Xiaohong saw Xiaocui come in, and winked at her playfully, which was regarded as a hello. The latter also replied with an eyebrow-screwing expression. Both laughed.

"Mother Chen's life was not so good", "how can I ask about the kitchen", "how can I go to the kitchen" These thoughts appeared in Li Yi's mind one after another.

Just as she was in a hurry, the laughter of the two pulled her back to reality.

Although I don't know why they are smiling, the two young and cheerful smiling faces in front of them are infectious.

Even though she was at a loss at the moment, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's hot outside? ”

"It's a little hot, but not to the point of sweating."

"Sister Xiaocui has worked hard, let's drink a glass of water to relieve the heat."

Xiao Cui obediently poured a glass of water to moisten her throat: "The slave just told them to wash the dishes and send them to the old lady, but they didn't dry them." ”

Finally seize the opportunity! "I remember the old lady had a kitchen there?"

Before Xiaocui could speak, Xiaohong rushed to say: "Yes, but there is only one cook in the kitchen." There are no other people's hands. ”

"Well, that's true." Xiaocui continued: "The old lady said that she was old and couldn't eat much. As a result, her small kitchen is not used very often. ”

She wondered in her heart that Chen Xiaoyun was suddenly interested in these miscellaneous things. However, he still added the details that Xiaohong did not say in detail in a very orderly manner.

Under the detailed explanation of the two of them, Li Yi finally understood the things related to the kitchen in the house.

There is a big kitchen in the house, and the daily food is cooked there. Expenses are paid by the public. If the master wants to add food, he will pay for the help of the people in the big kitchen. Most of these people who invite the big kitchen to add food are the concubines of the master, and they can only be regarded as half of the masters.

The real masters in the house all have their own small kitchens, such as the old lady, Chen's mother and Chen's father. Recently, because the eldest young grandmother is pregnant, she needs to eat more carefully, so she is going to have a small kitchen for the eldest young master's yard.

There is a fixed monthly cost for these kitchenettes, and you have to make up for the excess costs.

As for the young lady and the young master in the house, there are actually only Chen Xiaoyun and his second brother left, and the meals are all in Chen's mother's kitchen.

Li Yi silently rolled her eyes in her heart, and secretly complained: "Add food? Add another bun? Sorry, I don't! ”

At this time, the sun is in full swing, and it is not suitable to go out.

Li Yi asked the two of them to sit with him and talk slowly. But I forgot that everyone usually takes a nap at this point. She is talking about sex, but the two girls are getting more and more depressed.

Realizing this, she said she was sleepy and needed a nap.

Xiaohong's girl was casual on the surface, but the corners of her secretly raised mouth and brisk response were still captured by Li Yi. Li Yi smiled secretly: It's like a modern overtime halfway through, and the leader suddenly announced that he was on vacation.

On the other hand, Xiao Cui, uh, Xiao Cui really has no waves. Miss will accompany you if she wants to chat, and Miss will stay when she wants to sleep! No matter what the young lady wants to do, she will serve her best. No wonder people sit in the position of first-class maids in such a short time.

Fortunately, I came through to be the master, and I didn't have to look at people's faces to act. No, I still have to listen to my parents and grandmother. Won't they be able to do whatever they want?

Of course not! It's impossible for everyone in this world to really do what they want. Even the emperor can't do whatever he wants.

If you think so, everyone will be overwhelmed, right? No matter how hard I try, there is still no such thing as "freedom".

It would be nice to be able to live independently. Don't rely on others, be self-sufficient. Isn't that freedom?

Li Yi had no answer.

In modern times, although she does not want to continue to work day after day, to deal with all kinds of unreasonable demands of the leadership. In fact, looking for a job again is just entering the same cage, and realizing this, she resisted the urge to quit again and again.

In fact, the savings are enough for her to live for three months, but what can three months change? She prefers to endure the numb present than to create an unknown future.

That, here, back to the age of fourteen, nothing began. Will you be in the same situation? If the answer is yes, would you make a different choice?

Originally, she was not sleepy, but she lay on the bed, closed her eyes and followed her thoughts from incomprehension to calm, and gradually fell asleep.

This night, Li Yi slept soundly. By the time she woke up, it was already dark.

Cui came over and told her that the doctor had been waiting outside for a long time.

Li Yi then remembered that she still had to see a doctor today. I forgot about it. Busy asking Xiaohong to help her wash. And explained to the two of them that next time someone waits for her, she must wake herself up.

Xiaohong was unconvinced: "It's just a doctor who called to see a doctor, and Miss Fang Zi he prescribed didn't eat it." So you need to sleep with it? You're in need of a break. I didn't let him wait, and served tea and fruit! ”

"I'm not asking you to do this for others," Li Yi said while wiping his face, "for myself." ”

Xiaohong was puzzled: "Why is it for you?" Obviously, this will make you sleep. ”

"Because I want to be a person of high character, gentle and kind."

Seeing that the two of them looked dazed, Li Yi gave an example: "If the person who came today was my father, would you tell me to get up?" ”

"Yes!" Both replied in the affirmative.

Xiaohong was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Yi: "Then if you change this doctor, I'll let him wait." This kind of behavior is: to please people of high status; But I have no respect for the people under my identity, so am I not the same person as I am on the outside? That's why I say, be polite to others, not for the other person's sake, but for your own sake. ”

Seeing that the two did not answer, they threatened again: "You are my personal maids." If you don't respect other people, outsiders will assume that I taught them, or even think that I am such a person. Do you want me to have a reputation of "picking up the high and stepping on the low" before I say goodbye? ”

Both of them were busy saying that they didn't dare. I will definitely pay attention in the future.

Seeing that both of her were convinced, she hastened to meet the doctor who had been waiting for a long time.

She didn't want to say anything like "all men are created equal". It was difficult for the ancients to accept such a theory. It was changed to a way that was easy for them to accept.

I am very satisfied with the results of my teaching: "Haha, fluent eloquence, quick thinking. I should have participated in the debate. I also know how to teach students according to their aptitude, and it's also very good to be a teacher. ”

The conversation between several people takes place in the inner room. The doctor in the main house should not have heard.

But the doctor's ears seem to be particularly sensitive. took Li Yi's words word for word into his ears.

"Is that so? Self-denial is for oneself. Scold! "Pick up the tea bowl at hand and take a sip." It would have been nice if you had understood this before. ”

Since he was used to drinking clear tea, he stopped drinking this kind of tea with salt and various fruits in it. What's more, the tea is already cold.

However, at this time, he was so attentive to the movement in the inner room that he did not notice anything wrong.
