Picking peppers is a very rewarding experience. The red and green peppers are intertwined together and soon fill up several large backpacks.

Ye Guo was still worried whether the weight would exceed the limit, but she never expected that even the youngest Ye Mu carried more than her.

The original owner used to do some water-carrying work occasionally, so it shouldn't be that difficult for him to carry water. But Ye Guo couldn't do that. As a child who grew up in the city, he would be out of breath just carrying vegetables upstairs. He needed to deliver the vegetables to the door.

So now, in addition to two or three pounds of peppers for planting, the backpack also contains some chestnuts and the laurel tree that is about one meter tall.

I ate the dry food on the way back, and it was a little after ten o'clock when I got home.

"Wash the peppers first, drain the water, then you can start cutting. Xiaowan, what you are best at is similar to making basil sauce, except that you add some wine at the end so that it can be kept longer." Ye Guo started greeting as soon as he entered the door.

Old Man Ye went to the fields alone, while Mrs. Su and Mrs. Wang had already rolled up their sleeves, ready to take on the work.

"Wash your hands and drink some water first. The food is on the table. The second son's wife has fried the river fish and added some basil. It smells really good."

"After dinner, Xiaoguo, you go and have a rest first. Your Aunt Li has borrowed the ox cart at home. She will call you when the cart comes back." Old Mrs. Ye made arrangements in an orderly manner and helped the two children change their clothes.

"Aunt Li, what do you want to borrow the car for? Is there anything wrong?" Ye Guo asked while washing his hands with soap.

Ye Zifeng was taught very well by Aunt Li. They were from the same village and clan, so Aunt Li had to help when needed.

Old Mrs. Ye looked at her daughter in surprise. She was not such a warm-hearted person before.

Although someone has some realization, it is impossible to change. What a joke, he has traveled through the book, but he has not even opened a golden finger. It is questionable whether he can live to old age.

I definitely don't want to pretend.

Ye Guo washed his hands and sat down at the dining table. Instead of retreating, he continued to gossip, "Is anyone sick at home?"

It seems that her daughter has really changed her temper. Old Mrs. Ye smiled and shook her head. "Someone in Yanguo Village is preparing a banquet and wants her family's pickled cabbage as a side dish. They asked for six cylinders at once. This is not a small business. As soon as you left, they came to borrow the car."

"Your Aunt Li is a hard-working person, so she must have volunteered to help. But it's past lunch time, and by the time you wake up, the ox cart will have returned."

Six jars of pickled cabbage cost only 600 wen at most, and you still volunteered to help? In a society without human rights, labor is really cheap.

Ye Guo once again felt a sense of crisis about his situation, and thought to himself that he would go to the county school in the afternoon and get to know the teaching staff well. If that didn't work out, he would send Ali to study in Yongzhou Prefecture. In short, he had to get admitted as soon as possible.

Making money is not difficult, but being able to keep the money is the real skill.

But what she didn't expect was that not long after their ox cart left the village in the afternoon, she heard Ye Cheng lift the curtain to remind her, "Uncle, aunt, Ye An's ox cart seems to be following us."

Ye Guo: "How do you know it's hers?"

"The tarpaulin on her cattle shed is new and dark in color, which can be seen at a glance," Ye Cheng replied.

Her eyebrows jumped, and her mind repeatedly sorted out the key points in the plot of the book. Before she could figure out the reason, Ye Li's voice came out, "Don't worry about it for now, we will cross the dam soon, concentrate on driving the ox cart."

Following Ye Li's line of sight, Ye Guo saw a dam that was more than ten meters long. It was paved with some solid stones, with a gently sloping surface. The top of the dam was wide and flat, enough for a fully loaded ox cart to pass slowly.

Moss can be seen in deep water, and the turbulent river water in summer rushes through the rocks naturally.

"The water hasn't reached the top yet, let's walk over by ourselves!" Ye Guo suggested. The dam is not scary, but a rolling dam is.

She is a landlubber, and if she really falls into the water, the original owner might be able to save herself if she comes back to life.

"My second uncle has difficulty walking, and you are not heavy, so let's be safe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Cheng jumped out of the car first, carefully leading the sturdy bull, step by step up the gentle slope paved with stones.

Under the sunlight, the flowing water on the dam has a silvery-white luster, and the water splashes gently as the cow's hooves move.

Ye Li had a focused expression on his face, fearing that if he was not careful, the ox cart would be washed away by the rushing water.

But fortunately, they were not novices and they operated carefully and reached the other side smoothly.

The ox cart rumbled forward, but just as it turned a corner, it stopped with a whoosh.

"Aunt?" Ye Cheng was worthy of being the one who often followed Ye Guo, so he didn't need to explain it specifically, as the job had already been done.

Ye Guo's gaze swept across Ye Cheng and Ye Li's faces, and then met Ye Laoer's eyes that were watching the show.

"Weren't you very close to Xiao An before?"

Ye Guo felt that these words were mocking, and said unhappily, "Two people are called close, but one person can only be called flattering at best."

"So, who's trying to please whom?"

Hearing the laughing voice, Ye Guo didn't agree at all. He rolled his eyes and told him to experience it himself. "I have a feeling that something will happen here today."

"Rolling dam? Don't say that casually." Ye Laoer reminded in an ambiguous way.

"It's getting late. We can't afford to delay with Ali. Should we leave now?"

Ye Guo couldn't help but laugh: "Second brother, I didn't realize before that you are so afraid of things!"

There were no more than five ox carts in the village in total. They were not going to the market, and there was no prior agreement, so the chance of running into one was basically zero.

Although he doesn't trust his intuition, he is not really stupid and blind.

The gossip in the village was spread in the fields. Ye Yanshi divided up the family business, and his family made a lot of money from the tofu business. In less than a month, they had bought a new house, a ox cart, fields, and a new house.

It was an open secret that Ye An was the head of the family. Although Ye Siyuan had not seen it with his own eyes, he had heard Wang say it many times that his sister-in-law envied her family's door because it was broken down by matchmakers from a ten-mile radius.

"I heard that a distant relative moved into her house. Don't you dislike seeing outsiders?" Ye Lao Er said in a persuasive manner, "Besides, Boss Sun is very busy, and it's not good to keep people waiting for a long time, don't you think?"

He really felt that if something really happened, he must not wait if he could avoid it.

Ye Guo was also persuaded. It was more important to do the right thing, so he was planning to ask Ah Cheng and Ah Li to set out again, but then he heard an unfamiliar sound of horse hooves?

In front of the carriage were two tall and handsome horses, their manes meticulously groomed and shining with healthy luster. Bells were hung around the horses' necks, making pleasant sounds when they walked.

The body of the carriage is finely carved from precious rosewood, and the outside is decorated with gold inlay and gorgeous paintings. The curtains are made of the finest silk and embroidered with auspicious patterns.

There were no servants following the carriage. The driver was a young man about the same age as Ah Cheng, but he was dressed in tight clothes and a brand new straw hat.

The gorgeous horse-drawn carriage passed by the ox cart quickly, as if time was intertwined, reflecting the galaxy-like gap between the rich and the poor in this era.
