Chapter 802 Homecoming
The team led by Yang Xi was magnificent, and the children in the field ran back to the village in fear. The village was instantly quiet, as if the crowd just now was an illusion.

Ye Shun and Ye Qiming had already got off the carriage. Ye Shun stood on the side of the road and looked in the direction of the ancestral house. There were five thatched sheds on the site. Ye Shun's eyes were complicated, but many people survived.

Yang Xi and his wife also got out of the carriage. They had a deep impression of Ye Shun's hometown. When Ye Shun's family was kicked out, Ye Qiming's two brothers were like two wolf cubs. Now they can still recall the scene of Ye Shun's ancestral house being burned.

Don't look at Ye Qiming's scholarly attire, even if he likes to study, he has a temper in his bones!
Ye Shun stood motionless by the side of the road, Zhou Yu asked, "We've already arrived at the gate of our hometown, why don't we go into the village and have a look?"

Ye Shun's family returned to their hometown in good condition. The little shopkeeper left the village in embarrassment. Today's Earl Ye, the eldest son has become an official, and the youngest son has entered the laboratory. Now he is a sixth-level researcher. Not only does he get a lot of salary every month, There are rewards for research and meritorious service, and Ye Shun and his wife live a very comfortable life.

Ye Shun's wife, Mrs. Zhang, did not come back with her, and Mrs. Zhang also wanted to return home to beat her parents-in-law. However, Geng Ningxi was pregnant, and the pregnancy of this child was not very good, which had something to do with Geng Ningxi's suffering.

Originally, Ye Qiming didn't want to come back, but Ye Shun couldn't live without a son. In the end, Mrs. Zhang stayed to take care of his daughter-in-law, and Ye Qiming followed his father back to his hometown.

When a group of people entered the village, the people in the village who were secretly watching were dumbfounded. They thought that the nobleman was just resting, so why did he enter the village?
Ye Shun's goal is clear. Recently, the people are all working the fields at home, and the village has the most complete staff. When Ye Shun stood at the gate of the ancestral house, Ye Shun's eyes became more complicated.

Back then, he was a hard-working but talkative man who paid a lot of money to his family. The life of his family was one of the best in the village. Now there are five dilapidated thatched huts, and a pile of rags piled up in the yard.

Yang Xi and his wife looked at the yard. There were still unpacked clothes in the yard. Some of the clothes were full of patches, and some of the clothes were torn without fabric patching. They looked at each other and turned to look at Ye Shun.

Ye Shun pushed open the simple wooden gate. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked into the yard. There was a noise in the thatched shed, and suddenly the door of a thatched shed was pushed open, and an old man stumbled out.

The old man stopped in front of Ye Shun, trembling his hands as if he couldn't believe it. The old man's cloudy eyes carefully recognized it, and finally wept, "My Shun, it's really Shun!"

The old man fell emotionally and sat on the ground, the doors of the grass shed were opened, and everyone came out.

Yang Xi and his wife counted the population, and there were 12 people including the old man. From the perspective of standing in line, they belonged to two families, but they didn't know whether it was Ye Shun's younger brother or elder brother's family.

Because his face is older than Ye Shun's, it can be seen how difficult it is to live in troubled times.

It took Ye Shun a while to come back to his senses. The spirited old father of the past is now so skinny that he seems to be buried in the ground at any time. He looked at these so-called relatives, but he didn't see the eccentric mother. Ye Shun felt sore and uncomfortable. He wanted to let the old lady Look, he is more promising than everyone else, and at the same time he is a little thankful that the old lady is gone, otherwise the old lady must have a bad temper.

Seeing that his son didn't care about him, the old man cried even more sadly, "Woo, where have you been all these years? Your father and I are suffering!"

The old man had only one central thought, and that was to follow Ye Shun. While crying, he looked at his son's clothes. He didn't know the material of the clothes, but he knew they must be expensive. Besides, there were even guards with knives, and Ye Shun became a nobleman.

Ye Qiming rolled his eyes frantically, "When the old house was burned down, you must have wanted to strangle my father to death."

Back then, their brothers were going to die of anger, their father earned the money for the house, and they dared to do anything with the fire in their hearts. Looking back on it now, they really dared to think and dare to do it. Fortunately, they only wanted to burn the house and didn't want to harm anyone. So the gong was struck in the village, waking up all the Ye family members.

