Chapter 98

"Then choose from that group of workers. Most of them are villagers from the surrounding area. They are the top leaders in the work. I recruited them temporarily. They have been working for such a long time, and they look pretty good."

"Then how many people do you think are suitable?"

"There must be 20 people in the orchard, five in the pond, and five in the pasture. The gatekeeper must be a person with a death contract. I'll find out for you, the gravekeeper."

"I have a suitable one, don't think about it yet"

"If that's the case, thirty or so will be enough. I'll select them for you from the workers who are doing the work. How about working as a long-term worker at your home?"

"There are so many people doing long-term jobs, and they don't grow greenhouse vegetables in winter? Isn't it just a waste of money?"

"Hey, with Miss Xi'er's intelligence, she will definitely find a suitable job for them."

"You are forcing people into me, you want me to support them?"

"The county magistrate has approached me and asked about this matter, to see if the poor people around the town can be placed with you."

"He can find me, it's not that he doesn't know me"

"My lord just asked, I guessed so"

"You will speak for him"

Manager Liang left, Xi'er drove the carriage to the tea shed sixty miles away, and sure enough, he saw the old man still selling tea.

She got out of the car and came to the old man's tea shed.

"Grandpa, my name is Xi'er, do you remember me?"

The old man looked at her in disbelief, and tears welled up immediately.

"It's great that you are still alive, I thought you were given by them and felt guilty for a long time"

"I'm thirsty, can I have a bowl of water?"

"Grandpa will pour it for you"

The old man wiped away his tears, and quickly poured Xi'er a bowl of tea, "Come, drink."

Xi'er sat down and slowly drank the tea bowl.

"Grandpa, what should I call you? Are you here by yourself? Don't you have any family?"

"My surname is He, and I have a wife. She is blind, so I didn't bring it out."

"Have no relatives?"

"Gone"

"How much money do you make a day?"

"If you don't earn much, you will have a bite to eat, and you won't be hungry"

"Do you still have land at home?"

The old man shook his head, "We have a son who fell ill and sold all the land in the family, but failed to save him."

"I'll find you a job, one tael of silver a month, and take care of your food and lodging, are you coming?"

"What is it for?"

"Keeping a cemetery with tens of acres of land"

"Cemetery?"

"Yes, you don't need to do anything at ordinary times, just guard the gate,"

"Is there still such a good job?"

"Yes, if you come, I will take you and your wife there now"

The old man sized her up again, "Can you be the master?"

"That cemetery belongs to my Luo family. My family has the final say. Do you want to come?"

The old man swallowed, bit his lip, and finally nodded fiercely.

"Girl, I believe in you, I'll go"

"Then get in the car, I'll go back with you to pick up the old lady, let's go now"

"Take all these tables and chairs, it's a pity to throw them away."

"it is good"

In this way, Xi'er drove the car herself, took the old man home, picked up his old wife, and went to the cemetery together.

The old man thought it would be a particularly desolate place, but he didn't expect that the cemetery was built so well, the gate was so grand, and even the houses he lived in were all green bricks and big tiled houses.

Xi'er put them down and asked them to tidy up here first. She went back and brought back some food and drink, two bolts of cloth, a few catties of cotton and other daily necessities.

After unloading the car, she gave the old man 12 taels of silver.

"Grandpa, this is a year's wages. If you take care of your family, I will send you so much every year. There are people working outside during the day.

I will say hello to the stewards here, no one will bully you, stay here with peace of mind, just clean my father's tomb when you are free,
By the way, chamber pots cannot be poured in the cemetery, and there is no latrine, after you use the toilet, you should pour it in the orchard outside."

"Hey, hey, I understand this"

"Well, I'll give you a donkey cart later, it will be more convenient for you to go shopping."

"Girl? Why are you so nice to us?"

"Grandpa, you just need to know that good people are rewarded with good things."

Xi'er left, and the two old people were moved to cry.

Since his son left, no one in the village paid any attention to them. In order to make a living, the old man sold tea on the official road in summer and collected firewood in winter. He was always hungry and full. people.

Unexpectedly, with an unintentional kind word from him, he met such a little girl and reversed his own destiny.

When he and his old wife left the village, the villagers couldn't believe it. The old couple would go away in a carriage that they couldn't afford in their lifetime. This envied all the villagers and made most of the old man's depression dissipate. Son.

Now living in such a new house, the furniture inside is complete, no wonder the little girl won't let them move those old furniture.

They also gave them a cart of food and drink, which was complete enough for the two of them to eat without going out for a month.

What they didn't expect was that the donkey cart was brought over the next day, and the two old people wiped their tears happily, as if they had lived again. The days that they had no hope for at first, now they looked forward to again .

After finishing this matter, there will be nothing else to do for the time being, but she will still make excuses and go out every few days.

In order to enter the space to practice and improve one's own strength.

She had just come back for one day, and planned to "go out" the next day, but there were guests at home.

Who?It is Xiao Jian's father, Xiao Tianbao.

He just arrived today, so he couldn't wait, and brought Xiao Jian and his grandson Xiao Jinnian over to visit.

Xi'er and Mrs. Luo received them in the living room. Madam Zhou retreated after serving tea, and there was no outsider in the room.

Xiao Tianbao introduced himself, "I am Xiao Jian's father and I have been living in the capital. I heard from Xiao Jian that if Miss Xi'er hadn't gone to accompany my daughter-in-law that day, she might have had a difficult delivery. Miss Xi'er saved my son. Daughter-in-law, so I think I'll just take a look, I hope you don't mind."

The corners of Xi'er's mouth twitched, and she wanted to come over to find out, but she actually used such a blatant banner.

Mrs. Luo smiled and said, "The mayor also takes good care of our family, which is what our Xi'er should do."

"Haha, I heard that Miss Xi'er is very good at farming. This time I will stay at home for a while and learn from Miss Xi'er."

Xi'er nodded with a half smile, what can she say?This old fox wanted to observe him closely, Xiao Jian must have told this old fox about himself.

It's really troublesome, one Xiao Jian is not enough, another one will come.

However, she had a good impression of Xiao Jinnian who was sitting next to her. She sat there obediently, without squinting, with a good posture. It seemed that Xiao's family taught her very well.

Inadvertently, she saw the red rope around his neck, which she weaved with a special technique.

It seems that as soon as Mr. Qiao saw his son, he gave this to him. If he didn't like it, this little guy wouldn't wear it. It seems that he likes it very much.

They said a few polite words, Xiao Tianbao took his family to leave, Xi'er saw what he brought, how could he let them go back empty-handed.

So they brought a lot of rare things that could be brought to them in the warehouse. Fortunately, several guards came and waited outside, otherwise they would not be able to take them back.

As soon as Xiao Tianbao got home, he started talking to Xiao Jian.

"This girl doesn't look like anything special"

"You said you can't judge by appearance"

"Well, it took only a year for a little village girl to have such a family business. She really can't be judged by appearances. Over the years in Huaishu Town, she is the only one who is different, and no one else thinks about it."

"As soon as you came back, you went to her house without taking a rest, aren't you tired?"

"Tired ass, nothing is important, since she is so special, why don't we."

Xiao Tianbao glanced at Xiao Jian, and with just one glance, Xiao Jian understood what his father meant, and he immediately waved his hand and said.

 Babies, I plan to let Xiao Jinnian be Xi'er's little fanboy, how about a crush?
