Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 35

Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things happen in the world, Yiyou's family wants to be clean, but others don't think so.

Si Ya was like this, when people came and went in Daji, she happened to see Second Sister at the first sight.Seeing her wearing a brand-new gown, standing there counting the money in a lively manner, she suddenly seemed to have swallowed a fly.

For more than a month, she has not been well at all.Full of hope, she entered the county government office, walked through the main courtyard with carved beams and painted buildings, and after extremely high expectations, she was assigned to the dirtiest kitchen, where she was responsible for the most exhausting washing dishes.

In the first few days, she could still see Pei Lang, so when her parents opened up the relationship and wanted to pick her up, she directly refused.It's just that she didn't expect that what she said to her mother at that time was heard by interested people, and it spread all over the back kitchen that afternoon.There are a lot of old women and little maids, and people say that she is wishful thinking to dream of spring and autumn dreams.

Then somehow, several masters in the back house of the county government also learned of this matter.Since then, she has changed from washing the master's dishes to only being responsible for cleaning the servants after eating, and cleaning the spittoon.

Every day, she would be surrounded by bad food and stench. Today, she managed to spend some money and went out with the manager who went out to purchase. Before she could find her parents, she first saw the fourth uncle's family.

She has heard about the trivial matters at home. Although her parents have been cursing grandpa's injustice, she clearly remembers the scene five years ago.At that time, the mother was very kind to the second sister, and even gave her the two silk flowers she liked.In a moment of anger, she tricked her second sister into the deserted courtyard that was said to be haunted.When it was dark, she was afraid, and went to the door with a lantern to call her in a low voice, but there was no one inside.

At that time, she felt guilty for a long time, but now when she hears what happened in the Shen family's ancestral house, she fully understands it.The always bold second sister must have discovered Aunt Liu's handkerchief at that time.Then she endured it for so many years and now speaks out, devastating to her family.

With such a vicious heart, it was in vain for her parents to take care of her for so many years!Her family is gloomy, but they are wearing new clothes and selling buns to make money, how can it be so cheap!
Taking a step forward, she smiled at the middle-aged man at the front: "Manager Chen, we've been hearing that the steamed stuffed buns are delicious all the way. How about we go and try them too?"

"Baozi, what do I think is a good thing, the eyelids are so shallow?"

Siya suppressed her anger: "We can't compare to you for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable. We all work so hard, so it's okay to have some food first. I'm also dissatisfied with you. The vendors at the steamed stuffed bun stall are my fourth uncle's family. He will be happy if you go."

Chen Guanshi took a breath, just in time to smell the tangy fragrance.

"Forget it, I'm used to eating it on weekdays. Let's try something new today. It's a way to give this girl some face."

Si Ya hurriedly nodded and bowed, looked at the second sister from a distance, showing a triumphant smile.

After being reborn, Yiyou has sharp eyes and ears, and when she sees Siya frequently looking here, she feels something is wrong.When they met the leader again, she was one and two older.

"Mother, I'm afraid I'm going to cause trouble."

In a low voice, she quickly explained: "The group of people in the county government never pay for food. I think what Siya means is to bring people to our side."

Mrs. Li was anxious: "What should we do, why don't we close the stall quickly?"

"It's too late, you see they are already walking this way, and they will be there soon."

As soon as the words fell, everyone from the county government also came to the stall.Chen Guanshi stroked his mustache and picked up a bun: "What kind of stuffing is this?"

"Eggplant."

Take a casual bite, looking at the somewhat yellowed buns, the taste is not as rough as imagined.Bite down again, the eggplant and diced meat are mixed together, mixed with a little soup, and it is so hot that it leaves a mouthful of fragrance.

"The taste is not bad, we want this bun." After finishing speaking, he turned around and patted Si Ya on the shoulder: "This time it was a good job."

The boys were all discerning. Seeing Guanshi Chen's words, they rushed forward in a hurry, grabbing a bun each.A group of half-sized children, just when they are hungry, eat one in their mouths and grab another in their hands, and the buns in the basket quickly bottomed out.

The people do not fight with the officials, although the people who lined up to buy buns are regretful.But seeing the identity of the visitor, they all scattered like birds and beasts.For a while, only a few people from the county government were left in front of the lively steamed stuffed bun stall.

"Several officials, you are..."

Mrs. Li was a little anxious, their family earned hard-earned money.Lost the steamed stuffed bun of this episode, yesterday's hard work was wasted.In case they become addicted to eating, they will come like this every episode in the future, will the family still have to live.

"You... go get me a bowl of water."

Yiyou, who was pointed out by Chen Guanshi, didn't move, but looked at Siya who was smiling complacently.

"Master, I'm sorry, but the women's house only sells steamed stuffed buns, and no water is prepared. The fourth sister is also here, and I haven't seen you for a month. You have lost a lot of people, and you seem to be more energetic. The county government is really a support Great place for people."

Si Ya felt extremely uncomfortable after a meal, and when she looked at the more beautiful second sister opposite, she felt as if she had just finished brushing a day's work, disgusting and heartbroken.

"Fourth Uncle, this is Steward Chen. My parents told me that we are a family and we have to take care of each other. When I saw you just now, I begged Steward Chen to bring someone to have a taste."

