Since he has decided that he wants to serve the Wang family in the future, he is not so repulsed in his heart when he accepts the kindness of the Wang family now. I only thought that what I needed to do was to keep my heart clear, and I must remember my duty and complete my functions in the Wang family until I stepped down, which is to repay the acceptance and protection of the Wang family.

Even though he had already decided in his heart to accept the Wang family's employment, he did not express his position immediately, only said: "Thank you Boss Wang for looking up to Lao Liao and me, although I have the intention in my heart, but I still want to go back and calm down, and then discuss with the child's mother." At least two days of calm before deciding, after deciding to accept your appointment, I will follow you steadfastly, and will never be affected by other things. ”

Xiaohu smiled and expressed his understanding, and explained: "Uncle Liao doesn't need to feel embarrassed, the reason why I am here to say this is to dispel the doubts in your heart, and I don't want you to make a decision immediately." It stands to reason that we should solemnly extend our invitation to you, but I was rude! ”

Third Uncle Wang was a little anxious when he saw them coming and going politely, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "Don't waste your time here for such a little thing." After the land is demarcated, quickly find someone to build a house, and Brother Liao's family does not have to be busy with farming, so it is better to find a special house builder to build the house as soon as possible. I still have to set bricks and tiles, wood, and find labor, and there are many more things! ”

Liao Chengzhi nodded hurriedly and said: "Brother Shoucheng is right, then let's go back and make a budget, and it is best to calculate how many stones, bricks, tiles, and timber we need first, so as not to get a lot less time, which will affect the process or money." ”

They originally planned to come back directly, but in order to learn more about the place where they would live for the rest of their lives, Liao Lin proposed to go around the town with Liao Chengzhi and the others.

Xiaohu couldn't let them walk around on their own, so he drove the carriage around the small town that was not very big. Along the way, he introduced: "This is a newly established market, which was put into use a year ago, and it is a market every three and eight days. Today is actually the market on the eighth day of the new year, but there are few people who know about it at present, so there are fewer people who set up stalls in the market and fewer people who buy things, and it is estimated that in two or three months, this market will be really lively. This market is close to the premises you have chosen, so it will be convenient for your aunt to set up a stall in the market in the future. ”

Go to a few workshops of Xiaohu's house. Xiaohu only mentioned it slightly: "This is a few workshops of my family. There are also places where orphans and widowed women live.

The large row of houses outside the courtyard is a school for children, and your family's holly can study here in the future. ”

Liao Chengzhi thought of those children of the other race, so he casually asked, "Do the children of those herdsmen also live here?" They don't understand what we're talking about. Can it work? ”

Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes! They all live here, and my grandfather helped find a foreign descendant whose ancestors had not returned to the grassland, and came to help them learn to speak our family's language. I just came to see it the day before yesterday. They're doing well, and they're adapting pretty quickly. I just don't like bathing. It was a headache for the mothers-in-law who took care of them. Xiaohu laughed as he spoke, these children don't like to take a bath, and there is always some peculiar smell on their bodies, which makes other children unacceptable. Mother-in-law help them bathe. I don't want to.

Erya and Xiaohu had to come over almost every day in the past few days to mediate the quarrel between the children. Later, there was really no other way but to temporarily let the children on both sides live and live separately. On the other hand, they persuaded the mothers who came with them to help the children slowly change some of their living habits. It's been a long time. When they know that there is enough water here, they can use it freely without being afraid of waste, and gradually develop good hygiene habits, they will be able to slowly integrate into the living habits here.

Liao Chengzhi carefully looked at Xiaohu's expression when he talked about these children, and he didn't see the slightest impatience, so he secretly admired it in his heart.

I also showed them the few shops in the town, although they were small and small, but they could provide some daily necessities necessary for the normal life of the surrounding people. What salt, sugar, wine, ironware, cotton, cloth, and so on!

Because the town is really small and only roughly turned, it's fast. When they got home, Erya's meal hadn't even started to cook.

