This day, Nanny Xu brought some farm produce to Li Wan, and Nanny Chang sent some fresh vegetables to the big kitchen as Li Wan ordered.The cook came out to see that the small green vegetables that were as long as a palm were tied up with thin straw ropes, and they were in a loose basket, and they praised: "The vegetables are so juicy, where can I get them in this season?" of!"

Nanny Chang said with a smile: "This is from our grandma to honor the old lady, and I will leave it in your hands." The man hurriedly bowed and replied: "Don't worry, old man, we have to fight for such a good thing." Get ready to serve some dishes.” Having said that, there are only so many dishes in total, and how many dishes can be cooked.

Nanny Chang came back after finishing her work, told Li Wan, and said with a smile: "The bean sprouts and side dishes that were sent in the winter last time were praised by the old lady. Now these are even more rare, which makes me feel so tired. I really want to go to the Zhuangzi to have a look.”

Mother Xu said: "It was the idea of ​​the daughters-in-law in the Zhuangzi. When they lighted the kang at home, they would cover some bean sprouts in the house to eat. The newly-built house in our workshop is bright and warm, so we can grow these vegetables Come on, it won't work if you change to another place." Mother Chang asked again: "How often can I get these dishes?"

Mother Xu said: "If you asked me this before, I really wouldn't be able to say it. This time, it grew right in front of my eyes! It took a total of more than 20 days, and it had to be done all day and all night. OK." Mother Chang nodded and said, "No wonder all the small cucumbers are now called inch pumpkins, so it's a big waste of money." Mother Xu said, "It's impossible to grow cucumbers in ordinary land. We tender vegetables, we need to see the sun, we need to be warm and sheltered from the wind, but also have the sun, and fortunately our workshop room has glazed windows, although it is made of bits and pieces, it is bright after all."

Nanny Chang smacked her lips and said: "You are talking more and more now, what is not a little bit, how much is that glazed plate worth, and it is not something that can be bought by one person! That's right for me I want to go to the village to have a look." Li Wan said with a smile: "Mother, you have this thought in your heart, so you turn to this place when you say anything. Now that the village is not shared, it is better to wait until the next year. Let's repair a few courtyards, quiet and quiet, and we will all have to live there when the time comes."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "Grandma is talking about dreams. If you want to say that the old sister will live there, there is still some hope. Grandma wants to go out, but it is more difficult than going to heaven." Li Wan smiled and said: "They It’s the same when I go to live and come back to tell me.” Madam Xu said again: “If you want to say that our current Zhuangzi is big enough, but it’s very rough, and you have to know grandma to go, if you really go, There is really no courtyard where Grandma He lives. Even though the original main courtyard in Zhuangtou is preserved, it is just a meaning after all."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Then let's build a new one and make them into small yards. Then everyone will share one, and it will be quiet and close. Wouldn't it be interesting?" Madam Xu shook her head and said, "Grandma's workshop is I'm exhausted enough, now I will never take up this idea again, and grandma and grandma can't go." Li Wan said with a smile: "This time, I won't bother you, boss."

Suddenly there was something going on outside, so Nanny Xu and Nanny Yan went out, Li Wanfang took out an envelope from the kang cabinet by the bed, handed it to Nanny Xu, and said: "This letter is handed over to Ji Liang when you have time, just say what I said, here If he can use the stuff in his head, he can use it if he can, and he doesn’t have to return it to me if he can’t use it. As for how to use it and what to do after using it, I have nothing to do with it. However, if he really feels sorry in his heart, he can give it to me. Some small courtyards will be built on the Zhuangzi, and the nuns will also have a reliable place to stay in the future."

After passing through the matter of tea leaves and looms, Mother Xu knew that Li Wan had a lot of strange things in her hands, and also knew that she was most afraid of trouble. Seeing her like this, Fang sighed and said, "Grandma, if it was for me Please think again about what grandma said before. Ji Liang's life will not be difficult, after all, the tea recipe is in his hands."

Li Wan shook his head and smiled slightly: "I know what Mammy means. After all, Ji Liang had to go out because of my frivolity. Now that he is in such a place, he will naturally meet good players. They are all dignitaries. How many lifetimes have he worked under the door, and he has experienced in the firm for a long time. He has just left his citizenship and has no one to rely on. How can he communicate with others? Mr. Zhang must not be bad for Ji Liang, but he is only talking about business, and he has no one in his hands. Hard stuff, how long can you appreciate it with the owner's appreciation.

Although the tea recipe made a lot of money at the beginning, it was because no one thought of it.Here we have been drinking tea for thousands of years, and burning spices for thousands of years, but it is just a matching ratio, how long can we hide it from others?Although they are not the same thing, the reason is the same, if there is no tangerine flavor, there will be plum flavor, and he doesn't have a big tea garden or decades of connections, so how can he get a place in that business.The things in my letter are different, it's just that I'm lazy and I don't have that ability. Ji Liang is not a person who is eager for quick success and quick profit, and he has plans, so let him figure it out. "

He smiled at Xu Nanny again, "Telling Mammy not to look at it is to keep out of sight and out of mind."

