Chapter 124 The number of servants at home has increased
Lin Wanwan was very happy. She stroked the little elephant and said, "It can neither tow a truck nor plow the ground, nor can it be killed for meat. Your uncle sent it to Xiao Qingyu as a pet."
Lin Tiezhu suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, I heard from my father that the nobles in the town like to keep pets! So these are pets!"
Xiao Qingyu had already heard the noise and ran towards Lin Wanwan, followed by Yun Shang, who told her to run slower and not to fall.
"Mother! Mother! What is this?"
"Mom promised to give you a new pet. How is it? Do you like it?"
Little Qingyu ran over panting, followed the elephant for a while, kept looking at it, and finally rushed towards Lin Wanwan, reaching out for her to hug: "Mother, give me a hug!"
Lin Wanwan picked her up, and the little guy asked crisply in her ear: "Mother, what is its name? Why is its nose so long?"
Before Lin Wanwan could answer, Lin Tiezhu, who had just received the answer, had already shouted: "Sister Xiao Qingyu, I know, it is called an elephant! Even though it is not as big as an ox now, Master Lin said that it will grow as big as a house in the future.
Same height!"
Xiao Qingyu clapped her hands repeatedly: "Wow, is it true? Wouldn't it be very majestic if I ride on it? Mother, can I ride it?"
As Lin Wanwan walked away, she replied: "Mother, you don't know. Once you get to know it, ask it if it is willing to carry you!"
Xiao Qingyu shook her fist: "It must be possible!"
Lin Tiezhu also patted his chest and supported: "If it doesn't work, use a whip. Pets must obey their owners! Little sister Qingyu, if you can't handle it in the future, let me help you! I promise to train it to be obedient."
It has to be said that Lin Tiezhu has perfectly inherited his father Lin Mengjin's tough genes. Perhaps he is better than his predecessor. At only seven years old, he is already capable of doing things without beeping.
Lin Wanwan burst into laughter listening to their childish words.
The baby elephant seemed to sense Lin Tiezhu's unfriendliness, so he sprinted suddenly and pushed him out of the village road with his trunk, causing the people around him to burst into laughter.
Lin Tiezhu jumped up and was about to beat the little elephant, but Xiao Qingyu quickly stopped him while protecting the calf.
"Brother Tiezhu, don't bully it. It was you who told it first!"
"Oh! It sneaked up on me! It sneaked up on me! This thing is so cunning!" Lin Tiezhu howled.
A group of people followed Lin Wanwan happily towards her home.
Sun Chueyao and others were at the end, facing the scrutiny of everyone in Linjiazhuang, and they were almost squeezed out of their space. So many strangers came to the clan all of a sudden, and everyone was extremely curious.
Lin Mengbo, who was parking the boat at the pier, yelled: "Hey, don't just watch the fun, come over and help move things, there's a boatload of things! Come on, some people!"
"Here we go!"
This boatload of palm trees, cotton, etc. are all good things, and Lin Wanwan will not sell them for takeout at all. After the New Year, she will use them to make a lot of articles!
The young man from Linjiazhuang put down his own work and helped Lin Wanwan carry it from the boat to her home. Her warehouse was full, even the cellar was full, and finally some of it was stored in the school's warehouse.
After moving the goods for a long time, a group of people were sweating in the cold weather.
Huanong cooked a large pot of mutton noodle soup and invited everyone to eat. Although there was not much mutton in it, there were enough noodles and various seasonings. Everyone was very happy to eat it. In the end, the soup was also included.
I drank not a drop of it, so I can save tonight's dinner.
After everyone dispersed, Lin Wanwan began to settle the new slaves in the family.
A group of little beggars came to Luan County from Qiongzhou across the ocean. They were not used to the cold weather here. Even when they stood in the charcoal-burning hall, some people were still shivering. This group of beggars had never seen anything like this in their lives.
In real winter, it is unimaginable that the weather can be so cold.
If the winter in Qiongzhou were this cold, people like them would have frozen to death on the streets.
In addition to the cold, they also didn't understand what the people here said. Looking at the magnificent house in front of them, with glazed glass everywhere, everyone felt uncomfortable, and their toes hidden in their new socks were about to shrink.
Lin Wanwan called out all the servants in the family to get to know each other, and appointed Yun Shang as the first-class maid, Huanong as the second-class maid, Sun Chueyao as the head valet, and her six-year-old daughter as Xiao Qingyu's companion.
His mother is a rough lady who sweeps the courtyard.
Sun Hueyao glanced at Kunlun, who was standing next to Lin Wanwan like a black tower, and hesitated: "Madam, then Kunlun..."
From his observations today, he has discovered that Kunlun is deeply trusted by Lin Wanwan, and he must be his number one confidant.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wanwan said calmly: "He is not a servant, he is my slave."
Sun Cheyao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master, I am also your slave."
Lin Wanwan scolded lightly: "Stop hitting the snake for me and stick it with me. Stand up and don't kneel down. The Tang Dynasty doesn't have such a cowardly ethos. As long as you abide by your duties, I will not treat you badly in terms of food and clothing."
At present, the work at home is mainly shared by you adults. These children should go to school as companions first. I don't want all the people under my command to be blind."
Sun Cheyao stood up quickly, bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Madam is really kind-hearted. These little beggars are very lucky to work as Madam's servants."
After saying that, he turned around and spoke to the group of little beggars in Qiongzhou dialect. The little beggars were very happy to know that they would be able to have food, clothing, shelter, and go to school in the future.
They didn't care whether they were slaves or not. It was better than being a little beggar controlled by an old beggar. In Qiongzhou, no rich people looked up to them, otherwise none of them would be willing to work in the big yard!
The doorman of a big landlord's house in Qiongzhou is better fed and clothed than their beggar "Prince"!
The most clever little beggar among them quickly knelt down to Lin Wanwan and said words of gratitude, but Lin Wanwan couldn't understand it.
"Teach these children how to speak Luan County dialect as soon as possible. You can also teach them Mandarin when you have time."
"Here!"
After everything was said and the person was recognized, Xiao Qingyu stood up and ran into the yard. Her mind had already flown to the baby elephant. It was the first time for her to see an animal like an elephant at such a big age.
Woolen cloth!
Xiao Qingyu was sad for a while because the turtle in the yard was lost. Lin Wanwan told her that the turtle missed its mother when it grew up, so it went to the sea to find her mother, and then coaxed her to give her a new pet, and she finally let go
.
Now that she saw this naive little elephant, all the unpleasant things she felt about Xiao Qingyu disappeared.
