"Have you seen it?" Now it was Xia Qingqing's turn to be surprised. She quickly asked, "Is this it?"

Shen San seemed to be thinking of something sad, and murmured, "When I was trying to treat Hu Niuniu's mother's illness, I once passed by a house and asked for water. I saw a chair like this hanging in the courtyard."

"At the time, I was in a hurry and didn't ask anything. It's a pity to think about it all these years later."

He didn't expect to see it again today, and even the dimensions were clearly marked.

"Where is the place?"

"Ah, it's been so long. I just remember it was in a village east of Yaocheng. As for the name..."

Seeing him scratching his head, Xia Qingqing said, "It's okay, I'm just asking casually."

Maybe because of Xiao Mu’s incident, Xia Qingqing thought for a moment that there was another time traveler.

Now that I think about it, it’s really ridiculous. How could there be so many time travelers?

Perhaps Xiao Mu and his wife had made this kind of chair before.

"Master Xia, please have some tea."

Hu Niu's voice came, Xia Qingqing turned around, took the tea and said, "Thank you." She looked up: Wow, this girl is tall and strong, with a very sturdy figure.

But she looks very beautiful, like a Barbie doll.

This figure really gives me a sense of security.

Hu Niu's face flushed slightly, and she turned around and stood quietly aside, being very well-behaved.

Xia Qingqing communicated some details with Shen San and paid him a deposit and that was it.

The three brothers of the Shen family and the head of the village, Huang, enthusiastically wanted to invite Xia Qingqing and the others to dinner, but she refused.

But before leaving, he glanced at Hu Niu and asked, "Your name is Hu Niu?"

Hu Niu quickly stepped forward and said "hmm." Xia Qingqing continued to ask, "Is it a nickname? Or your real name?"

"My real name," Hu Niu glanced at Shen San and muttered softly, "Actually, I have another nickname, which is..."

"What's your name?" Xia Qingqing asked.

"You have a nickname?" Shen Daniu and others were also surprised, and Shen San also looked at Hu Niu in a daze.

Hu Niu nodded and said, "Mulan, her name is Xia Mulan."

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, she quickly explained, "Grandpa Xiucai gave it to me. I like this name very much."

Xia Qingqing nodded and said, "Mulan... sounds very nice."

Village Chief Shen also agreed: "Mulan is a very nice name, much better than Huniu."

Shen San scratched his head and finally expressed his opinion, saying, "I can't read either, I just wanted to give him a cheap name so that he can be raised..."

This is true. This is the rule left by our ancestors. It is easier to raise a child with a humble name.

The three Shen brothers started giggling, looked at each other and laughed even louder.

The names of these three people don’t seem to sound that good either.

"Suan Xiucai is indeed good in this regard. His names are better than ours," Village Chief Shen turned to look at Hu Niu and said, "Mulan, does he still ask the children to learn to read every day?"

Hu Niu was particularly delighted to hear Chief Shen address her that way, and replied, "I can teach, but no one wants to learn, and the aunts won't let us go, saying we'd be better off cutting grass for pigs if we had that much time."

"Everyone says he wants to be a teacher, he's crazy about it..." Hu Niu curled her lips and said, "Now I'm the only one who goes there occasionally..."

"Mulan, can you read?" Huniu laughed even more happily and said shyly, "Yes, my father will teach me, and so will my grandfather, the scholar."

"Tiger... Mulan is not only literate, but also very strong! She can even carry a pig!" Shen Xiaoniu was very proud, and his eyes were full of doting when he looked at his sister.

"No way..." Mulan said a little embarrassedly. After all, she was a girl, and the villagers always talked about her behind her back because of this matter.

Why do girls need so much strength?

So she was very restrained. In fact, she could carry two pigs!

"That's great!" Xia Qingqing looked at Hu Niu with increasingly passionate eyes, and turned to Shen San and said, "Uncle Shen San, your daughter is so outstanding."

"Ah?" Shen San was a little confused. How could carrying a pig be considered excellent?

"Mulan, are you interested in following me?"

"Ah?" Xia Mulan was a little confused and asked, "What?"

"Follow me, wherever I go you go, and help me with some things." Xia Qingqing thought for a while and realized that she really needed a capable assistant.

Obviously Mulan is suitable and it is convenient to take her out.

"Mulan, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and agree!" Shen Daniu said immediately, "Boss Xia needs a personal maid. This is your blessing!"

Got it!

It even targeted the maid!

Seeing them getting excited, Xia Qingqing quickly said, "She's not a maid. She works for me just like you do, but the job is different."

Everyone seemed to understand, but nodded anyway.

In their eyes, whatever the boss says is what it is, and they just need to do their job well and make money.

"I am willing."

Shen San pushed Mulan, and Xia Mulan immediately agreed.

After hearing this, he finally felt relieved. It would be easier to find a husband if he followed Xia Qingqing in the future.

Her mother would definitely be relieved if she were still alive.

"By the way, if you follow me, you won't be able to go home every day, but you will have time off every month."

"For the first six months, the daily wage is 30 wen, and I'll provide food and lodging. After the next six months, the salary will increase, but how much depends on your current situation."

"I'm willing to do it." Mulan agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Xia Qingqing was very happy and turned to Shen San and said, "Uncle Shen San, when you deliver the first batch of furniture, please bring Mulan with you."

"Okay, okay." Shen San nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with tears from excitement, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

The three brothers of the Shen family felt a lump in their throats and almost shed tears.

Their uncle is finally getting better.

When he gets home, he must tell his father that his father was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night. He had planned to come with them, but he fell asleep in the morning and they didn't disturb him.

"Mulan, come here," Xia Qingqing called out, and Mulan immediately walked to her side. Taking into account her height, Mulan half-knelt down and moved closer to Xia Qingqing.

"The first task assigned to you..."

After whispering, Xia Qingqing looked at Mulan, who had stood up straight again and couldn't help but sigh. She was 1.67 meters tall, which was not short for a woman, but she looked much smaller when standing next to Mulan.

As soon as everyone saw Xia Qingqing and the others off, they saw Shen Xiaosi hurriedly running to the courtyard gate while putting on his coat and asked, "Where is Mr. Xia?"
