The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 45 We have people

Su Ruojin was so happy that she almost flew up. She ran straight up the steps, stepped onto the corridor, and shouted happily to them: "Uncle Feng, Brother Dashi...Brother Ershi..."

The father and son of the Feng family were overjoyed to see the Su family again, and they giggled excitedly, "Second Lady, a high official...Madam...Dalangjun...Sanlangjun..."

 Call them down one by one.

Su Yanli held the sleeping Su Sanlang in his arms, walked up the steps gently, and asked Mother Dong who came out to greet her, "Have you arranged for them to eat?"

Mother Dong slept in the same room as Su Ruojin. Of course she knew what the young master was thinking. She was very happy when she saw the Feng family coming over. She was so busy with work. She first arranged for them to wash up and then arranged for them to have dinner, but they refused to eat anyway. Said to wait for the master to come back.

Su Yanli nodded, and Shutong came to pick up Sanlang, smiling from ear to ear. The arrival of the Feng family also meant that he would be much more relaxed.

Cheng Yingzhen was originally in a very depressed mood. Thinking that the Feng family had brought a woman this time, she raised her head and asked, "Brother Feng, where is the person you brought?"

 Mother Dong called towards the kitchen, "Xianggui, Madam calls you."

Under the corridor lamp, a sallow-faced young woman wearing clean linen clothes came out with Su Silang in her arms. She looked at Su Yanli and his wife with a dull expression, as if she wanted to salute but didn't know what to do.

Feng Wangtian saw his niece being so stupid and he wanted to push her anxiously, but then he realized that she was holding Xiao Langjun and did not dare to move, "That...that..."

Although the person is numb, sluggish and malnourished, she can keep it clean and can hold a child. Su Ruojin is willing to give her a month to try it. If she is still so numb and sluggish after a month, she will not dare to use it.

 “Dad, let’s eat first.”

Su Yanli knew that his daughter had an idea, so he said nothing and nodded, "Listen to A Jin."

 She smiled and took her father's hand. Su Yanli turned around and pulled Cheng Yingzhen's other hand.

　　Well... Su Dalang was the only one left behind.

Su Ruojin turned around, reached for her brother's hand, and pulled him too. The whole family entered the kitchen like a small team.

 Mother Dong took Su Silang from Xianggui and said to Xianggui, "Go to the kitchen and serve dinner to your lord and madam as I told them."

Xianggui didn’t nod, but Ren followed her instructions and entered the kitchen. He looked sluggish, serving rice and dishes, and his hands and feet were quite nimble, as if he was used to serving others at home.

Feng Wangtian stood at the door of the kitchen and quietly looked inside. He was afraid that his niece would not be able to catch his employer's eyes, and he was anxious. Seeing that she was in order, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Feng family didn't want to eat at the same table as the Su family, so Su Ruojin opened another table in the workshop and allowed them to eat freely. "If it's not enough, let Aunt Gui come over and add more for you."

"That's enough, that's enough!" The Feng family father and son looked at the three dishes and one soup. Since their boss had made money, the food they were eating now was even better than when they were working a few years ago. On the way to the sky, I was very hungry and wolfed down everything.

Xianggui held the bowl and watched her uncle and his son eating. She looked at her round plate, which contained big white steamed buns, braised pork, scrambled eggs with fungus, and stir-fried cabbage. There was also pork ribs and radish soup in the small bowl at hand. , she had never eaten such a good meal, and her dull eyes flashed in the dim light, as if she was in a dream. Did her uncle really not lie to her, and was she really destined to live a good life?

Both groups of people have been working hard all day. No matter what they have in mind, they should wait until they get some sleep.

On the second day, Su Yanli got up on time to wash up and eat. After eating with his eldest son, he had to go on duty and couldn't delay. Su Dalang couldn't help but go to exercise. The father and son could go to Uncle Shu Tong's breakfast stall together.

Cheng Yingzhen took her little son to sleep until he woke up naturally, and so did Su Ruojin. When she got up and went to the kitchen to boil hot water as usual, Xianggui, who had just arrived yesterday, came forward with wash water and asked softly: "Second lady, do you want anything?" Send it to the bedroom?”

Su Ruojin shook his head, "From now on, I'll put it on the washstand at the door of the kitchen." Xianggui still brought back the wash water.

Su Ruojin stood in the corridor without moving. The Feng family and his son were cleaning the yard and sorting the weeds beside the wall.

 “Where’s Brother Ershi?”

Feng Dashi smiled and replied: "I went to help at the stall."

 Don’t say anything at all! Su Ruojin entered the kitchen with a smile, washed her face, and had breakfast.

Having multiple housekeepers at home is different!

Su Ruojin sighed repeatedly, no wonder it felt so good to be a rich man and have someone to take care of everything.

The woman who was so numb last night that she couldn't even turn her eyes seemed to be a different person after one night. Although her face was still sallow, her whole person became much more pleasing to the eye. That's right. Don't bother me. It's not good to treat you with money and still look at you with a dead look on your face.

 After eating, Su Ruojin moved a small stool and sat in the corridor, and also asked the Feng family and his son to come and sit.

Feng Wangtian was too embarrassed to sit on a small stool and wanted to sit on the steps. Su Ruojin stopped him, "The stone steps are cold. It will be uncomfortable when you get old and get sick."

They mud-legged people are so particular. Since the young lady was kind, Feng Wangtian had no choice but to sit on the small stool as she was told.

Su Ruojin did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Uncle Feng, do you have any plans to send the big stone and the two stones back so quickly, besides learning the calligraphy from us?"

Feng Wangtian rubbed his hands when asked by the young lady. He earned ten taels of silver a month and sent the person over in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. He was really embarrassed and said with a red face, "This The two boys are just weeding and fertilizing the hawthorn forest at home. They can't do anything serious. Why not send them to the lady? If you don't take advantage of anything, let them run errands. "

Uncle Feng's words were too modest. He only did weeding and fertilizing the hawthorn forests. Production was low in ancient times. Even though this was a small amount of work, it took up all the labor force in the family and could not finish the work all day long. .

Su Ruojin originally wanted to use them and said with a smile, "We got a head start on the hawthorn business last year, but if we help my family this year, it is unlikely that we will have ten taels a month. Do you still want your two brothers to stay? "

 “Stay, of course.” Even if it’s one tael a month, it’s much more than working hard at home.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "I plan to build a breakfast shop this year. I need to add one person to the front and back of the shop, so I will keep both Brother Dashi and Brother Shi."

"That's great." Feng Wangtian thought that there was a shortage of people in the Su's breakfast shop. He estimated that Ershi might stay. Unexpectedly, Dashi could also be left behind. He promised happily, "I will plant hawthorns this year and wait for winter." Then I’ll bring in a lot of hawthorns and sell them for money.”

Before Feng Wangtian returned, Su Ruojin set the contract wages for the Ershi brothers at 2 taels per month and Xianggui at 1 tael per month. "If you do well, you will be rewarded at the end of the year."

 One or two per month? Isn’t it twelve taels per year? Oh my god, Xianggui Mu's gloomy eyes suddenly burst into flames, and she knelt down in front of Su Ruojin.

 “Little lady, please buy me.”

Su Ruojin looked at Feng Wangtian.

The two Feng brothers are hired workers, and so is Xianggui. If they don't do well, they can pay and leave anytime and anywhere.
