"Yes, the little one understands, the little one will definitely work hard, and he won't let his family cause trouble to everyone." Zhao Deping said and kowtowed heavily to Ye Tianqing, and continued: "If you don't believe it, please ask the third miss to send someone to watch us, but if there is anything, you don't need the third miss to rush, the little one will leave with his family immediately." ”

"That's good, you get up."

Ye Tianqing listened, her face looked better, and then she cared about the courtyard wall.

However, I saw that a ditch about two feet wide and more than 200 zhang long had been dug around the site of Yejiazhuang, and one of the ditches had been leveled by large and small stones.

"At this rate, I wonder how long it will take to build?" Ye Tianqing looked at the progress, thinking that just digging a ditch, it would take five or six days for so many people to work together, not to mention going up the mountain to quarry stones and transport stones down to build a foundation. The next step is to pile the walls high enough with mud, and although I don't know how they made the mud into a solid wall, it won't be too easy.

After Ye Tianqing saw it, he basically knew it in his heart, so he took the two maids and continued to turn around in the Zhuangzi, in addition to the empty farmland, he also walked around the foot of the mountain, looking at the sparse fruit trees planted at will, with sparse branches and leaves, listless, and some dry loess exposed on the hillside, Ye Tianqing's brows gradually wrinkled.

Since the snow melted, it has not rained for more than two months, and even the trees have dried up like this, others don't know, but she knows very well that this drought will last for nearly three months!

There has been no rain for nearly five months, and farmers have been unable to produce food and crops from their fields. It's equivalent to not having any harvest for most of the year, such days. Those who have surplus food can barely get by, but for those who lack food and clothing on weekdays. It is undoubtedly a catastrophe.

Ye Tianqing, who had something in his heart, then went to the place where the villagers lived, and there were people in the house, and they all went in to take a look, and learned about the situation with the owner of the house.

"Aunt Li. Don't say thank you anymore, since you have rented our land to cultivate and live in the Zhuangzi, our Ye family will be responsible for you people, if you don't care about you, let you go hungry, isn't our Ye family the same as those black-hearted landlords? Ye Tianqing was walking out of a room in the westernmost part of the village at this time, and said to the elderly woman who was following her and wiping her tears as she sent her out.

"Yes, Aunt Li. When you meet such a host, you can't cry, you should be happy. "The Chunhua Niang I saw yesterday was also like other villagers who love to be lively, and followed Ye Tianqing to Aunt Li's house. At this time, when he saw Aunt Li's appearance, he immediately opened his mouth to persuade.

"Yes, it is a blessing for all of us to have a bodhisattva-hearted owner like Mrs. and Miss Three. We should all be happy, or else. In a few days, we may have to be like Deping's sister-in-law. I'm fainting from hunger. The little daughter-in-law standing beside Chunhua Niang also immediately answered.

"Yes, that mother-in-law was rescued by a good person like the owner, if the owner didn't save them yesterday, not to mention that Deping's sister-in-law would starve to death, even those two children would faint from hunger." An elderly woman also said with emotion.

Today, Ye Tianqing has chatted with almost every one of them, and everyone thinks that she is approachable, and she doesn't have the shelf of a young lady, so she has the courage to talk in front of her.

When I went to Chunhua's house just now, Ye Tianqing had already seen the Deping sister-in-law in their mouths, after grooming and tidying, although she still looked very weak, she was a delicate little daughter-in-law, and she heard Chunhua Niang say that she got up early this morning, helped her make breakfast together, cleaned the yard, and was a diligent woman.

As for the two children, after seeing Ye Tianqing, they immediately knelt in front of her with their mother and kowtowed to thank her.

"Miss, please don't drive us away, the wheat will also help my mother go outside to dig wild vegetables, and she won't eat idle food." The little girl, who was six or seven years old, looked at her with big eyes and begged her, and it made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she had committed a great sin if she rejected the child.

"Get up, I have promised your father to let you stay for the time being, but you must remember not to cause trouble, otherwise you will still be let go." However, Ye Tianqing still hardened her heart and said to the girl who called herself Wheat.

"Wheat remember, wheat won't get into trouble." The little girl immediately agreed with an innocent smile, and the boy on the side was not far behind, and also patted his small chest as a guarantee.

Thinking of this, the smile on Ye Tianqing's face was also a little reluctant, and it happened that the village had almost turned, so he said goodbye to everyone and walked back.

Looking at the houses where the villagers lived, then looking at the houses she lived in now, and then thinking of her Ye Mansion in Lingfeng City, Ye Tianqing knew that it turned out that this poor man's life was so difficult.

This is still where their Ye family has always been more kind to their tenants, if it is changed to other places, I don't know how those poor people live.

However, when he returned to the main house to see his mother, Ye Tianqing could no longer see a trace of unhappiness on his face, but told his mother what he saw and heard in the Zhuangzi with great interest.

"Qing'er, you actually visited every house in Zhuangzi today? You are a daughter, how can you come and go in and out of those tenants' houses at will? Is that where you can stay? When Ye Mu heard this, she immediately looked at her reproachfully and asked in surprise.

If she hadn't lived in Yejiazhuang for a few months and knew something about the people in the village, she would have wondered if her daughter had been deceived before she walked in.

"Mother, those rooms are really bad, they are low and low, and you can't see the contents clearly in broad daylight, and they are indeed not a place to stay." Ye Tianqing sighed, nodded approvingly, and then said: "However, mother, if the daughter doesn't see the houses where these villagers live with her own eyes, as well as those home furnishings, the daughter doesn't know, it turns out that the daughter has been living a fairy-like life." ”

"Yes, this person, I'm afraid to compare, compared to those high-ranking families in the capital, our Ye family is nothing, but compared with these people, you will know that you are in a blessed nest." Ye Mu also sighed when she heard her say this.

"Well, this is the fate you have always said mother, the daughter is a good fate, so she was reincarnated as your daughter, if she was reincarnated in a farmer's house, her daughter would now have to live that kind of life without food and clothing." Ye Tianqing said to her mother with a coquettish smile.
