Parents are busy farming

Zi Zifen had already walked a long way, and Zhou Dalin said from behind: "I need to discuss this matter with Cui'er, and I will reply to you after we have discussed it. Do you think it's okay?"

When Zi Zifen heard this answer, he looked back at Zhou Dalin and thought: 'This Zhou Dalin is really a bit stupid! ’

"Okay, you can just discuss it with your wife. When you have discussed it, you can send me the news."

Then he changed the subject and said, "When Fang Huzi came last time, you were always by his side, telling me whether fruit trees can be planted in the mountains behind us. What did you say at that time?"

When Zhou Dalin was asked about things he was familiar with, he immediately became more talkative.

"My brother took a look at the soil quality and water source of our back mountain, and judged that the back mountains are suitable for growing fruit trees, but the front two mountains are more suitable for growing apples and pears, and the back mountains, my brother's suggestion It’s a hawthorn tree.”

Ye Zifen nodded while listening.

Zhou Dalin added: "In addition, my brother said that every year he will come over to help us look at the fruit trees, how to prune them, and how to make the branches of the fruit trees absorb sunlight."

Zi Zifen asked: "Did your brother say that we need to prepare the tree pit in advance?"

Zhou Dalin shook his head and said: "No need, my brother got small saplings and dug the pits in advance. The water in the pits will be lost and the nutrients will be lost. It is better to dig the pits and put the saplings in when the saplings arrive, and then Cover it with soil. This way the saplings can adapt to the land environment as quickly as possible and save time and water. Besides, the saplings are not big and their roots are not very big, so digging a hole is not a problem."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen felt relieved and praised: "You and your brother have done a good job. You have worked hard these days. Take a good rest in the winter. Let's work hard for another year next spring."

Later, Ye Zifen went to see Zhao Youde and checked the situation and surplus grain in Zhuangzi.

There was no problem. Zi Zifen decided to go home. Before leaving, she said to Zhao Youde: "I may not be able to come before the spring. I will have someone send some things over before the Chinese New Year. See you in the spring!"

What Ye Zifen means is that he will not visit them again until the Chinese New Year, but he will give them some New Year's gifts before the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Youde's family was very grateful and sent Ye Zifen far away before returning to Zhuangzi.

Things outside were almost settled, and Ye Zifen decided to distill the brewed wine from tomorrow.

This job required concentration, so she decided to start working on it only after everything was taken care of.

Before going home, she first ordered two hundred to return to the wine jar. In previous years, she didn’t need so many, but this year the sorghum yield was high, and the wine production should be a lot more, so she decided to order more, even if it was not used up, it would be fine. It can also be used to pickle flavored radishes, so it won’t be wasted.

After finishing these things, Ye Zifen returned home at dusk.

During dinner in the evening, I informed everyone: "We will start distilling wine tomorrow. If you have time, you can come over and help."

Ye Ziwei immediately raised her hand, "I'll have to watch them train tomorrow. It just so happens that the new kids need some special guidance from me, so I probably won't have time."

Ye Zifen laughed when she heard this, and then looked at Ye Zifei.

Ye Zifei quickly waved her hands, "Hey! Don't look at me. I have poured out several jars, and there happens to be some cabbage. I need to pickle it tomorrow."

Ye Yongwang said directly: "I will go out to collect food tomorrow. I have made appointments with all the people in the village. I can't break my promise."

Although Shangguan Ying and Mu Hongzhou didn't know why they were avoiding the matter so much, it was definitely not a good thing to be avoided by everyone, so the two of them remained silent and did not look into Ye Zifen's eyes at all.

In the end, Ye Zifen felt that her question just now was purely unnecessary, "Okay, you don't have to hide anymore. I will do this work from tomorrow on. Anyway, there is no important work below. I will finish it when I finish it." "

When the people heard what she said, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere on the table immediately disappeared.

Ziwei even gave Zifen a few chopsticks to eat, her smile full of begging for mercy.

Ye Yongwang and Ye Zifei ate quickly and left immediately after eating.

Ye Yongwang felt very guilty and left a message before going out, "Leave the other chores at home to us, you can only be responsible for this one thing."

After everyone left, Mrs. Feng smiled and said to Ye Zifen: "You didn't see how fast Miss Three and Miss Six were running, as if something was chasing her behind them! Haha!"

"They were all escorted by my grandma to do this in the past. They felt very bored if they didn't tell me whether they could do it well, so now when it comes to it, they hide as far away as possible."

"I just didn't expect that the master would be so resistant to this matter this time." Mrs. Feng continued.

Zi Zifen laughed when he heard this, "He must have a psychological shadow. One year when he was doing this, he wasted several bottles of sorghum wine. Although grandma didn't scold him at the time, she did look a little disappointed when she looked at him. From then on, he Definitely don’t do this.”

"Oh, I'll do it myself. Actually, I don't feel comfortable letting them do it!" Ye Zifen sighed before going to bed.

The next morning, everyone hurriedly finished their meal and went to do their own work. I had never seen them so active before.

After Ye Zifen had eaten, she called Mu Hongzhou over, and Mu Hongzhou looked at her suspiciously.

The meaning in that look seemed to say: 'Do you think I am a fool? What I am willing to do is what they are not willing to do? ’

Ye Zifen ignored the accusation in her eyes and said directly: "You like drinking so much, don't you want to see how the wine is made? You don't want to know the whole process? Besides, I won't let you do the job they don't want to do. Son, I want you to help me move and lift, this isn’t that difficult for you, right?”

Mu Hongzhou thought of the wine in the Ye family and became a little addicted to alcohol, then nodded.

The two masters and apprentices began to move ants and ants, first moving the sorghum that had fermented the wine smell in the vat into the distillation pot.

This pot is quite old. It was specially made by someone when Lu Yunduo was here. It turns out that this pot was stored at Ye's house and was only brought over last night.

Because of this move, the place sealed with mud has cracked. Just now, Ye Zifen mixed some mud first, removed the original mud, and sealed it again.

After the sorghum was put into the pot, she put the special lid on it and placed many wet towels around it to block the edge of the pot.
