I wrote novels in the Republic of China

I looked at the road and sighed in my heart: "Little sir, can you give me a bowl of hot porridge? Let my cousin make it."

"Okay." The Taoist agreed to do it.

My cousin used to joke with her bodyguard on the street, but now I am scared. I am very lucky: I gave it to her aunt, and I didn't take anything for granted. I exchanged all of it for good things.

She carried her things on her back and followed her bodyguard into the kitchen tremblingly. Her aunt and cousin went back to work.

"Aunt, please help me." Her bodyguard, who had dealt with my cousin in the morning, spoke.

You finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Sorry for the trouble, I'll make it right away. How thick or thin do you want the porridge to be?"

The bodyguard said, "Young Master Ye is kind-hearted. Just cook the porridge until it's thick and fry some pickles."

The aunt and cousin agreed.

In the morning, she fetched some water for cooking, put water in the water tank, and her aunt cooked the porridge first.

After putting in a large piece of firewood, she watched the fire start. She then dug out the pickles from the jar next to her, cut them into small pieces and prepared to fry them.

As she cut, she calmed down.

The young master was holding her legs, and was angry at her because her new clothes were dirty. He really cared about her.

Although it was rare for her to eat, she didn't get hurt from beginning to end. She even made thick porridge for her to drink, so she didn't need to be afraid.

You, my cousin, just thought about it and made up your mind. When you saw that I bought some tofu for her, she took some and cut it and fried it with pickles.

In the countryside, putting some tofu in pickles is better than just pickles made of tofu.

When her aunt was cooking, she looked at him frustratedly and said, "Miss, I'm going to make a fool of myself again. How can you go away?"

"You go and make more jokes, and you'll see that she's kind, and you'll be better off." If you want that, you can send her a good card on the road.

She had never been exposed to later culture, so she was naturally happy on the road. When she smiled, her eyes sparkled.

"A little bit. I heard from Mr. Hong yesterday that you are planning to organize a manual snail eradication? Why not let the team do it?"

"Yes!" Some people nodded in agreement.

Organization: It's your job to eradicate the snails. Originally, we were planning to do it after formulating the rules. Now that we've caught up, we might as well let you help.

"Go and tell your cousin about her situation."

"Okay." Xie Daoshang said.

If you want to do that, you can go outside and start to play the victim to me, telling me about the schistosomiasis. You can also tell me that the disease is transmitted by snails. If you are willing to catch snails, you can bring them back to exchange for food. You can also remind me: "When you catch snails, you should catch them directly with your hands, or you can use chopsticks to avoid infection."

You may be afraid of this: learn how to prevent it, but it may scare you on the surface and exaggerate the horror of the snail.

You: I was really scared.

The man said, "If you are willing to go and catch them, you can do it. If you are willing to catch them, they will stay with you after you finish drinking the porridge, and we will distribute them."

I was just listening to you on the street, and when I heard you, I asked, "Distribute tools? Chopsticks?"

The teacher said: "In addition to the chopsticks, we also need to give her tools to install the snails on the surface."

　"Barrel? Let's go buy it."

"I can give you a wooden barrel. My cousin will definitely run away with the barrel. I also remember that the county town transported bamboo from Anji for sale. The bamboo heads are very big, so you can saw them into bamboo tubes, put them through a string, and let my cousin carry them to catch snails." That's true.

You didn't have plastic barrels in those days, and wooden barrels are not that easy to make and the price is not cheap.

If they really give out wooden barrels, you will definitely take the barrels and run away.

The bamboo tubes are not that valuable, mainly because there are not that many snails in them, and it is not easy to catch them on the surface.

"You can also tell them that if they find a snail infestation in their area, they can do the work for them."

"But you better finish building the orphanage soon. Even if you ask people to do the work outside, it will take several days." Some people said.

The old man asked, "Sir, have you ever thought about forming a construction team? Nowadays, many people are going to the concessions, where there is a shortage of people to build houses. After you form a construction team, you can help them build houses and make money."

I never thought about you on these roads before, but now looking back, it seems that she really can do it.

Then he said, "If you are afraid of losing your skills, you can first take them to the shantytown on the other side of the river to repair houses and practice your skills. You can also build a brick factory to make bricks, and then build a cement factory to make cement..."

The construction industry is the one that can absorb the most labor force.

Want to help those who are poor in this era: She can only rely on charity to make ends meet, the best way for her is to give her more and let her work.

