Chapter 261: Wheat Straw Paving

After naming all the slaves, they were allowed to rest in the shed, but when all of them went to sit on the ground in the shed, Zhang Xiaoxue found that they had not even prepared anything to sleep on the floor.

Do you just let them sleep on the cold ground? Will they get sick? Even if there is some wheat straw under them?

"Dad, look at these slaves, when they sleep, they don't have anything, they sleep on the cold ground, so they will be easy to get sick?"

"Oh! It is true that sleeping on the ground is hard and cold is not good for the body, and they are really thin and weak without tossing, so I will first go to the villagers' houses to borrow some wheat straw and let them lay it first.

Now let them go to the river and cut some reeds, and let Dazhu lead the slaves to weave some straw mats by themselves, and it will be better to spread them under them when the time comes.

Yuan Guang and Yuan Lei, the two of you and I went to the villagers' houses to borrow wheat straw, and the three of us ran a few more, and it is estimated that the wheat straw can also be used. ”

"Yes, Dad. ”

Zhang's father and son went to the villagers' house to borrow wheat straw, Zhang Xiaoxue went to the utility room to get four sickles, plus she also had a sickle in her hand, a total of five sickles, and handed them to Dazhu, so that they could go to the river to cut some reeds and come back, and weave as many straw mats as possible, so that they could spread them on the ground for sleeping.

Thinking that these slaves had not crossed the river in their village, they should not know the way to the river, so Mother Zhang took their male slaves, and a mighty group of people passed.

Zhang Xiaoxue and Bin'er were left, as well as the five female slaves, and they were not allowed to cut the reeds, Zhang Xiaoxue looked at the five female slaves opposite, and thought to herself, if they were allowed to live with a large group of male slaves, would it be bad for men and women to live together?

Although Zhang Xiaoxue planned from the beginning that she would match them to male slaves who performed well as wives in the future, and when she gave birth to small children, she would also be slaves for her own family, but seeing that these female slaves were all teenagers, they were not old at all, and they really couldn't do it, so let them have a decision to have children now.

Otherwise, let the five of them sleep in the utility room first, anyway, Zhang Xiaoxue had already planned it, and after planting crops on the wasteland, except for a few people left to take care of the crops, everyone else wanted them to go to the mountains to get some stones and wood, and let them build a row of houses on the other side of the wasteland, so that they could live there and survive the cold winter.

In this way, there is no loss to their own family, and it is considered an extra property, and there are so many of them, it should not take a few days to build a house.

"The five of you don't want to huddle with the men, and you can stay in my utility room from tonight onwards. ”

"Thank you hosts. ”

The five of them thanked Zhang Xiaoxue in unison, and their gratitude this time was really from the bottom of their hearts, although when they were in Yanwangfu yesterday, they lived with those male slaves, and they had no human rights as slaves, so naturally no one would care if they had a good reputation, they knew very well that they would be arranged by their masters to give birth to little slaves in the future, but they were also afraid of being given ** by a group of male slaves.

Now that the master has separated them from the male slaves, their original worries have been put down, at least they will not let them have children now, and in the future, they will behave well, and I hope that when the master wants them to have children, it will be good if they can match them to a male slave, although not like other couples, at least they can not be bullied by a group of men.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't know that the five female slaves opposite her, she thought so much in her heart, if she knew their worries, Zhang Xiaoxue would definitely comfort them, she definitely couldn't let a group of male slaves bully them, how could she let the slaves at home be so chaotic.

Zhang's father, who went to borrow wheat straw, finally thought that the wheat straw used at home must not be less, so in the end, they simply took out a few pennies and bought it from a villager who had a lot of wheat straw, so that they didn't owe favors, and they didn't spend much money to buy a big stack.

The three of them couldn't get so much wheat straw, so the villagers helped send it over.

"Brother Zhenhe, the wheat straw has been sent to you, then we will go back, your family is kind-hearted, and they help the slaves think so thoughtfully. ”

The villagers who came said with a smile, he really didn't expect that the family would make a small amount of money just after dinner, although it was not much and only twenty yuan, and it was almost time for him to go out to work for a day.

"Thank you Brother Zhenbang for your help, let's be free another day, and call a few brothers to drink together." Father Zhang responded with a smile.

"Okay, then dare to be kind, Brother Zhenhe, your family is living now, and I don't look down on my brothers, brother, I am happy in my heart, when the farm is free, our brothers really want to get together together." ”

The villager who came over is called Zhang Zhenbang, and he also played with Zhang's father when he was a child, and after they got married and started a business over the years, they were busy with the livelihood of their families, and the former friends really didn't have much time to get together.

This Zhenhe family started it, and they didn't look down on their former partners, Zhang Zhenbang's heart was still quite happy.

Now that the wheat straw has been brought back, Zhang Xiaoxue asked the five of them to take some of the straw they wanted to use to their own utility room first.

"Dad, I let the five of them live in our utility room first, although there are a lot of pancakes in it, but there is still a little open space in it, and it's okay for the five of them to squeeze it.

I thought so, after all, they were also women, and it was still very inconvenient to be with that large group of male slaves.

I want to wait until all the crops are planted on the wasteland at home, and let the men go to the mountains to get some stones and timber, and let them build another house on the other side of the wasteland, so that they can live in it in the winter and not be afraid of freezing.

In this way, our family can have one more property, and it doesn't cost much money, they are self-sufficient, that is, it takes a little effort, anyway, there are many of them, I think the house can be built in a few days.

Divide the house into several rooms, so that they can also live separately for men and women, and the whole thing is a bit chaotic, and it is not good in case something happens.

In a few years, let's select five male slaves who perform well, let them get married and make a couple, and when they have children, they will still be our own slaves, and their children can also give our family a few more slave places. ”
