Ye Fang looked up at the sky, his brows were considered for a while, and the men in the courtyard who were waiting were anxious.

One of them couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Ye, if you have anything to say, we can stand it!" ”

Ye Fang sighed: "In my opinion, this winter will not be able to fall this winter, I was looking forward to a few rains after the beginning of spring, but now I look at ..... It's hard to say! ”

As soon as the men by the door heard this, they immediately fried the pot and began to talk nonsense.

"Oh my God, what's going on here?"

"Could it be that the incident of more than ten years, do we have to go through it again?"

"Who has a way? If the food in the field is gone, our family will be hungry! ”

"Uncle Ye, you have a lot of experience, do you have any good ideas?" One of the men asked at Ye Fang.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately looked over.

Ye Fang frowned in embarrassment: "Don't panic first, it's just that there is no snow in winter, and it is not without it in the past, maybe there will be rain in spring." ”

"Hey, Uncle Ye, you can't do anything?"

"Okay, let's not embarrass Uncle Ye, everyone is a cropper who depends on the sky for food, God is unhappy, what can we do?"

"yes, yes, alas....."

The people at the door sighed, shook their heads and were about to leave, when they saw Ye Zhengming hesitate and suddenly said, "My family is going to dig a few wells by the side of the field in a few days." ”

"What if...... After the beginning of spring, the rain can't come, and there is a shortage of water in the field, so the big guy can go to me to fetch water! ”

The men who were about to leave heard this, and they were all excited: "Ye Laoer, what you said is true?" ”

"Oh, if that's the case, I don't have to worry!"

"Yes, yes, if we can have a few wells, we can save the harvest in the field, even if we work harder."

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Ye Zhengming smiled honestly: "Really, really, when I finish clearing the wasteland, I'll find someone to do this." ”

"Wasteland? How many acres are you going to open? I'll help! ”

"Yes, yes, add me, I'll help too!"

"And me! The sooner I dig the well, the sooner my heart will fall back into my stomach! ”

Zhao, who was standing on the side, pursed his lips and glared at his second son with small eyes, hum, can you bear it? You have this method, why didn't you say it just now?

Do you want to wait until your father is embarrassed? I think you did it on purpose!

But I don't know if she was afraid of so many people present, she didn't say it at all.

Ye Fang frowned when he heard this, but he thought that if his son could dig a well in the field, his own land would also be profitable, and the slightest discomfort in his heart would be dissipated.

Nothing is more important to him than a harvest in the field!

Originally, he was also worried about this matter in the past few days, but now the result is just right.

looked at his son and said: "You must invite someone with enough experience, I think the boss of the Song family in the next village is very good, when you dig a well in the future, come and talk to me, and I will go to see it too." ”

"Good!" Ye Zhengming nodded in response.

When everyone left, Zhao muttered to her husband dissatisfiedly: "The second brother, he did it on purpose, he has your ability to see the sky." ”

"Obviously, I can see eight or nine without leaving ten, but I want to ask you in front of so many people, I think he just wants to save your face!"

Ye Fang waved his hand, the expression on his face was still serious: "You don't understand, this year is not normal!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao finally became nervous: "Really? Why haven't I heard you mention this before? ”

Ye Fang's brows furrowed: "What's the use of me mentioning it?" Are you willing to spend money digging wells in your fields? ”

Zhao immediately stopped saying anything, spending money to dig a well? She was really reluctant!

.............

On Ye Zhengming's side, with the help of others, in just a few days, he opened more than ten acres of wasteland, and he was not greedy.

Anyway, whoever planted this flower in the village would eventually sell it to his family, and he would open up some more wasteland, just to fulfill his wife's instructions.

After opening up the wasteland, he went to a neighboring village the next day and invited the Song family to dig a well.

Because his family had to dig a total of three wells this time, it took this man three days just to find a suitable location.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ye Zhengming went to the old house to talk to his father, and with him, he came to the edge of the field with the people who dug the well of the Song family.

In the old house, Ma Shi in the stove room packed up his things, turned around and came to the main house again.

Looking at Zhao on the kang, he said: "Mother, this is getting closer and closer to the day when Yue'er gets married, and this wedding dress is not easy to embroider." ”

"It's better to start earlier, you see, the three hundred and eighty dollars you talked about before, isn't it .....?"

As soon as Zhao heard this, his face drooped, and he wanted not to give it, but he didn't want to slap himself in the face.

After a few breaths, he reluctantly moved to the side of the box at the corner of the kang.

While opening the box to find the money, he didn't forget to mutter: "Urge, urge, what are you urging?" How many days late? ”

"Don't practice much? Red silk is such an expensive fabric, I won't pay for it again if it's embroidered! ”

Ma Shi saw her turn out the silver coin, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Mother, don't worry, it won't be embroidered!" ”

"Here you go! Here you go! One by one, they are all debt collectors, what did I do in my last life to recruit your daughters-in-law to the house? ”

Zhao "snapped" and slapped the copper coin on the kang and scolded angrily.

Ma Shi got the money and said to her: "Mother, I'll go to the town to buy cloth now." ”

turned around and slipped away quickly, not even listening to Zhao's next words.

................

After this period of exercise, Ma is no longer the same as she was at the beginning, and she did not dare to make an ox cart, relying on her feet, she walked to the town more than an hour later.

Stepping on the bluestone paved street, she did not stop under her feet, and soon came to the shop selling fabrics, pulled red silk steps for her daughter, and carefully wrapped the cloth.

After leaving the shop, she did not return immediately, but came to the private room of the teahouse.

Faced with the inquiry of the shop guy, she gritted her teeth, ordered a pot of Shiwen tea, and waited quietly.

She didn't wait long, and with the sound of "squeak" the door opening, she saw Mrs. Xin, who had been to the Ye family a few days ago, walk into the house.

"Ma Niang, has this been figured out? I'll just say, this is a great thing, didn't I say, the dowry of the Xue family's lady is rich. ”

"If I hadn't looked at it, the gentleman of your family was handsome and had read, and this good thing wouldn't have fallen on your head."

Mrs. Xin's dress today, as always fancy, greased and powdered, red and green, saw Ma sitting at the table, and immediately said.

There was still hesitation on Ma's face: "Are you sure, then the Xue family is really as good as you say?" ”
