After the Ye family returned home, it was time to eat.
After dinner, just as Ye Lao Er was about to go to Ye Dongkui's house to learn about the farming time and solar terms, Ye Lao Da called all his brothers into Old Lady Ye's room.
"Mom, Qingshan told me something today. I think it's a good thing, but I still need to listen to Mom and the fourth brother's opinions. Second and third brothers, you should also follow and discuss it."
Ye Laosi was the last one to come in. He didn't expect that it was something related to him. He looked up at Ye Lao Da and Ye Qingshan in surprise.
What does it have to do with me? It can't be that I'm getting married, right?
Ye Laosi was just daydreaming when he heard Ye Qingshan say, "I've returned to the capital from the border this time, and the emperor plans to let me take over the management of the capital. Lord Qin has also revealed this to me, so it should be almost certain. I'm just waiting for the emperor's order.
"I thought that the fourth child has nothing to do at home now. If he is willing and his family agrees, he might as well go to the capital with me.
"Even though you have to start from the bottom, with me looking after you, you don't have to worry about your future."
When Ye Laosi heard what Ye Qingshan said, he became excited.
He is not Ye Laoer, and he does not have such a strong passion for farming. He does not want to stay in the village to farm for the rest of his life, and he wants to go out and try his luck.
If Ye Qingshan hadn't mentioned this matter at this time, Ye Laosi would have been considering whether to go out to sea to the West to broaden his horizons.
So as soon as Ye Qingshan finished speaking, Ye Lao Si didn't even bother to wait for Old Lady Ye to express her opinion and said first: "Brother Qingshan, I'm willing. I'll do it with you!"
"Don't worry." Old Madam Ye glared at Ye Lao Si, then turned and said, "Qingshan, I understand that you want to help Lao Si, but he has no education and no other skills.
"The few punches and kicks I know of are no match for you.
"What can he do there? Don't let him cause you trouble later."
From the bottom of her heart, Old Mrs. Ye certainly hopes that Old Fourth Ye can be successful and have a bright future.
But the prerequisite is that he really has such ability, instead of relying entirely on others for help.
Not to mention that Ye Qingshan is just a cousin, and there is no affection between them having grown up together.
Of course, Old Mrs. Ye believed that Ye Qingshan was willing to help her family from the bottom of his heart.
But to be frank, even between brothers who grew up together, if one always helps the other, rifts will arise over time, let alone a relationship like theirs.
She didn't want her relationship with Ye Qingshan to become strained because of this incident.
Upon hearing that this was the first issue that Old Lady Ye considered, Ye Qingshan's desire to help Old Fourth Ye became even stronger.
"Auntie, you are still worried about the son you raised yourself?
"Old Four won't cause me any trouble, and he might even be able to help me a lot!
"Well, this is pretty standard practice. When I take up a position, I need to have a few trustworthy people around me, right?"
After hearing this, Old Lady Ye felt relieved and turned to look at Old Fourth Ye and said, "If you want to go out and try your luck, I won't stop you.
"But I'm going to be frank with you. If you dare to do anything bad under the banner of Qingshan after you go to the capital, I will be the first one to not forgive you!"
"Mom, don't worry. Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Ye Lao Si said, "As long as Brother Qingshan is willing to give me this opportunity, I will definitely work hard to improve myself."
"Okay, then it's settled." Ye Qingshan said with finality, "Old Four, pack your things and come back to the capital with me tomorrow."
Only at this time did Old Lady Ye finally start to care about the details of the matter.
"Do I need to bring my bedding along? Will I have a place to stay when I get there?
"You can't always live in your brother Qingshan's house, right?
"Why don't you take less things with you first, and then ask your eldest brother to bring you anything you need later."
"Don't worry, Auntie, you can stay at my house first.
"Just take your luggage and other things with you, there's room for them in the car anyway.
"Once I arrange a job for him, he'll have a place to live.
"When the time comes, I'll arrange for someone to help him move over and settle in.
"But don't bring too many outer clothes. We will provide them when the time comes."
"That's fine." After hearing Ye Qingshan's thorough consideration, Old Lady Ye didn't ask any further questions. She turned around and told Old Fourth Ye, "Pack your things tonight and don't delay your brother Qingshan's return to Beijing tomorrow."
After we finished discussing this matter, it was already dark outside.
Ye Lao Si went back to his room to pack his things. Seeing that it was still early, Ye Lao Er said goodbye to Ye Ersao and went out to look for Ye Dongkui. He came back quite late.
The next day, after breakfast, the whole family sent Ye Qingshan and Ye Laosi away. Then Ye Laoer called out, "Brother, Third Brother, please help me carry all the manure to the fields. We need to start preparing for spring plowing."
"So early?" Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao San were surprised at first, and then they figured out what was going on.
"No wonder I keep seeing villagers pushing carts back and forth these past few days. It turns out they're transporting fertilizer to the fields."
"Old Four should be happy now, he just managed to escape." Old Third Ye said with a smile.
"That's right, he has had a nose like a dog since he was young and is too sensitive to smells.
"I remember when we were outside the Great Wall, every time he was asked to turn the fertilizer or carry manure to the fields, he would not be able to eat for several days."
As Ye Lao Er loaded manure onto the flatbed truck with a shovel, he said, "So I hope that Lao Si can work hard with Qingshan in the capital. If he has a promising future, he won't have to go back to the village to farm."
