Parents are busy farming

Magistrate Su saw Ye Zifen's expression and understood her worries.

He sighed and said: "Xiao Wu, you don't have to worry too much. I have already sent the Yamen to inquire at the pier, but the ship that just arrived doesn't seem to know what news is there, and it will take two more days. As for I don’t think it’s necessary to send a ship south, I guess the news from the south should be able to arrive in two days.”

Ye Zifen listened and nodded.

Su County Magistrate said: "I think the officials in the court must have listened to the opinions and made preparations in advance. If the precipitation in the south increases, they put the excess water into the canal, which will also ease the problem for us in the north." water shortage problem."

This was the solution they discussed at the time, but Ye Zifen was still worried about the situation in the south and didn't know if this solution could solve the problem.

Magistrate Su said to himself: "It's a pity that we have just dug a few reservoirs and they have not been completed yet. If we hadn't suddenly arrested soldiers, we would have completed at least several reservoirs and could store some water."

There was regret in his voice.

Zi Zifen comforted: "It's too late to repair it now. By the way, try to notify every village in the county and seize the time to store water in the ponds in the village."

Magistrate Su's eyes lit up when he heard this. He glanced at Ye Zifen gratefully and said, "You are still thoughtful. If you can store some water, you can also alleviate the problem of water shortage."

Zi Zifen said: "There is no other way. I hope we can store more water here to solve our urgent need."

Magistrate Su became anxious after he had the idea, and then said to Ye Zifen: "I will quickly find someone to inform the villages below. You don't need to come and notify me when you leave. You can decide for yourself. I will go back to the Yamen first."

Looking at Su County Magistrate Ye Zifen who left in a hurry, he also knew that he decided to stay and accompany his godmother because the head of a county was busy.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Ying asked Ye Zimeng to deliver the pills she prepared to the county government.

After Ye Zimeng completed the task, he left, but Ye Zifen stayed.

After getting the medicine, Ye Zifen watched Mrs. Su take it with her own eyes, and then asked with concern: "How is it? How do you feel?"

Mrs. Su looked at her anxious look and said with a smile: "What a magical medicine. You will feel the sensation immediately after taking it. You have to take it and see!"

After hearing this, Zi Zifen felt that Mrs. Su's words were very reasonable, so she did not rush to ask anymore, but continued to chat with Mrs. Su.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Su suddenly said: "I feel warm and very comfortable now."

When Ye Zifen heard this, an expression of surprise immediately burst out on her face.

Looking at Mrs. Su again, she also had a smile on her face.

Ye Zifen gently massaged Mrs. Su's shoulders and said with concern: "Godmother, since you feel better, just continue to eat. The master said that he will come back to check your pulse in ten days and adjust the prescription. Next, you have to be obedient."

Her technique was light and gentle, making Mrs. Su feel an inexplicable sense of comfort and relaxation.

Mrs. Su nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I will take the medicine well and cooperate with Dr. Shangguan, don't worry!"

Ye Zifen looked at Mrs. Su's face and found that her face was indeed much better than in the morning, and she felt a little relieved in her heart.

She observed for a while and found that there was nothing abnormal about Mrs. Su's body, and then she left with peace of mind.

In the evening, after Magistrate Su came back, he immediately came to Mrs. Su's yard.

After learning from the maids that he felt better after taking the medicine, he was relieved.

He walked into the room and saw Mrs. Su resting, so he gently walked to her bed and held her hand.

Mrs. Su was awakened by Magistrate Su's actions. When she saw Magistrate Su, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She said softly: "Jincheng, you are back."

Magistrate Su nodded and said, "Godmother, how do you feel now?"

Mrs. Su said: "I feel better, thanks to Dr. Shangguan's prescription. I feel like my sleep is much better."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Su felt happy and said, "That's good. As long as you get better, I'll be relieved."

Mrs. Su said: "My son, don't worry too much, I will take good care of myself. You should also pay attention to your body and don't work too hard."

Magistrate Su said: "Mother, I understand, don't worry."

Magistrate Su chatted with Mrs. Su for a while until she fell asleep again.

He walked out of the room.

Back home, Ye Zifen was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Her mind was filled with various images, including floods in the south, drought in the north, the suffering of the people, and the efforts of officials.

Their images kept flashing in Ye Zifen's mind, and she seemed to be in those disaster areas, witnessing everything happening with her own eyes.

Floods occurred, homes were destroyed, and people stood helplessly in the water, watching helplessly as their homes were swept away by the floods.

Their faces were filled with horror and despair, and their eyes were filled with tears.

On the dry land, the seedlings are withered and yellow, and people's lips are chapped. They are longing for water and the hope of survival.

In a hazy state, it was finally dawn.

Ye Zifen got up early, washed herself briefly and then arrived at the county seat.

She went to see Li Song first and asked him to seize the time to inquire about the situation in the south. She told Li Song that she must find out the specific situation in the south.

They can adopt different coping strategies. Whether it is raw silk or grain, her business is now closely related to the south.

Later, Ye Zifen went to see Lu Zili and asked him to hurry up and contact the Bai family to see their situation in the south.

Ye Zifen said: "If necessary, I can send a special boat to pick them up."

Her words were a guarantee, giving the worried Lu Zili peace of mind.

Zi Zifen went to see Ma Fengchun and Mr. Mo again.

When she arrived, the two of them were teaching the newly purchased father and son how to assemble the rudder.

Ma Fengchun patiently explained every step, while Mr. Mo added some key details from time to time.

The father listened attentively, while the son curiously played with the tools beside him, his eyes shining with longing for the future.

Ye Zifen glanced at it from a distance, feeling warm in her heart.

Later, Ye Zifen left Ma Fengchun and Mo Lao, and finally came to the county government.

She first went to the back office to watch Mrs. Su take the medicine, and then went to the office. She wanted to ask Magistrate Su about the situation in the south.

When she saw Magistrate Su, he was also anxiously waiting for news. His face was full of fatigue and worry, and his eyes revealed concern for the situation in the south.
