Chapter 219: Removal of Serving

At Qiu Chen's request, the Shunzi family took Chen's to thoroughly clean the kitchen, and strictly implemented the kitchen operation specifications such as separating raw and cooked food and cooking fully. He also supervises the family and animals not to drink cold water, and to eat as little or raw food as possible......

These seemingly troublesome new rules made Jialiang and Shen Hu and others complain bitterly, and secretly complained a lot, but under the closely watched policy of the Shunzi family, they had to take a hard face and take a bath and change clothes every day, and wash their hands and face before every meal.

The next morning, she went to the workshop, and after seeing that there was no water in the workshop and the surrounding environment was not bad, she was slightly relieved, and then arranged for Xu Qianzhi to draw people from the workers to completely clean up the environment around the workshop, and dig a deep burial of garbage. He personally watched the kitchen clean up, and repeatedly told the kitchen to boil enough hot water every day and put it in a special bucket with a lid for the workers to drink. And take out a batch of soap from the soap base, distribute two pieces to each worker, and prepare it in the workshop so that it is easy for the workers to clean and use.

“…… Not to mention the accumulation of water caused by the heavy rain this time, it is now close to the left, the weather is getting hotter, the food and drinking water are not clean, it is easy to cause diseases, and even cause food poisoning...... In addition, the flooding in the southern counties is even more severe, and there may be a few days when people will be displaced from the disaster...... Those people are more likely to bring any diseases, let's manage them in advance, there are really displaced people coming, and we can deal with them more calmly. Qiu Chen knew that his own approach might be difficult for people to accept, so he patiently explained to Xu Qianzhi, "You can't help eating and drinking, you must be clean to ensure that workers don't get sick." You have to worry a lot these days, and take some of the stronger ones out of the workers, and take turns walking around the workshop every day. If there are really displaced people, they must send more people to patrol day and night......"

To put it clearly, Xu Qianzhi also knows the stakes well, so he naturally doesn't dare to ignore it in the slightest. Later, he put forward another opinion: "Madam, if there are many displaced people, I am afraid that these workers alone will not be able to do it, so what do you think of going to the wharf to transfer some manpower over at that time?" ”

Qiu Chen thought for a moment, didn't answer, and asked instead, "If we spend money to hire people, such as a dart game or something, can we find some people with good kung fu to come over?" You are familiar with people in Anyang, you inquire, is there a reliable dart master, don't want to dart to live that kind of unstable life, let's invite over, even if only two or three are invited, they take the workers to patrol and guard, and there are more rules than ordinary people. ”

Xu Qianzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he agreed with an approving face: "Okay, okay, or Mrs. is thoughtful." I'll go and ask someone about it today, and if I have a letter, I'll take someone to show it to my wife. ”

Qiu Chen smiled, wanting to say that he didn't have to worry about it, but when the words came to his lips, he nodded and agreed.

"Inquire about the truth, there are really reliable dart masters, boxers and the like, and it doesn't hurt to have a few more. We can use it in a lot of places. Saying that, Qiu Chen added, "When you inquire, by the way, carefully inquire about the daily income of the dart masters, let's double the remuneration for him, but you must be optimistic, inquire about the truth, you must be good at fists and feet, and you must be able to do it for a long time." You can also clearly tell him that he is not afraid when he is older, and it is better to have a small family, as long as he does his best to work hard, we will provide for him, and his family can also arrange to work in the workshop. ”

Xu Qianzhi nodded his head while listening, discussed it with Qiu Chen carefully, and then hurriedly entered the city.

Watching Xu Qianzhi's back walk away, Qiu Chen thought silently.

In the past, when the workshop was built, it was specially located away from the village in order to protect the environment and ease of management. From the water bandit incident that day to the current tide of displaced people, she began to re-examine the safety of the workshop. If the workshop is next to a village, or a village or town, densely populated and with many households, it can also avoid the calculations of some well-intentioned people to a certain extent. If the workers' families are placed around the workshop, firstly, the workers will feel at ease, and secondly, the workers' families will always be oriented towards the workshop to a certain extent, and it will be easy to organize and arrange anything.

