Parents are busy farming

The next day, Li Laosi and Lao Li's in-laws came to visit. They didn't expect that the Ye family had just built a restaurant and was about to build a house.

I took over a job from a well-established family in the county, but it was difficult to transfer the manpower halfway through the construction.

Fortunately, Lao Li said there was no rush, so they felt relieved.

No, when the business over there was finished, they came over quickly.

Seeing them coming, Ye Zifen didn't waste any time and took them to the sheep shed to see the foundation.

Lao Li has already gone to the fields, which is why Li Laosi directly brought people to the door, but they did not find Lao Li.

"I plan to tear down part of the sheep shed and build an independent house first, which can accommodate about five small families. That means there must be five large rooms, and each large room should preferably have a small suite!"

Ye Zifen roughly gestured to a position, and Li Laosi and Lao Li's family nodded.

Then he came to the training ground, pointed to the large piece of foundation and said: "That area is what I originally wanted you to build. It will have about thirty rooms and a training ground. It is best to have both indoors and outdoors."

Then he took out a blueprint from his arms and said, "This is the room and training ground I planned. Can you help me see if there is anything unreasonable?"

Li Laosi and his relatives opened the drawing and looked at it carefully. There were detailed dimensions on it, which was not difficult to see clearly.

This was also thanks to Ye Zifen's last drawing, which was full of numbers, and they could understand what they meant at a glance.

"As long as the dimensions above do not exceed the scope of the foundation, there will be no problem!" Lao Li's family said excitedly.

Ye Zifen nodded after hearing this, "I will give you the drawings of the independent house in front this morning. As per the old rules, I will give you the money, and you will be responsible for the hard work and materials."

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Follow Ye Zifen back to Ye's house to get the money.

This time Ye Zifen gave them two hundred taels of silver.

It's not that she doesn't want to give more, it's just that she really doesn't have any money on hand.

"Now I still have some money to use. You can use it first. I can give you some more in about five days." Ye Zifen explained.

In five days, the grocery store and mutton soup restaurant will deliver this quarter's profits, and then there will be no shortage of money.

How can we have several industries but still be short of money? well!

Lao Li's family quickly said: "Let's build the house in front first. This money is enough!"

Ye Zifen nodded and asked them to wait while she went to draw the drawings of the house.

Half an hour later, the drawing was finished.

After handing the drawings to Li Laosi, he sent them out of Ye's house.

The weather is fine, it's time to go for a walk in the fields.

Before entering the house to change clothes, he went to the kitchen to get a melon.

While eating, he said to himself: "Everyone in the family likes to eat it. There are four or five melons left in the basket. I will plant some next year. It is convenient to eat what I grow myself."

I changed out of an old piece of clothing and went to look in the fields.

All the fresh corns have been removed, leaving only the bare corn stalks.

Ye Zifen is thinking about growing some cabbage. Last year's sauerkraut was very successful. This year, she will grow some cabbage to prepare for emergencies.

I looked at the land again and saw that it was a little dry.

It happened that Lu Yongrui, his four brothers and Lao Li were picking cotton.

Ye Zifen walked over and talked to Lao Li about prying off the corn stalks and planting cabbage. She also reminded him that the corn and sorghum should be watered in autumn, and asked him to hire day laborers to water the crops.

Lao Li agreed, and Ye Zifen went to look at the sixty acres of land again.

When I came here, I first pulled out a watermelon from the corn field and knocked it, eh! What should I do if she can't tell whether it's familiar or not?

What can I do? Eat it if it tastes good. If it doesn’t taste good, don’t waste food.

The little fist was raised and hit the watermelon with a bang. Very good, the watermelon is ripe.

A lot of watermelon flesh appeared on Ye Zifen's face, hair, and clothes.

It was the first time she was so embarrassed, but why did she still feel happy?

Hiding in the cornfield without anyone noticing, you can make as much noise as you want and play as much as you want.

There is no need to be sensible or pay attention to what others think of her.

