Xiaojuan came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand, and said with a stinky face, "Xiaoyu, why are you in a daze, why don't you come over and help light the fire?" ”

Xiao Yu, who was overwhelmed by Qian Saihua's cheekiness, said "hey" and hurried into the kitchen.

Qian Saihua's eyes immediately stuck to the oily spatula that Xiaojuan was holding in her hand, "Big sister, come, hurry up, hurry up and serve a bowl of meat and vegetables to my sister-in-law." ”

Xiaojuan almost cursed. But she held back, and finally shouted, "I've never seen such a thick-skinned person," and turned angrily and went into the kitchen.

"I said, big sister, how do you talk?" Qian Saihua was not happy and shouted loudly.

Gu Yuanbao couldn't help it, and came out of the kitchen, "This sister-in-law, we've lived here for a while, and we haven't said a word to you, and you've never talked to us." How can you open your eyes and tell nonsense, what do you mean by 'not taking care of your affairs'? Please speak clearly. Also, it's true that we have made meat dishes here, so why should we serve them to you? He was very angry, the three of them had lived here for some time, and had never interacted with Qian Saihua's family at all, and they were busy with clearing the wasteland every day. A few days ago, when he was cooking, this Qian Saihua suddenly brought his son in and rummaged through his kitchen, and he unceremoniously drove away their mother and son. What I didn't expect was that this Qian Saihua's face was too thick, and as soon as the young lady and young master came, the kitchen smelled of meat, and she was able to come to beg for meat and vegetables with confidence, which was really hateful.

Qian Saihua said without changing his face, "Yo, it's all from the neighbors, isn't it just a bowl of meat and vegetables, why are you so stingy?" Come, hurry up, hurry up and serve it to my sister-in-law. Seeing that the ingots didn't move, she said again, "Hurry up and take the bowl!" Later, my father-in-law will come to the house for dinner. When the time comes, my sister-in-law will definitely say good things for you, and maybe my father-in-law will lower the rent for you. ”

Gu Yuanbao was not lightly angry, "You! ”

The door of the hall opened, and Qingyang came out with his little hand behind his back, "Yuanbao, go to Lizheng's house and say something, if there are idle people waiting to make trouble, we will return this yard and get back the rent." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qian Saihua immediately retreated from under the wall, but his mouth was idle, "Return the big family in the town!" Phew, I can't give a bowl of meat and vegetables, there is no human touch at all, and the family is angry. ”

Qingyang's words were not intended to be scary, "Yuanbao, go and come back quickly, and the meal will start in a while." ”

Only then did Yuan Bao know that what the young master said was serious, so he agreed and went out.

At this time, Qian Saihua didn't dare to say anything anymore, and when she entered the house, she slammed the door and closed the door, making a lot of noise.

Qingyang then greeted Luo Xiaorong and Hao and went into the house together. When he saw Qing Shu, he pouted slightly, "Sister, the family next door is really annoying." ”

Qing Shu smiled, "Leave her alone, she's just a woman who likes to take advantage of others, there's no need to be angry with her." Besides, as long as Li Zheng doesn't want us to retreat from this courtyard, he will definitely come forward to restrain her, and we don't have to bother. Let's get down to business. Tomorrow, you should get up on time, get dressed, fold your bedding, and then take your toiletries out and go to the kitchen to get water and wash yourself. After that, it's time to put the toiletries back and come out for breakfast. After breakfast, we'll rush to the wasteland, and I'll assign you a task. ”

At this time, Mr. Lu came back with his friends and was laughing while getting out of the car. Steward Ding also came back with the cart, and at the same time brought back Steward Zhang and Li Tie. The family took the carriage and horses, and led them aside to unload the cart. Some had already brought out the fodder they had brought, and some had brought water to drink from the horses.

Xiaojuan poked her head out of the kitchen, "The meal will be ready immediately." With that, he went in again and got busy.

Xiaoyu came out with a basin of water, "Sir, where are you going to wash your hands?" ”

Mr. Lu was very casual when he went out, and directly asked Xiaoyu to put the basin on a wooden shelf erected in the courtyard, and then beckoned Song Xian to wash his hands.

In this time, Steward Zhang took Li Tie out of the utility room and put it in Mr. Lu's house, and then went to the left neighbor's house to borrow a table again.

