Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

After the meal, Chen Afu, Mama Song, Mama Huang, and Aunt Mu washed the children's faces and put them to bed. Chu Hanyan, Yang Qian, and Luo Mei slept on Chen Afu's bed, Dabao, Yang Chao, and Luo Mingcheng slept on Alu's bed, and Dahu and Daya slept on Chen Ming's kang in the upper room.

In the afternoon, when the children were sleeping, Aunt Luo led several people to Luyuan.

She said that this was the man chosen by the uncle for Chen Afu in the mansion of the general, and gave several slave deeds to Chen Afu.

Chen Afu felt his head hurt when he looked at these six people, old, middle-aged and young. Why does his family need so many serving people? Uncle Chu really doesn't understand the sufferings of the people.

Chen Ming and Wang felt their hearts bleed when they saw so many "casual eaters" coming all at once. My daughter doesn’t have much savings, so what if she has to support these people all of a sudden. But thinking that he was a member of the General's Office, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he didn't dare to show his face.

Aunt Luo seemed to see the dilemma of the Chen family and pulled Chen Afuf aside with a smile. He whispered, "Those two young men, one named Xue Dagui and the other Chu Xiaoniu, have some skills and are running errands in the house. They are not just guardians. My uncle said that they are only temporarily lent to your house. , Yueyin is still from our house. When you no longer need them, or you can buy a suitable person, let them go back. Those four people are a family, and they are given to you even with their slave contracts. That The older one is Old Zeng. He is fifty years old this year. Although he is older, he has some carpentry skills and was a village head when he was young. The two brothers Zeng are the sons of Old Zeng. They are twenty-eight years old. Before coming here, he worked as the second steward in the Foreign Affairs Office of the mansion. He often ran errands outside, knew general affairs and housekeeping, and knew many officials. The Zeng family siblings are the daughters-in-law of Brother Zeng. Their maiden name is Jiang, and they are the needlework stewards in the mansion. . That little girl is called Zeng Xiaoqing. She is eleven years old and can be your personal maid."

After listening to Aunt Luo's words, Chen Afu was grateful to Chu Lingxuan for considering his family from the bottom of his heart. The two bodyguards can not only look after the hospital, but can also do work. They are also on secondment. They can go back when their family is out of danger.

However, it was too good to pretend to be a member of the Zeng family. She was very satisfied with everyone, and she would definitely be able to use it in the future.

But, can they willingly change from being servants of the general's family to being servants of their own family? This gap is not generally large. It's like a government civil servant in a big city in his previous life who was suddenly demoted to work in a township enterprise in a remote mountainous area.

If people are in Cao Ying and their hearts are with Han, it will be annoying even if the subordinates are tossing them. Just like some unscrupulous slaves in "Dream of Red Mansions", they are less troublesome than their masters.

Chen Afu said hesitantly, "Thank you, uncle. I am very satisfied with these people. It's just that my family is too small and we are in the countryside. I am afraid of wronging the Zeng family who have been living in a wealthy family in the city..."

Aunt Luo said domineeringly, "What's wrong with us in the countryside? When my head comes back to the General's Mansion, even the chief steward is very polite. Even if he occasionally returns to the capital to do business, those stewards don't dare to look down on him. Don't worry, Ah Fu." , since my uncle sent them here, they must be reliable."

Chen Afu added, "The two nursing homes should be paid by my family. How can you work in my family and ask your uncle to pay for them?"

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "Afu, don't be polite. My uncle is also thinking about my sister. Only when your home is safe, can I feel free to play at your house?"

After saying that, he pulled Chen Afu to those people and said, "Don't think that Master Chen is a young lady, but she is very capable and teaches her very well. Even the uncle and master praised her. Highly respected. Especially the young master Bao Geer, who is very capable and will become an official in the future. You will follow their mother and son, and you will not lose your status. If you serve well, you will have great fortunes in the future. Isn’t there an old saying? Well, I’d rather make chicken heads than ox tails.”

When those people heard this, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Afu asked them to stand up. He secretly thought that now his family has grown to eight people, and there are also a few big stomachs. We must find a way to make the best use of everyone, so that each of them can shine the most and be self-sufficient...

Chen Afu called the whole family to the living room and asked them to kowtow and recognize the master. He then redistributed the living quarters and divided up the work.

Old Zengtou was a janitor and housekeeper. From now on, Zeng Shuang mainly took care of the family's fields and some external affairs. Jiang and Aunt Mu took care of the kitchen and helped Wang with sewing. Zeng Xiaoqing cleaned and served Chen Afu and her son, and Shanzi fed the pigs. , feed chickens and serve Alu.

As for Xue Dagui and Chu Xiaoniu, her family does not need to be a simple nurse, they have to work. She had already set her sights on the wasteland 200 meters northeast of her home. There was about five acres of land there. She bought it and reclaimed it to grow watermelons...

Lao Zengtou lives in Huaizuo, temporarily sharing a room with Shanzi. Zeng Shuang and his wife, Xue Dagui, Chu Xiaoniu and Aunt Mu lived in the back room, while Zeng Xiaoqing lived in the east wing. Let them tidy up their room and then take a rest.

After that, Chen Afu took out the money and asked Chen Ming to go to Liu Lizheng's house in Shangshui Village and buy those acres of land. That is the boundary of Sheung Shui Village.

Aunt Luo smiled and saw that Chen Afu had finished the distribution, and then added, "Afu, look, I don't want to go back when I'm playing at your house. My boss went to have dinner and didn't come back. It's so boring for me to stay alone in Tangyuan." Ah. Just ask Dabao to invite him to your house as a guest, and let him play with his sister more. You are good at cooking. You can prepare some dishes and treat him to a few drinks in the evening. It is also you who thanks him for his help. Are you busy?"

That's true. This man has helped her a lot, and she will rely on him to help her even more in the future.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "I have also thought about inviting Mr. Chu to come to my house as a guest. I am afraid that Mr. Chu will dislike my little family, so I have been embarrassed to invite him."

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "I see that you are smart, but you can also be confused sometimes. Even if you invite me, I will be happy even if you don't come. Besides, my uncle thinks about my sister very much, and he praises you a lot. It will definitely come.”

After hearing this, Chen Afu quickly called Dabao and Alu, and gave them these instructions to go to Tangyuan to invite Chu Lingxuan.

Because the most distinguished guest was coming, Chen Afu went to sort out the ingredients, thinking about making a mutton hot pot, and let Mu and Wang do the preliminary preparations. She had to cook the soup herself.

The children woke up early. Usually, the children would play games with Chen Afu as soon as they woke up, but today Chen Afu was busy and let them play with building blocks by themselves. The other children can still play by themselves, but Chu Hanyan, who already has a stable biological clock, feels very uncomfortable because she doesn't do what she should do as soon as she wakes up. She didn't go to play either. She ran to the corridor in the west wing and watched Chen Afu assigning tasks to those people. Her eyes kept moving with Chen Afu.
