After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 520 This apprentice is really worth it!

The two sisters-in-law were making dumplings while talking, and soon they had made several dumplings.

Seeing that it was almost done, Mrs. Ye pulled Mrs. Ye back into the house.

"You do your work, I'll take care of the accounts here."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ersao said in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you can also keep accounts now?"

"It was Qingtian who taught me all this. She used to go to school in the morning and then teach me how to read and do accounting in this room in the afternoon.

“Actually, I know a few simple things, and I can barely figure out the accounts of this small shop.

"She often has to go to Madam Lu's place in the afternoons recently, so she doesn't have much time to teach me."

"That's already great." Mrs. Ye said enviously, "I wish I could learn to read too."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye said, "Then let Changrui and the others teach you.

"Even if you only learn one character a day, you'll accumulate a lot over time!"

Mrs. Ye's heart skipped a beat, but she shook her head and said, "Forget it. Changrui is working very hard these days. He has to memorize books and write articles every day, and he has to spend more time practicing calligraphy than others. I won't cause him any more trouble."

"As for the two little ones..." Mrs. Ye curled her lips when she said this, "They are free, but I don't dare to learn from them!

“I don’t even know if I’ve learned it correctly!”

Mrs. Ye burst out laughing when she heard this.

"What's going on? Changzhao and Changfeng are still not paying attention to school?"

"Changfeng is okay. I don't know how he got the hang of it a while ago, and he suddenly realized he should work hard and make progress.

"But forget about Chang Zhao. I don't think he's interested in studying at all. He's not even as good as Niannian.

"Let him study for a few more years. Once he's able to read and write, you can find him an apprentice."

"Don't worry, some children are slow to catch on. Chang Zhao might one day catch on and learn to work hard just like Chang Feng!"

"If that's the case, then I'm so lucky." Sister Ye said as she sewed clothes, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, at the beginning I was so worried about this child that I couldn't sleep at night.

"But recently I've come to terms with it. Ten fingers are of different lengths!

"My second son and I aren't particularly bright, so I can't expect all three of my sons to have a talent for studying, right?

“Besides, not studying doesn’t necessarily mean you have no future.

"Look at these four brothers, none of them can read, but aren't they all living well now?

"As long as the child doesn't grow up crooked, I don't ask for much else."

"You're right to think so." Mrs. Ye nodded. "As long as you behave properly, you can be successful in anything you do."

The two sisters-in-law were chatting when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Mrs. Ye went over and opened the door, and found that it was Madam Lu who came in.

"Oh, I'm so tired this morning. Pour me a cup of tea first."

Madam Lu came into the room without any hesitation and asked Mrs. Ye for some tea first.

Mrs. Ye quickly asked her to come in and sit down, and poured her a cup of cold tea.

"I made some freshly brewed herbal tea this morning, cooled it in well water, and then left it out for a while. Now it's just right for me to drink. It quenches my thirst without being too cold."

When Mrs. Ye saw Madam Lu coming in, she immediately stopped working nervously and could no longer do any work.

Madam Lu gulped down half a bowl of herbal tea, then breathed a sigh of relief. She then said with a smile, "I'm a little careless about my image, please don't laugh at me."

"What's the big deal? The weather has been getting hotter day by day lately." Sister Ye quickly poured another cup of cold tea for Madam Lu. "In the past, you were so busy working for our family. I can't thank you enough, so how could I laugh at you?

"As far as our relationship is concerned, you are Qingtian's master, so what's the difference between you and one of our family members?

"When you get home, you should relax and do whatever you want, right?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ye Er looked at Mrs. Ye Da with a strange look in her eyes, and even her nervousness seemed to be dispelled a lot.

When did my sister-in-law become so good at talking?

It turns out that opening a store in Beijing is a real training!

Ye Ersao used to think that it was good enough for her to take on some work making clothes like she does now. She could earn a lot of money and still be able to take care of the family.

But seeing Mrs. Ye like this, he couldn't help but think about opening a store in Beijing.

But these are secondary. The most important thing now is to wait and hear the news that Madam Lu brings.

After Madam Lu finished her cold tea and took a breath, she finally stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Second Sister Ye. She said, "Two pieces of good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

When she heard that it was all good news, Ye Ersao's heart started beating wildly and she was speechless.

"Since they're both good news, I'd be happy to hear whichever one comes first." Sister Ye continued with a smile, "Please don't tease my sister-in-law. She's introverted and shy."

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight!

"I have shown the Queen the clothes and embroidery patterns you have made, and she has decided to give you the job of making clothes.

“Don’t worry, although time is tight, I will hire a few more embroiderers to help you.

"The second good news is that I have already gone to see Mrs. Duan and Miss Duan, and they both agree to let you postpone the delivery.

"But there is only one requirement, that is, after making clothes for the Queen, you must make them for them immediately. You can't take other jobs in between."

"That's for sure. It's embarrassing enough to have been delayed, so how can we delay it any further?"

"But after you finish making the dress for the queen, you'll probably have to go to the Duan family again. Madam Duan and Miss Duan might have other requests for modifications to the dress."

"Okay, okay, no problem. The delay in making the clothes was originally due to me. Even if some parts need to be redone, that's absolutely fine."
