Yan Fei was indeed hardworking during the day.
With Ma Chao absent, there were over a dozen cows and a few pigs to feed, that work alone kept him busy. Grinding bone meal, breaking up feed, cleaning up cow dung and pigsties, if you wanted to work, there was always work to be done.
After finishing his work, he would level the ground on the empty plot of land to the east of the field.
Leveling the ground was simple, dig down the high places and pile up the low places. But dealing with the weeds were quite challenging, now that they have grown, they all needed to be dug out. Fortunately, in the middle of this piece of land, there were two ditches. He would fill them with those weeds and a lot of soil, then heap them with cow dung to make fertilizers since they would be used for planting later anyway.
