Hearing this, Ye Shi said with emotion: "Yes, if it was before, we could have said something, or helped." It's just that now, I don't know what to say, what to say. Fortunately, he was very foresightful before and bought a lot. There is really something that can live well on your own. ”

Thinking about it now, Ye Feng was so obsessed with buying land at that time, maybe he had already made plans for his future. Fortunately, although they were a little opposed at the time, they did not stop it.

Qianyan and Qianyu have become big girls, especially Qianyu, who naturally knows what Ye's means. A child who has no mother, her experience is very profound.

Hopefully, I hope Ye Feng can live well.

This night, everyone's mood was a little lost.

The family tracing conference is still going on, but as time goes on, the chances of finding relatives are getting smaller and smaller, and those who have found their relatives are gradually starting to return.

The good news is that the fewer people there are, the less busy the volunteers are.

It's been a long time, and everyone is really tired. From the preparation of the family search conference to every detail, the volunteers have personally found relatives for many families who have come from afar and realized their dream of reunion.

And they themselves don't even have time to rest.

Bai Zhixian and the officials had already returned to the city, but they left behind their right-hand man, and handed back the status and information of the search for their relatives every day. According to what Ye Feng said, these days, he has to work hard to conceive an excerpt.

The content of this excerpt is naturally to first explain the results of this family search conference, and then briefly mention the existing shortcomings. The key point is to put forward how to better protect the interests of babies, how to deter Hanako crimes, etc., which can be said to be equivalent to the work report of Baizhi County before his promotion.

In this regard, Bai Zhixian is naturally very concerned, not so much a work report, but rather a disguised merit excerpt, the data must be true, and the words cannot be said nonsense, let alone explicit.

Strangely, there are fewer and fewer people looking for relatives, but the number of tourists is increasing.

According to the statistics of Chen Jifa and Fan Jifei, those who came early have not left, or those who have just come from afar in the past two days are preparing to participate in the "First Changsheng Fruit Food Festival in Chenjia Village".

Since this year's longevity fruit is no longer planted uniformly by the village, but planted by each household according to their actual situation, coupled with Ye Feng's publicity, the ripening time of the longevity fruit of each household is basically different.

And the earliest batch is these two days.

This is also the result of the deliberate actions of the village. Anyway, the different ripening times of the long-lived fruits can maximize the retention and attraction of tourists. Too much time to mature is not a good thing.

On this day, the gongs and drums of the whole Chenjia Village were noisy, the lion dance, the singing of songs, the firecrackers of firecrackers, after all this was over, Chen Jifa was full of red light and radiant stepped forward and announced loudly: "Let you wait for a long time, now I announce that the first Changsheng Fruit Food Festival in Chenjia Village has officially begun." ”

Then, the tourists began to integrate into the shopping street.

By the way, according to Ye Feng's suggestion, these two streets at the entrance of the village have been officially named "Commercial Street". In this way, it is also convenient for everyone to publicize and remember, unlike before, when I always said the street at the entrance of the village.

Those who grow early-maturing long-growing fruits at home have picked them yesterday, washed them, and made them into delicacies overnight, and now they are placed on makeshift stalls in the shopping street, waiting for tourists to choose.

Since it is fresh, there are boiled, marinated, and pureed, and there are also washed without any treatment, depending on the taste of each tourist.

Of course, there are some shops that are very thieves, and I don't know where they know that the longevity fruit can be made into noodles, so they launched the "longevity fruit noodles" in due course, that is, the fresh longevity fruit is chopped, fried with various colors of ingredients plus minced meat, diced vegetables, etc., and then boiled with water, and put in the pulled dough sheets.

Because it is made to order, you can temporarily add or remove materials according to the preferences of customers, such as adding an omelette or poached egg or even braised egg, etc., and the business is very good for a while, and the stall is surrounded by greedy customers.

