Parents are busy farming

Chapter 13 Meeting the eldest sister

Zhi Xuan has been feeling very uncomfortable these days, as if something has happened.

But Zhang Huaiyu didn't do anything special in the yamen, and there was no news from her parents' family. She just thought it was because she was worried about her pregnancy!

As a result, Zhang Huaiyu had someone bring the news that he would not be back for lunch, and her heart arose again.

It wasn't until Zhang Huaiyu left the office at night that she found the opportunity to ask him.

At first he insisted that it was okay, but his guilty expression did not escape her eyes.

Under her serious expression, Zhang Huaiyu had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"My aunt passed away a few days ago. The Ye family was worried about your pregnancy and mood swings, so they didn't tell you. Today, that little girl Zifen asked her uncle and me to go back and drive the family back to Luzhai."

When Zixuan heard that her aunt had passed away, tears fell from her eyes like a bursting dam.

Zhang Huaiyu was so busy wiping her tears that he didn't know how to comfort her.

Fortunately, Zixuan knew that she was pregnant and should not be too sad, so she cried for a while and controlled herself.

After she stopped crying, Zhang Huaiyu carefully handed her a glass of water.

Zhi Xuan was still blaming him for hiding it from her, so she twisted her body and looked away.

Zhang Huaiyu was about to apologize when Zixuan turned around again.

"You said it was Zifen who came to find you. Is the matter resolved?" Zixuan looked at Zhang Huaiyu and asked.

"Well! This little girl is not an ordinary clever girl. After the matter was solved, she even invited us to have a meal at Fushou Tower!" Zhang Huaiyu sighed.

Hearing Zhang Huaiyu's praise, Zixuan finally felt relieved and showed a little smile.

"Send a message to the rusher tomorrow and ask Zifen to come over. I'll always feel uneasy if I don't hear what she says personally." When Zhi Xuan said this, her tone was full of coquettishness.

"Okay, I'll notify you tomorrow!" Zhang Huaiyu quickly agreed, finally making his wife happy and relieved.

"Old man, tomorrow you take Yongfu to the mountains to chop some firewood and come back. Our family doesn't have much firewood left." Mrs. Lu Li entered the house and said to Lu Dashan, who was sitting on the kang and smoking a dry cigarette.

"Okay!" Lu Dashan agreed.

It has been many years since he went to the mountains. Ever since he was almost in danger on the mountains that year, he has been reluctant to go back.

In the Ye family, the firewood for the fire was chopped back from the mountains by Ye Yongwang's hired laborers.

"Our Yongfu should do some work, he has been idle all these years." Lu Dashan said with emotion.

"He would have been unwilling to do anything if he had hope before. Now he is the main force in the family and will grow up." Mrs. Lu was still unwilling to admit the fact that her youngest son was lazy and lazy.

"I hope so!" Lu Dashan knocked out the ashes from the pot on the edge of the kang.

Ye Zifen went to the kitchen to cook, and Ye Yongwang went back to the main room to set up the kang table. We will eat on the kang tonight. The dining room is a bit cold.

After the family finished eating, they slept on the kang and had a good night's sleep.

After breakfast the next day, Ye Zifen went to a chicken farmer’s house in the village and bought back seven old hens.

"Why did you buy so many chickens? They won't lay eggs at this time." Ye Zifei asked.

"Bring one to eldest sister today, feed the others first, and then take them over after eldest sister gives birth."

Ye Zifen said and put the remaining six chickens into the chicken coop, and took the remaining one away shortly.

"But none of us know how to feed it!" Ye Zifei said following behind Zhi Fen.

Ye Zifen went to the backyard to set up a car with Ye Yongwang. Today Ye Yongwang went to buy a tank and hire a long-term worker.

"It's okay. I've already asked how to feed him. Don't worry, just leave it to me!" Ye Zifen said as she walked.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifei stopped and returned to the house.

Ye Zifen is going to the county town to visit her sister, and she also needs to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. There is not much of these spices left after yesterday’s meal.

Some of the seasonings even had to be purchased at the drugstore, so she put a twenty-tael silver note in her sleeve pocket.

There were more than three taels of broken silver in the purse.

