Ye Damin took the cow to the cowshed in the backyard and tied it up. He took the well water and cleaned himself up for a while before entering his father Ye's house. He sat down on the edge of the kang and rubbed his sore waist secretly. After pondering for a while, he finally gave a suggestion to Mr. Ye: "Dad, why don't I go to the village tomorrow to ask if any fellow villagers are willing to come to our house to be a helper for a while?"

Although Mr. Ye did not have much hope for finding helpers in the village, he did not object to Ye Damin's tired face. He just discussed a reasonable price for helpers with Ye Damin and handed over the recruitment of helpers to Ye Damin.

On the second day, Ye Damin walked around the village and asked about more than 20 households in the village, but it disappointed Ye Damin.

Although the price offered by Ye Damin is not low, Ye Damin failed to recruit a helper.

The reason is very simple. It is not that the villagers don’t want to make this money. If it is a slack farmer, they will be afraid that they will be able to make this money by breaking the quota for these few helpers, but they really can’t make this money.

Because in addition to their own fields, each villager in Houwu Village also rented some land from the wealthy households, and he really couldn't get any man to make the money.

Although Mr. Ye had such a prediction in his heart, he sighed deeply when he really heard the result.

Although the village has a small population, it does not have as many intrigues and dirty tricks as it was in Hongfeng Village, it also has both advantages and disadvantages.

Ye Damin originally planned to try it in the neighboring village, but this time he was rejected by Ye Dad.

The situation in the nearby villages is roughly the same. Since there is no helper in Houwu Village, it is impossible to recruit people in the neighboring village.

On that day, Lin Zimo saw that Mr. Ye and Ye Damin were busy in the field for another day, so tired that he almost didn't even want to say anything. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Grandpa Ye, why don't your family buy a few people to come back to help farm? How tired are you like this!"

The smoke gun that Dad Ye was heading into his mouth paused in the air. He had never thought about buying someone.

Qi Gui's family had no choice but to accept it. According to Mr. Ye's idea, the Ye family is far from living a life of maids and slaves.

In fact, Ye Shen had already proposed to Mr. Ye to buy a few slaves and come back to help with planting, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity. Now that Lin Zimo has sent this opportunity to suggest it to him, he will naturally not let it go: "Yes, Grandpa, if our family buys a few people to help with the work, Grandpa and Dad won't have to be so tired. The eldest brother can study with peace of mind and don't always think about going to the field to help."

If it was just the reason for buying someone in front, Dad Ye might have let it go after he passed it in his heart, but if the buyer came back and could make a few grandchildren study with peace of mind, then he had to think carefully.

No, no need to think about it, just buy someone!

Although the Ye family is far away from wealthy, there is still money to buy a few slaves.

All the Ye family needs is people who can go to the fields to work. Such slaves should not be expensive, and they are even cheaper than those beautiful maids.

When Lin Zimo heard that Dad Ye decided to buy a few slaves back, he was ready to persuade Dad Ye to buy slaves in the mansion.

Lin Zimo's reason is that the Lin family buys slaves several times a year. If the housekeeper knows the Yaxing people, he will definitely be able to help the Ye family pick the most suitable slaves.

Dad Ye thought about it and Lin Zimo said it was very reasonable, so when the elementary school was closed, Dad Ye really followed Lin Zimo to the city with Ye Damin.

Originally, it was agreed to buy only two people, but when Dad Ye and Ye Damin returned to Houwu Village, everyone was shocked because Dad Ye actually bought three men, two women and five people in one breath.

This is a family, a couple with two sons and one daughter.

The man's surname is Jin Wang, and the woman is directly called "Jin Wang's family". The couple is about forty years old.

The eldest son, Jin Dashu, is 18 years old this year, the second son, Jin Xiaoman, is 16 years old this year, and his little daughter is just ten years old this year.

When he was at the original owner's house, the family worked in the village, which was a bit similar to Qi Gui's family.

However, the original owner of Qi Gui's family was just a businessman, and he returned to the Ye family with Zhuangzi because the original owner returned to his hometown.

