Chapter Eighty-Three: Trouble
It took half a month for the grain in Mei Liuer's field to finally take back home, this year's year is good, the harvest of the farmer is not bad, and he can still have a certain surplus after paying taxes, so that the family will not be hungry, of course, it is still a little difficult to eat a meal, but at least he will not starve to death.
Little Wolf Village and the surrounding villages are better, because Mei Liuer usually collects their family's agricultural and sideline products at a fair price, and the family has some extra income, so their life is relatively much better.
The money obtained from Mei Liu'er can be used for weekday expenses, and there is no need to sell grain, so the family will naturally be able to have more food to eat.
Mei Liu'er took all the crops in her own field back home, she gave the long-term workers a holiday to go back to collect their own crops, as for her land to be turned over, then take your time.
Mei Liu'er just asked Liao Daniu and Lu Yi to take nine strong labor youths from two to nine to tidy up the land to be planted with winter wheat first, and keep the others to slowly turn it over.
Mei Liuer's World Restaurant has been open for half a year, and the business is getting better and better, and most of the merchants passing by will choose to stop and eat at the restaurant, and then go on the road or enter the city (town).
On the first day of the autumn harvest, Mei Liu'er went to the field to ask everyone to use an awl, and the next day she went into the mountains to feed a group of white wolves and the white tiger family, and in the next few days, she went to the world's restaurant every day.
Everyone working in the restaurant in the world was worried at first, guessing whether Mei Liu'er was here to supervise their work.
But in the past few days, Mei Liuer has not pointed out everything in the restaurant, nor has she interfered in any management, she is all doing things according to the rules set before.
Everyone sensed that something was wrong, and they all knew that something might be happening, but they couldn't guess what was going to happen.
On this day, when the restaurant was closed, Qiu Guicai took a few shopkeepers who stayed in the store to clean up the store, except for the two who lived in front of the guard, the rest went back to the backyard to rest.
Qiu Gui is the shopkeeper of the world's restaurants, and he was also brought back by Mei Liuer from the state capital, but he did not sign a death contract, but signed a ten-year employment contract.
The world restaurant has a two-entry backyard, one is for the guys to live, the other is divided into two halves, half is for Qiu Guicai's family, and it is generally for the female workers who help in the store.
Qiu Guicai returned home, and his daughter-in-law Qiu Qin hurriedly greeted him, "The head of the house is back, go and freshen up, I have ready the hot water, I will bring you a basin of hot water to soak your feet."
"You rest, I'll do it myself, Xiaobao is sleeping," Qiu Guicai said to his daughter-in-law.
"I slept, I just slept for a while, and I didn't sleep until I didn't see you come back" Qiu Qin's mood was all kinds of good when he heard the head of the family ask about his son, and said with a smile.
"Just sleep," Qiu Guicai said as he went to freshen up.
Qiu Qin's went to bring a basin of hot water into the house again, although Qiu Guicai asked her not to be busy, but she still went to bring the water, the man earns money outside to support the family, and is very good to himself and Xiaobao.
When Qiu Guicai came back from freshening up, he saw the steaming footbath, Qiu Guicai walked over and gently hugged Qiu Qin's and said in the other party's ear, "Thank you for your hard work"
Qiu Qin's eyes turned red all of a sudden, she leaned her head on the man's arms, endured the tears in her eyes, and then said, "It's not hard, it's not bitter at all, as long as our family is together, it's not hard, and it's you who suffers, we have been staying at home, and it's you who are busy earning money to feed us outside, guess it's hard."
Women really don't want much, he just needs one who can know what you pay after you give, and feel and reciprocate it.
Qiu Guicai didn't speak, but holding the woman's hand unconsciously increased his strength, and after a while, Qiu Guicai let go of Qiu Qin's family and sat down to soak his feet.
Qiu Qinshi sat on the edge of the kang and started needlework under the lamp, while talking to her husband, "In charge, is there something going on in the restaurant, how do I watch my lady come to the restaurant every day in the past few days?"
"You also found out, there is nothing in the restaurant, everything in the house is in accordance with the instructions and rules formulated by the lady, and I don't look at the lady like there is something unruly in the restaurant, besides, don't I watch?"
"Do you say that the lady doesn't believe in our family, so she comes to the house every day to watch," Qiu Qin said worriedly.
"No, the lady is not that kind of person, besides, I asked the lady this question at the beginning, and the lady replied to me at the time, 'She is not suspicious of employing people here, and she does not need to be suspicious', I believe that the lady is a trustworthy person" Qiu Guicai said firmly to his wife.
"What could it be, the lady wouldn't have come here in the village when she was bored," Qiu Qin said suspiciously.
"There is really such a possibility, now that the autumn harvest is busy, the children in the school are going home from the farm vacation to help clean up the crops, and the lady will naturally be idle, and she may be idle if she has nothing to do," Qiu Guicai said.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Guicai said again, "This statement is not right, the lady is not such a person at first glance, she must have a deep meaning in doing this"
"Then don't think about it, since there is a deep meaning, then we just need to do what the lady tells us," Qiu Qin said.
"Well, you don't want to do needlework at night anymore, it's not good for your eyes" Qiu Guicai finished speaking, dried his feet, put on his shoes, and went out to pour the water for washing his feet.
When Qiu Guicai came back, Qiu Qin's had already packed up the sewing basket and put it away, and the couple went to bed and turned off the lights to sleep.
After the couple lay down, Qiu Qin's fell asleep after a while, but Qiu Guicai couldn't sleep, he vaguely felt that he seemed to understand the lady's intention to do this, but in a blink of an eye, he couldn't grasp the clue, he wanted to go crazy when he was irritable, of course he didn't know that there was the word 'crazy'.
Qiu Guicai was half asleep and half awake in a trance, and recalled that Mei Liu'er had crossed the bandits on the way back to take them back, and everyone including the man felt that it was over, only Mei Liu'er did not change her face.
Then when the other party bullied him, Mei Liu'er, who had no expression, made a lightning shot, and knocked down all the bandits in a few moves.
Qiu Guicai, who was already about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up and woke up Qiu Qin's family on the side, "What's wrong with the master?"
Qiu Guicai comforted his wife, "It's okay, it's okay, I just remembered the place where the vegetables were pulled in the field behind me today, I don't know if they planted them, it's okay to sleep."
Qiu Qin's fell asleep when he heard this, but Qiu Guicai was frightened by his own speculation.
The next day, at the most lively time in the world's restaurants, a loud shout came out, "Tell your shopkeepers to come out"