In the past, the tourists bought and ate last year's longevity fruit, which was dried, but now they eat it fresh, and they feel that it is the same delicious, and there is a little more sweetness. Many people thought about their relatives at home, and bought some of them, ready to take them back so that they could also taste the delicacies of this world.

Of course, the most popular activity is the activity of tourists picking the long fruit in person. Visitors only need to apply for the longevity fruit to be planted at home, and after changing their clothes, they will be taken by the host family to their own fields to pick the longevity fruit by themselves.

Most of the people who participated in this activity were urban residents or wealthy families who had never worked in the fields. They changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes that the peasants had prepared long ago, took their hoes, went down to the ground in a decent manner, and began to dig for long-lived fruits.

During this period, they were surprised by the fact that the long-lived fruit grows in the ground, and also experienced the difficulty of the majority of farmers, and of course, more happiness. Even if they ended up covered in mud or their shoes dirty, no one shouted that they were tired and dirty, but enjoyed it.

Some of them are scholars themselves, or they are well-known in the local area. After he returned, he wrote his experiences into poems and what he saw and heard, which set off a wave of reading and working in the fields.

Especially under the strong recommendation of local officials, it also reached the ears of the imperial court. This made the emperor very surprised, and felt that this was the style that should be vigorously promoted.

Now, the wind of extravagance is gradually rising in the country, and many people are ashamed of their labor and only like vassal elegance. Doing nothing all day, but in turn despising those who work hard. In this regard, His Majesty the Emperor has spoken to stop it, but it has no effect.

After all, you can't interfere with people's lives, you have to go to the city to farm.

Now, however, there are scholars who have personally sung the praises of working in the fields, mentioned the hardships of the peasant households, and said that it was a virtue. Some people even say, "Who knows that Chinese food is hard work."

The Emperor listened, this was the voluntary behavior and result of the group of noble scholars, and it was much better than him forcing people to admit it.

And these people just went to Chenjia Village and participated in a game. As a result, Bai Zhi County soon received a commendation from His Majesty the Emperor, who asked him to announce that no matter which official took office in the future, Chenjia Village's commercial activities would never be taxed.

Receiving the emperor's handwritten letter of praise, Bai Zhixian almost jumped up, to say that Ye Feng's kid is really powerful, but in order to make money, somehow he bought that group of scholars, and greatly praised the hard work and difficulty of farming, but now it's good, even the emperor praised it.

The villagers of Chenjia Village, especially those merchants, were also extremely excited when they heard the news. Because they know in their hearts that Chenjiacun earns so much, sooner or later they will be targeted by the imperial court and let them pay taxes.

I haven't paid it now, but it's because Bai Zhi County is here, and everyone knows that Bai Zhi County is about to be promoted.

The next officeholder, whoever it may be, will be attracted to this wealth.

However, now that there is a letter of praise from His Majesty the Emperor, as well as Chrysostom's words, who dares to violate it?

Even happier than the villagers are the merchants in the shopping streets.

Although there is a tax to be paid here, it is not much, only one-fifth of that in the city. And now that there is a royal message from His Majesty the Emperor, I think the tax rate has been set in this way. This sum of silver alone is enough to be the envy of other places.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor also had his own considerations. While it is true that Chenjiacun's approach is conducive to the implementation of his idea of focusing on the development of agriculture, he has a larger goal, which is to develop Chenjiacun into "the first village in the world".

When the time comes, he will visit Chenjia Village and personally give Chenjia Village its name. He also wants those who question him to see what is a peaceful and prosperous world, and what is a prosperous atmosphere.

If you want to say how many generations this royal family has passed on, why didn't there be such a weather before, but it appeared in his generation?

This shows that he is the Son of Heaven and the best candidate to inherit from heaven.

If taxes are collected, the prosperity of Chenjia Village will naturally be reduced, which is not conducive to publicity at all. He thinks further, that is, when the operation mode of Chenjiacun matures, he wants to promote this model throughout the country.

