Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 642 This prospect is still good
Liu Ya thought for a while, and then said: "I taught Xiaoshu'er to read, and Xiaoshu'er has a good comprehension ability, so he can learn it as soon as he learns it. If you are willing to learn, I will teach you when you come to work every day. You can teach your two younger brothers how to read when you go back. But I don’t have much time to teach you, so I can only spare some time to teach. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your understanding.”

When Wang Xiaodong heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "Thank you, sister of the Liu family." After speaking, he quickly changed his words: "Thank you, Master."

Liu Ya said: "You don't need to call me so born, you can just call me Liu Ya. I may not be here often in the shop, you just listen to Chun Niu. She is also literate, and I will tell her when I am free. Time to teach you. If you all learn well, I will find a way to send you to school. However, you have to pay for the tuition yourself."

Wang Xiaodong immediately said: "All right, as long as I can learn to read, I can work for nothing. I will study hard, and I will teach my brother well when I go back."

Liu Ya pondered for a while, and said: "If you study well, I can also reward you and help you pay for your tuition. But before you go to the school, you have to sign a contract, promising that after you finish your studies, you will come back to my shop , Listen to my unified arrangement of what work to do. You don’t have to work for me for the rest of your life, at least you have to work for me for another ten years after you finish your studies.”

Wang Xiaodong probably didn't understand the meaning of the contract, and asked, "You mean, you pay us to go to school, and then let us work for you when we come back?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "That's what I mean, I will also give you wages. The better you study, the more wages you will get."

Wang Xiaodong blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully: "You pay the money, we should come back to work for you, and sign a contract?"

Liu Ya was also taken aback for a moment, and then she understood that maybe the children in the mountains are simple, and now they don't think of changing jobs at all.Wang Xiaodong must have thought that if the Liu family paid him to go to school and work for him, he was a worker of the Liu family.This is a good idea, and I hope that other children will have the same idea as him in the future.

If Liu Ya's self-help children really become talents, and if they still don't forget their original intention, within a few years, Liu Ya's subordinates must have many talents.At that time, whether it is assigning these people to work or recommending them to enter the officialdom, they will be able to rely on each other and have a strong brother backing up. This development prospect is really good.

While talking, he had already come to the spring.During this period of time, Siping cut bamboo to build a shed when he had time, but now he is building a bamboo hut by the spring.Although it is not so exquisite, it does not have the elegant charm of mountains and forests.

There are also some necessary utensils in the house, and those bamboo tubes filled with water are placed outside the door.Now every once in a while, the bamboo tube will be replaced again.This can not only ensure the taste of spring water without losing the fragrance of bamboo, but also ensure hygiene and cleanliness.

Liu Ya went to carry the bamboo tube to fill the water, and Wang Xiaodong also came to help with a wink.After filling a few bamboo tubes, they rushed to help Liu Ya carry them up, and walked towards the small water shop together.

Liu Ya told him what to do for a while, for example, when the water in the bamboo tube was gone, he had to go to the spring to fetch water, and don't wait until the bamboo tube was empty and the guests had nothing to drink.

And when the guests came, he didn't need to greet him, but it was necessary to help pour water and serve dishes, and then he had to quickly clean up the table, wash the dishes and so on.In fact, they are all chores, which is a lot to say, but in fact, they are the usual chores of small restaurants.

After Liu Ya finished speaking, Wang Xiaodong nodded repeatedly, and said, "I can do all these things, so don't worry."

Liu Ya said that it would be a while to see his performance, and Wang Xiaodong was also full of confidence.

However, when the first group of guests arrived, Wang Xiaodong seemed a little cramped.Standing outside the small bamboo shed seemed to struggle for a long time before coming over to pour water for the guests.

Liu Ya knew in her heart that this was probably because he was not used to greeting outsiders for a while, and he was a little resigned.I didn't mean to blame him, I thought it would be good if I learned more after a while.After all, it is normal for a child who has been in the mountains all year round to have such a reaction when he sees a stranger occasionally.

After Liu Ya greeted the guests, she hurriedly went to the back to cook.Although Wang Xiaodong was reserved, he was just embarrassed to speak.But his hands and feet are very diligent, he knows how to help Liu Ya serve dishes, and also knows how to refill water for guests.

It wasn't until the first group of guests left that Wang Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down next to the stove behind the small bamboo shed, and panted heavily.

Liu Ya followed and asked him, "What's wrong? Are you not used to it?"

Wang Xiaodong nodded and said, "Well, I'm very nervous, my heart is beating wildly."

Liu Ya just laughed, and said: "It's not a little girl, who are you afraid of seeing? It's okay, just exercise. You did pretty well just now, at least you didn't neglect the guests."

After Liu Ya's encouragement, Wang Xiaodong stood up.Holding the small bamboo shed, he took a look at the official road and said, "Are there many guests like this in a day?"

"It's not every day, it's just a period of time like noon." After speaking, Liu Ya pointed to the official road and said, "Look, there are guests here again."

This time Wang Xiaodong took a deep breath, he didn't flinch anymore, and he didn't look too nervous.When the guests came, although they still didn't speak, they wiped the tables and chairs with a rag, put a small bamboo cup in front of each guest, and filled it with water.

Some guests also asked him if he was a new guy, and Wang Xiaodong also answered.Although he was a little shy when answering, he was definitely very polite.

When it was the busiest time at noon, Liu Ya was cooking in the back, and the sweat was dripping off her face, when she heard the sheep bleating.As soon as I heard that it was Xiao Hei from their family who came.

Liu Ya thought it was Liu Xu'er who came to deliver the food, and she helped out by the way, but it turned out that it was Chun Niu and Siping who came.He drove Xiao Hei, carrying two big wooden barrels, which contained the meals for Master Gu and the others.

Once here, Chunniu washed her hands to help Liu Ya, and Siping went to cook for Master Gu.

Liu Ya also had the time to catch her breath, looked up at Chun Niu, and asked, "Is your mother okay? Actually, you don't need to come back in a hurry, just look at me and find help."

Chunniu saw the eldest son of the Wang family just now, and knew that he was Liu Ya's helper.But Chun Niu just smiled, said "My mother is fine", took the spatula from Liu Ya's hand, and started cooking.

Seeing this situation, Liu Ya knew it was impossible to be fine.There must be some embarrassment in her family, but Chun Niu was too embarrassed to talk to herself.
