Chapter 109: Almost figured it out?
"It's settled then. How do you calculate the monthly salary?"
Since you hire people to work, you have to pay them wages, right?
Xu Qingzhao smiled slightly: "You provide food and lodging for me and my sister, why do you need monthly payment?"
At this time, Hongying came over to interrupt their conversation and said seriously:
"I have to go back to town. My father sent a letter by carrier pigeon, saying..." Seeing Xu Qingzhao beside him, he paused and continued, "He said something happened at the escort agency and asked me to go back quickly."
"Ah? Then I'll pack some things for you to take with you. Last time, Tianma said he would come to visit in person to return the favor, but it's not convenient for me right now. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she ran back to her room, took out the box containing Gastrodia elata, and went to the backyard to pick some other herbs and packed them up. When she arrived at the front hall, her good arm was full.
When Hongying saw Sister Huanxi thinking so much about herself, a smile appeared on her face.
"Then I will accept your kindness on behalf of my father, Sister Huanxi. I will come back to play with you after I have dealt with everything."
In fact, there was only one line of words in the carrier pigeon, "The leader is in trouble, return quickly." The handwriting looked like that of the eldest senior brother. Something must have happened to her father, so the senior brother was so anxious to contact her to come back.
Hongying took the herbs, went out to unload the carriage, and rode away on horseback alone.
"I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel uneasy." Zhao Huanxi covered her chest with her hands. She didn't know whether it was the throbbing just now or the worry about Hongying, but her little heart was still beating non-stop.
Zhao Huanxi's new house had many rooms, two guest rooms outside, a kitchen and a bathroom, one for himself and three for the three maids, leaving three bedrooms.
The larger one was given to Yu Yan, and the remaining two smaller ones were divided among Xu Jinchu. In the end, the girl was unwilling to separate from Xiao Pan no matter how much she was persuaded.
After asking Xiao Pan for her opinion and confirming that she was willing and not the kind of person who was embarrassed to refuse, Zhao Huanxi followed them.
It was still early, so the children went out to play with their friends, as if it were their last day off. The children ran out happily, and before leaving, Zhao Huanxi gave them some candies to share with others.
Now that the family has more and more people, cooking every meal is a big project. Zhao Huanxi is gradually becoming overwhelmed and is considering whether it would be better to hire a nanny. She usually just cooks and there is not much else to do.
So I asked Liu to come over and help and cook two meals for the next two days.
The children’s study time is: morning class from 7 to 11 o’clock, lunch break until 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and the afternoon class ends after 5 o’clock.
Because none of the children except Meixiang could read, they only received initial education at the beginning.
I thought Xu Jinchu would also follow and learn, but he was very familiar with the basic skills, and from time to time he would quote some famous people, which made Zhao Huanxi even more curious about the origins of these two siblings.
But if the other person doesn't want to say anything, I will never ask about it. After all, my origins are a huge secret.
"Happy, I'm going back now. I'll come back tomorrow morning."
As night fell, Xu Qingzhao said goodbye and left Zhao Huanxi's house. She had wanted to see him off, but then she thought, his home was only a short distance away from hers, so there was nothing to see him off for.
I went back to my room, washed up, and lay down on my big bed. I had insomnia for the first time in a long time.
What happened to me at that time? Could it be...
No, that won’t work. Xu Qingzhao is about ten years younger than myself in my previous life. Wouldn’t it be like an old cow eating young grass?
Besides, this guy is only this old...
He sighed, thinking how nice it would be if this guy was a girl. At least he could hold her hand or something. He was thinking too much... This Brother Xu was a handsome guy, but it was true that if he were a girl, he would definitely be a cool goddess.
This was the first time she couldn't sleep because of something like this, and she tossed and turned in her arms, thinking about it.
She was an adult, so it was impossible for her to be completely indifferent to such things. She just didn't know how to deal with it. She had never been in a relationship in her previous life, had been a single mother for thirty years, and had no interest in the opposite sex. It was just that she felt that there was no physical discomfort when she was with Xu Qingzhao, and that was why she fell into his gentle trap step by step.
She was now constantly recalling the memories of being with Xu Qingzhao:
"Miss Zhao."
"joy."
"How are you, Joy?"
"She's injured, call a doctor!"
At that time, he picked her up like a princess. It was the first time she was held like this, and she felt a little embarrassed at first. But lying in his strong arms, she actually felt a little relieved.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like he was always there whenever he needed him. It was a pity that he hadn't been able to fall in love in his previous life, but now that he had traveled back to ancient times, such fantastic things could happen. Should he take that step?
But I really know too little about him, where he and his sister came from, and what happened to them.
I am not a love-brained person. If the other person is a dangerous person who may harm my hard-earned happy life, I will send him to hell without hesitation.
There is one more thing. Mrs. Zhang in the village should be taught a lesson, and the culprit of all this trouble recently, Tan Li, should also be dealt with.
The moonlight is very bright tonight. The window is opened a crack for ventilation, and now the moonlight penetrates through the window into Huanxi's bedroom.
She couldn't sleep anyway, so she quietly got up, put on dark clothes, and tiptoed to the back mountain.
"Brother Tai~Xiaoqing~"
She entered the woods and walked to the edge of the pond. After waiting for half a cup of tea, Brother Tai and the others came slowly.
"Huanhuan, what are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" After saying that, Brother Tai yawned.
Zhao Huanxi went forward and touched Taige's forehead for a while. There was no way, this furry thing was really stress-relieving. She couldn't stop touching it.
"I want to go to Jiuli Village and take revenge on someone."
"Huanhuan, who hurt you?" Xiaoqing's eyes immediately flashed with a cold light.
Zhao Huanxi had a teachable expression on his face: "That's right, there's a woman who's been giving me a lot of trouble recently, and I have to go get back at her."
Tai Ge felt so comfortable being touched that he yawned and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"
So Huanxi sat on Taige's back again, spread out his four legs and ran as fast as he could, and in less than an hour he reached the outskirts of Jiuli Village.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Huanxi stood on a high place and began to look at the village.
This village was significantly poorer than Dashi Village, with mostly adobe houses with low walls. Zhao Huanxi searched the original owner's memories for the location of his maternal grandfather's home. Because his third uncle married into Gaoma Town, his maternal grandfather's inheritance was left to his second uncle, and the family lived comfortably.
That's why Tan Li looks so arrogant.
"Found it. That house, where's Xiaoqing? Has she come?"
Tai sniffed the air and said, "It's here, right down there. Let's go over there too."
