Apart from the bed, tables, chairs, and benches, there were no other items in the cabin. The carpets, expensive-looking tea sets, and ornaments that had been laid out earlier were all taken away by those people when they left.
The bed was just a bare wooden board. Yue Jiuyue could conjure up a few sheets for them, but not a few mattresses. So she had to ask Liu Shi to come over and make straw mats for them.
Fortunately, their farm family lacked everything except grass.
Both of them were quick and efficient, and it didn't take them long to finish weaving a straw mat. However, Liu had to cook, which was enough to keep her busy for more than twenty people. So she went to cook after she finished weaving two straw mats.
Despite having more work to do, Liu was not unhappy at all; in fact, she always had a smile on her face while working.
Having work to do means she's useful. The more work she does, the more useful she becomes. Even if new people come, she's not afraid of being replaced. The more new people there are, the better the master's family is doing. The better the master is doing, the better they will be.
Although Liu was happy that she was becoming more and more useful and might even become an indispensable part of the family, after all, food is the most important thing for people.
However, she still felt a lot of pressure cooking for more than twenty people by herself, especially since there was also a big boy named Dazhuang who had to cook a separate meal for him.
It was the same group of new people who were working as servants for the first time. They felt embarrassed to just go and rest, so they put down their things, comforted each other for a few moments, and then went to help. That's how they managed to prepare dinner on time.
Wow! There are so many people!
When Lin Chaobei returned from the fields, he even doubted whether he had entered the wrong house.
If their house weren't the only one nearby, he would have gone back to check if he had entered the wrong house.
"Oh, this is the family I bought in town today. They're all capable, so they'll be able to share the household chores from now on."
Yue Jiuyue raised her chin, pointing towards the location of the animal enclosure at home and the little creature Lin Chaonan was holding.
Lin Chaobei and Lin Chaonan understood immediately.
"Oh, that's great!"
How could it not be great? I can finally be free!
"Go wash your hands quickly, eat your meal and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
There weren't enough tables at home, so we had to borrow tables from someone else's wooden house. The meal was divided into four portions: one for Yue Jiuyue's family, one for Liu's family, one for the new family, and one for the two brothers-in-law who weren't very noticeable. Everyone went back to their own rooms to eat, and after they finished eating, they washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, everyone woke up very early and went to Yue Jiuyue's courtyard to wait quietly for her to assign them tasks.
"Granny Zhou has many children and is blessed with good fortune. She should be quite good at taking care of children. My little boy has been too noisy these days. See if you can handle him. If not, then you can do something else."
Old Master Zhou, did you and your companions discuss last night who would teach the young lady needlework? Is it Da Ya? Okay then.
Er Ya was in charge of taking care of the cat. If she couldn't find it, there was no need to worry. When it was time to eat, it would know to come back on its own when it was hungry.
Zhou Da and Zhou Er, you two brothers are responsible for taking care of the livestock and poultry at home. It's okay if you don't know how; I don't know how either. I'll just raise them casually, as long as they don't die.
"Since you're from Old Master Zhou's family, you can take charge of planting fruit trees and growing flowers. Planting fruit trees is simpler than growing flowers; you can learn from those two brothers."
