The official road of the farmer

A circle of children watched in the yard. The twins were very excited when they saw their elder brother knelt down. They thought about it but dared not go there.

Ye Jun was full of words and wanted to tell his husband that although he hadn't stopped the correspondence in these years, there were many things that were inconvenient to say in letters.

He and his husband went to the study and had an in-depth conversation.

Qin Yaoliang was also very interested and followed suit.

Ye Junshu stayed at Qin's house until the evening before leaving the county under the enthusiastic persuasion of his teacher and his wife.The few soldiers who followed had already strolled around the county town, and bought several carts of rice noodles and other food by the way.

Ye Junshu and the others will stay in Yejia Village for a month at the shortest. The daily consumption of a dozen big men is equivalent to that of many families for several days, so it is safe to prepare more food.

As the carriage drove out of the county seat, Ye Junshu suddenly called a stop.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Ye Junshu got off the carriage, and said to Ye Junshan and the others, "I'm going to meet an old friend, you go back first."

Ye Junshan didn't ask much. It's normal for the elder brother to have his own circle of friends, but he just doesn't understand why he got off the car in a place outside the county where there are no populated houses.

Perhaps the eldest brother suddenly thought of going to visit.

Ye Junshan nodded, "Brother, come back early."

Lieutenant Liao just wanted to say that he would keep two people with him, but Ye Junshu stepped forward, "Leave one horse for me."

Ye Junshu didn't want anyone to follow, Lieutenant Liao had no choice but to obey orders in the end.

So he left a horse for Ye Junshu, and the others escorted the Ye family brothers back to Ye family village.

After Ye Junshu saw them off, he led the horse for a while, and followed his memory to a weedy path on the left.

This road seems to be seldom traveled by people, the road surface has not been specially cleaned, and the weeds are all over the ankles.

He suddenly thought of the father and son who had been buried here forever.

These years, he no longer deliberately thinks about them, only occasionally dreaming back at midnight.

How angry and resentful he was at the beginning, but now he has calmed down, just feeling sad.

Time always heals all wounds.

This time I came here on a whim and in a hurry, I hope Uncle Lei and Brother Pan don't mind him coming to visit them empty-handed.

But they are so good, they will not care about these.

Ye Junshu walked eastward and westward along the path, and finally came to the two graves that he buried next to each other in his memory.

He tied the horse to a small tree trunk not far away before walking to the grave.

There are still some sacrifices on the ground, which may have been visited by someone some time ago.

Maybe it's the elder brother he entrusted to take care of him from time to time, or maybe it's Pan's brother Ah Mu's natal family.

The surrounding weeds have been cleared, and now there is only a little bit of grass growing.

Ye Junshu pulled it out casually, and said in a hoarse voice: "Uncle Lei, Brother Pan, I'm here to see you..."

After many years, Ye Junshu still remembered the voices and faces of Uncle Lei and Brother Pan. Perhaps in ten or eight years, his memory would be blurred.

Ye Junshu babbled on some homely things, and he quieted down after a while.

What happened to Lu Geer and the death of Uncle Lei and his son gave him a blow to the head, making him realize that there are so many dangers hidden in this seemingly peaceful dynasty, which aroused him to work hard because he didn't want to be a fish for others.

He has done it, and he can do better in the future, but the people who passed away can't come back...

When Ye Junshu returned to Yejia Village, the sky had completely darkened. Every house in the village was lit with dim lights, and the road outside was not dark. The sky full of stars was enough for Ye Junshu to see the road under his feet clearly.

The small village that has just entered the night is still very lively at this time, people's voices, dogs barking, chickens, ducks and geese can all be heard.

The heat of the day seems to have been taken away, and the evening breeze reveals a comfortable coolness.

Ye Junshu walked on the country road, and his depressed mood gradually improved.

When he got home, his expression was the same as usual.

"Brother, you're back!" The twins saw Ye Junshu coming in for the first time, ran over quickly, pulled Ye Junshu and walked forward, "Brother, brother, Ah Mu made a lot of delicious dumplings, go and eat them! "

"Hey!" Ye Junshu responded with a smile, and walked forward along the twins' pull.

There are so many people in the family that it is lively, and it looks like everyone is in full swing.

Moreover, people in the village saw that they had a lot of family members, so they volunteered to help.

There are not many people who come to help every day under the overall arrangement of Pingboom, but those who voluntarily sign up have arranged days to come in turn.

Ye Junshu had no objection to this at all, and gratefully accepted the kindness of the folks.

All the uncles of the Ye family and senior elders were invited over.

After Ye Junshu came back, he soon sat with the old men and talked to each other.

"Boy, I went to the county seat today to visit County Magistrate Jiang. This county magistrate is diligent and loves the people like a child. I think the life of the uncles will be easier."

"Isn't it?" Ye Yurong said with a smile on his face, "The county magistrate usually pays close attention to our villages all over the world. In the past two years, the weather has been good, the crops have been harvested well, and the life of our folks has become much better. "

"Furthermore, Zizhou, you have taught the children to read and write in the past two years. Although it is difficult to find a job in our county, Shitou and a large group of other children went to Linfeng County and found easy jobs. Everyone It can bring back a lot of monthly salary every month."

"Yeah, in the past, there wasn't always a bit of meat on the table during the New Year and holidays. Now we can occasionally eat some meat to satisfy our cravings."

"yes……"

After hearing this, Ye Junshu was really happy for the villagers.

