Chapter 230 We should find a way to make money
The weather in the north in October is already a bit cold, especially in the morning and evening, and many people wear an extra coat when going out.
Ye Zhishu was woken up by Wu Nianshu early in the morning and went shopping for groceries with Zhao Yuling. She was knitting a sweater at home.
When Ye Zhishu came back, Wu Nianshu was worrying about the pattern on her sweater. A single sweater always looks bad; it needs some patterns to look good and look more energetic when worn.
"What do you say I weave Twilight's name into it?
Ye Zhishu said with a frown:
"It's better to say goodbye, Mom. Although Ye Mu is only eighteen, she is not a child anymore. Not only did you knit such a pink sweater, but you also knitted her name on it. I don't think she would wear it."
"Why don't you just knit it like you knitted sweaters for us before?"
Ye Zhishu didn't know why his mother was so obsessed with knitting a sweater that wouldn't look good without other patterns.
"By the way, my uncle replied to the letter I sent last time, and also sent me a package."
As he spoke, he put the package in his hand on the table. He estimated that the last reply should have arrived, so when he went to buy groceries, he went to the post office specifically, asked, and then brought it back.
Wu Nianshu happily opened the letter and said:
"You're right. It's not a good idea to knit your name on it. When Mumu comes back and wears this sweater, it might be Chinese New Year. Why not knit 1975 on the front and 1976 on the back?"
Ye Zhishu glanced at Wu Nianshu with a hard-to-speak expression, then shook his head and said:
"Mom, if you believe me, don't knit anything fancy. Mumu will definitely prefer solid colors. She may not like it if it's too pink. Not all girls like pink."
"You're not a woman, why should I believe you?" Wu Nianshu opened the letter and started reading it herself with a dictionary.
Ye Zhishu said, "I'm not a woman, but Mumu and I both know how to draw. Although the nature of our work is not exactly the same, there are still some similarities. Believe me, she probably prefers simpler things."
"Okay. Don't disturb me while I'm reading the letter. Go and cook." Wu Nianshu urged Ye Zhishu.
Ye Zhishu had no choice but to carry the vegetables he bought into the kitchen.
Originally, Wu Nianshu and he had already made plans and even packed their luggage, and were about to buy tickets to pick Ye Mu up.
As a result, a letter from Ye Mu arrived in advance, informing them that she would be doing secret work for about two months and could not write to them during this period, so she wrote to inform them specifically.
She couldn't even write letters, let alone meet him, so the plan to find Ye Mu was put on hold. When the weather got colder, Wu Nianshu thought about knitting a sweater for Ye Mu, which led to what happened just now.
The wool used to knit a sweater is not cheap, but Wu Nianshu is willing to spend the money. They each had one in the early years, but this time Wu Nianshu bought enough for two, as if she wanted to knit two for Ye Mu.
Ever since they were able to contact Ye Jungui's family openly, the two families have been exchanging letters, sending each other things from time to time. The other side sent some things that were only available in the countryside, while most of the things they sent were more useful daily necessities from the city.
It can be considered as sharing what we have with each other.
Ye Mu naturally informed Ye Wansheng and the others about this matter. Therefore, when they could not contact Ye Mu, the two families would always mention a word or two about Ye Mu in their letters, waiting for her to complete this secret task beautifully.
Ye Wansheng has always been responsible for sending letters to them. Now, even if he goes out with a large package, the villagers will not make any movement.
Ever since the leader came that time, the attitude of the people in Yangshan Village towards them became strange. Some wanted to make friends with them, while others wanted to find out what was going on with them and why they moved out of the cowshed.
Some people are still full of malice, but they dare not show their malice and are told to walk around them.
Although they were still isolated, Ye Wansheng and the others didn't care.
Because of the incident with the Ye family, the team leader's attitude towards the people in the cowshed changed. He became relatively polite and organized the villagers to help repair their homes.
The control over them is not so strict now, so those who lived in the cowshed before are living well now. The two families who have a good relationship with Ye Wansheng and his family can live well without their help.
As for the other two families with whom he had a bad relationship, Ye Wansheng had never paid much attention to them. Ye Heshan had also reminded him more than once that the two families had ulterior motives and told Ye Wansheng not to have any dealings with them.
Ever since meeting Ye Mu, Ye Wansheng has picked up books and asked Lin Dan to help him find a lot of books to enrich himself.
There was not much farm work to do now, and seeing that Ye Wansheng wanted to read, Ye Jungui and Zhu Yuting let him study hard on his own.
Both of them were once teachers. Even though they were demoted here because of this identity, they still firmly believe that knowledge can change destiny.
There is still a gap between educated people and uneducated people. This is a gap caused by cognition.
Lin Dan returned home from time to time, and every time he returned, he saw Ye Wansheng reading a book, and he couldn't put it down. He wondered if Ye Wansheng was possessed by a demon.
That day he finally couldn't help but speak:
"When you went to see Sister Ye Mu, didn't you say she was doing well? Why do you look so determined to succeed after you came back? What motivated you?"
I don't know what he was doing. The weather was not hot anymore, but he was still sweating. His sweaty appearance made people suspect that he was not in the same season as others.
Ye Wansheng threw the palm-leaf fan on the cabinet to him and said:
"Mumu is doing well, but my sister is so outstanding, so of course I have to be even better. If one day she needs my help, I can't be helpless because I have no ability."
Lin Dan fanned himself, indicating that he understood his feelings. Didn’t he also run around outside all day, so didn’t he just want his family to eat better and dress better?
"Tell me, sister Twilight is a researcher, what can she do for you?"
Ye Wansheng was also quite puzzled. He felt that Ye Mu really had everything he needed, so he shook his head:
"Not sure, maybe money?"
Lin Dan has always had a good idea about money. He said, "If she is a researcher and needs money, it must be a lot. How much money would it take to help her?"
He thought it was an astronomical figure. Ye Wansheng clenched the book in his hand, turned a page, and said:
"You're right. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. I should find a way to make money."
However, although their family's situation has improved, they are still people who have been demoted, and it is impossible for them to make money.
Only by becoming a worker can you gradually earn more money.
Lin Dan paused while fanning himself, looked at Ye Wansheng and said:
"Otherwise, you can follow me?"
This was the first time he said this to Ye Wansheng. In the past, Ye Wansheng's family was watched too closely and there couldn't be any mistakes.
It’s different now, it’s totally okay to ask Ye Wansheng to join us.
