Red apricots make spring

Chapter 77
Seeing Ye Yu's rare expression of emotion, everyone was silent for a moment. After a while, it was Mama Wen who came forward and patted him on the back, comforting him: "Don't think too much about the past, from now on we will It's a family now."

Hearing this, Ruan Rou gave Ms. Wen a rare look of admiration, and Xiao Huan also echoed, "Yes, we will be a family from now on. If there is anything unhappy, you will feel better if you say it." She said He said, raising his head to look at Rourou: "My sister taught me this. I didn't want to live for a while, and it's thanks to my sister's forgiveness."

"Does the family still talk outside the box?" Rourou was afraid that Ye Yu and Xiaohuan would think about sad things any more, so she changed the subject with a smile, "By the way, where can I hire that guy I just mentioned?"

"Isn't it okay to buy a girl?" Mother Wen came up with an idea: "You can buy a smart girl for only four or five taels of silver, which is much better than hiring someone. Otherwise, there will be a kid in the yard all day long. It's also inconvenient."

"No!" This time, Xiaohuan and Wenrou objected in unison.They have experienced the pain of being maids without personal freedom. Although they know in their hearts that buying a maid is actually helping those who need money for emergency. Besides, they will not abuse their servants, but they still cannot accept it psychologically. .

"Let's hire someone. Anyway, there is someone to watch the house all day long. Besides, there are no men in the house. Ye Yu is there during the day, and Wen Gang also comes back from school at night. It's not a big problem."

"Okay!" Mother Wen gave in, and complained as she walked into the house: "Whatever you say is what you say, anyway, I'm not in charge now!"

Rourou and Xiaohuan looked at each other and smiled wryly, but Wenrou suddenly had an idea, and said to Ye Yu: "I want to ask you something, but I don't know if it will be possible."

"Tell me." Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised how she would say such begging words.

"I think—" Ruan felt a little hard to say, because what she was going to say might touch Ye Yu's heart again, so she hesitated for a while before saying, "Can Xiaohuan be your sister's household registration?"

"Huh?" Ye Yu didn't know much about Xiaohuan, and didn't understand what she meant by saying that.

"To tell you the truth, Xiaohuan is currently a fugitive slave, and she has no household registration..."

Ye Yu looked at Xiaohuan, thought for a moment, then sighed softly: "Okay! It just so happens that my younger sister is about the same age as her, so I will say that I escaped together with her."

"Great!" Rourou was a little excited, and finally solved Xiaohuan's household registration problem, and she was not afraid that someone would come to trouble her again, so she quickly pushed Xiaohuan, seeing her half-lowered her head, she seemed a little shy, and finally Finally, he still whispered to Ye Yu, "Brother!"

Ye Yu smiled slightly and said, "My sister's boudoir name is Ye Xing." As he spoke, he squatted down and drew the two characters on the dirt with his fingers.

Xiaohuan carefully watched the ups and downs of his fingers, and silently wrote down the strokes. Knowing the name on her household registration in the future, she will be called Ye Xing.

"The handwriting is not bad." Gentle sighed, why can't she write such elegant handwriting?Totally dog ​​crawling!It seems that it is time to practice calligraphy.Thinking about it, she frowned and said, "This can't work!"

"What's wrong?" Xiaohuan looked up in surprise.

"He!" Wenrou raised her chin and pointed at Ye Yu, "Since you can read, it's a pity not to study, why don't you go to study with Gang'er."

Ye Yu shook his head, stood up and clapped his hands and said, "No need! I don't want to get any fame."

"Study is not only for the sake of fame, but also to gain more knowledge and learn more things!" Wen Rou encouraged him.

"Then you can buy me a few books then, and I'll just read them when I'm free." Ye Yu pondered for a while and said, "I've learned all the characters, and I can understand them myself."

"Okay!" Rourou's current business is indeed inseparable from Ye Yu's help, but she decided to buy more teaching books that cultivate temperament and practicality and let him have a look. In the future, when the business gets bigger, maybe Ye Yu can be her accountant!
what!The more I think about it, the more I realize that Ye Yu is really a talent that can be cultivated!Wenrou stood there silly and laughed, not noticing that both Xiaohuan and Ye Yu looked at her strangely, and went off to do their own things.

When Wen Gang came back from school at noon, he was full of praise after tasting several zongzi with different flavors.After eating, he wanted to go to school to study, but was forced by Wen's mother, and brought a bunch of small rice dumplings tied with red threads to Xu Xiucai.

In the next few days, Ye Yu left an open space in the courtyard, got a pile of fine sand from somewhere, carefully spread it on the open space, and then found a pair of old chopsticks as pens. Xiaohuan squatted on the edge of the sand, one taught the other, and practiced calligraphy.Rourou occasionally watched from the sidelines, and learned a few traditional Chinese characters. As for practicing calligraphy, she has no time at all, but she bought paper and pens for Xiaohuan, so that she can spend time with Wen Gang when she is free at night. Practice calligraphy.

In ancient times, other resources may be relatively poor, but human resources are definitely not lacking. Soon Mama Wen took back a boy named Wang Shun, who was about [-] or [-] years old, from Ren Yazi. Those who come out to learn crafts are also willing to do part-time jobs.Rou Rou saw that he was still clever, so she accepted him. Fortunately, Wang Shun's house was not far away, so she could go back to sleep at night, so she didn't have to worry about the crowded house.

However, it often happened that the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master. It was impossible to keep Wang Shun here for two days. After learning the skill of making zongzi, would he quit his job and start a small business by himself.Ruan didn't have that much energy to find a buddy and teach skills all day long, so she discussed it with Ye Yu. Before hiring the young man, she drew up a document for him to sign. Set up a stall and open a shop, and give her [-]% of the profit.

"Will it be too oppressive?" Xiaohuan was kind, and worried for others.

He smiled softly and said: "It's only [-]%, not much. Besides, if he really went to do business secretly, we don't know. This document is just to guard against gentlemen and not villains. Let's take precautions."

"That's right! [-]% is too little, at least [-]%!" Mother Wen interjected, "Is it so easy to be an apprentice these days? You have to work for Master Bai for five or six years. Only when Master agrees can you become a teacher. In the future, during Chinese New Year and festivals, you have to always be filial!"

This is truly exploitative!Gentle smiled and listened, but naturally did not agree, found a middleman, read the document to Wang Shun, and after he approved it, they each signed the pledge, so the Wen family added another helper who was paid, and everyone's burden was slightly lightened.
