lady, please calm down

Chapter 89

In the seventh year of Fuchang, the sixth day of August.

Luliuxu set up a banquet.

Before the meeting, Chen Chu stood on the steps and announced a few things.

First, the newly established Luliuwei Agricultural Reclamation Group officially hired Liu Bo as an agricultural consultant, with a monthly payment of two guan.

Second, Aunt Liu joined the Nongken Group as the executive chef, and her daughter Liu Lanzhi helped cook and was responsible for meals for the group employees and the students of Lanxiang Academy.

Third, the Liu brothers have raised their salaries.

Next, the thoughtful villagers immediately settled the accounts for Uncle Liu's family.
The five members of this family received the iron rice bowls of the boss, and the monthly money for a single month was worth a small ten bucks!

Shiguan!
Some people have never seen so much money in their life, but they can easily earn it in a month.

Even Liu Sloppy, who used to love yin and yang, couldn't help admiring: "The Erhu family hugged the master's thigh, it looks like it's going to be prosperous!"

"Hey, when the club recruited defense players, I wish I had been more courageous."

Liu Siliang, who took a slow step, was quite heartbroken.

It's two quarters.

Formal opening.

Liu Bo, who was forcefully dragged by Chen Chu to the head of the table, was still a little cautious at first, but Yang Youtian and Yao Sanbian, who accompanied him, persuaded him to have a few glasses of wine, and then Liu Bo gradually relaxed.

Sitting with the Liu brothers at the next table were members of Chen Chu's closest circle, including Da Lang and the eldest son.

Liu Erhu could feel that the attitude of this group of people towards him had changed a lot.

In the past, it wasn't that they looked down on the villagers of Luliuxu, it was just that the temperament of the two groups of people was obviously different.

Naturally we can't talk together.

Now, everyone took the initiative to chat with the Liu brothers.

"It's said that if you don't go to prison, you're not a good man. I haven't tried it yet, but I was overtaken by the Erhu brothers, hahaha. But speaking of the situation that day, although Erhu was a little slow to react, But that hoe is really fast and ruthless."

Zhou Liang said with a smile.

Now that Zhang Gui's case has been closed, Zhou Liang, Aunt Yao and other women who participated in the fight that day, went down the mountain again without any worries, and the Cross Slope Hotel was able to reopen.

"At that time, my mind was like a mess. If Brother Zhou hadn't shouted, I would still be standing there stupidly." Recalling that time, Liu Erhu couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"It's pretty good to be able to react. From now on, we will be our own brothers. Come on, Erhu and Daniel, let's have a drink together."

Yang Dalang raised his wine bowl, and the rest of the people also shouted: "You need to have a drink with us."

"Okay. Eat them all. My brothers and I will eat a bowl." Liu Erhu grinned innocently.

Men's seats are placed outside the courtyard.

The seats for women and children are placed in the classroom of Lanxiang Academy.

Sitting at the main table with Aunt Liu was naturally the owner's wife, Mao'er.

Mao'er guessed that the reason why the officials wanted to make the scene so grand was that apart from gratitude, there were also other considerations.

For example, let the villagers of Luliuxu see with their own eyes whether it is good or bad for Chen Chu to follow him.

Gather people's hearts.
So after discussing with Chen Chu, Mao'er also wanted to do something he could do.

"Auntie, I heard that you were ill a few days ago. I happen to have a small ginseng here, which is not very valuable. Give it to Auntie to make up your body."

Mao'er took a ginseng wrapped in red silk from Yunong beside him, opened it and put it in front of Aunt Liu with a smile.

Aunt Liu was taken aback, got up quickly, and said in panic, "Ma'am, my wife can eat such precious things, please put them away quickly, Ma'am."

This ginseng is not big, it is worth one or two taels of silver.

But this top-of-the-line supplement really has little to do with ordinary people.

"What did Auntie say? No matter how expensive this mountain ginseng is, it is for people to eat. If the rich eat it, why can't we farmers eat it? Auntie don't give in. My officials have been caring about you. Wait for Auntie. Now that you are in good shape, Brother Big Niu and Brother Erhu can feel at ease doing things for our Zhuangzi, right?"

Mao'er spoke softly, patting the back of Aunt Liu's rough hand while talking.

It made Aunt Liu shed tears again, and kept repeating, "I don't know what kind of blessing my old lady has achieved in her previous life, to meet such good people as the boss and the eldest lady."

In addition, Mao'er also prepared a piece of muslin and two hairpins for the other women of the Liu family.

Adding it up is worth about five taels of silver.

He stared blankly at a room full of women.

Facing Liu Lanzhi and Liu Daniu's mother-in-law's formal thanks, Mao'er smiled and responded appropriately, with gentle words of comfort and encouragement.

The doctor's posture is also quite right.

Yunong, who was sitting next to Mao'er, winked at Mao'er triumphantly, and then quietly gave a thumbs up under the dining table, signaling: You did a great job.

There is a reason for her to be proud, after all, Yunong often helps to give advice on what kind of gift to give to Aunt Liu's family.

Also, knowing that he was going to do such a scene today, Mao'er was very nervous, lest he would say the wrong thing or make people laugh with inappropriate gestures.

So, Yunong practiced with the cat all afternoon yesterday.

For example, what kind of expression should be used and what should be said when others thank you.

If Aunt Liu refuses to accept the gift, what should she say?

