Parents are busy farming

I don't know why since Liu Zhubo said this, the atmosphere in the whole room has become much more relaxed.

Liu Zhubo has been in charge of taxation in the county. He finally waited for the wheat to mature, especially this year, he has been nervous about coming.

Finally waiting for this moment without any danger, while he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not dare to take it lightly.

The corners of Ye Zifen's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Liu Dianshi looked at this and that, and quickly took over the conversation to save Master Liu from embarrassment.

He said: "Yes, this can give us sufficient preparation time. As the adults said, we also need to ask the adults at the Ministry of Industry for advice on how to build the reservoir. We can use this time to ask for guidance on the problem."

Thanks to Liu Dianshi's rescue, everyone suppressed their laughter.

Zi Zifen also straightened his expression and suggested: "It's best to draw a drawing or something, so that we have a clear direction. In the future, everyone will be more clear when constructing, so as not to waste time. It just so happens that those in the Ministry of Works are very interested in this He is very well researched and should be able to draw it.”

On paper, the people in the Ministry of Industry still have no problem, not to mention that there are precedents for this and they don't need to use their own brains.

Magistrate Su's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "We have supported those people from the Ministry of Industry for such a long time, and they refuse to leave. They have to teach us something. Otherwise, I feel that we should give them We’ve lost food. Don’t worry, I’ll make them spit out the blueprint.”

Speaking of this, Magistrate Su became very angry. Ever since people from the Ministry of Industry came here to learn how to make windmills, they have stayed in their county.

They ate and drank for free, and continued to find faults all day long. Finally, Magistrate Su lost his temper and spoke directly so that they would not wander around in the county government office, but they still did not go back.

Ye Zifen could hear the gnashing of teeth and frustration from Magistrate Su’s tone just now.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Zhi Zifen looked up and saw that the housekeeper from the back office came in with a few boys and a food box.

After coming in, the housekeeper first bowed his hand to Magistrate Su, and then reported: "When the old lady saw that you hadn't gone back, she sent someone to the front to ask, knowing that you and Miss Ye are here to discuss important matters. Then he ordered the kitchen to prepare meals.”

Only then did Magistrate Su look up outside and found that it was already dark. He didn't realize that time passed so fast.

"Oh, it's really late. Since the housekeeper has brought the food, let's make do with eating here to satisfy our stomachs first!"

The adults nodded, and the boys cleared the table and put the food on the table.

The housekeeper came directly to Ye Zifen's side.

"Miss, the old lady has sent a message, asking you to go to the back to have a meal with the old lady. She said that after the meal, the servant will take you back."

Ye Zifen smiled. Magistrate Su came over and said to Ye Zifen, "Mother is waiting for you. Go quickly and come back after dinner to continue the discussion."

Ye Zifen nodded and followed the steward to the back office.

It's just that this time they did not go around to the main gate of the back office, but entered the back office directly from the side door of the government office.

This was the first time Zi Zifen walked this way, and she was speechless all the way until the housekeeper sent Zi Zifen to the door of the old lady's courtyard.

Then he bowed his body and said to Ye Zifen: "Miss, you are familiar with this place, so I won't send you in. After dinner, you can find a girl to come over and deliver the message to me, and I will take you back to the front!" "

Ye Zifen nodded and said "Thank you".

After the housekeeper left, Zifen walked towards the yard.

A little maid stood at the door of the house, constantly looking towards Zi Zifen. Zi Zifen recognized her as the big girl in front of Mrs. Su.

Until she saw Ye Zifen's figure, she hurriedly reported inside.

When Zi Zifen walked to the door, the maid came out again to open the curtain for Zi Zifen.

"Miss, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you haven't been in the county. The old lady misses you very much!"

Ye Zifen nodded, walked into the house, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister. I haven't been out in the county recently, so I didn't come over to invite my godmother. How is my godmother's health lately?"

As soon as Ye Zifen finished asking, a smiling voice came from the side room.

"Ask her what she's doing, don't you know if you come in and see her yourself?"

A smile appeared on Zi Zifen's face, and her pace quickened a bit. She opened the door curtain and saw Mrs. Su sitting at the dining table.

"Godmother" Ye Zifen shouted crisply, her tone full of longing and joy.

Mrs. Su pretended to be angry and said with a cold face: "You girl don't want to go home as soon as you go out. I miss you very much, but every time I go to inquire about you, you say you haven't come back."

Ye Zifen quickly apologized: "I'm sorry! Godmother!"

Mrs. Su immediately said: "I also know that you are a filial child and will definitely come to see me when you come back, but I just can't help but want to know how you are doing!"

Ye Zifen has arrived at Mrs. Su's side. After bowing to Mrs. Su, she pricked her arm and sat next to her.

"I know my godmother is worried about me. Don't worry. I've always been fine. But lately I've been worried about you too, afraid that you'll be tired. Good things are coming soon for the county magistrate, and you must be busy with a lot of things. I'm still worried about you. I thought I would come over and help you after the autumn harvest is over!"

A few words from Zi Zifen made Madam Su very happy.

She reached out and patted it, grabbing the tender hand on her arm.

"Well, you girl is also considerate, but you have too many things to do, so you are so busy every day that you can't see anyone. It's best if you can help me. You are attentive, and I feel more worry-free with your help. .”

Finally, his eyes fell on the empty table. Thinking that Ye Zifen had not eaten yet, he quickly called the maid behind him.

"What are you guys doing here in a daze? Hurry up and serve food. We, the two of us, were talking while eating. Zifen has been discussing this matter for a long time. She must be hungry. She is still growing, so we can't delay eating. .”

Before the words were finished, the maids started to get busy. Some were carrying hand water, some were carrying mouthwash, and some were carrying food boxes...

Mrs. Su sighed softly, and then talked about Magistrate Su's marriage.

"My son's marriage should really be taken seriously this time. The last time I wasn't around, my wife got married directly in the capital. If it's not perfect, it's not perfect. That's why we encountered such a thing that doesn't distinguish between four and six. I feel guilty!"

Ye Zifen supported the old lady's back, and the old lady patted Ye Zifen's hand to indicate that she was fine.
