"I'll give you a chance, it is estimated that there will be people in your Beishan Village who will come to sell the land soon, and the land we bought cannot be left empty and unplanted, I can hire you as a long-term worker, and you help me look at the land. Now is a year of famine, food is very precious, and wages are to cover your family's food for a year. ”

Wen Si listened, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Xia a little ignorantly.

"However, I have conditions. You have to sell me all your land, and I'll give you a fair price. How is it? ”

As soon as he heard that he was asked to sell the land, Wen Si lowered his head again, and the word 'land sale' was rejected all over his body.

"You choose the two paths yourself, I won't force you."

Xiao Xia knew that Wen Si had no way out, otherwise he would not come to her again. Let him choose for himself is just let him figure it out for himself.

Wen Si's stubbornness was unexpected by Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia was already at lunchtime. Xiao Xia looked at the sky, sighed, and decided to push him.

So he called Feihua in.

"You go and see how much frozen goat's milk is still in the cellar, and take two lumps over to Wen Si to take away."

Feihua took the order and turned to leave.

Wen Si listened to it and moved his feet a little numb.

"Go back with the goat's milk! It's not that I pity you, but I pity the child. Let's go! ”

Xiao Xia has run out of patience and coaxes people directly.

Before leaving, Wen Si turned around and asked. "Why do you give me goat's milk?"

Xiao Xia smiled without hesitation. "Of course it's to buy you, anyway, the goat's milk is also melted and thrown away, it's better to be a favor."

Wen Si listened, thought about it, and turned around and left without hesitation.

"Second girl, why do you say that, will he still come?" Shen Fei felt that the girl in his family was a little too realistic, and he told the truth.

"If you are honest with others, they will be honest with you. Look at it! He'll be back soon. ”

Beishan Village is in the north of Shenjia Village, as long as you cross Beishan, it won't take long to go back and forth.

Before dark, Shen Zhong and Uncle Qing came back, and just at the gate, they met Wen Si, who was back again.

Knowing Wen Si's intention, Shen Zhong led people into the courtyard and called Xiao Xia out.

When Xiao Xia saw Wen Si, she was a little surprised, she expected that he would have to come tomorrow, but she didn't expect that it was almost dark, and he still came.

Xiao Xia told Shen Zhong about the situation, and Shen Zhong had no objection to Xiao Xia's attention, and nodded.

Wen Si took out the title deed, four acres of paddy fields, and ten acres of dry fields.

"You have a lot of land, I said, if you work for a long time, I will cover all your family's food. Do you want silver or grain in this land? ”

Wen Si stood still, thought for a moment and spoke.

"I plan to put the ground on you first, and when I think about it, you will give me food, and when I want silver, you will give me silver."

Xiao Xia chuckled when she heard this, and looked at Wen Si with appreciation.

"You can calculate, of course, I have always been generous to my own people, you will know later. How many people are in your family, I will count the food for you. ”

"Two adults, five children." Wen Si is an honest man, if he lies about the number of people, Xiao Xia will immediately tear up the contract at this time.

"Then give your family a pound of fine grain and a pound and a half of coarse grain every day, the contract has been written, no problem, you can sign and draw a pledge, and then take a month's grain back."

Wen Si, who was sent away, Xiao Xia reported all the situation of the day to his father, and brought Uncle Qing to talk alone.

"The land bought back is very scattered, as the chief steward, you must regularly check everywhere in the future, and now the world is not good, try not to go wrong. Do it with your heart, do it well, and at the end of the year, the silver will be indispensable to you. ”

When Uncle Qing heard this, he was very excited, the job of the chief steward still fell on his head, and when he just heard that Jixiang was sent to Pingtou Village, he had an omen that he would definitely be reused.

"Master, don't worry, second girl, I will do my best."

The affairs at home were properly arranged, Xiao Xia was still worried that there was no available manpower, so he went to the backing town again, and Shen Fei had helped him do it before, and he was already familiar with it.

I didn't find a suitable man this time, so I bought a mother-in-law and a girl who could cook. The mother-in-law looked clean and neat, but there was no food at home, so she bought herself in order to change the food for her little grandson. Although it is from this area of Zezhou, in order to avoid trouble in the future, people generally take people to farther places.

The mother-in-law said that she was from Shangfen Village, and her husband's surname was Hao. Of course, Xiao Xia of Shangfen Village hadn't heard of it, so he asked Shen Fei to send someone to inquire.

That girl is the same year as Xiao Xia, white and delicate, like a girl in the city. The little girl was originally a maid next to the lady of a big family, and because she looked good, she was taken by the young master of that family, and she was sold by the master.

The little girl is her duty, and she understands the rules of many big families, and Xiao Xia plans to keep it for her eldest sister Shen Xiaochun.

took people home, of course, you have to bring people to Xiao Wang's family first.

"Mother, let's see if these two people can do it, okay, let's stay."

Xiao Wang looked up and down and frowned.

"Mother, don't you think it's okay?"

"That's not, I just don't think our family is rich, when Aunt Jixiang leaves, the family's food, my mother will take Feihua to make it, why bother to buy people again, waste silver."

Xiao Xia knew that her mother was thrifty, and persuaded with a smile: "Mother, you should take good care of yourself now!" Strive to add another brother to us this year. ”

Xiao Wang felt that his old face was red, and he blamed Xiao Xia for daring to say anything, and said: "My mother can educate you well, and you will be satisfied with a few busy, and now I don't want to have a son." Especially you, a leather monkey, play in the pile of men all day long, when can you be like your eldest sister, my mother will be pleased. ”

Xiao Chun smiled on the side to help Xiao Xia speak, and said, "Mother, the second sister is capable, if I have this ability, I will not be honest." ”

"You sisters! Don't let my mother worry. "The house is full of women, and Aunt Jixiang can let go of them, and they all laugh.

The mother-in-law and the girl standing in the middle of the ground were a little surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect that the lame girl who sold them back would have such a status in this family.

The mother-in-law knew that she was bought back as a cook, and she didn't dare to think about it when she was surprised.

That little girl is happy in her heart, she has become the maid of this second girl, will her status in this family be better in the future? I'm a girl from everyone again, so I have to be looked down upon in this small mountain village!

"Mrs. Hao, what is your natal name?"

"Back to the second girl, I am destined for Li Cuiying."

"From then on, everyone will call you Aunt Li! In the past few days, you have to familiarize yourself with Aunt Jixiang, and when Aunt Jixiang leaves, you will pick it up alone. ”

"Aunt Jixiang, take Aunt Li with you!"

"Yes." Aunt Jixiang responded with joy on her face and took Aunt Li to the kitchen.
