Parents are busy farming

Ye Zifen slept very well last night. It was the first time in a long time that she slept peacefully in her bed at home.

The painful experience of sleeping tied up at sea in the past was still deeply imprinted in her body memory.

Since going to the capital and returning to the capital, she has had almost no time to stop and rest.

He was either rushing on the road or on night duty. Only on the night of Fu Ke Lai did he have the chance to lie in bed and rest for a while.

It felt so good to be able to lie in bed and enjoy a peaceful sleep again, but a little greed deep in my heart also emerged.

However, she quickly pushed that thought aside.

After all, now is not the time to relax and enjoy herself. Compared with the immediate comfort, she longs for a free and unfettered life more.

So, Ye Zifen overcame her laziness, quickly got up, dressed, and prepared to start a new day.

When she walked out of the room, Mrs. Feng had already gotten up and prepared water for washing her face.

Seeing Ye Zifen, Mrs. Feng smiled and said, "Young lady, you are up! Why don't you sleep a little longer? I haven't prepared breakfast yet, please wait a moment."

Ye Zifen took Mrs. Feng's hand and said, "Mother Feng, stop working. I'll go to the county to eat in a while. I was so tired from cooking such a large table of dishes yesterday. Take a good rest today. But I'm not sure whether I should leave today or tomorrow. I'm sorry to trouble you every time I come back."

When Mrs. Feng heard Ye Zifen say that she was leaving in the next two days, she felt very reluctant to let her go.

I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you leaving so soon?"

As she spoke, she handed Ye Zifen a towel and said, "Miss, you have worked so hard. We can live a stable life now, all thanks to you. We rest at home every day, but let Miss go out to suffer. We are really a burden to you!"

Ye Zifen gently shook her head and consoled her, "Mother Feng, don't say that. I'm actually very happy to have someone to protect me. Besides, this is my home! I have family members waiting for me and caring about me. This is my blessing."

After hearing this, Mrs. Feng was so moved that tears filled her eyes.

The greatest blessing in her life was meeting a good person like Ye Zifen in her later years.

She hadn't thought about her dead relatives for a long time, but at this moment, she felt extremely happy and content.

Just as Mrs. Feng was smiling, Ye Zifen had already quickly hung the towel on the place where towels were usually hung in the yard.

Then she smiled and waved to Mrs. Feng, and left without looking back.

By the time Mrs. Feng came to her senses, Ye Zifen had already walked out of the house.

As Ye Zifen walked out of the village, she heard an urgent call from behind her.

She stopped and turned around, only to see Pang Chao and Lu Zili chasing after her in a hurry.

When the two finally caught up to Ye Zifen, Lu Zili panted and said, "I knew you would get up early. When we separated last night, we agreed to get up earlier today. Sure enough, I guessed right."

Ye Zifen smiled helplessly and said, "I just want to leave early and don't want everyone at home to revolve around me. I guess my dad and the others are here by now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Liu Meng'er and Ye Zifang chasing after her from behind.

"Oh, there are two more." Ye Zifen said with a wry smile.

When Liu Meng'er and Ye Zifang approached, Ye Zifen said to them, "You don't have to get up so early. I got up early because I wanted to read the letter that Magistrate Su left for me. You just need to get up at your usual time and go to the county."

Ye Zifang said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I only get up so early occasionally. The main reason is that I want to spend more time with you. And you didn't even call me when you got up. If I hadn't chatted with Mrs. Feng just now, I might still be lying in bed now!"

By the end of her speech, her voice had become very low, as if she was complaining quietly.

Hearing this, Ye Zifen smiled helplessly, and then said: "Well! Since you are up, let's go to the county together! It's a good opportunity for us to go shopping together."

So, several people set out for the county town together.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

They are all young people, full of energy and vigor, as if injecting vitality into this quiet morning.

As they walked, Ye Zifen suddenly turned to look at Lu Zili and Pang Chao beside them and asked curiously, "By the way, do you usually help take care of the children when you go home?"

Upon hearing this, the two nodded in affirmation.

Pang Chao smiled and replied, "Of course! After all, we are fathers, and we can't leave all the responsibility of taking care of the children to our wives. But your yard is too small, and the servants have no place to stay. So my wife only brought a maid to help with cooking, cleaning, etc., and occasionally help take care of the children. But most of the time, my wife is the only one taking care of the children. If I don't help when I come back, she will be exhausted. Fortunately, my mother-in-law often comes to see us and can help take care of the children."

After listening to Pang Chao's words, Ye Zifen continued to ask: "So what do you think it feels like to take care of a child?"

Pang Chao chuckled and replied, "I think my little brat is quite funny. He is naughty sometimes, but you can't help but want to tease him. Watching him grow up day by day, I feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment."

After listening to this, Ye Zifen nodded to show her understanding, then turned to look at Lu Zili.

Lu Zili continued, "On weekdays, there are many people at home, and many people take care of the child, but in order to prevent everyone from spoiling him too much, whether it is me or Ziyi at home, we will take the child into the study and read to him."

Ye Zifen shook her head and sighed, "The child is still so young, and you're already teaching him to read. You're too impatient. But it's human nature to worry about a child being overly spoiled. After all, he's the first child in your family! By the way, how is Ziyi doing recently?"

Lu Ziyi is not old, but not young either.

Lu Zili replied, "He has gone to study at a private school in the county and comes home every five days. By the way, I bought a house in the county, and my mother will go over to see him occasionally."

Ye Zifen didn't care where Lu Zili bought the house. She continued to ask about Lu Ziyi's situation, "How is Ziyi doing in school?"

Lu Zili said confidently: "His teacher thinks highly of him. As for how far he will go in the future, no one can predict. But as long as I still have the ability, I will definitely support him in his studies with all my strength."

Ye Zifen nodded, "Everyone who studies is like this."
