There was a hint of uneasiness in Liu Guiying's eyes. She bit her lips tightly and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands.
Zhao Wen lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look Lan Guoer in the eye. His cheeks flushed slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Only Zhao Wuqiang straightened himself up and gave Lan Guoer an embarrassed smile.
"Sister Guo'er, I... I've brought my mother and brother to seek refuge with you! What kind of work can you arrange for us?"
Zhao Wu glanced around the room as he spoke, looking like he was about to get to work! Sister Guo'er was their family's benefactor, and he wasn't here to eat for free!
Lan Guoer noticed the reservedness of the mother and her two children and gestured for them to sit down and talk.
"There's no rush for work. You've just arrived, so settle in and get familiar with the environment."
After saying this, seeing that they seemed even more uneasy, I knew that if I didn't arrange their work properly, they would be even more uneasy, so I said again,
"My third uncle should have discussed Zhao Wu's job with you. He has his own arrangements. As for Aunt Guiying, you can help Aunt Qing at home. Aunt Qing will arrange your job."
Lan Guoer had already discussed with Qinghe about finding help for the family.
Qinghe received professional training when he was in the Lan Mansion, and he has been with Old Man Lan for so many years, so there is no problem for him to be a housekeeper.
Moreover, as the situation eases and living standards improve, Jinyuan will inevitably need to add more staff in the future, so it would be good to standardize management as soon as possible.
"What about me... me?"
Zhao Wen hadn't heard anything about the arrangements for him, so he asked nervously!
He was young and could earn work points by cutting grass for pigs at home, but it seemed that there was no grass for pigs to cut at Sister Guoer's house. He was really afraid that he would have nothing to do and that Sister Guoer would dislike him.
"Xiao Wen is already 8 years old this year, right?"
Lan Guoer looked at his anxious look and asked with a smile.
Zhao Wen nodded vigorously, "I'm 8 years old now! I'm very strong and can do many things! Sister Guo'er, please find me a job!"
Looking at his anxious look, Lan Guoer thought he was quite cute!
But as someone from the future, she couldn't possibly knowingly break the law and employ child labor, even though there were no relevant laws in this regard yet.
"At your age, it's time to go to school, so you'd better study hard! How about you help Sister Guoer when you grow up?" Lan Guoer said with a smile.
"study?!"
After hearing Lan Guoer say this, Liu Guiying was the first to react, her eyes full of disbelief!
"My dear Guo'er, you... you mean, can my second son... can he go to school? Study in this great Kyoto?"
Before his death, Zhao Wudie always respected scholars.
So he worked hard every day to earn work points, just to save more money so that he could send his children to school when they reached school age.
Who knew that in the end...
Liu Guiying was so excited that her eyes were wet when she thought that her husband's wish might come true.
"Of course!" Lan Guoer affirmed, "There's a primary school not far from here. It should be starting soon in the next couple of days. We can go there then."
Although going to school in this era was not as strict as in later generations, a household registration was still required. However, with Lan Guoer's current network of connections, she naturally had no worries about completing the admission procedures.
"That's great! That's great!" Liu Guiying excitedly clutched her trouser legs and pretended to kneel down in front of Lan Guoer.
Fortunately, Lan Guoer reacted quickly and stepped forward to support her.
"We're all family from now on, so there's no need to be so formal!" Lan Guoer really couldn't stand this!
"Mom, just listen to Sister Guoer! From now on, we will do good things for Sister Guoer to repay her."
When Zhao Wu heard that his younger brother could go to school, he was naturally very grateful!
He knew that Lan Guoer didn't like these empty formalities, and he had already made a decision in his heart that his life from now on would belong to Lan Guoer, and he would never let Lan Guoer down for the kindness she had shown to their family.
Relatively speaking, people of this era are still very simple and sentimental. Lan Guoer unknowingly gained two little fans who were totally devoted to her.
Before dinner, Master Wu and Master San returned to Jinyuan together.
"Guo'er, do you still have any hundred-year-old ginseng? Can you get one for Uncle Wu?" Grandpa Wu asked as he walked in and sat on the armchair.
"Uncle Wu, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take your pulse first?" Lan Guoer asked with a frown.
I thought Mr. Wu was feeling unwell and wanted to use century-old ginseng to regulate his body.
But from a medical point of view, although ginseng is a good thing, it is also a tonic, and it may not be a good thing for normal people to eat it!
Master Wu waved his hand.
"I'm fine! I didn't ask for this ginseng. It was given to an old leader. I heard that he's not doing well recently, so my family is asking around for this old mountain ginseng.
Although this old leader is old, all his sons are great!
I'm not thinking about it, if you have any, we can send it to our old boss as a favor, so that we can have more help in the future!"
After hearing what he said, Lan Guoer naturally understood.
It’s not that Mr. Wu is worldly-wise and smooth-talking!
In this life, how many people can be completely independent of the world and stay away from all kinds of relationships?
Ultimately, most things in this world still rely on communication and cooperation between people to accomplish.
Therefore, if you want to make your life easier, it is wise and necessary to gather some connections and resources that are beneficial to you in a timely manner.
"Okay! I'll get it for you in a while!" Lan Guoer replied readily.
"Hmph! You're so generous! Even in those deep mountains, there aren't many wild ginseng that's a hundred years old, right? You're giving them away one by one, aren't you afraid they won't be available by the time you need them?!"
Seeing Lan Guoer's indifferent look, the Third Master thought that she didn't care about the hundred-year-old ginseng because of Tang Zhan's extraordinary ability.
But even if Tang Zhan has the ability to communicate with animals, he needs wild ginseng that is over a hundred years old to find it! Moreover, this hundred-year-old ginseng can save lives at critical moments!
He doesn't think any connections are more important than Lan Guoer's own!
As he said this, he rolled his eyes at Master Wu again. He had lived to such an old age, but he was still a fool. He was becoming more and more ignorant as he got older!
"I just thought you had some more roots there!"
Lan Guoer couldn't say that she had so much ginseng that she could eat it like a carrot, right?
Thinking about the time when Third Master got a 300-year-old wild ginseng from Tiger Dad in Heilongjiang Province, it couldn't help but serve as an excuse.
"Besides, the mountain in my hometown in Heilongjiang Province is a treasure trove. Maybe there are even older ones in it! We will always have a chance to dig in the future."
This is also a disguised consolation.
The Third Master gave up and said nothing more.
