"No, don't be afraid."
Ling Muyang interrupted her, beckoning her not to mess around.
The double bed room is also on the second floor. No one is guarded outside the door. Who knows if anyone will listen outside.
Lin Su held his mind, his hands under the table clenched into fists, and he breathed a long breath of relief.
Soon, the door of the house opened, Dai Xi came in with the food, put it on the table, and said.
"Second Lord, do you want wine?"
Ling Muyang thought for a moment and shook his head, pointing to the position beside him and said.
"Sit down and eat together."
Dai Xi didn't sit down immediately, but glanced at Lin Su. Seeing him nodding to himself, he clasped his fists and sat down with his robe.
Ling Muyang pulled down the rope in the house, and after a while, the buddy came up and was instructed to add an extra pair of chopsticks.
While the bowls and chopsticks were not coming up, Ling Muyang looked at Dai Xi who was sitting properly and said.
"I wanted to find you yesterday, but there were too many things and you were very busy, so I forgot. Your sister-in-law is here today, and I want to tell you what happened yesterday morning."
Hearing this, Dai Xi sat up straight and looked at Ling Muyang nervously with a solemn expression.
"Hehe... Don't worry so much, I don't eat people." Ling Muyang shook his head hurriedly and said with a smile.
The man brought the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Su served the food for everyone, closed the door, and said.
"Eat first, it's never too late to say after eating."
If the guess is right, he should talk about management.
Ling Muyang looked at Dai Xi, put the vegetables in his bowl, and said.
"Talk while eating?"
"Okay, it's all about the second master." Dai Xi nodded heavily.
Lin Su ignored it and threw away his cheeks and started eating.
"Guan Shi, what happened yesterday morning..."
Sure enough, Ling Muyang really left him to point out Dai Xi's mistake.
In that case, she was happy and relaxed, and she just had to eat without worrying about those things.
After a meal, Lin Su was full, and Dai Xi obviously did not move a few mouthfuls of a bowl of rice. Ling Muyang continued, thinking about it, got up, and walked out of the room.
I closed the door and went downstairs. I didn't stop when I passed the big bed room, but the noise in the room was heard.
Wine order.
When I got down to the first floor, the buddy and the cook had finished eating, Lin Su called a buddy and asked him to send a pot of wine upstairs.
Zhang Jing and Zhang Dasao accompanied the three children to study on the first floor, but Zhang Tuhu was not there.
Huang Yu walked over and lowered his voice.
"Madam, Butcher Zhang said when he left, if Madam is not tired, you can go to the house over there."
Lin Su was stunned when he heard the words, and also asked in a low voice.
"He went?"
"Go." Huang Yu nodded, and then added, "Go after dinner."
Wei Cheng and Hongxia had already started organizing everyone to learn the rules. There was still a while before going to bed. Lin Su thought about it and went back to the backyard to wear a cloak.
The master and servant set out from the back door, and the snow on the ground has been almost cleared, but there are many places with ice, and they will fall if they are not careful.
Huang Yu took Lin Su's arm all the way, for fear that she would slip.
Crossing the official road, after entering the village, the wind is not so strong because of the shelter of the house.
Lin Su walked slowly, looking at the quiet village, sighed lightly, and said.
"The second master is giving Dai Xi a class."
"Class?" Huang Yu was puzzled, and then tried to ask, "What happened yesterday morning?"
"Yeah." Lin Su nodded.
Hearing this, Huang Yu touched his nose and said softly after thinking about it.
"It's not bad for the second master, but the provincial wife said it was embarrassing."
"It's not embarrassing, but... I always feel that I am asking too much
. But after thinking about it, he earns more than others, and if he doesn't deal with it well, it really doesn't make sense. "
Lin Su finished with a wry smile, and it is estimated that Dai Xi will be missing someone tonight.
"Madame distressed?"
Hearing this, he was stunned, then he sighed lightly and said.
"It's not that I feel sorry for him, I just think... it's not easy for him."
"not easy?"
"Yup!"
Lin Su took a deep breath and looked at the breath that came out of the words. It felt a bit like practicing martial arts.
"It's really not easy for him. Before I built an inn, he saw that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. His mother was partial to her daughters, and if she had money to save her dowry, she delayed him."
"Later, the inn was built, the business was good, and there was a shortage of people, so he came. He didn't say anything about the work, he was insightful, he was able to do things, and he was not afraid of hardship. But he didn't go to school, so some things weren't handled very well."
When Huang Yu heard this, he nodded in understanding. After thinking for a moment, he said.
"Madam loves him, loves everyone who is not easy, the servant found it. But this is not the reason, it is not the reason why he is not motivated."
"After all, one or two dollars a month, including food and housing, what a good job? But the better the job, the more you have to let him know that it's not easy."
"Otherwise, it's too easy, and the momentum is gone, but it still hurts him. Madam, one can't help but think ahead."
The last sentence is like a drunk.
Lin Su seemed to be watered with cold water, from the head to the soles of the feet.
Yes, one can't be too comfortable, and can't help but be enterprising.
After thinking for a while, the two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
When I was speaking, I came to the workshop and opened the door into the yard. The yard is not as sloppy as it was at the beginning.
