"Sister-in-law, if you treat me as a friend, don’t say these words that don’t add any trouble, and I won’t tell you the truth. It’s actually selfish of me to hire someone to wait on you. I think if I hire someone to wait on you, Brother Qingshan will have more time to help me. Sister-in-law, you won’t blame me for exploiting Brother Qingshan so much, will you?" Zhang Ting said to his daughter-in-law Qingshan with a smile.
Castle Peak Daughter-in-law’s face is in distress situation after hearing Zhang Ting’s words. This small court can make herself feel at ease and accept her help. It’s so disgusting to say that Castle Peak Daughter-in-law holds Zhang Ting tightly and her eyes are red. She said to Zhang Ting, "I really don’t know what to say. Thank you for saying two words to you."
"Sister-in-law, since you say so, I’ll take it as your promise. I’ll talk to my second aunt about it. There are many people in the village, and I’ll ask her to help us find it." Zhang Ting smiled and told Qingshan’s daughter-in-law
Seeing that Qingshan’s daughter-in-law and mother are in urgent need of someone to take care of Zhang Ting, she will not stay in this house. After chatting with Hao Qingshan’s daughter-in-law, she got up and went to the Wangs to find Aunt Wang.
When Zhang Ting came here, Aunt Wang took care of a baby while taking care of the workers. This baby was none other than Ding Niang’s daughter. These days, because she was carefully taken care of by Aunt Wang at the Wangs, the little guy’s face turned a little rosy. When she smiled, there were two lovely dimples.
"The small court is coming". In the courtyard, Aunt Ding Xiaocao Wang saw Zhang Ting coming in and said hello to Zhang Ting with a smile on his face.
Zhang Ting smiled and shouted "Aunt Wang" to Aunt Wang. After that, Zhang Ting stepped up a little and went to Aunt Wang to see Ding Niang, the daughter.
"Auntie, this little guy seems to look much better than when he first came here. It’s cute. This little guy" Zhang Ting was fascinated by the cute little appearance of others at the sight of Ding Niang’s daughter. Although this little guy has such a weak father, this little guy is not bad. After all, he chooses the advantages of her parents.
Aunt Wang kissed the little guy’s forehead and looked up at Zhang Ting and said, "Xiaoting, you are seventeen this year, right? Hao Ren is thirteen or fourteen. Can you get married early?"
When Zhang Ting heard this, he teased the little guy to move for a while. Zhang Ting smiled awkwardly and said to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Hao Ren and I are not in a hurry, and we all have our own things to do now, and we are not in the mood to get married. Let’s talk about this later."
Aunt Wang a listen to a little don’t agree, going to seriously tell Zhang Ting this thing like "small court, this thing can’t drag you and Hao Ren have something to do after the marriage, you can continue to do it, but the sooner you do it, the better it will be, and the same aunt won’t hurt you."
"Auntie, I know you’re me and Hao Ren. We’ll talk about it later. Auntie, I’m looking for you today because I need your help. See if you can help me find an old man who can wait on people for the Lunar New Year. I want to ask her to wait on Mrs. Castle Peak." Zhang Ting spread himself out to tell Auntie Wang this time
Aunt Wang didn’t ask Zhang Ting what to give Hao Qingshan’s family a man to sit on the moon. Because every family in the village has something, the villagers still know a little, like Aunt Wang of Hao Qingshan’s family.
"Now that you are up in the small court, I think of someone in the village who can help the Qingshan family. This person is a lonely old woman at the head of the village. Everyone in the village calls her three old ladies. Speaking of this, three old ladies is also a poor girl. It is said in the village that three old ladies was sold by her family to an adult in the city as a maid when she was young, and then she was returned by her master’s family. Within a few months, her belly became bigger, and the child was born less than a day later. After that, three old ladies’s parents lost, and she lived alone until now."
After hearing this sentence from Aunt Wang, Zhang Ting suddenly remembered that when she went out of the village several times, she also saw an old woman with a strong body of more than 50. Every day, she carried a hoe to the field to get her acre of land. Occasionally, Zhang Ting would see her coming from the mountain with a firewood on her back.
"three old ladies, then. Tell three old ladies about this matter. Tell her to go to Aoyama’s wife today to help her with her wages. Give her ten pence a day. Help Aoyama’s wife cook a lunch and dinner, and just change the small stones into laundry." Zhang Ting looked at Aoyama and said.
Aunt Wang got up and put Ding Xiaocao in her arms in Zhang Ting’s arms. "Then you hold Ding Xiaocao and I’ll tell three old ladies about it. She’s also hard enough. If the villagers hadn’t given her help in winter, I’m afraid she would have starved to death. This time you gave her this job, she’ll be so miserable in winter."