Strictly speaking, Chenjiacun's development is nothing more than relying on the fruit of longevity. And in other places, although there are no longevity fruits, there will also be other specialties. In this way, the essence is the same, the same opportunity.

In addition to tourists personally picking longevity fruits, after receiving praise from His Majesty the Emperor, Ye Feng developed another activity called "Turning Longevity Fruit Competition". Now a lot of land has been turned, but the longevity fruit in the field is still there, so after everyone pays dozens of dollars, they can turn over the ground at will, no matter how much, it will belong to tourists.

Picking the fruit yourself is popular, but it requires money and strength, after all, you have to buy it if you pick it. But this turning the ground is different, it all depends on your own strength, anyway, how much you turn is your own.

As a result, this event once again attracted the attention of tourists, and they paid money to participate. And the main family is even more happy and leisurely, not only do you not have to pick the longevity fruit yourself, but now it is good, even the ground has been turned over, and the only thing you need to do is to wait for the cashier.

The families who gave away the longevity fruit and sold it out last year were a little prosperous at first, but soon, they also had other ways to make money, that is, selling fruits, chickens, ducks and fish.

Some families who bought grafted fruit trees from Chen Wumei and Ye Feng in the early years even counted the silver until their hands cramped. I don't know what those plums have gone through, but after a simple grafting, they become big, sweet and beautiful, and naturally they don't worry about selling.

And all this was recorded by the information officer left by Baizhi County, and when the tourists were almost gone, and the villagers of Chenjia Village were repairing, he could write his own work report. The informant knew in his heart that the more detailed the information he collected here, the more Bai Zhixian would be able to write an excellent report.

And the better the position of Bai Zhi County's promotion, he will follow suit. Speaking of which, they have also done a lot of things with Bai Zhi County.

Bai Zhixian was busy here, but Ye Feng was a little embarrassed.

Because the family search conference can be said to be coming to an end, and the shopkeeper Ye personally drove to pick up Ye Feng on this day, so Ye Feng had to follow him obediently and prepared to go into the city to recognize his relatives.

He couldn't put it off any longer.

Speaking of which, this was originally a happy thing, and it was also Ye Feng's goal for so many years. But I don't know why, Ye Feng just felt awkward. Without him, his own mother is gone, except for his grandparents, what else is there to recognize.

is like Yao Wushuang, but they just hate each other. It is better to stay away from it like this, and to come freely to each one.

In the car, seeing that Ye Feng seemed a little cramped, the shopkeeper Ye stroked his back and said, "My son, you don't have to be afraid. Speaking of which, there is no one else in the family, just your grandparents, and your second uncle and aunt, all of whom are their own people. They miss you too, so they get up early in the morning, clean up, do the cooking, and just wait for you to go back. ”

Ye Feng said in his heart, I don't know, but there is another Erniang you didn't say. Last time, she didn't dare to compliment her attitude, but he saw Ye's expression. Moreover, she has been diagnosed and is indeed pregnant.

Therefore, now it is in the status of a national treasure at home, and no one dares to mess with it.

"As for your second mother, she is also a kind-hearted person, and she repeatedly proposed to me yesterday that she wanted you to move back to live, and she also vacated the room for you early, saying that it was inconvenient to do anything in the village."

He's a ...... dad Ye Feng didn't know what to say. As far as he knew, the house, including all the furniture, was purchased by Yao Wushuang with money, and his father got married, just a person.

It's okay for grandparents, they are also Yao Wushuang's father-in-law and mother-in-law, Yao Wushuang has to accept it no matter how unwilling he is. Moreover, the old man has a house in the countryside, so if he is not used to living there, he can just go back.

But what is he?

If this house was the Ye family's old mansion, or if it was private property, he could live in it with a swagger. But now, this house is owned by Yao Wushuang, and I don't know where the deed is.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng said slowly: "Dad, I think so, I bought land in the village a few years ago, and I plan to start looking for someone to build a house in a few days." As for the city, I'll still come back, come back and stay a few days a month, do you think it's okay? After all, now that Erniang is pregnant, she needs to recuperate. And, and I had a great time in the village......"

