happy event

Chapter 50 Someone is more unlucky than her!

Dong Rong nodded, and she agreed, "Well, our orchard is not short of a bowl of rice for the old lady, so let their mother and son come over tomorrow. I will live in the east room for now, so I can be a companion for me." After finishing speaking, She turned to Sister-in-Law Liu, who was pretending to be busy but actually eavesdropping, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you can go home and live tomorrow night, lest you keep scolding the leftover in your dreams!"

Sister-in-law Liu's face turned red when she heard this.It turned out that Goushengzi was the baby name of her man, but Dong Rong didn't know it and thought it belonged to her son.Mei Hua, who had a stomachache from laughing so much, finally stumbled and explained the whole story, and Dong Rong almost hit the wall with laughter.Sister-in-law Liu was so ashamed that she reached out her hand to pinch Meihua's mouth, and threatened her life and death not to tell the story back to the village, otherwise she would be ashamed to see others.

The three women just bathed in the fiery sunset light and laughed, and the laughter was carried far away by the mountain wind, causing a group of egrets sleeping on the locust tree to raise their heads and cry endlessly in protest...

Zhao Qingshan brought a group of handymen up the mountain to deliver the tools, seeing the three women laughing together, he retreated to the side.When Dong Rong saw it, she hurriedly straightened her clothes and hair, and then stepped forward to ask a few words and let everyone disperse.

Taking advantage of the busy time of the crowd, a young man with a slightly thin body ran to take out a pottery bowl from a stone gap by the mountain spring, carefully hid it behind him, and wanted to leave quickly.Dong Rong happened to come out of the house, and frowned when she saw the young man's sneaky appearance.

She felt that she treated these handymen very well on weekdays. The wages were generous and the meals were also good. During the few days when she went to dig ponds and mud, she even bought corn wine for everyone to cool off.Employers like her are hard to find in the world, at least they are rare.She doesn't ask the handymen to be grateful to her for this, as long as their conscience is good.But the prerequisite for these is not to touch her bottom line.You can take what I give you.But if I don't give it to you, you must not steal it.

That young man was already guilty, and when he turned his head and saw his boss blocking the way, his hands trembled, and the big pottery bowl fell to the ground with a "bata", and there was no food left in it.

Dong Rong took two steps forward, seeing the scattered slices of cabbage on the ground, her complexion was even worse.But before she could open her mouth, the young man knelt down and begged for mercy loudly, "Master, I will never bring food home again. Please forgive me. I will never dare again. I am full myself. My younger brother is still hungry, I will eat it from now on, and I won’t bring it home anymore..."

Dong Rong saw that his face was pale and he was talking nonsense, most of his annoyance disappeared for a while, and he asked in a low voice, "Did you steal food from the kitchen?"

The young man was stunned, and finally shook his head desperately, "No, I didn't eat it, I kept it, and I put it by the spring water for fear of spoilage..."

Zhao Qingshan and the others also came over at this moment, hearing that the young man couldn't understand for a while, they all became anxious and stepped forward to help talk about Xiang.Only then did Dong Rong figure out that the youngest family had many children, and they often didn’t have enough to eat. He felt sorry for his siblings because he ate and drank in the orchard every day, so he only ate one pancake at noon every day, and saved the rest together with meat dishes. go home.Although not much, it is enough for each of the brothers and sisters to share a few mouthfuls.

Sister-in-law Liu was afraid that Dong Rong would be annoyed, so she stood aside and interceded, "Boss, this Wang family really can't open the pot, and he feels sorry for his younger siblings..."

The more Dong Rong listened, the more sad she felt. She originally thought that she was the most unlucky person in the world.But seeing someone knelt and kowtowed at this moment, just to bring a bowl of food home to support her siblings, she suddenly found herself very happy again.

Not to mention how she enjoyed the blessings in her previous life, even if she married Sha Zhu in this life, the Cao family treated her again and did not make her hungry.Now after such a comparison, I know that she is really blessed and does not know her blessing.

"Get up, don't kneel down for such a trivial matter."

Dong Rong motioned to Zhao Qingshan to help Wang Da up, then turned to look at the handymen and asked, "Do you think of your family when you eat?"

Everyone looked at each other but smiled and refused to answer. In the end, it was Liu Ergou who was from the same village and whispered, "It's rare to see a little oily food at home. Everyone eats well at my boss's every day. The child pestered me to ask what I had for lunch, and I felt a little uncomfortable."

Dong Rong nodded, thought carefully for a moment and said, "Then let's change the rules in the orchard. For lunch, each person will only give four pancakes and a bowl of vegetable soup, and we will cook a meat dish before the work break at night. Everyone can bring a jar , when the time comes, just pack the meat dishes and take them home to eat."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't hide their joy and asked loudly, "Really? Can you really take the meat dishes home?"

Dong Rong nodded, then turned to Sister-in-law Liu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua have to work hard, and they will go home late at night."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work!" Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Hua hurriedly waved their hands, both of them grinning from ear to ear.

Women love their children more than men. Both of them would sigh every day when eating, wishing they could stuff their children up their throats, so that the meat they ate would fall into the children's stomachs.It's all right now, the boss has spoken, and they can take the delicious food home in a fair and honest manner. There is really nothing better than this.