Mother Xu nodded and said, "Although Ji Liang and Duan Gao married my goddaughter, they are my half-son-in-law, but they are not as important as grandma. When grandma's machines make money, we both worry about it! I suddenly took this out. Although I don't know what it is, I think it is a way to make money. If it is for Ji Liang's future, I don't think it is necessary!

It's not like I said, now that I'm free, and I'm staying in a firm, and the salary I get is not low, it's a good day!What else is there to do, what do you have to do with those old slickers.Grandma is always blindly lazy when it comes to her own affairs, she doesn't care about anything, doesn't pay attention to it, why does she become ambitious when it comes to the people around her! "

Li Wan said with a smile: "Nurse is not the right analogy. I am like this because I am like this. I like to live in peace and leisure, and I always feel that it is not interesting to be with others. Ji Liang and Duan Gao both have a relationship Those who are capable, they came with me back then and planned to take care of the house in the future. Although, even if I didn't take out these things, Ji Liangding still has a way to stand out. Now I happen to have this suitable thing, but Just give him a hand.

What's more, he didn't say whether he wanted this thing after seeing it.As for Mammy, she was not afraid.Originally, they were my dowry family members. Naturally, I was afraid that making too much money would make people think about it, and my peaceful life would be gone.Now that they have all entered the noble family, if they do what they do, they may not have enough credit, so how can they be the same as before.Duan Gao's place, I have given things to Ru Xin, Ji Liang's place, I naturally can't treat one more favorably than another. "When Mother Xu heard this, she agreed to hand over the things to Ji Liang.

In the hall of the Zhuangtou compound, Ji Liang and Yan Jun talked for a long time, and when they were about to leave, Mother Xu said, "Ji Liang, wait a minute, give me a few words for your wife." Ji Liang Then they turned back, Yan Jun and Peng Qiao smiled and went away separately.Mother Xu let Ji Liang into the small hall on the east side, and let Yunqiu and Moyu watch outside, then she took out the letter from her armband, handed it to Ji Liang, and said what Li Wan said. up.

Ji Liang rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "It's rare for grandma to talk about asking for something, but she doesn't give anything for a few yards, so why don't I repair it for her?" Mother Xu laughed and said, "Grandma is thinking strangely, if Ordinary courtyards are naturally easy, but if you build them like that workshop, how can you afford it?! Do you want my grandsons and granddaughters to drink wind!"

Ji Liang laughed and tore open the letter, he was dumbfounded after reading only two lines, looked up at Nanny Xu and said, "Mom, this..." Nanny Xu quickly stopped him and said, "Wait! Grandma give me When this letter came, she specifically asked me not to read it, but she said that it was out of sight and out of mind. She only said whether to use this thing, how to use it, and what to do afterwards, etc., are up to you. Don’t involve her. "

Rao Ji Liang was so calm alone, he couldn't help standing up and started pacing back and forth in the room.He unfolded the letter paper twice, read it twice, took out the ink on the side, and started writing.Seeing that he couldn't understand what he wrote, Mother Xu was wondering, Ji Liang had finished transcribing, and then covered the letter paper with fire and burned it to ashes.Seeing Madam Xu's confusion, Fang smiled and said, "This is a set of things that Duan Gao and I have figured out, and only he and I can understand the writing."

Nanny Xu understood immediately, and sighed, "Oh, why bother so much! I advise grandma not to give you things, isn't life so easy now! Grandma just said that you and Duan Gao are capable people, Even if she doesn't care about it, you still have to stand out. She just saves you some effort. She is simple by nature, how do you know how much effort you have to spend! If there is no such thing, the family will not be able to feed and clothe? Ordinary life , what's wrong with being at ease!"

Naturally, Ji Liang knew that Madam Xu had a heart for her children, so he smiled and said: "Mom overthinks things, it's not that hard. What grandma said is correct, Duan Gao and I naturally like to make things happen Yes." He said with a wry smile, "It's just that our master is too scary, and the things we shake out casually are all amazing things. If we really put our heart into it, I'm afraid it's not just an empty talk. But the master is lazy. To tell the truth to my mother, if it is for the money, then there is no need to make a living. When the tea and ingredients were made, the money rewarded by the grandma was enough for the children and grandchildren to live in peace and stability for a lifetime.

It's just that now that we're out, and in such a circle, we naturally don't want to be looked down upon by others. Grandma has taken care of our thoughts.We have nothing to repay, and the same sentence, no matter whether we are expelled or not, we always recognize this master. "

Mother Xu sighed and said: "Oh, I'm also worrying blindly. This person loves to worry blindly when he's old, he just wants to be safe and sound." Ji Liang smiled and said: "It's not all the same, if you let Mom go back to the mansion I'm afraid you're not happy to live in retirement." Madam Xu smiled and said, "That's the reason, grandma has advised me so many times, saying that I have worked so hard outside in the wind and rain, but I think so." Be more comfortable."

