Parents are busy farming

"When did he get into the Ye family's genealogy?" Lu Dashan asked Lu Yongfu.

Lu Yongfu shook his head, "I don't know, we only found out when there were rumors in the village!"

Lu Dashan had a sullen face and said nothing.

"I wonder why he always works for the Ye family! It seems that they have already discussed it!" Lu Li muttered.

"Will the boss allocate land to him?" Lu Dashan seemed to be asking them, and also seemed to be asking himself.

"Who knows! But I don't think it's possible. Can that shameless member of the Wang family be willing?" Lu Li guessed.

Lu Dashan thought the same way, but by doing so, they were openly slapping him in the face.

It’s just that he is old, what else can he do?

Looking at the grave in the distance again, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

"Go back! Just pretend you don't know about this!" Lu Dashan seemed to accept his fate.

From this day on, Lu Dashan will still take Lu Yongfu to work in the fields.

Knowing that his spirit was not good, he agreed to Lu Yongfu's proposal to hire short-term workers.

Therefore, the Lu family also hired two day laborers during the autumn harvest, and of course it was Lu Zili who came to pay the bills.

Lu Zili has already shouldered the responsibility of the Lu family, and now they start to look to him for advice when something happens.

After Lu Dashan and Lu Li came to the hut, Lu Zili only came here on the first day.

After learning what they had done, he never saw them again.

He could not forgive his grandfather. His education and his morals did not allow him to forgive him anymore.

But he couldn't worry about the two old people, so he would bring back some chicken, duck and fish every day.

He also reminded Lu Bai that he must prepare it and send it to them.

Mrs. Lu Bai was also very happy. Every time she would get some to give to her parents' family, but she was afraid that the Lu family would sue her and she didn't dare to take more!

The lives of the Bai family have gotten much better these days.

During the summer harvest, Lu Dashan sold the wheat he got from Ye Yongwang.

This time when harvesting corn, Lu Yongfu wanted to sell it directly, but was blocked by Lu Dashan.

Mr. Lu Li also did not agree to sell.

For people who have experienced major disasters, food is their lifeblood.

The food must not be touched until the next year's food arrives. Whoever touches it will be in a hurry.

Ye Zifen and the others also heard some rumors.

This topic came up when I was sitting with Zhang Gaoyi chatting under the moonlight in the evening.

"I guess the old patriarch asked someone to spread the word!" Ye Zifen guessed.

"Why did he do this?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

Ye Zifen replied: "He probably didn't agree with the extermination of the second uncle's family, but Lu Dashan insisted on doing this. He was angry, so he spread the news and made Lu Dashan angry!"

To put it bluntly, I just wanted to see Lu Dashan’s regretful face.

Zhang Gaoyi nodded.

Recently, he would find time to talk to Zi Zifen every night. When he came back this time, he could clearly feel that Zi Zifen was a little unhappy.

As for the reason, everyone close to Ye Zifen knows.

He felt that this was good. After leaving her mother, there wouldn't be so many messy things.

"This time when I go out, I'd better bring wheat noodles! The corn is a little wet and it's not easy to grind!" Ye Zifen said.

"You decide!"

Zhang Gaoyi had no objection. He knew that Ye Zifen had tried his best to provide convenience for the caravan.

"Didn't you tell me how many more cars will be taken this time? Have the cars already started?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

Ye Zifen replied: "I have already sent the message to the carpenter. But you still have to go to Fucheng to get more saltpeter!"

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, "After harvesting the corns, I will buy them back immediately!"

"My brother-in-law has already received news and should be able to buy us twenty horses!" Ye Zifen said.

"When will it arrive?" he asked.

Ye Zifen calculated the distance and said, "About half a month!"

Zhang Gaoyi asked: "Okay! Let's take twenty people out this time?"

Zi Zifen thought that if she wanted to go out this time, she would have to take the master and the others with her, so she couldn't take so many people with her.

He said, "We'll talk about it then. You go and see who has good skills first. Take the good ones out to practice first!"

"Okay! Xiaoliu knows what's going on, just ask her when the time comes!" When Zhang Gaoyi was not at home, it was Ye Ziwei who took the lead.

The two sat quietly for a while before going to rest.

Ye Yongwang hired a part-time worker, so it only took him three days to finish the corn.

The corn harvest has been finished, but there are still many soybeans on the ground.

When I came here as a day laborer, I lamented that I was trying to pry the corns, but I was shocked by the goods received from the Ye family.

Soybeans are grown in cornfields, and the cornrows are so widely spaced that the harvest is not affected.

Now it’s time to harvest soybeans again.

Although the yield of soybeans is not that high, there is income.

While they were envious, they also felt that they had learned something and decided to grow the corn at home next year in the same way.

Lao Li was completely convinced. He didn't expect that Fifth Miss just said it casually and it turned out to be true.

Such output was something he had never seen before.

After returning home, I told Zi Zifen about this year's production, and Zi Zifen had a surprised expression on her face.

"Try again next year. If the yield is still high, then we can ask the county government to help promote it!" Ye Zifen said with some excitement.

Lao Li also nodded fiercely. If this method works, more people will be able to have enough to eat in the future.

I don't know when it started, but his thoughts have shifted from his own one-third of an acre of land to more people.

Maybe this means that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black!

After spending a long time with a well-organized person, his mind will also broaden unconsciously.

After five days of busy work, the brothers and sisters finally finished the corn.

Looking at the corn piled in the yard, several people felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Second Aunt! You can only take the reserved path when you go out of the house." Zi Zifen said jokingly.

Yes, Ye Zifen put all the corn from the twenty acres of land into the house where Ye Yongrui and the others live now.

"I'm also happy to take the small road. I feel very satisfied after seeing so much food!" Ye Lanshi said with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, you are really amazing, you can grow so much food!" Ye Zining rubbed his hands in excitement.

"What's this? There are still peanuts and other things that haven't been brought back! You will be even more shocked by then. So brothers, please close your mouths so that you can swallow eggs!" Ye Zifen said teasingly.

Ye Lanshi smiled and scolded: "You naughty girl!"

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and started discussing what to plant in the next twenty acres of land.

"Are you going to plant wheat in these twenty acres of land?" Ye Yongrui asked.

Ye Zifen shook his head, "The land must be planted crosswise. If you always plant one type of crop, it will become barren!"

Ye Yongrui nodded and asked, "Then what do you plan to plant?"

"I plan to grow cotton in this land next year, so I will leave the spring land (nothing is planted on the land in winter and will be planted again in spring. This kind of land is called spring land.), and then I will plant radish and late cabbage. Let’s do it!” Ye Zifen said with great certainty.

There are many varieties of radishes, and you don’t have to grow just one.

"Okay! I'll water the land tomorrow and plant it after it's dry!" Ye Yongrui said.

Ye Zifen said with a smile: "Second uncle, don't worry, let's go to the village to get some sheep dung or something, put it on the ground, and then water it! This way the land will be fertile enough, and things will grow well!"

Ye Yongrui nodded repeatedly, "You are right!"
