Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 17 What a coincidence, we met again

"But... third brother and sister, we don't have any skills, how can we do business?"

When Yu heard what she said, she was very motivated for a moment, but when she thought about her lack of skills, she suddenly felt a little discouraged.

"Sister-in-law, you cook so well, how can you say you have no ability? Have you ever thought about setting up a roadside stall selling snacks or something? Or, you can go to a big restaurant and work as a cook for others, both are good options. ."

He Jiuniang opened her mouth and came. Yu was really good at cooking. She obviously didn't have any good seasonings on the way to escape the famine, but she could make a different kind of taste, especially the control of the heat was so precise.

Yu's eyes widened: "I know how to make country-style home-cooked food, how can I go to a big restaurant? Besides, I am a woman, how can I go out and show off my face?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't want to say such things!" He Jiuniang's eyes suddenly widened, "What's wrong with women? Women can still hold up half of the sky! We don't steal or rob. Making money by our own ability is something to be proud of. , don’t belittle yourself! If you don’t know how to cook, you can learn to do it. Start as an apprentice and take your time with these things. When you get to Anzhou, I will help you find out!”

"This……"

Mrs. Yu was still hesitant, so He Jiuniang asked Mrs. Qin directly: "Where are you, second sister-in-law? What do you want to do?"

"Me? I usually go up the mountain to collect firewood, find wild vegetables, and feed the chickens and ducks at home..."

Mrs. Qin smiled sheepishly. She didn't cook as well as her sister-in-law, and she didn't have any special skills. Especially since she didn't know how to speak well, she definitely couldn't do anything big.

"This is good!" He Jiu Niang's eyes lit up, "Second sister-in-law, you can do whatever you are good at. Raising chickens and ducks well is also a skill! Those big restaurants need a lot of chickens and ducks every day. It would be great if we could set up a line. A deal.”

"Is it still possible?"

Mrs. Qin was a little confused, it sounded like a good idea!
"Of course! A capable person can survive anywhere!"

He Jiuniang vowed that she had already thought about how to arrange the people in her family when she arrived in Anzhou.

She turned around and asked Boss Lu: "Brother, you..."

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Sun suddenly interrupted her, "If everyone in the family goes out, who will do the work at home? Besides, these are all invisible things. Don't say so much to make people miss you. It’s annoying!”

Mrs. Sun glared at her with dissatisfaction. It would be too early to say this without knowing what was going on in Anzhou. Moreover, if the situation was not good, she had no time to let her family wait for so long. If things were not done well, the second bedroom in the big house would There will inevitably be complaints. How can a family be harmonious then?

He Jiuniang smiled and said nothing, okay, it's really unrealistic to say this now, let's wait until we get to Anzhou to make plans.

Anyway, it's a long time coming to Japan.

Just as she was thinking about it, the girl beside her suddenly tugged on her sleeve again and asked in a low voice: "Third Aunt, I also want to study. Can I study?"

"sure!"

He Jiuniang's eyes brightened again. In this era, there were not many girls who actively wanted to study.

After thinking about it, she added: "But it seems that girls can't go to school. Our family can't hire a female teacher for you for the time being, but we can let Leizi and the others go to school and then come back to teach you. After they save some money, we can I'll hire a female teacher to educate you at home. Our girls are just like boys, they are the favorites of our parents, and we don't want to favor boys over girls. Right, mother?"

This is also what makes He Jiuniang more gratified. Although Sun is sometimes very talkative, she treats all the children in the family equally and does not favor sons over daughters.

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes: "I asked you to say all the good things!"

It is a good thing that all the children in the family can read. Ms. Sun has no objection. Her family was too poor before and she never thought about it. Now that she has money, it is a good thing that her children can go to school to read and learn calligraphy.He Jiuniang smiled and said to You Yatou: "Look, your grandma has agreed."

Ting Yatou, the second daughter of the eldest daughter on the side, asked in a low voice: "Can I do it too?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "Youyou has already learned it. There is no reason why you should not learn it. Don't worry."

Then the little girl said again: "But I want to learn embroidery even more..."

Mrs. Yu pulled her daughter funny and said, "No one in the family knows that delicate work, but no one can teach you."

They can do some needlework, making clothes or mending the soles of clothes and shoes, but they cannot do fine work such as embroidery, which is not something they, country women, can learn if they want to.

He Jiuniang didn't take it seriously: "It's not easy. Just go to Anzhou and find an embroidery workshop in the city to learn. It's a good thing to have a hobby. After you finish your studies, you can support yourself wherever you go."

Yu didn't say anything. She was very moved. After all, her daughter was capable and she would be proud of it.

It's just that you have to pay tuition to go to the embroidery workshop. Now that the family has not been separated, it should be paid by the middle school for the children to go out to learn crafts. I don't know if the two elders are willing.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu secretly glanced at Mrs. Sun.

For the first time, Mrs. Sun did not say anything about He Jiuniang. She felt that what He Jiuniang said was reasonable. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, he can never go wrong if he has a skill.

After thinking for a while, she said: "When we get settled in Anzhou, we will go to the city to have a look."

Ting Yatou immediately laughed. She thought it was a far-off dream, but she didn’t expect her grandma to agree so easily. The third aunt is so amazing!

Then, she looked at He Jiuniang with the same eyes as Youyatou, full of caution and twitching.

With this happening, the children's laughter became even louder, causing other families to look over and feel that the Lu family had such a good attitude, even though they were on the run, they could still laugh.

As they were walking, they saw a carriage parked not far away. He Jiuniang looked familiar, so she took a closer look. It was the same carriage that had rescued them on the mountain a few days ago, but why did it stop halfway?

He Jiuniang was about to step forward and ask. After all, this carriage looked luxurious, and she would never miss any opportunity to gain connections.

Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come over. It was the little maid with a double bun and a bamboo tube filled with water in her hand.

"Girl, what a coincidence, we meet again."

He Jiuniang pretended to be familiar and walked up to her. Ling Yue didn't like her familiarity, but now that her wife was unwell, she still had to interact with this family, so she endured her displeasure.

"I want to buy some water from you," Ling Yue said. Thinking that water is more precious than gold nowadays, she added, "I just need a bamboo tube, any amount of silver is enough."

They have run out of water and have sent people to Qianzhou City to buy water, but they haven't bought it back yet.

When Old Man Lu saw that the person who came was his savior, if it hadn't been for this little girl's help, they wouldn't be where they are today. He immediately said: "Girl, you are serious. You have saved our family's life. It's too late for us to be grateful. How can we accept it?" The girl’s money?”
