Chapter 145 Butler Li
Li Mingyi observed the coming of cold, the passing of summer, autumn harvest and winter storage at home. It is indeed as Zhao Yunlan said, in terms of cooking, Han Lai is indeed more talented, while autumn harvest is a hard-working type.
Players, and Dongzang can only be so-so, and Xiaquan can only be regarded as a firemaker.
On this day, Zhao Yunlan summoned the whole family to announce something: "I want Li Zhongyou to be the general housekeeper and be responsible for all the affairs of the family. Of course, Grandma Cui is mainly responsible for the backyard. What do you think?"
"
Wang: "Li Zhongyou has indeed done a good job. From the days he came to our house, he has done everything in a steady manner, no matter how big or small it is."
Old Man Li: "Well, this loyal friend is indeed a reliable person. I don't object to it either!"
Zhao Yunlan looked at the brothers and sisters again. Everyone had no problem with Zhao Yunlan's proposal.
"Since everyone has no objections, then Grandma Cui will go and summon everyone to the meeting hall in the front yard."
Aunt Cui: "Yes."
All the servants in the family arrived in the front yard. Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Zhongyou and announced: "From today on, Li Zhongyou will be appointed as the housekeeper and will be responsible for assisting me in managing all matters of the house. The salary will also be based on the housekeeper's share."
Go up. After Han Lai and Dong Zang, they followed the second young master to work in the restaurant in Fucheng. Aunt Cui is still mainly responsible for the affairs in the backyard."
"Yes" everyone agreed in unison.
Zhao Yunlan: "Leave the autumn harvest and let the others get busy!"
Li Zhongyou wanted to say something, but as soon as Zhao Yunlan spoke, he had to leave with everyone.
Zhao Yunlan: "Qiu Shou, I see everything you do. I didn't arrange for you to go to Fucheng this time. The main reason is that Qiu Jing and Qiu Yue are still young, and you have just come to the house, and they are still somewhat dependent."
You don’t have to worry, there will be other opportunities in the future.”
Qiu Shou lowered his head and responded: "Thank you very much, Madam, for taking care of me. It is a blessing for us brothers and sisters to be able to do things for Madam."
Zhao Yunlan smiled: "What's wrong with you? You're just a kid. Just work well, eat well, and take good care of your younger siblings. Don't think too much about anything else."
Qiu Shou responded, the expression on his face became much more relaxed. Zhao Yunlan had talked about going to Fucheng a long time ago. It was not clear what the other people thought about Qiu Shou, but Qiu Shou knew that he wanted to do things in Fucheng and be the host of his family.
He values his family and wants to stay in the Li family and no longer have to wander around, but it is also very difficult to think about the autumn harvest for his younger siblings, so he is struggling while trying hard.
Now that I heard Zhao Yunlan's words, I felt reassured. Although I had already known that I had come to the Li family for a long time, Qiuxiang had never been able to feel at ease because I had brought my younger siblings with me. Now that I have received the affirmation of my master,
Do your job well and don't worry too much. Your younger siblings will also be well taken care of.
When Qiu Shuang left, Li Zhongyou rushed over.
"Madam, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the position of housekeeper." Li Zhongyou said directly.
Zhao Yunlan said seriously: "Not qualified? Then do you want to leave the Li family?"
Li Zhongyou was trembling: "No, not really. I want to stay in the Li family."
Zhao Yunlan: "Then let's do it! There's nothing to say, it's settled. If I'm really not qualified, I will find someone more suitable."
Li Zhongyou lowered his head and responded.
Zhao Yunlan didn't want to discuss this topic with Li Zhongyou. Li Zhongyou was aware of his ability, but this person was usually hit hard and he hadn't built up his self-confidence for a while. He would be better after a while.
"Next, you should arrange the work of these boys at home, and don't stop the previous training. The crops in the fields are about to be harvested. This year, you will assist the third young master in harvesting the crops. In addition to what the third young master himself recorded, you
Keep an account yourself and give it to me."
