"Hey! What are you eating?" The outgoing little fat boy didn't seem to be disgusted.

There were so many people who tried to please him on weekdays, but when he saw Xie Xian today, he somehow developed a sense of closeness to her, and before he knew it, he had already followed her into the kitchen.

The layout of the kitchen of the orphanage is similar to that of the dining room of Shuzitang next door. The wooden table is wide and long, and the benches next to it have been finely polished.

Each child had his or her own wooden bowl with his or her name carved crookedly on it.

The children lined up with their own bowls to get food. Xie Xian did not say anything and just sat at the head of the table.

Today's portion is steamed bread, egg and vegetable dumplings, and stir-fried bean sprouts. She nodded. Although the new cook is a little older, she can cook well after a few days of training.

In order to take care of Xie Xian who had a stutter, she brought out her only thin pot. The two cooks worked very hard on the new recipes. Once the kindergarten becomes profitable, they will consider teaching other things.

Although there was a wall between the orphanage and Shuzitang, the doors could not touch each other. Seeing Yudan glance over there involuntarily, Xie Xian seemed to be thinking about something.

"Serve only as much as you can eat. Don't hide food or waste it. Supervise each other to wash the dishes. If you don't wash them clean, you won't have anything to eat next time." The cook was a good-natured woman. She looked at the children with smiles on their faces. Although she spoke harshly, her hands were very gentle.

Cui Can, it was the first time to see so many people eating together, he looked around and felt his mouth watering. His clothes were made of extraordinary material, and the other children did not dare to talk to him.

He raised his head and glanced at Yudan, who was eating in small bites. He couldn't stop eating, so he moved closer to Xie Xian.

Degui, who was following behind, really wanted to cover his face. His little master had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but he was still greedy after entering the cafeteria.

The second wife was also strange. She had never seen many masters and servants eating at the same table. But then she thought about her husband, who had no one to eat with in the past few days. Wasn't he lonely?

Xie Xian took two bites, and couldn't ignore the burning gaze next to her, so she handed over a vegetable steamed bread, and said with a look, "Do you want to eat it?"

Cui Can blushed a little. Since you invited me sincerely, let me try it for you.

Xie Xian curled the corners of her mouth slightly and withdrew her hand: "Those who don't work have no food to eat." Facing Xiao Dunzi's eager eyes, she stuffed the last vegetable steamed bun into her mouth.

Qingdai turned around and saw that her lady's temper was getting worse.

Cui Can became angry when he saw that the steamed bread he had liked had gone into someone else's stomach. He was so angry that his eyes were watering and he looked like tears were about to fall out.

Xie Xian was afraid that he would really cry, so she could only coax him: "If you want to eat here, you have to go pick up stones with them in the afternoon."

Cui Can nodded hurriedly. He felt that the lost and recovered vegetable steamed bread was delicious, but he always felt that something was wrong.

I mumbled, "Let's go." Although the food didn't taste good, I still wanted to eat it.

Degui twitched his lips, leaned over and whispered: "Sanlang, it's almost time for dinner, why don't we go and see the aunt." He should have stopped him just now. This was the first time that his young master had been humiliated since he came to the Xie family.

"I want to eat here." The little kid puffed up his chubby face and chewed the vegetable steamed bread fiercely, as if he wanted to swallow all the grievances he had suffered.

Qingdai received the look and retreated silently, but her shoulders kept shaking as she served food to Cui Xiaolangjun.

Degui knew her husband's stubborn character very well, so she had to retreat.

He continued to guard the door. His young master was so angry today that he ate a few more bites than usual and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

My little boy didn't want to go out to play today, but he saw many kids picking up stones and mud from afar, so he came here unconsciously.

I was a little disappointed that I couldn't play with orphans. I didn't expect to meet the second wife. Although she is not as difficult to approach as rumored, her personality...

After the meal it was time for the daily lunch break. Xie Xian habitually copied the schedule from her previous life back to the orphanage.

This puzzled Qingdai. In her opinion, her own queen was a little strange. If she wanted to be good to the children, why did she make them do the work?

My mistress always assigns some unnecessary tasks to these children, but she is not careful and strict.

In her previous life, Xie Xian worked as a trainee teacher in a kindergarten for three years. She knew too well how destructive energetic children could be.

Now there are only two maids hired. Not only do they have to look after more than a dozen children, but they also have to do some chores. Fortunately, there are older girls to help, otherwise they would not be able to take care of it.

After dinner, Degui took Cui Xiaolang back home. Xie Xian's daily routine was fixed. After dinner, she would take a nap for an hour, and then come back to pick up stones when she woke up.

After dinner, Cui Can obediently went to take a nap.

My mother said that people should be honest. Since I have agreed to work to pay for my meals, I should be a trustworthy person.

Xie Xian returned to the inkstone washing pond to check the progress of the project, and polished and marked the sizes and parts of some basic materials, such as the seesaw, swings, children's climbing frames, sand pits, etc., as well as various stone and wood materials.

The craftsmen were amazed by the second wife's creative ideas, and just by looking at them, they wanted their own children to play with them.

Xie Xian understood what they meant, but she just waited until it was done.

Without making any promises, it all depends on whether the amusement park can bring her actual economic benefits.

She didn't actually use this community square as a regular business, she just thought it would give everyone a place to relax. There were gardens in the clan land, but they were all private gardens of each branch and were not easily accessible. However, the location of Xie Xian's second branch was very suitable for a community park.

She didn't have the spare money to build a house, so she could only cut the Gordian knot and build a garden to cover up the fact that she had no money.

In the distant library, the old man bent down respectfully to make tea. The old man by the window frowned as he watched the noise below, curled his lips, and said coldly, "I don't know who this temper comes from."

The old man just replied slowly, "The second young master was also a playful kid when he was young."