The original master of the Jin family was an official of a low-grade rank. He was sentenced to exile for multiple charges such as corruption and injury.

The master committed a crime and affected his slaves, and the family was confiscated and sold together with other slaves.

I just arrived at the largest tooth shop in Qingzhou Prefecture yesterday, which was the one that the housekeeper of Lin’s mansion took Dad Ye to today.

By chance, the family was bought back by Dad Ye and spent a total of thirty silver on Dad Ye.

Jin Xiaomei, who is only ten years old, is considered a matchmaker, and the other four people's teeth shops offer a price of ten taels per person.

For the sake of the Lin Mansion housekeeper, Yashu gave a discounted price of 8 taels per person.

With the unremitting efforts of Mr. Ye, the final total price was reduced by 2 taels, and the final transaction was 30 taels.

When Chen learned that these five people were bought by Mr. Ye for thirty taels of silver, he naturally gritted his teeth in pain. He had to blame Mr. Ye for spending money indiscriminately.

However, when I heard that the family was sold from the capital to Qingzhou Prefecture in a few places just to avoid separation of their flesh and blood, I sighed and took the family with the Wu family to the backyard to settle it first.

There are several houses in the row of houses in the backyard that once had a warm kang to produce bean sprouts, and two connected rooms were picked out for the family to live in.

Jin Wang and his wife brought Jin Xiaomei's room, and Daman and Xiaoman brothers a room.

After the resettlement was settled, the three men from the family followed Mr. Ye to work in the afternoon of that day. Originally, Jin Wang's family had to go to the ground, but Chen kept her and asked her to clean up the backyard with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This backyard is larger than that of Hongfeng Village, and you can clean up a large vegetable field.

Lin Wan thought she had nothing to do, but Chen put Jin Xiaomei in her room to serve her, which means that from this day on, Lin Wan had the first maid after coming to this world.

Although Lin Wan does not need a maid to serve her, having a girl a few years older than her helps her do things like moving higher and lower, which should save her a lot of worries.

After handing over the bean sprout business to Qi Gui, several houses in the backyard lost their original purpose. Old Man Ye simply transferred a house with a warm kang to Lin Wan and moved all the potted plants in Lin Wan's house to that house.

Now Lin Wan's house only has a pot of cosmos and a pot of sunflowers. There is no trace of moisture or odor, and there is only the natural fragrance of flowers.

Although Lin Wan is four years younger than Jin Xiaomei, Jin Xiaomei does not dare to be careless in front of Lin Wan.

Seeing Jin Xiaomei's restrained look, Lin Wan felt helpless.

Since Jin Xiaomei was arranged by Chen to serve her, Lin Wan naturally had to give Jin Xiaomei a new name, and she couldn't shout with the Jin family "Little Sister" and "Little Sister".

I remember that Qi Gui's two daughters in Zhuangzi were called "Chunmei" because they were born in spring, and the other was called "Qiuju" because they were born in autumn.

Unexpectedly, the Jin family and Qi family were quite destined to name their children. The names of the two sons of the Jin family should be taken from the solar term at birth. One is called Daman and the other is called Xiaoman. It wouldn’t be so coincidental that they were born in these two solar terms.

After asking Jin Xiaomei, he was really guessed. Daman and Xiaoman were indeed born in these two solar terms.

Lin Wan couldn't help but complain in her heart, if the birth solar term of the eldest and second brothers was reversed, would it be that the eldest brother called "Xiaoman" and the second brother called "Daman"?

In order to match the rules of Jin's name, Lin Wan had to ask Jin Xiaomei's birthday.

"Girl, my maid is the third day of the winter moon." Jin Xiaomei whispered.

Good guys finally came to the winter of the family!

Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "Then you call Dongxue from now on."

"Dongxue thanked his master for giving his name." It seems that Jin Xiaomei, oh, now she should be named Dongxue. She really likes this name and happily thanked Lin Wan for giving her name.

So Lin Wan had a maid named Dongxue around her.
