The Feng family's farm is located at the border of Wanzhou County and Cheng'an County. It takes less than half an hour to get there by mountain road from Changliu Village, and it is even faster if you take a horse carriage.

Du Wanchun and Zhang Qiuhe soon arrived at the gate of the farm.

The farm was just as Mrs. Feng said, it looked messy and full of weeds, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time.

Zhang Qiuhe walked forward while pulling away the weeds with his hands: "The Feng family really knows how to waste things. Such a good manor has become like this."

After the two walked through the weed-covered yard, they continued to walk inside and found a small house. The front yard of this house was where the owner of the manor usually rested, and the backyard was where the servants in the manor lived.

Because no one took care of it for many years, the house became shabby.

Zhang Qiuhe pushed the house open and continued to walk inside, and found that it was full of dust.

Because no one lived in it for a long time, the two did not move forward.

Du Wanchun took a general look at the manor. It was very large, with fields, vegetable gardens, and woods. There were fruit trees planted by the Feng family in the woods. Although no one took care of it, it still grew a lot of fruit.

Zhang Qiuhe picked two plums and handed them to Du Wanchun, "Wanchun, try them."

Du Wanchun took them in his hand, wiped them with a handkerchief, and then took a bite, "The fruit is very sweet."

Zhang Qiuhe smiled and nodded, "Well, Wanchun, this farm is really a good place. I was worried before that we didn't buy enough land. With this farm, there is no need to worry at all."

Du Wanchun finished eating the fruit in his hand and looked up in the direction of the field in front. There was no wasteland in sight. It would take a lot of effort to reclaim it.

After the two of them took a brief look, they returned home and told Aunt Zhou about the situation of the farm.

Aunt Zhou stood up with a smile, "Tomorrow I will spend money to hire some long-term workers in the village to clean up the farm."

The third prince also said, "Tomorrow I will go with Lao Wu."

Du Wanchun was very happy to hear this and began to plan how to rebuild the farm.

The next day, not only did Aunt Zhou bring more than a dozen farmhands, but Zhou Ruiyuan also invited more than a dozen people.

It took only five or six days for thirty people to clear all the weeds in the farm.

The third prince also invited three or four craftsmen to repair the dilapidated houses.

Du Wanchun followed to the field and helped to reclaim the abandoned land.

Zhou Ruiyuan saw it from a distance and quickly pulled her back, "Wanchun, don't do these heavy work, just leave the rest to us."

Du Wanchun wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I have nothing to do, so I thought I could help, so I did it."

Zhou Ruiyuan took out a handkerchief with a look of pity and wiped her hands, "That won't work either. I said I won't let you do heavy work in the future, and I will definitely keep my word."

He finished speaking, while no one nearby was paying attention, he carried Du Wanchun on his shoulders, and then walked towards the nearby fruit trees.

"Husband, put me down quickly, don't let anyone see me." Du Wanchun said to him.

Zhou Ruiyuan seemed not to hear him, and continued to walk towards the orchard with her in his arms.

Finally, he stopped in front of a fruit tree and put Du Wanchun on a branch, "Just wait for us here."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and the shade of the fruit tree is very cool.

Du Wanchun felt much more comfortable sitting on the fruit tree.

Zhou Ruiyuan rolled up his sleeves to help weed and dig the ground.

He, a prince, and a county magistrate who had just passed the imperial examination, were like farmers helping to clean up the land in front.
