After walking with Guanshi Cao for the day, Li Qingyou felt that her legs were no longer her own, as if they were filled with lead. When she sat on the carriage, she felt that her legs were thicker, as if they were swollen, and she couldn't move any more.

Don't want to move anymore.

But the gains are also huge.

Although Cao Guanshi is a sloppy person, his business ability is very strong. Whether it is dealing with people or controlling some details, it is difficult for Li Qingyou to catch up even if he is on a rocket.

This is not an exaggeration, but Li Qingyou’s true feelings.

Initially, she thought it was a simple matter. It was nothing more than choosing a land, viewing the land, signing documents, and giving money. It was all done in one day. But when she actually implemented it, she discovered that there were many ways to do it, and there were many details that Li Qingyou had not even thought about.

Thought about it.

Especially on some issues, Manager Cao was always able to point out the key points immediately, so that Ma Dibao, who originally just wanted to give them a piece of land casually, had to deal with it more carefully later.

It seemed that it was no accident that Manager Cao was able to reach the position of manager. He still had certain abilities. Li Qingyou decided to change his perception of him.

"Miss Li must be very tired today." Manager Cao sat opposite Li Qingyou and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her beating her legs from the moment she got on the carriage. "The early stage is the most tiring, but it will become easier once the ranch starts driving.

It’s too late.”

Of course, this ease is only relative. Li Qingyou cannot handle all of this as a little girl. Without Manager Cao at the helm, everything would be a mirror image.

Manager Cao didn't emphasize his importance anymore because it was no longer needed. You could feel it through the way Li Qingyou looked at him and her attitude toward him throughout the day.

Release when it is time to release, and close when it is time to close. Retracting and releasing freely is the way to govern people.

Li Qingyou smiled, understanding the meaning of Manager Cao's words, and also seeing his seemingly humble and smug eyes, "When the time comes, I will have to help Manager Cao."

As long as she can work well, she will not hesitate to give a few compliments, provided that Manager Cao does not act like a monster.

Manager Cao got the information he wanted, and felt very happy. In order to show his importance and talent, he started to talk about business affairs in a boastful way. Some of them were practical information, and of course there were exaggerations, but generally speaking, they were based on his experience over the years.

talk.

Li Qingyou's attitude of listening attentively gave Manager Cao great encouragement. He spoke with saliva flying all over the place, and even when the carriage stopped at the door of Li's house, he was still a little unfinished.

It was completely dark by now, and with the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Li Qingyou couldn't invite them in for another drink of water. They even had lunch and dinner casually.

"It's getting late, so I won't invite you two in. You should go back and rest as soon as possible." After saying goodbye, Li Qingyou turned around, opened the courtyard door and walked in.

It was almost midnight, everything was dark, and the house was also dark. My brother should have fallen asleep long ago. Li Qingyou walked softly and walked in, thinking about going to the East Room to sleep for a night.

As soon as she reached the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Li Qingyou was so frightened that she took a big step back to the right and raised her hand to grab the stick under the window. Ever since the incident with Zhang Tieniu, she would place sticks at every door.

Shovels and other items are just for emergency situations.

Just as she raised her stick, the person inside the door spoke.

"Oh, are you shocked?" The person at the door was obviously also startled, and said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me, Xiaoshan's mother."

Only then did Li Qingyou see clearly that it was indeed Xiaoshan Niang. The tensed nerves suddenly relaxed, and the exhaustion of the aching body after walking for a day also swept over her. Her legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.

"It's aunt, I thought you guys went back." Li Qingyou put the stick back to its place and patted her chest.

The little mountain lady also raised her hand and touched her head twice, mumbling, "It's so cute, so cute. It's not scary."

This made Li Qingyou dumbfounded.

"I'm fine, I just got a surprise." Li Qingyou stepped into the house, and Xiaoshan Niang followed closely behind. She lit the oil lamp, and finally there was light in the dark room.

"I'm afraid that my brother will be alone at home, so I asked Xiaoshan to go home and I'll stay." Xiaoshan's mother asked Li Qingyou if she had eaten. After hearing that she had finished eating, she asked again: "Why is it so late? I'm still here."

I'm afraid something will happen to you."

Li Qingyou poured herself a bowl of water and drank, then said: "Looking at it, I didn't expect it to be so late."

Thinking of his previous plan, Li Qingyou brought up the old matter again, "Auntie, I want to discuss something with you..."

Li Qingyou proposed to ask Xiaoshan Niang to help her take care of her brother and the family in the future. If she comes back early, Xiaoshan Niang can go home to live. If she comes back late like today, she can stay.

"The salary will be calculated as three hundred cents a month." Li Qingyou saw Xiaoshan Niang was about to speak, and interrupted before her, "Don't refuse in a hurry, one yard is one yard, and you can help once and twice, you can't

Years of help. I know this money is not much, but you and Xiaoshan will eat at my place from now on, and you two can also save food rations. Do you think so?"

In fact, it is more convenient to leave this job to the East and West Courtyard. If she comes back late, my brother can sleep directly in the East and West Courtyard. Whether it is Aunt Sun in the East Courtyard or Aunt Niu in the West Courtyard, they will definitely be happy.

But Li Qingyou still believed in Xiaoshan Niang more. Moreover, the mother and son had a difficult life, and Xiaoshan Niang often had to help others sew, mend, wash and wash to supplement the family income.

Xiaoshan Niang hesitated for a moment, "You really plan to do business, can you do it?"

Li Qingyou smiled, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. You won't know until you do it."

"Okay then, I will leave the house to you from now on, but you have to be careful outside. As the saying goes, people who do business are good, but don't let others fool you." Xiaoshan Niang

He explained a few more words, "We would rather not make any money than suffer a loss, okay?"

Li Qingyou's heart warmed up after he said a few words, and she quickly said that she heard them.

Xiaoshan Niang slept directly in the east room, and Li Qingyou returned to the west room after a simple wash. Adi's little face was flushed as he slept on the kang. He probably heard some movement, so he turned over and mumbled twice.

Li Qingyou hurriedly slowed down her movements until her brother fell asleep again, then she gently lifted the quilt and lay in.

For the next seven or eight days, Li Qingyou followed Manager Cao to various places around Qingshan County, looking at countless pieces of land, and was so busy that it was dark and dark.

Finally, on the ninth day, three pieces of land were selected, one of which was in Lijiazhuang.