Speaking of which, Aunt Wang held Zhang Ting’s hand and said, "Xiaoting, you are really a lucky star in Haojia Village. Now so many people in Haojia Village have been taken care of by you, otherwise the villagers will be as sad as usual this winter."
Zhang Ting still held the little guy in his arms and looked at Zhang Ting, the little guy who had just eaten and fallen asleep. He couldn’t move all over. When he saw Aunt Wang leaving, Zhang Ting hurriedly told Aunt Wang’s back, "Aunt Wang, come back quickly when you finish talking. If she cries, I can’t handle this little guy."
"I’ll be back when I’m finished. You take Ding Xiaocao with you. She’s very good. She won’t cry if she’s full. Don’t worry." Aunt Wang told me that when she finished this sentence, her mouth was smiling, which made people feel like she was up to something bad.
Chapter 159 Read and write
In the courtyard, Zhang Ting is holding the little guy in his arms with trepidation and looking down at the sleeping little guy. The more he looks at Zhang Tingyue, the more interesting the child is. He can still smile when he is asleep. Probably, the little guy’s face smile is so charming that Zhang Ting forgot to hold this soft little guy nervous for a while. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
Just as Zhang Ting was looking at the little guy in his arms, a little sneaky figure hovered at the door until this little figure lingered long enough, and then slowly came in from the outside and shouted "Sister Zhang Ting" to Zhang Ting in front of Zhang Ting.
Holding the little guy Zhang Ting, I heard this little sound coming from around me and looked up and smiled. "It turned out to be a hill. Is it for your mother?"
Hao Xiaoshan shook his head gently, pursed his lips, hesitated, bit his lip, looked up at Zhang Ting, held his breath and said to Zhang Ting, "Sister Zhang Ting, I’m here to see you."
Zhang Ting stopped holding Ding Xiaocao and looked at Hao Xiaoshan’s funny head. He asked, "What can I do for you?"
Now Zhang Ting really can’t figure out why this little guy Hill is looking for himself. Now Hao Dashan works with Jia Lin and has a certain income every day. He doesn’t go to the mountain to do dangerous hunting as before. Hao Dashan’s daughter-in-law is doing things in Zhang Ting Square. Now their home is one of the joys and sorrows.
Hao Xiaoshan bowed his head and looked at his toes shyly for a long time before he said to Zhang Ting, "Sister Zhang Ting, can I read with you like Hao Gui and others?"
Zhang Ting looked at it and almost buried his face in the neck hill with a low smile. He pulled him near to his side and smiled and asked him, "Do you want to follow Hao Gui and them to read with me? Can you tell Sister Zhang Ting how you remembered to learn this?"
Hao Xiaoshan finally dared to raise his head slowly when he heard Zhang Ting’s gentle voice, but he still didn’t dare to keep looking at Zhang Ting and Zhang Ting for a while. The horse was shy and left his eyes elsewhere. The answer was a little small, but it didn’t prevent Zhang Ting from listening clearly. "Sister Zhang Ting, I don’t want to be illiterate like my father and mother. I want to be as literate as you and Hao Renge and Hao Yige."
Zhang Ting really didn’t expect this little Hao Xiaoshan to be so ambitious. I’m afraid there aren’t many children as old as him in this village who think so far about their own future. Is it really that poor children take charge early?
"Ok, I have a big ambition. Since you like to read, you go to Hao’s house every afternoon. I will teach Hao Gui when they read, but I can tell you that it takes a long time to learn to read. You can’t give up halfway." Zhang Ting touched the little guy’s head and said.
Come on, Zhang Ting agreed. Hao Xiaoshan’s children almost jumped up when they were excited. The little guy clenched his little fist and took two steps away first. Then he bent his waist toward Zhang Ting in a serious way and said with excitement to Zhang Ting, "Thank you, Zhang Ting’s sister Zhang Ting. Rest assured, Xiaoshan will study hard and not let Zhang Ting’s sister disappoint you."
Hao Xiaoshan politely said goodbye to Zhang Ting when he got the answer he wanted. After that, the little guy bounced away from Wang Jiayuan.
Watched the Hao Xiaoshan children from the back until the little guy’s back was out of sight. Zhang Ting looked back and bowed his head. Only then did he find himself holding Ding Xiaocao in his arms. To Zhang Ting’s surprise, this little guy woke up without crying or making noise, but stared at her with a pair of intense eyes.
"Little guy, you are so good when you wake up. You don’t cry or make trouble when you wake up." Zhang Ting bowed his head and smiled at the little guy in his arms.
