Changing the name

(Not Edited)

Speaking of the name Ji Anan, the little guy's surname is no longer Ji. When he settled down, it was completely changed to Gu Anan, following Gulan's surname.

Before changing the surname, Gulan specifically asked for her son's opinion. The little guy nodded in agreement without any hesitation and was very happy to be able to take his mother's surname.

And those former family members have been buried deep in An An's heart, and will probably disappear completely in time.

"Mom" An An was finally woken up by Gulan's pinching on the left and right. He hugged his mother's hand with sleepy eyes.

"It's time to wake up, otherwise you won't be sleepy at night." Gulan gently pulled out his arm, pulled his son out of the quilt, and sat on the bed.

Feeling the cold outside, An An shivered, then woke up immediately and obediently asked his mother to help him put on clothes.

After tidying up, the mother and daughter left the house.

Butler Jin was directing everyone to put up the beds and furniture in the ward. When he turned around, he saw his masters coming out and quickly ran to greet them.

"Young Master"

"Have you unloaded everything?"

"Yes, we have just finished unloading. The quantity of things is correct and they are being carried into the room." Butler Jin bowed and smiled.

"Well, put the extra ones in the warehouse for now."

"yes"

On the other side, the manager who was delivering the goods hurried over when he saw the owner coming.

Gulan had bought things from their wood shop quite a lot these days, and he already knew the managers.

"Manager Zhao," Gulan nodded politely to Manager Zhao who came over to greet him.

"Master Gu," Manager Zhao hurriedly returned the gift, "The furniture you ordered has been unloaded. If there is no problem, the remaining..."

"Thank you for your hard work. These are the remaining silver coins. Please count them, Manager Zhao." Gulan understood what was said before he finished speaking and handed over the silver coins that he had just prepared.

"What do you want to order? Don't we trust you, sir?"

Although he said so, he nodded honestly. After all, any mistakes before the money was credited to the account would be his responsibility as the manager.

After receiving the silver, Manager Zhao smiled more sincerely, "Yes, thank you, Master Gu. If you need anything, please come to Zhou's Woodworks. I dare not say anything else, but I can definitely give you the lowest price. In this case, I will not waste your time. I will take my leave."

Gu Lan nodded and looked at Butler Jin, "Send Butler Zhao off."

Butler Jin: "Butler Zhao, please!"

"You're welcome." He nodded and left the yard with Butler Jin and the servants.

The cleanup was then done quickly, and the bed and furniture were put in their respective places.

With these, the room was no longer empty, but now had life.

Looking at the brand new bed, bedding, and furniture, the newly arrived housekeeper Jin and everyone else felt relieved.

Thinking about how I used to sleep on a big bunk bed with everyone else, covered with smelly bedding that had been there for who knows how many years, the conditions now can't be any better.

No more having to be judged by buyers and feeling anxious and uneasy about the future.

Preparing so many things at once, including new cotton-padded clothes, shows that the current master is not the kind of person who treats servants as non-human beings.

For these branded sinners, all they hope for is to meet a good master, and now they are very satisfied with this.

For a moment, everyone was excited and knelt down to thank their master.

It happened a little suddenly. Before Gulan could react, a dozen people led by Butler Jin knelt on the ground, which even scared Xiao Anan.

Resisting the urge to turn around, Gulan asked them to get up.

"Alright, there's no need to kneel down all the time. Doing your job well is the greatest way to show your gratitude to me. Get up, there's a lot to do. Go in and clean up quickly."

Hearing this, everyone went back to their rooms to pack up in excitement.

Looking at the soft bedding laid out, the clean and warm winter clothes, and the clean house without any odor, my spirit immediately became different.

Then, under Gulan's special instructions, within an afternoon, more than a dozen people cleaned themselves up and changed into clean clothes.

Especially the hair, I washed it many times with the soap given by the owner, and combed it carefully countless times with a comb to clean it thoroughly, and there must be no dirt in it as the master said.

When everyone appeared in front of the master again before sunset, Gulan nodded with satisfaction, and the unpleasant smell on his body finally disappeared.

Then she briefly talked about the rules she had urgently set, one of which was personal hygiene. In short, even in the middle of winter, one must take a bath once every ten days and wash one's hair twice. One must keep oneself clean and must not have any parasites on one's body.

It's still an official brand. Although it looks okay at first glance, it's pretty shabby if you don't look closely.

If the Zhouya people were here at this time, they would definitely cry out for injustice. Their business is to buy and sell people, and they pay great attention to hygiene.

The main thing is that this group of people just arrived yesterday morning. They have been on the road for a month or two and have no time to clean themselves. They even cleaned themselves thoroughly at the dental shop before coming here, otherwise they would be even dirtier.

Taking into account the defecation and urination problems of so many people, Gulan then specifically instructed housekeeper Zhou to quickly take people to build two more toilets for their exclusive use in the backyard.

Don't worry about materials, there are plenty in the backyard.

There is no technical requirement for building a Gongfang. All you have to do is dig a hole, bury the jar and build a house.

With so many people including Butler Jin, it won't take long for them to be over.

In fact, with everyone's cooperation, the two simple toilets were built in less than half an hour.

Gulan also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, it wasn't that she was reluctant to let everyone use one bathroom, but she was used to a clean bathroom and couldn't stand the smell.

The toilet in her house was specially designed by her, with a flushing system. The pre-buried dung tank is located a few meters away from the toilet and is outside the toilet. When the dung is not being collected, it will be tightly covered with stone slabs.

Although there is still a little smell, it is much better now, and at least it is much cleaner.

Even the old masters who were building the house together praised Gulan's design and shamelessly asked him if they could use his method to build a toilet when they returned.

Gulan naturally would not refuse. These masters had already learned it, and there was no patent here. Why would he refuse and make these masters unhappy?

Besides, the yard at home is quite big, and there is a lot of space in the front yard. Is Gulan planning to build another house? Maybe he will need these masters when the time comes, so let's just consider it as a good relationship.

In short, the men's and women's bedrooms were built before dark, solving an urgent problem.

There is also a kitchen reserved for servants. They cannot share the same kitchen with their master. Seeing that there are still a lot of ingredients left, Butler Jin boldly suggested to Gulan.

Gulan had no objection and suggested building it if they wanted. It would indeed take time for so many people to use one kitchen.

Gu Lan still didn't cook for dinner, Cai Yu was still the chef.

After asking for the young master's opinion, I made rice porridge, pickled cabbage, black fungus and eggs, and a side dish that Cai Yu specially prepared using several kinds of radishes.

The taste was really good and the quantity was just right. There wasn't much left after the mother and son finished eating, and the rest was all given to Dahei. Fortunately, the taste was light, so it didn't matter if Dahei ate a little more.
