Chapter Seventy-Seven: Who Is the Steward?
As for the most shocking, it was Lin Zhou's family.
Since a serious illness, Lin Yuan has truly realized how important a healthy body is, and how much it costs to treat a disease. Her own young lady actually said that she should treat everyone, doesn't she know that some diseases may not be good even if they are spent on bankruptcy?
If you know but still do this, then your family can finally find a family that can be entrusted for life, and this body will not be a loss, after all, you can't get such money by planting land at home for a year, not to mention that farming has to depend on God's mood, if it is not good, it will be in vain for a year.
Lin Zhou didn't think as much as his father thought, but he was excited just thinking about the silver he could save in a year.
The others are all one person who feeds the whole family and is not hungry, but they are three people, except for Jiang Ping, their family in this courtyard actually takes the most money, there are seven taels of silver, and they can save eighty-four taels this year, which is really not a small amount.
You must know that at the beginning, their family of three only sold a total of twenty taels, and this year's monthly gifts were enough to buy four families like them.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhou sighed, it would have been better if he had met his wife earlier, so that his father's illness could be cured earlier, and he would not have fallen into the root of this disease.
Sister-in-law He thought that she could save so much money every month, and when Lin Zhou was old enough to marry, she would definitely be able to save a large amount of dowry money, and then she could choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law for him, and she was very excited to think about it.
Just when everyone was happy, excited, or emotional about this rich money, Xia Yan said again: "Next, let's talk about the rules in the courtyard." First, when entering the main room, you must behave properly, do not touch it at will, if you accidentally lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding you; Second, in this house, what my mother, my brother, and I say is an absolute command, and you must not ask why, you just have to do it; Third, don't tell outsiders about everything in your house, if I find out, what awaits you is not just the end of being kicked out of your house. ”
"I guess you must think that I gave a lot of moons, maybe some people think I'm a fool." Xia Yan Yingying smiled, "Yan'er is not stupid, nor is it a lot of money, I really treat you as my own talents." In a word, as long as you never betray us, we will never abandon you, and in the near future, there will be more abundant moon services waiting for you. ”
"Okay, let's stop here today, you guys go to rest first, and tomorrow go to the housekeeper and ask him to take you to Cloud Town to make some winter clothes."
After Xia Yan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and enter the house, but he heard Lin Zhou ask in a low voice, "Miss...... Where is the housekeeper, how has he never seen it at home. ”
Hearing his question, Xia Yan smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will see him early tomorrow morning." ”
Early the next morning, Xiaohu held a silver ticket given by Xia Yan, and was so excited that he couldn't even speak: "Big ...... Big...... Eldest sister, you give it to me...... What am I doing with so much silver? ”
This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and it is the first time he has seen the legendary silver ticket when Zhang Xiaohu is so big.
Don't say it's him, even in this creek village, I'm afraid that few people really know what the silver ticket looks like.
But the eldest sister suddenly took out such a picture, which made Xiaohu admire and at the same time, she couldn't help but worry, could it be that the eldest sister wanted to ......
Thinking of this, Xiaohu suddenly stuffed the silver ticket back into Xia Yan's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Eldest sister's head...... You...... Are you not going to let me follow you? ”
"How do you have that thought?" Xia Yan looked at the child's anxious appearance and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I heard my father say that if the bosses in the town feel that the people hired to do the work can't satisfy him, they have to give those people a severance pay to drive them away, although they won't have as much as the eldest sister you give, but ......" Xiaohu suddenly cried. But I don't want to leave you, big sister, if you say that I dislike you, I'll change it immediately, as long as you don't let me go. ”
Xiaohu is not acting, nor does he just want to be a subordinate person, but in the past few days, he has already discovered how happy he is to follow his eldest sister.
If nothing else, just say that there are three meals a day, he doesn't believe that there is a second family in the world who can eat such meals every day, and it is estimated that even His Majesty the Emperor can't eat it, after all, the eldest sister's food hasn't been sold there yet. What's more, the fine white noodles, the eldest sister has not yet started to sell, and there is only one in the world.
And he is sure that the eldest sister will definitely come up with more delicious food in the future, and he must follow the eldest sister to eat and drink spicy food.
It can only be said that the world of foodies is so simple.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Xia Yan smiled, "Have you forgotten that you have signed a deed of sale, and you are not a hired person, even if I don't want you anymore, I will only sell you, how can I still give you severance pay?" ”
"Oh, yes, I'm a man with a deed of sale, not an ordinary employment relationship." Thinking of this, Xiaohu smiled again, and once again felt that signing the deed of sale was the wisest decision he had made in his life.