Break off a piece of watermelon with your hands and eat it with big mouthfuls.

No wonder those people in the world like to eat meat and drink alcohol, it’s just fun.

The originally small watermelon was half wasted by that fist, and it was finished in a short time.

In this weather, eating a watermelon is very thirst-quenching.

Ye Zifen sat for a while before starting to clean up the battlefield. She looked at the clothes on her body. Fortunately, they were old clothes, otherwise she would have been distressed.

I went to look at the remaining peanuts and other things, and they looked pretty good. I touched the soil and found that it had improved.

It is estimated that after another year of cultivation, these lands will be restored.

It was already noon when I got home, and I was cooking with Mrs. Feng.

"Have you been busy lately, Miss Fifth?" Mrs. Feng asked.

"Fortunately, I was a little too busy the past few days. When I felt tired, I wanted to be lazy and take a rest." Ye Zifen explained.

"Fifth Miss should really take a good rest. You are still young and it is the time when you are growing, so you must pay more attention!" Mother Feng warned.

Ye Zifen nodded.

Mrs. Feng felt a little relieved when she saw that she had listened.

The two of them prepared lunch. Mrs. Feng brought the meals to the men, while Ye Zifen took their meals to the dining room.

Ye Zifei walked in with Ye Chengsi in her arms.

Zhi Fang also walked in behind.

The little girl asked her: "Fifth sister, when will Aunt Qi come back?"

"I'll be back soon!" Ye Zifen thought she was thinking about Grandma Qi, so she quickly answered.

Ye Zifang came back quickly after hearing this, her shoulders slumped a little.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zifen asked curiously.

"It feels good not to have to get up early. I hope to play for a few more days." Zifang complained.

"Don't you play every day?" Ye Zifen asked again.

"Nanny Qi is at home, and she keeps looking at me. I don't dare..." Zifang said with aggrieved face.

It turned out that the tiger was not at home, and the little monkey became the overlord.

"Aunt Qi is afraid that you will forget what you learned. How about I talk to her when she comes back?" Ye Zifen carried her to the stool.

Ye Zifang nodded quickly.

At this time, Ye Ziwei and Mu Hongzhou walked in, and they stopped talking.

After Mrs. Feng came back, the family had meals together and lived a very comfortable life.

*

Ye Yongwang, who was on his way back, wanted to talk to Wang Tinghe several times.

But she kept holding on to the two girls, not giving him a chance to talk alone.

In the end, Ye Yongwang could only sulk alone.

People who have traveled far away are returning, and Wang Tingfeng and Wang Hong are also on their way back.

And Zhang Gaoyi has already entered the city.

Pang Chao waited for a long time and finally got Zhang Gaoyi back.

Looking at the carts of seafood, Pang Chao immediately wrote a menu and posted it outside Fuke Lai's door.

In addition, two beggars were hired to go around the county and shout, "Fuke is here to get some seafood!"

After all the seafood was put into the ice cellar and Li Erniu finished counting, Zhang Gaoyi led more than 20 chefs to the mutton soup restaurant.

Then he quickly sent the carriage to Zhuangzi and got five sheep back from Zhuangzi.

Finally, Li Daniu, who came with him, was asked to inform Ye Zifen.

When Ye Zifen and his family arrived, Zhang Gaoyi and the others had already pulled off the sheepskin.

Ye Zifen immediately stepped forward to help, and four cousins ​​also went to help.

Roast lamb, they know it, and they're good at it.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at several men older than him, came to Ye Zifen and asked, "Who are they? Why does one of them look so similar to Lu Zili?"

"My second uncle is back, they are my cousins!" Ye Zifen replied as she was busy with her work.

Zhang Gaoyi frowned, ‘A few more difficult guys have arrived. ’

Why does he think so?

Because when he approached Ye Zifen, her cousins ​​and her second uncle looked at him as if they were guarding against thieves.

He was familiar with this kind of look, that's how Ye Yongwang looked at him.