It can be said that her family is considered a wealthy family now. They have the Ye family's property on top, their mother's dowry fields and several shops in the county. Their life is still very rich, but they don't dare to spend so much money.

Now that people are jealous and let outsiders know that the family has so much money, then they have to be wary of attracting thieves and some untouchable relatives to come to borrow money!

After Ye Zifen and Ye Yongwang went out at the same time, Ye Zifei closed the door.

When the father and daughter separated at the entrance of the village, Ye Zifen said to her father: "Remember to buy a few more jars and I will pickle some vegetables with other flavors. Winter has just begun, so don't run out of vegetables."

After hearing this, Ye Yongwang nodded and walked on another path.

Ye Zifen also flicked his whip to speed up the donkey cart and headed towards the county seat.

That year, the second and fourth sisters passed away and Zifen was only five years old. She happened to go to the temple to stay with her aunt and eldest sister for two days.

Unexpectedly, I went there for two days. When I came back, I saw the cold bodies of the second sister and the fourth sister.

I heard from the third sister that the fourth sister went into the water to save Zili who fell into the water. After Zili was rescued, she had no strength, so the second sister went into the water to save the fourth sister again.

The second sister was weak and had a fever when she came back. The fourth sister also developed a fever because she had been soaked in water for too long.

Mrs. Lu thought it was the fourth sister who pushed Lu Zili into the water, and refused to let Ye Yongwang go to ask for the doctor. However, the people in the village couldn't bear it and told the truth. Zili was trying to pick up the straw that fell into the water for his younger brother. The Grasshopper slipped and fell into the river.

Mrs. Lu and Li just let Ye Yongwang leave, but after the doctor arrived, there was no way he could be saved.

At that time, the third sister hated herself so much that she didn't know how to drive a car and didn't know how to get to the doctor's house.

After my aunt returned home, she rarely lost her temper. Several girls in the Ye family also began to learn how to drive, fearing that something like this would happen again.

This is also the reason why Ye Zifen drives the car.

Ye Zifen raised her head and saw the towering city wall in the distance. The gray donkey walked towards the gate of the city wall step by step.

It seemed like I was getting further and further away from that black night.

After Ye Zifen paid money and entered the city, she did not rush to her eldest sister's house. Instead, she went to the best snack shop in the county and bought two packs of good pastries before going to her eldest sister's house.

When Zi Zifen knocked on the door, an old woman hurriedly came over to open the door. This old woman was bought by her aunt when her sister got married.

My aunt used her family's savings to marry her eldest sister to a shop and an old woman, which was the greatest protection for her beloved eldest granddaughter.

This made Lu Lianhua jealous for a long time, and made Lu Li dissatisfied to this day.

"Hey! Miss Fifth, you are here. Come in quickly. Madam has read it several times," the old woman said.

"Grandma Liu, thank you for your hard work." She said and handed over a purse with five cents in it.

Mrs. Liu happily accepted it, and Ye Zifen handed the old hen and snacks to Mrs. Liu and walked towards the main room.

The door curtain of the main room was opened, and it was the eldest sister Zhi Xuan who was looking here.

"It's cold outside, don't stand by the door!" Ye Zifen said and entered the house.

Sitting on the seat was a middle-aged and elderly woman with wrinkles on her face and a slightly thin body. Her lips were pursed and her eyes were staring at her.

Ye Zifen smiled slightly, squatted down and saluted, "My mother-in-law is so strong and upright. She looks like everyone is following her."

As the saying goes, you can wear flattery but never wear it. Who doesn’t like to hear good things?

"You naughty little girl, you haven't been here for a few days, come here and let me take a look." He waved to Ye Zifen.

Ye Zifen quickly handed over his hand and said: "I just bought you chestnut cake from Xu Ji in the county. His chestnut cake is delicious. You can try it later."

"Hey! You're still thinking about me, my old lady, so you have your heart!" Mrs. Zhang Yu said, patting Ye Zifen's hand.

"Hey! Isn't this how it should be!" Ye Zifen showed a charming expression at the right time.

"You girl will definitely be blessed in the future, with a sensible and kind heart!" Zhang Yushi praised.
