Parents are busy farming

After hearing this, Ye Zifen nodded repeatedly in agreement, and shouted loudly in the distance: "This is a good idea, Li Daniu!"

Li Daniu was busy arranging the people he brought when he heard Ye Zifen calling him and hurried over.

"Miss, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"

Ye Zifen said to him with a smile: "Go upstairs and prepare a large room. Later, arrange all the people with children into that private room. By the way, are your mother and sister here?"

Originally, this task could be left to Wang Sheng, but at the moment Wang Sheng is very busy, handling matters on the third floor.

Li Daniu hurriedly said: "My mother and sister will come with my father later. When he returned home two days ago, he claimed that he would return to pick them up today, while my guests and I came from Zhuangzi. Last night we So stay here.”

Ye Zifen asked doubtfully: "So, isn't your residence in the city idle and uninhabited?"

Luo Keren nodded and responded: "There are many inconveniences in the city. Even firewood needs to be purchased. Now that it is winter, more firewood is needed. There are still children at home who need to be taken care of. We, the husband and wife, really have no spare time. It would be better to live in Zhuangzi or Lijiazhuang."

Ye Zifen smiled and shook his head slightly, expressing respect for them to make their own decision.

At this moment, Liu Menger and several female stewards who had just gone upstairs also came downstairs. Seeing Luo Keren holding the child in his arms, they naturally stepped forward to take over the child.

Liu Meng'er said: "A few days ago, the girls in Zhuangzi were busy making those cotton-padded clothes made of sheepskin, and they were just teasing this little baby. Fortunately, this child doesn't recognize birth, and anyone can hug him."

There was no concealment of the affection in those words. Ye Zifen looked around and found that other people looked at the little guy with the same expression of affection.

She nodded slightly and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work! I wonder how your eyes are doing?"

This is what Ye Zifen is most concerned about and she asks about it every year.

A female steward smiled and replied: "It doesn't feel hard. We have long been accustomed to having work to do. And we are different from those embroiderers who immerse themselves in embroidery all day long. Once we become proficient in our skills, we will have the feel for it, even if we don't Even if you stare at it, you can get the job done very well.”

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "In addition, Miss also specially asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription for improving eyesight and rejuvenating the mind. Now everyone's eyes are better. But some people complained that the medicine was a bit bitter to drink. ”

Ye Zifen burst into laughter when she heard this, and said: "There is no good medicine. That prescription cannot be prescribed by just anyone. Let the girls insist on drinking it."

Immediately afterwards, another manager said: "Because of the hand feel problem, everyone is used to having their hands busy all the time, for fear of losing that hand feel. Only when there is something to do, everyone will feel at ease."

However, the steward who spoke earlier showed a trace of worry. She said worriedly: "I'm afraid there won't be much work to do next. The girls have almost finished making those sheepskin coats. And we have cotton and cotton in stock." The quantity of linen is limited, and there is not much left of cotton and twine.”

Zi Zifen knew very well what the other party was worried about, so she quickly comforted her by saying: "Don't worry, we still have some cotton stocks on hand. When next year comes, I will find a suitable place to do it on a large scale. Planting cotton.”

Then he sighed and said: "Nowadays, even if ordinary people have some spare money in their pockets, they never dare to buy fabrics easily. Therefore, it doesn't hurt even if there is no excess inventory at the moment. Relax, don't be anxious. ”

After hearing this, the steward nodded in agreement, and said with a relieved smile: "We people always feel that if we don't do something, we will feel like we have no place in our hearts."

After Zifen looked at her carefully, she asked half-jokingly: "If I arrange another job for you, would you be willing to take it?"

The steward immediately straightened up and responded categorically: "I'm extremely happy! Miss, just ask me, I can do whatever you want!"

Ye Zifen turned her attention to Liu Meng'er who was standing aside, and Liu Meng'er introduced with a smile: "This is Li Yuan'er, we all call her Yuan'er. She is a little younger than me by one year, and she is well-known as a shrewd person in this village. Sister. However, the girls in the village obey her. If anyone gets into trouble or disputes, they will go to Yuan'er to mediate. "

Ye Zifen became more and more satisfied after listening to it, and in the end she even nodded slightly to express her appreciation.

She raised the corner of her mouth, revealed a slight smile, and said softly: "That's great! When next spring comes, the caravan will set off for the capital, and you can go with them. In addition, my sixth sister will also accompany you. I want to open a shop specializing in chickens and ducks in the capital, and you will need to go there to open the shop and take care of it in the future. "

Li Yuan'er knew that this was a rare opportunity for her. After hearing this, her eyes suddenly shone and she quickly responded: "Miss, please be patient. I will do my best to live up to my trust.

"Zi Zifen was very pleased to see that he was full of confidence. He chuckled and said, "You don't have to be so excited. I will prepare a cook for you by then. During this period, you need to ask Meng'er and Keren for advice on how to open a store. "

Li Yuan'er nodded frequently.

Ye Zifenfu then told: "The most important thing is that you should seek advice from Manager Lu Zili. He has rich experience in this matter. However, as a woman, you must be cautious and measured in your affairs. Don't lose etiquette. Know that no?"

Li Yuan'er immediately understood the reason for Ye Zifen's warning and couldn't help but blush.

Luo Keren comforted Ye Zifen and said, "Miss, you can rest assured. Shopkeeper Lu now has a group of capable people! Among them is a young man named Huang Hao, who fell in love with our daughter-in-law at first sight! As a result, , just arrange for them to study together.”

Li Yuan'er couldn't help but blush when she heard Luo Keren's straightforward words, while Ye Zifen became even more surprised.

She hurriedly called Lu Zili and asked about the specific situation of Huang Hao.

When Lu Zili heard Ye Zifen mention this person, he immediately turned to look at Li Yuan'er.

It seems that he also knows something.

Lu Zili smiled first, and then said seriously: "Although Huang Hao is not the most outstanding person in academics, his character is stable and reliable. Whenever I leave the mutton soup restaurant, he is responsible for guarding it. He is very capable of protecting the family business. , it really shouldn’t be underestimated.”
