Li Ziyu took a younger brother and sister in one hand and stopped after walking two steps, and said to everyone in the courtyard: "Let me introduce you to a person, this is the wife of Wu Fan, the shopkeeper of Riri Red Restaurant, Aunt Wu." Everyone knows each other. ”

Qi Xiaomei clasped her fingers with both hands, put them on her left waist, bent her legs and bent them to make a very standard blessing ceremony, and said to everyone: "Little woman Qi Xiaomei has given everyone a salute!" ”

Mrs. Fu came over first and said in surprise: "It turned out to be my sister, you still know me, right?" I am"

Qi Xiaomei said respectfully: "Mrs. Fu, the little woman is fortunate to have met Mrs. once, and it is an honor for the little woman to leave an impression on Mrs. Fu." ”

Mrs. Fu said: "Okay, don't say that the little woman is long and the little woman is short at every turn, I will call you by your name directly, and then call it like this on a formal occasion." ”

Qi Xiaomei said in a kind manner: "Xiaomei obeys Mrs. Fu's orders. ”

Fu Xiaoshuang and Fu Yingjie also gave Qi Xiaomei a salute, with respect and admiration on their faces.

They had heard from their father how Mrs. Wu Fan was in extraordinary martial arts, and she was a good hand in both the inner and outer houses, and they admired her very much.

Li Ziyu introduced her aunt, Wang Qiuyue, Sister Xiaoou and her five younger siblings to Qi Xiaomei, and everyone greeted each other before going back to their respective rooms.

Mrs. Fu knew that Li Ziyu had something to say to her family when she came back, so she took a pair of children back to the West Wing.

Before leaving, Fu Xiaoshuang happily said to Li Ziyu: "After lunch, I'll come to play with you." Now spare you for now, and leave it to your brother and sister. ”

Li Ziyu was also very happy to see Xiaoshuang again. I happily agreed.

Xiaohu and Xiaolan held one of their sister's hands and followed Li Ziyu inch by inch, lest their sister leave them again.

Li Ziyu also held their hands. They followed their aunt into the East House.

The East House, like the West House, is also two connected bedrooms, separated by a wall and a door in between. Because it is located in the north, both bedrooms are equipped with ondols, and the stove is left in the house.

Li Ziyu looked at the stove in the house and frowned, this stove was left in the house, and the smoke and dust were not counted. I'm afraid of gas.

However, now only firewood is burned at home, and the temperature has risen since then. Just burn a hot kang at night, and you don't have to worry about poisoning.

When everyone entered the back room, Xiaohu dragged Li Ziyu's hand to the kang, and said in his mouth: "Sister is on the kang." ”

Xiaolan also held Li Ziyu's hand. Tilting his neck with a face full of admiration, he said, "Sister." Hug! ”

"Okay, sister, hug!"

Li Ziyu's heart was sour, so she first picked up Xiaohu and pinched his little face, kissed him hard, and put him on the kang. picked up Xiaolan's head and touched the top of the head, and put her on the kang.

Seeing Xiao Wu next to her with admiration on his face, he hugged Xiao Wu's shoulders hard. Xiao Wu's face lit up with satisfaction, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Li Ziyu patted Xiaoshan and Xiaowen on the shoulders again. I sat on the kang and asked about everything at home.

Ouyang Lan told everyone about the resettlement situation that night, and then talked about the grain, daily necessities, and firewood that they bought on the street the next day.

In particular, I talked about buying firewood. Because this is not Yangcaogouzi Village, the mountains are full of firewood. This is a plain, and the only way to burn firewood is to buy firewood.

Wang Qiuyue said that she was looking for shops, and initially she took a fancy to three shops, and after a brief look, she had not yet negotiated the price.

Xiaoshan also talked about finding the school, and he and Xiaowen went to the yamen to find Lin Tianshu and told him about the school. Lin Tianshu said that he would be responsible for finding them and let him listen to the news in the next few days.

And he and Fu Yingjie are classmates of the Qian Family Academy, although they are of different levels and do not study with the same master, they still know each other.

In the past few days, they have become familiar with each other a lot, and they often discuss knowledge together, which complements each other.

