Chapter 10873
Yang Huazhong waved his hand without thinking: "We don't want it here!"
"First of all, my age and body are younger and better than your uncle,"
< br>"Besides, our yard is only 30% the size of your yard. Standing in the front yard You can see the backyard door at a glance from the door, so it’s not a big deal.”
“Your Luo family is different. The yard is as big as a palace, with a bunch of verandahs, rockeries and pavilions built in it. There are so many trees and flowers, it’s so hard to take care of them.”
This time Yang Huazhong really means what he says and what he does will bear fruit.
Yang Ruoqing mentioned this matter in her mother's kitchen in the morning. Yang Huazhong patted his chest and promised to persuade him to leave the matter to him.
After breakfast, Yang Huazhong came over to Luo's house and said he wanted to catch some fish and pickle them.
So Blacksmith Luo took his tools and went out with Yang Huazhong.
While Yang Ruoqing was having lunch, Wang Cuilian told Yang Ruoqing about Yang Huazhong's persuasion to Blacksmith Luo.
"Uncle Qi and I have thought about it, and we think what your father said makes sense."
"If we had been a few years younger and could have helped more in the past few years, it would have been easier."
“In the past few years, we have all gotten older and our bodies are not as good as before.”
“Your uncle passed out while shoveling snow a few days ago. I’m scared when I think about it these days.”
“Your uncle has figured it out himself. People cannot accept old age. Don’t drag yourself down just to save a few bucks, but you will suffer even greater losses.”
"So your uncle asked me to tell you that you can arrange the servants, and we will follow you."
Yang Ruoqing was really happy.
So during lunch, Yang Ruoqing discussed it with Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian at the dinner table.
The elders agreed to invite servants and maids to come to the house to take care of the housework, build flowers and trees, and clean the verandahs and courtyards.
Blacksmith Luo said: "I have no other requirements. I only have one thing. Servants and maids do not require clever hands, sharp tongue, and quick mind. These are the second best."
< br>
"Because the servants and wives live with us in a big courtyard every day, character, character is the most important thing!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "What the uncle said is absolutely true."
Living in the same house for a long time The person in the courtyard must have a good character and be loyal to protect the Lord. He cannot be the kind of greedy and selfish person who is capable of doing all kinds of bad things.
Inviting such servants and maids to work at home is to plant a landmine in the home that may explode at any time.
"Auntie, where are you? Do you have any requirements?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
Wang Cuilian thought for a moment, "What your uncle said is what I think too. Character is the most important thing first."
"Secondly, I still hope to find the right kind of person in Shiliba Village. If Talk to outsiders I’m always afraid of being uneasy when buying, after all, they are all new faces.”
Tiejiang Luo also quickly responded to Wang Cuilian’s words: “Yes, it’s best to find someone from the area, an acquaintance, and someone who knows their character. ”
Yes Yang Ruoqing thought about the suggestion of their two elders, then raised her eyes and smiled, and said:
"Looking for someone close to you means hiring someone with money, similar to the kind of person you keep at home as a long-term worker. "The advantage is that you know your roots." We know the basics and know what kind of person the other party is. The disadvantage is that the other party did not do it well. Due to the face of the fellow villagers, we cannot reprimand him face to face. Even if we express dissatisfaction, we still have to choose the words carefully."
"There are even some villagers who follow us to the side. They may be relatives of relatives. If they are neglectful, they may offend a group of people and go out to say that the Luo family treats their servants harshly. It’s very hard to control.”
Obviously you paid for people to come over to do the work, but you can’t scold or beat them. How can you hire a servant?
This is for the ancestors, right?
“What Qing’er said makes sense,” said Wang Cuilian. “We are looking for relatives and friends of relatives and friends to help with the work. The wages are penniless and they have to be entertained well.”
"To put it bluntly behind closed doors, our family pays for people to come and work at home. Even if we are not the kind of harsh host, we are not cowards either. We should follow the rules. What should we do? Otherwise, this is Tang Yazi and Qing'er's hard-earned money, and we will be a loser!"
Tiejiang Luo took a sip of wine and nodded repeatedly.
Originally, he wanted to recommend a few people in the village. Seeing that their families were poor and honest, he wanted to recommend them to Qing'er and let them hire them as servants at home.
Now that I think about it, let’s forget it. It’s enough for Tangyazi and Qing’er to work hard to support themselves as an old couple. There is no reason to support outsiders, so Blacksmith Luo plans to completely delegate power in this matter. Don't cause any trouble to Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, you make the decision on this matter, you make arrangements, and your aunt and I will obey you." Blacksmith Luo put down the empty wine cup and said.
Wang Cuilian also nodded, "Yes, we are old and soft-hearted. Sometimes we do bad things with good intentions, but we don't care about this."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your understanding and support. Regarding hiring servants, I'll find someone for this later."
"I also have a request."
"What do you want me to say. That’s it, a family, why don’t you ask for help?”
“Okay, then I’ll tell you straight,” Yang Ruoqing said, “When the time comes, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a servant bought from outside or Shili. When I am disciplining the servants hired by Bacun and setting rules for them, uncle and aunt should not come out to be peacemakers, okay?”
Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian looked at each other. Both elders were smart people, and they immediately understood Yang Ruoqing's good intentions.
"Don't worry, Qing'er. When the servants come in, your aunt and I will be the old lady and old lady."
"Every day we just eat, drink, have fun, enjoy happiness, and keep company." Grandchildren, do something you like."
"Yes, you are older. Uncle raises fish, I grow some vegetables and feed the chickens, and we don’t care about other things.”
“Your aunt is right,” Blacksmith Luo smiled, “As for the servants at home, we will take care of them. Follow the rules and there are clear rewards and punishments. Qing'er, you are the mistress of the house. We don't care if you make arrangements!"
...
Although the twelfth lunar month is very busy, it is precisely because the twelfth lunar month is busy that Yang Ruoqing needs to find servants to share the burden.
After finishing Laba porridge, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, after breakfast, Yang Ruoqing said to Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian, and then drove the carriage to the town.
I went to town today for two things. One was to hold the year-end meeting at the town restaurant.
After the year-end meeting, we will have a year-end reunion dinner with all the shopkeepers, stewards, chefs, and clerks of Qingshui Town Restaurant.
This year's reunion dinner has another meaning, which is to clear the air for the second brother Yang Yongjin to take over as the shopkeeper of Qingshui Town Restaurant.
The last step, and what everyone is looking forward to, is the distribution of New Year red envelopes.
This is the first thing to do when I go to town today, and the second thing will be done simultaneously.