Seeing the impatient look of the master, he glanced away and continued to make tea peacefully. He complained in his heart: I don't know who has occupied it for almost an hour. Then he couldn't help asking, "When will the master meet Madam Xian?"

The old man pulled his gray beard and replied absentmindedly: "It's not time yet." Then he continued to look down without blinking.

Xie Qiyan and Fei Wen waited until the get out of class was over and walked out of the Shuzitang. They had been looking at this big toy yesterday and were eager to try it out.

The two half-grown boys were having fun, and they were eager to try something new. Now that they had finally caught the culprit, how could they let him go easily?

"Madam Xian! What are those drawings you gave me?" Fei Wen was curious. He and Xie Qiyan guessed for a long time and thought that they might be toys. But he was still a little unsure. Madam Xian, aren't you afraid of being accused of losing your ambition because of toys?

Xie Xian was too lazy to respond: "This thing is not for you to play with."

The two looked at it carefully and realized that the size was obviously for little kids to play with. But they also wanted to play with it, so what should they do?

They are also pitiful on weekdays. They have no entertainment except reading. How can they resist seeing so many things? Just like many adults in the past life used the excuse of buying toys for their babies, but ended up having a lot of fun playing with them?

Xie Xian pursed her lips and smiled: "Want to play? It's not impossible, but..."

Before she finished her words, Fei Wan immediately responded: "Sister, just tell me what you want to say."

Xie Xian was amused to see him being so understanding: "It's not a big deal. But someone needs to keep an eye on this yard from time to time."

She didn't want to stay here every day, and she had to run to East Street several times. After all, they were close, so she could come over and take a look from time to time.

As for the entertainment facilities for dolls, the most important thing is that they are of the right size, the wooden surface should be smooth and without hair color, and they don’t need to be exquisitely carved, but they must be safe.

The two boys nodded, suppressing their excitement. This was their first time to receive an assignment, and although it was not a serious one, they would definitely be able to do it well.

Looking up, I saw a fair-skinned boy standing out among the yellow-faced and skinny kids not far away. He was carrying palm-sized pebbles here one by one with his bare hands.

He had a happy face and from time to time he chatted with the doll next to him, obviously enjoying himself.

Fei Wen was a little unsure, and took another closer look. Wasn’t that his great-grandmother’s cousin?

Degui stood under the willow tree with a look of despair on his face. It had been two days. As the Cui family's late-born son, he was spoiled by his grandmother and his father-in-law was busy every day and he didn't see him.

When the mistress went to visit her friends, she gave the young man to the aunt to take care of. The aunt was busy with farm affairs these days, so she let the young man wander around the Xie family clan.

My young master is also a person who can't sit still. He is used to being followed by others. When he met the second wife, he was teased.

He actually found some fun in it, and he was having a good time. Degui was worried that if his aunt found out, he would not know how to react. He had not forgotten that the eldest son of the third room had done something dirty with this girl two days ago.

The lady from the second branch of the Xie family did not appear to make things difficult for the young man. She just treated all the children equally. In Degui's opinion, this was either no preferential treatment or neglect.

The young master at home would become more and more courageous after each setback, and the more indulgent the lady was, the more he would get angry.

Cui Can didn't care about all that. Yesterday his aunt complained a few words, saying that this sister was arrogant and had no manners, and asked him to stay away from her. But he knew in his heart what true arrogance looked like.

Just like A Niang said, a person's eyes will never lie.

Xie Xian stared at the sky in a daze with calm eyes. It was true that these naughty kids were no longer afraid of her within two days.

But she really couldn't bear to do it, and was stopped just as she was about to run away.

"Madam, has the monkey you mentioned yesterday been rescued?"

"Yes, yes, we want to know too!" Xiao Yuer felt a little guilty. He was worried about the monkey and was afraid of annoying the queen, so he just tried to stop his brothers and sisters when they came over. But this couldn't stop the kids who wanted to listen to the story. They were pushed to the side in no time and looked at Xie Xian, scratching his head and laughing.

Xie Xian really regretted it. After finishing the meal, she was two steps behind and was stopped by Cui Can. Then things got out of control. The two cooks also came over. Looking at the eager eyes in front of her, Xie Xian had to turn around and sit down: "Where was I talking about yesterday?"

"The monkey was crushed under the mountain." Yudan answered without thinking.

"Oh, then later on, the monkey was released by his master and accompanied him on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures." Xie Xian wanted to be lazy.

"Where are you going to get the scriptures?"

"Western Heaven"

"What sutras are there in the western sky?"

Xie Xian held her forehead with her hand, knowing that the story of the monkey would not end so easily.

This scene reminded her of the time when she was a child, working in the compound, adjusting the antenna length of a black and white TV, but after she grew up.

The story of Journey to the West has become like this.

The Buddha Tathagata wanted to compete with Taoism, so he sent Tang Monk and his disciples to the East with thousands of scriptures to preach.

He slew demons and monsters along the way and made countless contributions, but when he was about to reach the Tang Dynasty in the East, the Dragon King of Jinghe River was convicted for protecting the aquatic creatures, and the little white dragon was punished and imprisoned in Yingchoujian for saving him.

Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie lived in seclusion in the Liusha River and Gao Village respectively, while Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years because he was accused of killing too many people.

Tang Monk, in his mortal body, walked to Chang'an alone, insisted on completing his mission of preaching, and died alone.

Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong came out from under the Five Elements Mountain, made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, and attacked the Lingxiao Palace. The Jade Emperor and Tathagata made peace and invited Sun Wukong's good brothers, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, to come out. Sun Wukong was unwilling to make things difficult for his own people in front of the battlefield, so he abandoned his magic power, lived in seclusion in Huaguo Mountain, and finally turned into stone, no longer asking about the affairs of heaven and earth.
