It was only held out in the sky, and all the people in the world looked up.
On the night of the 14th, the moon in the sky was round and bright. After dinner, Xiao Ming and others moved chairs and put them in the yard and began to enjoy the moon in advance. There were many melon and fruit snacks, fruit wine, and cans, which were placed on the Together, the family sat around eating moon cakes and talking.
Chen Yuanze sat next to Xiao Ming and drank wine from time to time. He would have a glass of every kind of fruit wine. He remembered how grand he was when he promised to give his sister fruit wine and canned food. For her sister, she said that she had him at home. He still didn't believe Nan, but when he saw it, he was really speechless. Sister Qing didn't lie to him, and he even sent him a big car. It was a pity that he didn't live in the car of fruit wine, and was taken away by the house. My brothers, sisters, and cousins begged for a lot.
"Don't drink too much, be careful with your stomach." Xiao Ming advised.
"It's okay, I have a good capacity for drinking." Chen Yuanze said nonchalantly. He put down the grape wine and drank another glass of pear wine. He didn't know how much he drank. At this time, his words smelled of alcohol. It seemed that Getting drunk.
The yard was very lively. Xiao Han and the other kids were playing and chasing each other. Unfortunately, Jiang Xiangyuan was not here. She went straight home when she returned to the city and would not come here until after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult with her, the king of children, here. It’s lively.
"Hello, aunt." A young boy came over under the moonlight. Seeing Xiao Ming hesitate to speak, the boy under the moonlight was very nervous.
"Ming Sheng." Xiao Ming recognized it. It was Ming Sheng. He was very frail after a serious illness. His body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his shadow was stretched by the moonlight.
"Are you feeling better? You're still used to being here."
Ming Sheng nodded and said gratefully: "Very good, thank you, aunt." Although he was about the same age as Xiao Ming, he still recognized Aunt Xiao Ming along with Bai Xiaoyu and the others. Not only him, but all of them also had a deep respect for Xiao Ming. I am very respectful to this savior.
Although they are very respectful, Ming Sheng and the others are uneasy because Yi's mother did not arrange any work for them today. They are afraid that they will be kicked out by Xiao Ming and go back to their old life, so they take advantage of the fact that their aunt is here tonight. , he stood up.
"Auntie, if you have any errands, just ask us, we can all do the work." Ming Sheng said, even signing a deed of sale is okay. Several other children, including Bai Xiaoyu, all looked at this place and were very nervous.
"I know, you should rest for a few days, at least after the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is not much work at home, so you can just help Mother Yi and Uncle Ming do what you can." Xiao Ming said, she knew that not assigning work would make it difficult These people are very restless and feel like outsiders without a sense of stability.
There is not much work at home. The heavier work is taken care of by Uncle Ming and Yi Feng. The only chores they can do are picking vegetables in the morning, watering, taking care of the orchard, and the herbs under the fruit trees. Doing some cleaning work is within their capabilities.
"You all come here." Xiao Ming called the other six people over and asked them to sit down next to her. After looking at a few people, he said: "You are still children. Now that you are young, you can help the family with some light things. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will arrange for you to study. You can choose to study, practice martial arts, study medicine or learn some other skills."
Mother Yi sat on the edge and listened, but opened and closed her eyes. Xiao Ming's words made several people very excited. They could study and practice martial arts, which their parents did not dare to think about before. You must know that studying It's so expensive that even a family can't afford a scholar without food or drink.
"No matter what you choose, you must study hard for me. You only have this chance. Even if you want to take the exam in the future, I can still afford it." Xiao Ming said seriously. After learning well, it will be the foundation for them to settle down and live their lives, no matter what Whether they study to gain fame and enter the official career, or become a teacher, or least of all, a bookkeeper, a martial artist, or other professions, they can gain a good foothold in this society and use their own skills to make a living.
Ming Sheng was excited when he heard this, but he calmed down after the excitement. He was the oldest and naturally understood more reasons. Why would Xiao Ming support and support them for free? What would they have to pay?
"Aunt, we..." Ming Sheng said and lowered his head. They had nothing, so what could they give in exchange for it?
"There are conditions for me to do this. I will train you before you are eighteen years old. After you are eighteen years old, you must work for me for ten years." Xiao Ming said, this kind of thing was very common in the previous life, and in modern times, big companies will support some Excellent poor students will work for her for ten or twenty years after completing their studies. She is equivalent to cultivating talents for herself in advance. She just does not let them sign a contract of sale and treat them as slaves to buy their freedom for a lifetime.
"You can agree to this condition."
"Agreed, thank you, aunt." Mingsheng nodded excitedly. What could be better than this? They only have to spend ten years to learn a skill.
Not only Ming Sheng, but also several other younger people nodded in agreement. They were not stupid, why didn't they agree to such a good thing.
"Okay, you guys think about what you want to learn first. I will make arrangements for you after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Thank you, aunt." Everyone thanked them in unison.
"Girl, isn't ten years too short?" After they dispersed, Yi's mother came over and asked. In wealthy families, children are also bought and raised, but these are lifelong servitudes. This kind of The children who are bought will be slaves throughout their lives and will be servants for generations to come. Only those who have made great contributions will be issued slave status by their masters. The girl spends great efforts to train them and only allows them to serve for ten years. This It's also too broken.
"No defense, if they are willing to stay in ten years, I will naturally welcome them." A loyal and grateful person will remember her kindness all his life and continue to work for her. Those who are unfaithful in mind and have different intentions will not be able to keep him even if they are forced to do so. Xiao Ming doesn't care about this kind of person, so he might as well let him go as soon as possible.
"Xiaoyu and the other three girls have mother Lao Yi to help teach them." Xiao Ming said that she had observed Bai Xiaoyu and the other girls. Only Bai Xiaoyu was suitable to study medicine with her. Meihua and Cuihua might as well learn some needlework from Yi's mother. , it will be easier to find a good home in the future.
Mother Yi's hands are very red. Liu Lin and the three of them have been learning from Mother Yi for several months, and now they can embroider clothes. Mei Hua and Cuihua can learn one and a half tricks from Mother Yi, which will benefit them for life.
Chen Yuanze beside him had fallen asleep at some point. His cheeks were flushed, his nose was flaring and he was snoring slightly. The smell of alcohol hit his face. He didn't know how much alcohol he drank. Xiao Ming waved the smell of alcohol around him with his hand. Son, shouted: "Laifu, help your young master back to his room quickly."
"Hey!" Laifu responded and ran over to help Chen Yuanze back to his room.
