Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

The next day, they moved as Du Wenchan had arranged, and asked the woman who moved jars in the workshop to help with loading the truck and moving, and they finished the work quickly.

"Congratulations, Madam Du, on your new home." Wu Sanmei took the purse handed over by Du Wenchan and congratulated her repeatedly.

Du Wenxiu and the others readily agreed, but because they still had to go to work, they did not invite them to dinner.

The whole family had a meal happily and lively, which warmed the house.

Du Wenxiu naturally lived in the main house. The courtyard was large, and there were several rooms in the east and west wing. The larger east wing even had a suite.

"From now on, when guests come to our house, we don't have to worry about not having enough accommodation." Du Wenchan couldn't hide the joy on her face.

A Luo insisted on living in the west wing and arranged the suite in the east wing for Du Wenchan.

Du Wenxiu met Zhang Yapo again, but it was not about the house.

Our family has grown and our business is busy, so we should have some more people.

"I followed Madam Du's instructions. I brought some maids with me. Madam Du can keep any good ones she likes. If she doesn't like any, I'll bring someone new to choose another day."

Zhang Yapo and Du Wenxiu were no strangers. Although she spoke politely, she showed some sincerity in her words.

"Of course I trust Aunt Zhang, why not call her over to take a look first."

Zhang Yapo went out with three or five other women and five or six little maids. They stood in two rows, all with their heads down and not saying a word. They seemed to be well-behaved.

After coaxing Haisheng to sleep, A'luo also came out to watch the fun. Du Wenchan moved a chair next to her and asked her to sit down.

A Luo glanced at Du Wenxiu, and couldn't resist Du Wenchan pulling her clothes, so she sat on half of the chair reluctantly.

Du Wenxiu looked at the little girls below. The oldest one looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

Thinking back to when I first met Qiao'er, she was clearly of that age, but looked a few years younger, and I couldn't help but empathize with these children in front of me.

"I thought Madam Du would need something useful right away when she moved in, but I didn't bring anything smaller."

Zhang Yapo explained with a smile.

Du Wenxiu sighed inwardly. In this world where human life is worthless, if he could come to his home, he could at least have enough food to eat.

"How old are you all, what are your names, and where are you from?"

When several girls heard the question, they all raised their heads.

The younger one was still ignorant and looked confused, not knowing what to do. He looked at the two or three older girls.

One of the girls with slightly darker skin hesitated for a moment, and when she saw that the others did not move, she stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

"My name is Qingtao, I'm twelve years old this year, but I don't remember where I came from. I only remember that my home is in the mountains, and it takes two days and two nights to walk out."

Du Wenxiu liked her a little bit because she had a few freckles on her face, had pretty eyes and eyebrows, was friendly, and spoke in an organized manner.

I couldn't help but ask softly: "What do you know?"

Qing Tao replied, "I used to serve the young lady of a merchant's house. Later, the young lady was seduced by a villain, and the mistress got angry and sold all of us who served her personally."

"When I was serving the young lady, I took care of her dowry and clothes, and I could read a few words."

Du Wenxiu nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Grandma Zhang asked Qingtao to stand up and stand aside before calling the next one to come up.

"I am Chunlan, a servant who used to serve in the courtyard of the wife of the former county magistrate. Later, something happened in my family and I was sold. I am eleven years old this year. I can keep some simple accounts and know a few words."

Du Wenxiu saw that she had fair skin, slender fingers, and a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows, as if she was somewhat unwilling to accept her situation.

When she said this, Du Wenxiu suddenly remembered the county magistrate who had escaped before Fan Zhaodai became the county magistrate, and he probably knew her origins.

The reason I want to add more people is so that they can start working right away. I don't want to spend the time to train or conquer anyone.

She looked at another older girl. She saw that her hands and feet were big and rough, as if she was someone who worked frequently.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a while, Zhang Yapo hurried forward and pulled her to the front to stand still.

"I... My name is Daya, I'm twelve years old this year, my family... My father was injured while hunting, and he needed money to treat his injury, so my mother sold me."

She was honest and stammered, but she spoke clearly and completely.

"I can't read yet, but I'm willing to learn. If grandma is willing to teach me, I will definitely learn very quickly. I have learned all the martial arts that my father taught me very well."

Once the conversation started, Daya was no longer shy and expressed her ideas fluently.

"She looks like a clever child." A'luo liked her straightforwardness and her honest appearance.

Daya looked up and smiled at her, then under the guidance of Zhang Yapo, stood in a row next to the other two girls.

Chunlan moved aside with a bit of disgust, as if she was very unwilling to stand with her.

"Those two are still too young. They can't do any work at home."

Du Wenxiu explained to Zhang Yapo with a smile, and then asked the two children to go and eat fruit with Du Wenchan.

Grandma Zhang Ya smiled and asked a few old women to stand in front. Then some of them came forward and prepared to introduce themselves with a smile.

"Huh?" Suddenly, A Luo narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion to the group of people.

Du Wenxiu looked at her, but she stood up from the chair and walked in front of the few people.

"You are...you are someone who came out of the Du family, right?" A Luo asked one of the women hesitantly.

The woman raised her head with a bitter look on her face, staring at A Luo blankly, seeming very confused.

"Ms. Le, Mr. Du, do you know? Do you still remember?" A Luo's eyes sparkled and he couldn't help but pull her arm.

The woman seemed startled and suddenly dodged back. She wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't help looking at A Luo's face.

"You...is your name...A Luo?" She seemed to be overwhelmed by the distant memories, with a look of confusion in her eyes, and asked hesitantly.

"Oh, it's really you. I've been looking at you for a long time and you look very familiar!" A Luo exclaimed in surprise and turned to look at Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't believe it and slowly stood up.

"Oh, what's the point of that? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"

As Luo spoke, his voice trembled a little, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe them away.

Du Wenchan felt that something was wrong and hurried over.

"Aunt, what's wrong? Did you meet an old friend?"

With tears in his eyes, A Luo looked at Du Wenchan, grabbed her hand, his nostrils twitching and he choked with sobs.

"This, this child is..." The woman looked at Du Wenchan with complicated emotions in her eyes.

"No, no, this is Chan'er, my daughter." A Luo explained hurriedly.

"Oh, he's grown so big." The woman sighed, her eyes full of disappointment.

Her daughter is already this big.

"Hey, you left in such a hurry that I don't even know your name."

Seeing Du Wenxiu standing far away without moving, A Luo changed the subject and asked her.

The woman smiled softly and said slowly, "It's been a long time since I left. I don't even remember what my name was. Now many people call me Qi Sanniang, so you can call me that too."
