Chen Lizheng ignored Patriarch Li's aggrieved face, patted Chen Guo on the shoulder and said, "To do this, you have to owe your classmates a favor, right?"

Although today's matter was Chen Guo's idea, he, Chen Lizheng, had done it out of his mouth, and the people in the village must be grateful to him, so Chen Lizheng was particularly pleased with Chen Guo now.

"How about you come to my uncle's place in the evening, and he will bring you some good tea, and you can send it to that classmate's house."

Chen Guo smiled and said: "Uncle, there is no need to send tea. My relationship with him is very good. This little thing does not count as owing him a favor."

The next morning, Chen Ping and Heizi pulled a cart and delivered six iron plows to Dongpo.

Niu Zhixin and Si Sheng hurriedly came forward to catch them, asked people to pour tea, and brought out melon seeds to entertain them.

Chen Ping took the tea and said: "Chen Guo is still in the village borrowing other farm tools for you. When they are all collected, you can come and bring them back."

Heizi sat awkwardly at the table with a tea bowl in hand. Hearing this, he said, "You don't need to go there. I'll bring it to you when everything is collected."

After Heizi finished speaking, he chuckled. When he looked up, he suddenly saw Lu Wang's figure not far away and hurriedly shrank behind Chen Ping.

Before he finished speaking, two more mule carts came up the path. Two strong young men jumped out of the cart, and Si Sheng rushed to greet them.

The tall young man smiled lightly and said, "Are you Ye Xiucai? We are from the Li family, and we are here to deliver the grinding plate to you."

Si Sheng hurriedly thanked them and invited them to come over for tea first. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Lu Wang had already called a few men to come over and unload the truck.

The two young men walked to the tea table, saw Chen Ping and Heizi, smiled at each other, and then each took their tea bowls and drank tea.

When Chen Ping saw that the iron plow on the truck had been unloaded, he stood up and said, "Ye Xiucai, we are going back first, and we will send you the tools later."

Seeing Chen Ping and Heizi walking away, the tall young man said: "Ye Xiucai, these rollers and stone rollers are so heavy that they can't even be pulled by a mule cart. You have to find a suitable place to set it up to avoid having to worry about it again."

Moved a second time.”

Si Sheng smiled and said: "The place to set up the mill has been decided. It's right next to the well. It's quite close to the Jin family. It's also convenient for other families to use."

The tall young man nodded, hesitated and said: "The millstone that Patriarch Li promised, someone from the Chen family happened to be grinding beans on it this morning, so... I will bring it to you later when I have an opportunity."

Si Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This millstone is enough. Go back and tell Chief Li that we won't be using the millstone for the time being, so he doesn't have to move it anymore."

The two young men seemed to be relieved, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell Patriarch Li."

After seeing off the Li family's mule cart, Niu Zhixin said to Si Sheng: "It seems that not only the patriarch Li and Chen Lizheng are not dealing with each other, but the clan members with the two surnames Chen and Li also seem to have conflicts."

Si Sheng nodded, "Let's not get involved with them. This matter is over. Uncle Xin, now that we have some farm tools, you can go arrange the work in the fields."

Niu Zhixin had long wanted to harness the animals to help plow the fields. After hearing Si Sheng's words, he happily asked people to select animals. However, before leaving, he did not forget to leave a few people to set up the grinding plate...

Si Sheng looked at Niu Zhixin's brisk figure and smiled, then turned and returned to Ye's house.

Si Sheng entered the thatched house first, spread out the basin wrapped in cotton quilt, and gently dug at the dough in the basin. He saw that the dough was covered with pores and small eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth.

, the facial hair is healed.

Si Sheng wrapped the basin as it was and excitedly went to the sugar workshop behind the village base. Sugar had been being made here since last night.

Mrs. Wang was sitting in front of the sugar pot and lighting the fire. Seeing Si Sheng coming over, she said happily: "There is only one pot of sugar left, and it will be all finished in half an hour."

Si Sheng said: "Okay, we have also made about ten kilograms of white sugar, which is enough for the time being. Mom, you can go and rest after finishing this."

Mrs. Wang suddenly stood up and asked: "Fourth child, didn't you say you wanted us to start a new business? Why didn't you let us do it after only one night and one morning?"

Sui Xin's wife and Mr. Zhao's wife were standing by the big pot stirring sugar. After hearing this, they looked at Si Sheng worriedly.

Si Sheng hurriedly explained, "Mom, you are not allowed to do anything. You should rest for a day or two. After I finish the sales in the city, we can officially start work."

Mrs. Wang knew that she had misunderstood, so she smiled coquettishly, sat down, added a handful of firewood to the stove, and murmured in a low voice: "Actually, we don't need much rest."

Si Sheng shook his head helplessly and entered another thatched hut.

Dasheng, Suxue, and Wang Zeran were lying beside the pottery jar, carefully putting the condensed white sugar into the sugar jar.

Si Sheng said: "Brother, I'm going to try making new food later, and I have to ask Xue'er to help me. You and Wang Xiaozi have finished making these two pots of candy, and then rest."

Da Sheng smiled and said: "Okay, you go ahead. Now that we are done here, I have to take care of the livestock. Yesterday, Uncle Xin said that if the village sends plows over, we will start plowing non-stop. The livestock will have to be plowed."

If you eat hard, I'll go get some good feed and come back to give extra meals to each family's livestock."

Wang Zeran looked at Si Sheng with wide eyes, "Uncle, I'm going to help you too."

Si Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, come over after you finish the work here."

Wang Zeran raised the corners of his mouth at Suxue, and Suxue smiled back at him.

Si Sheng and Suxue came out of the sugar workshop and saw Ge and Gao cooking lunch on the stove. The chopping board and stove were both occupied, so they turned around and went to Dazhu's house next door.

Dazhu's family has a small population, so lunch has been prepared.

Dazhu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. He, was walking towards the thatched house with three bowls of soup noodles. When she saw Si Sheng and Suxue, she greeted with a smile: "Fourth brother, Junni, you are here. Come and sit down quickly. I will serve them for you."

Let’s eat.”

Si Sheng said hurriedly: "Brothers and sisters, don't be busy, we are here to borrow your pot and stove."

Before He could speak, he heard several children's voices one after another, "Sister, dad." "Fourth uncle, third sister." "Fourth uncle, third sister."

It turned out that Yong'an, Xiaoni and Niu Niu were playing here, and the three of them ran over quickly with chopsticks in their hands.

Xiaoni said: "Fourth uncle, are you here to ask us to go back for dinner? We are eating noodles at uncle's house today and we are not going back for dinner."

These children play together all day and night, and often eat together at Ye's house, and sometimes at Yang's house, but no one pays much attention to it.

Mr. He put the noodle bowl in his hand on the stone in front of the thatched house and said with a smile: "Okay, come and eat."

The three children ran back again and sat around the stone, each holding a bowl and blowing into their mouths.

Suxue smiled and said: "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn yourself. No one will ask you to go back to eat."

Mrs. He looked at the three children and smiled, "It's delicious to grab food. Children are all like this."