This is not a trivial matter, it is better to write a letter to Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing as soon as possible to discuss. If it can be determined, then build some houses next to or around the workshop, at a distance of apart, and distribute them as prizes according to the work of the workers.

Returning from the workshop outside the city, Qiu Chen took a detour and went to Erkui's house.

From the initial dazed and helpless, to now, the Erkui family has known the neighbors and gradually become familiar with them. Shanzi was sent to study in a private school not far away, Erkui went to the forest house every day to work, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu were there, Erkui fed the horses and took care of the vehicles, and drove in and out. Qiu Chen and Lin Xu were not there, so they took care of the two gardens connected to the two families. After his daily management, although the flowers and trees of the Lin family do not see many rules, they are becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and they are a thriving scene.

After getting out of the car, the black lacquered wooden door of Erkui's house was half open, Qiu Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door, and went straight into the courtyard.

The little yellow dog came out of nowhere, barked twice, and then wagked its tail to meet it. Qiu Chen raised his hand and patted the yellow dog's round head, touched a piece of dim sum from the snack bag in his hand and threw it over, the little yellow dog wagged his tail happily, took the snack and ran to the side to eat.

"Who?" The response of the Erkui family came out of the house, holding a white fat doll in his arms, it was October that he hadn't seen for many days.

As soon as he saw Qiu Chen, the Erkui family happily hurried up to greet him: "Oh, Aunt Haitang, when did you come here?" Brother Xu has passed the test, right? ”

Qiu Chen came back late last night, and there was no noise, he went out of the city early this morning, Erkui used to work, and he hasn't come back yet, because Erkui's family still doesn't know the news that Qiu Chen entered the city.

The continuous questioning made Qiu Chen amused, she didn't answer first, she directly reached out and took October in her arms, teasing it once, Xiao October didn't recognize life, she giggled and laughed non-stop when she teased, a few fleshy little nests on her cheeks, and white little teeth, were so cute that they were twelve points, which was really rare.

After entering the house, Qiu Chen sat down and answered the inquiry of the Erkui family. As soon as he heard that Lin Xu had passed the exam and was still third, the Erkui family immediately rejoiced: "Brother Xu is really rare, our Liu Jiaao is the first talented master!" In the future, I don't have to kneel when I see the county lord......"

Qiu Chen smiled and listened to her sigh, and then asked about the living conditions of Erkui's family.

Erkui's family said: "You are so busy, and you always think about us...... Okay, okay, everything is fine, you can rest assured! ”

After speaking, the Erkui family followed closely and said: "A few days ago, Grandma Shanzi came over, she is still strong now, and the family can be separated, I just want to take her and show me October, I can get rid of my hand, you can also arrange a job for me!" ”

The Erkui family signed the deed of ownership just to have an excuse, and Qiu Chen didn't really think about letting them and his wife come over as servants. But after these days, Qiu Chen realized that what he thought was too simple and general, the two members of the Erkui family left Liu Jiaao, and they were both honest and honest, and they had no business skills, so if they really didn't let their husband and wife come in to work, their lives would be difficult. Anyway, before, the Erkui family also did needlework for the Lin family for nearly half a year...... This kind of identity doesn't have to be so dogmatic and rigid.

Qiu Chen patted Erkui's family soothingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to tell you about this when I come back." ”

“…… After all, October is small, and there is no weaning, you still have mountains and stones to take care of, and the work of leaving home is not very suitable. We have to find someone to make the curtains and tents in our house, so I will simply hand them over to you. This summer's ones are already available, so you can start now, make cotton curtains, cotton mats or something in winter...... Each month is counted at 800 wen, plus four seasons of clothing. ”

The Erkui family wanted to say something, but Qiu Chen raised his hand to stop him: "You take care of the child at this time, and you should also pay attention to your body, don't rush to work, just do it before the stove in September and half of life." ”

Erkui's red eyes agreed to come down. Qiu Chen talked to her again, went to the wing room to see the stone that was writing, and said to the stone that he would take him back to live for a few days when Liu Jiaao was born, and immediately jumped up with joy. I also instructed the Erkui family, and if there was nothing to do, I took the child to the yard over there, followed a few of the Shunzi family, did needlework, and didn't get bored in this small courtyard every day.

