Zhan Zhumen

In the early morning of the next day, in the residential area of ​​military dependents in the eastern suburbs of Kunming.

The sound of horseshoes sounded in the alley, accompanied by the crisp sound of bells, which was particularly clear on this pleasant morning.

The firewood doors of each house and courtyard creaked open, and the men, women and children who had been waiting for a long time all held the door and looked towards the place of the sound, with half of their bodies propped up.

"I'm coming!"

"Mrs. Shizi really sent someone to pick us up!"

"Mrs. Shizi keeps her word. Of course she will come to pick us up!"

The carriage stopped in front of each firewood gate, checked the names, and let people get on the carriage only after confirming that they were correct.

"Grandma, I'm leaving!" Xiduo waved her hand outside from the car door, her voice full of excitement.

"Okay, work hard, be obedient, and don't argue with others." Grandma Zhi chased after two steps, and told her carefully.

"Got it!"

I don't know what kind of job she will be assigned, and I have some expectations in my heart, and I am afraid that I can't do it well, what if I get fired?
A heart hangs.

After walking for a long time, she was led to a workshop by the female steward. On the ground were many wooden basins longer than an adult's arm, filled with water.

After being led, I didn't know how many yards I walked, and I came to a wide place.Mrs. Shizi?
Dazed for a moment, seeing other people bowing to Mrs. Shizi, they also hurriedly bowed down to salute, very clumsily.

Granny Zhi heard it from the opposite door, looked down at her grandson and smiled, "Your elder sister won't come back for lunch, we Xiye can eat a few more bites."

Pull it to some bad place?
In case she can't come back, let's see if Grandma Zhi will cry to death.

"Bah. Just wait and cry then."

The woman spat, turned around and entered the door, and closed the chai door firmly.An old woman in the room scolded: "What kind of monster! Are you not afraid that the door will fall?"

Grandma Zhi glared at the man with disdain in her heart.

Even more confused, I don't know what Madam Shizi wants them to do.

Seeing Xiduo looking at her hands, everyone also took their hands to look at them, and some quietly put their hands behind their backs.

There were people who were watching, seeing such a big and special carriage to pick up people, they felt sore, "Is this really pulling people to do work? What kind of work can a child as young as Xiduo want? I'm afraid... ..."

Fragrant pancakes are so fragrant, do they cost dozens of pennies? "More than that, it's only worth a few pennies for such a fragrance!" whispered while washing.

"Yes. Thank you Madam Shizi! We must be cautious in our words and deeds, and we should not say what we should not say."

After everyone finished the salute, he smiled and said a few words: "Thank you for your trust. From today on, you will work in this workshop, and you will be waiting at the entrance of the alley at this time every day. You will be picked up by a carriage, and you will be taken care of at noon. After lunch, I will take you back in a carriage in the afternoon. As for the wages, the income varies from job to job, and the more you do, the more you get. If you don’t do it, you can’t do it. I will also dismiss you if you are absent from work without reason or lazy in your work.”

Looking at my hands again, even the nails are clean.

The steward saw it, but didn't say a word.

A group of middle-aged and middle-aged girls whispered to each other, unable to figure out the intention of Mrs. Shizi.

The crowd shuddered, "Understood."

"Okay, save it for your sister to eat at night."

"Why are there so many pots?" "What a big pot!" "It's new! It's bigger than my bath tub!"

"Keep it for sister."

"Understood." Xiduo also hurriedly said.

She will not be absent from work, she must work hard and get paid more for her work.Why is she absent from work when she has a full meal at noon?He secretly cheered himself up, no matter how hard life was, he didn't make a sound.

"We must do things well!" "Yes, we must do things well!"

No one spoke.

Xiduo quietly sniffed at herself.She is not dirty, because she is coming to work today. Grandma boiled a pot full of hot water yesterday to wash her clean. She is not dirty at all.

What can Mrs. Shizi lie to them?No matter what their status is, it is worthwhile to lie to them!Pulling the hand of the grandson who was looking forward, wishing to go with the car, entered the house, and the chai door slammed shut.

Xiduo smiled at her with her lips pursed, raised her legs with the others, took two steps, paused again, and quietly lifted her shoes to look, for fear that something would get on the soles of her feet and dirty the house.

"Mrs. Shizi thinks that we are not clean, so you want us to take a bath?"

Mrs. Shizi is willing to use such expensive incense sticks for them?
She never used it.Xiduo carefully foamed her hands and washed her hands again and again. After washing, she held her hands to her nose and smelled it. It smells so good!

Vanilla said from the side: "Can you hear me clearly?"

Very good.Huo Xi nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the managers of the workshop to lead the staff assigned to them.Xiduo also left with a female steward.

When the female steward saw her and smiled, Xiduo's face immediately flushed red.

Huo Xi smiled: "They're all here, Mo Duoli."

He led them to a sink and confessed: "You will be doing delicate work in a while, and you need to clean your hands and face. There are fragrant soaps here. First wash your hands and face, rub them carefully, and sew your nails together. Clean it up too."

"Why are you standing still, come in quickly." A female steward at the door greeted them.

"Later, I will divide you into several groups according to the different jobs. Let's work for a few days for now. If you have other ideas, or if you are not suitable for the job at hand, you can adjust again. I hope you will work hard and don't be lazy and slippery. Be careful. Be cautious, be loyal to the workshop, and don’t make arrangements outside. I hope that with your efforts, you can give as much as possible to the family.”

Everyone hurried around again, picked up the headscarves and tied their hair like a steward, which was very fresh.

"No, it's because the wind is too strong, it's smooth."

All the way to a big house, it was really big, taking up half of the street, Xiduo had never been in such a big house before, so she was a little apprehensive.

Xiduo has never even ridden in an ox cart for a few times, and it is the first time to sit in such a long and wide carriage. She looks at the carriage and the various scenery on the road along the way. The small traders who carry the burden in the morning can watch for a long time. It's looking forward to.

"Here, each person gets a scarf and wraps their hair up to avoid hair falling in when doing work later. Whoever fails to do the work will have to deduct money."

When everyone heard it, they gathered around.

Huo Xi glanced at the dozens of men, women and children in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

While they were wrapping their hair, they suddenly saw many people walking in carrying baskets.It's petals!

What does Mrs. Shizi want so many petals for?so many!
A group of young and middle-aged girls stared at it, and the ground was soon filled with baskets of various sizes, there must be hundreds of baskets.

"Okay, this is the work you will do in the future. Now wash these petals first, and we will sort them out later." The female steward checked their hygiene conditions one by one, and began to arrange the work.

Xiduo breathed a sigh of relief, cleaning the petals?She will live this life.Mrs. Shizi said that the more you do, the more you get. Whoever cleans the most must get the most wages.Xiduo looked left and right, quickly pulled a basket of petals, moved another stool, and started working without raising her head.

When the others saw it, they were not to be outdone, and followed suit.
