After confirming repeatedly that these two people, who looked to be either rich or noble, were indeed going to work as long-term laborers in the village.

Li's father put away his probing gaze, adhering to the principle of doing more and asking less, and began to register meticulously.

"Shanbo, Chengyuan, you two will be temporarily in charge of the affairs of Xiaoqingshan. Shanbo will be the orchard manager, with a three-month probationary period and a monthly salary of three taels of silver. After becoming a regular employee, he will receive four and a half taels of silver. His main duties are to manage all matters in the orchard and arrange the work of the personnel."

"One and a half taels of silver for the first month, converted to two taels and four hundred cash."

"You can receive a bonus of varying amounts each month based on your work performance. If your work does not meet the standards, your wages will be reduced for three consecutive months. You will have six days off each month, which you can arrange yourself, but you must complete your work in advance."

"In addition, the Yinguo Garden is still being cleaned up. You can choose to go there tomorrow, or you can work in the farmland for a while. The accommodation is in Langfang. Uncle Li, you can take them to the warehouse to get clothes and daily necessities first, and then go to Langfang."

Li Fu responded.

Father Li looked at the two of them and asked, "Did you understand? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Fu Yuanbo stroked the jade thumb ring on his hand.

This is my first time working for someone else, and I didn't expect it to sound so complicated.

He nodded. "Let's go to the farmland first and familiarize ourselves with the work."

Father Li nodded and noted it down. “Okay, Li Fu will take you there later. The farm manager is called Liu Dashan. Just go and report to him, and he will arrange work for you.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fu Ziyu, who was standing next to him.

This child clearly comes from a distinguished background.

However, since his employer didn't say how he would be treated, he didn't interfere.

After making the arrangements, I had Uncle Li take the person away.

Li Fuxian took them to see Qingkong, explained the situation, and took the token before going to the warehouse.

Upon seeing Qingkong, both Fu Yuanbo and Fu Tingchen showed slight changes in their expressions.

The former's eyes narrowed, and he looked deeply at the person in front of him, his smile deepening.

Interesting, really interesting.

He could clearly sense that the young butler in front of him was no less capable than him.

At least at the level of perfect innate realm.

It can also be confirmed that this person is definitely not among the currently known individuals at the peak of the Innate Realm.

This same person was assigned to be Yun Zhiyi's humble housekeeper.

How can you not say this is interesting?

Fu Tingchen's strength and realm were not as good as his grandfather's, but he could be sure that this person's strength was above his.

He hadn't felt a sense of absolute oppression in front of anyone for a long time.

The two suppressed their thoughts, took their things, and went with Li Fu to the corridor, casually asking him about Qingkong.

Li Fu didn't know much about this steward, only that he was brought back from outside the day after the master arrived.

He thought the two were uneasy because of Qingkong's cold attitude, so he comforted them.

"Although Butler Qing has a somewhat cold personality, he is a very nice person. As long as you don't make a mistake, he won't punish you arbitrarily. Moreover, he rarely goes out, so it's not easy to run into him."

The two nodded, then exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling.

Before long, they all arrived at the corridor.

When Fu Ziyu saw the corridor, he frowned again and nervously looked at his great-grandfather and third uncle.

The corridor was where the farmhands lived, so it was naturally quite ordinary.

Fortunately, there aren't many long-term workers at the moment, so each room only houses four people, facing two shared bunk beds, which can sleep two people at a time.

Inside, there are also individual cabinets, tables, chairs, and benches.

It's cleaned every day, so it's relatively clean and tidy.

For ordinary people, such living conditions are already quite good.

But for wealthy families accustomed to sleeping on soft beds and jade pillows, it was simply uninhabitable.

Fu Ziyu's heart trembled constantly, worried that his great-grandfather would turn on him.

Seeing that they were dressed elegantly and exuded an air of nobility, Li Fu suspected that they might be wealthy people who had suddenly suffered a misfortune at home.

Fearing they might be picky, he said...

"The conditions in the manor's corridor room are already quite good. Many farmhands who go to other people's homes either sleep in the stables or in a large communal bed where more than a dozen people are crammed together. You are lucky that no new farmhands have come yet, so you can each have a bed to sleep on for now. But once the new ones arrive, we'll have to make room for them."

After saying that, he looked at Fu Yuanbo and said, "Brother Shan, you are in charge. If you can complete three months and be promoted to a permanent position, you can move into the compound and have a private room to live in."

Li Fu observed that although Fu Yuanbo's breathing was somewhat gray, his face did not appear old, and he estimated that Fu Yuanbo was only in his fifties.

He then called out, "Brother."

Little did he know that this person was already in his seventies, a generation ahead of him.

Moreover, if Li Fu knew that the person he called "brother" was the current retired emperor, one wonders what he would think.

I guess I won't be able to sleep day and night.

Fu Yuanbo nodded casually, indicating that he didn't mind.

He was not a pampered and pleasure-seeking person.

Young people are either leading troops into battle or traveling the world, getting through all sorts of hardships, so they don't care about living conditions.

As you get older, your desire for these things decreases.

Fu Tingchen was similar; he often slept outdoors while marching and fighting.

That's why the grandfather and grandson get along so well; they're on the same wavelength.

The two silently put their things away, then went with Li Fu to the fields to find Liu Dashan.

After listening to Li Fu's introduction, Liu Dashan looked at the grandfather and grandson in surprise.

This preciousness, which cannot be concealed from head to toe, is truly here to work, not to be the master.

He quickly brought Li Fu aside to check carefully.

"Are you really sure this is a job?"

"Of course, the employer said it himself. I guess it's someone the employer knew before. You can decide what kind of misfortune befell that family. You can make arrangements accordingly."

After receiving the definite answer, Liu Dashan's expression was unusually complicated.

His face fell especially when his gaze fell on Fu Ziyu.

He didn't know either of them, but he had met Fu Ziyu once before.

This was the host's little guest, but now it seems that these people are all a family.

If he really does have a close relationship with his employer, then this work arrangement will give him a real headache.

The employer hadn't explained how things would be arranged, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Fu Yuanbo was squatting by the field, reaching out to brush aside the pumpkin leaves, trying to see the pumpkins hidden beneath them.

He thought the store sold all the vegetables, but he didn't expect there were other kinds as well.

Moreover, upon arrival, I encountered new varieties that I had never seen before.

Pumpkins are called "golden pumpkins" here, which are large pumpkins shaped like gourds.

However, due to limitations in cultivation techniques, the pumpkins here cannot compare in size to those of later generations.

The largest ones weigh only about two or three pounds, not much bigger than a gourd.

The pumpkins planted in Yunzhiyi's field are either orange-segment pumpkins or miniature baby pumpkins.

One is about the size of an adult's palm, very tiny.

Although it is now almost ripe, its surface is still emerald green.

It blends in seamlessly under the large leaves, making it difficult to spot unless you have a very keen eye.

Liu Dashan takes great care of these pumpkins every day, carefully tending to them. He even carefully moves the vines to a different spot, afraid of affecting the pumpkins' growth.

Seeing that he actually reached out and started to pull away the pumpkin leaves, she was so frightened that she quickly ran over.

"No, no, no, don't touch it."
