Parents are busy farming

Some of the children couldn't help but express their curiosity and asked with their big innocent eyes: "Grandma, Grandma, where is our mother? We miss her so much!"

Ye Lan hurriedly comforted them, "Don't worry, my dears. Your mother is not feeling well right now and is resting in the house. Don't worry, your capable fifth aunt will take good care of her. Nothing will happen. And you all know that your fifth aunt is a very capable person, so there is no need to worry. When we set out again, you will be able to see your mother whom you miss so much!"

Although the children felt a little disappointed that they could not see their mother immediately, since Grandma Smurf said so, they chose to believe it.

Then, Ye Lan struck while the iron was hot and turned to the older children and said earnestly, "You, as brothers and sisters, must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of your younger brothers and sisters until we reach our destination. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, several children nodded vigorously without any hesitation to show their agreement and support.

At this time, Ye Zifen was strolling and chatting cordially with her sisters-in-law who had just woken up from a coma and whose faces were as pale as paper.

Ye Zifen did not talk about other topics. All she told were stories about her brothers and nephews.

Ye Zifen told the stories of her brothers in detail, and these were precisely the little details that her wives and sisters-in-law had never known. As for the situations of her nephews, Ye Zifen skillfully guided the sisters-in-law to talk about them voluntarily.

Perhaps in their life journeys, only these two closest relatives - husband and son - occupy the most important and irreplaceable position in their hearts. That is why they are willing to participate in this conversation.

Just like this, a whole hour passed, and Ye Zifen and his group slowly returned.

At this moment, the sun hanging high in the sky has risen very high, and the scorching sunlight shines down, causing the temperature around to rise steadily.

Ye Zifen clearly felt an unbearable heat coming over her, but surprisingly, the hands of those sisters-in-law were still as cold as before, as if they were completely unaffected by the hot climate outside.

At this time, a master came up to Ye Zifen and asked with concern: "Little girl, do you need to rest for another day today?" Ye Zifen thought for a while, and then replied: "It is better to pack your luggage first, and then slow down on the way."

In fact, it was not that Ye Zifen was unwilling to let her sisters-in-law take more rest, but she knew very well that if she paid too much attention to and deliberately took care of their emotions, it might make them feel more nervous and uneasy.

It would be better to let everything take its course. Perhaps they could reach the capital faster and see their long-cherished husbands earlier. Then all their worries and concerns would naturally disappear.

The master opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but finally swallowed it back.

In fact, what he was concerned about was Ye Zifen's reputation.

He was worried that after this incident, these families would have a bad opinion and evaluation of Ye Zifen in the future.

However, clever Ye Zifen had already seen through the master's inner struggle and worries. She raised her lips slightly, revealing an understanding and confident smile, and said softly: "Master, don't worry, the sisters-in-law are in good health, but their mental state has not yet fully recovered. Appreciating different scenery on the way will help them relax and adjust their state."

These words seemed to be an explanation to the master, but also seemed to be spoken specifically to the sisters-in-law present.

After hearing this, the master nodded thoughtfully, indicating his agreement, and then responded: "In that case, I will start to arrange the relevant matters."

Then, Ye Zifen turned her gaze to the sisters-in-law and asked with concern: "Do you want to see the children?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Wan'er shook her head and answered firmly, "No need. If the children saw us like this, they would probably be scared. It would be better to let them continue to follow Zifang and the others. After all, they are more familiar with each other."

Seeing this, the other sisters-in-law also agreed: "Yes, yes, it won't be too late to meet the children after we are in better condition. But when you think about it carefully, we adults are not as mentally strong as these children!"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen's heart was filled with endless sighs. She opened her red lips and said slowly: "After all, these children are still in their naive years and have no clear understanding of the true meaning of fear."

After a short pause, she continued, "Furthermore, due to the long-term influence of the surrounding environment, they frequently go to the training ground to play and have more or less experienced some mental training and polishing."

In this way, when the caravan set off, Ye Zifang and Ye Chengsi were arranged in two carriages respectively, but there were several children in each carriage.

The younger ones rode in the car with Ye Zifang and Liu Meng'er, who could help look after the children a little; while the older ones rode in the car with Ye Chengsi, whose main responsibility was to lead the children in playing and frolicking to prevent them from feeling bored.

By the afternoon of that day, Ye Lan had fully recovered. She began to travel back and forth between the two carriages, keeping an eye on the situation.

Her two precious grandsons happened to be assigned to different vehicles.

Ye Zifen took all of this in sight, but did not say a word. She just continued to move forward with the caravan in silence.

The scene when Ye Yongrui brought Ye Lan and his three cousins ​​back in tattered clothes is still vivid in my mind. Now they are three generations of the family.

Time flies, and those things only remain in the long river of memory.

In the first two days, the team's progress was relatively slow, but then it gradually returned to its normal pace.

Several mothers also responded, and the children finally returned to their mothers.

With the company of the children, the team became lively again.

When they were still seven or eight days away from the capital, Ye Zifen noticed that groups of refugees were beginning to move northward.

Sure enough, just as she expected, the imperial court did issue an edict ordering the people to return to their hometowns and engage in agricultural production as soon as possible.

To this end, they also issued many encouraging decrees.
