Chapter 645: Who is the story within the story?

Just after the Chinese New Year, the Ding family welcomed visiting guests.

Butler Mo gathered all the servants for a morning meeting early in the morning. Lin Yiyi was criticized for her sleepy look.

"Xiaoyi, cheer up, you sleep the most every day."

"...Oh." Lin Yiyi forced a smile, then turned her face to the side and covered her mouth and yawned. She really shouldn't have gone to the swimming pool last night.

I get up at 5 o'clock and have a meeting before 6 o'clock. Any normal person would feel sleepy.

Butler Mo talked about a lot of things in the meeting, but only the last sentence was what everyone wanted to hear.

"Okay, there will be guests at home at noon today, so everyone should be careful."

After the speech, the Ding family servants ate breakfast in two shifts. Lin Yiyi was in the second shift. When she saw that the breakfast was the bacon sandwich and hot milk she had been talking about, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She winked at Xia Fu who was drinking milk, "Xiao Fu, thank you."

"Hush." ​​Xia Fu put down the cup and whispered, "Don't let anyone see me asking my aunt to put triple bacon on you."

Lin Yiyi smiled and nodded, sighing that it was good to have someone familiar in the kitchen.

The 20-minute meal time passed quickly. After breakfast, Lin Yiyi and Xia Fu were assigned to go to the garden to get a wooden rake to pick up the fallen leaves.

Time passed quickly as they talked and laughed, and when Xia Fu was called to help in the kitchen, she was the only one left in the back garden.

After Lin Yiyi picked up the leaves, she returned to the steps in the garden to rest.

…

Ding Yan respected Ding's father in his heart. He was invited to have a meal and a small gathering, and he also took the opportunity to check on the progress of someone's work.

But after looking around a few times, he didn't see any unfamiliar servants from the Ding family.

"Ayan, I plan to arrange for your brother to practice with me in a while. You joined the gang early, so you can guide your brother if you have nothing to do."

It turned out that he was called here because of the little bastard. Ding Yan suppressed his smile and said, "With my father here, why would you need me?"

Father Ding put down his teacup and looked around, "You are brothers after all, blood is thicker than water, as the eldest brother you should be more tolerant."

Ding Yan knew that his father was a man of his word, so he didn't argue with him. He didn't bother to care about the life or death of the little bastard.

"It's a bit stuffy in the house, I'm going to take a walk in the back garden."

Father Ding sighed, knowing that his two sons didn't get along, so he could only let him be.

Ding Yan went to the back garden and strolled around slowly, but he couldn't find the country girl no matter how hard he looked.

Finally, he saw a figure on the steps in the corner of the flower bed. He didn't actually see the girl's appearance clearly that night. She was extremely dirty and smelled bad.

Fortunately, he knew all the servants of the Ding family, and any unfamiliar face must be a country girl.

After Lin Yiyi peeled the orange, she sniffed the fragrance and was about to tear off the white peel from the orange petals when she suddenly felt a shadow above her head and the sunlight was blocked.

She turned her head and saw only a pair of long legs in sweatpants. She moved her eyes upwards, but unfortunately he was facing away from the sun and she couldn't see his appearance clearly.

The woman in front of him had an exquisite and beautiful face, her big bright eyes seemed to be able to speak. Perhaps because of surprise, her rosy lips were slightly opened, and the side braid made her look a little silly.

Ding Yan knew immediately that she was a country girl. He looked down and saw that she was holding a peeled orange. He guessed that she was just being lazy and found it a little funny.

No wonder he agreed to be an insider so readily.

Thinking about what Butler Mo said in the morning, Lin Yiyi hurriedly stood up and put her hands behind her back, smiling and greeting softly, "Hello, sir."

Is he the guest at noon?

Ding Yan stood on the steps, much taller than her, "Are you slacking off here?"

Lin Yiyi hurriedly shook her head and explained: "No, no, I've finished the cleaning work. I'm sitting here to bask in the sun."

"I'm sorry to bother you, sir. I'll leave right away."

"Is that how you get information?"