Back at home, Lin Xianniang had already turned back from the dim sum shop. The two talked together and had lunch together, and the business of Zhilu Dao dim sum shop was gradually on the right track, and there were basically no dim sum left every day, and Qiu Chen was also happy for her.

After that, Qiu Chen reminded Lin Xianniang that the price of grain must rise after the flood, and if there is money to spare, she will collect some food, and told her to take someone to the car every day, and to pay attention to safety. Lin Xianniang accepted them one by one.

After lunch, Lin Xianniang asked Erkui to take the car to the grain store to see the grain, and Qiu Chen wrote a letter to Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, discussing the construction of the workers' house, and talked about the flood. The letter was written, and Jialiang sent it to Zhishu to the capital.

Just after breakfast on the second day, Xu Qianzhi handed over the message, saying that he had inquired about two dart masters, both of whom were from Anyang Mansion, one had been walking darts in Anyang Mansion Dart Bureau, and the other had been walking darts in Ningyuan Dart Bureau in Qinghe County before, all of whom had been darts for many years.

Qiu Chen listened very well, and asked Xu Qianzhi to make an appointment with two old darts to come to the Lin family to meet. Both of them are in their early forties, one is tall and thin and the other is short and fat, with a relatively strong smell of rivers and lakes in their actions, Qiu Chen politely greeted and said the words of tea kung fu, looked back at Qin Yong, and saw that he nodded almost invisibly, so he agreed to be hired. Like the workers, they try to do it for three months, and after three months, they are sure that they are competent, and then they officially sign the long-term contract.

However, unlike the workers, after the discussion, Qiu Chen's family gave them ten taels of silver, asked them to settle the family, settled the family, and went to the workshop to start work two days later. The two dart masters did not refuse, and generously accepted the silver and resigned.

stayed in Anyang City for two more days, and Lin Xu entered Anyang City with Han Jingyu and Yao Yunxiu. Yao Yunxiu still lives in the Lin family, he can't go to Guo's house to take classes, but he has to go to the school every ten years to attend classes, and he studies on his own in the Lin family.

Qiu Chen prepared a thank you gift for Lin Xu to go to Guo's mansion, and after sending him to see Master Guo, he began to resume his regular life of attending classes and reading, so he arranged everything and rushed back to Liujiaao from Anyang City.

In Liu Jiaao's workshop, as the heavy rain stopped, Luo Bu Ma and healing medicine resumed normal production. The water level in the pond has also dropped a bit. The pepper seedlings in the field were still affected, and two percent of the seedlings died. However, being able to leave eighty percent will not affect her pepper planting promotion plan next year.

Back in Liujiaao, Qiu Chen went to Liu Yugui's house and told Lao Cunzheng about the flood in the south. It's just that Liu Yugui didn't care much, Liu Jiaao is more than 100 miles away from Anyang Mansion, and then the counties to the south are even farther away in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't think so, Qiu Chen didn't say much, but went home and asked Qin Li and Qin Yong to draw twenty young men from the workers, equipped with Qi Mei sticks, trained them, and stayed on duty in the workshop every night, patrolling around the Lin family, including the school and Lan Ying's house, and quietly guarded.

As for the Lin family, they are also loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Yang Shumeng has to patrol every night, see the courtyard doors locked everywhere, and put ingots and oranges in the backyard every night before going to bed.