Xiao Yu took the rag, quickly wiped the table, and began to set the dishes and chopsticks. These dishes and chopsticks were specially brought from the house.

Mr. Lu had a table in the room, three dishes and one soup, and he also prepared wine, and the staple food was white rice.

There is a table in the Qingshu house, one dish and one soup, and the staple food is white rice.

The guards, stewards, and housekeepers also have one dish and one soup, all of which are crowded into the kitchen.

At the dinner table, Qing Shu said to Qingyang and the others, "The conditions here are limited, and from tomorrow, except for Mr. and guests, everyone will have to eat coarse grains." When the time comes, I guess the food will not be to your taste. You came of your own free will, and no one forced you. So, you can't be picky eaters, and you can't put the young master's shelf, what do you eat, you know? ”

Qingyang was the first to agree, saying that he knew. Chen Qiaojiang and the others also said that they were not picky eaters.

After eating, Qingshu personally stared at it, and asked Qingyang and the four of them to bring firewood and grass to set fire to the kang. At this point, Qing Shu could see at once who had suffered and who had not.

Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong were busy for a long time and couldn't light the fire, so they couldn't be in a hurry. Replaced by Hao, who had been silent, I saw that he took out half of the firewood and grass that Chen Qiaojiang and Luo Xiaorong stuffed into the kang stove, and loosened the firewood and grass to make a gap, and then put the hay that ignited the fire, and lit the firewood and grass with a lighter. When Chen Qiaojiang saw it, he took firewood and grass and wanted to add it to it. Qingyang, who had been watching from the sidelines, stopped him, saying that he could not add firewood until the fire in the kang stove was lit, otherwise the fire that had just been ignited would be extinguished.

When the kang was ready, Qingshu, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled knowingly, asked them to take their own toiletries, and asked them to line up to get warm water from the kitchen and wash them one by one. Qingshu is very serious about educating them this time. Therefore, after they had washed their feet, they watched it himself, and asked them to wash their socks and dry them on a makeshift clothesline.

Qing Shu clapped his hands, "Okay, hurry up and go to sleep on the kang, and remember to get up tomorrow." ”

Qingyang agreed and began to undress.

Chen Qiaojiang glared at Qing Shu, "Sister is not allowed to peek, go out, go out." ”

Qing Shu immediately pinched his ears, "Stinky boy, just your little body, beg my sister to see it, but my sister won't look at it." ”

Chen Qiaojiang screamed and begged for mercy, and when Qing Shu let go of his ears, he snorted, pouted and turned around, and took off his clothes with his back to Qing Shu.

Qing Shu shook his head, in this era, both men and women have to wear underwear, as long as they don't take off their underwear, the whole body is still well-wrapped, who can peek at whom! Besides, no matter how old they are, they are still just children. While they were taking off their coats, she went to the table, made sure that there was water in the kettle, and said, "Whoever is thirsty at night, go down to the ground and pour water to drink, and there is water in the kettle." The oil lamp is also on the table, and if you want to light the oil lamp at night, you must be careful not to knock the oil lamp over. ”

Chen Qiaojiang said, "Sister is so wordy." ”

Qingyang slapped him with a fist, "Don't say bad things about my sister." ”

Qing Shu was afraid that they would make trouble and frolic endlessly, so he interrupted, "Okay, okay, hurry up and lie down, lie down." After they lay down from the oldest to the smallest, Qingshu tucked the corners of the quilt for them one by one, then blew out the oil lamp and went out, closed the door, and went back to his house.

Xiao Yu was very worried, "Miss, it's better to let the slave maid go to the young master's house to serve, and the slave maid can sleep on the ground." ”

Qingshu ignored it, washed up, and then went to the kang and lay down.

Xiao Juan pulled the uneasy little fish and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

At dawn, a busy day begins. Qingshu did what he said, from folding quilts and dressing to washing and eating, he let Qingyang do it himself, and no one was allowed to interfere to help.

After breakfast, the carriage and horses had been set, Qingshu took Qingyang and the four of them to set off and went to the wasteland. By this time, the people of the wasteland had already begun to work. Half of them were digging tree pits and half were digging the ground.