"Ah?" Lin Yiyi was a little confused. What news? Who is he?

"I asked you to get some information, and this is how you just perfunctorily deal with it?"

Lin Yiyi opened her eyes wide, then realized that his voice sounded familiar. She didn't respond immediately, but said the codeword, "What to go with fried rice?"

"Milk tea." Ding Yan frowned almost imperceptibly.

Knowing who he was, Lin Yiyi immediately changed her face to that of a villain and started to flatter him.

"So it's you, big brother. You are so handsome, no wonder you have to cover your charming face."

Ding Yan had no expression on his face, and his tone became cold again: "News!"

“Yes, yes.” Lin Yiyi shook the orange peels on her waist and took out a palm-sized workbook from her pocket.

"Look, it's all written."

"......"

After reading the script for a few seconds, Ding Yan wanted to strangle her to death. Why did he choose such a fool as his accomplice?

He threw away the notebook and said sternly, "What the hell did you write?"

Lin Yiyi took two steps back down the stairs for fear of being punished, and said innocently, "It's Master Ding's dining record. I drew a small icon to indicate it because I was afraid of being discovered."

"Who asked you to record these useless things?"

"I don't know anything useful either. Big brother, you may not know that servants in the Ding family are based on years of service and seniority.

As someone who just got in, I can’t interact with the host family much, so I have no way to get any information.”

Lin Yiyi noticed that he looked a little unhappy, so she bent down to pick up the notebook, dusted it off, and then stepped back two steps unnoticeably.

Ding Yan sneered at her and said, "Don't forget about the debt. I still have the IOU you wrote."

"..."Bad guys are quite good at threatening people.

Lin Yiyi secretly hated him hundreds of times in her heart. She was in debt for no reason and was very upset, but there was nothing she could do. She could only smile and pretend to be pitiful.

She pushed half an orange in front of him, trying to divert his attention, "...Brother, you want to eat an orange? I promise I'll try my best."

"Oh."

The man glanced at her and walked away.

Lin Yiyi was not the type to be a bad guy, so she just let it go in one ear and out the other. When she could no longer see the bad guy, she continued to sit on the steps eating oranges and basking in the sun.

The orange is a bit sour, and I have to make a weird face when I eat a slice.

When working as a servant in the Ding family, you have to sign a contract agreement. If you leak the master's secrets, you will have to pay 20 times the monthly salary and be prosecuted and imprisoned.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

...

The warm wind from the south cannot reach the cold north.

There was a hedge in the middle and then the flows returned to each other.

Zhao Sheng felt that this year was a bit unlucky because the female comrade from Dog Skin Plaster would come to look for him downstairs in the dormitory every now and then, and rumors spread around the factory.

When I went to the office to collect my salary, several people made fun of me.

Director Xu of the transport team was even more straightforward, "Xiao Zhao, good things are coming soon. When are you getting married?"

Zhao Sheng looked modest, with annoyance hidden in his eyes, "Director, please stop making fun of me. It's nothing, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Really?"

Xu Shida glanced at him and continued to wipe the stone ornaments on the table. "Many people have seen that female comrade often come downstairs to the dormitory to give you things. If they are not in a relationship, how can they be... You need to be strict about your work style."

"It's really a misunderstanding." Zhao Sheng said tactfully, "I'll bother you again at night, so I won't bother you now."

Xu Shida understood and said with a smile: "Work hard. You have the most positive work attitude in the team. Xiao Zhao, I am very optimistic about you."

…

At night, Zhao Sheng secretly delivered 20 kilograms of coarse grains and 5 kilograms of fine grains to Director Xu's yard. After saying a few words, he asked for a day off before returning to the dormitory building.

He was afraid that because of Tian Meihui's entanglement, he would be put in the limelight of the steel mill.

The boxes of things found in the mountains must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you will be under the attention of people in the factory at any time and anywhere, and it will be easy to get into trouble when doing things.

It's like this woman doesn't understand what people say. She comes to me every now and then to show her affection. She's so shameless and annoying.
