When I left Rongxi Village for the capital before Qingtian, the mountains and fields were still bare and yellow.
Now it is a refreshing green scene.
It is late spring now and the weather is just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
It is also the time when children love to play outside.
After having lunch at home, the Ye family children were not sleepy at all, so they simply took Qingtian out to play.
Ye Changnian first pulled Qingtian to the backyard and said, "Sister, look, the chicks and ducklings we brought back last time have grown so big!"
Isn’t it true? The chicks and ducklings that were once furry have now lost their down.
Not only are they not as cute as before, but the area they occupy has also increased dramatically. Now we have to separate half of the backyard specifically for them.
In the other half of the yard, cucumbers and beans have already started to climb the trellis, and other seedlings are also growing green and lush, looking particularly pleasing to the eye.
Ye Changnian said very proudly: "Qingtian, let me tell you, the vegetables in our vegetable garden are the best grown in the whole village.
"I'm not lying to you. I've checked out all the other houses in the village, and ours is the best."
Ye Changzhao said unconvincedly: "It's not your plant, so why are you so proud?"
"Although it was not planted by me, it was planted by my mother!" Ye Changnian continued to show off.
Ye Changzhao simply pulled Qingtian and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the fields to see that our crops are growing better than others!
“Many people from the village came to see our fields!
"My father said that it was thanks to you that you snatched the horns of the Spring Ox and buried them on our land that our crops grew so well this year."
Ye Changzhao took Qingtian out of the village and headed straight for the fields by the river.
The other children of the Ye family followed behind, talking and laughing as they walked towards their own fields.
None of them noticed that what they had just said was heard by Mrs. Wang who was sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun.
The fact that the Ye family's crops grew exceptionally well this year has become well-known in the village.
Especially after people from the capital came and bought all the vegetables from Old Ye's family, the villagers paid more attention to Old Ye's crops.
If you don’t pay attention, you won’t know. Once you pay attention, you will find that you are really inferior to others in every aspect.
The crops of the Ye family not only grow faster than those of other families, but are also stronger.
So this is the reason?
Hearing what the children said, Mrs. Wang looked thoughtful.
Ye Laoer was busy working in the fields at this time.
When they were outside the Great Wall, everyone in the village knew that Ye Laoer was a man who worked in the fields all year round.
Either I'm weeding or catching insects or I'm fertilizing and applying fertilizer. If there's really nothing to do, I'll harrow the ground and loosen the soil. In short, I put all my time and attention into the crops.
So everyone thinks it is natural that the Ye family's land grows better than that of other families.
After all, everyone can see how hard Ye Laoer works. It is normal that our crops cannot grow as well as others since we cannot reach his level.
But for the villagers of Rongxi Village, they don’t know Ye Laoer.
Even at the beginning of spring, many people met Ye Laoer and asked Ye Dongkui and Liu Quan for advice on farming.
At that time, there were a few families who disliked the Ye family and secretly gloated over their misfortune, saying that if the Ye family was only at this level, they would not be able to grow crops well even if they took the land back.
Who would have thought that after the crops of each family grew, the crops in Old Ye's field grew the best.
Those who were originally making sarcastic remarks and waiting to watch the fun were suddenly dumbfounded.
But no matter how they applied fertilizer and weeded, the crops in the fields could never grow as well as those of the Ye family.
There was even one family who was so impatient that they applied too much fertilizer and burned the roots of their crops.
Although we quickly watered the plants to dilute the damage, many seedlings still died, and the rest were burned and wilted, and they have not recovered yet.
Liu Quan came to the fields to work in the afternoon, carrying a hoe, and saw Ye Laoer weeding in the fields!
He quickly quickened his pace and came over and said, "Second Brother, you guys are back so soon? Is Fourth Brother's injury okay?
"Look, I was planning to come over to weed your house this afternoon, but you came back instead."
Ye Lao Er straightened up after hearing this, lifted the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat off his face, saying: "Uncle, it's okay, I've only been away for a few days, there's not much grass, I just can't sit still after coming back, so I just scratched it a few times.
"The fourth brother was seriously injured, but fortunately the medicine prepared by the imperial physician was excellent, so he recovered quickly and should be fine.
"Uncle, you've been really busy these past few days, and you also have to help my family look after the fields."
"Isn't this outrageous?" Liu Quan said, "Like you said, you haven't been gone for many days, and I haven't been of much help. I just come over to take a look when I go to work in the fields every day!"
"Uncle, it would be a great help if you could come and help." As Ye Laoer spoke, he finished hoeing the land again and turned around to walk back.
Liu Quan stood on a high place, watching Ye Lao Er wield the hoe as nimbly as chopsticks, leaving not a single weed in the ground. He couldn't help but sigh, "You guys asked me for advice on farming before. Your aunt was worried that you guys didn't know how to farm, so she asked me to teach you more!
"It turns out that you are much better at farming than I am.
"Let alone our village, I don't think there is a farmer who is better at farming than you in the surrounding area.
"Look at your corn, it's grown so thick, while mine is still thin and short!
"Work harder, kid. Plant well. By autumn, you might even be able to bring home the title of 'Grain King'!"
