Three hundred and seventy-eighth, the maid at home
"Don't talk nonsense, how do you know that someone is lip-synching?" Qian Duoduo said. △
"Does this need to be said? Even if they are really singing. After all, the elders don't want to listen to songs, men, hum, they are all drunkards who don't care about drinking. Did you hear that? Director Fang also went to Chairman Wen specifically.
Approving stockings, hahaha. I can’t even imagine what Chairman Wen would have looked like at that time.” Zhang Yunmi probably thought of that scene and burst into laughter.
"You must have a serious face, and then you feel secretly happy: you can see your legs again." Lin Ziqi interjected.
Several girls laughed together.
The carriage stopped at Gate 3 of Nanhai Farm. Lin Ziqi didn't want the school bus to make a half-circle around the farm just for her and waste everyone's time, so she got off the bus here.
Nanhai Farm belongs to the green zone, so there is no safety risk for Lin Ziqi walking alone. No non-farm employees or naturalized citizens with their families can enter here. Even the naturalized citizens who come to do business can only enter and exit the office with their pass.
If you want to go to other places, you have to apply for a special pass and be accompanied by someone. The strict security system is not only to ensure the safety of the senators - the farm is responsible for supplying food to the Senate, and many senators come to the cafe for leisure consumption.
——At the same time, it also ensures that the various seedlings and seeds in the farm are not stolen or destroyed.
"Please pay attention to safety and be careful on the road." The young man from the escort company politely held her hand and helped her down the steps.
"Thank you." Lin Ziqi smiled brightly. Today's escort company soldiers are jointly selected by the Political Department of the General Staff, the Political Security Bureau and the General Office. They are not only required to be absolutely reliable in politics: serving the Senate for more than two years; having good family relations
Their family members live and work in Lingao; they have good military literacy, quick reactions, and practical combat experience; they also have certain requirements for appearance: a height of no less than 165cm, good facial features, and a loud and clear speaking voice, with Newspeak reaching at least Level 2 B level.
.
He is a tall and handsome soldier among the naturalized people. He has a tall and straight military posture. Even if he is only wearing a simple cotton uniform, he looks capable, tall and heroic.
"Serve the Senate and the people!" The soldier raised his hand in salute and watched her walk into the farm gate before returning to the step of the back seat of the carriage. At the same time, the other three soldiers remained on alert and were ready to fire their guns at any time.
Lin Ziqi nodded slightly in response to the salute of the police petitioner at the door. As soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by a tree-lined passage. Windbreaks were planted on both sides of the road. There was a steady stream of farm workers wearing bamboo hats and work clothes on the road, and horse-drawn carriages.
She and the trolley passed by from time to time. Some of them knew her and took off their bamboo hats to say hello from a distance. She did not hesitate to smile and speak.
This section of the road is very long, nearly half an hour's walk, but Lin Ziqi declined her father's request to send a rickshaw to pick her up - she didn't think walking was a burden. The fields, woods, and gardens on both sides of the road were like the most beautiful scenes.
, walking there will give you a sense of happiness as in a painting.
After walking for more than half an hour, the residential area of the farm finally appeared. From the outside, it looks like a clean and beautiful village, surrounded by woods and fields. The main part of the village is the dormitory of the farm's naturalized cadres. Next to it is another
There is a separate community where the elders who work for the Committee of Agriculture live, including some elders in the biology major who are able to live here because of their early service to the Committee of Agriculture.
There is also a guard company duty station at the gate of the elder community. Originally, Wu Nanhai felt that this was a bit out of touch with the masses and suggested that petition police be used instead. However, the general office disagreed and believed that the close guard of the elders should still be handled by the escort company.
"Sister Ju, you are busy." As soon as Ziqi entered the residential area, she saw Sister Ju, the maid of Wu Nanhai's family, drying vegetables.
Although every house here has a yard, the maids are still used to drying vegetables in public areas: it can be spread out and the sun is good. So they went in all the way. There were dried vegetables everywhere beside the road and in the open space. If it hadn't been for Wu
Nanhai was resolutely outlawed, and there used to be a large number of salted fish and smelly pickled products like fish sauce tanks hanging out to dry.
Sister Ju turned around and saw that it was Lin Ziqi. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron and returned the greeting with a smile.
"Hey, Ziqi, school is on holiday?" Wu Nanhai, who turned out of the small church at one end of the residential area, greeted with a kind smile.
Ziqi's smile became brighter, "Yes, Uncle Nanhai." She kept calling Chu Qing "sister", but she called her uncle Wu Nanhai, which was Ziqi's little bit of fun.
It's not yet five o'clock. Although Wu Nanhai is one of the few "new good men" among the elders, he rarely goes home before getting off work. This makes Lin Ziqi feel a little strange.
