Chapter 7: Fighting

Entering the door, the two of them lowered their heads and followed Zhang Xiaosan in front of them, and they didn't know how long they walked around, but they stopped next to a vacant lot, and looked up to see that there were two blue brick houses next to them.

"Well, it's these two rooms, you two clean it up today."

As soon as Zhang Xiaosan's words fell, a cough came from behind.

Immediately after that, a middle-aged steward in a green robe hurriedly walked in outside the porch door, the man glanced at the dog brothers, and said to Zhang Xiaosan: "Third brother, what did you just go?" The eldest young master sent people to look for you everywhere! ”

When Zhang Xiaosan heard this, he replied with a nervous face: "Daddy, just now the eldest young master asked me to go to the two of them to clean up this house, but I just found it, so I came over!" I'm going to find the eldest young master. After saying that, he turned back to the dog and said, "What are the names of you two?" ”

"My name is Zhao Gou'er, and his name is Liu Gou'er."

"Well, you brothers will clean up this afternoon. I'll check it out later, don't be lazy! ”

Steward Zhang on the side listened to the reprimand and said, "When is it!" Take care of these chores. Why don't you go to the eldest young master! ”

The little third Zhang was trained, and he didn't care about the dogs anymore, and hurriedly walked out with Steward Zhang.

So, only the dog and the dog were left here, and the big eyes were stunned at the small eyes.

"Brother Lang, what can we do now?" Dog Yu said anxiously.

"Well, it's okay, let's clean up first, anyway, give us a salary, such a good thing is rare."

"But Brother Lang, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry, but I don't have the strength to clean up."

The dog thought for a while and said, "Dog leftover, you wait here first, I'll go out and look for it, and see if I can find something to eat for you to bring back." ”

"Got it, Brother Lang, you can come back early!"

Walking out of the porch door, the dog looked confused. On the way here, I just walked with my head down, and I didn't look around. With such a big yard, I don't know where to find something to eat?

Zhang's compound is a three-entry house, where can the dog who came in for the first time recognize the road, and looked at the stone road under his feet, so he had to choose a direction to walk at will. After walking for a short time, he came across a servant dressed in a hurry, who looked younger than a dog.

So he stopped and asked, "Dare to ask this little brother, I am the helper who cleans up things in the miscellaneous room at the back." It's noon, I want to find something to eat to fill my stomach, I don't know where to go? ”

The little guy looked up at the dog and didn't say anything, pointed to the side and back, and hurried away.

The dog thanked him from afar, and walked in the direction he pointed, about the time it took to walk a stick of incense. I saw a small house with white smoke, and a man happened to leave in front of the house with some food. The dog also hurried forward.

Following the example of the man in front of him, he picked up a bamboo box next to him and handed it to the cook dressed in white. The cook didn't answer, he took care of the pot with one hand, picked up some food at random with the other, put it in a bamboo box and handed it back.

The dog's face was happy, and he didn't make a sound, and rushed back with the bamboo box. "The big families and small houses on this dog day eat better than the farmers outside! There are also meat stuffed steamed buns to eat, but I haven't eaten meat steamed buns for a long time. "Look down and look again, there is still a plate of green vegetables?

While swallowing saliva, he hurried back, and in a blink of an eye he came to the utility room.

"Dog leftovers, dog leftovers, come and see, what delicious food did I find?"

I don't know where the dog came from. The big head instantly lay in front of the bamboo box, sniffing hard and smelling, "Brother Da Lang is a meat steamed bun, wow, it's actually a meat steamed bun?" Before he finished speaking, saliva flowed down his mouth.

Sitting on the threshold of the hut, the two of them each took a meat steamed bun, and casually left a branch as chopsticks, and killed a meat steamed bun in a moment. The bamboo box is not large, and only five fist-sized meat steamed buns are placed inside. The two of them even ate stuffed food, and they ate it clean in a moment, and when they touched their stomachs, they felt that it was a small problem to eat both of them.

The dog left licked the plate of green vegetables three times before letting it go, looked up and said, "Brother Lang, let's go get another box?" ”

"No! Mo was found out and blasted out. I see that the cook will not inspect people, and you will go with me later, and we will each get a box. ”

As soon as he heard that he still had something to eat, the dog didn't say much, and found a hidden place at random, and the two of them huddled together, squinting and dozing.

The habit of taking a nap has long been started by the ancients!

It was also tired of running around today, and after sleeping for an hour, the brothers woke up with their arms stretched out, and looked at the sky and touched Shen Shi or so.

I was bored of staying there, so I rolled up my sleeves and went into a room on the left and began to clean up. I've eaten other people's food, so I have to do some work! He is not Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang, the two scoundrels.

In the room on the left, there are old or broken utensils. All kinds of treadmills, martingale horses for rice planting, wheels for missing handles, hand-cranked overturning and seedling horses, crushing clams for crushing soil, and a large number of tools with serious wear and tear, such as carts, lily hats, pestle mortars, bucket dungeons, and kettle retorts. After all, these two people are still young, and they don't often go to the field to serve the crops, and this pile of farm tools that can make the old man who farms outside drool is just a pile of waste wood in the eyes of these brothers.

Regardless of whether they knew each other or not, they all moved to the corner of the courtyard and stacked them together. And those that are badly broken or can't move particularly heavy. He used the axe next to him to dismantle it into a pile of waste wood and piled it all up in another corner of the courtyard.

