"Liu, have you heard? In July, the east of the river cracked."

    Liu is driving 200 chickens into the experimental field of mung bean and alfalfa. Zhao Gou stood on the ridge, chatting gossip. At the beginning, when he drove chickens into the fields, Zhao Gou acted like a thief, for fear that Liu's poultry would spoil Xiao Langjun's precious crops. However, since the locust plague in early June, his attitude has undergone a 180-degree change.

    "Hey, your white-haired chicken is so well raised and fat. No wonder Xiao Langjun entrusts you with this errand. Dabai, eat more bugs, I'll rely on you Keep my beans."

    Liu shied slightly: "Zhao Weng." Then he continued to instruct the two little maids to gather the chickens.

    The scale of hatching eggs has grown over time. To supply dozens of mouths in the nursery with one egg a day, the original scale is not enough.

    "A Hong, A Lu. You two little maids are also lucky, follow you Aunt Liu to raise chickens and eat oily mouths every day. Now this year is full of disasters. Only by relying on a powerful family can we live a peaceful life for a few days."

     Things in the chicken farm. If this word reaches the ears of Steward Shi, we will enter the small dark room. It’s not that you don’t know that Xiao Langjun is strict.”

    "How did you say that? Are you strict? Is there a more merciful master in this world than the Cao family?! The owner of the eggs! You can’t eat eggs for your own filial piety, but you have to eat them! They also teach you to read and arithmetic! Tell me, what else do you want?”

    A Lu was sprayed red by Zhao Gou, but fortunately, Ah Hong put the chicken chasing stick in her hand and urged her to work. A Hong is more obedient and docile, so he is more liked by Zhao Gou. "Ah Hong, come, do you want to eat yams? This was given to my dog ​​by Dalang two days ago. The dog is filial and brought it here for me to eat."

    A Hongtong blushed: "Zhao Weng, I still have to work. According to Article 17 of the "New Regulations", during the work period, dereliction of duty, eating, drinking and chatting, gambling and fighting insects are not allowed."

    "Okay, you are good." Zhao Gou put the yam back in the rice basket, "Then remember to pick it up at dinner time."

    A Hong's voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Thank you Zhao Weng."

    A Lu, who was more than ten meters away, shouted from a distance: "Zhao Weng, if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, don't look at how old Zhao Dog is. When he can get married, A Hong's The kids can run all over the place."

    "What's wrong with my dog? My dog ​​knows 300 words! He can even recite "Poems"!" Zhao Gou stood on the ridge and scolded.

    The sun shines on the field, and the sound of the branches and leaves of the crops rubbing against each other is heard in the summer wind, but it is drowned out by the crowing of the chickens. Mr. Liu played a crisp piccolo and summoned the leading big rooster and big white goose to walk in the direction of the sorghum field and the fruit forest, where the chickens were mostly raised.

    After passing through the fruit forest, you can see the Cao Family Courtyard surrounded by a three-meter-high wall. Here we have reached the end of the free-range area, where a fine and strong fence keeps the flocks back. The fence was not high enough to stop people, so Mr. Liu took the piccolo and brought Ah Hong and Ah Lu to the back door of the other courtyard.

    The gatekeeper is a nursing home. After confirming the name tags of the three of them, and asking them to sign on the yellow scrap of paper in the traffic record book, they were put in.

    When I entered the door, I saw white cloth hanging everywhere, and the almost spotless courtyard was quiet and solemn. They walked around to the back of the kitchen and found a remodeled warehouse. They cleaned their hands by the well before pushing the curtains in with anticipation.

    As soon as you step into the door, the aroma of the food hits your face.

    The canteen is the new name of this barn.

    In the past, the servants had three, six, nine, and so on. It is absolutely bad to serve the master for a meal. After all, the master is often unable to finish all the meals. What about those leftovers that are full of oil and water? Naturally, it entered the mouth of the senior servant. In stark contrast to this are the inferior slaves who are in lowly servitude, barely able to feed themselves. There are even those who have fallen out of favor with the hostess, and they have to grow wild vegetables under the walls of the courtyard to survive. Around the item of eating, I don't know how many stories of intrigue happened in the mansion.

    However, at the Eastern Suburbs Manor, this difference was first smoothed out.

    The food here is cauldron. Whether it is the nurse of the little master, the maid, the big housekeeper, or the janitor of the chicken farm, workshop, or nursery hall, they all eat the same dishes. Children under the age of 14 should add an extra egg for breakfast, and nursing homes and elderly people over 60 should add a large piece of sauce for dinner. All food must be eaten in the cafeteria and cannot be taken away.

    Everything is transparent.

    Shi stood by the porridge bucket and was responsible for checking everyone's rules.

    "Are you clean?"

    "Clean hands."

    “What is Article 2 of the New Regulations?”

