Parents are busy farming

Chapter 131 mugwort food

The sixty acres of land have not been harvested yet, and Qingming Festival has arrived.

Zi Zifen attaches great importance to such festivals because she is going to visit her aunt's grave.

According to local custom, on the day before Qingming Festival, the men in the family should weed and fill the graves of the deceased, which is commonly known as filling the graves.

Ye Yongwang didn't come back, so Ye Zifen took a shovel and filled the graves for the two Ye family members.

Looking at the mound, Ye Zifen didn't know how she felt.

The matter of life and death is so mysterious. The end of a lifetime is nothing more than a handful of loess.

Those people and things are just memories of living people.

When the memory dissipates, everything will return to nothingness.

When Lu Dashan took Lu Zili to fill the graves of his ancestors, he saw Ye Zifen standing in front of the graves in a daze.

"Xiao Wu! Come here, I have a few words to say to you." Lu Dashan still spoke to Ye Zifen in the tone of an elder.

Ye Zifen came back to her senses and looked at her grandfather and grandson who were waiting for her in the distance.

He looked back at my aunt's grave and walked towards Lu Dashan with a shovel.

Smiling before saying anything is already Ye Zifen's signature move when treating the people in the Lu family's old house.

Every time Lu Dashan sees this girl's smile, his scalp feels numb!

But thinking about what he was about to say today, he calmed down and said, "Did you buy the wheat in the drying field? How could you buy such wheat? After grinding such wheat, there is not much flour except wheat bran. No. You can’t even use that kind of flour to pay taxes.”

Ye Zifen didn't expect him to say this, and she hadn't thought about how to answer him yet.

The old man was already impatient and began to teach him a lesson again, "For those sheep, you actually bought this kind of thing. You really have money and don't know how to spend it. Your parents are the same, and they are used to you doing nonsense. If I had known this, I would have to watch him. That's it, to prevent him..."

Lu Zili listened on the side and the more something was wrong, he quickly pulled his grandfather's sleeve.

Lu Dashan was interrupted by his grandson. Just as he was about to ask him what happened, he saw his grandson shaking his head at him.

Others don't know, but Lu Zili knows how profitable the sheep soup restaurant is. Not only can the wheat produce flour, but even if it doesn't, if it is eaten directly by the sheep, Ye Zifen will not suffer any loss.

After being interrupted by his grandson, Lu Dashan had forgotten what to say.

Turning to look at Ye Zifen, I saw that she was still smiling, but there was no emotion in her eyes and she was very cold.

Reluctantly muttering: "Oh! Even if I worry blindly, you won't listen. Just do whatever you want!"

After that, he put the shovel on his shoulder and left.

When Lu Zili saw it, he quickly nodded to Ye Zifen and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with the old man.

Ye Zifen looked at Lu Dashan walking away, rolled his eyes to the sky, followed his example, put the shovel on his shoulder and went home.

This afternoon, Ye Zifen wanted to give Lao Li a day off and let him go home for a visit, but Lao Li refused.

"I am no longer related to my parents, so why should I fill the graves of my ancestors? I'm not worried about this, so let me stay!" Lao Li said mockingly.

Zi Zifen also heard about his family's affairs. His family was in a similar situation to theirs, so naturally he wouldn't mind Lao Li's family!

"Okay, since there's nothing wrong, just keep focusing on what you're doing! I've really worked hard for you this month. I'll give you more money later." Ye Zifen said.

Lao Li is already used to the fifth lady's rewards. There is nothing more than more money.

He can't even remember how much money he should get every month.

After Ye Zifen returned home, she took out the burning paper at home and saw that there were still many, so she felt relieved.

Mu Hongzhou came to her and said calmly: "I'll be away for a few days!"

Ye Zifen nodded.

Before she could say anything else, Mu Hongzhou had already left. Just like during the Chinese New Year, I don’t take anything with me.

Why is Ye Zifen feeling a little sad for no reason?

Ye Ziwei came over and asked her: "Fifth sister, Master Mu is gone?"