But what he didn't know was that the deed of sale was only written by Xia Yan to deceive him by the Yan family, and because there was no official seal, it was not binding.
But even if he knew, he would probably only cry and make up a real deed of sale.
"Eldest sister, then why did you give me this silver ticket?" Xiaohu, who came back from crying, suddenly remembered that since the eldest sister didn't want him, there must be other important things, so he pointed to the deed of sale and asked.
"I want you to be my housekeeper." Xia Yan stretched out his hand and handed the silver ticket to Xiaohu, "The family has bought a new batch of subordinates, and there must be one of their own people to take care of it, and only you are the most suitable to think about it." Take this silver ticket and take them to town to make some clothes, and by the way, make some for yourself. The rest will be given to them according to the month I have set. ”
At this time, Xiaohu didn't know what Xia Yan was talking about, his mind was full of Xia Yan's sentence "I want to have my own person" and "my own person", the eldest sister actually classified him as his own, what should he do if he is so happy.
"Xiaohu, would you like to?" Xia Yan saw that Xiaohu was in a daze again, thinking that he was hesitating, so he added, "I won't treat you badly, I also have your share this month, ...... every month"
"Yes, yes, of course!" Xiaohu was about to jump up excitedly, "What is the moon and not the moon, big sister, you are too outward." Aren't we our own people, what else do you want, it's for outsiders, I don't want it. ”
Looking at Xiaohu's excited appearance, Xia Yan couldn't help but feel funny, this kid must be making up something in his brain again.
"Then you have collected this silver ticket, and you can catch up with Xiao Hei and take these people in a while. Remember to tell Xiao Hei that this is my order, otherwise it will definitely not be willing to carry you. ”
"Got the big sister." Xiaohu solemnly took the silver ticket and put it close to him, "I know the temper of the donkey brother, I will definitely coax it well." ”
After saying goodbye to Xia Yan, Xiaohu led Xiao Hei to the front yard, and when he saw the seven newly bought people, he suddenly felt a sense of pride.
He Zhang Xiaohu is also a person who can manage others, housekeeper, housekeeper, isn't he just helping the eldest sister take care of this family?
Does this mean that he has really become the right-hand man of the eldest sister's head, no, I must ask the eldest sister next time.
Just when Xiaohu's eyes were empty and cranky, the newly bought seven people were also constantly looking at this so-called "housekeeper".
Seriously, if the kid hadn't admitted it himself, they wouldn't have had anything to do with the housekeeper.
The housekeeper of ordinary people, not to mention an elderly uncle, should at least be a young man in his twenties.
But this ...... This kid is really a little too young, and he doesn't even look as old as the young master and Lin Zhou.
At this age, when you are fighting in the mud, how can you become a housekeeper?
But in any case, this is the person identified by the young lady, and they can't say anything as a subordinate.
Zhang ...... Steward Zhang, it's getting late, shouldn't we go? Seeing Xiaohu, who had been smirking, Jiang Ping couldn't help but remind, as soon as this sentence came out, his face turned red unconsciously.
Calling a housekeeper to a child who is less than ten years old is really unaccustomed.
"Well, it's time." Xiaohu, who came to his senses, comforted Xiao Hei for a while, and made sure that he was willing to let these people sit on the cart before waving to them.
After these people were seated, Xiaohu drove the donkey cart and staggered towards the town.
Not long after Xiaohu set off with a group of people, Fu Duozhi knocked on the door of Xia Yan's house with a cart of gifts.
Because everyone went out at this time, Xia Yan could only open the door himself.
When she saw Fu Duozhi standing outside the door with a smirk, she couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle Fu, today is not the day to pick up the goods, why are you here?" ”
"Yan'er, the old man came today to discuss something with you."
Hearing him say this, Xia Yan hurriedly asked Fu Duozhi to enter the hospital, preparing to bring him into the main hall.
It was the first time for Fu Duozhi to enter Xia Yan's new home, and he couldn't help but slow down and look at it.
Well, it looks like a cozy yard, but it seems a little too ordinary.
Just as he was commenting like this, he had been led to the main hall by Xia Yan, and the moment he boasted one foot into the room, he couldn't wait to slap himself for the evaluation just now.
This is ordinary, it is simply unparalleled in the world.
When he was young, he also traveled from south to north and was at ease.
But he has been to so many places and seen countless houses, and none of them are in this style.