At this moment, Aunt Wang sounded from the outside of the courtyard, "What’s the matter with Hao Dashan’s hill? When I met him on the road just now, the little guy was happy and kept calling me as sweet as eating sugar."
When Zhang Ting heard this sentence from Aunt Wang, she chuckled and didn’t say much. She looked up at Aunt Wang curiously and asked her to go out to do things. "What about Aunt Wang? Did three old ladies promise to help?"
Aunt Wang came over with a smile and pulled a low stool from the side. She smiled and said to Zhang Ting, "Why didn’t you promise three old ladies that you would find her a live horse? She also said that she would need a special door to thank you for giving her the chance to live?"
Zhang Ting chuckled and didn’t take this matter seriously. After three old ladies’s incident, Aunt Wang saw Ding Xiaocao lying quietly in Zhang Ting’s arms and suddenly said with a curious face, "It’s really interesting to have a small court. It’s really a genius for you to hold this child without crying."
Zhang Ting heard this sentence from Aunt Wang and looked down at this little guy. At this time, the little guy’s mouth was bent and he realized this smile. Looking at this lovely and clever Ding Xiaocao, Zhang Ting thought that this ancient custom seemed to have become a mother at her age. I don’t know if it was a long time to stay here. Looking at such a lovely child, her mother’s love was hidden in her heart.
I stayed in the Wangs for half a day until Ding Xiaocao, the little guy, was hungry again. Zhang Ting put her back in Aunt Wang’s hand, then patted her ass and got up and said to Aunt Wang, "It’s much more troublesome for you here. When the village end is built, your side will not be so crowded as it is now."
"What troubles don’t bother our family? It’s only natural that you pay to help you do things. If you say such kind words again, Aunt Wang will be angry." Aunt Wang deliberately put on an unhappy face and looked at Zhang Ting and said.
Zhang Ting also knows that he has been being so polite to others. It’s a bit like not treating people as one of their own. Zhang Ting looks at Aunt Wang with an apologetic smile and says, "I’m sorry, Aunt Wang, but I won’t be polite to you after I made a mistake. I’ll ask you for all the dirty work."
As Zhang Ting’s aunt Wang’s face fell, she smiled and scolded Zhang Ting "smelly girl"
From the Wangs back to Zhang Ting, Hao Jia just got home and saw Hao Renzheng coming out with his horse as if he were going out for a trip.

Chapter 16 Labor
"Where are you going?" Zhang Ting looked at Ma Haoren, who was about to turn over, and quickened his steps, pulling his arm in front of him to ask.
Hao Ren jumped from the horse and led the horse to Zhang Ting and said, "I’m going to go to the city government to pull some labor back for you." Hao Ren’s face was calculated to make others laugh.
Zhang Ting didn’t know what was going on in her heart before she asked Hao Ren, so she took the initiative to explain to her, "I think there are still some people missing at the end of the building site, and there are just a lot of policemen at the end of the yamen who are idle every day. I’ll call them over and we’ll take care of one or two good wines and dishes. They will be happy to come over."
"Yes, I didn’t expect you to think of it here. Then go and ask someone to tell you when you are with me. Then I will treat them with good wine and good food to keep them full." Zhang Ting is very much in favor after hearing Hao Ren’s proposal.
As far as she knows, there are a lot of things to do in the yamen, and it is a good way to drag them here to help themselves.
Hao Renli nodded and smiled and said to Zhang Ting, "Well, I’ll go to the other end of the yamen now and tell them that I’m sure they will be happy to come over. After all, they will be happy to solve their two meals a day regardless of eating at the other end of the yamen."
With Zhang Ting in favor of Hao Ren riding a horse, his mouth grinned and he walked in the direction of the city government in a happy mood.
After a while at the door, Zhang Ting smiled and went into the corner of the wall of Hao’s courtyard, where Hao Gui was digging earthworms with Ann and Xiaokang. ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;
In order to send the three children at home away every day when they are free, Zhang Ting thinks about whether to let the three children get into the habit of doing nothing. Zhang Ting finally catches back a few yellow furry chickens from the city and assigns them to be in charge of the three little guys.
What didn’t disappoint Zhang Ting was that since the family raised these five chickens, these three little guys took care of them seriously in other times except when they studied hard.
It’s not that Zhang Ting told them two days ago that these five chicks like to eat earthworms in addition to vegetables and leftovers. After learning about this, the three little guys dig one in every corner of Hao’s house every evening.
In a few days, these three little guys dug up every corner of Hao’s house, and fluffy land was everywhere, just like a dog eating it.
Zhang Ting stood behind the three of them for a while and smiled and shouted their names "Hao Gui ‘an Anxiaokang, you are digging earthworms again".
