Chapter 273 Right and Wrong
In other words, discipline is okay, but it doesn’t have to be so harsh.
Guanshi Guo suddenly felt relieved, "Don't worry, Madam Xia, I have a sense of discretion."
"Well, go ahead."
After handling the matter of spring flowers, Xia Mingyue Looking at Zhuang Cui again, "What are Madam Zhuang's plans for the future?"
Zhuang Cui raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his face a little confused.
To be honest, she doesn’t know.
While escaping from famine, she tried to find work to support herself.
But she had been on the run for a long time, and her clothes were as ragged as a beggar. Many people drove her away with disgust just by looking at her, without any thought of using her.
Even if there are one or two occasionally, they are evil people with hypocritical faces, trying to coax them into their homes or sell them to others.
Fortunately, Zhuang Cui was good at it and escaped, but because of this incident, she did not dare to look for work at will.
Plans are nothing more than taking one step at a time. No one knows how long she can go.
"I think Mrs. Zhuang is very skilled and knows how to repay kindness. She is a useful person." "I wonder if Madam Zhuang is interested in working with me?"
"The deed of sale can be signed as a living deed. When Madam Zhuang saves enough money and wants to leave, she can redeem the deed of sale from me." , the monthly salary is tentatively set at five hundred dollars, is Mrs. Zhuang willing?"
Zhuang Cui paused.
She didn't expect that Xia Mingyue wanted her to stay by his side to do work.
Xia Mingyue seems to have a very kind face. During the past two days in the orchard, Chunhua often mentioned Xia Mingyue, the new owner of the orchard, and she treated them quite kindly...
Ms. Xia, she will probably be a good host.
And now, she also urgently needs to consider the issue of survival.
After all, only by surviving can you take revenge...
Zhuang Cui thought quickly, then cupped her hands to Xia Mingyue and knelt down on one knee, "Thanks to Lady Xia for never giving up, Zhuang Cui will definitely do her best for Lady Xia."
"With your words, I feel relieved." Xia Mingyue reached out and helped Zhuang Cui up.
Then he called the woman working in the orchard and ordered her to take Zhuang Cui to wash up and put on clean clothes.
Here, Guo Kanglai is teaching Chunhua about her secret hiding of Zhuang Cui in the orchard.
Chunhua knew her mistake, lowered her head and did not dare to say a word. When faced with Guo Kanglai's questioning, she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying yes again and again.
Guo Kang spoke for a long time, and when he saw Chunhua acting like this, he became more and more serious in his words, "If it were my way of thinking, you would definitely have to be punished this time and have to deduct some of your food rations. But Madam Xia is kind-hearted and only allows me to teach you well." That’s all, I think you’re young, so please don’t speak too harshly.”
“Thank you, Madam Xia.” Chunhua choked, “I’ll go and apologize to Madam Xia later.”< br>
"Yes." Guo Kanglai nodded and asked Chunhua to wash her face first.
The wind is strong in spring, and my face is full of tears. When the wind blows, it is easy to get chapped or even crack.
Chunhua agreed and went to go, but after taking two steps, she turned back, her face full of worry, "Uncle Kanglai, you said..."
"You don't have to be afraid, Madam Xia won't make things too difficult for you." Guo Kang came to comfort him. "No, I just want to ask if Madam Xia won't embarrass Sister Zhuang." Chunhua asked worriedly.
Guo Kanglai, "..."
It's now, not thinking about herself, but still thinking about the person she rescued?
I really don’t know what to say.
When Guo Kanglai told Chunhua that Xia Mingyue wanted Zhuang Cui, who was very skilled, to work with her, Chunhua was surprised at first, and then smiled so hard that she almost jumped up, "That's great, Zhuang Cui. My sister has a place to go.”
Not only does she have a place to go, but she is also working with the very kind Madam Xia, and she will definitely live a good life in the future.
At least, you can have enough food and clothing!
Chunhua was sincerely happy for Zhuang Cui, and even tears of excitement rolled down the corners of her eyes, and she stretched out her hand to wipe them away.
Seeing this, Guo Kanglai choked up again.
It has to be said that Chunhua is a too simple and kind-hearted child. In the eyes of adults, such a person seems too naive and ignorant, and they always feel that sooner or later they will encounter someone who will retaliate for kindness.
But then again, if everyone has no kindness, the world will become too cold...
Zhuang Cui quickly took a bath and changed The clothes are ready and the hair is combed.
Without the dirt on her face, Zhuang Cui's true face is revealed. She is a girl with regular features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of heroic spirit. The clothes on her body are loose but short, which further accentuates Zhuang Cui's slender figure and broad frame.
With such a figure, after being raised for a period of time, and coupled with his agility, he will definitely be able to take on the task of protecting the house and Xia Mingyue's own safety.
Xia Mingyue was very satisfied with Zhuang Cui and took her back with her when she left the manor.
After arriving home, Xia Mingyue arranged for Zhuang Cui and Jiang Zhuguo to live in the same house.
Jiang Zhuguo welcomed the new member of the family very much and hurriedly packed up another kang in the room and put a new mattress and sheets on it.
Nowadays, families are affluent, and mattresses are all made of cotton, which is soft and warm.
“This is a wooden basin for washing your face, and this is a wooden basin for washing your feet. Here are towels, soap locust, ointment for wiping your face, and this one for wiping your hands.”< br>
Jiang Zhuguo introduced them to Zhuang Cui one by one, "These jars contain dried fruits that Sister Xia made in her spare time, as well as melon seeds and other snacks. They can be eaten at any time."
"Xia Sister told me that I will take you to make some clothes for you when I finish my work tomorrow morning, and buy a few pairs of shoes and daily necessities. If you have any special requirements, just tell me directly. Sister Xia said that as long as it is reasonable, it will be accepted. I can be satisfied.”
Jiang Zhuguo is naturally kind and lovable, and her tone of voice is gentle and brisk, which makes people feel like a spring breeze and feels close to her.
Zhuang Cui's original sense of restraint was much lessened. He took the candy Jiang Zhuguo put into his hand and began to eat it slowly.
The sugar is winter melon sugar. Fresh winter melon is peeled and cut into long strips, then soaked in lime water, then salted and boiled with granulated sugar. It only boils until all the winter melon strips are filled with sand and sugar granules. Then it can be sealed in a jar and stored for a long time.
Winter melon candy is sweet and full of fragrance. It tastes more refreshing than caramel candy, but it is still sweet.
With sweetness in your mouth, your mood will naturally feel much better.
Zhuang Cui sat by the kang, chatting about home affairs with Jiang Zhuguo, who was smiling crookedly.
"Seeing as Zhuguo is still young, did he also sign a selling contract with Madam Xia?" Zhuang Cui asked.
"No, I am the guy hired by Sister Xia." Jiang Zhuguo replied with a smile.
"Then you live and eat at Madam Xia's place. How often do you go home? Who else is at home?"
"I don't have a home." Jiang Zhuguo said, "This is my home."< br>
