Parents are busy farming

"Hey! Whose little girl is she from?" A middle-aged woman walked out of the back room. She smiled before she even opened her mouth, making others happy at the sight of her.

"Auntie! It's me, Zifen. I'm here to ask my uncle to help me pack some things today." After Zifen finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the woman.

"Okay! It's no trouble. Master, please stop now. Girl Zifen asked you to pack something and come out neatly to listen."

At first glance, this woman has a cheerful personality and helps the family receive guests.

Let the people who come feel valued after listening to her words.

"Hey! Got it, I'll wash my hands and be right away." A man's voice came from the backyard.

No wonder this family can live a good life, the husband and wife are so alike.

A middle-aged man walked in, and the woman quickly handed him the paper.

After the man saw the paper, he took it and looked at it for a while, and then said: "It stands to reason that the dimensions on it are clearly marked, so I shouldn't ask, but I'm still curious about what this is for?"

This is human nature. Anyone who makes something for no reason without explaining what it does will be doubted!

"Oh! It's just a tool for me to learn embroidery. I want to learn something, but I can't do it without nothing! I don't want to try it and see if the female celebrity can learn something."

After Ye Zifen said this, she lowered her head. Those who didn't know thought she was shy!

That man had made embroidery stands for others before, which were very different from this one, but when people said that, he couldn't say anything else.

When the woman heard this, she glared at the man and said, "Zifen is one of the best girls in our village! It's always good for this popular girl to learn more."

After the woman finished smoothing things over, the man quickly answered: "Yes..."

"I wonder how much I have to pay?" Ye Zifen asked with a smile.

"You pay a deposit of one hundred cents first! The remaining one hundred cents will be paid when you come to pick up the items in three days." The man weighed the materials and said.

She didn't think it was a big piece, but she wanted everything to be polished smooth, so the labor cost was a little expensive.

Ye Zifen breathed a sigh of relief quietly, 'It's okay, it's okay, she still has enough money left. ’

So Ye Zifen happily gave him one hundred Wen.

After Ye Zifen walked out of the house, the woman was still standing at the door to see her off.

"The girls from the Ye family are really good. If I weren't afraid that they would only have girls and not sons like her mother, I would have wanted to marry our second son." After the lady returned to the house, she said to the man who was drinking water.

"It won't work if you have this one. Okay, after I go to the back and dig out the bed, I'll take out her gadget. When the boss comes back later, he can help me. By the way, let the second brother come over and polish the things for me. Go, don’t go out and have fun all day long.”

After the man finished speaking, he drank all the water in the bowl and carried the piece of paper into the backyard.

The woman went out to look for her second son.

Ye Zifen went to another store, also paid a deposit, and agreed to pick it up three days later.

When she returned home, she moved the spinning wheel out of the warehouse, wiped it clean, and asked Ye Yongwang to help put it into a compartment in her house.

It is very convenient to move it directly to the kang when it is in use and move it down when not in use.

My aunt asked someone to make this spinning wheel. The spinning wheel is very efficient, but no one is used to using it.

However, Ye Zifen is very accustomed to using it. At that time, her arms were short and she was a little fussy when using it. Now she is much better.

"What are you doing with this thing?" Ye Zifei asked after seeing it.

"I want to spin thread! Recently I thought that we should learn to make shoes, so I prepared the things first."

Zifen didn't tell Zifei about the loom because she didn't know yet whether it would work.

Ye Zifei nodded after hearing this. She really should learn something. After keeping her filial piety to her aunt, she should say goodbye.

"Then I'll call my mother over and ask her to teach us?" Ye Zifei suggested.

"Okay! Let's go! I'm going to find some unused rags. I guess mother will teach us how to paste the soles of our shoes first!"

Ye Zifen went to prepare things, while Ye Zifei went to call Wang Tinghe.

When Wang Tinghe heard that her daughter wanted to learn to make shoes, she felt guilty.

When her daughters grow up, she still hasn’t taught them anything!

Wang Tinghe brought her little daughter to Ye Zifen's room. She first saw the spinning wheel, and the scene of living with her aunt appeared before her eyes again.

The guilt became even more serious. When her aunt was still alive, she often told her that both men and women were her children and she should treat them well. However, she had always been looking forward to having a son.

When Ye Zifen walked in, she saw her mother with tears in her eyes, staring at the spinning wheel.

She immediately knew what her mother was thinking, but she didn't say anything to comfort her. There were some things that she had to figure out on her own, and no matter what others said, it was useless.

Only after suffering enough will she learn to change her mind.

Ye Zifen asked the third sister to go to the warehouse and move out the big wooden board used to paste the soles of the shoes.

In fact, she knew something about it. She had seen her aunt do it before, so she knew the general process, but she still needed to try it out herself.

When Wang Tinghe came to his senses, his two daughters had already gone to the kitchen to make cornstarch.

She came to the kitchen just in time to see her third daughter lighting the fire, and her youngest daughter putting cornmeal into the boiling water bit by bit.

Finally, when it looked like it was almost done, I kept stirring the spoon in my hand.

"Are you sure you can use this much?" Wang Tinghe asked, looking at the small half pot.

"It doesn't matter if you endure too much! The rest is for the old scalper to eat!"

Ye Zifen will not admit that they made a mistake and did too much.

Wang Tinghe looked at the tough-talking fifth girl and said helplessly, "Okay! Let's take the next step now!"

Then the two sisters divided their labors and cooperated. One spread the corn paste, and the other spread the rags on the wooden board that had been coated with corn paste, layer after layer, until they stopped after seven or eight layers.

Finally, the hard board of the soles was glued, and it was already noon.

The two people had just moved the wooden boards out to dry, and then went to the kitchen to cook.

"Sister, are you trying to cook for lunch today?" Ye Zifen suggested.

"Are you tired?" Ye Zifei asked reluctantly.

Ye Zifen nodded. It was actually not bad, but she still hoped that the third sister could practice her cooking skills.

"A little bit. How about calling Ziwei in?"

"Okay, you watch from the side while Ziwei and I take action." Ye Zifei agreed as if she was dead.

Called Ziwei into the kitchen. What they make is very simple, just cabbage and pork vermicelli and a pot of rice.

Except that the rice was a little hard, everything else was fine.

The cabbage is cooked, just a little greasy, but still filling.

After Lao Li had today's lunch, he was immediately shocked. Rice was a rare commodity in their place, but it was too wasteful to eat it like this.

And this cabbage, the meat inside is wasted.

But true to his peasant nature, he ate everything.

After several people in the main room took one bite, they felt like they would be tortured if they ate any more.

Ziwei suddenly said at this time: "I'm not very hungry at noon today. There is some cornstarch made by my sister in the kitchen. I can just go and heat it up and drink it."

After Ziwei finished speaking, she ran out and did not enter the dining hall again after lunch. It seemed that she finished her lunch directly in the kitchen.

Ye Yefei was hit to the point of being completely bruised.

"Okay, when you get married, I'll find you a wife who can cook with you." Zi Zifen comforted her.

Ye Zifei felt relieved when she thought about her eldest sister's situation.