Qing Shu didn't approach the people who were working, but found a place at a distance from them and stopped the carriage. This is also an area that is zoned into an orchard, and a tree pit is also to be dug. She asked Steward Zhang to mark out the location of the tree pit to be dug here, and then beckoned Qingyang and them to come over and let them start working.

Chen Qiaojiang took a shovel and said confidently, "Look at me." As he spoke, he was about to dig the soil, but as soon as he dug hard, he only shoveled up a thin layer of soil in its place. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had lost face, and shouted, "No, no, I'm just digging and playing, and it's only serious to come again." ”

Steward Ding stepped forward, "Young masters, please see how the little one is dug up." Seeing that the young masters' eyes were all shifted, he put the shovel on the ground, and stepped on the shovel with one foot, and while his feet stepped down hard, his hands also pressed down hard, only to see that the shovel had sunk into the soil. He took the handle of the shovel and pried it up, and the soil of the shovel was dug out and thrown aside. He demonstrated several times in a row and explained how to use force, and then he retreated.

Qing Shu couldn't help but laugh. In order not to discourage them, she said that this morning was just the beginning, and she only asked them to dig a tree pit to come out.

They shouted loudly that it was all right, and began to dig like Steward Ding.

Qing Shu pursed his lips and smiled, and reached out to take the shovel handed by Xiaoyu, "Sister's task is the same as yours, only digging a tree pit in the morning. With that, he began to dig a tree pit. Although she is a woman, she is also older than Qingyang and them, and she also practices guns on weekdays, so digging a tree pit is not difficult for her. I saw that she dug again and again unhurriedly, first turning the outline of the tree pit to dig a square shallow pit, and then began to dig deeper.

Chen Qiaojiang was sweating profusely, glancing at Qingshu's progress from time to time, and then seeing that he had been busy digging for half a day, he was even more anxious.

Qing Shu took the time to look at their flustered appearances, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, take your time, if you can persist and dig the first tree pit, you can learn the technique of exerting yourself, and you will dig very quickly in the future." ”

Qingyang listened, put down his tools, walked to Qingshu, squatted on the ground and looked at it for a while, and hurriedly went back to dig his own.

Qing Shu looked over curiously and almost laughed. Qingyang is actually imitating her appearance of digging a tree pit, which looks a little cute.

Tree pits, which are two feet long and two feet wide, and also two feet deep, are not so easy to dig, especially for those who are engaged in physical work for the first time. Less than half of a tree pit was dug, and Qing Shu's forehead was already sweating. After digging a tree pit, Qing Shu's palm holding the shovel handle was already red, and it hurt a little. This is also thanks to the fact that she has practiced spears on weekdays, otherwise her palms would have blistered early.

Xiao Yu hurriedly handed a dry cloth towel to Qing Shu, "Miss, quickly wipe your sweat." "Xiaojuan was left behind today, because Xiaojuan is responsible for everyone's three meals a day. She was the only one allowed to come and serve. And this service is just a matter of handing over a cloth towel and a bowl of water. The young lady said that her hands should be protected, and she should go back to make juanhua, and she should not dig tree pits.

Qing Shu took the dry cloth towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead and face, and was surprised to see the other four people next to him who were working hard in earnest. Chen Qiaojiang was still clumsily digging little by little, and he hadn't shouted to give up. Qingyang wiped his sweat with his sleeve and continued to work, the tree pit he dug was the fastest progress among the four. Hao is also serious, and when he pries up the soil, he actually squats down and sits on the ground. Luo Xiaorong's appearance is the cutest, pouting when he can't dig out the soil, and smiling on his red little face when he digs out the soil.

She thought they would give up, but she didn't expect that they were still persistent, not bad. She looked at the people who had nowhere to work, "You dig slowly, my sister has to go over there to see the situation." However, she did not forget to warn the guards guarding the sidelines, "If you dare to fool me and let someone else do the work for you, I will immediately send him back to the house, and then carry out the punishment that I said before." ”

Looking at the back of Qing Shu walking away, Chen Qiaojiang shouted loudly, "I am a man, and I don't want to find someone to do it for me." ”

And the result of not finding someone to do it for them was that when they went back at noon, Chen Qiaojiang and the four of them had completed their respective tasks, but everyone was wilted, and there were blisters in everyone's palms.
