Chapter 112 Placement of New Servants
When we got home, it was dark, and Luo Mingdu was standing at the gate of the yard, watching eagerly, and ran out quickly when he saw Fang Shi and the others coming back.

Luo Tiandu jumped out of the car first, and before Luo Mingdu could speak, he dragged her into the house.After a while, Mrs. Fang and Uncle Gu also brought in the four freshly baked long-term workers.

Luo Mingdu got Fang's orders at home, cooked dinner early, heated it in the pot, and brought it out at this time.

After a busy day, Fang didn't even drink any saliva, she was already hungry, so she invited Gu Bo and Luo Tiandu to eat together with the four they had brought back from home.

Cheng Qing and the others were suffering from the cold and starving outside every day. It was the first time they saw hot food, and their eyes had been fixed on it for a long time. When they heard Fang's calling them to eat, they didn't hesitate, and they all went to serve bowls. But they didn't serve the table, and they either squatted or stood in the corner and ate silently.Since Cheng Qing only had one arm, it was inconvenient, so he picked up a bench, put the bowl on the bench, and squatted on the ground to eat.

During the meal, Luo Mingdu glanced at those people from time to time, and then quietly asked Luo Tiandu: "Xiaodu, are they our long-term workers?"

"Yeah." Luo Tiandu took a bite of pickled vegetable pancakes, took another sip of soup before swallowing it, and said, "The one squatting to eat is Cheng Qing, next to him is his brother Cheng Sheng, that girl is Axiu, and the other That one is called Jiang Xia."

"But our family is not a landlord, why do we need long-term workers?" Luo Mingdu still couldn't believe it. Before, she always thought that only those rich landlords could afford long-term workers.

Luo Tiandu snorted twice, and said, "Who told Grandpa and Uncle to put their family's land under Daddy's name?" Now their land registered in the county has more than 40 mu, so it was only registered by the government. Forced to bring back four refugees.

When Luo Tiandu and Luo Mingdu were talking, Axiu and Jiang Xia were in panic all the time. They didn't even enjoy the hot food they had been craving for a long time. They were afraid that Fang Shi and Gu Bo would listen to the words of the two children and abandon them.They were all suffering from cold and starvation with other refugees, traveling all the way north, and finally found a place to settle down when they arrived here, and there was only one old man in this family, plus a woman with two children, and men were rare At home, the woman and the child are soft-hearted. Such a master is like falling from the sky, and it is best to deal with them.

Several people have made up their minds that they must work hard and stay in this home.

Therefore, after eating, several people rushed to wash the dishes very diligently.

Luo Tian didn't want them to touch the bowls and chopsticks of his family, insisted on cleaning up by himself, and only asked Fang Shi and Luo Ming to help boil water and let a few people take a bath.

Cheng Qing and the others lived in the shed for many days without taking a bath, and they smelled bad.

Fang was right when she thought about it, these four people were all wearing single clothes, and they were all in tatters. Now that they are in their own house, they have prepared a set of bedding for sleeping, otherwise, in this winter, people will sleep naked on the ground.

Axiu hurriedly went to boil the water, not daring to bother the master.

Fang packed up some old clothes of herself and Luo Baisu, changed them for Cheng Qing and the others, and borrowed some old bedding from the village.

As for the place to live, Mrs. Fang cleared out the two gatehouses in the front yard, one for Cheng Qing and Cheng Sheng, and one for Jiang Xia. A small room by the side of the main room was cleaned up and given to Axiu to live in.

Luo Tian was bumped all the way in the car, and fell asleep after washing up. As for Cheng Qing and Axiu, it was the first time in a few months that they were in a warm room, covered with thick old bedding, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Luo Tian got up early, and instead of helping to make breakfast, he ran to the thatched cottage and invited Dr. Li over.

Seeing that Dr. Li was called to the house by Luo Tiandu, Fang thought that something was wrong with the children, and was very anxious.

In the end, Luo Tiandu asked Dr. Li to show Cheng Qing his pulse.

Fang frowned, feeling that the child was too soft-hearted.In the past, if my family had a minor illness or something, I would get over it as soon as I could, so I didn't have the spare money to hire a doctor.She is very good, and she specially spent money to ask a doctor to see a few long-term workers who bought it.

Uncle Gu also had a disapproving expression on his face. It's not an exaggeration to be kind, but there must be a limit to that kindness. To a few servants who just entered the door, they are so kind and soft-hearted. After a long time, they see the master's temper Well, it is unavoidable to be neglectful, and even bully the master, which is not beautiful.

Uncle Gu thought that he had to pick a good time to teach the two little Miss Sun how to run a house, and he must not be too soft-hearted in the future and let the servants bully him.

Luo Tian didn't seem to see Fang's and Gu Bo's faces, so he asked Dr. Li to read them one by one, and asked hurriedly, "How is it?"

Dr. Li stroked his beard and said, "No problem, I just got a little cold, but there is no disease."

Only then did Luo Tian feel relieved.

Although Fang was a little bit reluctant to part with the money, but when Dr. Li came to the house, the consultation fee was indispensable. Otherwise, if anyone in the family had a headache in the future, it would be difficult to invite him again.

