Parents are busy farming

Zhang Gaoyi left his house and walked along the main road of the village to the outside of the village. He wanted to talk to Old Man Zhang.

Needless to say, as I was walking, I saw old man Zhang from a distance. He was standing on the edge of his field with his donkey, looking at the dark green wheat in the field in trance.

The donkey lowered his head to eat hay on the roadside and coveted the wheat seedlings in the field. Fortunately, Old Man Zhang had a firm grip.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Zhang Gaoyi asked after approaching.

Old man Zhang smiled reluctantly after seeing his son.

Zhang Gaoyi realized that his mood was not right. If he had seen him back in the past, not to mention how excited he would be, at least he would not look like this now.

So he asked again: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Old man Zhang looked at Zhang Gaoyi and asked, "Do you think I should follow the people in the village to collect grain again?"

Zhang Gaoyi asked him: "Do you want to go?"

Old man Zhang shook his head, "They have harvested all the food around here. If you want to receive more food, you have to go further. Our donkeys cannot pull carts, so..."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, understanding what he wanted to say, "Then what do you think?"

Old man Zhang said: "Your aunt's cousin has learned how to make tofu. Your aunt wants me to learn it. I think this is feasible. How about grinding tofu in the future?"

Zhang Gaoyi thought for a while and said: "No one in the village grinds tofu, so you can give it a try. It's just that the work of grinding tofu is quite tiring. Now this donkey can't do heavy work. You have to think about it, my mother she……"

Speaking of Zhang Wangshi, Zhang Gaoyi shook his head.

'She is not a hard-working person. She can do some housework, but she will definitely not help with these heavy physical tasks. ’

Old man Zhang sighed and glanced sideways at Zhang Gaoyi: "Your sister will be growing up soon, and the dowry must be prepared. You will never give money to the family. I have known this for a long time. If I don't contribute, who will!" snort!"

Listening to the complaints in Old Man Zhang's words, Zhang Gaoyi glanced at him and said, "I'm getting older too. Shouldn't you prepare a house and betrothal gifts for me first so that I can get a wife and have children?"

Old man Zhang waved his hand: "Your father only has a few days to live. You can solve your problems by yourself. I am powerless, so don't count on us."

Zhang Gaoyi clicked his tongue twice, "You can decide these things for yourself. I came to you to talk about raising a donkey. In the past few months, I have sent it to the Ye family so that they can look at me and feel more at ease. When the mule grows up, , this donkey will be given to the family."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Zhang tightened his grip on the reins and said, "Who are you going to give the mule to?"

Zhang Gaoyi found it funny when he saw the way he was protecting the food. "Not only our mules but also the Ye family's mules will be given to the caravan. This has been agreed a long time ago. Look at Ye Lizheng. Look at you. Really, this scholar has such a broad mind, no wonder he can sit on the throne!"

He used words to stimulate his father, and it really worked.

Old man Zhang wanted to come over and slap Zhang Gaoyi on the head, but he easily dodged it.

The donkey felt that the reins were loose and ran into the field. Old man Zhang tightened his grip on the reins.

The donkey was disappointed and raised his head to the sky, saying, "Yeah... Yeah!" ’ shouted.

"Who are you talking about, you brat! Why should I give my donkey to the caravan? The caravan must pay for it if it wants it."

Zhang Gaoyi asked him again: "Are you serious?"

This time the questioning was full of warnings.

Old man Zhang saw that his expression became serious, then looked at the donkey and said, "Maybe...it might not be true."

Old man Zhang knows how to give up when something is good.

"That brat knows how to threaten me! I've been feeding it for so long, and you..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Gaoyi said loudly: "So when the mule grows older, I will give this donkey to my family. I bought this donkey. I earn the money, and I have the final say!"

"I'm your father!" Old Man Zhang muttered softly, knowing that he couldn't defeat him.

Zhang Gaoyi said irritably: "I didn't say it wasn't, but you should understand what my relationship with my family is like, so there is no need to force me, and there is no need to restrain me with old rules and traditions. You know I won't listen." Okay. Okay, give me the reins and I’ll just lead him over. In addition, I just gave Xia Yue and Qiu Yue a hundred cents, and they went to the county to buy floral fabrics to make new clothes."

Old man Zhang gave the reins to Zhang Gaoyi. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his brother giving him money to buy things. He just said: "If you give him too much money, they will spend it arbitrarily."

Then he shouted to Zhang Gaoyi's back: "I'm going to buy graphite. You go to Ye's house to borrow a bullock cart and bring it back for me, ah?"

The voice was very strong, but after finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

Zhang Gaoyi knew very well what his father was like. He didn't care about it and walked towards the small courtyard.

Lao Li was brushing the donkeys at this time.

"Uncle Li, I brought my donkey over. We have no experience with this animal giving birth to calves. We can rest assured that you are here." Zhang Gaoyi said politely when he saw Lao Li.

Lao Li was very satisfied when he saw Zhang Gaoyi leading the donkey over. The donkey was not thin, and he had obviously taken good care of it.

He took the reins and said, "I'll tie it next to it and give it a brush in a while."

Zhang Gaoyi asked again: "Do you still have a bullock cart at home?"

Lao Li said: "There are two more. The master is harnessing the ox cart and taking the guests to collect grain."

"Then I'll use one. I have something to do. I'll talk to Uncle Ye when I get back." Zhang Gaoyi said and went to the bullpen.

After getting up in the morning, Zheng Zheng in the fishing village asked to follow Ye Yongwang to collect grain. He also wanted to see how they did it, maybe it could give him more inspiration.

Ye Yongwang naturally had no objection, it was just Doraemon alone.

But he didn't find this Li Zheng in the fishing village last time. How could he ask why? If he hadn't read the book, he might not even know some of the answers.

Just explaining these things to him made him feel dry.

Since Ye Zifei had transported all the sauerkraut away, she started the second round of pickling sauerkraut.

Half of the tank was missing, but it needed to be repurchased, but it was not urgent. You could buy it again in two days. She filled the empty tank first.

This time, no one will help her. Wang Chuanren will be dismissed next spring. Although she does not necessarily need to be on the list, she still has to study hard. If she can pass the exam, wouldn't everyone be happy?

So I saw Ye Zifei peeling the dried cabbage leaves, boiling water, and cooking vegetables.

The speed was more than half slower than the last time, but fortunately, Ye Yefei liked pickling sauerkraut, so she didn't find it boring.

Just when she was making pickled vegetables, someone sent a letter.

I saw on the envelope ‘Zi Zifen personally signs it! ’, Ye Zifei sighed.

This is already the first few letters. At first, Zhi Xuan wrote a peace letter to Ye Yongwang, but now she has changed it to writing to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu had already left and she hadn't seen a letter. She suspected that Xiao Wu might not read her letter even if he was at home!

Wang Tinghe is a living example. Ye Zifen really never met Wang Tinghe again.

Even if she had to say something, she would not go into the room and finish speaking through the door curtain, then turn around and leave.

Ye Yefei didn't know what to do about the matter between the two of them, so she decided to ask Gao Yi to help bring these letters when the caravan returned.

She would never be a part of it again.
