Parents are busy farming

Zhi Zifen and the others all wore shabby clothes and came to the field. When they saw the corn, Zhi Zifen felt filled with a sense of accomplishment. She had grown it!

Then Ye Zifen began to assign work, "Second uncle, you and your four brothers pry off the corn stalks."

Ye Yongrui nodded, "Okay! Come with me, I'll show you first."

The four cousins ​​have never farmed, so they know nothing about farm work.

Seeing that they had already started, Zi Zifen said to the remaining people: "Second Aunt, you and the three of us sisters will break the corn off the corn stalk together."

Although Ye Lan has never done it before, he can learn and sell it now.

Ye Zifen and the others followed the four men respectively, peeling off the skin of the corn, then breaking off the corn and throwing it into the basket next to them.

Zhi Fen followed Zhi Meng. She thought that Zhi Meng was the youngest and she could take over for him when he couldn't do anything.

But along the way, Ye Zimeng was not left behind.

This makes Ye Zifen admire Ye Yongrui more and more. All of his children are upright men.

Ye Zifen and Ye Ziwei trained every day and were very fast at hand. They quickly left Ye Lanshi and Ye Zifei behind.

Ye Zifei has the worst working ability, so she is at the back.

Fortunately, she had a good partner, Ye Yongrui. After the second uncle finished prying a bunch of corns, he started to break off the corns from the other end.

Ye Zining was the second to finish, and he also helped Ye Lan break the corn.

Therefore, the four groups were quite fast and completed four borders.

Zi Ziwei said to Zi Zifen: "Fifth sister, bring some peanuts back today. Let's cook the peanuts and eat them!"

Zhi Meng was also nearby. He listened and immediately turned to look at Zhi Fen.

Zi Zifen couldn't stand Zi Wei's pitiful eyes, so she had to surrender.

He said: "Let's go dig some peanuts and cook them when we get back. But the freshly cooked peanuts don't taste good. Let's eat them at night and ask Li Daniu to bring a sheep over. Boiled peanuts go well with roasted lamb."

Ye Ziwei's mouth was watering after hearing this, "Sister, I heard you and Master Shangguan talk about sticking autumn fat two days ago. Is that what it means?"

Zi Zifen didn't expect Zi Ziwei to be so clever, so she nodded in agreement.

Recalling that before Mu Hongzhou came, Xiaoliu was still a child who needed her and Ye Zifei to take care of her at all times.

In less than a year, Xiao Liu has grown up so much.

Compared with Lu Hongzhi of the same age, he is as good as heaven and earth.

It can be seen that people are not inherently stupid. They can only be loved or not loved.

The leaves spread with the hoe and the peanuts were dug out.

Ye Ziwei, Ye Zihong, and Ye Zimeng picked the peanuts from the peanut vines and threw them into their baskets.

Ye Yongrui and the four of them started a new crop of corns.

By the time Ye Zifen and the other four got out two baskets of peanuts, they had already finished half of them.

The four young men were immediately inspired to fight and began to chase them.

In the end, the four of them tied with Ye Yongrui and the others and finished together.

"Let's go! Go home for lunch and continue in the afternoon!" Ye Zifen said boldly.

Several men loaded the corns onto the oxcart, and finally covered the top with peanut vines, and everyone walked home.

From time to time, Ye Ziwei put peanut vines to Dahuang's mouth to seduce it to move away quickly.

The few remaining people followed the bullock cart and drove it.

Lao Li didn't wait for Ye Zifen in the Ye family's field, but he did wait for Ye Yongwang.

"Master, aren't Fifth Miss and the others coming?" Lao Li put down the corn stalk in his hand and asked Ye Yongwang.

Ye Yongwang was embarrassed for a while, and then said: "I asked her to harvest the crops on her sixty acres of land first."

When Lao Li heard this, he frowned and recalled the relationship between the young ladies and Mrs. Ye's family. It was hard for him to say anything as a long-term worker.

Among the hired day laborers, no one was lazy, they were all working hard.

Although the Ye family didn't care about food, they were given good wages, so they were all happy to come.

Lao Li also knew the thoughts of those day laborers, so he said to Ye Yongwang: "Sir, when the fifth lady hired day laborers, she gave them an extra two cents a day. The lady said she didn't care about the food, so she gave them more money to buy food!"

Ye Yongwang listened and nodded, "Continue to do as your lady says!"

"Then... shall we send these grains back to the Ye family?" Lao Li didn't want to ask, but he was afraid it would be inappropriate not to ask.

"Send it back to the Ye family. The sorghum will be collected and sent to your fifth lady's farm. She wants to make wine!" Ye Yongwang ordered.

Lao Li immediately agreed upon hearing this.

After Ye Zifen had lunch, he cooked peanuts.

He also asked Mu Hongzhou to go to Zhuangzi and tell Li Daniu to send some milk-producing sheep and a fat sheep. They would roast the whole sheep for dinner in the evening.

As soon as Mu Hongzhou heard that there was something to eat, he set off immediately.

In the afternoon, while Zi Zifen and the others were busy in the fields, Li Daniu came and he had already unloaded the sheep into the sheepfold.

Ye Zifen walked to the roadside in a few steps and said to Li Daniu: "Today, Zhuangzi will also kill a sheep. You will go to the sheep soup shop later and take the woman who roasts the mutton back."

When Li Daniu heard this, he immediately wanted to thank him.

Ye Zifen raised her hand and said, "When you leave later, go to Feng's mother's place to get some boiled peanuts to take back. Tell Keren that today we will post autumn fat and tomorrow we will give the girls a day off. We have been busy for several months." Okay, let everyone rest."

Li Daniu said quickly: "Yes, I will talk to Manager Luo when I get back!"

When Zi Zifen heard Li Daniu calling Luo Keren Luo's manager, she started to tease him.

"Manager Luo? What a respectful shout! I wonder who will be in charge of your family in the future!"

Zi Zifen was joking, but Li Daniu replied solemnly: "Of course, Manager Luo is the one who calls the shots!"

Zi Zifen never expected that she was going to tease him, but instead she was fed a mouthful of dog food.

I could only quickly change the subject and said: "Your father and your brother are very busy recently and can't go back. Just take some time to go back and take a look! I have already told Mother Feng that she will prepare things for you to take home. .”

When Li Daniu heard this, he immediately said: "It's time to talk about the family. The three of us all have wages to earn, and we can't let Miss Fifth spend any more money!"

"Just take it if I ask you to take it. When did you become as polite as your father!" Ye Zifen said pretending to be angry.

Li Daniu immediately did not dare to refute.

Three men from the Li family came to work for her, leaving a woman and two girls. Zifen was not at ease, so she always asked them to go home from time to time.

Seeing that the other people were faster than them, Zi Zifen immediately said to Li Daniu: "You should do as I said! When the autumn harvest is over, I will go to Zhuangzi to see you."

After saying that, he walked quickly into the fields.

Zi Zifen has not been to Zhuangzi for a long time due to the shift in work focus. She trusts Luo Keren and trusts Li Daniu.

But it's not always good for a master to not show up for a long time.

Ye Zifen came to the place where the corn had just been broken, squatted down and continued working, but she always felt like she had forgotten something.

Very distressed.
