The next morning, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er drove a cart, taking Old Lady Ye and the children to the capital.
It was a very normal thing, and I used to go there often.
But today, for some reason, the villagers all came out to greet them.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I met Ye Qinggang from next door.
As soon as I came out of the alley, I saw Ye Qingyuan and his wife.
Next came Ye Juaner and his wife, Ye Dongkui and his wife...
When the carriage arrived at the village entrance, we found that many people had gathered under the big banyan tree at the entrance, including the village chief Wang Guangping.
Everyone was holding something in their hands.
Boss Ye became more and more confused and subconsciously pulled the reins.
The horses slowed down and the villagers gathered around them in an instant.
"Sister-in-law Ye, are you going to the capital? Here are my family's new peanuts this year. Take some for your family."
"Aunt Ye, this is cornmeal made from my own corn. It's delicious. Take it and make some porridge for Qingtian."
"And here's mine. My beans are growing well this year. I'm bringing some for you to try."
After everyone gathered around, they started scrambling to stuff various things into the car.
Old Mrs. Ye was shocked. Although the villagers’ attitude towards her family is much better now than it was at the beginning, they shouldn’t be so enthusiastic, right?
But she alone couldn't stop so many people from putting things into the car.
Soon, the car was filled with cloth bags of all sizes.
After seeing that everyone's things had been given away, Wang Guangping came forward from behind.
Boss Ye said helplessly: "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
I heard that the Emperor is going to reward your second son when you go to the capital this time?"
"That should be the case. We don't know either. We have to listen to their instructions after we go there."
"That's right." Wang Guangping nodded repeatedly, "Actually, we don't have any other intentions. This year, thanks to your family's good crops, the prices of grain sold by other families in our village are higher than the market price.
“Everyone sent these things out of a sincere desire to thank your family.
"And, Second Brother, now that you've become the grain king, you're inseparable from the soil and water of our village. If there's anything good happening, you should always think about our village first!"
It was not until they heard the last sentence that the Ye family finally understood what Wang Guangping and the villagers meant.
Originally, after Mr. Zhan said that day after drinking that the village could benefit from Ye Lao Er's fortune, Wang Guangping thought it was a pie in the sky and that the village just had to wait and welcome this overwhelming wealth.
Unexpectedly, Chai Zhiming's words shattered his original confidence.
"Don't be too complacent, you should know that Ye Lao Er is not only the grain king of the capital region, but also the grain king of the entire north.
"His family's highest per-acre yield has already caught up with cultivated fields in the south.
"Even the emperor personally commended him and rewarded him!
"I can say that with his current achievements, as long as he doesn't plan to farm in the palace, the emperor will give him any place he wants.
"It's not certain whether she will ever return to your Rongxi Village. I'm afraid even Fengle County can't keep her!"
Chai Zhiming's words made Wang Guangping unable to sleep well for several days.
When he heard that the Ye family had asked for leave for their children and were going to the capital, he hurriedly mobilized the entire village to come out and see them off, which led to the scene just now.
After understanding Wang Guangping's concerns, Ye Lao Er said, "Village Chief, don't worry, if anything good happens, I will definitely think of our village first.
"Apart from anything else, you can see that our newly built houses are all in the village. This is the root of our Ye family."
After hearing what he said, Ye Laoda quickly tried to make up for it and said, "Yes, Village Chief, whenever he can make a decision on his own, Lao Er will definitely think about the village."
Wang Guangping was old, so how could he not understand what Boss Ye meant.
But he couldn't say anything more.
After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places. The four sons of the old Ye family are more promising than the other, and he can't stop them from getting better and better.
Now we can only hope for what Ye Lao Er said. After all, the Ye family has built such a large row of houses in the village. We can't just abandon them right after they are built, right?
Everyone saw the Ye family off with their own thoughts, until even the tail of the carriage was out of sight, and then they turned around and walked home in twos and threes.
“The Ye family’s ancestral tomb is buried in a really good place.
"It goes without saying that Ye Qingshan has become a general.
"Even this family who fled famine from outside the Great Wall seemed to have lucked out after arriving in the village. They really have hope for the future!"
Listening to the villagers gossiping, Ye Juaner couldn't help but say, "I don't know whether the ancestral grave of the old Ye family is buried in a good place, but I know that there are so many families in the Ye clan, and I haven't seen any family live better than his family!
"Instead of worrying about whether someone's ancestral grave is well buried, it's better to think about whether they are more capable and work harder than you."
As soon as Ye Juaner said this, the few people who had been making sarcastic remarks just now all shut up and didn't dare to say anything more.
On the other side, Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er drove their carriage straight to the capital.
After entering the capital, he went straight to Mrs. Ye's restaurant.
By now, most of the guests who had lunch had left.
Several guys were busy cleaning up.
Mrs. Ye finished preparing the last dish ordered by the customer and was about to go back to rest for a while.
As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I saw Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Er driving their cars into the backyard one after another.
