The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 17, Not Optimistic
Because he helped Du Ruo transport two carts of medicinal materials, Hua Changxi clearly felt that Du Ruo was more enthusiastic towards him.

When the two returned to the sixth game, it was time for dinner. Du Ruo took the initiative to call Hua Changxi and went to the cafeteria together.

There are very few people in the cafeteria, and not many people can finish their tasks on time every day. Those who are slow have to work until late at night, and some people may have to stay up all night.

Hua Changxi asked: "Manager Du, what if we work late and have no food to eat?"

Du Ruo: "You need to build good relationships with other people and ask them to bring you some steamed buns to your dormitory so that you can fill your stomach when you go back home at night. If no one helps you, you will have to go hungry."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you before. The errand hall has one day off a month, and every ten days, there is also half a day of rest time."

Afterwards, Du Ruo told Hua Changxi some things about the Miscellaneous Services Hall, and after dinner, the two parted ways.

Hua Changxi returned to his room and found no one in it. After quickly washing up, he climbed onto the bed, lay face down on it, closed his eyes, and began to practice.

After working all day, she was actually quite tired. As she continued practicing, her physical fatigue was relieved little by little.

The sky gradually darkened, and only when it was completely dark did people return to their rooms one after another.

When the people in the same room saw that Hua Changxi had fallen asleep, they showed no intention of lowering their voices, and instead their voices became louder and louder.

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly everyone talked, Hua Changxi showed no intention of waking up.

"Why is she sleeping so soundly?"

"She's still young, and today is her first day at the errand hall. She must be exhausted."

The voices of the crowd gradually faded away.

The Hua family in Xiu Zheng Fang.

When Hua Sanlang returned home and conveyed what Pharmacist Xu had brought back, the Hua family members all looked a little complicated when they learned that Hua Changxi would be living in the menial service hall and would only have one day off a month.

Yao was extremely worried: "Jiu Niang has never left home since she was a child. When she left this morning, she didn't bring any luggage with her. I have to go pack some things for her."

"stop!"

Mr. Hua called out to Yao and looked at the people in the main room seriously: "You are not allowed to send anything to Jiu Niang."

"Nine Mother's ideas are so big that she doesn't even listen to me, her grandfather. She is so determined to get into the Medical Department that she doesn't care about the opinions of the family at all."

"Where does she get the confidence to do this?"

"It's all because of your indulgence. Anyway, she got into trouble and you are the ones who have to clean up the mess for her."

"It was fine when she was little before, but now she's getting older, can you guarantee that you will be able to deal with the trouble she causes in the future?"

"Let her experience some hardship in the errand hall and know how difficult it is to make a living. Only then will she understand how important her family is to her."

"We need to let her know that she dared to be so stubborn before because her family was there to protect her. Now that she's away from home, she's nothing."

Hua Minghe's brows were knotted, and Hua Sanlang and Hua Liulang also had stern faces, obviously somewhat disapproving of Grandpa Hua's approach. Yao simply lowered her head to hide the reluctance on her face.

Old Madam Hua saw that the atmosphere was a little off, so she came out to smooth things over: "Children need to be disciplined more carefully when they grow up, especially the young lady."

"Boss, Boss's wife, tell me, with Jiu Niang's personality, which family would dare to marry her?"

"If she doesn't change her temper, she will suffer a lot when she marries into her husband's family in the future."

"She hasn't married yet, so let's take care of her. When she gets married, she won't have to suffer as much."

"Your father and I have worked so hard for this family. If you don't understand and cooperate, it will really chill our hearts."

Uncle Hua immediately took over the conversation: "Brother and sister-in-law, I think what our parents said is right. None of the sons in the family are as opinionated as Jiu Niang. It is unacceptable for her to be like this. She must be properly disciplined."

Then he looked at Uncle Hua and said, "Old Four, what do you think?"

Fourth Uncle Hua looked at the old man and the old lady, then looked at Hua Minghe and Yao, and said vaguely: "Ninth Lady, you are not very respectful and humble."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Hua looked at Hua Minghe and said, "You don't have to listen to me and your father, but you should consider what your two brothers say."

