Awang ate two rice balls in a row before he seemed to remember something.
Turning back, he looked at Yin Le who was staring at him eagerly at the door of the main hall and asked, "How many do you want to eat?"
Yin Le was overjoyed. A hungry person doesn't need face. He immediately ran over with a smile and said, "Two."
Awang nodded, stood up, washed his hands, and personally made two rice balls for her.
This rice ball is not made of pure rice, but also contains glutinous rice. It is a little sticky but not greasy. It is also filled with pickled radish and lard.
If you want it spicy, you can add some chili.
After taking a bite of the rice ball, Yin Le's eyes lit up because it was so delicious. "It's so delicious!"
Awang nodded, he still had some confidence.
"Are you waiting for the madam?" Awang made small talk while cleaning the kitchen.
The master once said that men should be more proactive and not always embarrass girls.
Yin Le sat down on the small stool where the fire was burning, swallowed the rice ball in his mouth completely first, then nodded and said "hmm" in response.
"Awang, what time will my benefactor sleep until?" she asked curiously.
Awang: "I don't know. Madam is very casual."
He looked up at the sky outside and said, "But it should be soon."
Yin Le said optimistically: "Then I will wait a little longer."
But it was quite awkward to just wait like this, so Yin Le finished his rice ball and stood up to help.
Asked Awang: "Is there anything I can do? I am very good at work, Awang, please assign me something to do."
Awang subconsciously blurted out: No.
In a flash, the master's voice came to my mind again: A man must never say no!
"Then..." Awang looked around the kitchen, barely finding a job to do, and pointed to the steamer in the corner that had not been washed yet and said, "Wash it."
"Okay!" Yin Le agreed immediately. She looked so happy that if you didn't know her, you would think she was asked to wash gold.
He immediately found a brush, took the steamer to the large stone trough outside the house, scooped water and washed and scrubbed.
Awang was preparing ingredients for lunch in the kitchen while listening to the noise coming from outside the house.
I was just cleaning the steamer, why did it make a crackling sound?
Feeling uneasy, Awang secretly stuck his head out to observe. When he saw this, his heart tightened instantly.
The bamboo strips on the steamer were actually turned inside out, like a flower blooming in disarray.
The woman didn't realize that something was wrong yet. She took the brush, hummed a little tune, and happily scrubbed the scattered bamboo pieces one by one.
"Don't worry about what a woman is doing. Even if she is demolishing a house, as long as she is still smiling, don't bother her. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"
At the critical moment, the master's instructions came to mind again.
Awang frowned, thought for a moment, and retracted his foot that was about to step out to stop him.
Forget it, just wait for the Madam to deal with her!
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
The tightly closed door of the main house slowly opened.
Qin Yao stood comfortably at the door, looking up at the sun, and stretched lazily with contentment.
"Madam." Awang called her and glanced wildly towards the stone trough. Madam, look at her!
Qin Yao followed Awang's reminder and looked over. Yin Le was holding up the steamer with the flowers bursting out, and smiled at her brightly: "My benefactor! I cleaned the steamer!"
Qin Yao frowned slightly. She remembered that a steamer didn't look like this.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Qin Yao walked to the kitchen and asked Awang what he wanted to eat.
Awang replied: "Rice ball."
Qin Yao nodded: "Okay, I want five rice balls with chili."
Awang agreed and turned to look at her again, his eyes full of confusion. He couldn't understand why the lady didn't deal with Yin Le, who broke the steamer, like she did with the master.
Could it be that, as Yin Le herself said, the lady accepted her as a disciple?
But soon, Awang realized that he was overthinking.
Madam treats every troublemaker equally!
After finishing breakfast and packing up, Qin Yao waved her hand and took Yin Le out.
Yin Le asked curiously: "Benefactor, where are we going?"
"Stationery factory."
Yin Le was puzzled, "Why go to the stationery factory?"
"Of course it's work, what else do you think it's for?"
Yin Le finally realized something was wrong and immediately turned around and wanted to run back.
Unfortunately, before he could even lift his legs, Qin Yao grabbed him by the collar.
Yin Le begged: "My benefactor, please teach me martial arts. Once I learn martial arts, I will never bother you again!"
"Can you read?" Qin Yao asked back.
The topic changed so quickly that Yin Le was stunned for a moment before shaking his head, "Does this have anything to do with martial arts?"
Qin Yao sneered, "You don't even know how to read, and you still want to learn martial arts? Do you know where the human heart is? Do you know how to write the word death? Do you know that the law of Sheng State stipulates that a murderer must pay with his life?"
Yin Le opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but she really didn't know these things, so she lowered her head in frustration.
The two had already arrived at the factory. Qin Yao threw her into the cafeteria and said to He and Qiu:
"Her name is Yin Le. She is here to help with the work. Sister-in-law, if you have anything, just tell her."
As he said this, he remembered that Yin Le still had no place to live, so he looked at He and said, "Sister-in-law, help her find a place to live, and the rent can be deducted from her salary."
He responded with a bewildered look on his face, nodding, "Okay."
Anyway, just do whatever my third brother’s wife asks you to do, no need to ask too many questions.
She must have her reasons for making such an arrangement!
Seeing Qin Yao throwing herself to two strangers and about to leave, Yin Le hurriedly chased after her: "Master!"
When I got anxious, I called out the name in my heart.
Qin Yao turned around and glared at him, and Yin Le quickly stopped.
She suppressed the moisture in her eyes and said with difficulty: "I don't know where to go, and I don't know what to do. Learning martial arts to avenge Shaoyao is the only thing I can think of."
With a plop, Yin Le knelt down and bowed deeply, "Please help me, benefactor!"
Qin Yao's expression changed slightly. She looked at Yin Le who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at He and Qiu who were standing in front of the stove with big spoons in their hands, stunned. She turned around and held her forehead with her hand, tired.
When he turned back, he had put away all his emotions and said coldly, "Come back to me when you have learned a thousand words."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Yin Le looked up excitedly, tears rolling down his face as he smiled.
She wiped away her tears, stood up quickly, rolled up her sleeves, walked towards He and Qiu, and asked them what she wanted to do.
The county magistrate had said before that the treatment at the stationery factory in Liujia Village was extremely good. Not only were two meals a day provided, but after work in the evening, workers could also go to literacy classes to read and practice calligraphy.
Soon, she will be able to learn a thousand characters. Yin Le is full of confidence in herself.
The work in the cafeteria was finished in the afternoon.
After work, He took Yin Le to Liu Dafu's house and rented a room in his old house, next to Qian Wang.
Seeing that Yin Le had no luggage, he found a quilt and gave it to her from home.
As for the rest, she can buy it herself after receiving her wages.
After completing the task assigned by Qin Yao, He went home.
Yin Le tidied up his little room for a while, then ran to the literacy class with great interest.
Looking at the five words written on the board by Manager Liu Qi, Yin Le realized that something was wrong.
In order to take care of the older workers in the factory, the literacy class now only teaches five words a day.
Yin Le counted on her fingers and calculated, five characters a day, how many days would it take her to learn a thousand characters.
The result is that due to her limited education, she can't figure it out at all!
The first literacy class at the stationery factory left Yin Le confused.
Qin Yao, who was observing from behind: You little brat, you're still fighting me with this~