Fang paid the consultation fee and sent Dr. Li away, then glared at Luo Tiandu and said, "It's your kindness to invite the doctor. The money for your family is blown by the wind."

Luo Tiandu said: "I'm not kind. They all came here with the refugees. I was afraid that they would catch some disease and infect our family. That would be a disaster."

Alas, before a new employee enters the job, a physical examination is very necessary. Although medical insurance is not available now, and if you are sick, you have to pay for the doctor yourself, but these four people will live with their own families in the future, and know the health of their employees in advance. The situation is inevitable, if there is something wrong, it's better to deal with it early, so as not to hurt my family.

In this day and age, a small tuberculosis can kill a person.

Fang said she was no good, so she said, "You are the most reasonable."

At the beginning, Axiu and the others also thought that Luo Tiandu was a child with a good heart, so they specially invited a doctor to see them. Later, they found out that Luo Tian was worried that they had some disease and would infect their family members, so they accepted him. Confused, he secretly rejoiced that he did not have any disease, otherwise he would have found a place to stay and would have been thrown out again.

Although there were four more mouths to eat at home, Fang also found that the burden on her shoulders was indeed much lighter.

Not to mention the cooking, it was all done by Luo Tian, ​​the other laundry and tidying up the yard, feeding the pigs and cleaning the cowsheds and pigpens, Axiu got up early in the morning and did it all, so there was no need for Fang to worry about it.

Because the weather has not turned warm yet, the ice in the river has not been broken, and the kang has to be burned at night. The Fang family is not such a harsh master, even the houses where Cheng Qing and the others live are also burned on the kang every day. Come on, the firewood at home will naturally be used up quickly.Needless to say, Cheng Qing led Stuttering Jiang Xia and Cheng Sheng to the mountain to cut firewood, and when they came back, they chopped the firewood into small pieces and stacked them neatly behind the house.

Later, there was a lot of firewood piled up, and my family couldn't burn it. Cheng Qing and Jiang Xia carefully tied up the firewood with straw, stacked it on a cart, and dragged it to the town to sell. Sometimes, they could sell it A bundle of two bundles costs dozens of pennies.

Luo Tian couldn't help but think, the eight hundred coins are really worth it.Especially Cheng Qing knew how to kung fu with fists and kicks, even though he was disabled now, his foundation was still there, when Luo Tian was fine, he often asked Cheng Qing to teach him kung fu.

She was only seven years old this year, so it was too early to talk about the defense between men and women, and when she was learning martial arts with Cheng Qing, there were adults in the yard, so she didn't have to worry about gossip.

Only Fang thought that Luo Tiandu was always out of temper, and would drag his ax to kill people if he disagreed with him. If he learned Kung Fu from Cheng Qing again, he would not become more lawless.

Fang took Luo Tian and said a few times: "Girl, what kind of kung fu are you learning? Isn't it good to just study and write at home? If you are in a hurry, it's good to embroider or something if you have nothing to do."

Luo Tiandu responded, turning his head, what should I do or what should I do.

Fang said it twice, but it didn't work, so she let her go.

Another month later, spring finally began, and the ice in the river began to thaw. The old trees that had been silent for the winter began to sprout new green on their branches, and the whole land began to slowly return to life.

The rapeseed in the field has also begun to bolt, and it will not be long before it will bloom.

Stuttering Jiang Xia stared at the unknown weeds by the roadside, and stammered: "Yes, yes, there are flowers, flowers, pick, pick bees, honey."

Luo Tian is always short-tempered, and has always been impatient to listen to stuttering, but this time he stopped and asked him: "Brother Jiang Xia, why are you suddenly talking about flowers and bees?"

Jiang Xia patted her head, with a simple and honest smile on her face: "Yi, yi, I used to, I used to, I used to, I, my father dig out, dig out bee, bee, honeycomb, bee, honey is sweet, good, delicious."

Luo Tian's heart skipped a beat.

This year, Huaxi, Fengyao, and Qiyang will promote the planting of rapeseed, and the mountains will be full of rapeseed flowers. If you raise a few boxes of bees, it would be good to collect a few jars of honey.

It's just that in this era, there is no such thing as beekeeping, and people eat honey mostly from wild honey, so it is expensive.

Hearing what Jiang Xia said, he often digs out wild bee nests, so he should have a good understanding of the habits of wild bees.

Is it possible to domesticate wild bees into domestic bees?

Even if only one brood can be domesticated, with the queen bee, worker bees can be produced continuously.She pulled Jiang Xia and asked him about digging out the honeycomb for a long time, but she didn't care about Jiang Xia's stuttering, which could make her anxious to death.

Jiang Xia is also very interested in what she said about raising domestic bees. If they can really be raised, they will have honey to eat in the future without spending half a penny.

The two had a conversation about beekeeping, Luo Tian didn't dislike Jiang Xia's stuttering, and Jiang Xia didn't underestimate her as just a child. The two made an appointment to catch wild bees when the weather warmed up. bee.