Look, isn't this coming in handy today?
The cat with a sigh of relief also felt that he performed well today, but he still pursed his mouth to keep reserved. Seeing Yu Nong winking and mischievous, the dignified cat stretched out his finger and poked Yu Nong's thigh under the dining table , whispered: "Be more reserved, if someone sees you, they will say us."

Subconsciously want to say 'our' cat, but changed it abruptly, "I'm going to say you."

However, Yu Nong could hear the word 'we', giggled, and whispered: "Sister, I know."

In the house, some courageous women came over with a smile on their faces, brought a wine cup, chatted with the cat, and toasted.

The treatment of Uncle Liu's family today has indeed stimulated many people.

The women also want to find jobs for their men and sons in this agricultural reclamation group.

Seeing that the cat is friendly and unassuming, I want to try to follow the route of my wife and let the cat blow the pillow breeze.

Naturally, Mao'er does not spit easily, but it is also very face-saving. She drinks when people toast.

just
'hi~'

Why is this wine so unpalatable? It's bitter, spicy and astringent.

Maoer, who drank alcohol for the first time in his life, thought so.

not yet.

The banquet is over.

Yunong went to Xikuanyuan.

In recent days, she has been very, very busy.

In the morning, I will teach in the school.

In the afternoon, I have to deal with letters and submissions from readers who are mailed in like crazy.

Occasionally, I have to find time to discuss some posture issues with Mr. Chen.

Busy but fulfilling and happy
Chen Chu and his eldest son brought some food and drink, and sent them to Shizipo Hotel for Aunt Yao and the others.

After returning, he couldn't find the cat anywhere, so he asked Hutou, who was running wildly with his companions under the ginkgo tree in front of the courtyard, and asked.

The little girl said that she just saw her sister go to the backyard.

Three into the backyard.

After Chen Chu came in, he looked carefully for several times before he saw the cat behind a clump of thick weeds.

Sitting with arms wrapped around knees on the steps under the eaves of the verandah, her small head was buried in the crook of her arms, but her petite body couldn't help shaking from side to side as if uncontrollably.
On the ground beside him, there was a pool of filth.

"Are you drunk?" Chen Chu smelled alcohol as he approached.

"Hmm..." Mao'er raised her head from her arms in confusion, her face was as red as a small apple, and her eyes were blurred.

Seeing that the person standing in front of him was his own official, the cat first grinned, then seemed to think of something, hurriedly picked up a handful of weeds and threw them on the filth
It's like worrying that the officials will dislike her when they see the dirty things she vomited out of drunkenness.

It's just that there is no silver here.
Well, Chen Chu pretended not to see it.

"Go, I'll take you back to rest."

"Well"

The cat stood up unsteadily, and Chen Chu stretched out his hand to support him, and said casually, "Shall we hire a maid too? I'll follow you, so I can take care of you when I'm not around."

After hearing this, Mao'er pouted slightly, as if a little reluctant, and then said as if negotiating terms: "The official must carry me on his back."

"Carrying you?"

"Yeah." Drunk, Mao'er actually looked a bit savage, raised her face and said: "The official needs to walk around this yard a few times behind my back, before Mao'er agrees."

Chen Chu chuckled, bent down and squatted down, and the cat proficiently lay down on it.

After Chen Chu got up and walked a few steps, Mao'er rubbed her cheek on the back, as if she had regained the feeling she had when Chen Chu carried her back to the mountain that night.

Then he said softly: "Officer, don't worry, I will not treat Yunong as a maid, nor will I bully her."

"."

Where?

No wonder she suddenly had to walk around behind her back a few times before she was willing to invite the maid, Mao'er, thinking that Chen Chu was teasing her with the matter of "inviting the maid" and wanted to take Yunong into the house.
Lady, you have so many eyes.

Now that the cat said this, Chen Chu went down the donkey, "So, the lady likes Yunong too?"

"As long as the officials like it, even if the cat doesn't like it, it will try to like it."

These words are pleasant to hear but difficult to answer, so Chen Chu smiled and changed the topic, "My lady has never had wine before, how can she get drunk if she is so good?"

The red-faced Mao'er said softly: "The cat is one with the official and husband, and wants to help the official with something."

"Actually, it doesn't have to be."

"Can officials not trust cats? Officials, Maoer told you that when you were in Tokyo, it took three days for other daughters to learn to be a female worker, but Maoer could learn it in a while. I don't even know how to read now." Poor tiger head. Cats are smart since they were young."

After all, he was drunk, the cat boasted, maybe he felt embarrassed, he smiled, and continued: "The cat can learn everything, learn how to make Aolai snacks from the official's hometown, learn how to manage the house, Learn to read and learn to count.”

After saying this, Mao'er lowered his voice, "Anyway, officials can't dislike Mao'er."

"Yes yes yes, Maoer is smart, it is a blessing for me to be the eldest lady of my Chen family." Chen Chu joked, and then asked abruptly: "Lady, did you just mean that you are willing to be sisters with Yunong? "

"Hey, she's stupid anyway"

Firstly, Chen Chu asked suddenly, secondly, Maoer was drunk, and his little head was not as smart as usual, so he accidentally told the truth.

Well, silly silly silly good!

If you are stupid, you won't rob me of the eldest lady!

Chen Chu looked back with a smile that was not a smile, Mao'er had already noticed that he had slipped his tongue.

what to do?

Sugar-coated cannonballs!

The red-faced cat suddenly stretched its head forward, kissed Chen Chu on the cheek, then looked at Chen Chu seriously and said, "Officer, what the cat means is that Yu Nong is a Good girl!"

Hey~
Yu Nong, please accept a good person card from the backyard!
