Even from a distance away, Ye Changxue excitedly pointed ahead and shouted, "I can already see the crops in my field. They're much taller than those in other fields."
After hearing this, the other people in the village who were working in the fields couldn't help but look over here.
The crops of the old Ye family now stand out from the crowd.
Not only is he taller than others, but he is also stronger.
The villagers all watch it every day, who wouldn’t be jealous?
When there are many people who are envious, naturally some will feel jealous.
But now even the county magistrate has come to see the Ye family’s crops, and there is an official from the capital who is watching and guarding them every day.
Therefore, no matter how jealous some individuals are, they would never dare to have any evil thoughts.
At most, the harvest will be less than others, but it is better than being arrested and put in jail.
However, most villagers attributed this achievement to the spring ox horns that the Ye family had buried in the ground.
They don’t believe that the Ye family has dug away Chun Niu Jiao!
It must have been secretly buried somewhere else.
Otherwise, everyone farms the same way, so why do his crops grow so much better than others?
So secretly, several families have been preparing to go to the capital city during the Spring Festival next year.
Even if you can't get the Spring Ox Horn, it would be good to get some other fragments.
After finding the target, the group quickly reached the end of the field.
It is almost the critical time for crops to ear, so Ye Lao Er and Grandpa Nie have been working in the fields from dawn to dusk every day.
"Dad! Dad!" Ye Changxue shouted loudly before he ran to his own field.
Ye Lao Er asked without even raising his head: "What are you doing here?"
"Ah..." Ye Changxue was confused by his father's question and said hesitantly, "My mother asked me to ask you to come home for dinner..."
"We eat at about the same time every day, do I need you to call me?" Ye Laoer's tone was full of disgust.
Ye Changxue had no choice but to turn around and look at Qingtian for help.
So Qingtian took two quick steps to the edge of the field and called out sweetly, "Second Uncle!"
When Ye Laoer heard Qingtian's voice, he immediately looked up and a smile spread across his face.
"Oh, the sunny day is back!
"Don't come down yet. It's hard to walk down there. Second uncle will be coming up soon."
After saying this, Ye Lao Er turned around and said to the person not far behind him: "Mr. Nie, let's go. It's time to go home for dinner!"
Ye Changxue quickly said, "We also need to show Mr. Wei and Mr. Lu our crops."
Wei Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I've long heard that Ye Jia's Erlang is an expert at farming. Now that I see him, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"
"Of course!" Old Master Nie finally emerged from the fields. "Maybe my farming skills aren't as good as his, but my vision is definitely not wrong."
As soon as Mr. Nie came out, everyone was silent for a moment.
Because his appearance at this moment was really a bit embarrassing.
Mr. Nie's face was already tanned red, and a soft cloth was hanging around his neck.
Although I wiped it from time to time, the sweat on my face still kept rolling down.
He held a charcoal pencil in one hand and a small notebook he made in the other, and around his arm hung the rope he used to measure his crops.
Wei Yan couldn't help but feel emotional upon seeing this, and he admired Mr. Nie's perseverance very much.
If he were to bury himself in the fields and work like this now, even if he knew it might be a great thing that would benefit the country and the people, he would probably find it difficult to persevere.
But the look in Grandpa Nie's eyes when he looked at the crops was even more intimate than when he saw his grandchildren, and even more warm than when he saw his beloved.
Mr. Wei took the opportunity to pull Qin Hexuan forward, hoping that Mr. Nie could talk about issues related to crop harvest.
Who knew that the first thing Mr. Nie said was praising the Ye family's crops.
“I haven’t seen crops growing so well in years!
“I once discovered a crop that grew exceptionally well in the wild.
"In order to protect it and wait for the harvest, I built a shack next to it and stayed there for more than four months.
"The harvested seeds were taken back and planted and harvested repeatedly, which greatly increased the yield.
“The rice grown around the capital nowadays is basically this variety.
"But no matter how well they grow, they can't be as good as the crops of the Ye family right now..."
Wei Yan stood beside him and listened to him for a long time, and his expression changed from smiling at the beginning to with the corners of his mouth turned down.
It's just that his beard was too thick and no one noticed it.
But Qingtian was very keenly aware of Wei Yan's impatience, so he took advantage of his young age and said directly to Ye Laoer: "Second Uncle, I'm hungry. When are we going back to eat?"
This was the first time for the others to hear what Grandpa Nie said, but Ye Lao Er had heard it countless times while working in the fields every day.
It's just that the other party is a court official, and it might even be related to whether he can be named the King of Grain, so he has gradually learned to let it go in one ear and out the other, just do his own work and not take anything to heart.
But now he was almost sleepy just standing there listening.
When he heard Qingtian say this, he immediately became energetic, bent down, picked up Qingtian and said, "Let's go home and eat."
Seeing his father about to turn back, Ye Changxue quickly said, "Dad, Qingtian wants to eat peanuts, can you dig some out for her?"
Hearing this, Ye Lao Er looked down at Qingtian in his arms and asked, "Want to eat some tender peanuts?"
The peanuts nowadays are still very tender, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like a pool of water in your mouth.
These will grow into plump peanuts in the future. Who would be willing to dig them out and eat them now?