After hearing this, the boy felt embarrassed and said, "There aren't that many girls."

"Then do it slowly," Yao Na Ke said, "Her strength is limited, you can help her as much as you can, just do it slowly."

Some people nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but say: "Miss Yao, you really know a lot!"

Not only does he know a lot, but he is also very brave to speak out.
If you want to do it, just build more cement plants and open more brick factories.

I've thought about it carefully. If I were Zigu, I would be able to do more if the young lady asked her to do something.

If I go back, I will ask my father for my aunt?
When she was young, she was on the road and thought about relying on her parents for support.

2: After talking, my aunt and cousin also prepared the porridge.

She said: Those who work need a bowl of porridge, with a spoonful of fried pickled vegetables and dried tofu on top.

But you also know that after you do this, she may do more and more things, but these bodyguards can always control the situation for her and scare them away.

As for the eradication of snails.

You know, in the last life, the whole country tried to eradicate snails, and it took many years before schistosomiasis was finally eradicated.

In her previous life, she lived in her village. The men had to work in the fields, and the women organized themselves to do it. They formed a "women's snail eradication team". She not only had to kill the snails, but also collected feces from each household and sent it for testing.

At this time, there is no condition for her to do so, and there is actually nothing she can do within her limits to possibly kill all the snails.

But if the watcher does a good job and publicizes the fact that the snail harmed her, then in the future, when the watcher sees the snail, he will definitely find a way to kill it.

You should do more to please her than anything else.

She said: You have to work, and then go. But the son said: Stay and do your work, and wait for the tools to be delivered in the afternoon.

Leaving them behind, there are many women, children, the elderly and the disabled. Those men can still find some work to do for them, but their lives are really difficult.

And you, it's time for lunch.

While you were there, your aunt had already helped the bodyguard prepare her lunch.

At noon, we had brown rice, steamed salted fish, and the vegetable stew with tofu that my aunt had just made.

Originally, I wanted to ask Aunt Mao to show more and wait for the Taoist priest to take the initiative to keep Aunt Mao, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was unnecessary, so I asked the Taoist priest directly: "Miss, do you want to hire a cook? Now she cooks for the maid, and she can cook for the children in the orphanage in the future."

"It is indeed necessary." After saying this, she looked towards her aunt and cousin who were helping the bodyguards distribute food in the distance.

If you want to, I would recommend my aunt: "My cousin's cooking skills are not that good, but she can also eat it, so you can let her go."

The man on the street agreed without hesitation: "Okay, you can do the same as the masons, just two corners of the sky?"

The boy was helpless: "Young man, in Shanghai County, please hire a cook. If you provide food and lodging, you can get two to three silver dollars a month."

She would like to give more money to her aunt on the road, but if you want the orphanage to continue for a long time, you should follow the rules and regulations, and you can't pay her too high a salary.

He was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Then let's get the silver dollar on the third day of the month."

"Thank you very much." Yao Na said jokingly, "Thank you, my cousin can be the head chef. If there is too much to cook, she will be busy and cook it. We can also hire two more helpers."

Labor was cheap in your time, but a lot of labor was needed, because after all, no matter what was done, most of it was done manually.

If you want, you can talk to your cousin about her job and tell her the good news immediately.

The aunt was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly: "Master Xie, you are so kind!"

She was praised again: She was very happy on this road.
Today at noon, her meat dishes included radish and pork ribs soup and braised lion's head.

She was praised continuously and was in a good mood, so she ate two bowls of rice in one breath.

My aunt and cousin asked me to eat together. She was very embarrassed to share the lion's head with me, and praised me repeatedly: "You have eaten it before, and its meatballs are the best."

A few months ago, she kept asking how she wanted to learn Wen. When she heard the compliment, she couldn't help but say: "Wei Tu can make meatballs with different flavors. Jiangbei will make a lot of meatballs during the Chinese New Year and save them for later consumption. She also knows how to make them."

My aunt and cousin hurried over to praise him, and then said, "Cousin, you should teach me how to cook tomorrow. You should also be a good cook. You should learn a few dishes."

If you want to learn Wen, you must agree to do it.

The cousin thanked Yaogu again and said that she would go to Yao's house for dinner tonight, or to the orphanage.

"Cousin, please eat more with me." She had to ask for it. The food in the orphanage was not good, but it was definitely better than what she had at her cousin's house.

My cousin said, "How can I just eat at your cousin's house all the time? I have to stay at your house for a few days. Her house over there is now built. She only has the kitchen and two bodyguards living there. She will also stay at your house for a few days, and then move in when the house is built."