I don't know what I think in my heart, Shopkeeper Ye hesitated for a while, and then agreed: "That's okay, the village is not far from the city, and it's convenient to go back and forth." ”

In fact, judging from Ye Feng's expression, he observed that he was afraid and resistant. After thinking about it, he and Yao Wushuang are about to have a child, and it is estimated that they will have little time to take care of him.

The carriage soon drove into the city. Accustomed to seeing the cleanliness and tidiness of Chenjia Village, when he arrived in the city, he saw the garbage everywhere and the untidy street layout, in contrast, Ye Feng felt more and more that Chenjia Village was better.

After a few more moments, the carriage pulled into a relatively quiet place, and then stopped. Then, the driver respectfully walked to the curtain, lifted the curtain and put the pedals and asked Ye Feng and the others to get out of the car.

With this respectful attitude, it looked like Yao Wushuang brought it out from home. It's just well-trained, and if someone else is replaced, where will this be?

But the more this is the case, the more Ye Feng doesn't like it.

This house is located in the center of the city, quiet in the middle of the city, and Yao Wushuang spent a lot of money to come. Now he knows the prices in the city, after all, he has built a lot of infrastructure during this time. It's his father, who thinks he is the shopkeeper, so he shouldn't know it.

Reading people or something, hey, don't eat the fireworks of the world.

Holding the hand of the shopkeeper Ye, Ye Feng took a deep breath, and then followed him in. He came to this plane for the greatest purpose to find a home. Now that I have found my home, although it is not as I imagined, it is always my roots.

Therefore, no matter how his family treats him, he will cherish it.

As for Yao Wushuang, the second mother, he just let it go.

This is a two-entrance courtyard, through the wall, through the verandah, to the main hall. The first thing Ye Feng saw was the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" hanging in the middle of the hall, as well as the ancestral tablets.

Then, it was his relatives who sat on either side.

Seeing Ye Feng come in, the two old men did not sit solemnly at all, but both stood up, took the initiative to step forward, took Ye Feng's hand, and suddenly turned red, looked at it for a long time, and said half-loudly: "Okay, good, it's a good grandson of my Ye family." ”

Mrs. Ye held Ye Feng's hand even more, asking this and that, Ye Feng knew that she couldn't sell miserably on this occasion, so she picked something nice to say, and sure enough, the second elder of the Ye family was a little happier.

Old Mrs. Ye pulled Ye Feng and pointed at her second son and daughter-in-law and said, "This is your second uncle, this is your second aunt, this is your little niece, there is no big name yet, you just call her a big girl." ”

After talking about it and introducing it for a while, he didn't see Yao Wushuang, Ye Feng thought to himself, his second mother is really interesting. On such an occasion, if there is really a heart to welcome him back, it will not be like this.

The Ye family was pregnant with twins at the beginning, and they were not as expensive as her.

Sure enough, after introducing everyone, Mrs. Ye said: "Your second mother is not feeling well, she vomited like something when she got up in the morning, and now she is resting inside, because the doctor let her recuperate, so she didn't come out." ”

Okay, that's okay, just don't see each other anyway, Ye Feng thought so in his heart, but what he said was: "Yes, my sister said that Erniang has a little brother, so she should have a good rest." ”

When Mrs. Ye heard this, her impression of the Ye family was a little better, just because of the three words "little brother". She heard that Ye Feng had lived in Ye's house all these years, and Ye himself gave birth to twin sons, which showed that he was blessed.

Ye Feng followed them, thinking about how much he could get some blessings.

Next, the second elder of the Ye family pulled Ye Feng to worship the ancestors solemnly. When Ye Feng personally lit the incense, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, which was a real sense of belonging.

