Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 10873

Yang Huazhong waved his hand without thinking: "We don't want it here!"

"First of all, I am younger and in better shape than your uncle,"

"Besides, our yard is only 30% the size of your yard. You can see the back yard gate at a glance from the front yard door, so it's not a big deal."

"Your Luo family is different. It has such a big courtyard, like a royal palace, with a bunch of verandahs, rockeries and pavilions built in it, and so many trees and flowers planted. It's very hard to take care of these things!"

This time Yang Huazhong really means what he says and what he does will bear fruit.

Yang Ruoqing mentioned this matter in her parents' kitchen in the morning, and Yang Huazhong patted his chest and promised to persuade him to leave the matter to him.

After breakfast, Yang Huazhong came over to Luo's house and said he wanted to catch some fish and pickle them.

So Blacksmith Luo took his tools and went out with Yang Huazhong.

When Yang Ruoqing was having lunch, Wang Cuilian told Yang Ruoqing about Yang Huazhong's persuasion to Blacksmith Luo.

"Uncle You and I have thought about it a lot, and we think what your father said makes sense."

"If we had been a few years younger and could have helped more in the past few years, that would have been easier."

"In the past few years, we have all gotten older and our bodies are not as good as before."

"I feel scared thinking about your uncle who passed out while shoveling snow a few days ago."

"Your uncle has figured it out himself. People can't accept old age. We can't drag you down just to save a few dollars. In fact, we will suffer even greater losses."

"So your uncle asked me to tell you that you can make arrangements for hiring servants, and we will follow you."

Yang Ruoqing was really happy.

So during lunch, Yang Ruoqing discussed it with Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian at the dinner table.

The elders agreed to invite servants and maids to come to the house to take care of the housework, build flowers and trees, and clean the verandahs and courtyards.

Blacksmith Luo said: "I don't have any other requirements. I only have one thing. Servants and maids are not required to be smart, sharp-tongued, or quick-thinking. These are the second best."

"Because the servants and wives live in the same big courtyard with us every day, character, character is the most important thing!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "What the uncle said is absolutely true."

Those who live in the same courtyard for a long time must have good character and be loyal to protect the Lord. They cannot be greedy and selfish and can do all kinds of bad things.

Inviting such servants and maids to work at home is to plant a landmine in the home that may explode at any time.

"Auntie, where are you? Do you have any requirements?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Wang Cuilian thought for a while, "What your uncle said is what I think too, character is the most important thing first."

"Secondly, I still hope to find the right person in Shiliba Village. If I buy it from outsiders, I'm always worried. After all, they are all strangers."

Blacksmith Luo also quickly picked up Wang Cuilian's words: "Yes, it's best to find someone from the area, an acquaintance, and someone who knows his character."

Regarding the proposal of their two elders, Yang Ruoqing thought about it for a while, then raised her eyes and smiled and said:

"Looking for someone close to you means hiring someone with money, similar to someone who works at home for a long time." "The advantage is that you know the basics and what kind of person the other person is. The disadvantage is that the other person has not done well in those aspects, and we are in trouble. Because of the face of the fellow villagers, it is difficult to reprimand them face to face. Even if you express dissatisfaction, you have to choose your words carefully."

"There are even some villagers who follow us to the side. They may be relatives of relatives. If they are neglectful, they may offend a group of people and go out to say that the Luo family treats their servants harshly and is very difficult to control. "

You obviously spent money to hire people to come over to do the work, but you can't scold or beat them. How can you hire a servant?

This is for the ancestors, right?

"What Qing'er said makes sense," Wang Cuilian said. "I asked relatives and friends of relatives and friends to help me with the work. The wages were penniless and they had to entertain me well."

"To put it bluntly behind closed doors, our family pays for people to come and work at home. Even if we are not the kind of harsh host, we are not cowards either. We should follow the rules. What should we do? Otherwise, this is Tangyazi and Qing'er's hard-earned money, and we will be a loser!"

Blacksmith Luo took a sip of wine and nodded repeatedly.

Originally, he wanted to recommend a few people in the village. Seeing that their families were poor and honest, he wanted to recommend them to Qing'er and hire them as servants at home.

Now that I think about it, I might as well forget it. It is enough for Tangyazi and Qing'er to work hard to support themselves as an old couple. There is no reason to provide for outsiders, so Blacksmith Luo plans to completely delegate power on this matter and not cause any trouble to Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, you make the decision on this matter, you make arrangements, and your aunt and I will obey you." Blacksmith Luo put down the empty wine cup and said.

Wang Cuilian also nodded, "Yes, we are old and soft-hearted. Sometimes we do bad things with good intentions, but we don't care about this."

Yang Ruoqing said: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your understanding and support. Regarding hiring servants, I will find someone when the time comes."

"I also have a request."

"You can just say whatever you want. As a family, why do you still ask for it without asking for it? I'm a stranger!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you straight," Yang Ruoqing said, "When the time comes, whether they are servants bought from outside or hired from ten miles and eight villages, when I am disciplining them and setting rules for them, uncles and aunts should not come out. Is it okay to be a peacemaker?”

Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian looked at each other. Both elders were smart people, and they immediately understood Yang Ruoqing's good intentions.

"Qing'er, don't worry. When the servants come in, your aunt and I will be the old lady and old lady."

"Every day we just eat, drink, have fun, enjoy the happiness, spend time with our grandchildren, and do things we like."

"Yes, your uncle raises fish, I grow some vegetables and feed the chickens, etc., and we don't care about other things."

"Your aunt is right," Blacksmith Luo smiled, "As for the servants in the house, they follow the rules and there are clear rewards and punishments. Qing'er, you are the mistress of the house. It's your arrangement, we don't care!"

……

Although the twelfth lunar month is very busy, it is precisely because the twelfth lunar month is busy that Yang Ruoqing needs to find servants to share the burden.

After finishing the Laba porridge, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, after breakfast, Yang Ruoqing said to Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian, and then drove the carriage to the town.

I went to town today for two things. One was to hold the year-end meeting at the town restaurant.

After the year-end meeting, we will have a year-end reunion dinner with all the shopkeepers, stewards, chefs, and guys of Qingshui Town Restaurant.

This year's reunion dinner has another meaning, which is to clear the air for the second brother Yang Yongjin to take over as the shopkeeper of Qingshui Town Restaurant.

The last step, and what everyone is looking forward to, is the distribution of New Year red envelopes.

This is the first thing to do in town today, and the second thing will happen simultaneously.
