Defeat natural disasters with farming

It took the three Ye family brothers nearly two hours to clean the shop. Father Ye put down the broom, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "It's almost there, let's rest first."

They brought four pancakes from home, and they were ready to eat after a little heating on the stove.

The pancake was wrapped with a layer of parchment paper. After Ye Yu uncovered it, he bit into it. The pancake skin made of millet porridge was covered with a thick layer of shredded potatoes and radishes, which tasted very crisp. There is a fried egg and a piece of pork sandwiched, and the sauce spread on it is mushroom sauce, which tastes fresh and fragrant, and this small pancake is very rich.

Father Ye ate the pancakes in his hand in two or three bites, folded the oiled paper bag and put it in the basket, took out the water bag and said to Ye Yu, "Don't just eat the pancakes, drink some water."

The water bladder has a good insulation effect. The hot water poured in in the morning is still half-warm.

Ye Yu quickly drank two mouthfuls to quench his thirst. Today's pancakes are a little salty.

Of course, the three adults are not full, but it is enough to pad their stomachs.

They had just finished eating the pancakes and packing up when they heard someone knocking on the door outside. Father Ye went out to check and found that it was Chen Yuan, the stall owner and Xie Xian.

"Come in and sit down." Father Ye welcomed them in.

He said slightly apologetically: "We just came here, and there is no tea or snacks in the shop."

Xie Xian waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm here to thank you, Brother Ye."

Father Ye was taken aback when he heard the words, he really didn't know why Xie Xian wanted to thank him.

Fortunately, Xie Xian quickly explained their doubts, "Thanks to Brother Ye, you saw through the kidnappers, the Yamen was able to find the gang of kidnappers and get the list of kidnapped children. They have already confirmed that one of them is my brother Ning. Isn't it worth it?" Come over and thank you."

Father Ye immediately became happy when he heard this, "Is there news about your child?"

Xie Xian replied with a smile: "Yes, Brother Ning was sold to Huaiyang County, and I will leave tomorrow to find the child."

"This is a great thing!" Father Ye said excitedly, "As long as you know where the child is, you will be able to find him sooner or later."

Chen Yuan interjected: "That's right, when the child comes back, maybe Mr. Xie's illness can be cured without treatment."

After all, most of Mr. Xie's illnesses are mental illnesses. As long as the mental illnesses are cured, the physical illnesses will be much easier, and the same is true for Mrs. Xie.

Xie Xian stretched his eyebrows and nodded, "I haven't told my father about this yet, I plan to tell him after I get the child back."

If there is an eventuality, which gives hope but disappoints, his father's body may not be able to withstand such a blow.

I can only hope that nothing happens.

Father Ye encouraged: "I will definitely find the child. When Brother Ning comes back, you can ask him to play with Brother Bao."

Ye Yuben was right next to them, and when he heard his name, he raised his head and said, "Uncle Xie can take him to the village, and we'll take him to skate."

Xie Xian patted his head lovingly, "Good boy, uncle will definitely take him to get to know you well when he returns."

The adults next to him all laughed, and after laughing, Chen Yuan started talking again, "Will you go to Huaiyang County alone, Lao Xie?"

"With my brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Xie Xian wanted to sigh again. It was impossible for the old and the weak in their family to travel across mountains and rivers. Only his wife's family had a young brother who could go out together.

The worries in Chen Yuan's heart eased a little, "I feel relieved when someone is with you. After you leave, you don't have to worry about the family. My wife will help take care of the old man and the others."

Xie Xian cupped his hands to express his gratitude, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness, I can tell you anything in the future."

"Hey, we are all neighbors. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It's normal to help each other when things happen."

Before they left, Xie Xian unloaded the basket, put it in front of Father Ye, and said, "This is a dried persimmon made by my daughter-in-law. It's not a precious thing. Let the children try it."

Indeed, as he said, the things in the basket were not valuable, so Father Ye didn't refuse and just accepted them.

Everyone thought that the suffering of the Xie family was finally over, but things did not develop as they imagined.

When Xie Xian hurried back, he was not only accompanied by a three or four-year-old boy, but also a couple. The couple could tell from their clothes that their family was quite wealthy. As for the little boy, he was also round and cute. You can see that they are well-raised.

Father Ye, who didn't understand the cause and effect, began to worry. Could this be the child's adoptive parents?

Sure enough, Xie Xian took the time to visit the lo-mei restaurant. He said bitterly to Father Ye: "The couple have been married for more than ten years and have no children. Brother Ning has been raised by them for this year. He can't remember us anymore. gone."

After all, Xie Ning was still a two-year-old child before he was abducted, and basically had no memory, and one year was enough for him to forget the vague memories in his mind.

Father Ye frowned and asked, "Then what are you going to do now?"

"Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are well-known benevolent people in Huaiyang County. They have more than 100 acres of land under their names. They said that if Brother Ning studies in Huaiyang County, he can enter Huaiyang Academy for enlightenment in the future."

The reputation of Huaiyang Academy is not small. Now there is a special school in the court called Huaiyang School, and the officials in it have all studied in Huaiyang Academy.

