Chapter 176: Meet Mother Liu Again
Hiring a female worker is easier said than done, but it is harder than anything else. There is no shortage of women in Quanxiu Village, but to find someone as reliable as Liu Meier, things become difficult. But this kind of thing is in a hurry, and Hong'er, the former right-hand man, has been helping in the kitchen for a long time, and in the days when she didn't find a newcomer, Ye Xiaoyu could only bite the bullet by herself. How to say that she is also a person who has embroidered cross-stitch, and it is no problem to take over the handkerchiefs, purses and other work in Liu Meier's hands.
In this way, Ye Xiaoyu's life is busy again, the amount of work such as handkerchiefs and purses is not very large, according to Ye Xiaoyu's current speed, there is no need to rush too much, but because she wants to do more to save for backup, she has to rush to work until late at night every day.
It's not a big deal to be tired, and the amount of work now is a drop in the bucket compared to the previous life. The last thing Ye Xiaoyu wants is to take time out to deal with annoying people when she is so busy. But life can't be called life if it's not full of "surprises".
At noon that day, when Ye Xiaoyu returned to Lujiazhuang after delivering food in the field, she saw a familiar figure that she didn't want to see at all.
Liu's mother, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in the courtyard of the Lu family with a large basket of clothes on her arm, and happened to meet Ye Xiaoyu who was walking towards her.
Didn't Liu's mother be dismissed and driven back, why did she appear in the Lu family again?
Ye Xiaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, she didn't even want to take a second look, she tilted her body and pretended not to see it and wanted to walk over directly.
"Miss Ye, long time no see. It's becoming more and more peugeot......"
Mother Liu was very enthusiastic, and changed her shameful and arrogant appearance towards Ye Xiaoyu in the past, and said flatteringly.
ββ¦β¦β
Faced with the sudden change in Liu's mother's attitude, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know what to say, so she had to laugh dryly and fool the past. She always firmly believes that "the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change", although there is a saying that "the prodigal son turns back", but the Liu Ma in front of her is definitely not a prodigal son who will turn back.
"Miss Ye, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still dressed as a son. Like you look so peugeot. If you change into a skirt casually, it will attract the matchmaker to step through the threshold. β
Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu didn't react, she still looked like she wanted to leave, Liu Ma smiled and changed the topic and continued to look Ye Xiaoyu up and down and said. But. It's different from the tone that was full of sarcasm every time. She today. The words are full of flattery.
"Mother Liu, aren't you too, I haven't seen you for so long, why are you still dressed like an old mother. Just by virtue of your appearance, put on a decent dress, and you will definitely be able to usher in a second spring. β
Ye Xiaoyu admits that she has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue, and when she thinks of Liu's mother's previous attitude towards her and Hong'er, she can't say good things to Liu's mother.
After being bored, Liu's mother walked straight away with a basket and a black face.
She should have been so knowledgeable, Ye Xiaoyu's impression of someone will not be changed by one or two good words, and it is still a good word with a sour taste.
Although she pushed Liu's mother back, Ye Xiaoyu still felt very strange.
Mother Liu has been dismissed by the Lu family for a long time, how could she appear here again, and she still has a basket in her hand. Ye Xiaoyu is no stranger to this kind of basket, and the dirty clothes that Lujiazhuang wants to take to wash are all packed in such baskets.
Lu Yishou took advantage of Ying'er's incident to dismiss Lujiazhuang's original subordinates, leaving only Qiao'er, Hong'er and Yinhua, who had no father and no mother. Qiao'er and Hong'er were transferred to the kitchen to cook, Yinhua was responsible for Lu Yishou and Lu Qian alone, although the division of labor was still clear, but the washing of clothes seemed to be lacking.
Ye Xiaoyu thought that she hadn't washed clothes in person for a while, because Hong'er had mentioned to her before that the Lu family would hire an old mother who specialized in washing clothes, so she didn't care, and now that she thinks about it, the old mother who washes clothes won't be Liu's mother making a comeback, right?
Although he knew that his conjecture had almost been confirmed, Ye Xiaoyu still took a detour to Beiyuan, wanting to ask Lu Qian what was going on. After all, there are a lot of women in Quanxiu Village who help others wash their pulp, so why did they choose Mother Liu again.
Because it is the autumn harvest season, the rice is being harvested in the field, and the Lu family has a lot of fields, even if they hire short-term workers, but Lu Yishou and his wife and Lao Wu still have to help in the field, and Yinhua is responsible for delivering water and food to the field, so Beiyuan, which was once the most popular, now only the big idler Lu Qian remains, and Liu Yu, who runs from Nanyuan on time every day to accompany her.
When Ye Xiaoyu stepped into the main house of Beiyuan, Lu Qian was lying on the table playing chess with Liu Yu.
Lu Qian playing chess?
Ye Xiaoyu couldn't believe her eyes a little, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Wow, Ye Xiaoyu, you've been so busy lately, you haven't even had time to come over to say hello."
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and found that it was Ye Xiaoyu, Lu Qian hurriedly lowered his head again, but his mouth was not idle.
