"Aretha, don''t be rude, call the count!" seeing that her daughter called brother Arthur, the little girl''s mother was surprised and immediately sternly educated.


    The little girl held her mouth and looked at her mother wrongly. She didn''t understand what she had done wrong. The count was clearly a brother.


    "It doesn''t matter, madam," Arthur said with a smile and coaxed at the little girl in his arms. "Miss Aretha likes to call me that. Just call me that." brother "is a wrong choice."


    Arthur''s words relieved the little girl''s mother and the women around her, with a happy expression on her face.


    Since they came to Shangli village, they can always hear people here praise how kind the count is, which they certainly believe, because the other Party liberated them.


    But now, watching Arthur hold Aretha in his arms, with a gentle tone, they felt a touch of closeness in addition to kindness, and their fear suddenly decreased a lot.


    The reaction of the adults greatly puzzled the little girl. Her eyes were full of curiosity. She looked at her beautiful big brother and asked, "big brother, what does the count do?"


    The little girl has no scruples about what she thinks and asks what she thinks. She won''t think about whether her question is appropriate or not.


    "Lord count..." Arthur thought and looked at the confused little girl. "Lord count is a person who must work hard to make everyone happy."


    Arthur''s words shocked the women around him. For a moment, his eyes were full of deep respect.


    The little girl frowned, thought about it seriously, and said frankly, "well... I don''t understand!"


    The little girl''s reaction amused the people. Leia stood beside Arthur with a smile on her face. Most women smiled and looked at the little guy helplessly.


    This is the child.


    Arthur smiled, looked at the little guy in his arms and said, "I don''t know. It doesn''t matter. When you grow up in the future, you will naturally understand what I just said."


    Grow up? The little girl looked at Leah quietly.


    She had never seen such a beautiful sister. Her clothes and hair were clean and neat. Just now she was riding on a horse.


    "Is it as big as this sister?" she asked. "Big brother, is this beautiful sister your wife?"


    The little girl''s words made Leah stay where she was, and her smiling face turned crimson. In front of so many people, she was even more shy and nervous than before.


    "Aretha," she said to the little girl with a red face, "I''m just Lord Arthur''s maid..."


    The little girl didn''t seem to understand the meaning of "maid". Seeing that her face was red, she said anxiously, "sister, your face is so red. Are you going to be ill?"


    Leah''s face reddened.


    The women around her all showed a clear smile when they saw her bow her head and say nothing.


    "Leia," said Arthur, "our Miss Aretha just praised you for being beautiful!"


    "My Lord!" cried Leah, blushing. At this moment, she really wanted a room where she could hide.


    After laughing, Arthur said to the little girl in his arms, "you''re right. As long as you grow up to be as old as this beautiful sister in the future, you will understand what I just said."


    "How long will that take?" asked the little girl.


    "It won''t take long. As long as you listen to your mother every day and eat well, you will soon grow up." Arthur answered the little girl''s question. "Do you eat well every day? Is the food here enough to fill your little belly?"


    With that, Arthur shook the little girl with a smile on his face.


    "Hmm!" nodded, and the little girl said very seriously, "I have a good meal every day. I soak bread in soup and eat full every day!"


    "Really? Then tell me what color the bread is and what soup you like best? Can mom eat like you?"


    "Really, really!" seeing that Arthur didn''t seem to believe himself, the little girl immediately said, "the bread is yellow. I like the soup with tofu and green vegetables best, and pumpkin soup. Tofu is white - very soft! Pumpkin soup is sweet. My mother also likes it very much. When I come here, we eat full every day!"


    "Well, you can say it so carefully. You must have a good meal every day!"


    The little girl grinned, showing her row of small teeth and smiled happily.


    Looking at the happy little girl, Arthur then asked, "how about sleeping? Do you sleep well at night? Will you be awakened by cold? If you don''t sleep well, you won''t grow tall."


    "Uh huh." the little girl nodded quickly, "I have a good sleep every day. It''s not cold at all. My father and brother go to work. I sleep with my mother. I have a new blanket. It won''t be cold and warm until dawn."


    After listening to the little girl, Arthur nodded slightly, looked at her and said seriously, "wait! In a short time, our Miss Aretha will become as beautiful as sister Leia!"


    "Hee hee!" hearing Arthur''s words, the little girl jumped into his arms, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at Leah secretly.


    Aretha was just a child. Naturally she didn''t understand the meaning of Arthur''s problem, but the adults around her understood his intentions almost instantly.


    Suddenly, the women were greatly moved to look at him. They never dreamed that a count and nobleman not only gave them land and freedom, but also cared about whether they ate well and slept well.


    ……


    When Arthur held Aretha in his arms, communicated with the women and asked them whether they were assigned the land, the village head sang Ze trotted all the way to Arthur with his two sons.


    "Lord, Lord Arthur."


    Seeing Arthur holding a farmer''s child, sangze was slightly stunned, but he gasped and saluted immediately.


    Arthur looked at old sangze. When he saw mud on his shoes, dust on his trouser legs and ink on his hands, he said, "I have free time today, so come to the village and see how the farmers are resettled?"


    "Yes, yes," old sang Ze said immediately after gasping for two. "Everything is going well. So far, the village has accepted 341 households, 1673 people, 37 cattle, 98 sheep and 100 pigs..."


    After hearing the report from village head sangze, Arthur nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that he was still panting and booing, he opened his mouth and said, "there are many things in the village when new personnel arrive. You should pay attention to your health. Some things can be done by your people or your two sons. If the personnel registration is really busy, I will consider sending one or two bachelors."


    "Come on, come on!" hearing Arthur''s words, old sangze immediately stopped panting. "Don''t worry, sir. Although I''m a little old, I''m still in good health. As long as Arthur trusts me, sangze can serve you for at least 20 years!"
