After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shuiqing is preparing lunch.

Li Dani, Li Erni, Wang Qiuyue, Zhou Yu, and Zheng Yan hurried to the kitchen and looked panicked when they saw Shui Qing cooking.

Shui Qing was stunned when she turned around and saw them, and asked: "You are tired these days, why don't you sleep a little more?"

Mother Hu didn't expect them to get up after just sleeping for such a while. Is this enough time to rest?

The five of them, Li Dani, seemed to have made a mistake. They lowered their heads and said at a loss: "We went to bed and got up late. I promise there will be no next time."

"Ma'am, let's do it?"

"How can a lady do these jobs?"

In the past, when they were at Zhuangzi, they had to share the work of the head of the village, let alone the boss.

Madam is the boss!

Shui Qing believed that he was not a cruel Zhou Bapi who treated others harshly. He looked at the five women in front of him and said with a smile: "It's okay. You just came here and everything is not familiar yet. You should get used to it slowly and then you can work again after you have rested." Not too late."

They had just suffered a catastrophe and suffered physical and mental injuries. They should rest for a few more days if they can.

Besides, when they didn't come, I wasn't tired from doing the cooking. I couldn't be rich as soon as they arrived. They had to do it.

After Li Dani and the other five heard this, they looked up at Shui Qing in shock, and then suddenly lowered their heads.

Madam really doesn’t blame them and sincerely wants them to rest more!

However, "We've got some rest. If you have any work, Madam, just ask us to do it."

"We got to know each other better while doing the work."

"How about we cook the food ourselves?" We can't let Madam do the food for a group of them!

And it's impossible to always eat the same thing as the boss. In that case, they would be too ignorant.

Shui Qing looked at their frightened expressions and felt confused. Was she evil?

Why are they so afraid of her? She looks like a vicious mistress!

Qin Yilin was the most experienced person in the room. He walked calmly in front of the five people and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, you madams are aware of this. Because we are thinking that the men will go on a long journey again tomorrow, let's eat together today.

After they come back, they will have to build another house for you to live in. Once the house is built, it will not be too late to go out and make your own food.

Moreover, you have been working hard all the way, and you can only work hard when you are in good health. There is a lot of work here! "

When Qin Yilin said this, the five women suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just have something to do!

I'm afraid that the new owner will have no work to do. If there is no work to do, it means that it is not cost-effective to raise them, and sooner or later they will be sold.

They are not afraid of working, but they are afraid of being unstable and being sold back and forth.

Qin Yilin asked the five of them to walk around the house to get familiar with it, or to continue resting in the house and call them when the meal was ready.

The five people nodded quickly and went out of the courtyard to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

In the kitchen, Mother Hu lost her previous nervousness and asked curiously: "I didn't know what to say just now. Why do you think there are still people vying for work?"

It’s not like you’re working for your own family, but you’re also working for your master’s family, so why should you rob him?

Qin Yilin put some firewood in the stove hole and explained: "They are different from those who were sold into slavery or sold halfway. According to Ziqian's father, these people are all born in the same family."

Seeing the confusion on Mother Hu's face, she explained more carefully: "Children born in the family are children born to slaves in the master's family. Some have saved enough money to redeem themselves or the master's family is kind enough to let them live out, but most of them continue to stay in the master's family as slaves. It’s just family giving birth to children.”

Hu's mother said oh, puzzled: "Why are there still people who don't want to come out?"

She originally thought that most of them had no choice but to raise enough money, but this group of people heard from Master Bai that they had bought a deed of sale to set them free, but they were unwilling.

What Qin Yilin said next solved Hu’s mother’s confusion, “Family births are different. When they are born, they either work in the village or serve the master in the master’s house, and all they learn is to be slaves;

It is too risky for them to rashly go out and live alone. In comparison, they would rather live dependent on their master's family. "

Just do whatever the master tells you to do, don't worry about the future.

Shui Qing thought this was because their life skills had deteriorated. Just like birds and beasts raised in captivity, it would be difficult for them to survive if they were rashly released into the wilds and forests.

Humans are stronger than birds and beasts, but when given a choice, they still like to follow a familiar lifestyle and are unwilling to change.

Mother Hu also understood.

She understood it simply, just like her family members were accustomed to living outside and did not want to be slaves, but they were the opposite.

Qin Yilin said to Shang Shuiqing again: "When they come back later, you can arrange some easy tasks for them in the afternoon so that they have something to do;

I know you feel sorry for them because they have lost their loved ones, but it would be a good thing to do something to distract them, as long as they are not too tired. "

Shui Qing nodded, "Okay!"

This amounts to a diversion of attention.

After Li Dani and the other five people walked around carefully, they found that the new owner's place was really nice!

It is an open space at a high place that cannot be washed away by floods or flooded by heavy rains. You are no longer afraid of floods!

There is only one family in the open space of more than ten acres, and the village over there is not far away but separated by a small distance, so that they can look after each other and be separated at the same time.

And they found that the owner was a diligent man. In the morning, they saw almost 100 or [-] old hens in the chicken pen. If they were more diligent, they would dig up earthworms and catch cabbage caterpillars to feed, and they could collect at least more than [-] eggs a day.

When they looked at it just now, they discovered that there were rabbits!

One by one, the fat rabbits were bigger and fatter than the biggest hare they had ever seen before!

I don’t know how the owner raises them, even the rabbits are fatter than those elsewhere.

In addition to small chickens and rabbits, there are also sheep and pigs, and the old sow may have a baby in her belly, which is obviously much bigger.

The vegetable plot was neatly tidied and well taken care of, and the variety of vegetables was more diverse than they had ever seen before - this was Guangning Prefecture after all, not Nanning Prefecture, so it was normal for the varieties to be different.

I heard from Uncle Daniu that during the days of heavy rain, he had been filling his stomach with potatoes given by Master Bai, and it was said that he was full.

The boss has a good relationship with Mr. Bai, and it is possible that Mr. Bai, who travels all over the country to do business, brought the seeds.

In any case, Mr. Bai is a kind-hearted person and chose a good place for them to settle.

The five of them calmed down for a moment and walked back.

After entering the kitchen again, Shui Qing pulled out a bulging cloth bag and said, "They are going on a long journey tomorrow and have to make some dry food to take with them. There are more people and more food will be prepared, so I will trouble you!"

Hearing that there was work to do, it was better to prepare dry food for their family. Li Dani, Zhou Yu and others smiled happily and quickly replied: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all. I can't bear to worry about it, Madam!"

They heard from Mr. Bai that he was transporting potatoes to plant them there. He said that the potatoes had a large yield and were delicious—tastier than black noodles!

You can eat potatoes to fill your stomach on the road, but after all, you haven’t eaten them before. What if you can’t get used to them?

I was originally worried about what to do with dry food on the road, but my wife had already thought about it.

It doesn’t matter that black noodles are not as delicious as potatoes. After all, they are what we have been eating all the time, and we are used to it.

And with such a big bag of black noodles, you can keep your stomach full for every meal!