Steward Chen quickly waved his hands: "Your steamed stuffed bun is really good, and I will come here often when I have time. Of course, we don't eat for free. In the future, we will report my name, Mr. Chen."

Yiyou lowered her eyes, this is the usual method used by Butler Chen.Those who are generally ignorant, seeing that they can catch up with the county government official's house, how can they be reluctant to part with this little thing.

But after a long time, most people will find that the official family is nothing more than that.When it comes time to pay the poll tax, you still have to pay it exactly.In a word, if you do a small business, you don't need any big backing.

"I'm sorry. It's just that the steamed stuffed buns from Minnv's house are a small business. When others come to buy them, they have to pay first before eating the buns. You, poor man..."

Anyone else dare to ask him for money?Chen Guanshi raised his head, just as he was about to get angry, his eyes suddenly stood there.

Look what he saw?This face is even more beautiful than the master's favorite aunt.If he brings this person back, he will definitely not be able to escape from the position of the chief housekeeper in the mansion in the future.

"It's true that I should take the money, but I came out in a hurry today, Mr. Chen, and I didn't bring any money. You, have you brought it, please put it first."

The young man is a fine person, he quickly shook his head when he saw this: "Master Chen, you didn't bring it, how could I bring it."

Chen Guanshi kicked him: "Stinky boy, you are even more stubborn than that iron rooster. See if I will peel your skin when I go back. In this way, you are also familiar with Siya, so why not go back to the county government with me. I will take the steamed stuffed bun Give you the money, and your sisters will have more conversations."

Yiyou is too familiar with this kind of look. If she hadn't climbed up the branches step by step in her previous life, she might have been caught by Chen Guanshi long ago.She didn't know about the twists and turns in the county government office, but if she followed him today, she might have to turn her head around and become a wife tomorrow.

"The daughter of the people has to take care of the stall for her parents. This place is not far from the county government office. If it is convenient, can I send someone back to the house to collect the money?"

Chen Guanshi frowned: "Little girl, you have a lot of ideas. Let's put it this way, our county government will ask for your buns in the future, but you have to pick up the money yourself."

Yiyou bit her lip, he said so clearly, what should he do now.Looking around, there was no sign of Mu Ran patrolling the street.She suddenly remembered that before leaving yesterday, Mu Yu said that today is the anniversary of the death of the two fathers, and they will go to the grave on the side of the mountain to pay respects all day long.

The only acquaintance seems to be hopeless, and today's crisis can only be resolved by oneself.

"Master, the farmer's house is busy..."

Biting her lip to find an excuse, she knew that in front of Guanshi Chen, these were probably useless.Could it be that she did it all over again, avoided entering the mansion as a maidservant, and turned the Erbo's family upside down, but she still had to walk the old path of her previous life?

Just as she was sweating profusely, a hand from behind pulled her shoulder.Looking up, it turned out to be her father.

"father."

"Erya is a girl's family, don't show your face too often. You drink your saliva first, and dad will tell the messenger."

Chen Guanshi shook the fan handed over by his attendant, imitating Pei Zihuan's posture, feeling good about himself.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Could it be that the county government wants you to have steamed stuffed buns? Is this still a thing?"

"Guan Chen is able to take a fancy to this steamed stuffed bun. Our whole family is very lucky. However, the young girl has not reached the age of Ji now. It is really a poor family and helpless to show her face, but it is absolutely inappropriate to collect money at the door. Please see, you should go there , so good?"

Yiyou blocked her words, why didn't she realize that her father was so sharp.Yes, there is no reason for children to collect bills when adults are alive.In terms of emotion and reason, it is appropriate for him to go by himself.

Although Guanshi Chen's purpose is not pure, but with so many people gathered, he can't say clearly: I have a crush on your daughter, and I want to snatch her into the mansion and make her a concubine for the county magistrate, so that I can get promoted and get rich.

He thinks he is not a bully yet, he still wants that face.Now that he was like this, he really didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Si Ya stood at the back, her usually impulsive mind was exceptionally bright now.Mother once said that Sister Erya is good-looking, and if she becomes a child for a rich family, their family will benefit.Now Guanshi Chen also meant the same thing. Didn't that mother's plan turn a corner and return to the right track.

She wants to make it all happen.

Before Yiyou could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a smell of rancidity, and he took her arm with one hand: "Sister Erya, don't be so cynical. Manager Chen, it's Erya's idea to sell steamed buns in the Shen family. My sister came from her, and she has been smart since she was a child. Just go to the mansion to get some money, and she will definitely do better than the second uncle."

Chen Guanshi showed an approving smile: "I'll just say, this matter is settled like this. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. It just so happens that you come with us today."

Yiyou only felt a dark cloud in her heart, and she was indescribably depressed.How could it be like this, she must have had an affair with Erbo's family, and they have been tricked to death in her two lifetimes.

Seeing her father's drooping shoulders, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.Father has been putting down his face today, trying his best to please her, and even dared to speak out against the pressure of the county magistrate.If he fails, he will definitely blame himself very much.

Just when she was bored, she glanced aside, and the cloud in her mind dissipated instantly.