Everywhere is cleaned up and very neat.
Hearing the sound of beating in the room, Lin Su did not go to disturb him, but went to the kitchen first.
In the kitchen, pots and pans are ready. The clean up is the same as the yard, neat and tidy.
There was a fire in the stove, opened the lid and looked at it. Water was boiling inside.
The two looked around, and then they went to the house on the south side of the mountain.
Opening the door, Butcher Zhang was working on something, and when he saw Lin Su and Huang Yu, he quickly put down the saw in his hand and said.
"Sister, Huang Yu is here. Sit down, sit down."
The kang seat was newly bought at first glance, and Bian'er hadn't yet bagged it.
Lin Su didn't do it, moved a chair and sat down, deliberately swaying around a few times, said.
"Brother is good at craftsmanship. This chair is well made and strong."
Zhang Tuhu smiled slyly, pointed to the kang, and said invitingly.
"Sit on the kang, the kang is hot."
"No, that's good, the chair is comfortable." Lin Su shook his head and refused.
There was no edging on the kang seat, so obviously there was no time. She couldn't sit on it, she didn't sink much.
Huang Yu moved the stool and sat aside, but did not go to the kang.
Knowing the kindness of the two of them, Zhang Tuhu casually pulled a small bench to sit down, pointed to the box and frame on the kang, and asked.
"Sister, how are you playing?"
Lin Su glanced and nodded, and said approvingly.
"It's pretty good. Especially when it's being framed, it's spacious."
"Yes, in the past, our hometown was narrowly framed, and the quilt was folded up and the curtain could not cover it, so I looked at it wimpy."
"Oh." Lin Su nodded, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Big Brother, this is also an improvement."
"It's not good, it's improved." Zhang Butcher said grinningly.
He picked up a wooden cube casually, played with it and said again.
"Meizi
, What happened yesterday morning... was that my brother did not do well. We should not go to the front hall to eat, just eat in the room. Sister, I'm troublesome for you, my brother is really uncomfortable. "
Lin Su shook his head when he heard the words, sat down with his legs crossed, and said indifferently.
"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, mainly because Dayun and Sixi didn't handle it well. You should eat and eat, don't have any burdens. When you move over and start your own business, it's a different matter."
When Zhang Tuhu heard this, he made a heavy "Oh" and said.
"Yeah, I should have come out long ago, alas! Now when I think about this, my brother is noisy and feels uncomfortable. Say okay..."
"Oh, okay, okay, brother, let's not mention the past, ah!" Lin Su shook his head hurriedly, motioning him not to say it.
The eggs are not what they want, if there is a mistake, at most they have not reminded them.
But this is not their fault at all, and there is no need to blame it everywhere.
Thinking of this, Lin Su changed the subject and said again.
"Big Brother Zhang, what are you... what's your plan? Are you buying land in spring next year?"
"I don't want to buy it, I plan to rent the land." Zhang Tuhu said softly.
Lin Su was surprised when he heard the words, and repeated in disbelief.
"Leasing land?"
Butcher Zhang nodded, put down the prescription in his hand, sighed, and said.
"Sister, you also know that the two children at home spend a lot of money to study. It is good to buy land, but if the money is spent and the child needs something, he will be blind."
"Xiao Jing has helped us too much, but she can't shave her anymore, let alone save money for the children. You say no?"
Lin Su listened and understood, thought for a moment, and said.
"How much land does Big Brother plan to rent?"
Zhang Tuhu didn't answer immediately, he pondered for a moment and said.
"Five mu. It used to be almost the same in my hometown. Kill pigs in the morning, buy meat in the morning, and go back to farm in the afternoon."
"Oh." Lin Su slowly nodded, thinking for a moment and then said, "Brother is only responsible for killing pigs here, and don't care about the others."
"Oh, those five acres of land are just like playing." Zhang Tuhu said cleanly.
Lin Su was not polite with him, looked at him seriously, and said.
"In this case, I bought ten acres of medium-sized farmland from this family, and all these ten acres of land are rented to you. The rent is just like the wasteland. You pay the taxes and grain, and I only need 20% of the grain."
"Twenty percent?"
"Correct."
Zhang Tuhu was embarrassed, he opened his mouth several times, and finally turned into a sentence.
"Sister, thanks."
Lin Su smiled and shook his head, and said indifferently.
"My land is rented to everyone. It's better to rent it to my own people. Last year, the wasteland in Yuanchang County was struggling to collect rent. I really don't want that to happen."
"Then don't worry, brother will never do that."
"Oh, I just told you a habit. I didn't think you could cheat me." Lin Su smiled and shook his head, beckoning him not to worry.
Zhang Tuhu smiled sullenly, got up suddenly, and said.
"Sister, let's go and have a look next door? What I made for those two boys is just the same table you mentioned last time."
Lin Su nodded, got up and followed out.
Parents and mothers love their children, and it will be very cold to get up in the mountain house in the morning, so they leave this bad house for themselves and a good house for their children.
Push the door into the house, and the house is cleaned up.
The two study tables under the window were made exactly as Lin Su said last time.
I have to say that Zhang Butcher’s craftsmanship is really good...
