Erya followed, and before there were two plows, Wen Yue was clamoring to go to the ground to play. Although the high parts of the fields were dry, there were still water and mud in many ditches and low depressions. If Wen Yue was covered in mud, she would have to go back early. But she had other things to do today, and she wanted to do them by the way.

So she didn't follow Wen Yue's crying, so she said hello to her uncle and left her field and went to the widowed women in the town.

The guard who lived on the periphery saw that it was the lady of the owner who came over, and hurriedly helped to call the door, and shouted at the top of his voice while banging on the door: "Granny Li, open the door quickly, the lady of the owner is here!" ”

In the courtyard, where a row of young women were sitting under the eaves of the porch, wearing yarn shirts and socks, when they heard the shouting, they did not run into the house with their work in hand, but put down their work one by one, and gathered at the gate of the courtyard, dressed and straightened their hair, ready to meet the lady of the owner.

As soon as Erya entered the door, he was taken aback when he saw a line of people standing in rows on both sides. I couldn't help but smile and ask them, "What are you doing here?" I've discussed it to scare me! ”

Granny Li, who opened the door, replied with a smile: "It's the lady of the owner who has been busy and rarely comes, they are happy to see you coming!" ”

Er Ya smiled and said to the women on both sides: "Sit down where you are, continue to be busy with your own affairs, I will have something to do in a while, and I will look for you alone." ”

Although they didn't know what they needed to talk about alone, they were used to doing work, and they didn't have time to gossip, so they all obediently returned to their respective seats on the eaves of the porch and began to be busy with the work in hand.

Erya's plan to come here today is what she has wanted to do for a long time, to set up a children's clothing workshop.

After so many years in the sweater and fur coat business. Erya found that it was really difficult to change people's deep-rooted dressing habits.

The styles of those fur coats and sweaters were originally very fashionable and foreign, but what did they look like by the daughters and ladies who wore skirts and embroidered shoes?! Erya didn't dare to look at it, it was really a copycat version that she finally tossed out! Is it easy to think that she can copy so many copycats just by relying on her hazy memory? Outcome. These people's nondescript and random combinations are purely ruining her hard work.

This is not the most annoying, what makes Erya unbearable the most is that those women from big families, official families, nobles, and rich families are all bound to their feet. This is not the government's hard fate, but those self-righteous and crippled aesthetics, leading to a perverted era aesthetic with small feet as beauty.

This made Erya's former snow boot business abortive. It also aborted her plan to set up a shoe-making workshop. So many beautiful and colorful high-heeled shoes, leather shoes, sneakers, etc., which can be copied, must all be forgotten in memory, how can Erya stand it? !

So, she vowed to change the perverted foot control of this era. Although there are not as many sons, brothers, and daughters who stayed abroad during the Republic of China, they can lead the new tide to change the entire era. But she can take her time. In the way of "boiling toads in warm water", let those perverts slowly and unknowingly, be killed by the new, healthy perfect controllers!

This plan should first start with the dolls, to make cute, convenient Western-style children's clothing, children's shoes, and when the children are older, they will find that Western-style clothes and shoes will give them a sense of kindness, comfort and dependence. Adults, on the other hand, rarely interfere too much with the clothing of children under the age of seven. In their opinion, whatever the child wears is harmless, and they may even feel that their clothes have a different freshness.

That's what Erya is here to do today. She planned to choose a few sewing girls from the widowed women, and a few girls with flexible brains and clever from among the children, and make children's clothes together. She designed the style and cut by the way, took two apprentices, let them divide the labor, and sew in an assembly line way.

Erya put down Wen Yue and let him play in the yard by himself. Let's go to the kitchen first to see the mothers-in-law cooking, "Hard work aunts!" What's delicious today? ”

Those who burn the fire, wash the vegetables, cut the vegetables, and stir-fry the vegetables. They were all busy putting down what they were doing and saying hello to Erya. "The proprietor is here!" Granny Liu, who was burning the fire, followed up and said: "Today I made the children's favorite pork ribs, braised chestnuts, pickled vegetables and roasted pork, and bone broth!" ”

Erya hurriedly waved her hand and asked them not to be polite, "Auntie hurry up and do her own business, don't delay doing things for me." As he spoke, he asked Granny Liu, "Where did you get the chestnuts?" A few days later, I called a few children to go with me to the mountains to hunt chestnuts. ”

Granny Liu replied while lighting the fire: "It's Wu boy, who brought it back from the mountains a few days ago." The children wanted to fry and eat, but we were not willing to give up, so we thought about roasting meat to eat, and it could be counted as a meal. ”

"Is it Wu Feng who just came back?" Er Ya asked.

"Yes! When he came back, he called a few older children to go out with him to do things, and left with the children at dawn the next day! Granny Liu replied.