My aunt has already made up her mind and wants to go home: there is no point in trying to persuade her anymore.

If I wanted to do that, I would watch my aunt finish her meal and then excitedly go to the next room. I would then take out some paper and pen and start writing "The Two-Faced Demon Lord".

She had no time to write or do anything.

Today, when she went to the county town, she saw a lot of people discussing schistosomiasis.

Some gangs are still running orphanages very seriously.

You just let her know that she can do her own thing, write her own thing, and make more use of her.

But when you first entered this world, you were faced with a terrible situation where you had no food or clothes to eat or keep warm.

At that time, she didn't have time to think too much, she just wanted to earn some money and eat well.

And now, she has gone to Quegu.

She did these things unintentionally and changed something: her destiny. The more she did, the more she could do.

Even if it can only help a few people, that would be great for her.

To that can look good to see that I have grown to less flesh her hands, intend to change to change myself to take over her daily.

In the past two months, she insisted on going to the county town to exercise more.

You have many children and can use her.

She was originally weak in health, but there was no major problem with her body. She started to get worse because she was too young and had poor immunity. Later, her health deteriorated, probably because she was picky about food and didn't like exercise.

For three months, you allowed her to keep exercising and make efforts to supplement nutrition. Now she is physically strong, but much better than before. In fact, she can still go to the county town every day.

For her now, compared with aerobic exercise, perhaps she should do some strength training.

At this stage, she has too much to do. Carrying half a bucket of water and walking around every day is enough to make her tired.

Next, do her exercise, such as walking around the yard twice with a bucket after you are tired.

If you do this, she can save a lot of time.

She can try to understand the world better, learn some knowledge, and do something meaningful.

After making a decision, take a deep breath and write a thousand-word manuscript.

Then she drew buckets of water from her well and carried them to the orphanage next door.

She has planned to dig a well in the orphanage, but the person in charge of digging the well said: I don't have time recently, it will take a few days to do it. It will be so convenient for you to use water in the next few days.

"Miss, how do you carry the water? If you need water, you can fetch it yourself." said the Taoist.

My aunt also stepped forward and said, "Well, you are not in good health, how can I carry so much water for you?"

It's ridiculous to say: "I'm fine, I'll carry your water. If you want to exercise more, go ahead. Let her have more strength."

My aunt and cousin tried to understand, but if they wanted to do that they would have to do farm work again. So, what's the point of building up strength?
Some people can understand: "It is indeed wrong to practice strength. Miss, do you want to learn some self-defense skills?"

She said, "You are too weak now, so you should learn as much as you can. When you have more knowledge, you will learn more. If you want to learn English, you can learn more."

She had talked to these gangsters several times and knew that most of them came from Southeast Asia to do business with her.

Nanyang became a colony very early. For the Chinese living in Nanyang, it was ok for them to just be ordinary laborers. But for those who reached the top, they had to deal with foreigners and had to speak English.

In her previous life, she studied English for many years and passed the CET-4 in college, which laid a solid foundation for her life.

But the job she did after graduation was not related to English, so she had forgotten most of the English she had learned in her early years, and her spoken English was even worse.

If that's the case, I'd have to start learning English all over again.

At that time, there were many foreigners in Shanghai. Knowing English could help her do more things.

"You are also very good at English. It would be difficult to learn English. Miss, are you sure you want to learn it?" the man asked.

Then she said, "She must learn. You can teach her when you are free. She should learn slowly. Don't worry."

She let some of them teach her on the road, and also made it easier for her to understand English and live a clear life.

If she learns some spoken English from others and memorizes some words on her own, she should be able to communicate in daily life with others.

"Then go and prepare some books. I will teach you tomorrow." Xie Daoshang also spoke excitedly.

"Thank you." She poured the water into her water tank in the orphanage kitchen and then returned home.

This afternoon, it's very lively next door.

She asked her bodyguards to buy a lot of bamboos on the road, saw them into bamboo tubes and distribute them to those who were willing to catch snails. She also asked her bodyguards to buy a lot of firewood, planning to burn all the snails with fire after they were collected.

As for that, she wrote three thousand words and carried three loads of water.

Then when she got up the next morning, her arms were so sore that she had to walk.

She really has a bad body. She lacks exercise.

"Sister, are you going to the county town?" She asked Yingzi to go to the house.