    "During the signing of the contract with the master, everything is based on the master's interests and must not betray the master."

    "Well, who is your master?"

    "The master of the maid is Cao Sheng, the Erlang of the Cao family."

    This answer was different from the usual answer, "Darlang Erlang from the Cao family", so Shi looked up at her. "It's the Liu family." Shi's late mother showed a rare smile on her face, "The two young gentlemen let me tell you that the people from the Cao family and the Ding family who came to welcome Ling should arrive today. From tomorrow, don't go there again. Eggs are delivered in front. Except for the hatching part, all are made into salted eggs and stored. The order has been sent to the warehouse, you can get the salt by signing the name tag. "

    Liu complied with the dinner plate in a low voice.

      , no mice left in the house."

    So, Ah Hong also received the meal smoothly.

    When it was Ah Lu's turn, she got stuck. She was unlucky, and she drew the incomprehensible Article 13 of the "New Rules". "Eliminate...fire drills...twice a month, in case of fire, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth...then...then..."

    "Go, read the "New Rules" three times and come back. Next!"

    A Lu had a sad face, and went to the wall to read the rules under A Hong's helpless gaze. Cao Cao's servant, Cao Xin, is on duty today. He is a cheerful and laughing character, showing his little white teeth at A Lu: "Sister Lu, have you been caught again?"

    Alu: "Yeah. Fortunately, it's you today. If Zhao Qiaoqiu is on duty, it will be fatal."

    Zhao Puppies, who came from a peasant family, probably witnessed the tragic world where his brother died of starvation and his mother and sisters were sold. Come on, he is especially feared among the servants of the Eastern Suburbs.

    "Sister Green, even if I'm such a fool, Grandma Shi is still in charge of the porridge bucket. Let's do our homework obediently. I read one sentence, you read one sentence. Article 1 of the New Regulations…”

    The "New Regulations" was put into trial for a month, and under the pressure of hunger, most people were able to memorize them completely. People like Ah Lu are underachievers.

    At the same time, Cao Sheng and Cao Cao were eating in the house.

    Because the relatives from my hometown are coming, neither milk nor goat milk dare to file the case. Fortunately, Ah Sheng found a new source of protein: locusts. This month, she asked Jiang Ai to make the most rudimentary wedge-shaped manual oil press, which can press out the oil from the soybeans of previous years.

    Fried locusts are delicious.

    The locust plague is not over yet, you can get enough locusts by purchasing from the surrounding villages. Cao Cao is also keen to take a few children to catch locusts in his farmland, but also because of outsiders, he does not dare to go out today, and he obediently wears sacks and filial piety in the house.

    The uncle of the Ding family came, but he looked older than Cao Song, and when he entered the main hall, he threw himself on the coffin: "Poor little girl, why did you go so early!" The snot was stuck on the beard.

    Cao Song and Cao Kun, who came together, persuaded him for a long time before persuading him. Ding Xiaojiu took the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe his tears, and continued to cry while wiping it back: "Let me meet my two nephews who have lost their mother since childhood."

    Luo waited outside the mourning hall sooner or later, and when he heard the words, he knelt down and saluted: "The two young gentlemen should have come to see the guests, but the unfortunate arrival of the honored guests is the time for dinner. , I'm afraid it will take a while."

    Ding Xiaojiu waved his hand: "They are young and hardworking, so don't move. You can't even eat a healthy lunch. We didn't eat, so we just went to eat together."

    Luo Chi got up and led the way: "In this case, please come with your servants."

    It was also the first time that Cao Song came to the other hospital after the twins treated her, and she was shocked all the way. He still doesn't know what kind of virtue Ding's subordinates have? As the saying goes, one soldier will be counseled, and one will be counseled. The dowries of the Ding family have to say that there is no big treacherous and evil, but it is impossible to say that they are shrewd and strong. Now I have been under the twins for a month. I am disciplined and strict. I have walked along the way without even a maidservant with flying eyes.

    Ding's family is lower than Cao's family, so Ding Xiaojiu and Cao Kun, who has been stationed in his hometown all the year round, can't see the doorway clearly.

    "Although it is filial piety, it is too deserted. Adding up the inside and outside, there are not even twenty servants. Your Cao family will not be treating their eldest son badly, right?"

    Excluding the nursing home, of course there are less than twenty servants to serve. Ah Sheng threw most of his hands into the farm, workshop, and nursery and women's medical hall.

    Cao Song looked down at the road: "Keeping filial piety and being cool is the right thing. The crowd of servants is to be criticized. Moreover, Geely and Ruyi are doing good deeds for Adin, and they have sent a lot of people. "

    "Doing good? Is it porridge?"

    Cao Song was proud of her heart, and sold it here: "When you carry the coffin and go out along the official road, you can see it."
