Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home-Chapter 1615 - : On the Manor

Chapter 1615: On the Manor

Songshi promptly organized their work schedules, which would commence the next day and last for half a month. By the end of the following month, they would receive half a month’s salary. The proposal was met with unanimous approval, and everyone expressed their happiness without any objections.

Working in the fields proved to be a welcome change from the strenuous labor at the docks and warehouses. Most importantly, the newfound stability allowed them to cast aside worries about the uncertainties of tomorrow.

Eager to begin their tasks, everyone couldn’t wait to start working.

Among them were orphans like Liu Fu, Qing Lian, Yan’er, and others, who lived alongside Zheng Sangge, Liu Changming, and the rest. The day they moved in, their joy manifested in tireless running around the courtyard.

That evening, the communal meal continued, and Songshi, along with the young steward of the manor, was invited to join. In the courtyard, Zheng Sangge and the others cooked diligently. Zheng Sangge, determined to make the occasion special, spent money on over 20 catties of pork, more than 10 catties of mutton, and six chickens. The women, busy in the kitchen, filled the air with laughter and chatter.

Despite the simplicity of the setting, the rich fragrance of meat made everyone’s mouths water. This feast surpassed even the grandeur of a New Year celebration. The joy of partaking in this sumptuous meal within the spacious and bright new houses fueled optimism for the better days that lay ahead.

With this, Zheng Sangge and the others officially settled down in the Cloud Water Town manor.

The farm in Cloud Water Town buzzed with liveliness. Songshi, as the chief steward, busily organized and instructed on various matters. In the initial days, he experienced the challenges and joys of overseeing dozens or even hundreds of people. Though fatigued, he found fulfillment in his responsibilities.

Unfortunately, the time had come for Lord and Madam to leave the capital to assume their duties, and Songshi, along with Qing Yan, Lixia, and others, would accompany them on this new journey.

It was rumored that the area wasn’t ideal, with numerous bandits, but Songshi remained unfazed. His Lord and Lady were astute and carefree, facing each day with smiles and happiness. As a servant with limited knowledge, he saw no reason for concern. It surely wouldn’t pose any problem.

Zheng Sangge was overjoyed to learn of Qiao Xuan’s impending visit. With little winter work to occupy them, everyone eagerly awaited Qiao Xuan’s arrival.

As the carriage approached, children ran home shouting, “Madam Shao is here! Madam Shao is here!”

Families emerged, gathering with smiles and shining eyes to welcome the approaching carriage.

“It’s really her!”

“I haven’t met Madam Shao yet!”

“Madam Shao is exceptionally beautiful and amiable. She even brought us candy last time. She’s truly wonderful!”

“Absolutely. Madam Shao is the finest Madam I’ve ever encountered!”

“Oh, you little girl, how many Madams have you met!”

Laughter ensued. Regardless of the number of people encountered, Madam Shao undoubtedly stood out as the best.

As soon as Qiao Xuan stepped off the wagon, someone took the lead. With Zheng Sangge and a few others exempted, the rest knelt down. “Madam Shao!”, “Hello, Madam!”, “Thank you, Madam!”

Tears welled in the sentimental women’s eyes once more. They covered their mouths, choked with emotion. Living a life beyond their wildest dreams, the sight of Qiao Xuan filled them with a sense of light and hope.

The surge of emotions within their hearts was palpable.
