Parents are busy farming

The time for rest always flies by, and the end of the year is here in a blink of an eye.

Because the Hong family is the farthest away from them, Ye Zifen and Wang Hong discussed sending the New Year's gift there in advance.

When Mrs. Wang Hong saw the New Year's gift prepared by Ye Zifen for the Hong family, she was surprised and said sourly: "You have prepared too comprehensively. Look at me again, as if I am not buying a New Year's gift for my mother's family. Still. Yes, when the time comes I want to see what you have prepared for me. If it is worse than this, you can just wait for me."

Ye Zifen answered dumbfounded: "I didn't prepare anything, I just prepared two pieces of silk and satin produced in my own farm for grandma, and the rest is wine, which we have every year, and six sheep barrels, our own It is also convenient to raise a sheep on Zhuangzi."

"I won't ask you what kind of silk and satin you prepared for your grandma. It must have been prepared in advance. Now your grandma is the only one who has such treatment. Let me see other people, don't even think about it."

After Wang Hong said sourly, Ye Zifen asked, "Are you jealous of grandma?"

Wang Hong admitted openly: "Yes, I am jealous. I want you to design a separate one for me so that I can make clothes for my daughter-in-law in the future."

Ye Zifen quickly praised: "Auntie, you can wear anything well. You don't have to be frightened when meeting your daughter-in-law. Your aura is right here! As for designing a separate silk satin, I will discuss it with the girls to design it for you when I get back." One that suits your temperament comes out.”

Wang Hongshi continued, "Little girl, you said this, and I take it seriously. I will wait at home to see when you will bring me the fabric I want."

Ye Zifen shook her head helplessly, 'Old child, old child, you are not old yet, you are becoming more and more like a child. ’

After sending away the New Year's gift to the Hong family, Wang Hong asked Ye Zifen to stay with the Wang family for a few days.

Ye Zifen could refuse, "I won't go. I'll go during the Chinese New Year. It seems that cousin Chuanxing won't be able to come back this year."

"The letter from Chuanxing said that he will not come back this year. He will come back for the provincial examination in August next year. It seems that next year will be a busy year! Your second and third cousins ​​are also going to take the scholar examination." Wang Hong sighed with emotion.

Zi Zifen said: "This is a good thing. It means that my cousin is becoming more and more capable, and you are becoming more and more like an old feudal lord."

Wang Hongshi pretended to be angry and said: "Are you saying that I am getting older?"

Ye Zifen strongly denied it, "No, absolutely not. How can my aunt grow old when she is so young? When we are together, others say you are my sister."

Then he was amused by Ye Zifen's dog-legged appearance, "Okay, stop playing tricks. The children are getting married, how can I not grow old? You see you have grown into a tall and graceful girl now, otherwise We’re going to get married in a few years!”

Zi Zifen didn't know how to answer, so she just lowered her head. Outsiders thought she was shy!

"Okay, since you're not going to Wang's house, then go back. It's very cold." Wang Hong said quickly when she saw that Ye Zifen was silent.

Ye Zifen helped Wang Hong get into the car first, and there was a little girl and a driver standing beside the car.

"Be sure to take good care of your wife on the road!" Ye Zifen told the little girl.

Then he gave the coachman another five cents before sending them off.

Zi Zifen did not go home, but hurriedly went to Liu Meng'er to design a new set of patterns for Wang Hong.

Liu Meng'er happened to come up with a few new flower designs recently, and she just made them for Ye Zifen to take a look at.

Ye Zifen sighed: "You are so active, what will the remaining people do? By the way, what about the new ones?"

She hasn't come back since she sent those twenty or so people to Zhuangzi last time.

She remembered that one of them was quite ambitious, so she asked with concern.

"Basically, they are honest and obedient. Those who are ambitious have been beaten down by the old employees and have lost their confidence. To be honest, our place relies on craftsmanship to make a living. If you are ambitious, don't be afraid. As long as you do your current job well, then think about it. There is no problem with other ways out.”

Liu Meng'er just clicked a few words without saying anything clearly, but Ye Zifen already understood the meaning of her words.

"If there are any that are not suitable for working here, send them back to Yazi. I told you this when I bought them. You're welcome and don't care about anyone's face." Ye Zifen said seriously.

Maybe Liu Meng'er herself was the one who was bought. They knew what the end of the road was at Ren Yazi's place, so they couldn't bear to send back the girl who came here.

Ye Zifen was worried about this, so she never took Liu Menger with her.

"Don't worry, Miss. I'm not someone who doesn't know the importance. I just think I can still win them over, so naturally I don't want to give up on them." Liu Meng'er quickly explained.

Ye Zifen definitely does not have the confidence of Liu Meng'er in this regard. Maybe she has seen the indifference of the world and knows that a person's character will not change at all because of the changes of others.

So Ye Zifen reminded Liu Meng'er: "Don't let your momentary softness harm more people!"

Where was Liu Meng'er stunned? She knew that Ye Zifen wanted her to send the girl away. But the girl has now fully mastered it, and it would be a pity to send her away now.

Seeing the regret in Liu Meng'er's eyes, Zi Zifen stopped forcing her and just said: "Since you can't bear to send him back, then you have to promise to keep her here for the rest of her life, otherwise once you let her go free. This kind of person is likely to She will retaliate against us. When the craftsmanship is revealed, it will not mean that she is responsible for things that are not hers. Do you understand? "

Liu Meng'er nodded, indicating that she knew what to do.

Ye Zi patted her shoulder, and then said: "Now that you have paid attention to this matter, I am relieved. Let's go and see the new flower patterns you made. I happened to choose one or two to make for my aunt. Two bolts of satin.”

Then Liu Meng'er brought Ye Zifen to his exclusive room, where eight new flower patterns were already placed.

One of the flowers with a leaf shape on the side caught Ye Zifen’s eye.

It only has that kind of pattern on the edge of the fabric, and the rest of it is plain, but it is precisely because of these leaves on the edge that it becomes the finishing touch.

Ye Zifen walked over, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then said to Liu Meng'er: "This hairstyle looks good, but there is still room for improvement. If you change the shape of the leaf to the shape of a lotus leaf, then in the middle Interspersed with two unopened lotus buds will look better.”

Liu Meng'er was behind Ye Zifen. When she heard her say this, her eyes immediately lit up. Finally, she started to play back the whole process of weaving in her mind, and found that it was not difficult.

So he smiled and said: "Okay, this is not difficult."

Ye Zifen was also satisfied, "Then I'll make two batches. I'll give them to my aunt as a new year's gift."

"Don't worry, Miss, it won't delay things!" Liu Meng'er promised.
