Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After saying this, the yard fell into a strange silence again.

Although Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are not completely socially phobic, they are not socially bully either. If they were to chat with Mr. Jiang, they would only end up in the same awkward situation as before.

Young Master Jiang had been out with his family since he was young, and he had developed the ability to read people's expressions. Seeing the constipated expressions on their faces, it was impossible not to guess what they were thinking.

But as a teenager, he had seldom come into contact with people of their class, so he could not find any topic to talk about.

There was a long silence.

"Aunts, I'll go back to my room and rest first. I didn't sleep well last night because I was a bit reluctant to sleep in my bed." Young Master Jiang pretended to yawn.

"Okay, go to bed." The two felt relieved.

Mr. Jiang closed the door and lay down on the bed, regretting a little bit for staying here. He just hoped that Aji would come back soon. He used to dislike Aji for being nagging and noisy, but now he missed him even more.

He really didn't sleep well last night. When he lay on the bed, he felt so sleepy that he fell asleep without realizing it.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin went to the kitchen. They had to tell the children about Mr. Jiang staying at home.

"Come and sit down, we want to talk to you about something."

The children came and sat at the table.

"Then Mr. Jiang is determined to live in our house. Your Aunt Duan and I agreed without asking for your opinion. Do you have any opinions?"

The children shook their heads like rattles.

They could hear clearly that Mr. Jiang said he would give them five taels of silver a day. Where could they find such a good job? If possible, the children would like him to stay with them forever.

Besides, even if they didn’t give them money, they would have no objection to anything the two mothers decided.

Seeing the children shaking their heads, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these children shared their love of money.

"It's good that everyone has no objection. Then we will try to accommodate him during the few days he stays here. After all, he is our big money sponsor. If you feel uncomfortable, just stay away. You don't have to go up to him to serve him. We will take care of everything. If you are interested in chatting with him, that's fine. He has seen a lot of things in the places he has been to. It will be helpful for you to listen. I don't think Mr. Jiang is the kind of person who is difficult to get along with. You are about the same age and may have more common topics."

"Just one thing, you girls must not be alone with him for too long, especially when you are talking outside, there should be at least three of you together. The world is always harsher on women, and mother doesn't want those gossipy women in the village to take the opportunity to make up stories about you." Duan Minmin continued.

"To the outside world, just tell them that the nobles from Mr. Zhang's mansion like the country life and are staying at our house. Of course, if you hear any rumors, just come back and tell us, and we will definitely help you get justice. The same goes for you guys, you have to protect these sisters when you go out. Got it?"

"understood!"

"Got it." The three boys nodded solemnly.

"Okay, that's all we have to say. There's not much we can do in this weather today, Hui Niang, you can continue to take them to the main room to make clothes. You guys, come with us, let's take this opportunity to plant the vegetables."

The children were given their own things and went to get them happily. They felt uneasy sitting there doing nothing.

Zheng Yuan took out the vegetable seeds he bought at the market last time and took them to the backyard.

The land had been plowed before. It had rained in the past two days and the mud had been soaked by the rain. Now was the perfect time to plant vegetables.

It’s just that there has been a lot of rain in the past two days, so the ridges need to be made a little higher so that the seeds will not be washed away.

The two men directed Dashu Erhe to divide the land into four small pieces with high ridges, and then they spread the seeds evenly on them.

Watching the two people's actions, Dashu and Erhe wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, Dashu couldn't help but said: "Mom, there is no need to plant these seeds so densely. It's a waste and they won't grow big."

Zheng Yuan raised his head and said, "I am raising seedlings now. When they grow up, we will transplant the ones that are growing well into the ground, so that the survival rate will be high. The previous method of planting one seed in one pit cannot guarantee that all seeds are good, nor can it guarantee that the seedlings can grow smoothly. I raise seedlings first and then transplant them. Although I use more seeds, the vegetables grown in the end will be more uniform and better. It's the same as planting rice seedlings, which requires raising seedlings first. Who will plant seeds one by one? It's the same principle."

"Besides, those newly grown vegetable seedlings are so fresh and tender. We can save some for a fresh meal later."

Dashu and Erhe nodded, as if this was the truth.

There was not much to do, and soon all the seeds had been sown. Zheng Yuan found a branch and swept the soil evenly over the seeds, and asked Dashu Erhe to bring a basket of pig manure and sprinkle it on top. While applying fertilizer, it was also to ensure that the seeds would not be washed away in heavy rain or that the vegetable ground would be hardened and the seeds would not grow.

Just as I finished, it started to rain again.

They washed off the mud and returned to the front yard. Mr. Jiang hadn't woken up yet. It was already noon, and Zheng Yuan didn't know whether to prepare lunch for him.

Another reason is that Aji hasn’t come back yet, and she can’t cook anything without the ingredients.

After thinking about it, she decided not to do it for the time being and went to the main room to see the girls' progress.

The girls were very quiet. Young Master Jiang was sleeping in the next room. They didn't dare to make a sound and just kept their heads down, busying themselves with the things in their hands.

When a few people went in, they felt the air began to circulate.

"Dashu, Erhe, go add some more fire." The charcoal fire was almost out, and the girls didn't even add some to the stove. When they went in, they felt there was no temperature at all.

Neither of them had ever done needlework before, and now they felt it was amazing to see the girls sewing with needles in their hands. As they watched, their eyes started to dry up and they kept dozing off.

I haven't had such a leisurely moment since I came here.

But it's really boring now. I didn't buy any melon seeds or snacks in a hurry when I went to the market last time. There are no sweet potatoes or potatoes at this time, so I can't even get anything I want to roast in the brazier.

It had rained for two days, and there must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. The two were a little tempted. But if they left the children at home, they were afraid that they would not be able to handle it if Mr. Jiang got up. After thinking about it, they sat back on the stool.

With nothing to do, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin simply whispered fairy tales from their previous lives to the children.

The first to appear is Snow White.

"Once upon a time, there was an emperor in a distant country. His queen gave birth to a princess whose skin was like snow..."

......

"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

The two of them chatted back and forth, imitating the tone of the characters in the story, making it vivid and interesting.

The children had never heard of such a story before. They were so fascinated by the dwarfs and the poisoned apples in the story that they started to talk louder without realizing it.

With a creak, Mr. Jiang opened the door and walked out.

Everyone in the room fell silent immediately. Zheng Yuan stood up and said embarrassedly, "Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry for disturbing you. I'm hungry now. Can I go and cook?"

"Nothing, I'm awake now, and I'm not hungry for the time being, so don't worry. Your stories are very interesting, can I sit down and listen?"

It turns out that he was attracted by the story, and he was still a child.

So Mr. Jiang also sat in the main room and listened to Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin adapt those modern stories and tell them vividly.

The children were fascinated by the story and the whole afternoon passed quietly during the storytelling.

Sizhu was the most excited. He kept pestering the two and asked if he could also go to the mountains to find the seven dwarfs. Would the apples be delicious if they were not poisonous?

Unable to bear the thought of destroying his innocence, the two of them said that this happened far away and that there would be no such things on this mountain. They told him to work hard in the future and try to get to the other side of the mountain.
