Chapter 14: Returning Home

Half an hour later, I was back outside the door of my house.

Of course, I am very familiar with this place; But for me, it doesn't know me well.

For this place, Lao Tzu is now a complete outsider.

The electric door won't open, I can't even get in, I can't even see the grassy garden inside; Entering the gate, there is still a long way to go to the villa.

At this time, behind the electric gate, there are still four or five people waiting to enter. There are men and women, old and young, and it seems that they are just like me, and they are also here to apply.

"Uncle, how old are you this year? Seventy or eighty? At this age, you still come out to apply for a job? The doorman in white uniform said to an old man, "I advise you to go back and help hug your grandson and raise a dog or something, right?" ”

The old man was gray-haired, and he did look like he was in his seventies and eighties, but his face was ruddy, and he was very energetic.

"Young man, do you think I want to come out to work in my seventies and eighties? Isn't there no way, as long as people don't die, they always have to eat, right? Don't say so much, just let me in. ”

The doorman's face was embarrassed, and his brow furrowed.

"Uncle, it's not that I won't let you in. But...... But what can you do at your age? Even if I let you in, I won't be able to apply. If I don't know if I'm going to be scolded again, isn't that bad for everyone? ”

When the old man heard the doorman's words, he was immediately furious, his eyes widened, and his beard floated up.

"I said young man, you don't look down on people! I'm older, but I might be even better at work than you are! You just let me in, if you can apply for the job or not, that's my own business! ”

A few people next to him also spoke for the old man.

"yes, you just let him in. Anyway, if you can apply for a job or not, what does it matter if you give it a try? ”

"That's right, even if your master doesn't like him and can't apply for a job, people won't eat one more meal from you, right?"

"Even if you stay for a meal, it's the kindness of the host, and you don't have to pay for it."

“……”

The doorman thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll let you in, whether you can apply or not depends on your own luck."

Everyone was happy, and they all praised the doorman for being a kind man, and he would definitely find a good wife who was virtuous and beautiful.

I'm very satisfied. It seems that these people who work at home are not bad in quality, and they are not the kind of characters who "Hades is easy to mess with, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with". But this is all the credit of Tang Jiang, that bastard, being a housekeeper is a very competent person, why do you want to usurp the throne for Lao Tzu?

The electric door slowly slid to the side.

The doorman walked in with the applicant, and inside was a large flat grass.

People looked around and marveled.

I followed behind with my head down, trying not to attract attention.

"Follow me, on the way, don't step on the grass, do you hear?" The doorman walked ahead and said, "This grass is imported from the Netherlands, and you can't afford to pay for it if you step on it." ”

A middle-aged woman suddenly laughed.

"If you step on it and can't afford it, can you stay here and work to pay off your debts?"

Several people around laughed.

"That seems like a good idea."

The doorman turned around and drove the middle-aged woman into the middle of the road.

"You think beautifully! When the time comes, I will sell you to Vietnam to pay off the debt! ”

At this time, a Boyue car drove from the direction of the villa.

The doorman hurriedly stepped aside and bowed slightly to the car with a smile on his face.

When the car was far away, the middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief.

"Is this your master?"

The doorman pouted.

"What master? He was just one of the master's henchmen, holding chicken feathers as arrows. There are also three apprentices of the master, but they are honest and good people. But I see, I'm probably going to get spoiled by that guy very quickly. ”

At this time, I realized that Ye Shunchang's evaluation among the people below was like this.

"Wow, a follower is driving around in such a good car? Is this too exaggerated? A girl walking in front of me said, "Isn't it possible for us to have a car then?" ”

"Think of this kind of good thing." The doorman said amusedly.

On the grass over there, Zhu'er was playing happily with Xiaoyan.

When I finally came to the door of the villa, I saw "Tang Jiang" and Wang Yan standing on the steps.

I know that this "Tang Jiang" only has Tang Jiang's body and appearance, and the soul inside has become someone else.

So, where did "I" go? Where is the person with my body and Tang Jiang's soul?

It's awkward to say that.

I was still a little weak-hearted, and I hid behind everyone, for fear of being recognized by Wang Yan. This girl is very shrewd.

"Tang Jiang" coughed lightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and glanced at the people below.

"Friends, thank you for being here. I'm the housekeeper here, and my name is Tang Jiang. ”

Everyone said hello, and I followed behind with my mouth moving, but I didn't make a sound.

"People come here because they want to stay and work. But we only need one person here now, so ...... I'm sorry, but most of you are going to be disappointed. However, we do have a relatively remote area, and it is not easy for you to visit. So even if he is not admitted, we will give him 200 yuan as a round-trip fare. ”

Everyone was happy to make friends.

Damn, it turns out that there is still this rule, I didn't know this before. Of course, I don't care about this kind of trivial matter, it's all Tang Jiang's care, so I don't know where a lot of money is spent.

Only one person is admitted, but there are six people who come, so my chance is not only one in six?

If this fails, is there any other way to get in?

"The people we are looking for this time are mainly to do some moving and lifting work. Therefore, our requirement is to be young, strong, loyal and honest boys. So, this old man, as well as this eldest sister, and this little sister, then I'm embarrassed. ”

After "Tang Jiang" finished speaking, Wang Yan walked down the steps and distributed two hundred yuan to the three people mentioned by "Tang Jiang".

The middle-aged woman and the girl didn't say anything, silently took the money, turned and left.

The old man didn't answer, and kept bowing towards "Tang Jiang".

"Brother housekeeper, you can take pity on my old man. I'm so old that I can't find a job outside, and if you don't have me here, I'm going to starve to death on the road. You should take pity on me, accumulate some yin virtue, and leave me! Please. ”

"Tang Jiang" groaned, his face looking very embarrassed.

"But, sir, what will you do? You can't do the work of moving and lifting. ”

The old man just kept pleading, and his snow-white beard couldn't stop shaking.

"Tang Jiang" nodded, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"And you're going to prune the flowers?"

The old man's head immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will!"

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of "Tang Jiang".

"Okay, then you can stay and help trim the flowers."

The old man thanked him and stood aside happily.

Then, it was just me and two other men.

The other two men were in their thirties, and they both looked very strong, with dark skin, and they knew at a glance that they were people who had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time.

"Tang Jiang"'s gaze swept over the faces of the three of us.

What would he choose?

"Well, here's a grinding disc, and you three try to lift it up three times. I'll see which of you has more strength. ”

As he spoke, "Tang Jiang" pointed to a piece of bluestone grinding disc under the evergreen bush and knew that it was very heavy at a glance.

I've seen this millstone since I came here, but I haven't paid attention to it.

Now that Lao Tzu is back in his own home, he actually has to do such heavy work, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become.

One of the men hesitated, then walked over slowly, trying to move the millstone.

However, he only lifted the millstone upright, and his face was flushed, but he could not lift it, so he had to give up.

The other walked up, rolled up his sleeves, and took a horse step, and even picked up the grinding plate, and barely lifted it three times.

Terrible! The grinding disc was so heavy, I asked myself if I couldn't hold it, it seems that I lost this time.
