Ding Dashan took the family to pick a servant, Ding Yiyi is now like the pillar of the family, there is her everywhere, fortunately, the workshop is on the right track, she sometimes leaves without any problems, this pick a servant is related to her family's business, she naturally has to choose carefully, her father and mother are honest people, maybe they will be led by the Chinese.

Because they had greeted them in advance, the Chinese people waited at the intersection early, and when Ding Yiyi's family arrived, they took them to the slums of the town to pick people.

The slums are dirty and messy, the houses are low and dilapidated, and many people are crammed into a large room waiting for a buyer. Ding Dashan looked at these people who sold themselves into slavery with emotion and sympathized with them.

The Ding family wanted to buy ten young and sturdy servants, and the middle man chose twenty young men to stand in a row. You make them hold out their hands and look at their hands: "You...... And you, just ten of you. The Chinese people immediately smiled and gave the deed of sale of these ten people to Ding Dashan.

"I wonder if you have a young and diligent girl? I want to buy one to be a maid. Ding Yiyi asked. "Yes, I'll bring it to you right away. The middle man went to lead people with a smile, and suddenly a man knelt on the ground, and Ding Dashan grabbed him and wanted to pull him up. "Master, please buy my sister, she is diligent and capable, my family was originally a scholarly family, and she was framed and caused by someone to fall into the middle of the family, so our brothers and sisters were sold into slavery. ”

Ding Yiyi glanced at the man a few times, and saw that he didn't look like a liar, but weren't the sons of the scholarly family all thin and weak, and full of scholarly anger?

"I see that you are tall and strong, not like a typical scholar. Ding Yiyi deliberately tried to find out where people came from, so as not to leak business opportunities.

"Don't hide it, Miss, I don't like to read since I was a child, I only love to dance knives and guns, and I have also found a master to teach, so I know some martial arts. "The man doesn't hide it. "Beg Miss to buy my sister, otherwise she may be sold to the Qinglou, my sister has a strong temperament, I am afraid that she will seek death if she really goes. The man pleaded, and Ding Yiyi wanted to see what this girl looked like.

While talking, the person in the middle of the conversation had already brought five young girls: "The young girls are all here, I wonder which one the young lady wants to buy?"

"Which is this man's sister?" Ding Yiyi said curiously. "This is. The Chinese man pointed to a girl with a delicate face and willow eyebrows and apricot eyes.

"Are you his sister?" asked Ding Yiyi. "Yes, the little girl is his sister. Ding Chen looked at this girl and was quite satisfied: "Let's buy her clothes, I see that she is the same age as you, just as a companion." "How old are you?" asked Ding Chen. "Mrs. Hui, I am ten years old this year. ”

Ding Yiyi also likes this little girl very much, she is a real ten-year-old, how can she be like her nine-year-old body and twenty-nine-year-old age. "Mother, I listen to you, just buy her. Ding Yiyi decided, the value of this maid's purchase, she can read and write, and when the time comes, she will be able to teach simple knowledge at home, just like buying an enlightenment teacher.

The man saw that the main family bought his sister, and thanked the Ding Yiyi family for his kindness, so his father and mother left him and his sister alone, and told him to take good care of his sister, and now that they have gone to a family, he can take care of his sister, so that his father's and mother's spirits in heaven can rest in peace.

Ding Chen also said that if he wants to buy a mother-in-law, it is best to buy a nurse, and the Chinese think: Yesterday, the gambler surnamed Wang in the town sold his daughter-in-law to himself, but this woman still has a child for a few months, and the gambler is too lazy to raise a child, so he actually gave it to his daughter-in-law. I don't know if this family can take them in, and I should accumulate virtue for myself, seeing that this family has bought so many servants, the mother and son should be able to eat enough after following them.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, ......yes, "What's that?" Ding Chen asked, following the topic. When the Chinese saw that there was a drama in this matter, he said with a sad face: "This woman was sold to me by a man, and she also has a two-month-old child with her, so she ......."

"You bring people in and we'll see them before we make a decision. Ding Yiyi interjected. The Chinese immediately went to a broken house to take people, Ding Yiyi thought to herself that there were few people in the family, and it would be good for many people to play with her brother, and she was distressed when she saw her brother's pitiful appearance that you didn't accompany me.

When the Chinese people brought the woman to everyone, they saw that the woman was ruddy-faced, healthy, and honest, so they decided to buy the woman back.

The Chinese man brought the deed of sale of the woman and the little girl, and Ding Dashan paid sixty-five taels of silver to the Chinese man, and he should have paid sixty-six taels, but the woman with a child was a mouth for eating, so he only needed sixty-five taels of silver. The male servant is five taels each, and the woman and the little girl are two.

Ding Dashan's family bought a satisfied servant and left happily, the Chinese looked at the silver in their hands, this time they earned another twenty taels of silver, and went to the restaurant to have a good meal to treat themselves.

Ding Dashan asked the little girl and the woman to follow Ding Chen back in the ox cart, and he walked home with the servants.

When Ding Dashan and his party arrived at home, it was already time to make lunch, and the newly bought woman Wang handed over the child to the little girl and followed Ding Chen to the kitchen to cook, and Ding Yiyi sat in the courtyard with Xiao Chen in the sun with him.

The sun fell on his body through the leaves overhead, the dappled sunlight was not sunny, Xiao Chen saw that there was a little guy who was younger than himself, and stretched out his chubby little hand to grab the little guy.

Ding Yiyi quickly knocked out his claws, the little guy flattened his mouth and looked like he would cry to you if you didn't catch me, Ding Yiyi said to him: "Xiao Chen, you are too naughty, I can't get used to you, so how can you pay it back when you are older?" Xiao Chen blinked his big black grape-like eyes, as if he didn't understand, but his sister didn't seem to let him catch the little guy.

When the meal was ready, Wang brought the food to the table, and went to the kitchen to cook the servant's meal, Ding Chen wanted to help, she said again and again, how could she let her wife cook for them, Ding Chen no longer insisted, there were still rules at home.

The family sat down to eat together, and the two children handed over to the newly bought maid, who took them to play on the mat spread in the yard, and the bamboo mat was spread on top of the mattress, so that there was no need to worry about the baby getting cold.

"Yiyi, I'm going to your grandma's house tomorrow, I haven't been to your grandma's house since the autumn harvest, do you want to go with you?" Ding Chen asked Ding Yiyi's opinion.

"Go, I haven't seen grandma for a long time, I miss her old man, I don't know if grandma is okay, bring some of the fried peanut oil to grandma." "Ding Yiyi has never seen grandma, because she is not the original Ding Yiyi, and she doesn't know anyone from grandma's family in the future, how embarrassing it is.
