Chapter 473 Discussing the Servants' Room 2



Chapter 473 Discussing the Servants' Room 2

"There are also kitchens and washrooms that need to be arranged. Everything needs to be fully prepared."

As Xu Han was talking, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. She had gotten up too early today and was so sleepy. What should she do?

Lu Chuan hugged Xu Han's waist and whispered, "Go to sleep first, we'll talk about this after you wake up."

After hearing what Lu Chuan said, Xu Han closed her eyes completely and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, there was no one beside her. She reached out to feel the temperature next to her and found the quilt was cold. It seemed that she had been up for a long time.

Xu Han didn't delay and walked out of the room directly when she heard the child's voice outside.

When Ma Pozi saw Xu Han coming out, she said, "Madam is awake. The master has taken others to the valley. He said he was going to clear the homestead and build a house."

Xu Han glanced at the needlework in Ma Po's hands and the small stool beside her. It seemed that she should stay at home to take care of the four children.

After all, the four children are still young and the family really needs someone to stay at home.

Xu Han smiled and said, "Well, I'll go over to see them. You can continue to be busy! Take a break when you are tired. Don't just focus on sewing. Your eyes won't be able to bear it for a long time."

When Mrs. Ma heard her master say this, she felt warm in her heart and agreed with red eyes.

Xu Han didn't dare to look at her. She was very puzzled as she had only said it casually, why did she get so excited? Then she walked out quickly, fearing that if she was a second late, Mrs. Ma would burst into tears.

These were just simple questions to Xu Han, but others felt differently, especially people like Ma Po, who had been a slave for half her life and had never heard other masters say such things.

How could she not be flattered when she heard this? Of course, Xu Han was not particularly aware of their previous experiences, and for her as a modern person, this was just a concern from her as a boss.

For her, who was used to eating pancakes in her previous life, this was a normal thing. But it was different for these servants. They didn't think so at all.

When Xu Han walked to the other side of the stream, he could see from afar a group of people standing in the valley opposite. Everyone was busy, carefully clearing stones and weeds on the ground.

When she got closer, other people saw her and wanted to stop to greet her, but Xu Han simply waved her hand to signal them to continue with their own things and not to pay attention to her.

Then he turned around and came to Grandpa Zhao. Seeing this, the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan also hurried over.

Xu Han smiled and said, "Grandpa Zhao, don't work with them. The weather is so hot, you should just rest at home. Taoist Priest, you should also go back and rest. We have someone working at home now, so you won't have to work so hard in the future."

The Taoist priest waved his hand when he heard this and said, "Hahaha, I'm used to working for you every day for so many years. I'm really not used to stopping to rest all of a sudden.

Don't worry about me, I'm bored if I stay alone, don't worry, I'm not rushing to finish the work now, I'll just help them, mainly to supervise them."

Grandpa Zhao smiled and said, "Hahahaha, I'm also free right now, so I just happened to come over to take a look. I'll be going back soon because I still have to teach those two little bastards!"

Ever since Mu'er and Ze'er were enlightened, Grandpa Zhao rarely got involved in farm work. Unless it was the busy farming season, Grandpa Zhao would not go to the fields on a daily basis.

In addition to educating his two children, Grandpa Zhao continued to write medical books in his spare time as before.

After listening to what the two said, Xu Han held her forehead helplessly and looked at Lu Chuan beside her. Knowing that he was not the kind of person who could sit idle either, she simply stopped talking.

Well, this family has been used to a hard life, and none of them can sit still. Xu Han knew that it would be useless to persuade them, so she simply kept quiet.

After a while, he continued, "Have you drawn the specific location? I see you have cleared out a large area in just a short while."

Lu Chuan explained, "It's confirmed. We'll build it near the foot of the mountain. This area is relatively flat, and like where we live, the terrain is high, so we don't have to worry about flooding in the future."

Xu Han asked, "Well, this place is quite large. There are so many of you, so you should be able to clean it out in the afternoon!"

"The location for building the house can be cleared, but the yard is quite large, so I think it will take another day tomorrow to completely clear it. I plan to clear it all out before starting construction, so that the site is large and it will be easier to build."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, we can do anything faster with more people."

"Yes, our team is so big now that even this little job is not enough for them to do."

As soon as Xu Han finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

After some joking, Xu Han went home with Grandpa Zhao. Grandpa Zhao took the two children directly to class, while Xu Han went back into the house to prepare to draw the blueprints of the new house.

The blueprint is the same as what I discussed with Lu Chuan today. There will be ten blue brick and tile houses in a neat row. The servants will probably live in about seven of them, and the remaining three houses can be used to store food temporarily.

Then a large kitchen and tool room were built on the west side, next to which was the bathroom. Further ahead were the separate toilets for men and women.

Xu Han reserved the space on the east side for building a warehouse, but according to the current plan, the bricks and tiles purchased before are definitely not enough. So he will not build it for the time being, and will reserve the space for later construction when he has time.

After Xu Han finished the painting, she admired the fruits of her labor with great satisfaction. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. What should she do? Now she even wanted to live in it.

He thought to himself, "Oh, I am really too kind-hearted. Which master is so kind to his servants?"

In fact, rather than saying that Xu Han is a saint, it is better to say that Xu Han just wants to prevent these people from experiencing the suffering she went through in her previous life. It can also be said that she feels sorry for her former self.

She just wanted to hold up an umbrella for others when she was able to do so that they would not become disheartened by the world.

In her previous life, Xu Han was a qualified ox and horse, with endless work to do every day.

And the most important thing is to rent a house. Good houses are too expensive to afford, and the cheaper ones are very bad. Not only is the environment bad, but the hygiene is also particularly poor.

Xu Han knew too well the feeling of renting a house. She was exhausted every day and could not even get a good rest when she got home. The most important thing was that she was afraid that the landlord would evict her at any time and she would become homeless.

Before, even the living environment was not safe, and as a girl, I was really afraid of these things. So Xu Han prepared to build a house for them so that they would have a place to live in peace.
