Chapter 471
The adults were still chatting, and the children went to get the house keys hidden under the jar.
"Why are you hiding here?"
Wu Mu watched Zhao Changan and the others struggling to move the large vat filled with water.
"It's not easy to spot here."
Wu Mu saw that they were struggling to move, "Why don't you get the water out before moving."
The water in the tank is very clear and is placed next to the duck pen to store water.
"Forget it, just move away. Put the water away and we'll have to fetch it later."
The tank is very big and it is not easy to fill it with water.
Wu Yang curled his lips, wasn't he just lazy, he would rather work hard than take a few extra steps.
Several people worked together to finally move the jar and dig out the soil underneath, revealing a small wooden box.
"Okay, found it."
The wooden box opened and inside was a bunch of keys.
After taking out the key and struggling to move the jar back, Wu Mu felt tired just looking at it.
"Let's go, open the door."
Every room was locked and the keys kept together.
Wu Mu leaned over to take a look. The keys looked similar. He couldn't see any big difference.
But the other children quickly found the keys to their own rooms and were able to recognize other people's rooms.
"This one is ours."
"This is for my room."
"This is from Brother Yang's room, I'll take it to him."
"This is from Uncle Chen's room. I'll hold it for him and help him clean the room."
"These two are from empty rooms."
Speaking of empty rooms, I will use them this time.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li want one room, and the boys from the Yang family want at least two rooms.
Wu Mu counted the rooms, "What about me?"
Divided in this way, the empty room is just right.
Zhao Changfu looked at himself and then at Zhao Changan.
How many of them.
"The three of us live together now, so we can't sleep anymore."
Zhao Changan smiled and said: "This is easy to say, the three of us plus the three of them."
As he spoke, he pointed at the three teenagers from the Yang family.
"There are six of us, divided into three rooms."
"It's just right, there are exactly three vacant rooms left."
Wu Mu spoke again, "What about me?"
Wu Yang took the key and walked over, "Live with me."
"There's no room left this way."
Wu Mu nodded, that's okay.
"By the way, are there any vacant rooms in the yard next door?"
I just heard that Grandpa He and Sister Yu live next door. There are four rooms, but two are empty.
"I'm going to move there."
Zhao Yicha raised his hand and said.
"I made a deal with Sister Yu on the way."
Zhao Yicha used to live with his parents, but now they just live in separate rooms.
"Me! I'm going too!"
Lu Ming also raised his hand and said, "I share a room with Sister Cha."
Wu Mu's eyes lit up, "Then so do I..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Nanzhou, "I want to move there too."
Wu Mu's eyes widened and he hesitated for a while, "Then I'll go with you."
"No."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Zhao Nanzhou.
"I'm with Xu Si."
Xu Si nodded with a smile.
Zhao Nanzhou and Xu Si had not shared a room before. They had slept in their own room in the capital. It would be hard to sleep with their parents when they came back. They were already five or six years old.
It's just that the courtyard of Lihua Village doesn't have so many rooms, but brothers of about the same age can sleep together.
Wu Mu pouted and looked at Xu Si, "Why don't you go with Xu Sange?"
Xu San sighed, he was the worst offender, having to take care of three children.
Zhao Changrui and the other three boys wanted to sign up for the group, so they all stuck to him.
"My brother has a heavy workload.
. "
Xu Si still had a smile on his face and didn't look worried about his brother at all.
"Chang Rui and the others are afraid of the dark."
Zhao Changrui warmly invited, "Ah Mu can come too."
Wu Mu quickly shook his head and refused. The four of them were so crowded.
"The rooms have been divided, let's go and clean them up first."
It's already afternoon, and I still have to go to bed at night, so I need to clean up the room quickly.
After tidying up my own room, I still need to help tidy up other places.
The children all dispersed and went to clean up.
Wu Yang led his younger brother to open the door to his room.
The door is open, it's a bit stuffy, the doors and windows are closed, and there's no air circulation.
Fortunately, there is only a thin layer of dust, and a little cleaning is enough.
Wu Yang went to open the window first, then looked back to see his brother standing in the middle of the room looking around.
"The house is a bit small, just enough for sleeping."
Wu Yang has been thinking about whether his younger brother will not adapt to it. This child will grow up with good clothes and good food.
His room alone in the palace was as big as the entire courtyard. From the moment he entered the courtyard, Wu Yang had been secretly observing his brother's reaction.
The child didn't have any dislike on his face. Instead, he was very excited. As soon as he came in, he ran all over the yard. He also stood for a while under two trees in the yard, looking like he wanted to climb up and take a look.
"It's ok."
"Brother, do you want us to clean up after ourselves?"
Wu Mu had never done anything like this before. He stretched out his hands for food and opened his mouth. Before Lu Ming and the others came to the capital, they had always been surrounded by servants. All he had to do was say what he wanted to do, and someone would do it for him.
"Yes, there are no waiters here, you have to do everything yourself."
Wu Mu nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder Sister Lu Ming never has anyone to serve her, and she doesn't like having maids following her around.
Zhao Yigui
He stuck his head out from the door, "Brother Yang, are you going to get some water?"
Wu Yang rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll go there later and tidy up the house first."
"Okay, I'll make more and give you a pot."
"Okay."
Wu Yang patted his brother on the head and told him the task, "Follow Brother Yigui to get a basin."
Wu Mu had no use resisting at all. Instead, he found it quite amusing and ran out happily.
"Brother Yigui, why are there no servants at home?"
Suddenly asked by Wu Mu, Zhao Yigui thought for a while and explained straightforwardly.
"No money."
Wu Mu pursed his lips. The well-dressed little prince still didn't quite understand.
The village was very beautiful, much like the villages in the suburbs of Beijing that he had visited before. It was also full of grain, and it was golden and beautiful.
But Zhuangzi also has people to serve him.
"Here, get the basin."
"I'll fetch water first."
Wu Mu took the basin, which was still a little heavy.
"What are you doing with the basin?"
Zhao Yigui said while drawing water from the well: "I want to use it to clean the tables and chairs."
"The room has been unoccupied for so long and has accumulated dust. It needs to be cleaned carefully."
Wu Mu nodded.
When I returned to the house with the basin in my arms, I saw my brother using the handkerchief to wipe the tables and chairs with the sailor's nimble feet.
He had seen the servants in the mansion do these things, but he didn't expect his brother to do the same.
"I want to try it too."
Wu Mu felt inexplicably uncomfortable standing alone.
"Okay, come and try."
Wu Yang handed the clean handkerchief to Wu Mu and guided him step by step.
"First we have to wring out the veil."
Wu Mu watched his brother busy and roughly figured out how to do it, and wiped the stool as he had done.
The first time he worked, Wu Mu was very clean and wiped the stool carefully.
All over.
"It's amazing!"
Wu Yang was generous with his praise.
Wu Mu worked harder and harder, wiping all the stools clean in one breath.
Check carefully after wiping.
Wu Yang wanted to laugh when he looked at it, but he didn't expect that his younger brother was very careful in his work and was not lazy at all. The table legs were polished to a shine.
By the time Wu Mu finished wiping the chair, Wu Yang had already tidied up other places.
"Okay, I'm going to sweep the floor, you go and have fun."
Wu Mu was still a little confused. Didn't he scan it once? There was so much dust.
I looked at the ground again and saw that there was some dust on the ground that I had first swept.
I guess it was the dust that had just been swept off the tables, chairs and cabinets.
Thinking of the choking dust just now, Wu Mu retreated wisely.
Just when he heard the coughing next door, Yang Wulang rushed out, covering his mouth and nose.
