Parents are busy farming

After hearing this, Zifang's eyes flashed with enlightenment, but she was still a little confused: "But, everyone thinks that women should be gentle and graceful, support their husbands and raise children, these are traditions since ancient times... I am just in charge of the overall situation now. It's okay for me to follow you when I'm young, but what about in the future?"

Ye Zifen shook her head gently, her lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

She said softly: "Traditions are not immutable. The key lies in whether we have the courage to break through those constraints. Being gentle and graceful is not difficult. It is just the side we show to the world. What is important is that we should live out our true selves, free and unrestrained. In this world, only by relying on ourselves can we truly gain a foothold. Don't let those old rules limit your life."

Zifang stared at her sister silently, thinking about every word she said.

After a while, she nodded slowly, indicating that she would think about it carefully.

Of course, she knew in her heart that her sister had always cared for her very much. She also knew her sister's painstaking efforts, but she also understood that she still had a long way to go and needed to continue to grow.

Ye Zifen looked at her sister happily, her eyes filled with relief.

Although Zifang is still young, she is smart and has a high level of understanding.

As long as she is given the right guidance and education, she will definitely achieve something in the future.

Ye Zifen taught patiently, with an earnest tone and sincere words.

At this time, Liu Meng'er, who was standing aside, listened quietly to the conversation between the two sisters, and was deeply moved in her heart.

She suddenly realized that her previous understanding of self-reliance was not deep enough, and she only knew that she had to work hard.

However, after hearing what Ye Zifen said today, she finally understood the purpose of her hard work - that is, to be able to stand up straight and live an upright life.

Because I understand, I am no longer obsessed with Ye Zihong.

This matter has been discussed for a long time. Ye Zifen said, "We brought back a lot of food this time, which can solve the urgent need at home. The next step is to take care of the fields at home."

Ye Zifang nodded, "Sister, I know what to do."

It was already past mid-afternoon when Ye Zifen returned, and the sun was about to set.

She quickly said, "I'll go back and see the others to see if they are okay. I'll also tell everyone about the robbery at the Vanguard Battalion so that everyone can be happy."

Ye Zifang said, "Then my sister and I will go together."

Ye Zifen nodded. Liu Meng'er was already over there in the courtyard.

I only come here during the day to deal with things with Ye Zifang.

Now seeing Ye Zifen was going back to the courtyard, she followed her.

In fact, everyone in the courtyard already knew that Ye Zifen had returned and was waiting for her.

But Ye Zifen went to Ye's house to see Ye Yongwang first, so they could only wait.

What's wrong with going to meet the father and daughter first when they come back?

So they had no objections and decided to ask Ye Zifen about the situation at sea after meeting her.

Ye Zifen brought Ye Zifang and Liu Meng'er to the courtyard. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw a group of people standing there, with expectant looks on their faces.

She quickly greeted everyone with a smile and briefly talked about the trip to the sea.

After Ye Zifen told everyone about the great victory of the Vanguard Battalion, everyone cheered and rejoiced. They felt proud of the Vanguard Battalion.

The cheers quickly spread throughout the village and even to the training ground.

When Ye Zining heard the sound, he ran over curiously to find out what happened.

When he learned about the vanguard camp, he immediately arranged for his children to notify those families in the village whose children were on the battlefield.

The whole village suddenly became lively and people were filled with joy.

Some people came to Ye Zifen, asking for details and expressing their concern about whether their children could return safely.

However, Ye Zifen could not give a definite answer to this question.

Although she understood everyone's concern for their loved ones, as a soldier, whether she could return home depended on the decision of the court and the army.

Despite this, Ye Zifen still comforted him, "The Vanguard Battalion has made great achievements this time, and the Emperor has specially approved them to go to the capital to receive rewards. This is a great thing!"

One of them asked, "What kind of reward can I get?"

Ye Zifen smiled and replied: "Even if they can't be promoted, at least they will be rewarded with some gold and silver. More importantly, they will become famous because of this!"

An old lady in the village suddenly sighed with emotion: "Ah! I had expected that once the boy left here, it would be difficult for him to come back. Didn't you see how excited they were when they left? Since they have chosen this path, how can we stop them? As long as the children are happy, parents can only let nature take its course."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She didn't expect this lady to be so open-minded and broad-minded.

As the lady finished her words, several women around her echoed her and sighed.

Although they were reluctant, they also understood that it was the children's own choice.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen hurriedly comforted them, "The Vanguard Battalion has won a great victory, which is a great joy. The children in your family are successful because their parents have taught them well. Everyone should be happy!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and said in unison: "Yes, yes, yes... Of course we are happy, but we don't know how to express our joy for the moment. Besides, they can achieve what they have now, thanks to the help and support of the fifth girl. We, the whole village, are grateful!"

Everyone was talking, and Zhang Wangshi in the distance didn't come forward, but she clearly heard the words "promotion".

For some reason, when she heard these four words, a strong feeling surged in her heart - the person who was promoted must be Zhang Gaoyi!

At this moment, all kinds of beautiful dreams began to weave in her mind, as if she saw herself becoming a noble old lady.

She looked forward to going to Beijing with her son in the future, enjoying wealth and glory and leading an enviable life.

She imagined tasting delicious food and enjoying happy moments every day.

At the same time, she also planned to bring her son and daughter to Beijing to share the glory.

Thinking of this, she suddenly regretted finding a peasant husband for Zhang Xiayue.

If Xia Yue had not yet married, she could go to the capital with them, and perhaps even marry into a family of officials and become the head of the household. At that time, the whole family would be glorious.

In addition, she also has an older son. If he cannot go to Beijing, she can at least give him some gold, silver and treasures to ensure that he will have a worry-free life in the future.
