Chapter 139 Finding a Job
"By the way, Master Qian, do you know any female teachers?" Ye Caiping asked.
"Female teacher?" Master Qian frowned. "Why, do you want to hire someone for your daughter?"
"Yes. Even if they can't go on the scientific expedition, it's always good for them to learn some principles."
Old Man Ye and others were shocked. Hiring a female teacher for the maid at home? There are actually female teachers in this world?
Master Qian knew that many wealthy families had the habit of hiring tutors for their daughters.
But what surprised him was that Ye Caiping, a peasant woman, actually had such ideas and vision.
"It's a pity that I don't know anyone. But I can ask some old classmates."
"Thank you, Master Qian." Ye Caiping said with a smile, "It's getting late. We have prepared a light meal at Shunkelou. Master, please don't despise it."
"Hahaha, I'm just hungry."
The group stood up and left talking and laughing.
Mrs. Du chased after Master Qian and asked, "What should we do with Xuan'er and Peng'er now? Should we go home and wait?"
"Take the course here first and see if you can meet Master Shen. If not, continue studying and I will recommend you to take the county school entrance exam in April."
Master Qian is confident that Ye Xuan will be able to be admitted to the county school, but as for Ye Peng... Alas!
"Thank you, Master Qian." Mrs. Du was delighted.
Mrs. Du was sincerely grateful to Master Qian.
Some people want to make money, so they would take in as many students as possible and would never want them to leave.
Moreover, Ye Xuan has good qualifications. In order to become famous, some people are eager to recruit such a good seedling to their own home. No one would be willing to let him go.
However, Master Qian told the truth for Ye Xuan's future, which shows his noble character.
When the group left the main hall, they saw Ye Xuan and Ye Peng sitting in the corridor.
When he saw them, he immediately stood up and said, "Hello, Master."
"Well, let's eat together!"
Everyone came to Shunke Building.
After a satisfying meal, Ye Caiping went to pay the bill, but Mrs. Du rushed to pay first.
This is all for her son!
Mrs. Du was already extremely grateful to her sister-in-law for giving her dowry, so there was no way she could ask her sister-in-law to pay for this thank-you dinner for the teacher.
On the way back, Ye Xuan learned the reason why Master Qian was looking for them and was moved.
Ye Peng was depressed: "Why do I have to go to school?"
"You little brat!" Wei twisted his ear. "You better study hard and catch up. Maybe you can get into the county school in April with the teacher's recommendation."
"What are you thinking about!" Ye Peng rolled his eyes.
Then, Ye Peng was twisted so hard that he screamed.
Ye Caiping, Mrs. Du and others all laughed when they saw this.
Ye Caiping said, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, didn't Jinhua and Yinhua say last time that they liked making clothes? If you have time tomorrow, you can go to the town and find out which cloth shop or embroidery shop wants apprentices."
Wei thought, it costs money to learn this.
Mrs. Du said, "Little sister Jinhua, don't worry, she found it herself."
"Found it yourself?"
"It's the cloth shop where we bought cloth last time, the one with the surname Yao. Didn't Jinhua and the others receive several hundred coins as New Year's gifts? She went to that cloth shop several times to buy handkerchiefs and hairbands, and I don't know how she became so familiar with the shopkeeper."
"The shopkeeper Yao is looking for someone to do odd jobs. If she is willing to work for free, I will teach her how to make clothes."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "I didn't expect Jinhua to be so capable."
"Yes, just like me." With a proud look on his face.
"So when will she go to the cloth shop to help?"
"I don't know either. I'll ask her later."
Wei listened, feeling very nervous.
As they were talking, the ox cart had already entered the village.
The Du mother and son got off the car first, followed by the second wife's family of three. Ye Daquan then drove the ox cart into the cowshed.
Ye Caiping and Old Man Ye jumped out of the car and looked into the pigpen. It was clean inside and four little piglets were lying comfortably on the ground resting.
The chicken and duck pens are also tidy.
When they entered the house, they saw Old Mrs. Ye basking in the sun at the door.
"You're finally back." Old Mrs. Ye smiled.
"Where's the eldest sister?"
"She went back early in the morning." Old Lady Ye smiled brightly when she said this, and she pulled Ye Caiping aside and whispered, "Xiaoyan is really amazing, she is diligent and efficient. If it takes me an hour to do a plan, she can finish it in half an hour. With her around, I feel much more relaxed."
"That's good. Where is she?"
"She is doing embroidery in the house. Sisters Jinhua, Yinhua and Jin'er are also here."
"I'll go and see them."
Ye Caiping came to Yang Xiaoyan's room.
I saw five maids sitting on the bed, chatting and laughing while doing embroidery.
Ye Caiping couldn't help but wonder: "Xiaoyan's embroidery is so good?"
"Well, it's OK." Yang Xiaoyan smiled, "My former neighbor was an old embroiderer. She had no children. I occasionally gave her some things. She taught me how to embroider."
"Just by selling embroidered handkerchiefs, I can earn more than a hundred coins a month."
As she spoke, Yang Xiaoyan was suddenly startled, and looked at Ye Caiping eagerly: "Aunt, can I earn a few hundred yuan by doing embroidery work when I have time?"
Ye Caiping laughed: "Of course."
"Thank you, auntie."
Ye Caiping looked at Jinhua and said, "Jinhua, your mother told me that you found a job at the cloth shop in town?"
"Yes." Jinhua's face turned red. "Aunt Yao asked me to go to work in February, which is tomorrow. The time is also agreed upon. I can go home at 15:30 in the morning and 15:00 on the twentieth hour."
Ye Caiping nodded and couldn't help but look at Ye Yinhua.
Ye Yinhua said anxiously, "Auntie... I, I don't want to learn how to make clothes. I'd rather learn how to embroider from Sister Xiaoyan. Sister Xiaoyan... are you willing to teach me?"
"I'm not teaching you." Yang Xiaoyan smiled, "We're sisters, why would we care so much?"
Yinhua squinted her eyes with joy.
"You're good at embroidery!" Wei came in. "When I got home and didn't see Yinhua, I guessed she was here."
Then, she looked at Ye Caiping and said, "Little sister, don't bother with Yinhua's matter. Let her learn embroidery from Xiaoyan! As a girl, it's enough for her to have one or two good skills."
Ye Caiping nodded and said everything was fine.
Wei felt relieved and happy at the same time.
Ye Pengshuxiu has already asked Ye Caiping to pay. If Yinhua is not as lucky as Jinhua and can be an apprentice for free, she will have to pay to learn the skills.
I can't let my little sister pay Yinhua again.
Now I can learn embroidery by following Yang Xiaoyan, and it is close to home, so it is convenient for me to do any work when I get home.
"Is Mrs. Ye at home?" There was a sudden knock on the door.
Yang Xiaoyan was about to open the door when Old Lady Ye arrived at the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me! Zhao Xiong's mother, open the door!"
Which Zhao Xiong? Old Mrs. Ye frowned, opened the door, and saw Mrs. Lai and Zhao Laizi standing at the door.
"Isn't this Lai Pozi?"
Because Zhao Laizi's nickname was so famous, almost no one called him by his real name, so Grandma Ye didn't recognize it.
"What do you want?" Old Mrs. Ye frowned.
"Let's go inside and talk! It's a good thing anyway!"
As they were talking, Mrs. Lai and Zhao Laizi had already squeezed in.
Although Old Lady Ye was not on good terms with Lai Zi's family, there was no big conflict between them. They were from the same village, so it was not easy to chase them away.
"Come in and sit down!"
He led them into the hall of the outer courtyard.