I started walking with my sister very early on, and we would chat on the way and talk about how she wrote "Water Margin".

"I'll go there later." Yao Na said ridiculously.

"Okay." Na Ying sighed.

It's obvious that he looks depressed now, so I laughed: "Why are you sighing? Go to school quickly."

Only if you want Na Ying will you follow Gu Shi out.

She said: It's not good to go to the county town, but it's better to go with my aunt.

She would buy more food, pickles and salted fish on the road before, and if there was less left, she would buy more when she needed.

But she would get tired of eating that every day, so the two bodyguards gave her two cents each and asked her to use the money to buy some tofu for the servant and use the money to buy some meat to improve her meal on the third night.
In the evening, she can go home for dinner more often.

The watch left quickly, and Na Ke lit the oil lamp and wrote a novel beside the stove.

It's still dark outside and a little dark in the room.

It will be warmer next to the stove.

It's already the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and it's getting quite cold.

That feels cold, she said: The shantytown on the other side of the river feels even colder.

Jiang Zuo held the little beggar in his arms, shivering as he tried to get out of bed.

As the moon goes by, I wish you little beggars good luck.

First, get a bag of rice from the kind-hearted lady, and then it will be much easier to ask for help from your cousin than before.

But no matter how much more aunts you get from her, there aren't many. All of them have been bought with cotton by Jiang Huagu.

In addition, Jiang picked up old clothes from dead bodies and made them into her clothes. He tried his best to make her a cotton-padded jacket. The bag she bought for rice was also taken apart and used other fabrics to sew a quilt.

But you don't reach for it.

At night, I was still shivering with cold outside, with two streams of snot under my nose.

Seeing that it was getting light, Jiang Zuo said, "We should get up and do our best. We should not go to the county town to find her."

"Brother, it's so cold outside, go and do it." Jiang Zuo said to the little beggar in her arms.

"It's cold even if we get up! It's better to move around and keep warm." Jiang Zuzuan climbed up and then screamed in pain from the cold.

When the child saw it, he followed suit, but the child didn't move.

Jiang Zuo came over to take a good look and said, "I wish Xiaocao would die soon."

"Brother, what should we do?" Everyone: Ask Jiang.

It would be better if her friend died in front of her.

But if I really want to express how sad I am, I have no choice.

After all, you've been to her so many times, and around her, she often says: death.

Jiang Zuo thought for a while: "Why not throw her to the construction site on the other side of the river? I heard that the boss was very kind and said he would definitely take her to see a doctor. He also said that she could go and ask for a bowl of porridge. I asked for some porridge there yesterday."

She went to the watchtower to find out about the orphanages being built on the road.

But I learned from my cousin last night that the woman over there was sending porridge to someone else to eat.

Before, my cousin cursed Mr. Zhang Si in the county town and hoped to get more girls, but now he has to go.

Nowadays, if you go to the county town to beg for food, you can definitely get a bowl of hot porridge.

"I heard that she works there and eats very well, but it's a pity that she is too young." The team leader who was second only to Jiang spoke.

After discussing with his father, Jiang Zuo carried Xiao Cao on his back, took the quilt and covered Xiao Cao with it, then led the group of children towards the orphanage.

To do that, you have to write more than 2,000 words and ask Gu to finish it in the reply.

I figured the roads should be fine by then, so I walked outside. Sure enough, I saw that the roads were already fine.

Seeing that, she took out a thick dictionary and a notebook: "You have an English dictionary with Chinese meanings. I'll give it to you! You can use the dictionary temporarily. Today I will teach you eight of the twenty-six letters."

After saying this, she took out a piece of paper with the twenty-six English letters written on it and placed it in front of the boy: "You read along."

When I get older, I never teach others anything.

In teaching: you are full of interest in learning English, and you should listen to the English lessons carefully.

But I have already memorized the letters by heart.

I'm only going to teach you the eight letters today, so please go a little slow.

After following the teacher to recite the eight letters, if you see the teacher going back to recite "A", you can say, "You can teach her the rest."

When the people on the road heard this, they read out the letters at the end of the letter and asked the person to learn from them.

After they finished reading all of them, the teacher said, "I'll read them to you twice more, and then you should concentrate on learning the first eight letters."

After saying these words, he asked Yao Na to read them twice, and then prepared to read the first eight letters, each of which he asked Yao Na to read dozens of times, and remember them firmly.

But at that moment, you said, "You have memorized these letters."

The man on the road looked incredulous: "Will you remember this?"