Ji Liang smiled and said: "So Mom doesn't have to worry about us too much, we just find it interesting." Xu Nanny thought about it, she was just a companion for two households, but she went to the master and son again, but now they are both Now that he is in charge, he is also in charge of dozens of people, and has tens of thousands of money in his hands, so it is naturally different.Then he smiled and said, "I won't say much, you just tell me, are you planning to use it or not?"

Ji Liang brightened his eyes and said, "Naturally it will be used! Mom will tell grandma that I have fixed the yard on the village. If there is not enough land, I will buy some more land for grandma!" Nanny Xu smiled and narrowed her eyes. , it seems that this time Li Wan gave another very profitable method.

Yan Jun went back to his courtyard, his wife saw her and asked: "Ji Liang and the others went back?" Yan Jun said: "No, Madam Xu left him to talk." His wife hurriedly said: "Then why did you come back?" Ji Liang wondered: "I've finished my business, everyone left, why don't you come back?" His daughter-in-law resentfully said: "Didn't you say that Mother Xu left Ji Liang to talk again? Why don't you sit down and listen?" ?” Yan Jun sneered and said, “You didn’t keep me, why should I stay there for things I shouldn’t be in charge of?”

His daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "You are the head of the village, what is not in your charge in this village? Why can't you stay and listen?" Yan Jun then turned around, looked at her and said, "What are you doing here? Yes! People are not in charge of planning and affairs in our village, and his daughter-in-law is the goddaughter of the nanny. People are talking about family affairs, so what should I do here!" His wife was speechless for a while, and muttered: "What family affairs? , Why didn't you say it before, but you have something to say when you come back from the mansion! I don't know what benefits it has gained!"

Yan Jun sighed and said, "What have you been thinking about all day long, even if it's good, it's someone else's. What are you thinking about?"

His daughter-in-law blew up when she heard this, and said sharply: "What am I thinking about? What do you think I am thinking about?! They are both slaves, not only have they lost their membership, but they don't know how much money they have in their hands! You see Look, Yunqiu Moyu and those two, what they wear on their bodies are as good as Mrs. Shangguan! Even my sister-in-law is not bad! Why can’t I compare with them? You are still Zhuangtou, and I am still Zhuangtou Mrs. Tou! They are just servants of the village, but none of them pay attention to me! You still come to ask me what I am thinking about?!

Tell me, what will we gain next year?What did they get?I don't know how much more money they got than us!One by one will compete for favor with grandma, isn't the mother-in-law also in front of grandma?Why don't you let her talk in front of grandma!Just being bullied like this, next to each other, do you still have any blood? "

Yan Jun was tired all day and didn't want to argue with her, so he said: "What do you compare with them? Steward Qiu and Mo Yu are grandma's close servants! Don't you know what the maids in the mansion look like? Nanny Xu and Grandma loves mother and daughter even more. This Zhuangzi wants a Zhuangtou just for the convenience of dealing with the outside world. Madam Xu, who is really in charge, why are you dissatisfied with this? And let my mother propose you to grandma, grandma Know who you are?!"

After speaking, he went to the back room to wash up.Yan Jun's daughter-in-law hated people talking about her identity the most. She had never even had a decent job in the mansion, let alone met Li Wan. After leaving, he picked up a teapot at hand and threw it on the ground, and sat down and cried again.

Yan Jun heard the sound in the back room, frowned, washed himself and lay down.I thought to myself that I couldn't even find a job in the mansion, so I had to work with my uncle. Although the two got married, they didn't even have a decent house, so they only separated a room behind the bookstore to sleep at night. The place.I suddenly got such an errand, and my mother explained it several times before and after-grandmother trusts and respects Nanny Xu the most, and she must put Nanny Xu first in everything.

When I arrived at the Zhuangzi, I thought it was just a change of place to be a servant, but I didn't expect that Madam Xu arranged a yard, even sent a servant girl, and handed over all the important affairs outside the village.But in a few days, he turned around and became Zhuangtou.Not to mention that Yueyin is five or six times the original amount, food, drink and clothing are also managed by the village, and a large amount of money will be obtained next year, which is something that I would never even dare to think about.

But this woman is dissatisfied, and she never stops fighting. Later, when Yunqiu and Moyu's family also moved to Xiaozhuangzi, she will not be able to do so. She has to compare everything with others, but she doesn't see why she is compared with others.She didn't even think about it, why did the village have Zhuangtou, and instead brought grandma's former predecessors to be in charge, was it because those affairs were entrusted to her, the "Mrs. Zhuangtou", who was worried? !As soon as I came up, I wanted to deduct my wages and get kickbacks.I didn't dare to tell my mother, for fear that it would only cause conflicts and troubles.It's just that with such a daughter-in-law, how will I live in the future!Yan Jun sighed secretly and fell asleep in a daze, not caring about the wailing people in the outer room.
