"Look at what you said, your family has helped us so much, how can this favor be repaid with one meal."

Ye smiled and invited people into the house, and chatted with the two daughters-in-law of the Zhang family. Zhang Zili's son and daughter were very lively, but Zhang Zisheng's daughter was very quiet. The three children always seemed a little restrained when they came to visit with adults, and at this time, Ye immediately brought popcorn out to "buy people's hearts". After a while they were playing.

Dinner was more sumptuous than lunch, and there was a large table full of them. Uncle Zhang bluntly said that it was too expensive, but the smile on his face became more and more kind. The table at home was a little smaller, and everyone sat around together. Ye Shi took out the wine he had gone to the town yesterday and poured it for several men, and a large table of people ate happily.

This meal lasted more than an hour, and it was not too early after eating and drinking. The Zhang family went back with their children, and Ye and Li Jinshu still had to clean up the mess.

When the kitchen is cleaned up and washed, it will be at least ten o'clock. After a busy day of recovering the rice, the work in the field is temporarily over. That night, the three of them slept soundly until dawn the next day.

The recovered millet has to be dried before it can be stored. Luckily, the next few days were sunny, so there were no surprises. In the past few days, Ye has been taking care of the food at home, while Li Jinshu and Zhao Hui continue to go to the town to sell popcorn.

Ye Shi is not idle, seeing that the vegetables in that acre of land grow well, he simply ploughed out the two acres of empty land to plant vegetables while he was free. But she couldn't do this, so she could only ask Zhang Gui, who had cattle in the village, to help.

Asking someone to help you cook two meals is indispensable. She still thought that when she harvested rice last time, she didn't invite Li Chunlan's mother and daughter to be guests, so this time she simply did it together.

Li Yunzhi will have to go back to the academy tomorrow, Ye thought about it, and asked Jinshu to go to the Li family to call someone.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you looking for me at such a late hour?" Li Yunzhi thought that Ye Liuqing was in trouble, so his expression was very serious when he came.

"It's nothing." Ye Shi smiled, "It's not that I know you're leaving tomorrow, so I'll let you get something." As she spoke, she turned around and went into the house, took out two pieces of silver, and stuffed the money into Li Yunzhi's hand under the light of the oil lamp.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary people, where does Li Yunzhi dare to take it. He hurriedly refused: "No, I can't ask for this money." You take it and give it to Nishiki. ”

"Take it!" Ye's attitude was tough, "Your second brother is gone, and it's useless for me to be a sister-in-law, and that's the only thing I can do for you." ”

"Second sister-in-law, how can you say that?" Perhaps thinking of his deceased brother, Li Yunzhi's eyes showed a little pain, "Your little brother understands it." You haven't had a good life in our family in the past few years, and sometimes I feel sorry for my second brother when I think about it. Now that I see that you and Xiaojin are having a better life, I am already very happy, how can I take your money? ”

"Don't think about it so much, study hard in the academy. When your second brother was alive, the relationship between your two brothers was the best, and now that he is gone, I, as a sister-in-law, will support you. There is a conflict between our mother and our family, but this matter has nothing to do with you, you just take the money and use it when you need it in the city, don't treat yourself badly. ”

Li Jinshu also helped on the side: "Uncle, what my mother said is not wrong at all. And I saved some money to buy popcorn in the town, so you can take the silver, otherwise my mother won't feel at ease. ”。

Li Yunzhi's gaze went back and forth between the mother and daughter several times, and finally he sighed and accepted the silver. Ye Shi told him a few more words, and then let him go home.