Hua Minghe quickly stood up and bowed, "What are you talking about, mother? We didn't disobey you and father. We just feel sorry for Jiu Niang who is suffering in the errand hall."

Old Madam Hua said angrily, "Is this hardship given to Jiu Niang by her family? She asked for it. It is said that every failure makes one wiser. Whether Jiu Niang can learn from her mistakes depends on what you do."

Hua Minghe was silent for a while, and finally compromised: "We will listen to our parents." "I hope you will do what you say."

Old Mrs. Hua and Old Mr. Hua looked at each other and showed satisfaction.

Hua Twelve Mother leaned towards Hua Seven Mother and whispered, "Seventh Sister, you said before that Ninth Sister would become more and more confident in the future. See, even Uncle doesn't think highly of Ninth Sister."

"Ninth sister is at home, and she doesn't even wash the clothes of uncle, third brother and sixth brother. How can she bear the hardship of being a handyman?"

"Just wait and see. Maybe in two days, Sister Nine will come back in disgrace."

The next day, when the first ray of light in the sky shone on the earth, the shrill sound of gongs was heard in the servants' hall. People in the servants' rooms opened their eyes and prepared to get up and start work.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"Should you call her?"

"Why are you yelling? They work so fast, so what's wrong with sleeping a little longer?"

"Okay Qingluo, stop meddling in other people's business. Maybe even if you call her, she won't appreciate your kindness."

"Hurry up and go. If you go too late, you'll have to queue again."

The servants have to race against time every day. They have to queue up to eat, to get medicinal materials, and to hand in tasks. The workload is already heavy, and if they move slower, there will be even less time.

At the beginning of the Chen hour (7:00), the servants had already received the medicinal materials to be cleaned that day, pulled them to the front of the ditch, and began to clean and process them.

After his men started working, Du Ruo came over and took a look, and soon discovered that Hua Changxi had not arrived yet.

Having stayed in the menial service hall for several years, she understood that Hua Changxi had not adapted to the work and rest schedule there and got up late. At the same time, the person who shared the room with her did not call her.

After hesitating for a while, Du Ruo didn't ask anyone to call Hua Changxi.

As a newcomer, you have to suffer a little before you know how to work hard to integrate into the team and how to behave yourself.

At 9:30 am, Hua Changxi finally opened his eyes, stretched, got out of bed with a smile on his face, and couldn't hide his joy.

She found that practicing here was much faster than practicing at home.

[Realm: Qi Training Realm 51/1000]
After one night, not only was all the spiritual energy that was consumed yesterday restored, but the realm point was also increased by two points.

Hua Changxi estimated that practicing at home could only improve his realm by two points in one night, but practicing here could improve his realm by five points in one night.

Practicing here is more than twice as much as at home!

This discovery made Hua Changxi excited but also a little confused.

Why is it faster to practice in the menial hall than at home?
Could it be that the spiritual energy in the air in the servants' hall is richer than that at home?

"It was a good decision to go to the errand hall."

Hua Changxi glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was already high in the sky, and his expression changed.

She must have gotten up late!

There was no other way. Practicing at midnight and dawn was the most efficient time, as the spiritual energy circulated most smoothly during this period. She didn't want to waste this time.

I guess I won't have breakfast.

"what?"

Hua Changxi found two multi-grain steamed buns on her bedside, and his face lit up with joy: "Who put it there?"

It seems that there are some very friendly people among her new roommates.

Hua Changxi quickly washed up, picked up the steamed bun, and walked towards the front yard while eating.

When we arrived at the front yard, the servants on both sides of the ditch were busy.

Du Ruo saw her and said, "You have to clean and process 500 herbs today. If you can't finish it, you are not allowed to sleep. Go to the warehouse to get the herbs to be processed."

When Hua Changxi saw that Du Ruo did not scold her for getting up late, she was immediately delighted and decided that as long as Du Ruo did not say anything, she would always get up late.
