Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 576 Hoarding in the Cave
Liu Ya saw that Xu Chenming had something to say, so she asked directly: "If there is anything else, please tell me straight up. Since our family uses you as a worker, we trust you very much, so don't be cautious. Do you have any requirements?" You can also bring it up."

Xu Chenming waved his hands again and again after hearing this, and said: "No, Miss Liu, you misunderstood me. I don't have any other requests. I just want to ask Miss Liu to go to the town and talk to my master if she is free, and say that I am indeed with you. I work here. When I came out with the tools today, the master didn’t believe me, and scolded me for following other masters outside. Miss Liu, you don’t know, those of us who learn crafts, the most taboo thing is to disrespect the master , secretly ran to learn from other masters."

Liu Ya understands that Xu Chenming's master is also old-fashioned. She feels that the apprentices she teaches must greet him in everything, and even the style of work must not deviate. That's why she always thinks that Xu Chenming's work not good.Moreover, Xu Chenming also said that his master forbade him to be a teacher, and he had to agree with his master even to do his own work.

Liu Ya admitted that she had indeed overlooked this point, and did not go to his master to discuss this matter properly.And Xu Chenming has been running back and forth by himself all this time, which is indeed a little neglect of his master.

Liu Ya said: "I was negligent about this matter. I originally planned to let you talk about it before the official start of work. But I have been busy, and I really forgot about this matter. I didn't think about it. How about it, It's been raining for the past few days, so it's inconvenient for me to go out. I'll send my younger brother to Guyushu Town on the first day of next month, and when I come back, I'll drop by your master, okay?"

Xu Chenming immediately nodded and said: "It's okay. Actually, I have been with Master for so many years, and Master has only taught me one apprentice. He still hopes that I will be fine. As long as Master doesn't misunderstand me, it will be fine. Miss Liu, when will you stop by?" Just go and say it."

Liu Ya nodded, and asked again: "Then when I go, can I give half of your wages to you? Is it okay to teach it to your master directly? Do you have any opinions? The remaining half will wait until you finish the work. give it to you."

The reason why Liu Ya said this was to convince Xu Chenming's master.After all, it's easy to find someone to pretend to be the owner; but the owner really gave the money, which proves that Xu Chenming is not lying.

Hearing what Liu Ya said, Xu Chenming thanked her again and again: "Miss Liu is thoughtful, that's how I feel, I'm really embarrassed. You just get paid when you start work, there is no such rule."

Liu Ya said: "It's okay, you just need to work hard. If you don't do well, the remaining wages will be deducted."

"No problem, that's the reason. I didn't do well, Miss Liu, you can tell me right away, and I can change it right away. If it really caused a loss, or if I wasted too much wood, Miss Liu, you can take care of me. It was deducted from the wages." Xu Chenming said so, it is really true.

Liu Ya has no other questions, even if this matter is settled.

Xu Chenming thanked him again and again before he was ready to go out, and it seemed that he was really in a hurry to go back.Otherwise, it will be really late if you delay any longer, and it is really inconvenient to drive at night on a rainy day.

But when he reached the door, Xu Chenming looked back again, and then said guiltily: "Miss Liu, your eldest sister's injury..."

Liu Ya said: "It's okay, I said that the elder sister is not such a delicate person, let alone a stingy person. She also knows that you stopped her out of kindness, this is an accident."

"That's good. Thank you for your generosity, Miss Liu, please apologize for me." After Xu Chenming finished speaking, he went out to get in the car.

After Xu Chenming left, Liu Ya closed the courtyard door and entered the kitchen.Xiao Shu'er was already sitting at the table and eating steamed buns.Seeing Liu Ya come in, he said: "Second sister, I'm really hungry, I'll eat two mouthfuls of steamed buns first."

"Well, it's okay, you can eat. This lunch will be postponed until dinner time." Liu Ya said, washed her hands and sat at the table, and asked Liu Xuer while picking up vegetables for Xiao Shuer: " Sister, is your hand feeling better? When Xu Chenming left, he apologized repeatedly."

After hearing this, Liu Xu'er also looked at the back of her hand.She washed her hands before serving the meal just now, and the wound was slightly red with some water, but the blood did not flow anymore.He said: "It's okay, it's just a small injury, just scratched the skin."

Liu Ya still warned: "Eldest sister, try to keep your hands from getting wet as little as possible, so that you don't really get scars."

"Yes." Liu Xu'er agreed, and handed Liu Ya a steamed bun, and the three siblings ate it.

The rain outside continued for another day and night, and it stopped for a long time. Before the sun came out, another cloud floated in, and another heavy rain fell.

The thatched cottage of the Liu family has already started to seep in some places. If Master Gu hadn't helped to repair some places that were too damaged, and Siping had helped spread a layer of thatch on the roof, it probably wouldn't last for so many days. It's time to drip water everywhere.However, a new house has been built on the other side, and there is no need for this house to be repaired.After the rain, Xu Chenming will move out after finishing the furniture.

In such weather, neither the new house nor the small water shop can start work.Chunniu and Siping still go there every day, because the guests who often pass by have to have lunch before leaving, especially on rainy days, the guests want to rest their feet, so they have been persisting in the rain.

Liu Ya didn't go to Xiaoshuipu to help, but took Xiao Shu'er to the mountain to have a look when the rain subsided.Xiao Shu'er led Liu Ya to see the cave he found later.

Liu Ya really didn't expect that Xiao Shu'er was unexpectedly capable.This later cave was more than double the size of the one they found before, and now the fruit trees and firewood inside were almost full.Only one aisle was left in the middle, with bundled firewood on either side.

And the little tree is very careful, the big pieces of firewood are bundled and placed on the left, and the thinner branches are placed on the right.According to Xiaoshu'er himself, the price of firewood varies depending on the size, of course the larger ones are more expensive, while the smaller ones are cheaper.

After seeing it, Liu Ya couldn't help being surprised and said: "Little Shu'er, are you going to cut down all the fruit trees on this mountain?"

"How can there be. Our place is called Pingshan Village, and there are big mountains in the front, back, left, and right sides. In the mountains, besides jujube wood, there are sorrel trees, and there are large pieces of them growing there. If I cut them all, the whole mountain will be bald. But second sister, you see Which side of the mountain is bald?"

Xiao Shu'er's words were quite amusing, so Liu Ya laughed along with her.He asked him again: "Then tell me, the fruit trees on the mountain have been rained for so many days, can they no longer be used as firewood?"