After doing it brute-force for half an hour, the room was emptied. Seeing the dust that filled the house, he left the dog to go outside and look for a broom. When he returned, he found a large roll of linen cloth and a small wooden barrel.

Carrying a small wooden bucket to the water tank in front of the kitchen to catch a bucket of water, ignoring the white eyes of the cook. The two of them swept and wiped one by one, and it was not until three o'clock that the room was cleaned. Sitting on the threshold and looking at the clean house, I feel ten times better than the broken house of the Ba family, and I really want to live here for the rest of my life.

Sighing, the two of them hugged their knees and looked at the door quietly, waiting for the junior to come over to check the work, and the two brothers could go home from work. Waiting left and right, seeing that the sky was getting later and later, it was already the end of the unitary time, and the figure of Zhang Xiaosan was still missing. Cover the dog's mouth that is about to open! Pointing to the heavens and saying angrily:

"Zhang Xiaosan on this dog day actually released our brother's pigeons. It's getting late today, I went to the kitchen to get the meal first, and then I came to Zhang Xiaosan tomorrow to reason, let's go! Don't let Dasha wait at home in a hurry, and bring him some meat steamed buns to taste. After saying that, he waved his big hand, patted his buttocks, and led the shiny eyes of the dog to the kitchen.

The road to the kitchen had been walked many times this afternoon, and they had already recognized it, and in less than a pillar of incense, the two of them came to the door of the kitchen. Shi Shiran stood in front of the door, thinking that he would take away the food smoothly. But when the cook saw that it was a dog, the brothers made it difficult.

"Those two little brothers, they are so daring, they beat away my tank of water today, and they dare to come to get food. The water, but I worked so hard to bring from the well in the front yard, was taken away by your brothers, what do you say? ”

The dog on the side thought that we can't hold a grudge against the meat steamed buns, so he hurriedly bent down and apologized: "This big official, the kid only came today." I don't know that the water in the tank is your old hard work, your gentleman does not care about the villain's forgiveness, the kid will be on duty tomorrow, first fill the water tank for you! Do you think it's possible? After speaking, he pulled the dog and apologized again and again.

The cook saw that they had paid several gifts in a row, and his anger was gone. Then he said: "The first thing for the two of you after you are on duty tomorrow is to fill this jar with water, and I am still waiting to be eaten in the palace!" Don't delay, remember? ”

"Remember, boy, remember." The mouth was full of answers, and it was also the time to get off work to receive food, and the people around gathered more and more. The cook handed them their food! The two hurriedly took it, apologized and quickly left the kitchen.

On the way, I opened the box and took a look, it was still a meat steamed bun at noon, but there was no plate of oily green vegetables! Saying that it was a pity, the two of them stuffed the meat steamed buns into the bag around their waists, which was made from linen cloth in the afternoon. Two pieces of cloth are sewn on three sides, and two ropes are tied to the corners, and a cloth bag is alive! It is usually tied around the waist and put some bits and pieces in it.

I inquired all the way to the back door, and saw a middle-aged housekeeper in his thirties holding a pen and paper in his hand and writing something. There are still three or five men standing behind, shaking the tendons and flesh all over their bodies, this is the nursing home raised by a big family! Looking at the seven or eight people queuing up in front of them, the two brothers understood that this was the manager in charge of entry and exit, and they were registering, and they suddenly felt a little nervous.

These people, just like the security guards at the gate in later generations, are responsible for recording some entry and exit information, but they are much stricter than later generations, if there are thieves in the house who are caught and killed by them, the government doesn't care, at most they will be fined.

Large families will raise some nursing homekeepers to prevent those who come in and out of the domestic servants and servants with unclean hands and feet from stealing the finances of the master's family!

It's just a cup of tea, and it's the dog's turn! The man in charge looked at the two of them, and when he felt the face, he asked the dog on the side, "What's your name?" How old are you? Who recruited it? What do you do in the house? Long Laborer or Servant or Servant? ”

This series of words came, seeing that the dog's face was panicked, the dog hurriedly replied: "I call the dog, he calls the dog, I am eleven and he is ten years old." It was the helper recruited by Zhang Xiaosan in the house today. Our brothers are in charge of cleaning the two utility rooms in the house. ”

Hearing that it was a helper, the steward looked carefully and asked, "Helper?" Can you get paid today? Where is the bamboo chip for settlement? ”

"If you go back to the manager, when our brothers get off work, we can't find Zhang Xiaosan, so we don't get paid, and we don't get bamboo chips!"

When the steward heard this, he no longer doubted their identities, but said angrily on the side, "This little san is causing chaos, you two will come back tomorrow, and the identities of the two of you will be verified tonight, if it is true, you will make up your wages when you come tomorrow morning!" After speaking, he said to the two nurses standing behind him: "Go and check if their bags are entrained!" ”

The two men answered, walked over and began to rummage through the bag, and after reading the bag, they casually touched the belt, sleeves and trouser corners where things could be hidden, but they didn't touch anything, and then they turned around and reported to the steward.

"There are only five meat steamed buns, and nothing else!"

Most of the servants who came to work as servants were poor people, and they brought back the food from the lord's family and distributed it to their families.

After walking away with his head stuffy, he sighed in unison, and chatted while walking with the afterglow of the sunset.

"Brother Lang, that nursing home was so fierce just now!"

"Well, but I think Dasha is even more powerful."

"Dasha and his father are also powerful, but I feel that the nursing home is even more powerful!"

"Why?"

"Because of the nursing home with a short beard, it hurts so much to pinch my ass!"

Forehead......
