PFC Chapter 238 Who is my sister?
Chapter 238 Who is my sister?
"Madam, the business opens in half a month... You've been tired these past two days. Although the spring breeze is warm, you're wearing thin clothes. You should come inside and rest..."
Yuanzhen took a thicker coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"Okay... I got it... Let Suyun make some medicine to prevent colds and give it to everyone to drink. Don't be like me..." After saying this, Huanxi started coughing.
Yuanzhen was so scared that he immediately patted her on the back and took her into the house to warm up by the fire.
"Yuanzhen, have all the staff uniforms been distributed?"
"It's rich! Everyone is so happy that they don't know what to do. They all say that they have new clothes to wear not long after arriving. They all say that the lady is a good person."
"I like to hear that, but since they're working for me, I can't possibly treat them unfairly. Are they sensible? Have they caused any trouble for you and Yuanyuan?"
"She's sensible, sensible... Sister Yuanyuan is a real hand at her job. It's only been ten days, and she's already got Shuxiangju's accounts and everything clear. She's much better than me."
Although He Yuanyuan had come to ancient times, she was still a university student in modern times. She had even majored in management, so these tasks were naturally no problem for her.
"Everyone has their strengths, and we can learn from each other. You're a good person, but when you have time, learn how to do the accounting from her. From now on, I'll leave the Zhao residence to you, and I'll be a hands-off manager."
"Don't worry, Madam. I'm learning from Sister Yuanyuan. But it's easier said than done. I feel like I'm not as good as Bao'er when it comes to learning."
Huanxi was amused by her words. As the master and the servant were talking, the village chief and his wife came over.
"Happy girl, are you feeling better today?"
She stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I just sweated and caught a cold that day. It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after two days of rest."
Da Sun quickly pushed her to sit on the stool and said with a smile:
"This is your uncle's fault. The village is building a school and they asked you to draw the blueprints and supervise the work. I really don't know what the village chief is doing..."
The village chief was also a little embarrassed. He was indeed somewhat incompetent as a village chief.
The houses built according to the drawings drawn by Huanxi girl all looked good, clean and beautiful, so I asked her to draw the drawings, and asked her to look at the parts of the village that I didn’t understand.
That day, there was a problem with the window and she was called over. She helped for a long time and was sweating all over. It was windy that day and she flashed with sweat, which is how she caught a cold...
"That's not the case, Auntie. I'm happy to do something good for the village. Besides, the school is the top priority of the village. Once it's built, the children in the village will have a good place to go..."
"But how can you be so clever, girl? We've never seen the layout of this school before. That blackboard thing... and that chalk thing..."
She gave the village chief the recipe for the blackboard and chalk. The village chief made them according to her method, and once he used them, he wondered why this thing hadn't been invented earlier...
"Those things you're talking about, well, they were all made by Master Yu and I. How could I have made them by myself?"
"Girl, don't be modest. We are not strangers. When Zhao'er comes back, it won't be long before we are all one family. Then you can follow her and call me mother..."
Huanxi's face slowly turned red. Even though they were engaged, it didn't mean she had to marry him. She felt embarrassed to say this...
"Auntie..." Huanxi said shyly.
"Hahahahahahahahaha, we came here just to see you. Take good care of yourself. The school will be completed in a month. During this period, I'm afraid your uncle will bother you a lot..."
"It's okay, Aunt Mao. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm also a member of the village. Even if I can't contribute physical effort, I can still lend my brain."
"I wish everyone in the village was as sensible as you, eh..."
The village chief suddenly sighed, and Mrs. Sun's expression was not very good either.
"What's going on? Is there anyone in the village who doesn't work?"
"Some families in the village are willing to work hard on the boys' school, but when it comes to the girls' school, they become passive and slack. No matter what I say, they won't listen. Sometimes I really have to chase them with a stick before they can work. It's really infuriating."
Still favoring boys over girls.
Huanxi frowned and said:
"People like this will still drool even if they're cured. Uncle Village Chief, don't be angry. People like this are everywhere. Just tell them tomorrow that they don't want to repair the village and expel them from the village. With the school, our village will get better and better. People like this will only hinder us."
"Ah... I thought that the young people who grew up under the care of the village are indeed getting old and not as decisive as they were in their youth. Girl, you are right. This guy is disobedient and needs to be taught a lesson."
"Have you found a teacher? Having a school without a teacher is a problem." Huanxi asked hypocritically.
She asked Chen Yunrui to find the teacher, but there had been no news for such a long time, and she didn't know whether the boy was reliable.
The main reason was that she didn't tell the village chief that she had asked someone to find a teacher. If the village chief found one, the worst that could happen was that two teachers would teach together.
"Hey... this matter... is a bit troublesome... Your clan leader grandfather asked people to look for him in the town. After searching for so long, no one wanted to come to the village. We finally found a scholar, but he is very pedantic and said he would come next month. I don't know how it will work..."
"The children are all enlightenment, I think the scholar is also enough."
After some greetings, Huanxi decided that he should go to the town to ask Chen Yunrui about it. It would also be a good opportunity to send another visiting card, asking him to come to the village in early April.
next day
He Yuanyuan went to the town with her, and they talked about many things in modern times on the way. They actually found out that they had the same birthday.
It’s always the 18th day of the twelfth month.
It's just that she is a few years younger than me.
They also talked about their childhood experiences and interesting things that happened in college.
It’s mainly He Yuanyuan who tells the story, and I enjoy listening to it.
This person's little mouth is like a pink Gatling gun, and he talks nonstop.
But regardless of what she said, Huanxi also liked to hear it. Mainly because she had been in ancient times for so long, she sometimes forgot that she came from the modern era, that beautiful era.
Amid her endless chatter, Huanxi finally arrived in town.
I went to the place where the plaque was to be hung and asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper said that it could be delivered the next day. So I happily decided to stay there for one night and return to the village the next day.
Anyway, she has guards at home now, so she has nothing to worry about.
He Yuanyuan had lived in the prosperous capital before, but she had always been a beggar. So Huanxi took her to stroll around the downtown area and bought her anything interesting they saw.
In her previous life, she was thirty-four, which in ancient times would have allowed her to be the mother of a girl as old as Hongying... Because of this relationship, she looked at these little girls with an inexplicable 'maternal glow'...
"Sister, can I have this?"
"Ah, this is so beautiful..."
"Sister, can I..."
Soon, she was carrying a lot of bags, but she hadn't spent a penny... Although He Yuanyuan ate and took the money, it was like an advance of one month's salary.
She could earn one tael a month, so Huanxi gave her five taels without saying a word and let her go out and play.
It looked like he was asking her for this and that, but in reality, he was just keeping it with Huanxi because he was afraid he would spend too much. After all, people who live paycheck to paycheck can't keep a close eye on their wallets.
The two were strolling on the street when Hongying's voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"Sister Huanxi, who is she? Why does she call you sister?"
