Parents are busy farming

The small lantern festival went on lively for two hours.

People in the village were very interested. Except for the old people who were reluctant to go out, almost the whole village came out.

After there was no one around, the Ye family and the caravan cleaned up the square.

Ye Yongrui and others are not in a hurry to leave. They will leave early tomorrow morning. Although they have not been together for a long time, the family affection is still hard to let go.

Ye Yongwang turned into an old woman and repeatedly told Ye Yongrui to take care of himself and his family.

"When Zitong gets married, I will take my family with me. If there is anything I need, I will write back in time."

When Ye Yongrui heard his brother's advice, he kept agreeing without a word of rebuttal.

Until he had nothing to say, Ye Yongwang reluctantly returned to the Ye family's old house.

Everyone else also returned to their own courtyards, but Ye Yongrui and Ye Lanshi still didn't leave.

"Second uncle, what do you have to say?" Zi Zifen asked.

The two of them didn't want to leave. They must have something to say to her in private. She didn't want them to be embarrassed all the time, so she asked.

"Zifen, it's been so long since the incident between you and Zixuan. Although it was true that Zixuan didn't do it well at the time, you later taught her a lesson. You are sisters after all..."

Ye Zifen raised his hand to stop Ye Yongrui from continuing.

Then she thought for a moment and said: "So, how do I treat my eldest sister? I think you can see it. I have not been liked by my own mother since I was a child. In this family, let alone other people, only those who like me, Only grandma..."

"Whether you say I lack love or that I am willful! The principle I adhere to has always been that you respect me an inch and I respect you an inch. If you treat me sincerely, I will not be double-dealing with you. But once you plot against me , our friendship will end here.”

Ye Yongrui and Ye Lanshi looked at each other and planned to continue listening.

"During that time, my mother treated me like an enemy and my eldest sister made the decision for me. I have never felt so lucky that there were people around me who cared about me like this. I respected and loved her as my own mother. But later on How about it? In fact, when cousin Zining got married, I had already discovered those things... How much I hope... I hope she can kiss me and tell me... the reason why she did that. "

"The closer we are to the person, the more painful it will be to hurt you! Now I don't want to forgive her, just don't want to give her another chance to hurt me. People say that a person's nature is easy to change, but I don't want to, and I don't dare to gamble again... …”

Ye Zifen thought that she could face this matter calmly now, but who would have thought that she would still feel distressed and tears would still flow down when she talked about it again.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Perhaps you think that I only pay attention to my brothers from my mother's family and not my own sisters. If...I mean if, someday, a few people are like her...treat me like that, I will still not hesitate. Disconnect from it.”

Ye Yongrui and Ye Lanshi didn't expect Ye Zifen to say such words, but more serious words were waiting for them behind.

"I may be the fate of the evil star in this life..."

When Ye Yongrui heard this, he immediately reprimanded her seriously, "What nonsense are you talking about? What a lone star in the world! It's obvious that they have done something sorry for you, so how come you are the lone star in the world! I told your second aunt this. I’m afraid that you will gain a reputation because of this...if word spreads...that you have a good relationship with your cousins ​​but have lost contact with your own sister, it will not be a good reputation."

Ye Lan even hugged the tearful Ye Zifen and said, "You silly girl, what are you talking nonsense! Don't the second uncle and the second aunt still see how much you have done for us? Don't worry, as long as we are There is still one alive, the four little bastards I gave birth to, if any of them dares to do anything sorry to you, I will break their legs immediately." Ye Lanshi shed tears as she spoke.

"It's my fault. It's my fault that I was soft-hearted for a moment. I couldn't bear it when I saw how thin Zixuan was during pregnancy. I beg your second uncle to make peace with you two sisters."

Zi Zifen said: "You may not know that when she was born, I advised her not to have children three years later. By then, she would have taken good care of herself, and it would be less painful to carry the child, and she would be healthy after giving birth to the child. But did she listen? People have to be responsible for their own actions in this life, and everything else said is in vain."

When Zhi Zifen heard that Zhi Xuan had lost weight after becoming pregnant, she was a little touched in her heart, but it was soon forgotten in a corner of her heart.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Ye Zifen, Ye Yongrui stopped talking. He tugged on Ye Lan's sleeves and shook his head at her, signaling her not to mention this matter again.

Ye Lanshi immediately understood what he meant and just hugged Ye Zifen without saying anything else.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Ye Zifen's mood stabilized and the two of them left.

It was getting late at this time, but Zifen did not rest immediately, but came to the Ye family's old house.

"You haven't rested yet? I have to send your second uncle and the others off tomorrow." Ye Yongwang knew what his daughter was thinking when he saw his daughter coming alone at night.

Ye Zifen explained with a smile: "I accompany you every year, and this year is no exception. I hope this year can still be a good year, so that people can live a better life."

"Yes, I really hope that the weather will be smooth and the country and the people will be safe!" Ye Yongwang himself is a scholar. He has a feeling in his heart that he should worry about the world first and be happy after the world's happiness.

Now that he heard what Xiao Wu said, he felt that she spoke to his heart. No wonder he liked Ye Zifen more, because both of them were people who cared about the country and the people.

Although the two people had good wishes, the test result showed that there will be a drought this year.

Both of them were a little worried when they saw this result. Ye Yongwang felt that if there was a drought, food income would be reduced. The people in the village had just become a little richer, and if food production was reduced, it would definitely have an impact on them.

What Zhi Zifen is worried about is the excavation of the river above Zhuangzi. She really hopes that the river can be dug before the dry season. This will reduce the loss of food on Zhuangzi and make the lives of the tenant farmers easier.

"If there is a drought, the people will suffer again." Ye Yongwang said worriedly.

"Yes! I'm going to visit the county tomorrow. Regardless of whether this year's drought is real or not, I must say hello to County Magistrate Su in advance and make the necessary preparations." Ye Zifen said.

Ye Zifen thought to herself that she should really build a reservoir that her grandma once said about. It is said that the reservoir can directly help mediate drought and flood conditions. Then farmers would not be so passive.
