The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 113 The Gift

Seeing that Steward Tang was leaving, Lizheng wanted to persuade him to stay, so he glanced at Hongji. There was no way for their family to entertain guests like Steward Tang, so he could only politely say:

"Here... Butler Tang, why don't you have a light meal at our house?"

"No, don't bother. It's convenient for us to go to town for dinner. Don't worry about Laurie, so you can persuade them well."

Butler Tang patted Lizheng on the arm.

What else can Li Zheng say?Can only watch the guests go.

When Hongji saw Steward Tang leave, he followed with his daughter in one arm, thinking about a lot of family matters, he had to prepare the wood delivered today.

Tang Butler said to Hongji on the way back to Ye's yard:
"Little Boss, I originally came here today to ask about honey besides doing things, but now I am going to go back, but I go back empty-handed. It's really hard to explain!"

Hongji looked at his daughter in embarrassment, and he couldn't let others know about his daughter if it was a big deal.

"Tang Butler, I'll ask my friends when I have time! You probably haven't finished eating all the honey in your house, right? Even if it's a gift, it's not too late."

"Okay, then I will entrust this matter to you. I will take two guards back first, and leave two guards here to guard the wood."

Steward Tang felt that the wood was so precious, even if it was a small village, there was no guarantee that no bandits would catch the wind. Wood is not food, but it is also high-quality wood, and it was collected at a very high price.

"Butler Tang, it's inconvenient to keep guards at our house. After all, we also have girls." Hongji said that having a few strange men in the house would bring trouble to the two younger sisters, and the girl's family was most afraid of gossip.

"Little Boss, you can just let them stay in the thatched house. We couldn't find another place to put the wood." Butler Tang once thought about finding a warehouse in their village.

It's just that their village is too small, so they can't let the guards live in the ancestral hall, right?

"Okay! I hope that the wood factory will be built soon. It's not safe to move the things in my yard. It will be damaged in wind and rain."

"Little boss, you father and son should be able to earn a lot of money by doing carpentry, right? Why don't you build a better house? If it's a typhoon, don't say you are preventing danger, the thatched house will collapse!"

"Well, Housekeeper Tang, you also know that I can't decide the family affairs, and the money is in the hands of my parents."

"Little boss, you can't do this. You can't do this when you become a small boss of a wood factory."

"Well, I also want to save some money. I can't let my mother and father know about the accounts at the wood factory in the future, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

"Of course, at that time, another accountant will be hired, and there will be guards guarding there. Stealing is illegal. At that time, this rule will be written and all workers will be informed."

"Well, that's a good idea. I don't know how to manage, so I'll trouble the housekeeper for these things."

"If there is any trouble, don't bother. The two of us cooperate and are on the same boat. We will get better in the future. With money, we can do many things well."

"hope so!"

They came to Ye's yard, and the guards had already moved the wood to the thatched house.

The butler asked Xie Xie to keep two of them here by lottery. They will be on duty in turn, and they must guard here regardless of day or night.

"Tang Butler, the two of them will work very hard regardless of day and night. There is no place to sleep here, and the evening shift has no place to sleep during the day. It will be very hard for a day or two for a long time."

"Well, this statement is also correct, then keep two night shifts and replace them with two tomorrow, so that they can go to the town to buy food, and there is no need to bother you to cook for them. "

"It's not impossible to eat at our house, it's just that we have a rough meal."

"Don't worry, Xiaodong. They are members of the Tang family, and all their food and supplies will be bought from the Tang family. Your family is already complicated enough. It is already troublesome for them to live here. Let them take care of their own food!"

Hongji could only nod his head when he heard Butler Tang's words. The dishes they ate were so vegetarian that others might not be used to them. It would be embarrassing for his doll to cook more meals for adults.

There were already some guards who wanted to stay here before, and now there is a suggestion to let them take shifts. Of course they are all willing. Tang Butler told them that they will pay more.

After Tang Butler made the arrangements, he asked two guards and two carriages to go back to the county town together, and he got on the horse and rode.

After Tang Butler and his party left, Hongji saw the wood into sections, and he had to do it according to the specifications of the wood to be made.

The broken wood can't be wasted, he thought it could be made into smaller toys.

These good woods are hard to come by, Hongji started to draw lines, and the two guards who stayed here were very discerning, helping Hongji when he was drawing wood and sawing wood.

Da Ya and her two younger sisters, who had gone to the fields, had just entered their yard when they saw many strangers and a lot of wood for the thatched house.

There was no smoke in the kitchen, and the three sisters knew that if they didn't cook, their father who was working could only go hungry.

It was only at this moment that Mrs. Lai remembered that Tang Butler just said that when he came back to deliver the gift, this person just left?

Unwilling to lose the gift she wanted, she went to the thatched cottage and asked the two guards who were helping with the work.

"Hey, young man, your housekeeper doesn't care what you say, why did you just leave the gift like this?"

"Ma'am, then you have to ask the butler. Why didn't you ask him when the butler came back just now? We don't know anything."

"Do you have money on you? Do you have money to buy in the town?"

"No way, ma'am, we don't have much money on us, what we have is the meal money given by the housekeeper. We can't eat and live here with you!"

"It's okay for you to give the food expenses to the aunt. What do you eat when we eat?" Lai's eyes rolled and he had another idea to make money. Anyway, she is not the one who cooks, and there is no shortage of rice in the kitchen at home.

As for buying vegetables and the like, you can just buy some green vegetables, so that you can make some money.

Lai's family has been buried in the money pit, and even the guards who don't want to trouble their family here count it in.

"Mother, how can they get used to the rough tea and light meals at home, and there are no dishes? Let's listen to Butler Tang's arrangements for how they eat!"

Hongji used his brain to understand what his mother was thinking. Neither the mother nor the two younger sisters went into the kitchen to cook. The three children had just returned from the fields and had to cook again. He felt distressed as a father.

"Ma'am, we're hungry and we don't have time to chat with you. Let's go eat first."

The two guards slipped away very quickly, and led their horses out to get on the horses and walk quickly.

"young people……"

Lai couldn't stop him, he could only watch Yinzi fly away, stomped his fat feet on the ground a few times, and covered his chest with his hands to feel the pain in his heart.
