Parents are busy farming

Speaking of the pond, Ye Zifen thought of her old idea again. In the past, she thought that after the pond was dug, she could raise fish in it, and when the fish grew bigger, she could raise ducks on it.

But since we have already promised to contract to others, how can we break our promise?

Thinking of the duck, Ye Zifen couldn't help but remind her, "Remember to take good care of the ducklings hatched on Zhuangzi. Maybe one day we can put them to use."

Not to mention, it is not easy for Ye Zifen to remember the arrangements of each event clearly in his mind.

"Don't worry, Miss. It won't take long for the first batch of ducklings to come out. The weather is getting warmer now, so the survival rate of the ducks should be quite high."

After Xiang Xiang finished speaking, Ye Zifen said smoothly: "When the ducks are older, drive those ducks directly into the ditch. They will eat the small fish, shrimps and weeds in the ditch. Then there will be no need to waste too much food. Just take good care of it when you are young.”

"Yes..." Xiang Qian agreed.

The two of them were talking as they walked from the granary to the front yard. When passing by the backyard, Zifen hitched the carriage.

Ye Zifen planned to go to the pond first and not return to Zhuangzi after reading it.

Of course, in this case, he would take Zhao Cuier to the pond.

When the carriage was brought to the front yard, Zhao Cuier was talking to the women of the Xiang family. Seeing Ye Zifen coming over, Zhao Cuier immediately came to his side.

Naturally, she saw the carriage led by Ye Zifen, and she also knew that they were about to leave.

"What are you talking about? You are talking so happily."

As soon as Zi Zifen entered the front yard, she saw several women chatting and laughing. She was very curious.

Zhao Cuier replied: "Let's talk about hatching ducklings. I just went into their hatching house and took a look. The progress on both sides is about the same. I estimate that the time for hatching the ducklings is about the same."

After Ye Zifen heard what she said, she gave up the idea of ​​going to see it in person. Zhao Cuier had been responsible for the hatching of the ducklings, and she must know a lot.

So she felt there was no need to go in and take a look herself.

"We have finished looking at the granary and plan to go to other places to have a look. You can go with us!" Ye Zifen said softly.

Zhao Cuier nodded.

At this time, Xiangqian had already removed the threshold, and Ye Zifen led the carriage out.

The women at home sent them out. Zhao Cuier got on the carriage, and Ye Zifen also sat on the shaft.

Moving forward, he drove Zhuangzi's ox cart out of Zhuangzi.

To go to the pond, lead the way forward.

The women at home watched respectfully as Ye Zifen drove away in a carriage.

"This little girl Cui'er is so lucky!" Qianqian was not the only one to understand, but even his wife also saw the secret behind it.

The young daughters-in-law didn't know what she meant, but they didn't refute her and responded to her words by saying, "Yes!"

The man knew that they didn't understand it, but he didn't say anything else. They walked into the village when no one could be seen.

The bullock cart leads the way, and the speed can be imagined.

Zi Zifen's horse walked leisurely, looking back from time to time, and then wanted to take a bite of wheat seedlings in the wheat field on the roadside while Zi Zifen was not paying attention.

Ye Zifen seemed to have discovered the old horse's abnormality, so when he found its stretched out neck, he tugged on the reins.

The horse was like a child who had done something wrong. He quickly returned to normal and continued to drive forward as if nothing had happened.

Ye Zifen shook his head helplessly, whether it was a human or a horse, they all had the same virtue.

When he came to the pond, he suddenly said to Ye Zifen: "I have reminded Zhibo today and asked him to bring news to the tenant farmers, and we will start preparing to water the fields tomorrow!"

Ye Zifen nodded after hearing what he said. She had never doubted her attitude towards doing things for her family, and it was reasonable to arrange it this way.

Then he said: "These few days will be busier and more tiring than before. You go to Daniel and get a sheep back, kill it, and everyone will make up for it."

"Thank you, miss!" He quickly thanked her.

Looking at the pond in front of her, Ye Zifen was very excited because the pond was big enough.

Although the water level is not very high, it is more than enough for raising fish. Another advantage is that the pond is not so deep, so dangerous things are less likely to happen.

Zi Zifen said to Xiang Qiang: "Since we have agreed to let him contract this fish pond, we must keep our word, but we cannot delegate full power to him. You also remember to keep an eye on it and don't rent it to him later. , not only did they not catch anything, but they also added to our pond."

Xiang Xiang promised: "I will definitely keep an eye on the lady here, don't worry!"

After standing in that place for a while, Ye Zifen said: "Okay, I've looked around. There's nothing more to see if I stand here all the time. Cui'er and I will go back to the county first. You can go back by yourself. I'll help you if anything happens." Have someone come and inform you.”

After saying that, Ye Zifen and Zhao Cuier turned around and walked towards the carriage.

Come forward and follow him quickly, he wants to send Ye Zifen away

Waiting for Ye Zifen to jump onto the shaft of the car, pick up the whip and say to Qiang Qian: "Okay, we are going back, you should go back quickly!"

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she flicked her whip and started the car slowly. Zhao Cui'er was a little excited when she thought of being able to enter the county town again. She remembered that the last time she went to the county town, she went to Fook Lai for dinner with her father and the others.

That time was an eye-opener. Apart from Ye Zifen and a few stewards, the thing that impressed him most deeply was Liu Menger who was still fresh in her memory.

Not to mention how good the food at Fuke was, just the fact that she could go to the city made her very happy.

Zhuangzi where they are located is far away from the county seat, so they don't go to the county seat for unnecessary things, they always go to the town.

"Miss, when we return to the county, do I want to live with you?"

Zhao Cuier kept reminding herself that everything must be arranged by Ye Zifen, but for some reason, she was just curious, so she couldn't help but ask.

Ye Zifen smiled and nodded, "Yes! Not only you, but also Meng'er. It's just that Meng'er followed the caravan to the beach and hasn't come back yet. When she comes back, she will be with us. But before Meng'er comes back, I need someone to teach you how to read."

Now the best candidates in Ye Zifen's mind are Sister-in-law Qingyin and the others.

Zhao Cuier was even more excited when she heard that she needed to be literate.

"Miss, I will definitely study hard. I heard from my father that Miss Meng'er is very amazing, and I will also learn from her."

Ye Zifen encouraged her, "Yeah! Study hard! Learning these things only has advantages and no disadvantages."
