Yes, Lianxinzhuang is not rich in ten miles and eight townships, but it is also a good village. Since settling here more than 200 years ago, every family has been industrious and steadfast, and there have been few troublemakers. So many people have built for several lifetimes, only those brick houses, fields, and verdant mountains and forests.

"Uncle Chen, let's set up the survey team first, maybe there is still a glimmer of life? Maybe. Yan Lingxi comforted.

She didn't expect Lizheng to react so much, in the end, she didn't grow up here, and she couldn't empathize with this inseparable feeling of her homeland.

"Hmm." Chen Shulin was silent for a long time and nodded, "Uncle knows in his heart that what you said is right, but it is not so simple to do. ”

"Yes, if our survey team goes out to survey the water source, then they will go into other people's villages and counties, eat and live there, and when they find the water source, there will be the question of the ownership of the water source, no matter who they are, they will definitely want more. There may be unreasonable people who want to be exclusive. Uncle Chen, you must plan for these in advance. ”

Chen Shulin listened, nodded several times, looked at the little girl in front of him who was talking the truth, and the depression in his heart dissipated a little.

This kid really spoke to his heart.

"By the way, what did you just say your name was?"

Chen Shulin asked again, he had to know whose family such a smart child was, and why he didn't know anything about it.

"My name is Yan Lingxi, and I am the maid of the Xiao family."

Yan Lingxi replied generously at this moment. She doesn't care if she doesn't care about it, but if she tells Li Zheng that she is just a little girl as soon as they meet, maybe Li Zheng will despise what she said as a child.

Chen Shulin was a little surprised, it turned out to be the maid of the Xiao family's big house. It's a pity, it's a pity that she's a slave, it's a pity that she's a girl, otherwise the village would have eased up, and this child would have gone to study and take the test for fame, how good it would be.

After chatting with Yan Lingxi, Chen Shulin walked along the door of the house to the end of the village, thinking about the survey team, and met Yubo, the housekeeper who came out to do business.

Usually the affairs of the Xiao family are handled by Uncle Yu, and the two have long been acquainted, so Chen Shulin also chatted with Uncle Yu about the survey team and Yan Lingxi.

At noon, when Yan Lingxi rushed back to eat her pitiful meal, Uncle Yu came to her.

The Xiao family's usual rules, the most faceful in front of the master, and the one who does things well, eats at that square table; Ordinary servants eat at a large long table; The most unpopular, like Lingxi, and a few rough maids, all eat in the corner.

There was no table, just a small stiff bench where I sat and ate with a bowl.

Yan Lingxi has long been used to it, and today she still took the bowl and sat there, and began to cook, what table or not table will not affect her at all.

None of the rough maids came to Lianxinzhuang, and now there is only a ten-year-old boy with Yan Lingxi. When he saw Uncle Yu coming, he was worried about whether Lingxi had done something wrong, so he quickly elbowed her to remind her.

Yan Lingxi raised his head from the rice bowl at this time.

Yubo is still very serious when there are many people, after all, he has to manage people, he stiffened his face and pointed the way with his chin: "Lingxi, sit there." ”

Yan Lingxi looked over, and he was talking about the big long table.

She was puzzled, and looked back at Uncle Yu, but Uncle Yu didn't explain, so she was not hypocritical, smiled at Uncle Yu, and sat down generously with a bowl.

There are a few slices of meat in the stir-fried vegetables on the table!

Some people were not happy, yelled, and asked Yubo what was going on.

Uncle Yu didn't explain, he didn't have to explain to these stinky boys.

Why didn't you find that Lingxi was so good before? It's strange that there are rules and regulations, and it's strange that you are smart, and you love to do a line, and the pigs are fed very well. Wow, if only those stinky boys were half as smart and diligent as she was.

The girl is still young now, cultivate and cultivate well, and ...... in the future Yu Bo thought, if such a clever girl provoked the beam, how worry-free he should be!

It's a pity that the grandmother doesn't like her very much, but it doesn't matter, look at it slowly, there is always a suitable position.

Uncle Yu was in charge of all the big and small things of the Xiao family, and he didn't see the details too clearly.

In fact, now the eldest grandmother is not so tired of her, but Yuhong will not let go.

Inside the big house, Yuhong struggled to speak.

"Grandma, my good grandma, why don't you think about yourself? Now that this disaster is so serious, we can't move the nest, who knows what will happen in the future, you still have to hold more silver in your own hands to be safe! ”

Now there is only Yuhong in the house, and the eldest grandmother is very relaxed, and her emotions are all written on her face: "Then what should I do?" Lingxi is doing so much work now, who will do this job if she sells her? ”

Yuhong had already calculated: "Grandma, there is a lot of work in the yard now, and it is all caused by those livestock, so let's sell a few horses when we go to the town, and only two will be left, which is enough for a carriage." It's best to let Grandma Shu and her family sell all the piglets, chickens and ducks, so won't there be a lot less work?

Divide the rest of the work among a few boys, let them exert their strength, and hold the deeds of these people in your hands, do they dare to be disobedient? ”

"Snort," sneered the grandmother, "if they don't obey, they'll have their own lessons!" But...... As soon as these three people are sold, there will be a lot of work out of the balance, and I'm afraid that those boys won't be able to finish it even if they are tired to death, right? ”

"You're so kind, where is there anything you can't do? The Deng family kid was only ten years old, and he couldn't do anything; Yu's mother's niece has been learning from her for several years, not to mention good craftsmanship, at least she can pick up a yard of people's food.

Just divide Lingxi's life into it. The rest of the people did what they were supposed to do. In this way, you can calculate that you will save three dollars a month. ”

The eldest grandmother nodded, not complaining about Yuhong's childishness, if they want to care about the three coins of silver, they really don't have much money in their hands. The old man took away so much money from the goods, and now there is no news, and the silver ticket is not sent home.

Those who lose their conscience, how can they live!

Seeing that the eldest grandmother agreed, Yuhong couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, these people left to save money, and it was not themselves who worked more anyway. Especially that dead Lingxi, finally don't have to see her thief anymore!

Day by day, I don't see how honest I am, either I think about eating, or I think about my own bit of silver, if I hadn't bothered to press it before, I'm afraid I would have become a thief and let people chop off their fingers!

In order to protect himself, he offended her, that little slut is really vicious, how did he come up with it at such a young age? actually wanted Liu Erlai to insult himself, if it weren't for Cuili coming quickly......

There are only a thousand days to be a thief, where is there a thousand days to prevent thieves? Only by getting her away from him can he and the Xiao family be safe.

Yuhong is really tired and aggrieved, without exaggeration, after all, it is a full fifty taels of snowflake silver! Fifty taels, it's really your own!
