Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 229 A Serious Scholar
Hearing this, Xu Liyun smiled and scooped a bowl of fragrant mushroom soup for her daughter. She answered with a gentle look, "It's not easy to find a housekeeper. Do you want someone to manage the daily life of the villa or to take care of the affairs of the store? In fact, we are short of manpower on both sides. We often lose sight of one while focusing on the other. We really need a capable housekeeper to help us."
The Zhang family's past experience in purchasing servants has made them familiar with such transactions, although the social reality behind it is not so bright.
"Why don't we buy one each, one to take charge of the villa and one to take charge of the store, so that the division of labor is clear.
We will go and take a look tomorrow. If we find a suitable candidate, we will bring him back immediately. If not, there is no need to rush and we can take our time."
Zhang Laoer's words revealed a calm and wise attitude.
"Dad, aren't you coming with us?"
Xiao Youniang asked curiously.
"No, I have to accompany your grandfather to deliver this batch of soap to the Hu Mansion tomorrow, and then we have to welcome Master Zhao's decoration team. The construction of our new villa cannot be delayed. In addition, there are many things going on in the villa recently, so I have to stay and take care of it."
Zhang Laoer explained, his eyes full of anticipation for the family's future.
After dinner, the lights dimmed and the servants began to busy themselves with packing the clothes one by one.
The exquisite women's clothing was carefully placed in the little yellow car, while the handsome men's clothing was placed in the little black car. Every piece of clothing carries their persistence and pursuit of quality.
As night fell, Zhang Laoer first escorted his wife and children to Jinxiu Pavilion, while he turned around and accompanied Grandpa Zhang to Jinxiu Pavilion to begin a night of inventory and reconciliation work.
On the other hand, Zhang Mingyi finished a day's study and immersed himself in the study after dinner. Under the dim candlelight, he devoted himself to writing the story of "Journey to the West" in his mind.
Tan Yulin chose to stay with his friends and simply informed his family that he would be staying here temporarily in the near future. This decision was understood and supported by Mr. Yu, and it also demonstrated his cherishment of friendship and his small attempt at independent living in the future.
When Xiao Youniang gently knocked on Zhang Mingyi's door, she unexpectedly found Tan Yulin sitting at the desk seriously, reviewing the manuscript in his hand.
A trace of surprise flashed across her face, and she couldn't help but joked: "Hey, Tan Yulin, it's almost dark, why don't you go home?"
Tan Yulin bowed politely, with a bit of sincerity in his tone: "Second sister, I am Mingyi's good friend Tan Yulin, please take care of me in the future. I have discussed with my parents at home. I will live here during non-holidays and study and live together. My father also agreed to provide thirty taels of silver per month as food and accommodation for the two of us."
Xiao Youniang couldn't help but secretly examine the young man, wondering in her heart: Does this young man have any special ideas?
Are you willing to live with your younger brother and eat at the same table with him every day?
Zhang Mingyi's eyes did not escape her expression. He knew his second sister's temper, so he gently patted the manuscript in his hand and said with a smile: "Little Youniang, what are you thinking about? Yulin is my good friend. He likes to listen to my fantasy stories. He is willing to pay for board and lodging. Thirty taels of silver is enough for us to sell a lot of wolf tooth potatoes."
After hearing this, Xiao Youniang laughed heartily and then half-jokingly and half-seriously held out her hand: "Okay, what about the money? Don't tell me you want to keep it all for yourself. You have to give me half."
Zhang Ming smiled and tapped the back of her hand with a book, his eyes full of cunning: "With the adults at home, how can this be kept secret? Don't worry, I will tell my parents, and they will naturally take care of the money."
Xiao Youniang waved her hands and said in a disappointed tone, "Oh, it's really boring. Forget it. I'm leaving. Zhang Mingyi, I find that you are not as interesting as before after you went to school. You are more like those serious scholars."
Ever since Tan Yulin moved into the Zhang family, the originally spacious backyard seemed to become more compact, with more people, and more liveliness and warmth.
As the night deepened, Xu Liyun lay on the bed, facing Zhang Laoer who was already fast asleep and snoring softly, and whispered, "Lao Zhang, why don't we let Xia Yue go back to the store? The children need hot meals after school. Ah Fu and Ah Wang are always the busiest in the evening, when students often come to pick out clothes. If we wait until they are done cooking, the children will starve."
Although Zhang Laoer had already fallen asleep, he still responded in a daze: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Huhu..."
On a new day, at dawn, Zhang Lao Er and Grandpa Zhang shouldered the heavy responsibility and set off for Hu Mansion, carrying two thousand carefully prepared bars of scented soap and two thousand bars of soap.
At the same time, Zhang Mingyi and Tan Yulin had already headed to the college in the morning light and started a new day of study.
Xu Liyun told her two daughters about last night's arrangement at the breakfast table. When Xiao Youniang heard it, she immediately objected, "How can this be allowed? It's fine for others to stay, but Xia Yue can't. They have food and drink in the academy during the day, and they can just find someone to cook at night. Why does it have to be Xia Yue?"
Her words revealed her care and protection for her family, and also reflected the inseparable warmth within the family.
After years of training, Xia Yue's cooking skills have reached perfection, and each dish can accurately capture the taste buds of Xiao Youniang.
Without the delicacies cooked by Xia Yue, even the delicacies from land and sea would be tasteless to Xiao You Niang and she would have no interest in eating them.
"In this family, it's really hard to decide who can stay to replace Xia Yue. Chun Hua and the others are busy sewing in the workshop, rushing to make clothes for the next season. How can they spare anyone to help with the housework?"
As Xu Liyun spoke, she combed her hair carefully. Her long black hair was gradually tied into an elegant bun with her skillful hands. She was thinking about all the matters she would have to deal with when she went to the pawnshop to select servants.
Zhang Wuya knew very well that her sister Xiao Youniang's dependence on Xia Yue was not only limited to her excellent cooking skills, but also because of Xia Yue's usual thoughtfulness and understanding. She could always chat and laugh with everyone in her spare time, warming everyone's hearts.
She suggested, "Mom, why don't you bring Shang Xiaoyuan and Ah Cai to live here? Ah Cai can learn cooking skills. After all, she is young and learns things quickly. Although Xiaoyuan is young, she is sensible enough. She can start by helping to light the fire. When she grows up, she can also help sell clothes in the store."
When Xiao Youniang heard this suggestion, she nodded her head vigorously in agreement, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "I completely agree with Big Sister's idea.
They really can’t help much at the villa, and coming here may help them better integrate into our lives and get more learning opportunities.”
Xu Liyun put on the last exquisite pearl hairpin, stood in front of the bronze mirror, turned it gently, and looked at her outfit.
She sighed and said, "This arrangement is not bad, but the accommodation conditions in the backyard will probably be even tighter."
