Parents are busy farming

There were already customers ordering at Fu Ke Lai, and Ye Zifen left to go home.

In the afternoon, I went to pry off the corn stalks with Lu Yongrui and Lao Li. The three of them were busy all afternoon and only finished one acre of land.

The four cousins ​​have already gone to the martial arts training ground, because they will set off with Zhang Gaoyi tomorrow.

Therefore, if you sharpen your weapon in battle, it will be useless if you are not happy.

But Zhang Gaoyi doesn't think so. He believes that it's time to sharpen your guns when you're on the road.

Before Lao Li could water the ground, it rained heavily that night.

When I woke up in the morning, the air was fresh and the ground at home was dry.

Summer is like this, it rains in the morning and clears up in the afternoon.

It's just that the caravan is traveling far away. Zi Zifen is a little worried and suggests that they set off tomorrow.

But they were rejected by Zhang Gaoyi. They already had experience in the face of heavy rain.

Besides, they planned to go to a more remote village this time and couldn't delay.

Ye Zifen couldn't persuade them, so she had no choice but to let them go.

Lu Yongrui didn't come to see his cousin off.

In Lu Yongrui's words, "When he was their age, he could already find part-time workers to earn money to support himself. He believed that his children were not cowards." ’

Lu Zili asked her to go to the store to get the money back last night, so after seeing off the caravan, Zifen went to the mutton soup restaurant.

The income of the Mutton Soup Restaurant this quarter was very good, especially after the restaurant was booked, and the profit doubled several times. However, due to the two visits of the caravan, Zifen asked Lu Zili to remember the accounts, so a lot of deductions were still made of.

After taking out the wages and rewards of Lu Zili and other people in the store, she got back one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Compared to a restaurant on a pier, these revenues are already considerable.

After taking the money home, he went directly to the sheep shed and gave one hundred taels to Lao Li's in-laws.

And said to him: "The thirty or so rooms at the back should be built in the style of independent small courtyards. I also just learned that some of the people living there may get married and build small courtyards, which will make their lives more convenient in the future. .”

Ye Zifen also heard it when Mu Hongzhou and the others were talking. At that time, she blamed herself for not thinking too much. Fortunately, work had not started yet.

"This is easy. Does it just require building more than 30 small courtyards?" Lao Li's family asked.

Ye Zifen hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

"I suggest that it would be better to build a suite for each room and two side rooms." Mr. Li's family said.

Otherwise, someone else has experience and thinks more deeply than Zifen.

Ye Zifen nodded quickly after hearing this, "Okay!"

As a result, Lao Li's family handed the one hundred taels to Ye Zifen again.

"Miss Fifth, the last time we built a restaurant, most of it was made of wood and even steel, so it cost a lot. This time you are building a house mainly made of bricks, so you don't have to spend so much money." Li's family explained to Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen was unmoved, "I know that you are doing favors for me by buying things for me. I thank you first. I also know your hard work. Just take what I gave you! With the money, your team People here are more motivated to work.”

When Mr. Li saw that Miss Ye's fifth daughter was sincere, he took it.

Seeing that nothing happened without her, Zi Zifen went to the fields. Sure enough, her second uncle and Lao Li were picking up cotton.

Yesterday's heavy rain caused a lot of water on the cotton. When people walked in, their clothes immediately got wet.

Moreover, when your feet step into it, you will feel mud, and it is very difficult to lift your feet.

Even so, they did not rest, but continued to get the cotton out.

This is farmers. They put too much effort into their crops and soil. No matter how hard they work, they don't want to see them ruined.

Lu Yongrui saw Ye Zifen first and saw that she was trying to enter the ground. He immediately shouted to stop her, "Don't come in! Wait there!"

Seeing how excited he was, Ye Zifen could only stop.

Wait until they come to the roadside and put the cotton in the backpack into the sack.

"It's too wet inside. You, a girl, don't go in there. Go home quickly." Lu Yongrui scolded Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen listened and nodded.

Although he was scolded, there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

After returning home, she asked Mrs. Feng to make some ginger soup and gave it to them when they came back.

Although it is still summer, if your clothes and shoes are wet for a long time, the cold may enter your body.

And today there are so many people building houses, cooking becomes a problem.

So she went to find her fat aunt and asked her to help find two people to cook for the people who were building the house.

The fat aunt happily agreed.

Li Zheng has already told the villagers that Ye Zifen is mainly building a special training venue for the children this time, and they are very grateful.

Moreover, Ye Zifen also said that each person would be given five cents per day.

Just giving me so much money for cooking a meal makes more money than men carrying big bags at the dock!

Ye Zifen himself quickly went to the county town and bought some pork.

There are vegetables in the yard over the sheep shed, and you can use them if you go in and pick them.

After dealing with this, Ye Zifen finally went home to rest.

Ye Ziwei is at home today. Because she has to build a house, the children's training has been suspended.

Ye Ziwei sat on the steps, dragging her chin with her hands, looking bored.

Zi Zifen said to her: "How about you and the master go to the mountains to get some rabbits back? How about we have spicy rabbit meat tonight?"

Ziwei's eyes immediately brightened, and the door to Mu Hongzhou's room opened.

The two walked out without hesitation.

Mrs. Feng poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Miss Sixth is particularly out of energy today. You still have something to do."

Ye Zifei walked out with Chengsi in her arms, thinking, "She doesn't have any ideas here! She has caught Xiaoliu's delicious temperament!"

"Ziwei is delicious! What about you? What's good about you? Isn't it good at making shoes?" Ye Zifen asked very seriously.

Ye Yefei didn't expect her sister to ask this question, and she was at a loss.

"Third sister, if you marry cousin Chuanren, you will definitely have a comfortable life in the future. Cousin Chuanren will definitely not be an official. I think he will be a wife. What about you? What are you going to do? ? People should always have something they like to do, so that life will not pass so slowly, and they will not be like my mother, spending all day..."

This is the first time Ye Yefei has faced this issue since her engagement to Wang Chuanren.

"But I don't know what I like?" Ye Zifei said distressedly.

"Then keep trying!" Ye Zifen gave her some advice.

He grabbed her hand and said: "From now on, you can try to do anything, poetry, singing, writing and painting, even knitting and growing vegetables. As long as you find something that makes you happy when you do it, you I won’t let myself become a resentful woman!”

Ye Zifei was very excited after hearing this.

"For such a long time, I feel that my favorite thing to do is pickling sauerkraut. I still remember when I was making sauerkraut with you last year, I was very happy and felt a full sense of accomplishment."

Ye Zifei's eyes flickered, and her voice revealed urgency.

"Okay, you can start by planting cabbage. Our family will be planting cabbage soon this year. You can follow Uncle Li and learn how to grow cabbage, how to harvest cabbage, and how to make pickled sauerkraut. By then, You can pickle the sauerkraut yourself." Ye Zifen suggested.

"Really? Can I really try it?" Ye Zifei asked excitedly.

Ye Zifen quickly said: "Of course, and I can also help you sell the pickled sauerkraut, so you still have money to spend!"

Ye Zifei nodded quickly.