Although he was a complete materialist, when he faced the pious gaze of the second elder of the Ye family and the burning incense and prayer, the feeling in his heart was very indescribable. In the end, these rituals made him feel that he had roots, relied on, and understood where he came from in this plane for the first time.

Ye Feng's second uncle looked like an honest man, he just smiled at Ye Feng for so long, but he didn't speak. It's just that his second aunt has some skills and can speak well, and she can make their care and concern clear.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng had an idea and asked, "Second aunt, what are you and the second uncle doing now?" "If you don't do anything, and just lie in this house that is not spacious, then it is called beautiful.

With Yao Wushuang's temperament, plus his second aunt, it is difficult not to fight.

And this Wu didn't disappoint Ye Feng, and when he heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "Hey, little uncle, I'm not afraid to say it to you." Your second uncle and I originally wanted to go back to the countryside to stay, and it was good to work all kinds of land, but your niece is not in good health and is often sick, so it is more convenient to live here and see the doctor. And my body also needs to be recuperated, so that I can give birth to a son for your second uncle as soon as possible. ”

Ye Feng understood her words in an instant, no wonder Yao Wushuang hadn't shown up until now, I guess he was angry. People get married with a bride price, but she is good, not to mention losing a big house, and now she has to support the other party's family.

It's okay, it's the flesh and blood of the family. However, it's good now, the shopkeeper Ye is even going to come back with the child born by Ye Feng's ex-wife, and no one will be calm if he changes.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said sincerely: "I bought some land in Chenjia Village, if my aunt and uncle are willing, they can go over and plant it." ”

He really wants to help his second uncle's family, after all, if he is doing well, his grandparents will be happy. Anyway, he is running a farmhouse now, but he doesn't have that much energy to manage it.

And if they are diligent, and he does not collect rent, they will plant as much as they want. In the current situation of Chenjia Village, no matter how it can be lived.

Anyway, it's better than now, living here and doing nothing, and relying on Shopkeeper Ye alone for food and clothing, it's really a bit inappropriate.

Who knows, his second aunt is a lazy person, and she may have understood Ye Feng's intentions, but she is unwilling to go to Chenjia Village to farm.

In her opinion, she now has some food, clothing, and the quality is not bad, why should she go to the countryside to farm? You must know that when she married the second son of the Ye family, it was because the Ye shopkeeper was in the city and could help him. Now, she finally entered the city on the grounds that her daughter was sick, and she was unwilling to go back.

It is true that if you are used to seeing prosperity and enjoying comfort, how can you be willing to go back to the hard days of the past?

So, his second aunt said directly: "Thank you, uncle, for your understanding." I would like to go, but where is it convenient in Chenjia Village? And, mother, I also showed myself by the way when I saw the eldest girl yesterday, and the doctor said that my body has been healed, and it is not suitable to travel long distances, and there will be good news after a period of rest. ”

Hearing this, the second elder of the Ye family was very happy, Ye was the shopkeeper who had nothing to do, but Ye Feng understood that his second aunt was not going to leave here.

At lunchtime, Yao Wushuang came out in the end, but he was supported by a maid on one side, and he still supported his waist with his hands, which seemed to be very hard. But Ye Feng knows that it is only two months, so he will not be so exaggerated.

Speaking of which, the baby in the belly is estimated to be the size of an egg.

However, Ye Feng originally came with a peaceful mentality, if she wants to act, then act, anyway, with her second aunt accompanying her, she won't be lonely in the future.

In this way, the meal was thrilling and dangerous, and with Wu's gags, it was also enjoyable. They are a small family, and they are used to talking during meals, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that Yao Wushuang, who came from a wealthy family, didn't say a word.

In the evening, the second elder of the Ye family naturally pulled Ye Feng to ask long and short questions, and Ye Feng answered them one by one. Thinking that he was sluggish and hadn't taken out the gift at night, Ye Feng patted his head and hurriedly took out the gift.

Although it stands to reason that someone from this family should give Ye Feng a gift, since it is a family, why should it be so clear?
