Ye Laoer's unconscious words shattered the beautiful life that Mr. Zhan had just imagined.
Mr. Zhan rolled his eyes at him, then realized that Mr. Ye didn't notice at all, and couldn't help but smile again.
After spending some time together, Mr. Zhan has a very good understanding of Ye Lao Er's personality.
Perhaps it is precisely because of his personality that he can calm down and focus on farming without distraction.
So Mr. Zhan was too lazy to argue with him. He just drank his soup and collapsed comfortably in the chair.
As a result, I accidentally became too comfortable and almost slipped off the chair and under the table.
"Grandpa, what's wrong? You didn't drink any alcohol, but you look like you're drunk." Ye Lao Er was startled and grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
Everyone in the room inside and outside heard his shout and turned their heads to look over here.
Mr. Zhan's face flushed, and he quickly steadied himself and said, "It's mainly because this mushroom soup is so delicious, even better than wine!"
This statement was so incoherent that it made everyone laugh.
However, everyone agreed that mushroom soup was delicious.
Moreover, seeing Mr. Zhan's embarrassed look, everyone said that it was the first time they had tasted such delicious mushroom soup, which helped him cover up the little incident just now.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they stood up and discovered that their stomachs were all bulging.
Even several guards from Prince Rui's palace secretly loosened their belts under the table while eating.
I didn’t feel it when I was sitting before, but when I suddenly stood up, I felt like my throat was full.
Old Madam Ye came out from the inner room and asked, "Who of you will go to the fields to relieve the people on duty and come back for dinner? Or should we send the food to them at the edge of the fields?"
Ever since the people from Prince Rui's Mansion arrived, several guards had nothing to do, so they built a temporary small house at the edge of the Ye family's land. People could use it to avoid the sun at noon, and take turns to rest in it at night, and eating in it was no problem at all.
Several guards who were sent to protect the Ye family's crops were stunned when they heard this. They turned their heads to look at the dishes on the table that had been eaten up by everyone, and kept slapping their foreheads.
"It's over. I was so busy eating that I forgot about them!"
"What should I do? We are in the village now, not in the capital. If I want to go out and buy some food, there is nowhere to buy it."
"We still have some duck bone soup left. Why not add some mushrooms and make some noodles for them?"
Several guards tried to find ways to make amends.
Sister Ye felt helpless after hearing this and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, the old lady asked me to save their food in advance.
"It's hard enough for people to stand guard in the fields, how can we let them eat leftovers?"
When they heard this, they immediately looked happy and expressed their gratitude.
"Thank you so much. Please give us the food and I will take it to them."
"Then I'll pack it for you." Mrs. Ye said as she packed several dishes and two soups separately, put them in two food boxes and handed them to the person who was speaking.
He walked out with the food box in his hand and said to the others, "Okay, I'm going to deliver the food. You guys should stay here and help me clean up."
The rest of the people finally understood the other party's active intentions and felt both angry and amused.
But they still rolled up their sleeves and started to clear the table.
Seeing that the Ye family’s children were also helping with things within their abilities, Pei You and Fan Yizhou quickly joined in helping.
With strength in numbers, the two tables that were littered with cups and plates were quickly cleaned up.
The leftover soup and cold meat were poured into the泔水袋. Ye Laoer took a broom and swept the floor clean in a few strokes.
But there was only so much work to do, and a lot of people were rushing to do it, so no one did much, and it didn't help digest dinner at all.
So Mr. Zhan called a few people who came to help with farming and prepared to go out for a walk together.
Pei You and Fan Yizhou gathered together with several guards who came to guard the crops, and prepared to take a look at the Ye family's fields.
If you still can't digest it, just run a few laps along the river.
The room was full of people just now, but it dispersed in the blink of an eye.
The scene brought back memories for Old Mrs. Ye, and she suddenly felt sad.
After the old man died, she had struggled for many years to support and grow the family, but now it is similar to the scene before her eyes. The children all have their own families and their own development, and it is impossible for them to stay by her side forever.
The children's lives are getting better and better, and Old Mrs. Ye is naturally happy and relieved.
But the desolation and loneliness that comes with it are something only she can understand.
Fortunately, there are still a few children at home. After the autumn harvest, if all the children were sent to study in the capital, there would be no one left in this family.
As Old Mrs. Ye thought about it, her eyes unconsciously became moist.
She blinked her eyes quickly, trying to suppress the inexplicable emotion that came over her.
Who knew that a tear would come out of his eyes?
Tears slid down her cheeks to her lips, turning into a small, somewhat suspicious puddle of water, which was seen by Ye Changnian who had just returned from the toilet.
Ye Changnian's steps into the house suddenly stopped, his eyes slowly widened, as if he saw something incredible.
"Niannian, I..." Old Mrs. Ye wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
At that moment of stuck, Ye Changnian turned around and ran out.
Old Mrs. Ye was afraid that he would go out and talk nonsense, so she quickly got up and followed him out.
But her legs were no match for a child's. As soon as she walked out of the main door, she saw Ye Changnian had already gone into the kitchen.
At this moment, Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Ersao were washing dishes in the kitchen.
Cui was helping out beside them while telling them about the latest happenings in the village.
The three were talking excitedly when Ye Changnian suddenly rushed in.
"Auntie! Second Auntie!" Ye Changnian shouted as he came in, "Is there anyone left over from tonight's meal?"
"What are you doing? You don't want to eat more, do you?" Ye Ersao looked at Ye Changnian's bulging belly and reached out to touch it. It was hard and round. "If you want to eat, I'll make it for you tomorrow. You really can't eat any more today. If you eat more, your stomach will be broken!"
Old Mrs. Ye had also chased to the kitchen door at this time. She felt relieved when she heard what he said, thinking that children are just children, and all they think about is delicious food.
Besides, it was dark and the light was dim, so Ye Changnian might not have seen himself crying just now.
Just as Old Madam Ye breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn back, she heard Ye Changnian say in the kitchen, "Second Aunt, it's not that I want to eat, I'm already full.
"Grandma wants to eat! I just saw her secretly wiping her saliva in the house!
"Grandma must be worried that we won't have enough to eat, so she doesn't want to eat any herself and wants to leave some for us!"
Old Mrs. Ye: “…”
