Chapter 34: Busy work
"Actually, it's a rich family in your grandmother's village, and that family is preparing to do a happy event recently. It's just that there is a lack of people to help. After Lu Shi finished speaking, he reached out and brushed the hair scattered around his ears.
Here, after listening to Lu's statement, Ye Xuanxuan didn't feel anything strange.
"Do they say what they do? How many days do you need to work? And how much is paid? Ye Xuanxuan was not ambiguous, and asked a few questions in one breath.
When Lu Shi heard Ye Xuanxuan's question, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said reluctantly: "Actually, it's all light work, helping to wash vegetables and deliver things, this is still your grandma's help to find it!" But it's only a busy day, and the salary is a lot, a hundred Wen! After speaking, he looked at Ye Xuanxuan's face and wanted to see a happy look on her face.
However, it made the Lu family a little puzzled and disappointed, Ye Xuanxuan was still so faint when she heard it.
Lu Shi thought that she didn't know how much a hundred wen represented, and reminded: "Big girl, a hundred wen is a lot, you can buy a hundred eggs in the village." After speaking, his face was full of smiles.
Ye Xuanxuan thought for a while and agreed, she felt that if the Lu family was just for that little money, she could go.
Anyway, it's only a day, just be careful. It's okay to help wash the vegetables or something, but I'm just lame, and my hands are really good, and I can do those jobs.
Seeing that Ye Xuanxuan nodded and agreed, Lu Shi was ecstatic in his heart, and the smile on his face became stronger.
Ye Erya naturally listened to her eldest sister, and she didn't say anything when she saw that her eldest sister agreed.
Even Ye Jin was full of joy here, Ye Xuanxuan looked at Lu and Ye Jin like this and thought of it, they should have thought of the money.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't want to think so much, but she said what she thought.
"Mother, since I agreed, Erya and I will definitely go that day, but I have one condition." She can go, but there are still conditions.
Lu Shi, who had just seen Ye Xuanxuan's promise, suddenly looked stunned, and his eyes flashed.
"You can tell your mother what you want, and your mother will definitely promise you." In fact, Lu's understanding is that the eldest girl wants to keep money to buy food or clothing, after all, the child is also older, and she is greedy or loves beauty.
Ye Xuanxuan didn't squirm and said: "I'll go with Erya, and my condition is that we take Bao'er with us." ”
Hearing Ye Xuanxuan say this, the Lu family was full of embarrassment.
"Big girl, it's not that my mother won't agree to you. You're going to work, how inconvenient it is to take Bao'er with you! As she spoke, she thought carefully about how to dispel Ye Xuanxuan's thoughts.
But Ye Xuanxuan didn't give her a chance anymore, "Although Bao'er is small, she can help with something." I don't need food and drink from that family, it's enough for me and Erya to save some. After speaking, he secretly twisted his thigh, and his eyes were red with pain.
This time, the Lu family was also stunned, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "Big girl, then let's do it!" I'll go to your grandma tomorrow morning and ask her if it's okay! After speaking, he didn't bother with Ye Xuanxuan anymore, and went back to the house after eating his own food in two bites.
Ye Jin also hurriedly finished eating and ran to the house.
Ye Xuanxuan and Ye Erya glanced at each other and shook their heads, and the three sisters and brothers hurriedly finished eating.
Because they had something on their minds, they quickly washed up and went into the utility room.
After bolting the door, Ye Xuanxuan pulled Ye Erya and Ye Baoer to sit on the edge of the bed.
"They're going to go to Grandma's tomorrow, but this time they should be back on the same day. After all, my mother is worried about the money for the work! But anyway, my sister will take you with me wherever she goes. After speaking, he looked at the two younger siblings a little nervous and hesitant.
Actually, she is nothing, and she doesn't want the money. It's not that she doesn't like the money, but she doesn't want to quarrel with the Lu family.
After all, the Lu clan was not calculating this time, they were just using their labor to get some money.
As long as Lu doesn't touch her bottom line, it's fine.
If she wants to let Ye Bao'er stay at home alone, she really can't rest assured.
First, Ye Baoer is the eldest son in the family, and she is worried that the Lu family will harm him if they are not there; The second is that Ye Baoer is too well-behaved, even if he doesn't hurt him, he will let him do a lot of work. Whether it was based on her intolerance for the original Ye Daya or something else, Ye Xuanxuan asked herself that she couldn't sit idly by and watch Ye Baoer's affairs.
Since the Lu clan is going out again tomorrow, then they can still find time to go to the town once tomorrow.
Ye Xuanxuan, Ye Erya and Ye Bao'er discussed it, and then let Ye Bao'er rest early, and tomorrow morning when Lu and Ye Jin left, they also set off.
She called Ye Erya, she has to be busy tonight, and Ye Erya and herself can't sleep for the time being.
After deciding, Ye Xuanxuan leaned on her stomach and struggled to pull out the earthen jar placed under the bed.
It was the jar where the flowers had been soaked in distilled water, and all five of them had been taken out. In addition, there is a small earthen pot of potpourri paste, and two bowls of osmanthus and plum paste.
Although Ye Erya didn't know what her sister wanted to do, her trust in Ye Xuanxuan in her heart made her completely obedient to what her eldest sister said and did.
She saw that her eldest sister's face was a little nervous and cautious, could it be that these jars were important or something was wrong?
Ye Xuanxuan, who was still looking at the jar and thinking deeply just now, also came back to her senses and took a deep breath.
Because the wine here is not pure, and there is no alcohol. In addition, the technology is not proficient, and there are no tools, so Ye Xuanxuan is very worried about whether these are successful.
Having made up her mind, she reached out to untie the hay from the closure of the jar and removed the leaves from it.
As soon as it was opened, a burst of fragrant plum blossoms spread.
As soon as she smelled this smell, Ye Xuanxuan concluded that this was done.
"Eldest sister, it's so fragrant!" Ye Erya was fascinated by this fragrance, and she felt like she was in a plum blossom forest.
The taste is fragrant but not strong, and there is a faint sweet feeling.
Ye Xuanxuan hurriedly covered it, and checked the other four jars, all of which were very good. Her heart was relieved, but she had to keep working. Whether you can make money tomorrow depends on it.
Ye Xuanxuan and Ye Erya pulled out a basket of dough fat from under the bed for later use, and placed it all on the bed and table.
Then process the water in the five jars separately, in fact, it is to take out the useless flowers from the five jars and precipitate them again.
The two sisters work together, Ye Xuanxuan learns what Ye Erya does.
Ye Xuanxuan asked Ye Erya to find five pairs of clean chopsticks, and the two of them used chopsticks to fish out the flowers inside. Each pair of chopsticks cannot be used in two jars at the same time, in order to maintain the purity of the floral fragrance.
After doing this, Ye Xuanxuan asked Ye Erya to cover the jar and wait for later use.
