Parents are busy farming

When the mutton is cooked, the whole fishing village can smell the tempting aroma.

Someone in the village came to find out what was going on. Knowing that the woman's family was moving today, they spread the news to each other.

Immediately afterwards, villagers came to the door with things.

Compared to what the caravan brought, what they brought was much shabby.

But it is said that etiquette is less important than affection. From the blessings of the villagers, we can see how popular the woman's family is in the village.

As for someone coming to eat some mutton, it's not impossible, but people shouldn't worry about it, let alone just for a little food and drink.

Besides, isn’t the banquet just for fun?

Zhang Gaoyi and the Mo family's father and son came together. Zhang Gaoyi gave him twenty coins as a gift, while the Mo family brought a live hen.

He said: "Whether you want to raise or kill, it's up to the master."

The family has just been separated and a house has just been built. If there is a hen in the house, he can lay eggs and sell them for money in the future.

So no one mentioned eating chicken at all.

Everyone in the caravan came empty-handed, because the fragrant mutton took advantage of the caravan's rations.

Li Zheng also came at this time, delivering a small bag of grain.

The woman did not expect that so many people would come to the house, so she decided to eat on the flowing water mat.

The people from the caravan arrived early, so they started eating first.

So Ye Zifen gave him another cut of the mutton, and they only cut half of it, but the sorghum rice was enough.

Fortunately, everyone knew what was going on and no one cared about it.

While they were eating, Li Laosi found his land and told him and his parents about taking him back.

"Children should always go out and experience the vastness outside. Don't be like a frog in a well. Don't worry, although the apprentice will not be paid for three years, I am not the one who tricks people. In the spring, he will follow our construction team Come back and build a house for the caravan. We don’t work there in the winter, so don’t worry, your children won’t be tired.”

After hearing this, the woman said: "We have nothing to worry about. You can just take him with you. As the saying goes, once a teacher is a lifelong father, we can let our children worship you as their teacher, which means we trust you. As for whether he will be affected, people should When you are tired, you will suffer. If he does something bad in the future, you should teach him more confidently than us." (It means don't be soft when you should hit or scold)

Li Laosi's apprentice also said: "Master, I will go with you."

There are no unnecessary words, but I am infinitely grateful to Li Laosi.

The master was a big help for their family to live in a new house. He learned a lot just while building this house.

He could also see that the master had no secrets at all.

Li Laosi touched his head and said, "Okay, let's pack up in the next two days. The caravan will set off soon."

After everyone had dinner, Ye Zifen left with them.

The next day, Ye Zifen came to the doctor's house carrying a jar of wine.

As for the jar of wine, Mu Hongzhou secretly hid it in the carriage and planned to drink it on the way.

But she was afraid that the aroma of the wine would be too strong and might be smelled by her fellow apprentices, so she never drank it.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zifen dug it out. Today I happened to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

"Why did the girl come to the door with something today?" The doctor was sitting in the yard playing with his herbs.

Ye Zifen put the wine jar on the chess table, "I'm about to leave, and the earliest I can come back is next spring. I came here today to say goodbye, and secondly, I hope you can go to the village to see the patient when you have time."

The doctor nodded, put down the herbs in his hand, clapped his hands, came to the table, leaned close to the jar and smelled it.

"Yeah! Good wine, I can smell the aroma of the wine before I even open it."

Ye Zifen nodded, "I'll bring it to you next year, this year it's just these."

"These are enough, I'll just taste them slowly. Don't worry about the rest. Since I promised you to keep him alive for two years, I won't break my promise!"

After hearing what he said, Ye Zifen bowed respectfully to him.

"Thank you! See you soon!"

The doctor waved his hand without looking at her.

Ye Zifen returned to the homestead, and the rest of the caravan followed the people in the village to the beach.

Seeing that there was no one else around, she took out the paper and decided to write a letter to the eldest uncle of the Hong family.

When the caravan passed through the town, she sent the letter out, which also saved some time.

The letter first contained greetings to the Hong family, and then straightforwardly explained to him that he needed iron to build a ship.

He brought a little bit of his own ideas, and vaguely asked the Hong family's views on the establishment of a sea ban.

From the time I started writing to the time I finished writing, it took me half an hour.

The paper was so thick that it could barely seal the envelope.

Those who didn't know thought that Ye Zifen was chatting with the Hong family.

Little did they know, the arrival of this letter caused quite a stir in the Hong family.

First it was the eldest man of the Hong family. After reading it, he cautiously gave the letter to Mr. Hong.

After reading the letter, Mr. Hong only said one sentence: "He has the ambition and wisdom of his grandfather and aunt."

Afterwards, the second master of the Hong family was very excited after reading it and said with emotion: "If Xiao Wu were a man, he should enter the cabinet and pay homage to the prime minister."

Later, Mr. Hong asked the eldest son of the Hong family to secretly send this letter to the palace.

Outsiders don't know what happened in the palace. They only know that what Ye Zifen wanted was sent to the beach a month later.

At that time, Ma Fengchun, Zhang Gaoyi, and Liu Jiancai were all helping to build ships at the beach.

Returning to the present, Ye Zifen finished writing the letter, put it away, and went to find Ye Zihong.

It happened that Ye Zihong and Ye Zimeng had just returned from the village.

"Third cousin, when this caravan goes back, I want you to keep an eye on it. After all, we already have too many things here. The caravan will come back again, and Zhang Gaoyi will stay when the time comes. Go back with the caravan."

After Ye Zihong understood what Ye Zifen meant, he said, "When will the caravan come back?"

Ye Zifen replied: "Next spring."

"Is Zhang Gaoyi celebrating the New Year here?" Zimeng asked.

Ye Zifen nodded, "Yes!"

Ye Zihong said: "Do you want me to stay with him here?"

Ye Zifen shook her head, "No, today's Chinese New Year is your first year back. Everyone will come back then. Let's get together. Maybe it will be difficult to get together in the future. Don't miss it." This opportunity. In addition, if you keep one more person, you will have to prepare one more person's rations, which is troublesome!"

Ye Zihong, who was still moved at first, suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked Ye Zifen's head when he heard the second half of Ye Zifen's words.

Fortunately, Zhang Gaoyi saw this scene and hurried over to protect Ye Zifen after the sale.

Zi Zifen poked her head out from behind Zhang Gaoyi and said to Zi Zihong: "Third cousin, I'm worried about your future marriage. If you act like this in the future, you will easily be disliked by girls."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, and Ye Zimeng did the same. Obviously the two of them agreed with what Ye Zifen said.