Erya, who was busy designing baby clothes, was stunned for a moment when she saw them come back so early. Xiaohu went to the backyard to set up the carriage, and Uncle Wang led Liao Chengzhi and his wife and son into the hall to see Erya.

Liao Chengzhi met Xiaohu's daughter-in-law for the first time today, and in the face of this Shoucheng brother, who was said to be the actual head of the Wang family, he would inevitably have some curiosity as an ordinary person.

His eyes fell on the drawings that Erya had placed on the table, although he didn't know what they were for. But there is one thing he can clearly know, that is, this little tiger daughter-in-law is an outlier who can be regarded as an outlier among rural women today, and can write and read.

When Erya saw them come in, she had already stood up and prepared to salute. However, seeing that Liao Chengzhi was stunned when he only looked at the design drawings on her desk, he didn't do anything more, just asked Liao Lin with a smile: "Aunt Liao, have you all chosen the premises?" How can it be so fast! ”

Liao Lin knew that his man was a little rude, so he touched the child's father without a trace when Erya asked. The other side answered Erya's question seriously: "We have already selected a few pieces of real estate, and we are in a hurry to come back because his father wants to calculate the materials used to build the house, and we want to build the house as much as possible!" ”

Liao Chengzhi had already recovered from the surprise of how a rural woman could read and write, and then asked from his own woman's words: "I heard that your Wang family has a special builder, I don't know" Liao Chengzhi said that he didn't know how to call Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, so he paused, and then said his purpose: "Can you introduce it to me?" ”

Erya could hear that Liao Chengzhi paused because he didn't know what to call himself, so he solved the problem first: "Uncle Liao can call me the lady of the owner, you can also call me Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, or you can call me my nephew and daughter-in-law!" You can call me like my third uncle. As for the craftsman's matter, it is very simple, you can let someone bring a letter over at this time, let him come over, you can discuss the specific things, and he will help you with the budget materials. You'll save a lot of trouble! ”

"Hey! Okay, thank you to the owner. I think I'll call you the proprietor! If you call me uncle, I don't dare to really call myself uncle! ”

Erya smiled and shook her head, and before she could speak, Xiaohu had already placed the carriage and tied the horse into the hall.

Erya asked Xiaohu with some incomprehension: "Why don't you let the third uncle come back with Uncle Liao and Aunt Liao?" Drop by and look at the fields over there, and meet the foreman to arrange for spring ploughing. "Er Ya has become accustomed to the high rhythm and overall planning method of later generations. There are things that can be done in passing. It's usually a one-time solution. Running for one thing alone seemed to her stupid.

Xiaohu hehe smiled and explained: "Hehe! I thought it was still early for spring ploughing, so I didn't think about it. Why don't I go over tomorrow? ”

Third Uncle Wang also said beside him: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, the arrangement is not bad for this day or two, and it is not a big deal to go over tomorrow, and it is not a particularly busy time yet." ”

Liao Chengzhi was embarrassed to say anything. After all, Xiaohu is doing things for his own family. But I couldn't help but be surprised and funny in my heart. A woman is worried about the work on the farmland, and it is really strange to see it today. No wonder the Wang family wants a woman to be in charge of the house, which is indeed too strong.

Erya had other plans, so she explained: "You should go there in the afternoon and arrange for the seedling field to be raised." We're going out tomorrow for something. It may take several days to come back. At that time, we will be busy making tea, opening the shop, registering the real estate title deed in the Shangguan Mansion, and my mother's due date is also in the near future, all of which will be rushed together. So. What you can do in advance is to do it as far in advance as possible, so as not to be too busy when you rush to the head. ”

At this time, Liao Chengzhi and his wife knew that the relationship between the proprietor and the lady was because there were many things to do. Had to arrange in advance now!

Liao Chengzhi thought that it was no wonder that this Wang family let a woman be in charge of the house, and this arrangement could be arranged until a few days later, and they were ordinary people's families, and no one's family would be solved at the end of the matter.