Although Father Ye is not familiar with this, Xie Xian understands very well that if Xie Ning can enter Huaiyang Academy, it will pave a smooth path.

"So after discussing with my family, I decided to move the whole family to Huaiyang County together."

Father Ye pondered for a while, and then began to persuade: "Brother Ning is your child, so it is right to stay here, why bother to move the whole family away. Besides, the child they bought from the kidnapper is not justified by saying that it is broken."

Xie Xian replied: "Huaiyang County is also very good."

"Back to business, I'm going to sell this shop, Brother Ye, do you want to take over?"

This is actually the real purpose of Xie Xian's coming here.

Father Ye sighed in his heart, and then asked, "How much money?"

"You paid half a year's rent before, and there are still three months left, just pay another 50 taels."

50 taels is really cheap, the market price of a shop like this is basically around 80 taels.

So Father Ye waved his hand, "Tell me a real number, 50 taels is equivalent to half sale and half free, it's really not suitable."

Xie Xian insisted on not changing the price, "50 taels of silver is just right."

The two argued to the end, and neither could convince the other, so they had to take a step back and finalized the transfer fee of 60 taels of silver.

When Father Ye returned to Yejia Village to get the money, he heard that Aunt Tang's youngest son, Zhao Song, had also been found. It's just that this child's luck was not as good as Xie Ning's.

But fortunately, after returning home, he will be able to raise him sooner or later.

After paying the tax at the yamen and signing the deposit, the shop where Ye's lo-mei is located was officially transferred to Father Ye.

And just a few days after the transfer of ownership of the food shop, the Xie family put their house on the store house, and because their house was very suitable both in terms of location and price, they sold it quickly.

Speaking of which, these things happened in just half a month.

Because the Xie family decided to leave on January 28th, Xie Xian specially held a banquet two days in advance, inviting many people including Ye's father and neighbors, relatives and friends.

Father Ye took Ye Yu to the banquet. This was also the first time Ye Yu saw Xie Ning. He looked very much like his parents, with very delicate facial features.

However, he didn't respond to the name Xie Ning at all, and he was more used to being called Zhou Derui.

His adoptive parents are also well-mannered and look like decent people.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Ye Yu who was obediently sitting with Father Ye, she loved Ye Yu so much, she patted Ye Yu's head and said with a smile, "This child is really Yuxue."

Ye Yu thanked Mrs. Zhou for her praise, which made her feel even more emotional, "The name Yu is well-earned, like the brilliance of jade."

Master Zhou patted Mrs. Zhou's hand. The two of them had never had children, so ever since Brother Rui came to the house, they regarded him as their parent and child, and now they were really reluctant to leave Brother Rui.

Halfway through eating, Xie Xian announced: "Everything in this house, if you like it, you can take it away."

They went to Huaiyang County with the Escort Bureau, so naturally they couldn't bring too many things with them, they could only bring valuables, and the rest of the daily necessities should be bought in Huaiyang County.

And the house will change owners in a few days, and the things in it are cheaper than the next owner, so it is better to distribute them to relatives and friends.

As soon as these words came out, most people were happy. After all, who doesn't like things that can be bought for nothing?

All kinds of odds and ends look inconspicuous, but in fact they add up to a high value, such as all kinds of kang tables, kang cabinets, pots and pans, and even the unpicked cabbage in the vegetable field were divided up by them.

Originally, Father Ye did not plan to participate, but Xie Xian gave him a book box, "This is the book box I have been using for many years, and now I can't take it away, so I just gave it to Brother Bao Well, it will be used when he enters school, and there are a few books in it, which I hand-copied, so it’s not a treasure, but it’s rare to say the least.”

After hearing what he said, Father Ye thanked him, then took the bookcase and put it beside him. Ye Yu touched it curiously. The surface of the bookcase was thick and moist with tentacles, and some places had been worn out.

The banquet can be called a feast for the guests and the host, and even Chen Yuan looked elated when he left with the bowl and chopsticks in his arms.

Chen Yuan's wonton stall has been upgraded to a restaurant. In addition to selling wontons, he also sells dumplings and noodles. Because of his good reputation, he can save a lot of money, not to mention a lot of money.

At the end of the banquet, Father Ye carried the bookcase on his back and led Ye Yu out with his right hand. He didn't say until he reached the door, "Let's send it here. I wish you all the best of luck."

Xie Xian clasped his hands and said: "From now on, I will say goodbye, and I don't know when I will see you again."

They might never see each other again for the rest of their lives. It would take half a month even to ride a horse from Donghai County to Huaiyang County, not to mention people like them who would never leave their hometown for the rest of their lives.

Father Ye showed emotion, "I won't say anything about parting, I just hope that you will be safe all year round."

"You too, the mountains are high and the waters are long, and we will meet again one day."

Ye Yu was held by Father Ye, looking back, Xie Xian's figure gradually disappeared in the dark night, this was the first time he experienced parting, even though he and Uncle Xie were not very familiar, there was still a trace of melancholy lingering heart.
