Parents are busy farming

According to rumors, the people responsible for transporting food and grass this time were the current Holy Guards. Even the Imperial Guards responsible for protecting their own safety were dispatched, which shows the emperor's anger and the importance he attached to this matter.

The corners of Magistrate Su's mouth raised slightly, and he knew clearly in his heart that Wu Yatou turned out to be a hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zifen, who had just walked away, turned around and came back. He secretly screamed something bad and quickly suppressed the smile on his lips.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Magistrate Su quickly stepped forward and asked.

I saw Ye Zifen's face sinking like water, and she asked: "You just said that this battle was not lost. What is the reason?"

Since the beginning of the border war, although no city has been lost, the continuous flow of soldiers to the front line is enough to prove that Daxia's military strength is lacking.

Not only did we not lose this time, we did so under such harsh weather conditions.

Although the Hu people did not have abundant food and grass, the fur on their bodies was very warm. Comparing the two sides, it is puzzling that Daxia could remain undefeated.

Magistrate Su answered truthfully: "I don't know the reason for this. I only heard that a new vanguard force was formed in the border area. I heard that the soldiers in the whole team are all very skilled, and there is even a vanguard with great military ability." The official was in charge. It was this vanguard that repelled the invading barbarians.

"Zi Zifen turned around and left after hearing this, without saying a word the whole time.

After his figure completely disappeared, Magistrate Su let out a long sigh of relief.

He thought that Wu Yatou came here to visit her mother, and her mother must be waiting for her return at home.

To avoid worrying his mother, Magistrate Su decided to return home first to inform him of the matter.

As for the fifth girl, looking at how busy she is, I'm afraid she won't be able to get away for a while!

Zi Zifen had just walked out of the county government gate and saw Li Daniu waiting outside the door.

She thought to herself that the Luo Ke man must have sent a message to her man, asking Li Daniu to wait for her here.

In this way, he saved himself the trouble of another trip to Zhuangzi, and Ye Zi Fenton felt much more relaxed.

As soon as he saw Ye Zifen coming out, Li Daniu immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss Fifth, does our Zhuangzi need to rearrange the next work?"

Ye Zifen nodded, and then told Li Daniu: "Prepare ten thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes, with linen as the outer layer and cotton as the inner layer. In addition, take out the cotton we have stored. We must let the girls put it in within three days." The cotton coat is finished.”

When Li Daniu heard what Ye Zifen said, his eyes widened and he said with astonishment: "Miss, are three days too tight?"

Ye Zifen did not get angry, but whispered softly: "Let them divide the work and cooperate. One person is responsible for cutting the fabric, two are responsible for filling the cotton, and three are responsible for sewing. In this way, the speed will naturally increase. In addition, remember It will take a lot of hard work for everyone to prepare meals for them, but they will be rewarded during the New Year."

When Li Daniu heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he began to think rapidly about who else he could ask for help.

After all, if the production of these cotton-padded clothes cannot be completed within three days, the consequences will be quite serious!

So, he racked his brains to think about various possibilities, trying to find more people who could help.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind - the women in the sharecroppers' homes!

It's winter now, so they don't have much busy farm work to deal with, and most of them can make clothes.

If you invite them to help, you only need to pay a certain amount of wages and provide a meal.

In this way, it will not only speed up the progress of making cotton-padded clothes, but also reduce everyone's burden.

Thinking of this, Li Daniu no longer hesitated and said quickly: "Great! I will go back immediately to arrange relevant matters. However, Miss, you must also be aware of it! Once the production of this cotton-padded coat is completed, we will have no more cotton on hand. There’s not much left. It’s best to plan ahead for your future arrangements.”

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and responded: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in my heart."

After Li Daniu turned around and left, Ye Zifen decided to see Mrs. Su.

Thinking while walking.

She planned to let the third sister plant cotton, wait until the cotton was harvested, and then plant cabbage immediately, so that the two would not delay each other.

Besides, the third sister originally wanted to pickle sauerkraut, so it would be better to let her plant an extra season of cotton in her own field, which would increase her income without affecting other affairs.

Magistrate Su had just stepped into Mrs. Su's yard. Before he could take a breath, he heard Mrs. Su's series of questions: "Why are you back? Didn't you say you have something to do with Zifen? Is that done? What about Xiao Wu?" Woolen cloth?"

He didn't even have time to answer, Mrs. Su's questions came at her like a barrage, and every question was related to Ye Zifen.

It can be seen that in the eyes and heart of the old lady, Zi Zifen's status is already extraordinary.

Faced with such an urgent inquiry, Magistrate Su could only reply with a wry smile: "The matter has been dealt with, but Zifen has gone to arrange other matters, and I don't know when he will return. I came back specifically to inform you, please don't be anxious. "

However, before he finished speaking, a girl hurried in and reported: "Old madam, the fifth lady is here."

When Mrs. Su heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly urged: "Then let Zifen come in quickly!"

When the girl went out to deliver the message, Mrs. Su gave Magistrate Su an angry and funny look.

That look clearly said: "I just said that Zifen didn't know when she would come back. She didn't let me wait. How could I have known that she would be here in the blink of an eye."

Magistrate Su couldn't help but feel very surprised that he had been tricked twice by this girl today.

What is even more heartbreaking is that when Ye Zifen came here and saw Magistrate Su, her first words were: "Why are you here? I can see you wherever I go!"

After saying this, she shook her head, her face full of disgust.

This made Su County Magistrate feel stabbed twice in his heart.

However, Ye Zifen's dislike of Magistrate Su only lasted for a moment, and then he saluted Mrs. Su and greeted her.

Mrs. Su couldn't even wait for her to finish her salute, and quickly waved her hand to sit next to her.

Then he looked at her carefully and said, "Oh my, I haven't seen her for half a year, why have I lost so much weight again?"

In fact, instead of losing weight, Ye Zifen felt that she had gained a little weight in the past six months.

But when elders look at younger generations, they always feel that as long as their children are not in front of them, they are suffering, and the sign of suffering is becoming thinner.