Overtime work in the Senate is commonplace, and continuing to work for a few hours after get off work is "normal." In the houses like Lin Ziqi's neighbors, the owner is basically invisible: he doesn't come home until midnight. Lin Ziqi every day
The first time I see their maids cleaning the door or going shopping, I will guess whether they are feeling lonely and desolate, ignored by their men, feeling empty, lonely and cold...
This kind of conjecture came to an end until the maid sisters from these houses became pregnant one after another, and then someone hugged the baby. Obviously, they were not as empty, lonely and cold as she imagined.
She responded to the greetings all the way, carefully avoiding the "rampant" toddlers everywhere, and arrived at the door of her yard.
Lin Ziqi's father, Lin Fatian, worked as a horticulture technician in a greening company before time travel. After the D-Day, he was assigned to the Agricultural Committee as an agricultural technician. He now has seven or eight official titles, but Lin Ziqi doesn't remember any of them.
.Her father is a senator and a "chief", which is enough.
The door to the courtyard is open, which is what she dislikes the most about her living secretary: the door is always open, and she never knocks when she comes in. No matter what you are doing, you can just open the door and come in.
This Meng Lan, I guess, looks pretty good - that's why Lin Ziqi was interested in giving her a "very nice and artistic" name. However, her academic performance in the maid training class was obviously not very good.
But if you want to say something to her, she will just lower her head and listen with tears in her eyes. If you get a little more aggressive, she will simply kneel down. Once Lin Ziqi lost her temper, Meng Lan directly brought a cane over with tears in her eyes.
Kneel down in front of her and hand it over with both hands. Let Lin Ziqi know what "asking for forgiveness" means.
"The attitude is very good and I won't change it." After a few tossings, Lin Ziqi didn't bother to dwell on this issue anymore. She opened the door every time she returned to her room.
Fortunately, she was pretty good at housework and her cooking was delicious. Her hygiene habits, which she was most worried about at the beginning, were also good - it is said that Meng Lan said that they were all "beaten out" with rattan. Every time I hear Meng Lan
Talking about her experience in the maid training class: "I don't know how many canes were broken", "I couldn't sit down after being beaten, so I slept on my stomach every day", "There were so many buckets of tears shed", she felt a little pity for her.
Li: To be serious, Meng Lan is only in his early twenties. He is a few years older than himself. Although he always likes his father, he is still a man in his forties after all. He is tanned every day and disappears.
What a handsome man he must be.
If she wants to marry such a handsome man, she, Lin Ziqi, is determined not to do it.
However, it is not obvious that she has suffered so much "pain" on weekdays: Meng Lan happily does housework every day and serves her father meticulously. If she goes home, he will serve her in the same way, or even better.
In short, any woman in the old time and space, including her mother who has divorced her father, would never and would never serve her father like this. Lin Ziqi somewhat understands her uncles, including her father, why he sacrifices his life and forgets so much.
The dead have come to another time and space.
After entering the door, the small courtyard is not big, but it is clean and tidy. There is a stone pavement in the middle, and flower beds along the walls around it. Various flowers and ornamental plants are planted there. One of the flower beds is filled with various herbs -
This is Ziqi's "little flower garden", but now it is taken care of by her father. In one corner is a wisteria with a round table and rattan chairs underneath. Lin Fatian often sits here to smoke, drink tea and relax.
There are also several long stone tables in the yard, with various tree stump bonsais on them. This is Lin Fatian's hobby. When he sees good stumps, he picks them up and makes a few pots. If there are too many, he gives them away.
His works are displayed in the offices of the Council and the Senate.
Meng Lan is sweeping the floor in the yard. She is only twenty years old this year. She has been living with Lin Fatian since she became Lin Fatian's secretary three years ago. She is not necessarily beautiful, but she is very upright and average-looking.
She looks very good in a black and white maid outfit. Although she knows this is a bad taste of the elders, she just looks good.
Seeing that the lady who rarely came home was back, Meng Lan immediately put down the broom and came over, taking Ziqi's canvas bag: "The chief said you were coming back, but I thought it would be later. How long will the vacation last?
Are you hungry? Dinner will be in a while, I'll go get you some snacks first."
"No, I already had some snacks when I came here. I'm not hungry now. I only have two days off. I probably have to go back to school early. Is the bath water ready?" Ziqi said as she walked.
The hot water supply in the veteran dormitory relies on a copper heat exchanger installed in the stove, which uses firewood or briquettes to heat the tap water. It is similar to a gas water heater, except that Lingao lacks high-calorie gas and can only rely on stove wood or
It uses briquettes for heating, and this kind of stove requires adding fuel to heat it up every time it is used.
"Everything is ready. Miss, are you going to wash it right away? I'll go get you more firewood." Meng Lan followed her through the yard and entered the entrance hall. She immediately knelt down and took out a pair of straw slippers and helped her take them off. Put on your shoes.