Ye Shun gave his younger son a hard look, but he was relieved.

The old man had a heart attack. Ye's house was one of the best in the village back then. The roof he lived in was covered with tiles, but it was completely destroyed in a fire. He didn't know if it was his son or his two grandsons. strangle them!

Ye Shun's elder brother, Ye Qiang, still didn't dare to go forward. He bullied Ye Shun a lot in the past, but now he is so scared. His father is an elder and he is not afraid of revenge.

The neighbor also secretly came out to check on the situation. After knowing that it was Ye Shun who came back, the neighbor's eyes widened.

Ye Shun asked, "Why is the old lady gone?"

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth. This son really hated his parents. That's right, this son almost died back then.

Ye Qiang licked his dry lips, "Mother got into a fight with someone on the way to escape, so she didn't come up."

At that time, there were refugees fleeing everywhere, and they would be robbed if the food was exposed. My mother took out dry food because she felt sorry for her eldest grandson and was targeted. She fought with the robbed refugees at night. My mother was injured and sad that the food was gone. She held her breath and did not come up. went.

Ye Shun was silent, it was indeed something his mother could do, the old lady was sometimes surprisingly courageous, he glanced at his relatives again, the youngest brother was not there, and there were also a few nephews who had some impressions.

As for the girls of the Ye family, there are only a few young and ignorant ones, and the older ones are either sold or married.

Ye Shun didn't speak for a long time, and no one in the Ye family dared to say anything.

Ye Qiming took revenge, he glanced at the grandson of Ye's parents in the corner, this one survived, not only did he survive, but also his wife and children.

Yang Xi and his wife wanted to visit the village, they signaled to Ye Shun and took them away.

There are fifty or sixty families in the village. It is estimated that many people escaped and survived. There are also people who moved from Nanzhou in the village. The newly elected Li Zheng just took office not long ago.

Now Lizheng is mainly based on the votes of the people, who are first elected by the people, and then take office after being assessed by the government. Lizheng not only has a salary but also benefits.

Originally, Lizheng was very popular. In the past, it was dominated by the family in the village, but now it is no longer possible, because the government has to assess, plus salary and benefits, as long as there is some ability, they want to compete.

After Yang Xi and his wife inquired about Li Zheng, Zhou Yu also carefully asked what was assessed. Literacy and numeracy are the foundation, and the most important assessment is the legal code. A village must understand the law.

When Yang Xi and his wife returned to the carriage, Yang Xi was in a good mood, "The method of popularizing the law is good."

Lizhengs are changed every three years, and one person can serve up to two consecutive terms. This means that as long as you work hard, you will have a chance. If you study the legal code with a brain in the village, you will drive your family and villagers.

Zhou Yu, "The north is building very quickly along the way."

If you want to build, you need to build roads. Now all the northern states are building roads. This time, the road back to the north is much more comfortable.

When the two returned to the carriage, Ye Shun and Ye Qiming had already returned.

Seeing that Ye Shun's expression was fine, Zhou Yu said, "Is it over?"

Ye Shun rubbed his stiff face, "We need to stay in the county for a day, and I want to worship our ancestors."

Although he was disappointed with his hometown, his ancestors must pay homage to him. He believed that his ancestors had blessed him.

Ye Qiming glanced at his father's purse, and the money in his father's purse was given to several elderly elders of the Ye family, and the money was used to repair the ancestral grave.

Ye Qiming looked at the people at the entrance of the village. His uncle and grandfather were both at the entrance of the village. They dared not go forward. Ye Qiming's eyes were sarcastic. People who are poor and have nothing, they will overcome their fear and entangle them.

The carriage was heading towards the county seat. Yang Xi looked at the neatly tidied fields, and she thought about Geng Liao: "Qin Bing and his wife will go back to Bozhou first, and I don't know what happened to them."

Zhou Yu wasn't worried about the safety of Geng Liao and his wife, "I'm worried that Qin Bing won't be able to bear the illness."

The couple heaved a long sigh. Ye Shun was returning home to face his relatives, while Qin Bing and his wife faced their ancestral graves being dug up and their family property destroyed.