Wang Da was straightforward. Seeing that everyone was smiling, he asked, "Will my boss drive me away?"

Sister-in-law Liu slapped him with a laugh, and said angrily, "You silly boy, my boss is kind-hearted, how could he send you away just because of a bowl of food? On the contrary, everyone should thank you very much!"

Wang Da scratched the back of his head that was hurt by the beating, and stared at the sliced ​​cabbage on the ground with a look of extreme distress.

When Dong Rong saw it, she asked Sister-in-law Liu, "Are there any leftovers and pancakes in the kitchen?"

Sister-in-law Liu nodded quickly, "There are a lot of pancakes posted at noon, and there are still seven or eight pancakes left, but there are no leftovers."

"Let's take it all back to Wang Da. From now on, after dividing the dishes every night, as long as there is any leftover, I will serve him."

"Okay, Master." Sister Liu responded bluntly, and finally teased Wang Da with a smile and scolded, "Hurry up and thank Master, the young ones in your family will be lucky in the future."

Wang Da thought of his younger brothers and sisters who were starving and skinny, so he knelt down for Dong Rong again, "Thank you, thank you."

Dong Rong was not used to people kneeling down to her at every turn, so she hurriedly took two steps away and advised, "Get up quickly, it's just leftovers, it's not worth anything."

Wang Da kowtowed his head three times before he got up, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would repay his kindness in the future.Sister-in-law Liu swiftly wrapped the pancakes and handed them to Wang Da, and looked at Dong Rong with a hint of admiration in her eyes.The boss is really capable, but just a few words can make everyone grateful. In the future, whoever does not work hard, not to mention others, even everyone will bend his spine.

If Dong Rong could hear Sister-in-Law Liu's thoughts, she would probably cry out for being wronged.She is really just soft-hearted, thinking that she can help, she has no intention of winning people's hearts at all.

Not to mention how everyone went home and talked about it, how everyone in the family was happy.It only said that at noon on the second day, Meihua brought her cousin and old aunt up the mountain.The old lady Yu was unexpectedly kind and amiable. Although her face was covered with wrinkles and her eyes were dim, she didn't have the slightest hint of sadness in her expression. Whenever she spoke, she would always smile.Hearing that Meihua introduced that Dong Rong is the owner of the orchard, the old lady immediately brought her son to salute, thanking the owner for not despising her as a drag.

Perhaps it was fate, or maybe it was the old lady who had a pitiful background but was so strong and optimistic that moved Dong Rong. She inexplicably loved this old lady from the bottom of her heart.As soon as he saw the old lady saluting, he hurried forward to help her and said with a smile, "Auntie, don't be polite. There is a lot of carpentry work in the orchard, and you and Master Liu will live here for a long time. I was worried that no one would stay with me On the mountain, it would be best for my aunt to come and accompany me."

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at Dong Rong carefully for a while, and when she laughed again, she added a little more sincerity.Although she is already half-blind, she can tell that this handsome new boss is really a kind and powerful woman, just like what Meihua said.

It happened that Zhao Qingshan took the handymen to take a lunch break, and Dong Rong handed Guisheng over to him, and he instructed the carpenter on the details of the work.

Sister-in-law Liu swiftly brought out a wooden bucket, which was filled with tofu, spinach, and vegetable soup. Meihua also brought out corn pancakes and a large stack of earthenware bowls.The handymen lined up, and each of them brought soup bowls and pancakes, squatted under the tree roots, and started drinking.

The old lady Yu also shared two bowls with her mother and son. Guisheng was hungry. Seeing that his mother refused to move, he asked in a low voice, "Mother, but this soup doesn't suit your appetite?"

The old lady Yu squinted her eyes and shook her head, sighing, "Son, you see, the slick oil on this bowl of soup is enough for ordinary people to cook in a pot. This owner must be kind and generous. You will be careful in the future." Do the work, don't be sorry for the kindness of the boss."

Gui Sheng was so hungry that his intestines were cramping, but he still respectfully responded to his old lady's words, and then he began to eat and drink.The couple originally thought that their lunch was already rich, but when they were about to leave work in the evening, the handymen each filled a large bowl of stewed pork with cabbage in jars, and then went down the mountain with a smile on their faces.

The old lady took Plum Blossoms to inquire clearly, and finally chanted Amitabha Buddha repeatedly, and said that God was merciful and let their mothers fall into the pit of fortune.

Standing on the big rock, Dong Rong looked at the orchard that changed almost every day, and she was in a great mood.Seeing that everyone was going down the mountain, he turned around and went into the stove to fry another diced cucumber and steamed rice in a small pottery pot.

Old Madam Yu was chasing Meihua and Sister-in-law Liu home early, leaving the bowls and chopsticks for her to wash.When Dong Rong came out and heard this, she helped her to sit down and laughed, "Ma'am, why do you steal their work and leave your own work instead?"

The old lady stood up and asked in a daze, "Master, what kind of work will you give me? The sun hasn't set yet, so there's still time..."

Dong Rong put a large bowl of rice in front of the old lady with a smile, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, your job is to eat and chat with me."

Mei Hua was still intent on eavesdropping, but now she laughed and said, "Auntie, your job is really good, why don't we change it?"