Li Ziyu also said her initial plan: "Auntie, Aunt Chai, I plan to open a shop in Zhangkou Town for the time being, and if conditions permit, I may open a few more in the future." I'm also planning to stop going to Yangcaogouzi Village."

Before Li Ziyu finished speaking, Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu and Xiao Lan cheered, jumping and jumping happily.

Li Ziyu touched the heads of her younger siblings lovingly, and said in a changed tone: "However, I may have to go back this afternoon."

Xiaolan was anxious when she heard this, hugged Li Ziyu tightly, and was about to cry when she pouted: "Sister doesn't leave, woo"

Xiaohu stared at his eyes, and tears had already welled up in his beautiful apricot eyes, which were about to fall. In that way, as long as Li Ziyu said that she would run away, she would cry to her.

Xiao Wu was older, understood his sister's words, looked at the two younger siblings with disdain, and said, "I'll cry!" How old are people who still cry at every turn? Didn't you listen to my sister? My sister will go back to deal with some things, and she will come back, sister, right? ”

Li Ziyu nodded affirmatively, and Xiaohu and Xiaolan burst into laughter.

Li Ziyu continued: "I try to come back before dark tonight, there are some things I want to explain clearly, and I will definitely go over from time to time in the future, because there is still land there, and those soldiers don't know how to get things in the field, so they don't care if they can't plant the land." However, I try not to stay there and go home every night, and this will be our new home from now on. ”

We talked together for a while, and soon it was time for lunch.

At this time, the voice of the maid Hongjuan beside Mrs. Fu came from outside the door: "Miss Li, my wife asked you, the food is cooked, can you eat now?" ”

Li Ziyu looked at her aunt, and Ouyang Luo nodded.

So, Li Ziyu got up from the edge of the kang, walked out of the house, and saw Hongjuan standing outside the door of the main room, waiting for her to reply, so she said, "Sister Hongjuan, is the food cooked?" We can eat whenever we want, and I'll go get the food right away. ”

"No, no, the slave will send it to you right away, Miss, just wait." Hongjuan said, hurriedly turned around and went back along the verandah.

Li Ziyu returned to the house full of doubts, and Ouyang Luo solved her puzzles.

It turned out that since coming to live here, in addition to the three masters, the Fu family also brought more than twenty or thirty people such as maids, servants, maids, and guards.

Mrs. Fu found Ouyang Luo the next day, saying that in the future, all the chores and rough work at home would be done by the Fu family's subordinates. These tasks include the kitchen, laundry, running errands on the street, etc., but they do not include purchasing.

The small kitchen is responsible for the three members of the Fu family and the eight members of the Li family to eat, and the ear room in the west is also the kitchen set up by the original owner.

There is a corner door next to the west transept that leads to the Sanjin Courtyard. There is a well from the corner gate, which is why the original owner set up a kitchen in the west ear room.

Maids, servants, guards, and servants all eat in the outer kitchen, that is, in the courtyard, and there is a cook to cook the meals.

The Fu family and the Li family both ate in their own houses, and their own maids and servants were responsible for calling each meal, and then took back the dishes and chopsticks afterwards.

Therefore, every day, Ouyang Luo, Wang Qiuyue, and Xiaoou are free except for going to the street to buy vegetables every day, and the rest of the time is free, so that those who are used to doing their work are quite unaccustomed.

Li Ziyu nodded secretly, admiring Mrs. Fu's approach in her heart.

No matter what Mrs. Fu's identity is, she is a guest here, and if she doesn't do anything, and let her aunt and Aunt Chai serve them three meals a day, it will be too much to say.

Now this arrangement is obviously to only do work, not money, and completely pick out their own subordinates. It also puts an end to the unclear money and the selfish desires of some people to a certain extent, after all, there are very few people who are not tempted in front of money.

Moreover, with this arrangement, it is more natural for their masters and servants to live here.

However, it is estimated that Mrs. Fu and her sisters may not live for long. If Li Ziyu's estimate is good, Mrs. Fu will buy a house here.

Because so many people from the Fu family live here, Mrs. Fu must be very uncomfortable in her heart. If it was in Yangcaogouzi Village, it would be fine, and now that she is in a safe place, she can't say anything about living here again.

Thank you for your perseverance, all the way, happy New Year's holiday! (To be continued.) )