The folks did not lie to him. From their appearances now, it can be seen that life is indeed much better, and their spirits are different.

When his family was still in Yejia Village, the times were not very good. Basically, every household lived on tight belts. After years of not having enough to eat, almost all of them were sallow and thin, but now they are full of energy.

Ye Junshu smiled and said, "Uncles, please come over tonight, I have some things to discuss with you guys."

"You said, as long as we can do it, we can help!"

Although I already know that Ye Junshu is an official and the most powerful person in their village, but because Ye Junshu has never put on airs in front of the villagers, and his attitude is as respectful and humble as before, the villagers present are not in awe. Ye Junshu was regarded as a junior.

"Our village has always been inferior to other counties in terms of quality education, and our village has been poor for a long time, and we may not be able to provide children with school for a few years, so I think that our village can build a school of our own, so that Every child in our village can go to school!"

"really?!"

When Ye Junshu said this, some uncles were so startled that their hands were unsteady, and they looked at Ye Junshu excitedly.

If their village builds a school, it will be the only one in their Yejia Village in ten miles and eight villages!Moreover, their future children and descendants will all be able to go to school, and they don't have to be like them, who can't read a single character.

If you don't want to be as promising as Zhou Boy, at least you can be looked at by people when you go out.Ye Family Village is really going to build a school!

Ye Junshu nodded and continued, "The selection of the school's location and the start of construction will be left to the uncles. Before I leave, I will ask you to be kind, sir, and the school can start when the school is completed."

After a pause, Ye Junshu said again, "All the children in our village are free of charge, and all the fees for the sir will be paid from the company."

Every time Ye Junshu said something, the villagers present kept nodding in agreement.

"All the labor to build the school comes from the village, and each family sends at least one strong man. There is no labor fee, but materials?" Ye Yurong's eyes fell on Ye Junshu.

Ye Junshu smiled calmly, "Don't worry about this. Your Majesty is kind enough to reward me with a generous sum of money. Moreover, I have cooperated with Brother Haozi to do business. I can still afford the money."

When Ye Junshu was talking, his eyes turned to Sanbo, "I remember that Brother Haozi should have come back and told Sanbo at the beginning of the year, right?"

Uncle San's face turned pale for a while, and the people beside him couldn't help laughing, "Haozi came back at the beginning of the year, didn't the third brother kick him out again?"

Sanbo explained guiltily, "How do I know what he said is true?" Zizhou is the most promising scholar in their village. Although he knew that Haozi and Zizhou had a good relationship, who would have thought that they would cooperate in such a low-level business ?He thought Haozi was lying to him!

Daring Haozi came back at the beginning of the year, but he still couldn't enter the house!Ye Junshu was a little funny and helpless, so he explained to Sanbo, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with doing business. This is also a way out. When I become an official in the future, I will have to have a good relationship with my subordinates, and there will be gifts on New Year's and holidays. If you don't have money It's absolutely impossible, Brother Haozi is a talent with great business talent, if we can cooperate with him, we will definitely benefit from each other."

The third uncle didn't understand the twists and turns, but Zizhou said that there was a future in business, and Haozi still cooperated with Zizhou, so he immediately felt more at ease, and the third uncle said, "Then next time he comes back, I won't drive him away." out."

Ye Junshu smiled and nodded.

"In that case, leave this matter to me." Ye Yurong made a decision.

"In that case, I will trouble Uncle Rong."

During the few days Ye Junshu was at home, every day was as lively as New Year's Eve.

The day for Jinshi to erect a stele has been set in nine days, and the matter of the school will also start.

The flowing water banquet to celebrate Ye Junshu's title on the gold list was held for three days and three nights, and a grand and solemn sacrifice was also held in the Ye Family Ancestral Hall.

Taking advantage of the time of the banquet, Ye Junshu got in touch with the students he had acquainted with before, and planned to see who was suitable to be his Mr. Ye Family Village.

Children's education is particularly important. The so-called top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. A gentleman with bad conduct can easily teach the children badly. By then, won't their Ye Family Village be destroyed?

So Ye Junshu wants to find a gentleman who suits his heart, the kind who is knowledgeable, open-minded, and not pedantic.

Later, please ask Mr. to help introduce.Mr. has been running a private school for so many years, so he must know more, but there is no news for a while. Ye Junshu knows that this matter cannot be rushed, and he can always find the right one if he looks slowly. Anyway, he can find it before he leaves.

The second day after Ye Junshu's visit to Qin's house, Qin Yaoliang dragged his family to Ye's village, and every day he either walked or took care of the children.

There was no way, Ye Junshu was too busy, Qin Yaoliang didn't have the right time to have a good chat with him, so he had to bring the children with him.

While he was busy, Ye Junshu received a wedding invitation from Yu Maolin. He opened it and saw that the date of the contract was set to be [-] days later. After Ye Junshu calculated, everything in the village was on the right track. He just ended this busy period and went to Just in time for a wedding.

But Ye Junshu must go a day or two in advance, Yu Maolinfu said in his heart, let him be a married brother at that time, he is naturally obliged to do so.

I just don't know if Ah Yu can come back in time.

Ye Junshu missed him terribly.

I don't know where Ah Yu is at this time.

At this time, Mrs. Ye Chen came over suddenly, with an uneasy expression on his face. He smiled slightly, and then said to Ye Jun, "Master, there is a person who claims to be your aunt who is looking for you outside."

Ye Junshu's face suddenly faded, he closed his eyes, his heart was calm, and then said lightly, "Let him in."