Zifen took a deep breath to calm down those inexplicable emotions, and replied: "Well, I said I'm leaving for a few days. It's good for us to take a rest these days."

Ziwei said "Oh" and went back to the house to play with her brother.

Ever since Xiao Qi was picked up by her eldest sister, Xiao Liu has been playing with Ye Chengsi, and she is a good sister.

Mrs. Feng walked into the house from the door carrying a basket.

Ye Zifen saw something green in the basket and asked curiously: "What is it?"

Mrs. Feng smiled and handed the basket on her arm to Zifen: "Aiye! I plan to make an Aiwowo."

Zi Zifen was interested as soon as she heard it. Ever since Mrs. Feng came to the house, she rarely made these foods.

Now that she heard that she was going to make Aiwowo, her palms felt itchy again.

"Wait for me for a while, and I'll do it with you." After saying that, he ran back to the room to see if my aunt had left anything about how to eat mugwort leaves.

Flip through the notebook and search carefully.

Green dumplings, mugwort eggs...not to mention, they are really there.

I carefully wrote down a few ways to eat, and then went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Feng with the mugwort leaves.

When Ye Zifen saw Mrs. Feng, she was sitting on a small bench, picking mugwort leaves one by one.

Pick out the yellow leaves inside, put the picked ones in the pot on the other side, and even pinch off the young leaves inside with your fingernails.

Ye Zifen also brought a small bench to help Mrs. Feng pick.

"The young master's crying time is getting shorter and shorter now." When Mrs. Feng said about Ye Chengsi, her face was very kind.

"Well! He is growing up day by day and his health is much better. This is all due to you and Mama Song." Ye Zifen affirmed Mrs. Feng's hard work.

"This is what we should do. The young master is getting better and better, and my wife's health is getting better and better, so the guilt in my heart has lessened. If I could have protected my wife well that day, she would not have given birth prematurely. " Mrs. Feng still had lingering fears when she talked about what happened that day.

Ye Zifen pretended to be unhappy and scolded Mrs. Feng: "What are you talking about! My mother told us what happened that day after she woke up. If it weren't for you, we don't know what would have happened! Our family is very grateful to you. Can you Don’t say that again.”

Mrs. Feng nodded quickly, "No more, I will never say it again in the future."

She was lucky enough to meet such a good owner.

Hearing her assurance, Ye Zifen laughed again: "That's right, people! You have to look forward. Things in the world are impermanent, and what we can decide is our attitude toward these impermanences, don't you think?"

Mrs. Feng said flatteringly: "Miss Wu is indeed a well-educated lady. She knows so many things."

In a few words, the moxa leaves have been picked.

While Ye Zifen was washing mugwort leaves in a basin, she told Mrs. Feng how to make green dumplings and braised eggs with mugwort leaves.

As soon as Mrs. Feng heard this, she immediately went to prepare flour, glutinous rice flour, and yellow noodles. And eggs.

I put some water in the pot and planned to blanch the young mugwort leaves.

Zi Zifen washed the moxa leaves and put the old moxa leaves and moxa leaves into the casserole. I also put more than ten eggs in it, and finally added some salt.

Mrs. Feng led the fire to the small stove, lit it, and placed the covered casserole on it.

Ye Zifen put the mugwort leaves into the boiling water and stirred the mugwort leaves in the pot with chopsticks.

I didn’t forget to talk to Mrs. Feng: “Sister and the others should be back tomorrow. Let’s make more and let her take it back to eat.”

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she quickly asked: "Will the seventh lady come back with you?"

Zi Zifen knew that she was missing Xiao Qi, who would be very lively at home.

Everyone didn't get used to it when she left.

"They should be back. The older ones of us, Xiaoqi and Chengsi, will go to the grave tomorrow. I'll ask you and Mother Song to watch over it!" Ye Zifen warned.

"Hey! Don't worry, Fifth Miss, we will take good care of them both." Mrs. Feng agreed hurriedly.
