Xiao Taozi led the experienced farmers on the farm to direct the tenants in the new farm and the newly hired refugees to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. These people were full of energy and were afraid of being surpassed by others.
Xiao Taozi had said that anyone who performed poorly would be fired. They were all people who cared about their reputations, so it would be so embarrassing to be fired!
Therefore, there is no need for Xiao Taozi to urge them, as they are all very responsible.
Xiao Taozi's grandmother Yun Xiangrong also left the farm to serve Ling Xue. The old lady did not show any reluctance and seemed very positive.
Shizhuangtou's son whispered to Shizhuangtou, "I see my mother is more energetic now than before. It seems that she should go out and do more work."
Shi Zhuangtou squinted his eyes and said nothing, but he nodded in agreement. He also saw that the old woman had been bored with him for so many years.
Now, I finally have the chance to move on. What a great thing!
After Xiao Taozi left, Ling Xue felt unhappy and like something was missing.
The other maids also served very well, but Ling Xue didn't say it out loud, but she felt something was wrong. But if you asked her to explain what was wrong, she couldn't say it.
Ling Xue didn't feel better until Xiao Taozi's grandmother came over!
"Grandma Shi, now that you are here, just let go and do your job. I will leave the things around me to you, and the maids in the mansion will also be in your charge. If anyone disobeys, go find Shen Zhen. The servants in the mansion all listen to him."
Ling Xue was very happy about Grandma Shi's arrival. She finally had help.
Yun Xiangrong was very happy about Ling Xue's warm treatment. Even the most indifferent person likes to be noticed by others, and Yun Xiangrong was just like that.
She tactfully suggested to Ling Xue, "Young Master, please call me Nanny Yun. That way I can better manage those maids. Otherwise, I won't have any authority."
Ling Xue was quite happy to follow suit. It was just a name after all. Nanny Yun liked to call her that, so she would call her that!
"Okay, then I will call you Nanny Yun from now on. My life depends on you from now on." Ling Xue chatted with Nanny Yun with a smile.
Nanny Yun was very confident: "Don't worry, young master, I will make sure you don't have to worry about these trivial matters in life anymore!"
After the two of them had agreed, Nanny Yun went to train the maids.
Ling Xue was quite surprised to see Xiao Taozi's grandmother so energetic. She had heard Xiao Taozi say before that her grandmother came from the palace and was said to have almost become an empress. However, her grandmother did not like palace life and when she reached a certain age, she asked the empress for grace to leave the palace.
It was worth it that her grandfather waited for her outside the palace for so many years. At that time, many people in the village advised her grandfather to marry someone else, but he refused. Fortunately, the result was good, and the lovers finally got married!
Ling Xue had been constantly replicating sweet potato cuttings these days, not daring to slack off for fear of running out of plants. Fortunately, her cornucopia was quite strong, barely enough to supply the farm.
The sweet potato vines she is copying now are for use on the wasteland cleared for the refugees. Although there are not many there, they can be planted slowly.
These refugees looked at the vast fields they had opened up behind them, and they felt a sense of accomplishment. Even though these fields were not as good as those mature and fertile fields, they had opened them up with their own hoes, and they valued them very much.
The refugees who came alone to open up wasteland would build a shack in the field to live in. Those with families were more particular and would at least build an adobe house, which was much more comfortable than a shack.