Liao Lin thought that it was no wonder that this hostess was busy and had no time to get along with others, so she even had to think of arranging things for the next half a month or even a month, plus there were many family events, where would she still have free time. Liao Lin was originally not good at dealing with people, but now he knows that he doesn't have to interact with the hostess much, and he feels a lot more relaxed.

It was not early at noon, and the three men were sitting in the hall drinking tea and talking, while Erya and the nurse and Liao Lin were busy cooking in the kitchen. The nurse washes rice and washes vegetables, Liao Lin's burns the fire, the second Ya chops vegetables, and stir-fries.

After eating, Xiaohu went to the town for a short time, and the craftsman who helped Xiaohu's family build a house got the news and rushed over. Liao Chengzhi set up tables and stools in the courtyard with the craftsmen, and talked about the cost of building a house, materials, manpower, food, drinking and other matters.

Considering that his family had no way to provide food and tea in the town, Liao Chengzhi learned from the time when Xiaohu's family built a house, regardless of eating and drinking, and the one-time bag of people's hands was all in charge of the craftsman.

In terms of materials, Liao Chengzhi himself decided according to the previous supplier of her family given by Erya, because Erya had an agreement with others before, and the materials that were not used up could be returned at the original price as long as they were not damaged, and this was also the point that Liao Chengzhi was most satisfied with.

At night, when he was sleeping, Xiaohu asked the question that he had been holding back for most of the day: "Daughter-in-law!" What's going on tomorrow? And how many more days? ”

Erya paused for a while before asking Xiaohu: "Do you remember that you lost your family in a bet?" ”

Xiaohu was even more puzzled, hasn't this been a long time ago? And those mountains have not heard of anyone to recognize, and the tea plantations are also picking their own homes. Could it be that someone from those tea gardens has come to ask for it? When Xiaohu thought of this, he was full of excitement, and the cold sweat came out, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask anything out loud.

Erya didn't know where Xiaohu wanted to go, and before Xiaohu could speak, he continued: "You were detained there by the gambling house at that time, and with my temperament, I really wanted to smash their gambling house." It's a pity that we don't have the strength to back up and can't afford the consequences of doing that, so I can only admit it with humiliation.

But I don't want to encounter such a situation in the future and suffer from such a nest, so I let people choose a place in the deep mountains and build a base to cultivate backbone talents for our family.

Originally, I didn't plan for you to meddle in this matter, but we are a family, and it is the children's day, if we have to think about each other, you guard against me and I guard against you, then what day do the children have!

Therefore, tomorrow not only you will go, but also Wen Chao and Wen Yue will also follow, there except for you, me, Xiaolong, Wen Chao, and Wen Yue, you can't let anyone know, you may understand the strictness of this? ”

Of course Xiaohu knows, it's just: "Will Wen Chao and Wen Yue be too young, will it be appropriate for them to know so early?" ”

Erya pursed her lips, struggling in her thoughts for a while, but still felt that the two children should be allowed to participate in some affairs at home earlier: "I think that there are some things in the family in the future, and Wen Chao and Wen Yue should be involved." It's like letting Xiaolong participate early, so that they can not only understand housework earlier, so that they won't be fooled by people with intentions in the future, but also let them know that everything is not easy. And it is not easy to be raised into a dogmatic puppet by a rigid teacher. What do you think!? ”

Of course, Xiaohu agrees, he feels that his rapid growth is obtained from following Erya to work hard for life. Whether it is hunting in the mountains, or going into the city to trade, or going to the frontier to take risks to sell illicit tea, or later fighting alone to negotiate transactions with those elite shopkeepers in the city, these are all growth experiences that I have not had in the past ten years combined. So: "I agree with you, the book says that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, maybe that's what it means!" (To be continued)

ps: I'm sorry, I have to ask for leave again, and I have to go back to Beijing tomorrow, because I have to take a car from home several times, so I left very early. Tomorrow we will stop for another day. I'm so sorry!
