"What if they don't go?" Zhao Kangcheng asked rhetorically.

"Didn't leave?" Cai Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "Then the room in this house is not enough." "The three rooms in the backyard must have been reserved for their own family, and the rest was the house in the front yard, but there was only one small room in the front yard, and then there was an empty lobby with a lot of tables in it.

Cai Xiaoxin: "The small room in the front room can be cleaned up for Cai Yan to sleep in, but Zhao Wu and Zhao Jie can't find it." ”

"Are you going to use that lobby to greet guests?" Zhao Kangcheng asked.

"No, it won't." Cai Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Just entertain the open space outside the guests, and there is a shed, so you don't have to worry about rain." ”

"Then let Zhao Wu and Zhao Jie sleep in the lobby of the front room, and then come back with two boards and build a simple bed." Zhao Kangcheng proposed.

"Is that good? Who should be cold in the lobby, right? "Although it's summer.

"Just get the quilt on the bed again." Zhao Kangcheng thinks that boys, it's okay to suffer a little.

"Okay then." That's all it takes, "When you have the money, you can build a hut in the yard." "The yard is big anyway.

"Well, you just decide."

"What do I decide, it's not certain if people will come back or not." Cai Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, "I don't feel like we came back from buying slaves, but like we came back from buying ancestors." "It's giving people money to buy clothes, and it's worrying about other people's accommodations.

"That means you have a good heart." Zhao Kangcheng said in a very gentle voice.

Hearing that gentle voice, Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't help blushing, holding her face with both hands and saying, "It's worth it~"

Cai Xiaoxiao has made both green and white noodles before, and then she plans to make red noodles, that is, carrot noodles.

Chop the carrots, then mash them into a puree, then add a little water to make a juice, then pour the carrot juice into the flour little by little, stir until the color of the carrot juice dyes the flour red, and then make noodles from the flour dyed red, and the remaining yellow and purple noodles are the same steps.

"Madame! Master! Suddenly, Zhao Wu's voice came from outside, Cai Xiaoxiao raised his head and looked at Zhao Kangcheng in a daze: "I didn't leave." ”

Zhao Kangcheng smiled in anticipation: "You are so good to them, how can they leave." ”

"Really?" Cai Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen suspiciously, and then saw the three of them appear in front of him with a new look, each with a new set of clothes on their bodies, and a stack of new clothes in their hands, it seems that they are buying new clothes for themselves according to what she said before.

"Madame, give it, here's the rest of the silver." Zhao Wu walked over and handed her some fragments of loose silver.

"Ahh Cai Xiaoxiao took the silver in a daze, and then asked them, "Why didn't you leave?" ”

"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Wu and the three of them were stunned, "Madam, where are we going?" ”

"Go home." Where else can I go.

It turned out to be this, the three of them shook their heads, and Zhao Jie smiled bitterly: "Madam, we can't go home." ”

"Can't go back?" Cai Xiaoxiao didn't understand what he meant, "Why can't you go back?" Don't have enough money? ”

"It's not about the money." Cai Yan said in a crisp voice, "It's because we were originally sold by our families to tooth dealers, and even if we go back, we will be sold again, so even if we are homesick, we can't go home." ”

Seeing the eight-year-old Cai Yan in front of her say this, Cai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart: Is this the difference between ancient and modern? In ancient times, it was parents who took the initiative to sell their children, but in modern times, which parent would be willing to sell their children!

Zhao Wu also said: "This time I was lucky to meet Mrs. and Master, but I can't guarantee that we will not meet kind people next time, so it is better to follow Mrs. and Master, at least there are new clothes to wear." Saying that, he showed a shy smile, and Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes were hot.

She touched Cai Yan's head and said gently, "Then don't go back, stay here and help me do business, okay?" ”

"Okay!" The three of them said loudly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Is there a guest coming? Maybe it was because everyone in the courtyard was talking too loudly, waking up Zhao Wang, who was resting, she walked out suspiciously, and then saw Zhao Wu and the three people in the yard, "Who are these three children?" ”

When Zhao Wu and the others saw her, they looked at Zhao Kangcheng suspiciously, and Zhao Kangcheng reminded: "This is the old lady." ”

So the three of them respectfully bowed to Zhao Wang's family and saluted: "Good old lady!" ”

Zhao Wangshi was taken aback: "Hey, good, good, good." Then he looked at Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng suspiciously, "Kangcheng, Xiaoxiao, who are these three children?" ”

Cai Xiaoxiao walked over, took Zhao Wang's hand, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, you listen to me......" She told Zhao Wang's thoughts and the course of the matter, as well as what Zhao Wu and the three of them said.

Zhao Wangshi is an open-minded and kind-hearted old woman, she listened to Cai Xiaoxiao's words, and said: "Since it is Kangcheng's heart for you, then you can accept it, and you can do it with these three children." At the end, she looked at Zhao Wu and the three of them and sighed, "Poor child." ”

"I see, mother-in-law, you go in and rest, and I'll call you when I get back." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"Okay, then I'm in the house." Zhao Wang went back to the house again.

Cai Xiaoxiao walked back and said to Zhao Wu and the others: "Since the three of you are staying, then I will arrange your positions." ”

The three of them immediately stood up straight.

Cai Xiaoxiao saw it, smiled, and said, "I now open a breakfast shop, and I will get up early every day, and then I will be busy until noon." Zhao Wu, since you know how to punch and kick, it means that your physical strength is very good, right? ”

Zhao Wu nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then you are responsible for running the hall, when the guests come, you can write down everything you want in a notebook, and then take it to the kitchen for me, I will calculate your monthly salary of ten copper plates, how about it?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked.

"And the salary?" Zhao Wu and the others were dumbfounded.

"Of course there is a salary, as long as you are willing to work, there will definitely be a salary." Cai Xiaoxiao said.

"But, but we're just minions bought by the master......" Zhao Wu whispered.

Cai Xiaoxin: "Yes, buy it back and help me do things, you will get paid for doing things, how simple it is." ”

Zhao Kangcheng also said: "Since your wife has said so, you just do it." ”

"Yes! Sir, ma'am! The eyes of the three of them were red, and the appearance of crying or not made Cai Xiaoxiao laugh.

Cai Xiaoxiao continued: "Then Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie will do the math, then you will learn from your master tomorrow to calculate the accounts in our store, first learn for a month, this month I will give you five copper plates, and after a month, I will give you ten copper plates, how about it?" Do you promise? ”

Zhao Jie nodded excitedly: "Yes, of course I agree." ”
