Parents are busy farming

It turned out that he had just gone to notify the tenants in the nearby village to come and help.

After all, the women in their own village are still slightly short of manpower. It might be more efficient to call in more people.

"Miss, you are finally here! Everything here is basically arranged. Let's see how many cotton-padded clothes we can make tonight. If the quantity is not enough, we will think of other ways together in the evening to ensure that we can complete it in three days. Approval for the production of cotton-padded clothes.”

Li Daniu's lips were chapped and flaky, obviously caused by overwork.

Ye Zifen looked at him and couldn't help but sigh softly: "Of course I trust you. Remember to eat something good at night to replenish your strength. I will go back first. If you encounter any difficult problems or need me to take action personally, I can come to you at any time. That’s it for me.”

At this moment, Ye Zifen deeply realized that giving them full trust is the greatest respect and attention to them.

Although I have been away from home for the past six months, everything at home has still been taken care of in an orderly manner. Isn't this the best proof?

Thinking of this, Ye Zifen felt a warm current in her heart, and she felt very relieved at the same time.

Three days later, the sun was shining brightly, and Ye Zifen finally arrived at Zhuangzi.

In the past three days, except for one time on the first day when she was really worried and came to check, the rest of the time she was busy dealing with her own chores.

Every day, she could only learn about the progress of making cotton-padded clothes from Lu Zili who came home.

Of course, this was what Ye Zifen specifically asked Lu Zili to pay attention to. Although she did not personally come to exert pressure, she could not completely ignore it.

The next day, Ye Zifen went to Wangjiazhuang and spent the whole day with Wang Tingfeng and Wang Hongshi.

She conveyed her third cousin's instructions to them, and heard from their words the news that her fourth cousin was about to return.

These were all expected by Ye Zifen and did not bring too many surprises.

At this moment, the most gratifying thing is that when the county government's carriage arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, a full 10,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes were already prepared inside.

In addition, some people wearing armor arrived, presumably the ones responsible for sending these cotton-padded clothes to the border.

Ye Zifen originally wanted to inquire about the situation of the people they sent, but in the end he did not ask.

Presumably, they don't know the reason for this, or even if they know, they don't dare to talk nonsense easily. They should just wait for the letter from home quietly!

After all the vehicles stopped, people in Zhuangzi began to pass out the bundled cotton clothes one by one.

Packages shaped like tofu blocks were delivered one after another. In each tofu block, there were twenty pieces of cotton-padded clothes stacked neatly and tied tightly with discarded cloth strips to make them airtight.

Those wearing armor took advantage of this gap to reach out and pinch the texture of these cotton-padded clothes, feeling soft and comfortable to the touch.

However, he still had some lingering doubts and wanted to tear it open to check. Seeing this, Ye Zifen was afraid that he had really damaged it.

He quickly said: "Li Daniu, do you have any extra cotton clothes?"

The man looked at Zi Zifen and when he saw Zi Zifen looking at him, he put down his hand in a nonchalant manner.

Li Daniu replied respectfully: "Miss, there are more than a dozen items, but they haven't been packed yet due to insufficient quantity."

Ye Zifen smiled slightly and said softly: "There is no need to pack it anymore, it can just be given to you adults."

After Li Daniu heard this, he immediately ran into the village and returned in a hurry with more than a dozen cotton-padded clothes.

Since they are not folded, the entirety of these cotton coats is clearly visible.

The length of these cotton-padded clothes is about the knee of an average man. The outer layer is cut from linen cloth that is carefully woven with hemp threads. It is tight and solid. You can feel the durability of the cloth just from the appearance.

Li Daniu's eyes were sharp, and he deliberately unbuttoned a cotton-padded coat, revealing the lining inside.

Surprisingly, the fabric used for the lining is actually soft and comfortable cotton, and you can feel its delicate texture when you touch it.

Moreover, since it has not been flattened and stacked, it can be clearly seen that the thickness of the cotton coat is considerable.

Ye Zifen smiled and said: "The weather is cold now. I see that none of you are wearing cotton-padded clothes. Why don't you give it a try."

Upon hearing this, several men in armor immediately looked at the general standing side by side with Magistrate Su.

After getting the general's approval, they quickly took off their armor and put on cotton-padded clothes.

When everyone put on cotton-padded clothes, their faces showed a look of surprise. One of them even couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "It's so warm!"

Hearing this, Zi Zifen smiled slightly, turned to the general and said: "All cotton clothes have the same thermal performance. They are filled with this year's new cotton, so it will not be a problem to wear them for three or four years."

The general did not respond verbally, but turned his attention to Magistrate Su, as if hoping he would make a promise.

Ye Zifen's expression did not change. She also looked at Magistrate Su, waiting for his statement.

Magistrate Su saw the two of them looking at each other, with a gentle smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand, pointed at Ye Zifen and said: "This is my mother's goddaughter, and she is also the niece of the Minister of Household Affairs. She has the most mellow character, and everything she says and does is sincere and trustworthy. Since she said so, Then there will never be any false elements. You can rest assured to check them one by one."

The general seemed slightly surprised, but then nodded solemnly to show his trust.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, her eyes showing confidence and determination.

Li Daniu stared at the scene in front of him, the tension in his heart gradually eased, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

On the other side, one carriage after another was filled with cotton-padded clothes.

As time passed, more and more satisfaction gradually appeared on the general's face.

After all the cotton-padded clothes were loaded, the general turned to Magistrate Su and Ye Zifen and said, "I have heard about Miss Ye for a long time, and your reputation is also spread among the army. Among the new soldiers, there are Some people with great skills say that they have received your careful guidance. I am really shocked to see you in person today. However, I hope Miss Ye will not be surprised."

Ye Zifen shook her head slightly and replied firmly: "I understand your position, please don't worry about it."

Her eyes are clear and candid, which makes people respect her.

The general said solemnly: "The border is in danger, the situation is urgent, we must set off immediately. In addition, all the soldiers you sent to the border have been incorporated into the vanguard. In the last battle, they performed bravely and made great achievements, and there were no casualties. , please rest assured.”