Li Zhongyou: "Yes."
In the west courtyard, Wu Yi helped Li Mingyi pack his luggage.
"Mr. Sir, you need to bring these shoes with you. I brought them myself. I have tried them on and they are comfortable to wear. You will not be tired when you work."
Li Mingyi: "Just leave the shoe work to them, and you can just take a rest and do something you love."
Wu Yi smiled: "I suddenly wanted to make shoes for you, but I don't do it every day. But you, you are more and more accustomed to being a young master now."
Li Mingyi was a little embarrassed by Wu Yi's ridicule, so he had to change the subject and said: "You can come to Fucheng after you finish your work at home!"
Wu Yi: "Well, I will talk about it then. Now that my sister-in-law is busy and my father and mother are getting older, I will help take care of the house more when I have nothing to do."
Li Mingyi hugged Wu Yi.
It was almost time to rest at home, and it was time to go to Fucheng. This time Wu Yi wanted to stay at home, so Zhao Yunlan took Li Mingmei and Xiaobao to Fucheng.
"Sister-in-law, I have packed all my luggage." Li Mingmei came to Zhao Yunlan happily.
"Hey, I still have some Xiaobao's clothes here, that's about it. Aunt Cui said she would take Chunxiang and Xia Xiaxiang with her when she goes out this time," Zhao Yunlan said.
Li Mingmei frowned and said: "Hey, I already know. Now I am really like a lady from an official family. In the past, my family was poor and hoped that my eldest brother would be admitted as a scholar as soon as possible and live a good life, but now that I have a good life, I still miss it.
The unfettered days before I got up."
Zhao Yunlan patted Li Mingmei on the shoulder: "You can't have your cake and eat it too! How can you make everything go smoothly? Don't be so sad. I told Aunt Cui to suspend the etiquette class this time when I went to Fucheng.
, just have fun for a few days!"
Li Mingmei relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."
Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Come on, it's time to prepare the meal. Let's have a good meal with our parents tonight!"
…
The next day, Xiaobao cheered up and was about to get on the carriage, carrying a small schoolbag made by Zhao Yunlan.
This small schoolbag was made when I was bored. It was mainly because it was inconvenient to pack something every time I went out. Zhao Yunlan thought of the small schoolbag. Later, after having Grandma Cui, this schoolbag was no longer used.
Now, Xiaobao is always clamoring for a small schoolbag, so Zhao Yunlan made the schoolbag smaller and added rabbit ears on it, so that Xiaobao can carry water and some snacks when going out.
Now that there is a carriage at home, it is much more convenient for the family to travel. Zhao Yunlan called to Xiaobao: "Xiao Ruiwen, show me what is in your little schoolbag."
Rui Wen smiled cutely: "Mom, I packed a thousand-character book. I'll get in the car first." After saying that, he stepped on with his calves and got into the car.
"Li Ruiwen~" Zhao Yunlan's voice encouraged the elder.
"Mom, look at it!" Xiaobao obediently came out, lowering his head, not daring to look into Zhao Yunlan's eyes.
Zhao Yunlan opened her schoolbag and looked at it. She was not angry, but asked gently: "Who bought you so many candies?"
Li Ruiwen whispered: "It's grandfather."
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I confiscated it..."
Xiao Ruiwen responded emotionally: "Yeah."
Zhao Yunlan: "I'll leave you two dollars."
Xiao Ruiwen: "Hey, thank you mom."
Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, let's get in the car. Remember to eat less sugar, otherwise your teeth will hurt. Call your sister-in-law and second uncle. Why haven't they come out yet?"
"Come on, come on, sister-in-law. I'm not like my second brother." Li Mingmei trotted out with Xia Xiang.
Li Mingyi followed closely: "I'm not Moji, why don't I give your second sister-in-law a few more instructions?"
Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, let's set off."