The Lin family is concentrated in the front three courtyards, and only some livestock and poultry are placed in the backyard, which is very empty, and the back is against the hillside, which is more difficult for the Lin family to guard. However, with the lurking strange soldiers of ingots and oranges, Qiu Chen can basically rest assured. The ingots and oranges are more than eight months old, tall and strong, like a calf. Moreover, captivity and children's playfulness have not eroded their good genetic characteristics, and it is very restrained towards the living, but as long as the other party shows a hint of hostility, it can unceremoniously pounce. Even the orange that seems to sleep lazily every day, runs up the mountain with Ah Fu, and brings back the hare more than once, which is also not to be underestimated.

Time slipped imperceptibly into June.

The news came back from the county mansion, and everything was calm. In addition to a few depressions, there is still some stagnant water in Liujiaao, and the water in most of the fields has also receded, and the villagers are busy planting some crops with short growth cycles. Qiu Chen said hello to the villagers who knew each other again, and the land that could not grow grain could be planted with vegetables, regardless of the variety, and there were hundreds of people in the workshop who could eat, and they didn't have to worry about selling it.

Floods, displaced people, etc., it seems that Qiu Chen is really too worried. Gradually, people are a little relaxed, but Qin Li and Qin Yong have always been loose on the outside and tight on the inside, patrolling every day with young people who have already had some appearance.

Qiu Chen had been holding a string in his heart, but he began to work on another thing.

According to Liu Sanhe's memory at the beginning, in June, Lin Sheng 'died' for 27 months, and she and her children were able to go out.

Because the original sacrifice day was not allowed, and there was no accurate day for this costume, I only sent someone to Dongshan to ask Qu Banxian to calculate a suitable day, which was set on the fourth day of the sixth month. and invited Qu Banxian to come over and preside over and do a transcendent ceremony.

Due to various reasons, this time, Qiu Chen just said to Liu Yugui, Liu Dachuan and other old people in the village, and he didn't make too much noise. But even so, the surrounding villages soon knew that the boss of the Lin family was really dead at the border pass, and the letter that he had not died before was a rumor.

There are also people who are moved in their hearts, in addition to serving, the widows and children of the Lin family can get married again. Not to mention anything else, as for the Lin family's huge family business, which is to build a house, buy land and open a workshop, if you can marry the widow of the Lin family, this family business will be your own.

However, there are many people who are active in their minds, but there are no people who really dare to recruit for the time being. Not to mention anything else, just those individuals raised by the Lin family, who are big men. Moreover, the Lin family is the Lin family, and even the lord of the county has a good relationship with it, if he is annoyed, he is afraid that the beating will be light, and if he doesn't do it, he will go to prison for dinner. Those idlers touched their little bodies, and had to press down the impatience, or occasionally pour a few mouthfuls of yellow soup, and use the strength of wine to enjoy their mouths.

Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to these.

The Lin family's service is a big deal, and after careful consideration, she still sent a letter to Lin Xu and asked him to come back.

Lin Xu, who received the letter, had mixed feelings in his heart.

The eldest brother is obviously alive and well, but he has to hold a disobedience ceremony according to the rules of the dead. In addition, he also knows very well that once this is done, his sister-in-law can remarry at any time...... If you really marry someone else's wife, then ...... with the eldest brother But it's really a broken head, and it has nothing to do with it.

In fact, he knew that even if his sister-in-law remarried, he would not leave the Lin family, let alone leave him. But, inexplicably, he was a little flustered and a little unwilling to think about it...... Or, he's still scared! I'm afraid that after my sister-in-law remarries, after all, it is different from today!

It was the first day of June when he received the letter, and he had to go back on the third day of junior high school. The time left for him was very short, only one day......

On the night of the first day of the new year, Lin Xu couldn't sleep all night, and went out the door the next day with a white face.

Entering Guo's Mansion with Han Jingyu, Lin Xu took a half-day class, and wanted to continue to finish the afternoon class, but Master Guo had already discovered his mismatch.

