Chapter 226: New Ideas
Walking out of the main hall, Aunt Jixiang enthusiastically grabbed Aunt Li with a smile on her face. The second girl bought someone to come in again, and the matter of going to Pingtou Village with her own family to be a steward was settled, and her heart was also settled.
"We can come to the owner here to be a person, it is a blessing that has been saved for several lifetimes, and it has not been used up. Hello Dongjia, you do a good job. ”
Aunt Li didn't say anything after hearing this, if she had the blessings she had saved in a few lifetimes, she would not have been sold into slavery.
Aunt Jixiang straightened her back, didn't care what Aunt Li thought, and continued to nag herself.
"Don't look at me as a slave, look at my outfit, it's more decent than the average woman in the village. Since I entered the gate of the Shen family, I have not had a day without food and clothing, and now we have been arranged by the master to be stewards. ”
When Aunt Li heard this, she was envious in her heart, she was just a mother-in-law who cooked, what dignity could she have?
Aunt Jixiang saw that she was still depressed, and pulled people into the kitchen, Aunt Li was a few years older than Aunt Jixiang, in her early forties, and her hair was a lot grayer.
"You can do it with peace of mind! Now you may not be able to listen to what I say, but when you understand, you will know. I heard you have a son, right? ”
Aunt Li sighed and nodded. "I have two sons, a daughter, and several grandchildren."
"Then you have to work hard, do your job well, and be faithful to your master's family. The second girl might allow you to go home and have a look! ”
When Aunt Li heard this, she came to her senses, and then sighed. "Even if the owner is really good, I don't know the way home."
Aunt Jixiang turned her head, pulled off the key on her waist, opened the cabinet in the kitchen, it was actually food, she took the ingredients for cooking outside for a while, and said, "Don't worry!" The second girl of my family is a capable one, and she will definitely be able to help you. You, just work in peace! Today help me first, the host does not ask much, the cooking must be clean, the rice has to be washed three times, the vegetables have to be washed three times, the sticky board for cutting meat and vegetables cannot be the same, and the sticky board for raw meat and cooked meat cannot be the same. ”
Aunt Li listened on the side, secretly wiped two handfuls of tears, and somehow suddenly put it into her stomach, that little uneasiness was gone, and she began to have a faint expectation, maybe one day she could see her grandchildren, so she would be content to die.
In the main hall, Aunt Li was arranged, and then there was this white and tender girl, Xiao Xia looked at the little girl again, her eyes were bright, her face was round, her bangs were straight, she had two braids, and there were two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, and her appearance was really attractive.
"Eldest sister, this girl was bought for you. Let her be your personal maid, you are not satisfied. ”
Xiaochun was shocked when he heard it, and his heart was happy, but he was a little embarrassed when he thought of the current situation at home.
"Where do I need someone to be there? I haven't done any work, no. ”
"The eldest sister is thirteen years old, and there should be a maid by her side. I've heard that the ladies in the big city have to have four maids to serve alone, and you don't have one. Besides, don't I have spring flowers? When Xiaoqiu grows up a little more, she will also have a maid. ”
Koharu was so moved that she was about to cry, her sister! Always think about everything for them, but I can't do anything for her.
"Eldest sister, you give this maid a name, she will be your person in the future."
The girl who had been standing in the middle of the ground listened to the conversation between the two sisters, and felt a little lost in her heart, if only she could be the maid of the second girl. But looking at the big girl is a good person to get along with, it shouldn't be bad!
"Flying flowers, spring flowers, then you call it embroidery."
What kind of logic is this? Xiao Xia fell a black line on the side, it seems that the eldest sister really likes embroidery!
"Miss Xie gave her name. The maid liked this name very much, and the slave also liked embroidery very much. "Embroidery is a talker, and it makes Koharu very happy at the moment.
"That's a good feeling, I'll see your embroidery plan in a while."
"Miss please." Embroidery is a little disapproving, a country girl, what kind of embroidery do you pay attention to, your own embroidery can scare you to death.
Xiao Xia saw everything in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, the eldest sister was a person with few eyes, and she deliberately found someone with more eyes to hone her.
In May, it still hasn't rained, spring planting is about to begin, and Shen Zhong's family has people coming to the door every day, most of them are selling land, and almost all of them are paddy fields.
The two of them had gone to Pingtou Village, Shen Zhong stayed at home, bought land in the morning, and drove the ox cart to the town to do the land deed in the afternoon.
But when it comes to farming, I start to worry, but the manpower is not worried, as long as it is food, there are people to help work, but there is no water in the paddy field, how to grow rice?
Fengyun Villa also bought a lot of land, and according to Xiao Xia's requirements, he invited a lot of masters who drilled wells, and Xiao Xia asked two to come over to help.
Shen Zhong's family was digging wells, releasing water, and planting rice at the same time, and this month was very busy.
Until the middle of June, all the land that can be planted has been planted, but there is still idle land, that is, it is really a deep well and there is no water, and there is no other way to get water, so it can only make it panic.
It is not Xiao Xia's style to make the land panic, she began to rack her brains again, and suddenly she had an idea, the Chinese medicinal materials are good, many of the medicinal materials are very drought tolerant, and the medicinal materials are still worth silver.
But Xiao Xia himself didn't know anything about medicinal materials, so he could only find professional people to grow them. She suddenly thought of Dr. Hua, who was always fiddling with herbs, and Dr. Hua's family was her own, if she had this ability, she would have many ways to persuade her to help her grow herbs.
Thinking of it, he started to act, since he built a big house and moved, Xiao Xia rarely walked around Shenjia Village, and the farthest was fishing by the Yudai River.
For this reason, Xiao Xia deliberately changed into simple clothes, and took the spring flowers across most of the village to Doctor Hua's house.
Doctor Hua's house is still the same, with a loose fenced yard with several shelves and herbs drying on the shelves.
Xiao Xia screamed twice, but no one answered at all.
"Girl, isn't anyone at home!"
Xiao Xia looked at the fence door, but it was not locked. In fact, even if the fence gate is locked, it can't lock anyone, which is just a symbol that the owner is not at home. Since there is no lock, it means that the owner is at home.
Xiao Xia thought about it and said to Chunhua, "Let's go in and have a look." ”
Pushing open the courtyard door, I walked in, and there was nothing in the courtyard except for the herbs that were being dried.
Pushing the door into the room, I found that Dr. Hua was lying on the kang very weakly, and he almost didn't have the strength to raise his hand to speak.
I don't know how many days I've been hungry.
