"I'm not the second young grandmother anymore, and your new second young grandmother hasn't passed the door yet. He smiled and patted her on the shoulder gently: "But thank you, I have made a note of this kindness." ”

A little frightened, Xiaohe hugged the vegetable basket and ran, ran to the well and began to wash it tremblingly.

Gentleness followed, squatted beside her and watched her movements, and suddenly asked, "Do you know how to be easily appreciated?"

Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Like washing vegetables. Gentleness pointed to the water spinach that she put into the bamboo basket after washing: "When you wash it, you can easily remove the old stems, and then pinch the leaves together with the tender stems, so that the washing is cleaner and saves a lot of effort from the people who cut vegetables." ”

"This ......" looked at the dishes in his hand, and Xiaohe said in a low voice: "Won't it be troublesome?"

"It's a bit more strenuous to walk uphill. Gentle smile: "If you want to save trouble and go downhill, then I don't force it." ”

People still have to go to a high place, Xiaohe gritted his teeth, listened to the gentle words, washed the water spinach, and by the way, washed and picked other vegetables, and put a basket of the old stalks removed, and then carried them to the kitchen door.

Chef Li was already cooking inside, and Mama Zhao, the kitchen manager, took the dishes she washed, looked at them in surprise, and said with a smile: "You girl is careful." ”

Xiaohe was overjoyed, her face couldn't help but flush, she quickly ran back to Wen Wen's side, and whispered, "Mama praised me!"

"It's the same washing of vegetables, if you do it more carefully than others, she will naturally praise you. Gently and seriously: "But this has to be insisted, the impression is to be slowly impressive, once there is a chance to be promoted, the people above will think that you are more careful than others, and they will naturally give you a hand." ”

Xiaohe nodded and said seriously: "The slave will never be lazy again!"

smiled and pinched her face, Wen Wen was about to get up, but her stomach hurt again, and then there was a heat under her.

The lochia was not yet clean, so she would attack from time to time, but fortunately she had already put a bag of plant ash in it, otherwise her clothes would have been ugly.

"Hey, the one over there. ”

Just as he was about to go back and take a rest, a voice sounded behind him: "You two are idle, come and help move things." ”

After a gentle pause, he looked back and saw that the slave was pointing at Xiaohe and her.

"My stomach hurts. Gently and tentatively, he asked, "Can you let someone else go first?"

The servant was stunned, and his bean-sized eyes looked at her contemptuously: "We don't have a stomachache here to dodge the work, less verbose, and no more lazy people will have nothing to eat at night!"

Xiaohe was startled, and subconsciously pulled Wen Wen up and walked out, but halfway through, he remembered her body and looked at her quite embarrassed: "You ......"

"Let me be gentle. He sighed and shrugged gently: "Don't think about how to help me, you can't help." ”

With so much work, she can't help her all the time.

When Xiao Jingtang went to the firewood room after reading the account book, it was already empty.

His heart sank, and he frowned and looked at the housekeeper: "Where did you go?"

"At the back door. Looking at him suspiciously, Steward Xiao said, "Today is the time for the Du family to work." ”

Xiao was shocked, and then remembered that Du Wenrou was already a maid. Since she is a maid, she must have to work. But......

"She will have a short life to work with her body like that now, right?" he said: "In order to catch up for half a month, let her die early and give me a few years of work, which of you thinks about this loss-making deal?"

After that, he didn't bother to listen to the answer, and went straight to the back door.

The Xiao family has imported a lot of pork and vegetables, and the population of the house is too large, and the daily consumption is huge, so it is natural to carry a lot of pork and vegetables into the house. Gently followed Xiaohe, stepped forward to pick up a basket of vegetables, and almost didn't get pressed to the ground.

"II...... Gentle, are you okay?" looked at her anxiously, but Xiaohe's own body was not light, and it couldn't help at all.

"It's fine. Standing up calmly, gently putting the vegetable basket on the ground and dragging it forward: "Go back first." ”

"Hey!" A steward next to her saw her behavior and frowned: "You can't drag it like this, the vegetables at the bottom of the basket will be rotten, and they are all ash, who will eat it?"

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth gently, and still carried the basket.

Like a mountain, Du Wenrou's body has never done heavy work, and his abdomen still hurts, he can't use any strength at all, and it is extremely difficult to take a step.

However, she didn't say anything, her identity was here, and if she had ten thousand angers, she could only suppress her heart and finish the work first.

Xiao Jingtang stood around the corner and watched, and asked lightly, "Who assigned her the job?"

Steward Xiao looked dazed: "Didn't you say that you wanted to give Du Shi some heavy work?"

This sentence was said by Xiao Jingtang himself, yes, when he sent the Du family back a few days ago, he said it immediately.

He said: "I won't let go of Du Wenrou, Steward Xiao, if you go back, you will leave all the heavy work to her, if she doesn't do it, don't give her food, and if she starves to death, she will pay for her life." ”

Recalling these words, Xiao Jingtang glanced at Steward Xiao deeply. There was reproach and chagrin in his eyes, and the translated words were: "I said you should take it seriously?"

Steward Xiao was very innocent, he didn't pay much attention to his young master's expression at that time, he did it after listening to the order, who knew and wouldn't let him do it?

Walking gently and hard, seeing that the kitchen was almost there, there was a stumble under his feet, and the whole person fell forward.

"Be careful!" someone next to her shouted, and then someone came up to catch the basket she was carrying, and another person held her up.

"Shu Fang?" was tired and panting, and looked at her gently and inexplicably: "Aren't you assigned to another yard? What are you doing here?"

"Rapidity said you're suffering, let's come over and help you. Shu Fang frowned: "How can I assign you such a heavy job?"

The leader who caught the vegetable basket pouted and said, "Why else? ”

Gentle smiled, patted his heart and said: "Even if they are inhumane, there is true love and true love in this world, you see, aren't you here to help me?"

"Well, while there's no one now, let's go. "Put this basket in the kitchen, and you will find a place to hide and rest." ”

"Good. Nodding gently, he lifted his skirt and walked away.

Xiaohe was stunned and looked back a few times.

It's lucky, usually there must be an overseer standing here, but today I don't know if it's lazy or what, there's no one left.

Hiding back in the firewood room, the three girls squatted in the corner panting, and gently touched a few taels of silver and came out: "Who can go and come back with some meat?" ”
