Parents are busy farming

After Zi Zifen returned home with Zi Tong, she found two carpenters waiting for her at the stone table outside the courtyard.

She hurriedly took two steps to come to them and said apologetically: "You two uncles have been waiting for a long time! Just let me know and I will go find you. Shall we go back to the house and have a cup of tea?"

"No, you go with us and see how the thing we made looks like!" said one of the carpenters.

Ye Zifen nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Okay! I'll go with you right now."

Then he turned back to Ye Zitong and said, "Second cousin, you go back first, and I'll go take a look with my two uncles."

Ye Zitong nodded, hugged the two of them, and left first.

Ye Zifen followed to check out the fixing bracket they came up with.

Not to mention, the two people had a very wonderful idea. They borrowed the principle of umbrellas.

It brought a big surprise to Ye Zifen.

"Our disc can be retracted to close the outer shelf, or it can be pushed out to fix the bracket. It is more convenient to carry, and it can also drive your outer sheepskin case." One of them explained while giving a demonstration to Zifen.

After Ye Zifen understood it, she started using it herself and felt the power of opening and closing it.

To be honest, it's a bit bulky, but acceptable. Fortunately, these people have all practiced.

Ye Zifen opened it again and went to the shelf to test its firmness.

The solidity of the wood was checked one by one.

"Don't worry, fifth girl, these are all made of jujube wood, they are very hard and strong." Another person assured.

The coconut flour nodded with satisfaction and finally said to the two of them: "Just follow this and make twenty first."

After saying that, he took out one tael of silver from his purse.

Why make three more? If something goes wrong somewhere along the way, they have extra ones to replace.

When we left the door of the carpenter's house, it was already dark.

This day is really tiring!

Compared with her fatigue, Mu Hongzhou was not relaxed either.

She came to an inn, arranged for her horse to be given to the inn, and rented another horse from the inn to continue on her journey.

In the evening, Ye Yongrui's family enjoyed their family reunion in Ye Zining's courtyard.

Ye Zitong suddenly said: "The eldest cousin hurt Xiao Wu this time. Xiao Wu and I complained twice today."

Ye Lanshi quickly asked: "You are not talking nonsense, are you?"

Ye Zitong shouted dissatisfied: "Mom! Am I such a senseless person?"

After Ye Lanshi scolded 'stinky boy', she sighed: "As for the sisters, we definitely favor Zifen, but after all, your father works under the hands of a man named Zixuan, so it's not easy for us to agree with her." There’s a stalemate.”

Qingyin kept listening without interrupting.

Ye Zining suddenly said to Ye Zitong: "You can cooperate with Xiao Wu, but you must follow the contract you made. If you let me know that you ignore family ties for money and don't use it, I will break your legs first. "

Ye Zitong felt very wronged and said aggrievedly: "Brother, am I that kind of person?"

Ye Yongrui said at this time: "Not only Zitong, but also the three of you. Don't forget who made plans for us bit by bit when we came back from the border, let us enter the Ye family's genealogy, and asked me to go to Feng County .Zi Ning got married, Zi Tong went to the mutton soup restaurant, Zi Hong entered the caravan, and Zi Meng became a disciple... Each of these things could not have happened without Zi Fen's help! I don't care what other people do, but you can't be Ungrateful people.”

He has always been a relatively gentle person, but his sudden seriousness made everyone aware of the importance of this matter.

The four brothers repeatedly promised not to do anything wrong to Ye Zifen, and Ye Yongrui felt relieved.

Compared with their seriousness, Ye Yongwang and his family were very quiet while eating.

Even Ye Chengsi seemed to have sensed everyone's emotions and had to let Nanny Qi hold him while eating without making a fuss.

Compared with the entanglement during the day, Ye Zifei has now settled down.

Ye Ziwei has been in a cold-faced state all day long.

Ye Yongwang feels that he is very incompetent and has accomplished nothing so far. Even his eldest daughter, who has always been proud of him, has become vain.

Zifang didn't speak when she saw her. She just followed everyone's lead, holding her own small bowl and eating the food in the bowl one bite at a time.

Just glance at Ye Zifen from time to time.

She knew that the eldest sister was bullying the fifth sister, but she didn't know what to do.

No one spoke until everyone finished eating.

After the children left, Ye Yongwang said to Ye Zifen: "Tomorrow I will call the people in the village and talk to them about harvesting grain?"

Zi Zifen nodded, "People in the village may not have that much money. Let's lend them money first and ask them to write IOUs and pay them back within a year. If they can't pay back or use the money for other purposes, we can Confiscate their land.”

Ye Yongwang wanted to say that he couldn't use the land as a mortgage, but after thinking about it, he understood his daughter's intention. Only by mortgaging what they cared about most would they do it with all their heart.

Besides, with comparison, they can work harder.

Some people pay back the money early, but some people fail to pay it back. What a loss of face!

"Okay, I will also collect food tomorrow. If I take the lead, they should be less afraid."

Ye Zifen actually admires Ye Yongwang's attitude of leading by example.

Asked: "Do you need me to come with you?"

Ye Yongwang shook his head, "Why are you following a girl? I can just go find Zitong."

Why is it Ye Zitong? Because no one else is doing business, only Zi Tong has taken this path, so he will take Zi Tong to experience and practice together.

After all, he has already started a curtain business, and now the income from curtain coverings can fully support the Ye family's expenses.

Ye Yongwang plans to save some more money and buy two shops for Ye Zifei when she gets married. The dowry for his daughters must be almost enough.

Ye Zi and Hou Tian left. There should be nothing to do tomorrow, so Ye Zifen agreed.

The night was dark, and Ye Yongwang didn't say much, "You go to bed early and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

After Ye Zifen sent him out, she closed the door.

She did not rest immediately after returning to the room. She promised to install an iron pipe hot water pouring device for the girls, and she must keep her promise.

Then he took out a piece of paper and started writing and drawing.

Her daring to do this was entirely inspired by wine and distillation.

So she began to modify it according to the distillation equipment, first getting out the heating equipment.

The heating device should not be placed in a room where fabrics are being weaved and dyed, as this can easily cause a fire.

It is best to place the heating equipment outside the side of the girls' rest room, so that it can provide hot water and burn the kang, killing two birds with one stone.

Then there is the direction and location of the iron pipe.

Her principle is that the iron pipes run against the wall, so that it does not affect everyone's work and the room can be warmed as quickly as possible.

Just like the principle of the fire wall.

I thought in my heart: 'When building a house in the future, you must have a fire wall, just like their yard, which is not cold at all and saves firewood. ’

But the project of rebuilding the house is too big, so let’s talk about it later!

After two hours of struggle, the prototype of an iron pipe for heat conduction was finally completed.

After rubbing her stiff shoulders, Ye Zifen could finally rest with peace of mind.
