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

Chapter 352 Sister Lin

Erwa’s happy days were over. His father was worried that he would be retaliated against at the dock, so he stayed at home with his grandparents.

Wait until next year and let him go to a private school.

Ye Qing felt a little guilty, so he specifically asked Erwa to help mow the lawn at home.

The children in the village play in the mountains every day, and they can fill a basket with just a little bit of food.

Erwa is a diligent child. He makes two trips a day and uses the money he earns to buy candy.

Everyone in the village received the notice and was asked to keep an eye on Su's shop to prevent him from doing anything bad.

The son of housekeeper Su Er is a patient man who works diligently at the dock every day.

No one would go to the Su family shop for work for local people.

He could only take on some work from outside ships, but he had to bring the workers over himself.

People working at the dock were reluctant to deal with him, fearing that they would be sold out one day.

The people in Kaoshan Village remained silent, pretending to be ignorant of the situation, and secretly hired someone to investigate the Su family.

Ye Erlang commuted between the pier and his home every day. He found a shop that was a little far from the pier, but not too remote.

Ye Erlang recruited a few assistants and called back his apprentice.

Ye Song has been learning for a few years and now can do all the work in the store.

Let him come this time to familiarize himself with the procedures of opening a store. When he is older, let him go to the branch store to be a manager.

Ye Qing went with the store for two days and helped out with some ideas. She had some different ideas about the store design.

The shop that Ye Erlang rented had a yard. He wanted to put the kitchen in the backyard and sell dried meat in the front.

Ye Qing thought of some practices in later generations and tried to persuade Ye Erlang.

"Brother, you don't have to use the entire shop to sell jerky. There aren't many types of jerky, so just set aside a portion."

"It's a bit of a waste for such a big shop." Ye Erlang felt that the place was big enough and there was no need to be so stingy.

Ye Qing explained to him, "Leave more than one meter, and it will look like a lot if a few people stand there. More people will attract others."

After hearing this, Ye Erlang couldn't help but nod his head. That's the truth.

"Building an oven in the shop allows people to see our production process, and the aroma from the oven can also attract people."

Ye Erlang had never seen this kind of design and was still thinking about its feasibility.

Ye Qing did not persuade him anymore. It depended on what her second brother thought. She was just making a suggestion.

Seeing that his second brother was still hesitating, Ye Qing went to the bookstore first.

The bookstore had a big business these two days. A scholar who was going to Beijing to take an imperial examination brought more than a dozen books that the bookstore did not have.

The scholar didn't want money, he just wanted to exchange books with the bookstore.

His books are not common, so Ye Xin didn't dare to make the decision and asked Ye Qing to make the decision.

Ye Qing met this scholar once. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very decent.

The whole person's temperament seems extraordinary.

Ye Qing asked him to leave his calligraphy and he could read any book in the bookstore.

Mr. Yan agreed readily and not only left a calligraphy but also a painting of the pier.

Ye Qing was worried that Mr. Yan would go back on his word, so he found six or seven students from the private school overnight and asked them to copy the book as soon as possible.

Ye Qing entered the shop and saw Yan Shusheng sitting on a mat on the ground, reading a book seriously.

There were a few other people in the shop, who also looked like scholars, reading books intently.

Ye Qing asked an old man in the village to weave a cushion, made a cover with cloth, and placed it on the ground so that people who were standing to read could sit down and read for a while.

Ye Qing didn't disturb them and went straight to the backyard.

When Ye Qing went in, Ye Xin was writing something at his desk.

"Qingya is coming." Ye Xin looked up and saw Ye Qing walking in.

"I'm busy. The bookstore is well decorated and there are more and more people coming into the store now." Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"You have a lot of ideas. The store provides tea and a place to read books. Everyone likes to come here to spend time." Ye Xin has been improving the bookstore based on the opinions of Ye Qing and other people who come to read books.

Ye Qing also made suggestions for improvements based on her needs for reading at home. Although it cost a little more money, the reading environment was greatly improved.

"Are Mr. Yan's calligraphy and paintings in the store? I plan to take them back, so I won't keep them in the bookstore."

Ye Qing likes to collect the calligraphy of these people. They are all scholars and may become officials someday.

It won’t be so easy to collect them in the future.

Ye Qing received the calligraphy and paintings from recent days. There was another piece of paper on top of the calligraphy and paintings, which contained the information of the owner of the calligraphy and paintings.

She carefully read the information on the calligraphy and paintings, opened each painting and admired it carefully for a while before she decided to go back satisfied.

Ye Qing said goodbye to Ye Erlang and went home first. She had nothing to do at the dock, so she might as well go home and help out.

Now that there are many people in my family, we cannot do without people on the farm.

Zheng Qin can't stand the smell of cooking fumes now and can't help.

Mrs. Zhou was busy preparing meals for the whole family and was a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that it was still early, Ye Qing did not whip the ox and let it walk slowly. She hummed a little tune and ate the duck neck she had bought as she went home.

After entering the village, Ye Qing didn't see anyone.

During this period, the Chinese medicinal herbs grown on the mountain are almost ready to be harvested, so they have to watch over the mountain and prevent wild animals from destroying them.

When Ye Qing walked to the center of the village, he suddenly heard a shout.

She quickly whipped her whip towards the direction of the sound, answering as she walked.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

I heard someone responding over there and shouted twice more.

Ye Qing didn't hear clearly, and drove the ox cart towards there, wishing he could install wings on the ox so he could get there faster.

Ye Qing turned the corner and finally saw the person who was turning around in circles anxiously over there.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong?" Ye Qing jumped out of the car and supported Aunt Wang.

"Qingya, hurry up and find a midwife. Your sister-in-law is about to give birth." Wang didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off her face and urged Ye Qing to go quickly.

Ye Qing knew the importance of the matter, so he turned the car around and headed towards the midwife's house.

Ye Qing didn't care about the cow at home. The whip cracked in the air, and the old cow seemed to know its owner's anxiety, so it spread its legs and ran away.

"Grandma Wang, the eldest sister-in-law of the Lin family is about to give birth. Please go and take a look." Ye Qing knocked on the door and called for help.

The Lin family informed the midwife and did not go out for the past two days, waiting for news at any time at home.

Granny Wang came out to open the door, and her eldest daughter-in-law followed her out with the delivery tools.

"Qingya, let's go quickly. Your sister-in-law Lin is giving birth to her first child, and we don't know what it will look like yet."

"Aunt, have you brought all your stuff? I came here by car, so you can put more."

Granny Wang smiled and patted Ye Qing's hand, "Child, we are going to deliver a baby, why do we need to bring so many things?"

Ye Qing was very considerate. He walked over, helped Grandma Wang get into the car, and also helped carry her things into the car.

Granny Wang's daughter-in-law locked the door and got on the cart, and Ye Qing drove the ox cart towards the Lin family.
