Chapter 923 I'm Going to Shangshi Village to Find Work
The old lady stopped objecting. Her son was doing well and owned property in the county town, so of course she was happy.
After Lu Erbai finished conveying his message, he was about to leave when Sanya grabbed him and said, "Dad, we need to change your name."
Lu Erbai was completely bewildered. "Change the name to what?"
Shu Yu then told them what Meng Yunzheng had said. Lu Erbai pondered, while the old lady had long felt that things should be changed.
“Dahu is a scholar now, and a scholar should have a scholar’s name.” Just like Tang Xiu in the village, no, Tang Juren, his name sounds nice and is easy to remember.
Lu Erbai had no objection, but as a rough and uneducated man, it would be quite difficult for him to come up with a name.
He scratched his head and looked down at Sanya, saying, "Sanya, Dad has something to do right now. Why don't we wait until tonight when your mother and Dahu are home, and then look through the books to see if there are any nice-sounding names with good meanings?"
Sanya asked curiously, "Should we turn the page?"
Lu Erbai, “…” Without looking at the book, he could only choose Da Hu San Ya.
"Why don't you take advantage of this time to think it over yourself?" the old lady suggested.
Sanya's eyes lit up. "Okay, then I'll think of ten or eight, and pick them carefully. The ones I've come up with will definitely sound really good."
As she spoke, she excitedly ran into the house to look through books.
Shu Yu shook her head, and just then there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Daya was nearby, so she quickly ran over to open the door.
The group that arrived were Ying Xi and Hua Xian, along with their coachman. Ying Xi and Hua Xian were brought by Shu Yurang, and the coachman was taking Lu Erbai to Shangshi Village to recruit people.
However, before Lu Erbai could leave, Ying Xi said, "Master, a lot of people have arrived from Fenghuai Street. My brother said they are the laborers you negotiated yesterday. Originally, Engineer Zheng was making arrangements, but something is wrong with the blueprints and the dimensions need to be redone. In addition, the timber has also been delivered, and Engineer Zheng is too busy..."
Before Ying Xi could finish speaking, Lu Erbai was taken aback. "Those laborers arrived so quickly?"
He had dinner with the people Yuan Shanchuan had found last night, and they had also been drinking. He had originally thought that it would take until at least the afternoon or tomorrow morning to gather everyone together, but he didn't expect them to come to his door so quickly.
If there's a problem with the drawings, he'll definitely have to go and take a look.
It seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to Shangshi Village.
Shu Yu said, "Father, you go to the mansion on Fenghuai Street. I'll go to Shangshi Village. Write down the names of the uncles and elders you want to recruit, and I'll go find them."
"are you free?"
"Yes," Shu Yu said with a smile. "Perfect timing, I'll go back to the village and ask my uncle about repairing the ancestral graves."
Lu Erbai thought about it and agreed, "Then wait for me a moment, I'll write down a list of a few people for you."
Ayu was not familiar with the villagers of Shangshi Village, and since the names of the villagers were all similar, Lu Erbai wrote down their addresses as well.
Taking advantage of this critical moment, Shuyu introduced Huaxian to the old lady.
"Grandma, this is Hua Xian, whom I told you about yesterday. She is good at back massage and has been staying at home with you these days."
Hua Xian quickly stepped forward and gave a slightly nervous bow.
When she looked up, she found that the old lady was even more nervous than she was.
The old lady didn't want to either, but wasn't this the first time she'd ever seen a maidservant being ordered around? She was at a loss for what to do with herself.
Shu Yu took her hand and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, just treat her like a junior. If she's easy to get along with, treat her with kindness. If she's disobedient, just say what you need to say and scold her if you need to. Don't be nervous."
