Chapter 53
"Our family is a bit tired from the busy farming, and men usually do the heavy work. However, we raise some livestock and chickens, and we have a vegetable garden to take care of,"

"Xueniang is new here, no matter what the wife teaches, I can do all kinds of work, and I am very strong."

Afraid of being rejected, she eagerly promised,

"Don't call me your wife anymore. We are from the peasant household. According to our age, please call me auntie."

Ye Xing also smiled and said:
"Just listen to my mother, so that everyone can feel at ease. This is my uncle and my third aunt. You can call me after me."

"Hey, Yingzi is back? Go to your Zhuangzi to have a look. I haven't been there for a few days, and the land is all plowed,"

The person who came was an uncle. His land was next to the Ye family village. Even the uncle and the others didn't know about it. They wanted to plow here and go there together.

Everyone went to Zhuangzi together. Looking from a distance, a large piece of land had been dug up with new soil. It was dark, and the ridges and ridges were very regular. It was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it. Ye Xing took a closer look at the ridges. The footprints are very messy, these jobs are group work.

"Zhuangzi is located in a remote place. Usually, few people come here, and they are all busy recently. It is normal that no one sees it. This work does not seem to be done in a day,"

After hearing her daughter's words, Ye Ying was quite surprised. What she did for a few days was also done by people. Who is so good?

"Since we have plowed, let's sow seeds as soon as possible, don't be blinded by others' kindness,"

Who else?It must be Luo, only he can mobilize so many people without anyone noticing.

In the process of sowing seeds, Xiaoqing once again amazed everyone. He raised his big hand, and the seeds seemed to have eyes, and they fell steadily to the place where they should go. He was fast and accurate. He almost finished the [-]-acre field by himself. Half, even better than the old farmer.

Only Ye Xing knew that this was using a spell, and raising his hand was just a trick to cover his eyes. How can a person who has become a genius be inferior to a mortal?
After the spring plowing, the conscription order came as promised, along with the grandfather's death certificate, a symbolic one tael of silver, and a pension for one life. With this certificate, it meant that the Ye family would have to draw money again.

"One will be drawn for every three adults. Our family must go to one. I am the eldest, and the child is also grown. It is the most suitable one. You take care of your mother, and also take care of the heavy work in my field."

The uncle was the first to express his opinion, and the uncle's mother cried all of a sudden, very loudly,

"Brother, you are the eldest son of our family, and the third child has a heavy burden. It is most suitable for me to go. With Xing'er around, there is nothing to worry about."

Well, he is open-minded. Although Mrs. Bai was feeling uncomfortable, she didn't want to embarrass her husband, so she just lowered her head and wiped her eyes.

The third uncle jumped up directly, saying that he was young and strong, and for a while the three brothers quarreled into a pot of porridge, all vying to go by himself.

Grassing the one or two pieces of silver, Mrs. Ye seemed to have entered another time and space, and sat there blankly without saying a word.

This time the conscription is going directly to the battlefield, and it is stated that silver taels are not allowed to replace it. Ye Xing looked at the three elders. They are all standard farmers. Except for farming, they don't know how to use knives and guns at all.

"Let's draw lots. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. Since our family has to leave one, let God decide."

Finally, the grandmother said the most painful words in a hoarse voice. Her husband was gone, and she was about to lose a son.

The three balls of paper were written by Ye Zhen, and Ye Xing did not cheat, although it was easy for her.

"Haha, God chose me, take good care of your mother,"

Ye Ying stood up happily. Her family had no worries about food and clothing, and her daughter was capable. He was still discussing sending his son to school last night, so he had nothing to worry about.

"Father, since we can't escape, we have to find a way to survive. Xiaoqing is good at martial arts. From tonight, let him teach you marksmanship and riding."

There is no schoolyard at home, so she directly leveled the backyard and compacted it with stone rollers. As for growing vegetables, that is another story.

Big brother Ye Wei also came to practice together,

"I decided not to go to the school. During this period of time, I have learned a lot of characters, and I will continue to learn in the future. Zhen'er can teach me,"

Also, if you don't take the imperial examination, knowing a few hundred commonly used characters is enough.

Xiaoqing's training did not follow the usual path, it was too late to lay the foundation, it could only be counterproductive, Ye Xing replaced all the water in the house with spiritual springs,
"The old man can't practice like this. He has strength, but his speed and flexibility are obviously poor. He can't use many moves, especially the dodge is not fast enough. If it is a real battle, it will be difficult to avoid the moves."

"Do you have a good idea?"

She is also a rookie in this aspect, Xiaoqing thought about it and came up with a way,
"Give him the second line of governor?"

"What is the general method? Will it be painful?"

In her memory, people are soaked in a large wooden barrel, steamed and boiled, and then used internal force to pass.

Xiaoqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing what she said, what is the solution?It's even steamed and boiled, not soup!

"Knock it out and take it back, it's such an easy thing."

The result was really simple, he took his father to his own cave, and sent it out a day later, the whole person was different, as he said, after taking a nap, his bones became lighter.

Because of the time difference, it was an hour outside.

"Uncle, when you meditate, breathe out according to the method I taught, and your body will be lighter,"

Seeing his rapid progress, Ye Xing finally let go of his heart and took his younger brother to the town. Finding a school is a top priority, and wandering around at home every day is not a problem.

There are two goals this time, one is the Huaide private school, the master is a scholar, the imperial examination went all the way, but he failed to pass the exam, so he decided to open a private school to teach some immature children, Ye Zhen's age is very suitable.

There is another one who returned to his hometown. He used to work in the Yamen, but because he was impatient with the complicated officialdom, he returned to his hometown. It is said that his knowledge is very good, and he was a scholar in his class last year.

Liu Gen also went with her. She told the third uncle that the two children were companions, and she left Shuxiu.

Unexpectedly, when I just entered the city, I ran into Liu Yazi head-on, and I asked him to find a house a while ago.
"Miss Ye, what a coincidence, I'm looking for someone to send you a message that An's family is going to the capital, and the house and shop will be sold."

settle down?Ye Xing didn't react for a while, Liu Yazi hurriedly said,

"It's Anji Dim Sum Shop. His house is in the back street. Although there is only one entrance, there are seven or eight rooms,"

Ye Xing thought about it, the location of the shop is very good, in the middle of South Street, the size of the house is also suitable for her.

"Go and see,"

Yazi led them directly to the door. The owner of the house was very happy. It turned out that the son had made a fortune in the capital and wanted to take his parents to enjoy the blessings. The old man said,
"We're in a hurry. If we can get both places at once, the price is negotiable."

Ye Xing didn't hesitate, he bargained over the price, and paid the banknote directly. Because the road was far away, they only brought soft things, and kept the furniture and the counter of the shop.
