Parents are busy farming

Ye Yongwang's face also became ugly. He had been troubled by this matter.

Today, the old lady didn't care about mentioning anything, and her grievances against them that had faded came to the surface again after she made such a fuss.

Those long-lasting memories came back to my mind again.

"What does our pig have to do with you? What we are talking about now is New Year's gifts." Ms. Lu Li was still saying reluctantly.

"Dad, the New Year's gift has been delivered, let's go home! Mom and the others are still waiting for us at home!" Ye Zifen greeted Ye Yongwang to leave.

"Let's eat here before leaving!" Lu Dashan said, pretending to stay.

"What are you going to eat? Bring this to your door. Are you embarrassed to eat at our house?" Ms. Lu Li said back.

Ye Yongwang immediately stood up, pulled Ye Zifen and walked out.

"What evil have I done! I should have strangled you to death for giving birth to such a white-eyed wolf..."

The two of them had already walked out of the Lu family's door, but they could still hear Mrs. Lu's curses.

Several households nearby who were watching the excitement immediately shrank their heads back.

"If we gave them pork, would they still be like this?"

Ye Yongwang seemed to be asking himself, and also seemed to be asking Ye Zifen.

"Whether a person likes you or not does not depend on how much you give her, but because she does not like you."

When Ye Yongwang heard his daughter say this, he turned his head and looked at his daughter seriously.

Then he smiled bitterly, he couldn't see clearly as a child.

"You're right, it's better to have less contact with each other in the future! Let's be sad once."

Ye Yongwang was filled with emotions.

"It's sad because you have expectations for them, expect them to be nice to you, expect them to look at you more, but unfortunately they don't treat you as a son at all, they just treat you as a tool to plunder the Ye family's property."

Ye Zifen's words were like knives, digging out those dark things one by one.

"How can you see so clearly at such a young age!" Ye Yongwang changed the subject.

"What's the difference between me and you? When did you and your mother ever see me? In your eyes, I was smart and capable. But when did you ever feel sorry for me? Did you ever leave the door open for me? Or? Have you ever sympathized with my hard work? No, not at all.”

"Have I ever had a moment of growing up with you? No, I'm just a tool you gave birth to to accompany your aunt."

After Ye Zifen finished speaking expressionlessly, he left, leaving Ye Yongwang alone in the cold wind reflecting on his past actions.

If you think about it carefully, it is true that as Zifen said, they just used a gentler method, but what they did was no different from Lu Li's.

It seems that he wants to go back and talk about these things with his wife.

Villager A: "Hey! Have you heard? The family named Ye was scolded for giving New Year's gifts to his parents."

Villager B: "Why didn't you hear that? It's because the pigs were killed and no pork was given."

Villager C: "Didn't the Lu family capture the old Ye family's pig? Why do we still need pork as a New Year gift?"

Villager A: "You don't know this! I heard that the Ye family bought a pig from Lijiazhuang just to give gifts to people in the county. When Mrs. Lu heard the news, she thought she would give pork to their family. So I sold my own pigs, but it turned out that Mr. Ye’s family didn’t have the skills to beat them.”

Villager C: "There's another thing! The old Lu family doesn't have pork to eat during the Chinese New Year this year! Why do you have such a big face after asking for such a big pig and still thinking about pork!"

Villager: "After all, Lu Dashan is also Ye Yongwang's biological father! Isn't it right for Ye Yongwang to give pork to his biological father?"

Zi Zifen didn't care about the gossips of people outside. After she returned, she began to make plans for tomorrow's meals.

When I gave my sister a gift, she said she would be back tomorrow.

Grind the beans you soaked in the morning and make tofu.

Four plates full of tofu made Ye Zifen’s tired arms sore.

I lay in bed at night and fell asleep within a few moments.

Ye Yongwang and his wife were having a heart-to-heart talk.

Ye Yongwang: "Do you think we are particularly sorry for Xiao Wu?"

Wang Tinghe: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

Ye Yongwang told Wang Tinghe about his visit to the old house today and what Ye Zifen said.

"..."

Originally, Ye Yongwang was reflecting alone, but now Wang Tinghe was added to the list.

*

When Ye Zifen got up the next day, she clearly felt something was wrong with Ye Yongwang and Wang Tinghe.

When eating, he didn't ask her whether she was cold or thirsty.

Ye Yongwang fed the livestock at home and swept the yard without Ye Zifen's reminder.

Always ask Ye Zifen if there is any other work to do.

"Sister and the others will be back today. If anything happens, think about it yourself! I'm very busy and have no time to think about it."

Ye Zifen dealt with the various materials in her hands. Fortunately, she took some time to prepare some yesterday.

At this time, Zizixuan and Zhang Huaiyu hired a carriage and came, but they didn't bring the little one with them today.

The Ye family understands very well. After all, it is not a good thing to run back and forth with such a child in such a cold weather.

Zhi Xuan brought back a lot of things. The Ye family gave Zhi Xuan a front leg, and Zhi Xuan brought back half a piece of pork.

There are also other dried fruit gift boxes, fresh fruit gift boxes, and two jars of good wine.

The most important thing is to bring some walnuts, which are just for Wang Tinghe and Xiao Qi to eat.

It's a big deal for my uncle to come to deliver New Year's gifts, and he must be treated well.

By the way, this is the first time Zhang Huaiyu has come to Ye's house to give New Year's gifts after getting married.

The Zhang family is now headed by Zixuan, firstly because Zixuan has good etiquette and wide connections, and can help Zhang Huaiyu who is in the officialdom.

Second, because Zixuan's dowry was relatively generous, the Zhang family's life was much richer.

So it was not Zixuan who had the final say on what kind of New Year's gift to give to her parents' family.

In addition, the gifts given by the Ye family are not light, so Zhang Yu has no objection at all to giving these annual gifts.

On the contrary, because Ye Zifen sent things to the Ye family every now and then, she felt very embarrassed.

In order to entertain Zhang Huaiyu today, Ye Zifen also used her housekeeping skills.

She plans to make the top ten famous local steamed bowls.

There is a local saying that if you can make these ten steamed bowls, you can be a chef at weddings and weddings. ’

The top ten bowls include steamed pork with rice flour, sweet rice, braised meatballs, tiger skin eggs, steamed chicken nuggets, steamed hairtail fish, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, steamed cubed pork, braised dumplings, and Sixi meatballs.

As soon as Zhi Xuan entered the house, Zhi Fen started to light a fire.

Ye Yongwang and Zhang Huaiyu moved their things into the house, and Weng and his son-in-law began to drink tea in the main room.

Zhi Xuan went into the house, hugged Xiao Qi and talked to her mother for a while.

At first, it was the mother who expressed her longing for her, and then Wang Tinghe suddenly asked a question.

"Boss, do you think your father and I are particularly sorry for Zifen?"

She finally had her eldest daughter back, and she could speak her mind.

But she thought a little differently. She thought Zhi Xuan would think about the problem from her perspective, but she didn't expect that was not the case.

"How did mother realize this problem?" Zhi Xuan asked carefully.

Wang Tinghe is pregnant and not particularly strong, so she needs to be careful when she speaks.

"Alas! Yesterday Zifen told your father that she has no expectations for us anymore!"

Wang Tinghe looked particularly guilty when he said this.
