Chapter 189 Harue
Chapter 189 Harue
An Yue gave her a warm hug. At this moment, she seemed to be telling An Yue about her past through crying.
An Yue didn't say anything, but just accompanied her quietly.
——Two quarters of an hour passed.
The woman's emotions began to calm down slowly, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were still flowing out uncontrollably.
An Yue raised her hand to wipe the tears from her cheek and asked softly, "Do you feel better after crying?"
The woman sobbed and choked up as she replied, "Much better. Thank you for your understanding, Miss."
After saying that, she began to bend her knees and prepared to kowtow to An Yue.
An Yue quickly helped her up and said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly! Don't kneel down all the time. Go to the main hall and drink some water. After drinking the water, come with me to the kitchen to light a fire and heat some hot water for a bath."
The woman walked into the main hall, picked up the kettle, poured a bowl of water and started drinking.
After drinking the water, the woman walked up to An Yue again.
An Yue said to the woman seriously, "This is my home. From now on, this is also your home. In this home, I only have three requests for you."
"First, do your job honestly and behave yourself. Don't play tricks on me. Also, no matter what, you must be absolutely loyal to me and trust me."
"Second, you can do farm work with me on weekdays, but I am a relatively clean person. In your free time, try to clean the yard inside and out. Of course, you should also clean yourself up."
"Third, you have to promise me that you will slowly let go of the past and start living a new life."
“Can you meet the above three requirements?”
She nodded repeatedly and said, "I can do it, miss."
An Yue led the woman into the kitchen. The woman sat under the stove and lit a fire, while An Yue washed the pot and prepared hot water.
After the hot water was heated, the woman brought it to the toilet and prepared to take a bath.
It's past noon now.
An Yue was picking vegetables in the kitchen and started to prepare lunch.
She was wondering where to let the woman live.
[I will raise silkworms in the east and west wing rooms, so I can't let her live in the same room with me. I can only let her live in the bathroom. There is only a bath tub in the bathroom. I will move the bath tub to my room. It's not bad to take a bath in my room in the future. ]
——A few minutes later.
After taking a bath, the woman walked into the kitchen carrying a wooden bucket.
An Yue was cooking on the stove. When she turned around, she saw that her messy hair had been washed and simply combed.
She also put on the new clothes that An Yue bought for her. She looked neat and energetic.
However, after washing, the scar on her cheek became more noticeable.
An Yue smiled and said, "Well, not bad! It's much better than before!"
She put down the wooden barrel in her hand, walked up to An Yue, bowed deeply to An Yue, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Miss."
An Yue cooked the dishes and walked towards the main hall with the dishes in her hand. As she walked, she said, "From now on, don't call me Miss all day long. Just call me Yueyue."
The woman followed An Yue, carrying the rice on the chopping board, and went to the main hall.
Start eating lunch.
After An Yue sat down, the woman stood aside.
An Yue said to her: "Come and sit down and eat together!"
The woman waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Absolutely not."
"Just sit down when you're told to. Why are there so many rules?"
The woman still didn't dare to sit.
An Yue put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up, pushed the woman to sit on the bench, and said, "From now on, when there are no guests at home, you can sit and eat with me."
The woman bit her lower lip, carefully picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl and lowered her head to eat.
An Yue asked while chewing her rice: "What's your name?"
The woman quickly put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "It was the young lady who bought this servant. Please give me a name."
An Yue secretly wondered in her heart: [Do I have to give a name to the slave I bought back myself? ]
An Yue looked up at the mountains outside the yard and said, "It is spring now, the season when everything comes back to life. The branches are sprouting. I hope you can be reborn like the branches."
So, An Yue said to the girl, "How about calling her Chunzhi?"
The woman repeated, "Chunzhi...Chunzhi...Chunzhi is good, this name is very good."
"That's fine. From now on I'll call you Chunzhi."
Chunzhi bowed her head and thanked him, "Thank you, Miss."
An Yue looked up at Chun Zhi and said, "Don't stand there, sit down and have your meal!"
Chunzhi sat down, slowly picked up the bowl, and ate carefully.
An Yue picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her bowl, and said to her: "Chunzhi, don't call me Miss from now on."
The woman shook her head repeatedly: "No, you bought Chunzhi, so you are the owner of Chunzhi, so naturally I have to respectfully call you Miss."
An Yue was helpless. This old-fashioned attitude seemed to give her a sense of loyalty. However, An Yue did not want this superficial loyalty.
Now that she has just arrived, she needs time to adapt herself, so just leave her alone!
Perhaps it was because she had suffered too much and endured too many grievances, so the unprecedented respect she received from Anyue was a little uncomfortable for her.
After lunch, An Yue and Chun Zhi worked together to move the bath tub from the bathroom to An Yue's room.
Then, move the bed frame from the east wing to the bathroom.
After making the bed, An Yue said to Chun Zhi, "You will live in this room from now on. It's a little small, but you'll just have to make do with it for now!"
Chunzhi said with a smile: "Miss, it's not too small, it's very good."
The adobe house was also a newly built house. It was clean and tidy inside. Although it was not as spacious and bright as the blue brick and tile house, it was much better than the conditions of ordinary people.
She has her own independent space, which is much better than the small dark room in the county town.
After all this operation, it was already 4:00 p.m.
It was already this time, and An Yue felt that there was no need to take a nap as she still had to go to the village chief's house to get silkworm seeds.
There has been a lot of farm work to do in recent days. Rice seedlings need to be planted in the fields, the wasteland outside the yard needs to be dug up to plant sweet potatoes, food ingredients need to be delivered to Wanfulou, and the wasteland at the foot of the mountain behind the mountain also needs to be reclaimed as soon as possible to plant sweet potatoes or corn.
The most important thing was that he promised the chief clerk that he would make shepherd's purse dumplings for him, and after making them, he would ask Uncle Lin Hua to bring them to the county town for him.
It's not just about farming, I also plan to raise a piglet. In the future, all the fields will need fertilizers. Without fertilizer and water, crops will not grow.
Thinking about all the endless things to do, An Yue felt a headache.
She secretly complained in her heart: [I have traveled to this barren place, without a father and mother, I will either starve to death or die of exhaustion, let alone become a wealthy woman.]
However, when I looked back, I realized that it was a good thing that I had Chunzhi to help me in the future, so I finally had an extra pair of hands to help with the work.