After class, Guo Jingquan came to Lin Xu's side and asked with concern: "Minwen, are you not feeling well?" Do you want to send someone to call a man to show you? ”

Lin Xu bowed with a red face and said, "Thank you, Mr. for asking, the student is not sick...... That is, it was the sister-in-law who brought a letter last night, and the day after tomorrow the family was removed from the ceremony, and the student missed his brother, and he couldn't sleep well last night. ”

Guo Jingquan looked at Lin Xu, his eyes showing concern and understanding.

"Oh, that's it," Guo Jingquan cupped his head and thought for a moment, "In that case, the afternoon class will be dispersed." You go back and rest for a while, and then rush home early tomorrow. ”

Lin Xu agreed, Guo Jingquan looked at Lin Xu and admonished: "It's not easy for your sister-in-law!" …… This time, it is inevitable to be sad, you have rested, and you can take care of your sister-in-law when you go back. You are pure-hearted and sincerely respect your sister-in-law, but this is not enough. Over the years, your sister-in-law has supported the family alone, raised you, and worked hard for your imperial examination...... It is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, you are now a famous person, and it is time to share it for your sister-in-law and repay your sister-in-law's nurturing grace. ”

Guo Jingquan didn't say a word, Lin Xu's head lowered, and his waist bent deeply. After a night of undecided, he gradually got an idea and became firm.

After Master Guo finished speaking, Lin Xu bowed deeply, stretched to the ground, and sincerely admired: "Thank you, Mr. for training, the student understands and writes it down!" ”

"Well, you can go now!" Guo Jingquan waved his hand, and then turned to Han Jingyu and said, "If you don't have time, you can rest for two days, go back and figure out the topic I left for you today, write an article, and bring it to me when you come back to class at the end of the decade!" ”

Han Jingyu's face stiffened slightly, so she quickly covered it, saluted respectfully, and followed Lin Xu out of Guo's mansion.

Guo Jingquan looked at the two students, one tall and one short, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was not wrong just now, the resentment and injustice that flashed in Han Jingyu's eyes...... This person's talent is much stronger than Lin Xu, just because of his humble background, he originally studied in the county, and the family background of the people he met was generally not obvious, and now he has been to the provincial capital, and he has been with Lin Xu every day, in and out of Guo's mansion, and has seen all kinds of wealth, exquisiteness, and elegance, all of which form a strong and sharp contrast with his family.

This is the ...... can be big or small, Guo Jingquan pondered, thinking about whether to make a move. If he makes a move, he is somewhat sure that he will be able to break Han Jingyu's misguided mentality......

This kind of thing, you have to be ruthless and accurate, and you can't break it all at once, maybe it will deepen the child's obsession.

Not to mention, his love for the Lin family lady and Lin Xu only said that Han Jingyu, a child, is really good, and if he teaches it properly, he will be of great use in the future. Of course, the premise is that the child does not take the wrong path, and the mind can maintain the previous free and easy, otherwise, he will be lost by a little money and wealth, and his heart will not be right, but not a blessing, but a curse.

Lin Xu came out of Guo's mansion, although he had figured it out after Master Guo's teaching, and he had made a decision in his heart, but he was inevitably uncomfortable emotionally, and his mood naturally kept low.

Because of the flood, Qin Yong and Shen Hu have been following Qiu Chen closely these days, and now Lin Xu has only Yu Liang by his side every day, and Erkui or Jialiang is driving the car.

Walking out of Master Guo's study, Yuliang cautiously followed. He slept in a room with Lin Xu, Lin Xu ran around at night, he heard it, Yuliang was extra careful when he was on an errand today, but he was not afraid of the gentle second master scolding, but he just kept a careful eye on the second master's body, don't fall ill, he can't explain to his wife.

All the way out of the gate, because it was a temporary noon holiday, the family did not know the road, and the carriage did not come.

Yu Liang took two steps forward and asked in a low voice: "Second master, the family's car hasn't come yet, why don't you go to the street to hire a car?" Or, hire a sedan chair, the one that sits cool and steady, more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage! ”

Lin Xu felt uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay in a small space, so he waved his hand without hesitation when he heard this: "That's it, it's not far, let's walk back and walk back!" ”
