Chapter 229: The Eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival

It took a round in the sky to come out, and all the surnames in the world looked up.

On the night of the fourteenth, the moon in the sky was round and bright, Xiao Ming and others used dinner to move chairs and put them in the yard and began to enjoy the moon in advance.

Chen Yuanze sat next to Xiao Ming and drank wine from time to time, every kind of fruit wine had to be a glass, remembering how atmospheric it was when he proudly said that he wanted to give his sister fruit wine and canned food, and he didn't believe it when he said to his sister that she had it at home, but he really saw that he was speechless, and his emotional sister didn't lie to him, and he could send a big car, but unfortunately he didn't live in that car of fruit wine, and was asked for a lot by his brothers and sisters and cousins in the house.

"Don't drink too much, be careful of your stomach." Xiao Ming persuaded.

"It's okay, I've had a good amount of alcohol." Chen Yuanze said indifferently, put down the grape and fruit wine, and drank another glass of pear wine, I don't know how much he drank, at this time he spoke with a smell of wine, it seemed that he was going to get drunk.

The yard was very lively, Xiao Han chased and ran and played together, but unfortunately Jiang Xiangyuan was not there, she went home directly when she returned to the city, and she would not come over until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise it would be even more lively with her child Wang here.

"Hello Auntie." The little boy under the moonlight walked over, looking at Xiao Ming who wanted to speak and stopped, the young man in the moonlight was very worried.

"Mingsheng." Xiao Ming recognized it, it was Ming Sheng, his body was very weak after a serious illness, his body was as slender as a bamboo pole, and his shadow was stretched by the moonlight.

"I'm getting better, I'm still used to it here."

Mingsheng nodded and said gratefully, "Very good, thank you, aunt." Although he was about the same age as Xiao Ming, he still followed Bai Xiaoyu and them to recognize Aunt Xiao Ming, not only him, but all of them respected Xiao Ming as a life-saving benefactor.

Although they were very respectful, Mingsheng and the others were uneasy in their hearts, because Mother Yi did not arrange for them to do work today, they were afraid that they would be kicked out by Xiao Ming and go back to the same life as before, so while his aunt was here tonight, he stood up.

"Auntie, if you have any errands, just tell us, we can all do the work." Mingsheng said, even if it is okay to sign a deed of sale, several other children, including Bai Xiaoyu, are looking at this place, very nervous.

"I know, you have a few days of rest first, at least after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is not much work at home, you can help Mother Yi and Uncle Ming do what they can." Xiao Ming said that she knew that not assigning work would make these people very uneasy, and they would feel like outsiders without a sense of stability.

There is not much work at home, and the heavier work is done by Uncle Ming and Yi Feng, and all they can do is some chores, picking vegetables in the morning, watering, taking care of the orchard, and the herbs under the fruit trees, and doing some cleaning work in the yard, which are all within their ability.

"Come here, all of you." Xiao Ming beckoned the other six people to come over, asked them to sit down beside him, and after looking at a few people, he said: "You are all children, now you are young, just help the family to do some light work, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will arrange for you to study, you can choose to study, practice martial arts, you can also study medicine or learn some other skills." ”

Yi's mother sat on the side and listened, but her eyes opened and closed, Xiao Ming's words made several people very excited, they could study and practice martial arts, which they didn't dare to think about when their parents were there before, you must know how expensive it is to study, and the family can't afford to read without eating or drinking.

"No matter what you choose, you have to give me a serious study, there is only this one chance, even if you want to take the test in the future, I can afford to support it." Xiao Ming said seriously, after learning well, it will be the foundation of their life, whether it is to study and get fame and get into the official career, or to be a teacher, the least poor to be a bookkeeper, martial arts or other industries, they can have a good foothold in this society and use their own skills to settle down.

Ming Sheng was excited when he heard this, but after the excitement, he calmed down again, he was the oldest and naturally understood more truths, why would Xiao Ming support them for free, what did he want them to give.

"Auntie, we... Ming Sheng lowered his head as he spoke, they had nothing, what to exchange.

"I am also conditioned to do this, I will train you before you are eighteen years old, and you must work for me for ten years after you are eighteen years old." Xiao Ming said that this kind of is very common in the previous life, and those large enterprises in modern times will support some outstanding poor students, and they will work for them for ten or twenty years after completing their studies, which is equivalent to cultivating talents for herself in advance, she just didn't let them sign a deed of sale, and bought out their freedom for a lifetime as slaves.

"You can agree to this condition."

"Agreed, thank you, auntie." Ming Sheng nodded excitedly, what could be better than this, they only need to spend ten years to learn a skill.

Not only Mingsheng, but several other young people also nodded in agreement, they are not stupid, why don't they agree to such a good thing.

"Okay, you think about what you want to learn first, and I will arrange it for you after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Thank you, auntie." Finally, everyone thanked them in unison.

"Girl, isn't ten years a little shorter?" After they dispersed, Yi's mother came over and asked, there are also things about buying children to train in big families, but these are slaves for life, this kind of bought children will be slaves for the rest of their lives, and they will be subordinates for generations, only those who have made great contributions will be issued slaves by their masters, and the girls spend a lot of effort to train them and only let them serve for ten years, which is too broken.

"No defense, I naturally welcome what they want to stay in ten years." Loyal and grateful people will remember her good for the rest of their lives, and continue to do things for her, those who are mentally disloyal, those who have different intentions will not get his loyalty even if they keep him, so they will stay and become enemies, this kind of person Xiao Ming is not rare, it is better to let it go early.

"Xiaoyu and the three girls have Lao Yi's mother to help teach them." Xiao Ming said that Bai Xiaoyu and her girls she had observed, only Bai Xiaoyu was suitable for studying medicine with her, and Meihua and Cuihua might as well learn some needlework from Yi's mother, and they would find a good family in the future.

Yi's mother's hands are so red, Liu Lin and the three of them have studied with Yi's mother for a few months, and now they can embroider clothes, plum blossoms and cuihua can learn a trick and a half with Yi's mother, and they will benefit for life.

Chen Yuanze beside him didn't know when he had fallen asleep, his cheeks were red, his nose was stirring and snoring slightly, accompanied by the smell of wine, and he didn't know how much wine he had drunk, Xiao Ming waved the smell of wine around him with his hand, and shouted: "Laifu, quickly help your young master back to the room." ”

"Hey!" Laifu answered and ran over to help Chen Yuanze back to the room.
