Chapter 17: Having a housekeeper is convenient

After dinner, when he was ready to sleep, Uncle Xiao refused to sleep on the bed, and had to sleep on the floor by himself.

In the end, seeing that he really insisted on not sleeping in bed, Wang Da and I made him a thick floor for him to sleep.

Watching him carry the bunk to the yard, "Uncle Xiao will sleep in the house, what if it gets cold outside." ”

Xiao Sa: "Sweet girl, how can you be cold in the summer now, don't worry." ”

When I heard this, I thought that it was indeed the same, so I let him be.

One night passed, and the next day was a beautiful day.

When I got up in the morning, there was no one next to the bed, and when I walked outside the room, I still saw Wang Da making breakfast, and breakfast was ready after washing.

I was curious about why Uncle Xiao didn't see anyone, and saw him coming back from outside with a lot of wild fruits in his hands, but I didn't expect him to pick fruits early in the morning.

"Why did Uncle Xiao get up so early to pick fruits, don't rest much, the residual poison in his body has not been cleared yet." I said with concern.

"Oh, sweet girl, the old man got up early to exercise, so that the residual poison will disappear faster, don't worry." Xiao Sao was very touched to see Tiantian care about him so much.

However, when I heard him say this, I immediately stepped forward and grabbed his wrist to check his pulse, and checked it to make sure that the residual poison had disappeared a lot, so I was relieved.

Wang Da saw that the two of them were chatting outside, "Tiantian, Uncle Xiao has breakfast, isn't it better for you to chat while eating." ”

"Hey, okay, Xianggong, let's come here. Uncle Xiao let's go. He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Sa, and went to eat.

Xiao Sa thought that the word 'walking' was used very vividly, and he thought it was very funny, and he said that he would walk up in the future, which was both brief and easy to understand, Tiantian, this girl would really know a lot, interesting, hehe.

But why is the king making breakfast, and the man cooking? Thinking about it, he went to the kitchen and sat down.

"Big one, why are you cooking breakfast, you don't understand the truth of 'gentleman is far away from cooking'."

I'll go, what do you mean by this, I was suddenly unhappy, but my husband's next sentence made my heart immediately better.

"Isn't it good for Uncle Xiao to cook for the most beloved person, Tiantian is my wife, which is equivalent to myself.

Tian Tian is so good to me, it is only natural that I cook for her. Wang Da said simply.

Xiao Sa was silent for a moment when he heard this, yes, there is no shame in cooking for his most beloved person, thinking that watching his favorite person eat should also be the happiest person.

It's a pity that she has disappeared and regrets that she didn't cherish it at the beginning.

"Big one, what you said is right, but cooking will be handed over to the next person in the future, I think this is quite big, it is better to build more houses, buy some maids and old women to work.

Buying some more land to plant, just as the flood disaster in the south of the country struck this year, many refugees who fled from there had nowhere to resettle, and it was very cheap to buy them home. ”

No wonder I saw a lot of people dressed in tatters on the street yesterday, I thought they were beggars, but they turned out to be refugees, so pitiful.

A catastrophe can turn a group of happy people into homeless people.

"Uncle Xiao is always bad for buying people, all people are created equal, how can they buy and sell!" It's uncomfortable to think about buying people.

Xiao Sa heard the concept of 'all men are created equal' from Tiantian's mouth again, and felt that it was difficult to accept.

"Tiantian, although I don't know why the concept of 'all men are created equal' appears in your mind,

But if you buy these refugees, you will also save them, otherwise they will be even more sad to be homeless. ”

This is indeed quite reasonable, but it is still difficult to accept in my heart of modern people, but I still took out all the silver tickets from the house and handed them to Uncle Xiao.

"Uncle Xiao, this is a silver ticket of 4,000 taels of silver for all our family's belongings, all of which are handed over to you for management, you happen to be the housekeeper of the family, I don't have any concept of money, and I am relieved to hand it over to you."

(These 4,000 taels of silver tickets are equivalent to 40 million yuan in modern times, a lot of money.) )

Xiao Sa took the money and trembled in his heart, he didn't expect that there was so much money in this family, and it was all handed over to me to manage.

"Tiantian, big man, you gave me so much money that you gave me this old man who has known me for less than a day, aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away."

"Oh, Uncle Xiao, 'don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious' Since you believe in a person, you must believe it thoroughly, money is something outside the body, can you earn it again if you don't have it, right?

This can be regarded as a small test for your old man by the two of us, hehe, it depends on whether you can hold it or not. ”

"Haha, it's a good saying 'don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people', just based on your words, the old man swears that he will never hurt you, and will do his best to help you."

Of course, our husband and wife thought that this was nothing, but we didn't know how many people dreamed of getting Xiao Sa's guarantee, of course, this is a later story.

After breakfast, Uncle Xiao put the handle on the carriage, and we sat in the carriage and went to a circle of refugee fields on the outskirts of the market.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a circle of refugees sitting on the ground, and there was an old man sitting at a table in front of him, who looked dressed in shabby clothes, which was a little better than the refugees.

Uncle Xiao walked up to the old man, "May I ask how these refugees bought them, and how much is it per person." ”

Hearing this, I felt sad behind me, I felt that this was not buying people, it was like buying things, and the ancient natural disasters were really terrible.

When the old man heard that someone was asking for the price, he immediately became excited. "Xiao Lao'er's name is Zhao Shan, and he is the village chief of these refugees, and a total of 50 people from our village have survived.

20 20 women and 10 children, these people have 100 yuan for men, 80 yuan for women, 30 yuan for the elderly, and 30 yuan for children. The gentleman didn't know which ones to buy. ”

After speaking, Zhao Shan looked at Xiao Sa with blank eyes, thinking that he must buy more, otherwise the villagers will starve to death.

I was startled when I heard this price in the back, in ancient times, buying and selling people was so cheap, it was only a few tens of cents to buy people, and then I heard Uncle Xiao ask outside the carriage.

"Why is this so cheap?" Xiao Sa is also very strange about this price.

Zhao Shan: "Sir doesn't know, we refugees haven't eaten for several days, and we don't have the strength to drink some water every day.

We just want to find a host for us to eat now, and the money we want is also saved by ourselves to buy something for ourselves in the future. ”

Xiao Sa: "It's more reasonable to hear this, I'll go and ask my lord and wife who they want." ”

Xiao Sa walked to the carriage and asked, "Tiantian, big man, you can choose some people, I feel sad when I look at these people, and I am hungry and have only skin and bones left." ”

After hearing what he said, I let him get into the carriage and drove the cart to the market, and I deliberately pretended not to speak when I looked at his questioning face.
