I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei nodded: "Grandma Fu, you say, I will do my best!"

Ji Xiaobei wants to move out of here, but he hasn't told Mrs. Fu yet.

She was a little hesitant in her heart. If she said it out loud, the old lady would definitely be very sad.

Old Madam Fu took Ji Xiaobei's hand and sat down: "Xiaobei, I didn't discipline Madam Gui well. She broke the family rules. Chang'er has sent someone to send her back to her hometown in the south.

Chang'er's father had told her to be kind to him before he died, but what she did was completely unscrupulous. She is the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, so she cannot be beaten to death. She can only be allowed to go back and reflect on her mistakes and repent..."

Ji Xiaobei didn't say anything. How to deal with Mrs. Gui was the Fu family's business. She deserved to die, and he would not plead for her anyway.

"Grandma Fu, what can I do for you?"

"Xiaobei, the maids and servants in the courtyards of Mingyi Lane have all been sold off, and we need to buy a new batch. Chang'er is so busy that we can't see him all day. Grandma can only trouble you for help."

Ji Xiaobei quickly declined: "Grandma Fu, your housekeeper can do this, I have no experience!"

"If you don't have experience once, you will have experience next time. Besides, there is still Aunt Zhang!"

The old lady touched her hand with a loving look on her face.

Ji Xiaobei: …

"If you don't agree, it means you are still angry!" Grandma Fu said angrily.

"No, I don't... Then I'll give it a try. If I don't do well, Grandma Fu, don't blame me!" Ji Xiaobei agreed reluctantly.

"Grandma likes your straightforwardness. From now on, the children can go wherever they want in Mingyi Lane and these courtyards! You don't have to move. This place is big enough for the children to have fun!"

Old Mrs. Fu said with a smile.

Ji Xiaobei looked at Mrs. Fu in confusion: This is your home, not my home!

Mrs. Fu said happily, "I am old now, I like lively places and children. With An An, we only have three children. It would be nice if there were more!"

Ji Xiaobei was even more puzzled: How about setting up a children's welfare home for you and letting you be the director?

These days, Mingyi Lane is bustling with activity, with servants busy cleaning the yard.

Nanny Zhang called Old Huang back from the textile workshop and put him in charge again.

Ji Xiaobei went to several human flesh markets and bought the person, who was then reviewed by Nanny Zhang and Steward Huang.

The handicraft workshop was even more lively, and Xiaoqi and Danfeng became everyone's martial arts masters.

After working for an hour, the embroiderers and seamstresses would go to the yard to kick their legs, stretch their backs, and stretch their muscles.

After ten days or so, many people's body aches and pains were relieved.

Work efficiency has also improved a lot.

People who used to sew one piece of clothing every day now have finished their get off work before they get off work.

In the workshop, wages are calculated by piecework, so of course the workers want to do more.

Aunt Song laughed and said, "At first, these women were reluctant to go out for fear of delaying their earnings. Now, they are in good shape, exercising and making more money."

Second Wife Ji came over and said, "You know, Mrs. Wang hasn't been home for a whole day and night! Her two daughters-in-law are going crazy!"

Aunt Song was surprised: "It's so chaotic outside, they won't be robbed by refugees, right?"

Ji Ernai curled her lips and said, "Humph! Would refugees take away an old woman?

I heard that she had nothing to do during the day so she was with Wang Laowu next door, and Wang Laowu disappeared and took away all his things. "

Aunt Song: Oh my god, Mrs. Wang brought her two daughters-in-law out, but the daughters-in-law didn’t run away with anyone, but she couldn’t hold back and ran away with someone…

Liang Yuyao saw that the women in the workshop were full of energy, so she secretly asked Danfeng if she could teach her.

Danfeng nodded vigorously.

The girl is weak, so more exercise can strengthen her body and reduce the risk of illness.

But Liang Yuyao couldn't save her face, so she asked Danfeng to teach her alone in the room.

Danfeng’s idea was very simple. A girl often goes out, and if she encounters a bad guy, she can escape if she runs fast.

So the master and the servant closed the door.

Practicing humming and hawing in the house.

The Zizhu Courtyard, Cuilu Courtyard and Magnolia Courtyard in Mingyi North Lane have all been cleaned up and look brand new.

Old Mrs. Fu asked Ji Xiaobei and his family to move to the Zizhu Courtyard, which was a three-courtyard yard and more comfortable to live in.

Ji Xiaobei stubbornly refused to go: The yard is yours, how can I live here casually?

No, absolutely not.

Old Huang had the bluestone slabs in Mingyi Lane repaired to make them more stable.

Children run and don't fall.

Every day Caixia and Heita stood at one end of the alley and the other end, preventing the three children from leaving the alley.

Little Juanmao and Ji Deyan ran around following the three of them.

Old Mrs. Fu sat in the alley, calling out the names of her three children: Guoguo, Zhengzheng, Anan...

Ji Xiaobei: ...This has really become a children's playground

Old Mrs. Fu is the director’s grandmother.

On this day, Old Mrs. Fu was sitting in the alley enjoying her family time.

A carriage drove in.

The three children were caught by Heita and Caixia and held up.

As soon as Old Lady Murong entered the alley, she heard a child crying. Puzzled, she lifted the curtain and looked over.

Old Mrs. Fu had a kind face and she couldn't stop smiling as she looked at the three children.

"Old sister!" Old Mrs. Murong called affectionately.

When Mrs. Fu saw that it was Mrs. Murong, she stood up and greeted her with a smile.

"Why are you here, little sister?" asked Old Mrs. Fu.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to see you!"

Old Mrs. Murong got out of the car and glanced at the three children in the alley.

"What is this?" she asked curiously.

"That one is the grandson, and that one is the granddaughter!" said Mrs. Fu with a smile.

"Ah..." Old Mrs. Murong was stunned.

Mr. Fu hasn’t even gotten married yet, so where do the grandchildren come from?

Old Mrs. Fu must be missing her child like crazy!

She suddenly remembered that Mrs. Fu was not in a clear mind and sometimes she would mistake people.

She smiled and said, "Good, the children are so nice!"

The two old ladies supported each other as they walked in.

Go inside and sit down and chat.

Old Lady Murong had a gloomy look on her face, and she sighed and said, "My eldest son works in the Salt and Iron Bureau. People say it's a lucrative job, but with so many people watching him, he'll be easily singled out for blame if there's any disturbance.

My eldest son has not been doing well recently, and I would like to ask Master Fu to take care of him more."

Old Madam Fu smiled calmly and said, "My Chang'er is a minor judge in Anzhou. How can he be in charge of the affairs of the capital? You think too highly of him. Come, have some tea!"

Old Lady Murong smiled awkwardly, took a sip of tea and said, "Although Chang'er is the judge in Anzhou, His Majesty values ​​him very much..."

Old Mrs. Murong refused to give up and wanted to continue talking.

Old Mrs. Fu stood up and said, "I'll take you to the front yard. I just had someone bring a new variety of peony from the south. If you like it, dig some up!"
