Parents are busy farming

Looking at those cloths, my mind that was disturbed yesterday became active again.

I ran back to my room, took out the gardenias I bought from the hospital, washed them, and boiled them in hot water.

After a while, the fruit turned into a rich ginger color.

She used a strainer to fish out all the gardenias inside, cut out a foot of white cloth from the piece of cloth she was practicing on, and soaked it in it.

I also got some plant ash, stirred it with water and settled it to the bottom, then separated the water.

By this time the fabric had been soaked for an hour.

After picking out the cloth with a wooden stick, put it into clean water stained with plant ash and rinse it for a while.

Finally, I washed it in salt water and the cloth was dyed.

When I took it out, I saw it was a light ginger color.

The color is very beautiful, and Ye Zifen is extremely satisfied.

She suddenly gained confidence and planned to do something big.

Take out a piece of well-woven cloth from the loom room, put it in the dye and dip it bit by bit. After it is completely soaked, use the remaining gardenia to boil a large pot of dye.

It was placed in the cauldron along with the cloth and dye and soaked.

She went to get a lot of vegetation ash water. She asked Lao Li for help and asked him to build three big shelves for her in the backyard.

When Ye Zifen, with the help of Lao Li, put the piece of cloth on the shelf to dry, the whole family came to the backyard to watch, with shock on their faces.

Ye Yongwang only knew that his daughter was tinkering with weaving, but he didn't expect that she would develop dyeing cloth.

Looking at the confident and proud smile on Xiao Wu's face, he seemed to see the shadow of his aunt in his daughter.

Ye Zifen took out the test-dyed cloth and handed it to Lao Li.

"Uncle Li will go home tomorrow to see his wife and children. I tried dyeing this cloth, and it is not evenly woven in some places. Don't dislike it. Go home and make clothes for your children."

Lao Li didn't take it, his eyes turned red, and he knelt down.

"Miss Fifth, I'm sorry, I...I can't help your family."

The Ye family were all frightened by Lao Li's behavior. Ye Zifen wanted to help Lao Li up, but Lao Li refused.

"Every time I eat steamed buns, I keep two of them. I want to secretly take them back to my wife and children at home."

Lao Li still said it out. He had been holding it in his heart for a long time. Every time he ate, he felt like he was going to the execution ground, with a deep sense of guilt.

"Uncle Li, you don't have to be like this. I knew it on the first day you came here. I didn't blame you. When you go home tomorrow, go to the kitchen and I've prepared something for you." Ye Zifen said happily.

It would be impossible to say that there was no grudge in her heart, but she could understand this behavior.

This at least proves that Lao Li is a responsible person, responsible for his family, and he should not plot against his master's family.

When Lao Li heard this, he couldn't get up anymore and kowtowed to Zifen before he stopped.

"Uncle Li is carrying some people on his back when he goes home. Don't let anyone see him. After all, your children are not strong enough yet." Ye Zifen did not forget to remind him.

Lao Li nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Don't put any psychological burden on you. You feed the livestock every night and add firewood to our kang. I know all of this. What I give you is what you deserve."

Ye Zifen still explained it for Lao Li, and everyone present was shocked. Lao Li didn't expect that the fifth lady would know.

Everyone was surprised that Lao Li would do this.

So Ye Yongwang walked up to Lao Li and patted him on the shoulder, took the cloth in Ye Zifen's hand and handed it to him, "Take it, take it if Miss Fifth asks you to take it."

Lao Li put the cloth given to him by Ye Zifen back into the baggage in the house. Thinking that he could go home tomorrow, he couldn't sleep.

‘I don’t know what the situation is like at home. When he left, the food was probably enough to last until now. ’

Just when he was embarrassed to say that he should go home and take a look, the fifth lady took the initiative to let him go home and take a look. He was even more grateful to the fifth lady.

Others were interested in Ye Zifen's cloth, and several times they wanted to ask.

But seeing Ye Zifen's look that said, don't ask, keep it secret, everyone had no choice but to swallow what they wanted to ask.

"Is this how you want to make money?" Unable to ask about Bu, Ye Yongwang decided to take a detour.

"No, there is still one step to go. I plan to make them into finished products and sell them." Ye Zifen said confidently.

Ye Yongwang and his wife looked at each other and saw their thoughts in each other's eyes.

‘Xiao Wu is becoming more and more like an aunt! ’

Wang Tinghe was a little jealous, but he didn't show it.

"Tomorrow you and your third sister will go to the third party. Go to bed early!" Ye Yongwang reminded.

*

The Lu family's old house also heard the news that Zhi Xuan had given birth to a son, and they fell silent together.

Zhi Xuan was not friendly to them, also because of the two dead girls.

Now that she has a man, her husband is still an official in the county, so it will be even harder for them to get the Ye family's things.

"I didn't expect that bitch's little girl to have such a good life. She gave birth to a baby with her first child. God is not very discerning."

(God is so aggrieved, okay?)

After Lu Li finished speaking, everyone still didn't speak. They were in a very low mood.

It's winter and they can't do anything, not even go out and do odd jobs.

What's more, Lu Yongfu never had the idea of ​​doing odd jobs.

He can't even chop firewood now, let alone go up the mountain like the old man did when he was young.

In fact, there are mostly hills next to their village. The only big mountain is more than ten kilometers away from them, but there is no village in between, which means that their village is the closest to that big mountain.

The wild beasts in the mountains never come out to harm people, only people go in to seek death.

Moreover, the land here is flat and they will not starve to death if they work hard to open up wasteland.

"Alas! You have offended people so cruelly. It would be better if those two people were not alive. Now several girls in that family hate you!"

Lu Dashan knocked the cigarette rod to knock out the ash inside, and then used a small wooden stick to remove the smoke oil from the pot.

"Hmph! Just hate me if they hate me! What else can they do to me! I'm not afraid of them!"

After hearing this, Lu Bai curled her lips and said, "Don't be afraid, what are you beeping at?" ’

"They won't do anything to you, but they won't take much care of Yongfu. He will go to the fields after spring. Look at Yongfu's body and my age. Do we still need our six acres of land? Hiring short-term workers is not possible." Lu Dashan has been thinking about this in recent days.

"Grandpa, let's buy a cow!" Lu Zili heard Lu Dashan's words just after he came back from outside.

"What kind of cow do you want to buy? Our money is reserved for you to study. Why buy a cow? When the time comes, I will go to that house to get it. I will see who dares to stop me!" After speaking, Mrs. Lu Li put her hands on her waist. A farewell, full of momentum.

When Lu Zili heard this, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Lu Dashan also gave Lu Zili a very complicated look.

"Okay, let's all disperse! Let's think about it carefully and talk about it next time!"

After Lu Dashan finished speaking to them, he took his tobacco bag and returned to the inner room.

Lu Zili also took his brother back to the room.

All he could think about was what his grandfather said to him.
