I don’t know if God was helping them or if they were just lucky. They walked around without being bumped into by anyone in the village.

On the other side, Ye Yuran rushed to Aunt Zhu's third and fourth aunt's houses.

Without mentioning the quarrel between the cousins, Ye Yuran simply said what Zhu Sanzhuang said: "I heard Sanzhuang said that we fell in love with each other yesterday? Isn't that too fast?"

When Aunt Zhu heard this, she laughed: "That silly boy...Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. How dare we respond so quickly to such a big thing yesterday? The matchmaker's intention was also decided quietly by both parties first.

Let’s wait until the Liu Wengen family matter is over in a while, then we’ll talk about it.”

"This puts me at ease. I also heard what Sanzhuang said, and I was murmuring in my heart. I was afraid that the beautiful jade was flawed, so I came over to ask you. Since you have made arrangements, I won't worry about it."

"What's the point of beautiful jade? Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? I can probably understand, you should be saying that good things don't turn out so beautifully..." Aunt Zhu San was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, that's what it means."

"Sister-in-law is indeed the mother of a scholar. It's just different. She can explain things clearly in just a few words. Unlike us, if we want to explain something clearly, we have to say several words." Aunt Zhu San took a picture of someone's face.

Flattery.

Ye Yuran glanced at her and said nothing.

She also knew that the other person would suddenly compliment her like this because she was busy helping others and they were grateful to her.

Since there was nothing else to do, I said goodbye and went back to do my own business.

Aunt Zhu San even delivered it to her doorstep.

Plowing the land was a big project. Early in the morning, Zhu Da, Zhu Er, and Zhu borrowed the Li Zheng family's oxen and started working in the fields.

Since this was the first time they were plowing, they also selected plant ash, mixed it with compost, sprinkled it on the ground and turned it over together. This is called "nurturing the land".

On the other side, Zhu Wu was not idle either. He followed Old Man Zhu and the young people arranged by Li Zheng to start harvesting the sweet potatoes in the field and preparing for sweet potato planting.

When the people in the village heard that they were about to start preparing for winter sweet potatoes to be planted after the autumn harvest, they were all so happy that anyone who had nothing left to do came to help.

But Li Zheng said: "I'll tell you the ugly thing first. You came before it was your turn to work. When it's your turn later, don't say that I made repeated arrangements for you."

A group of people laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Li Zheng, we know what's going on. Just do more, and then you can give us more sweet potato seedlings."

Li Zheng said with a straight face: "I would like to get more points, but it depends on how many seedlings there are."

Ye Yuran was also at the scene and asked them to be careful not to damage the sweet potato vines when cutting them. Once this thing is done, it can also be used to grow seedlings.

When everyone heard that this thing could also be used to raise seedlings, they just did it as she said without saying a word.

Half the village was mobilized, and the work was in full swing.

As expected, there is strength in numbers, and with so many people, the remaining half an acre of sweet potatoes was quickly harvested.

A register is being written, and the work performed by each family is recorded.

"Li Zheng, why do you remember this? Do more work, and you don't pay too much attention to me." Someone didn't forget what Li Zheng said before, and asked.

Li Zhengdao: "This is the first time of planting. There is a shortage of seedlings and there is no way to divide more. After several times of planting, we have enough seedlings. Can we divide more?"

Country people are honest and don't worry about anything. When I heard what Li Zheng said, I immediately felt that it was right for me to work honestly. If I work for the village, why would I suffer a loss if I work more?

The harvested sweet potatoes were picked into Zhu's new yard and weighed on the spot so that everyone could have an idea.

After the weighing, Ye Yuran also directed several daughters-in-law at home and the women in the village to pick out the damaged ones.

If you want to save seeds, they must be good.

If it's bad, the Zhu family will naturally take it away. After all, the Zhu family provides it for free, and the Zhu family still has to do the work of raising seedlings. Even if the villagers know about it, it's hard to say anything.

After weighing, you have to decide what to use and where to put it.

In order to show "fairness", Ye Yuran also asked Li Zheng to arrange for a young man to be responsible for "keeping seeds".

"Don't you need to go to such trouble? Aunt Zhu, who doesn't believe it?" When she told Li Zheng and the clan leader in private for the first time, they still found it troublesome.

"Trust is trustworthy, but the rules that should be established must still be established." Ye Yuran said, "This is not just to 'keep the seeds', there is a lot of work behind, and someone needs to be responsible to keep an eye on it to prevent mistakes.

"

In fact, she was "precautionary" because she was afraid that everything would be taken care of by the Zhu family and that no one knew the situation. If something happened later, everyone would blame the Zhu family.

In addition, she also wanted to prevent the Zhu family from "taking over too much power" and causing dissatisfaction with Li Zheng and the clan leader.

After all, the Zhu family has not yet risen up, and will have to deal with Li Zheng and the clan leader in the future. Only by giving her some opportunities to "get ahead" will others be more willing to stand with her.

Sure enough, Li Zheng and the clan leader said that there was no need to do this and that they could trust Ye Yuran. However, with Ye Yuran, there had to be a third party responsible for "taking charge", so the two of them did not refuse.

After careful questioning, I found out what this "chief officer" did.

Ye Yuran said: "The seeds are placed in my house, and when the seedlings are raised in the future, it will be my house. Naturally, there must be someone representing Zhujia Village to help look after it, so that everyone can feel more at ease. If there is any situation, the person in charge can also explain it to the villagers.

…”

In the middle of the day, the two patriarchs were thoughtful, they exchanged glances and said, "Can the chief decide between two people?"

Ye Yuran pretended not to see it, and said calmly: "Of course, there is one chief on the left and one on the right. Whatever happens in the future, they can discuss it easily. Li Zheng, clan leader, you have decided on this quota. Okay.

I said that’s fine.”

Li Zheng, the clan leader would let someone else do this kind of thing?

Without even thinking about it, they decided on the spot that their sons would take action.

In the future, when they get old, someone will take over their position. Letting their son come forward at this time can help the villagers get to know them.

At the same time, it is also a good opportunity to build prestige.

Ye Yuran had no objection at all and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just have them."

So, on the first night when Hongshu was at Zhu's house, the chief left officer, Li Zheng's eldest son, stayed at Zhu's house.

Originally, the Zhu family returned to Zhu Da to keep vigil today, but during dinner, Ye Yuran said that Zhu Da, Zhu Er, and Zhu Si worked too hard all day long, so he named Zhu Wu and asked him to stay vigil for a few more days.

Zhu Wu had no objection: "Yes, mother."

After dinner, Ye Yuran called him over and quietly explained a few words.

Zhu Wu listened and nodded: "Okay, I understand, mother."

"This is the first test that Mom will give you. If you handle it well, Mom will leave the rest to you."

Zhu Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle it."

He was so happy. He had discussed with Mr. Lin before that all the brothers in the family had their own way out, but the two younger ones might have to suffer a bit and had to find a way.

Unexpectedly, my mother had not forgotten him at all, but she had not found a suitable opportunity before.

No, when the opportunity came, my mother thought of him first.
