After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 343 Brother and Sister Go Up the Mountain

The books given by Ye Qing helped him make many friends in the academy, and everyone would lend him books if they had any.

Ye Qing realized that there was a follow-up. Thinking of the study room at home, his eyes rolled and he decided to tell him tomorrow. If he told him today, he would not be able to sleep all night.

Today is a festival, so the storytellers in the village have gone back home and will continue telling stories tomorrow.

Ye Chenjing talked to his family about the interesting things that happened in the academy for a while, and then went back to sleep because he couldn't hold on any longer.

Ping'an and Erbao are still chasing fireflies in the yard. They want to study how fireflies emit light.

Both of them had short legs and after chasing for a long time, they still couldn't catch up.

Ye Dalang held one in each hand and took them to the bathroom.

The two children have grown up and need to be suppressed by force to keep them under control.

The next morning, Ping An got up early to memorize his lessons and met Ye Chenjing who got up even earlier.

The uncle and nephew did not disturb each other. They each found a place in the yard and memorized the contents of the book.

I don’t know if it’s because of Ye Chenjing’s company, but Ping An felt that he was very efficient today and it took him much less time to memorize an article than usual.

Ye Chenjing noticed Ping An, and after seeing him recite five or six articles, he went back to eat.

Ye Chenjing completed his goal for today and planned to send Ping An to a private school. On the way, he told him that he should review what he had learned before from time to time.

Ye Chenjing didn't plan to study today. They could stay at home for ten days this time, so they decided to go for a walk in the mountains.

Ye Erlang had nothing to do at home, so he carried a backpack and went up the mountain with Ye Qing and Ye Chenjing.

Now the fruits on the mountain are ripe, and the children in the village like to look for food in the mountains after school.

Ye Qing still remembers those kiwi trees and planted a few at home, but he felt that none of them were as sweet as those from those trees.

There are several pomegranate trees on the mountain. Now is the season for them to mature, so I go up the mountain to see them every day these days.

When the pomegranates are ripe, they must be picked in time. If they are left too long, they will ripen and crack, which will be a good opportunity for the birds on the mountain.

The three men did not bring any water, but there were several springs on the mountain. The water was sweet and delicious, and everyone who went up the mountain liked to go there to drink water.

Ye Qing took them to see the beehive. She discovered this beehive when she went up the mountain this summer and planned to take it in the fall.

"Second brother, it's in that valley. Do you see it? It's very big." Ye Qing pointed it out to him excitedly.

The two looked in the direction Ye Qing pointed, and sure enough, there was a big beehive hanging on a dead tree there, with bees flying around.

Ye Erlang and his brothers and sisters looked at each other and stepped out. When they were far enough away from the hive, the three of them started to discuss.

"Second brother, let's bring tools to collect honey tomorrow." Ye Chenjing's eyes were full of excitement.

Ye Erlang was also somewhat tempted, as the honey was obviously better than the ones sold in the city.

"Go back and prepare. We'll come and try tomorrow." Ye Erlang thought about going back to ask his uncle what to do.

Ye Qing had come along to collect honey last time, but it was her uncle who did the work, so she was far away and did not feel the danger.

The three of them picked a basket of kiwis and some jujubes. They came across a few orange trees, but the fruits under them had already been picked.

Ye Chenjing rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands a few times, climbed up the tree, carefully picked the oranges and put them in the backpack.

"Brother, we've had enough. We can't pick any more." Ye Qing was a little afraid of heights and was terrified as he watched from under the tree.

Ye Erlang was also worried about his younger brother and persuaded him to come down.

Ye Chenjing looked at the ripe oranges on the tree and got down from the tree with some regret.

The oranges were at the top and he couldn't get through.

Ye Qing stretched out his hands and stared at Ye Chenjing as he slowly slid down, not daring to blink.

Ye Chenjing was a child who grew up in the mountains, so climbing a tree was no problem at all. Seeing his sister's worried look, he peeled an orange for her in a good mood.

Ye Qing took it and shared it with his two brothers. The ripe orange was sweet and delicious.

The three of them came back very early, and they were home before the sun set.

Li opened the door for them and was so happy to see the three baskets of food that she couldn't stop smiling.

"We can't finish all the oranges." Li looked at the oranges that were not easy to store and peeled one to taste it.

"This is sweet. Eating oranges can easily cause getting a sore throat. Give a few to your grandparents, and some to your grandchildren's grandparents. The older ones can also bite them." Mrs. Li asked her grandson to deliver the oranges.

Ye Chenjing came back and before he had a good talk with his grandparents, he washed himself, changed into clean clothes, and went to Zhou's house.

Ye "washed a basket of dates and sent it to my second sister-in-law, saying that eating more fruits during pregnancy is good for the baby.

Erbao was already sitting next to Li, and the two of them, one old and one young, were eating oranges slowly.

Ye Qing helped Zhou to cook. There was still some dry food at home, so all he needed to do was cook some dishes.

"Mom, try this orange, it's delicious. My fifth brother went to give oranges to grandpa and grandma and will be back for dinner soon." Ye Qing peeled the orange and handed it over.

Zhou wiped the sweat from her forehead, washed her hands, and took the orange.

"Did you pick a lot? I'm thinking of giving some to your grandparents." Zhou said this, but she was very happy in her heart that her parents' love for these children was not in vain.

"My grandma picked half of the basket and asked my brother to deliver it. The old man could barely bite it." Ye Qing described the scene at that time.

Zhou was grateful to Li and was also thinking about her parents, and she decided to be filial to them in the future.

"Mom, there are some leftover bones at home. Add some radish and make some soup." Ye Qing asked Zhou while holding the large bones left over from yesterday.

"Okay, give your grandparents some nourishment. Their legs and feet are not as good as before." Zhou went to the storehouse to get radishes.

They finished cooking, but Ye Erlang had not come back yet.

"Let's eat, don't wait any longer. Your uncle should keep Wulang for dinner." Zhou urged everyone to eat and go listen to the teacher's storytelling later.

Ye Erlang and Zheng Qin quickened their eating pace. They had just been listening for a whole day and were now fascinated.

Ye Qing brought a cool mat for the fifth brother, and he would definitely go there in a while.

Ye Qing was holding Erbao and chatting with a good friend when he saw his fifth brother coming from afar.

She gently patted Erbao's little butt, pointed at Ye Chenjing, and asked Erbao to call him over.

"Uncle Wu, we are here."

The gurgling sound could be heard from far away. Ye Chenjing turned around and saw his sister holding Erbao and waving at him.

When Ye Chenjing came over, he also took a watermelon. He greeted the people around him first, then cut the watermelon into pieces and shared it with the elders around him.

"Fifth brother, where did you get the watermelon?"

"My uncle gave it to me. He planted a few watermelon trees by the pond. He planted them late, so we can still eat them now." Ye Chenjing explained.

"There are some over at our pond too. You can go pick them tomorrow." Ye Qing thought of a few melons that were almost ripe and reminded Ye Chenjing.

When Ye Qing heard that the story today was about the knight Zhang De, he remembered that he had forgotten to tell the story to his fifth brother today.