"Miss Lu, each other, didn't you come to me, as the saying goes, it's good, so why only listen to the newcomer laugh and not hear the old man cry...... I don't have much knowledge, Brother Liu Yu, is that what you mean by this? β
Ye Xiaoyu walked over with a smile and looked at Liu Yu teasingly as she spoke. I didn't expect these two to be so harmonious recently, and they also played such elegant things as chess.
However, when Ye Xiaoyu got closer and saw it clearly, she immediately denied her naΓ―ve thoughts just now.
Lu Qian is playing chess, and the chessboard is still Go. However, she did not play according to the rules of Go, nor according to the rules of backgammon in her previous life, but the rules of "flying chess".
She drew the www.biquge.info and the end point on the chessboard in advance, and divided the black and white pieces, and got a dice out of nowhere, and Liu Yu threw the dice in the order before and after, and ran the chess pieces according to the number of points thrown, and took a few steps at what time, and whoever reached the end first won.
Looking at the two of them lying on the table playing chess seriously, Ye Xiaoyu really wanted to laugh, isn't this Nima just a flying chess game played by children in the previous life, wasting such a good chessboard and chess pieces in vain.
"Xiaoyu, a woman, how can she be so articulate, don't think that you wear men's clothes and treat yourself as a man, you still have to marry when the time comes......"
Every time Ye Xiaoyu can talk about the central matter, Liu Yu feels very embarrassed, so he takes out the matter of getting married and wants to change the topic.
"So what, anyway, the person Brother Liu Yu wants to marry has already been determined."
Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile, her crooked eyes passed over Liu Yu and stopped at Lu Qian's body. Knowing that Ye Xiaoyu was just guiding the way, Liu Yu couldn't help but be happy in her heart, but on the surface, she still glared at Ye Xiaoyu with his single eyelid eyes, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Looking at Liu Yu's shy face, Ye Xiaoyu shook her head with a smile. The day of rebirth, even with the existence of those annoying people, does not seem to be so bad, at least there are people who can joke like this unscrupulously.
"Oh, by the way, Lu Qian, I saw Mother Liu in the compound just now, did she come to Lujiazhuang again?"
Smiling and smiling, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the business she was doing here, so she hurriedly asked.
Although it was very interesting to tease them, remembering that there was still a lot of work waiting for him in Nanyuan's house, Ye Xiaoyu immediately felt like an arrow.
"That's right, I ran into her when she came to Beiyuan just now to get the clothes to be washed, and I don't know what my father thought, so I casually went to the door to pull the relatives, and asked her to help here."
Lu Qian raised his head, his face full of reluctance.
is reluctant to be reluctant, for Mama Liu, she doesn't have the same personal dislike as Ye Xiaoyu, after all, from the beginning to the end, Mama Liu is respectful every time she sees her. Last time, she also saw that Ye Xiaoyu was bullied too badly, so she was angry and drove her back. Lu Yishou took the clothes of the Lu family to Liu's mother to wash, although Lu Qian was unhappy, but it was just unhappy, washing clothes was not like working in the kitchen to be able to take things indiscriminately, and anyway, she had to hire someone to wash the clothes, as long as Liu's mother kept to herself, she didn't feel anything wrong.
Sure enough, it was like this again.
Ye Xiaoyu knew that Liu's mother had a thick skin, but she didn't expect it to be so thick, like a dog skin plaster, sticking to the big patron of the Lu family. It's okay on my side, just don't bother with her if you hate it, but thinking that such a good Liu Meier will marry into Liu's mother's family in the future and live with her, Ye Xiaoyu feels inexplicably pity. I only hope that Liu's mother's legendary youngest son is a normal person with a decent style, not like his eldest brother Lu Tianfu, who is lazy and lazy, yin and yin, and looks panicked.
"It's just washing clothes, if she dares to bully you again now, I'll immediately ask my father to fire her."
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu's silence, Lu Qian thought she was depressed, so she added another sentence, wanting to make her relax.
"I know, with our Miss Lu behind my back, how could I be bullied by an old mother."
Ye Xiaoyu smiled, sure enough, the power of "love" is great, and now even Lu Qian, who has always been rude and willful, has learned to comfort and understand others.
But she didn't say this sentence, such straightforward words, as long as she came out, even if she was Ye Xiaoyu, she would be killed on the spot by Lu Qian and Liu Yu.
The effect of ready-to-wear in the capital market is very good, and the shopkeeper Liu is urgent, and there are more and more orders, but Ye Xiaoyu is short of manpower here, and she is really too busy, so Ye Xiaoyu asked Liu Meier to introduce two little sisters who are familiar with her in the village, and they temporarily came to Lu's house to help. Ye Xiaoyu deliberately emphasized temporary help, the meaning could not be more obvious, now it is just a trial, only those who do a good job, are hardworking and down-to-earth, can work here for a long time like Liu Meier, and can get a high salary on time.
"Xiaoyu, there's something I want to tell you. I...... Can I get off work early in the afternoon, that ...... The youngest son of the old Lu family is back today......"
Ye Xiaoyu was sitting on the chair and embroidering, Liu Mei'er blushed slightly, walked up to her and said hesitantly. (To be continued......)
