Chapter 219 Expectations of the Old House
As a time traveler, Ye Changyan had no idea of slavery or human trafficking. He bought Fang Xiaotong and his sister mainly because he saw that the pair were in a desperate situation and he felt pity for them, so he rescued them.
When the brother and sister arrived at the Ye family, they were very clear about their identities and did not do anything inappropriate. However, Ye Changyan did not treat the brother and sister as slaves. Other people in the Ye family also treated the brother and sister kindly.
But it was Mr. Cai's words that made Ye Changyan realize that the social environment he was in now was fundamentally different from his previous life in the way many things were handled.
Right now, he needed more people like Fang Xiaotong and Fang Xiaomei, brothers and sisters, who were absolutely loyal to him and whom he could completely trust, to help him take care of many things.
Ye Changyan planned to mention this matter to Zhong Yunfeng. He had no experience in buying servants, so he would ask Zhong Yunfeng to ask Zhong Dingyi to keep an eye on it.
Since he had such a plan, Ye Changyan had other plans for the arrangements of everyone in the old house.
After dinner, Ye Xiaozheng and his son Ye Changyan went to the old house.
Everyone in the old house was a little tired after a day's work. They had just returned home and Liu's dinner was not ready yet when they saw Ye Changyan and his son coming over.
Everyone in the old house warmly invited the father and son into the house.
"Lao San and San Lang are here, come in and sit down. Your second sister-in-law is cooking, and your eldest sister-in-law and eldest girl have also gone to the kitchen to help. It's a good opportunity for you and your son to have something to eat together."
When the old lady saw the father and son coming, she hurriedly greeted them.
"Mom, we've already eaten, but we ate a little too much, so we came out for a walk to help digest the food. It's a good opportunity for us to come and see you."
Ye Xiaozheng's opening remarks were designed by Ye Changyan. Ye Changyan knew that everyone in the old house would invite them to stay for dinner, and was afraid that Ye Xiaozheng would find it difficult to refuse, so he came up with this opening remark for him.
After briefly greeting everyone, Ye Changyan and his son came to the shrine and burned incense for Old Man Ye.
Everyone in the old house watched Ye Changyan and his son burn incense, and they all looked at the father and son with a friendly face, and then heard Ye Changyan ask.
"Uncle, second uncle, are you used to working in the processing workshop recently?"
"Habits, habits, they're all good."
Ye Xiaowen looked at Ye Changyan with a smile. Ye Changyan saw that although Ye Xiaowu looked tired, he was looking at him with a smile. After hearing what Ye Xiaowen said, he nodded.
"It would be great if you can get used to it. I heard that Big Brother and Shi Lang are quite familiar with each production workshop."
When Dalang and Silang heard what Ye Changyan said, the corners of their mouths slightly raised and they nodded at Ye Changyan with a smile.
"Now the second batch of spotted cows have been leased to villagers in the surrounding villages. The supply of fresh milk has been greatly improved. The processing workshop has also been rapidly expanding production recently. There are not many people like Big Brother and Silang who are familiar with all the production workshops. After the processing workshop expands production, the current managers will definitely be too busy to handle it. I will talk to Boss Zhong someday and ask Big Brother and Silang to follow the managers and learn how to manage things so that they can help share the burden."
When Ye Xiaowen and Dalang heard this, they became excited all of a sudden, but Silang hadn't reacted yet. Erlang was in a complicated mood. Ye Xiaowu looked at his two sons and didn't know whether he should be happy for Silang or worried about Erlang.
It happened that Liu and Da Niu came to the front hall carrying two plates each. Liu heard the second half of Ye Changyan's words, saying that Da Lang and Si Lang were going to learn how to be housekeepers.
Suddenly he was very excited. He took a few steps, put the plate on the table, and said to Ye Changyan.
"Sanlang, see if you can talk to Boss Zhong and ask your second brother to learn from the managers. Although the job of carrying bags can make money, it is really too hard. His palms are calloused and his shoulders and arms are often injured. He has almost used up a bottle of medicinal wine in the past two months."
Hearing what Liu said, Erlang silently lowered his head and subconsciously clenched his hands, as if he was afraid that people would see his rough hands.
Everyone in the old house has also watched the changes in Erlang over the past two months. Although they all feel a little sympathetic, there is nothing they can do about it.
Seeing Ye Xiaozheng looking at him with some pity, Ye Changyan turned to look at Erlang.
"Second brother, are you used to carrying the bags?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Erlang at the same time. Erlang's expression became a little stiff when he saw this.
"It's not that bad. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after persisting for more than two months, I've gotten used to it."
Hearing Erlang say this, Liu, the mother, even though she was a carefree person, couldn't help but burst into tears.
The old lady felt a little bit reluctant and turned her face away quietly.
"The processing workshop has recently expanded its production, and the fleet that transports the candies has become even busier. Boss Zhong plans to add one or two fleets. I wonder if my second brother is willing to join a fleet and first follow the original fleet for a while and learn from the fleet manager. After more fleets are added, he may be able to become the manager of a new fleet."
Although Erlang's temperament has become much more restrained, his somewhat reckless character may be better suited to being honed in the car team. By interacting with all kinds of people in society, maybe he can really make a name for himself.
Ye Changyan's words made everyone in the old house excited. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Erlang, but they listened to what Ye Changyan continued to say.
"If you join the team, you will be wandering all year round, and you don't necessarily have to travel only between the city and Wanshou County. You may go to the surrounding Yizhou Prefecture, or even Shengjing in the future. In this way, you may not be able to go home once every ten days or half a month. Of course, it is naturally easier physically than carrying bags in the processing workshop, and the income is much higher than carrying bags."
Everyone looked at Erlang with expectation and worry. Erlang pondered for a moment and then nodded to Ye Changyan.
"Sanlang, I'm willing to go to the convoy."
After hearing Erlang's straightforward answer, Ye Changyan's impression of Erlang changed. It seemed that the days spent in the county government office before the New Year, coupled with the two months of carrying bags in the processing workshop, had indeed changed Erlang a lot.
"In that case, I will mention it to Boss Zhong."
Liu and Ye Xiaowu both looked at Erlang. Although they were a little worried, there was more hope in their eyes.
"Big sister, go call my aunt over, I want to talk to everyone about something."
Everyone in the old house was still immersed in the joy that Dalang, Erlang and Silang had the opportunity to learn how to be housekeepers. Hearing Ye Changyan say this, Da Niu hurried to the kitchen. Everyone was guessing what Ye Changyan was up to that required him to gather the whole family.
After listening to the eldest girl's account of what had happened previously, Xu ran out of the kitchen excitedly, greeted Ye Changyan and his son, and looked at Ye Changyan with anticipation.
