The carriage went up along the road outside the village and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The foot of the mountain was originally overgrown with weeds, trees and shrubs.
Now that everything has been cleared out, it looks a lot more spacious.
The progress of building the house was faster than Boss Ye had imagined, and the walls had already been built.
Ye Dongkui stood on a stone pier, shouting from time to time, directing everyone present.
"Uncle Dongkui, thank you for your hard work!" Boss Ye suddenly appeared beside him.
Ye Dongkui was startled at first, thinking that it was some young man in the village teasing him again.
When he looked down, he saw that it was Boss Ye, and Ye Dongkui was immediately happy.
"Hey, the eldest brother is back." Ye Dongkui came down from the rock and asked, "How is the fourth brother doing? Is his injury healed?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Si came over and said, "Uncle Dongkui, please check yourself to see if I'm okay!"
"Really? Then I'd like to take a good look." Ye Dongkui said, and was about to reach out to pull Ye Laosi's clothes.
The young wives who were helping around turned their heads away in shame.
But the aunties and aunties were all grinning from ear to ear and watching intently.
Ye Laosi quickly begged for mercy: "Uncle Dongkui, I was wrong. The wound is almost healed. There are only a few blood scabs left. It will be fine after they fall off."
Ye Dongkui was just joking and didn't really mean to pull Ye Laosi's clothes.
"Then why don't you wait until your injuries are healed before coming back?" Ye Dongkui asked with concern when he heard that he hadn't fully recovered yet, "Or are you planning to return to the village to recuperate?"
Ye Laosi was embarrassed to say the reason for his return this time, otherwise it would seem like he was bragging.
He smiled, scratched his head and turned away.
Ye Dongkui was left standing there in confusion, and could only turn his head to look at Boss Ye.
"What's going on? Why are you so shy after getting hurt?"
"Old Four, you're sorry." Boss Ye said for him with a smile, "Uncle Dongkui, I have good news for you.
"My fourth son has made great contributions and has now been promoted to the rank of seventh rank, called Zhonghou."
"Becoming an official?"
"Seventh rank, lower grade?"
Hearing this, all the villagers gathered around.
Although no one knew what the rank of Zhonghou was, everyone knew that the county magistrate was only a seventh-rank official.
Now Ye Laosi has suddenly become a seventh-rank official. Even if there is a "lower" in his rank, doesn't he still make him an official only slightly lower than a county magistrate?
The news spread quickly and Rongxi Village was in an uproar.
No one expected that such a remote and poor place could produce an official.
Not to mention that smoke was rising from the Ye family's ancestral grave again, even other families in the village felt proud of it.
Instead, Ye Laoer, who was helping to light the fire and cook at home, became the last person to know the news.
Compared with the excitement, excitement and even envy of the villagers, when his family thought of Ye Laosi, whose body was wrapped in cloth strips and covered with wounds, they felt only heartache and relief.
"Fourth Brother, this is what you deserve." Ye Lao Er patted his brother's shoulder and said, "But I still want to say that you should take it easy in the future.
"Don't just rush forward when you encounter something."
"Brother, I know, don't worry." Ye Lao Si said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Qingshan also said that to me.
"He said that our Yulin Guard is a whole and this is not a place for anyone to fight alone.
"When encountering problems, you must not act on your own, but use your brain and call for help more often.
"Otherwise, not only will you get hurt easily, but it might even cause more trouble.
"I will definitely not do this again."
"That's good." Ye Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Qingshan is still good at talking.
“I’m not good at speaking and can’t say that much good about others.
"You know what Second Brother means, just keep it in your mind."
When dinner was almost ready at home, the people who helped build the house and the children who went to school all came back together.
Coupled with the people who heard the news and came to congratulate and watch the fun, the front yard of the old Ye family was instantly crowded.
Boss Ye shouted several times before he managed to suppress the noise of the crowd.
"Tomorrow at noon, my family will have a banquet to celebrate, everyone must remember to come!
"Those who have nothing to do today, please help out. Go back first. The yard is really full and the masters still need to eat!
"Please, everyone, please make room for me first!"
The people Ye Dongkui chose to build houses this time almost covered every household in the village.
So when everyone heard this, they quickly dispersed and went home.
Only then did Wang Guangping squeeze in, sweating profusely.
As soon as he came in, he grabbed Ye Laosi's hand, but he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"Old Four, that's great! I'm so happy for you!
“Although you four brothers did not grow up in the village, when I look at you, it’s as if I’m looking at my own children.
"It's really not easy for the fourth child to achieve such great success!"
Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si chatted with the village chief for a long time. After the people who were building the house and their families had finished dinner, Ye Lao Si finally got away and went back to the house to start eating.
There was almost no food left in the room. Sister Ye said, "Eat all you can. If it's not enough, tell me."
"Sister-in-law, my brother hasn't eaten yet." Ye Laosi said.
"It's okay, I'll just make him a bowl of noodles, you can eat it quickly." Mrs. Ye said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Laosi cleaned up the remaining bottoms of the plates.