Granny Yang, who was cooking vegetables, cooked the vegetables and put them in a big pot, so she put down the spatula and talked to Erya, "The owner lady, I have something I want to ask you for!" ”

Er Ya was stunned, "Ah! What's up? How can I help? ”

Mrs. Yang said happily: "It can help!" Can help! It's my godson who likes Sister Li's goddaughter, I want to beg you to be the master! ”

"This!" Erya expressed some embarrassment, so she directly said her thoughts: "Aunt Yang, this matter is really hard to say, you should talk to the relatives of the two children first!" After all, we are not blood relatives, I'm afraid we don't have the right to take care of their relatives! ”

Mrs. Yang suddenly put away her smile and asked worriedly, "Don't these children's relatives don't want them anymore?" Why bother asking their opinions? ”

"I'm afraid that they will come to make trouble when the time comes, and it's best to have a way for their relatives not to point fingers at their relatives." Erya said very cautiously.

Originally, she just wanted to let the helpless children and widowed women survive, and at the same time she had the people to help with the work. She really doesn't have much power to interfere with the rest, and besides, she doesn't care about these trivial and sequelae of feelings, marriages and the like!

Mrs. Yang said again: "The lady of the owner, they have been here for so many years. That is, during the Chinese New Year, occasionally a few people's relatives come to see them, and they usually never see anyone coming, and their relatives who want to come don't want to care about them! ”

Erya also knows this, but she always feels that it is not right for her to decide other people's family affairs without such a long time.

Granny Liu also picked up the conversation and said, "The lady of the owner." You are really interested in this matter, many children here have reached the age of marrying and marrying, they don't have an elder who cares, we know our relatives and don't have the right to call the shots, they are really only you can control this matter! ”

Mrs. Xie, who was chopping vegetables, also said, "Lady of the East Family, don't care about their relatives or anything." Since they did not raise them young, they were not qualified to ask about their relatives. ”

Erya was silent and didn't speak, what they said was reasonable, but it was only moral reason, if it was according to the government regulations. But it doesn't make sense, people have always only recognized blood relatives to speak, and those who are connected with anything are also blood relatives.

After thinking for a while, Erya replied to the mothers-in-law who were staring at her, "Don't worry, if anyone says kiss, I will go to their relatives to say hello first, and try to take their relatives in our hands." Don't let their clan make decisions arbitrarily. ”

She said to Mrs. Yang again: "Aunt Yang, you first ask Aunt Li's daughter if she agrees, if both parties are optimistic." I'll go to the two families and talk about them again. Also, the rest of them are over eighteen years old, and they need to say goodbye and find their in-laws, so you can also find them, and then look for me after they have found them.

I don't care about anything else. All I have to do is go and say hello to their relatives. What do you think? You know a lot about these kids, you know more than I do. It's better than I don't know anything! ”

Mrs. Yang, who washed the vegetables, said with emotion: "The lady of the owner is still good-hearted and gave us the grace of saving our lives." And do these extraneous things. ”

Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Wu also followed: "Yes! The proprietor gave us people their lives! It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a life-saver. ”

"Yes! I also often tell my children that when they grow up, they can't forget the life-saving kindness of the owner's lady! ”

Hearing this, Erya felt that something was wrong and uncomfortable, so she frowned and asked, "You usually tell the children that I am their savior?" Do you want them to remember this kindness for the rest of their lives? ”

Several mothers-in-law nodded as a matter of course, "Ah! Oh, yes! ”

The second girl was so angry that she almost went violent, and immediately told them directly with a cold face: "You should talk to other aunts, sisters and sisters, and you are not allowed to say such things to the children in the future." They haven't started their lives yet, so you have let them carry a big burden that can never be unloaded, how can you let them live the rest of their lives easily and happily? ”

“？？？” Several mothers-in-law looked innocent and confused!

At noon, while the adults, husbands, and children were all eating in the canteen, Erya stood in front of the front wall of the canteen and said to everyone: "Hello everyone! After a while, except for the gentlemen, who can go, everyone else will stay for the time being, and I will have something to say to you in a moment, and I hope you will wait a quarter of an hour. ”

"Good!"

Everyone was waiting after eating, and even the gentlemen did not leave.

Erya fed Wen Yue, hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of rice, and stopped eating. handed Wen Yue to a mother-in-law next to him, stood in the middle, and said to everyone: "I'm sorry everyone, I delay everyone's time for a while, because there is one thing I have to explain, so that everyone, especially the children, can let go of the burden that you can't afford and don't need to bear."

Today I heard that you think that you live here as me saving your life, and even as a life-saving benefactor. Then I will tell you, this is not right, no one in this world can save anyone! It is God's arrangement for you to be able to come here and live a good life.

And I only have the ability to do it because God wants me to do it, and if God doesn't give me this opportunity, I can't do it even if I try my best. Therefore, you have to let go of those so-called thoughts of repaying your kindness and live your life well, happily and easily, which is the most beautiful reward.

Only when you are happy will I feel that what I have done is worthwhile, and the task given to me by God can be regarded as a good accomplishment. If you live under the weight of so-called kindness that you cannot repay at all, under such a burden, in the shadows, suffering for a lifetime, or even distorting your soul because of the weight of heavy burdens, then I am not helping you, but harming you.

When one day you can no longer bear the so-called kindness that you can't pay off, you will no longer be able to believe that I am a benefactor, on the contrary, you will feel that I am the embarrassing enemy who has caused you to live.

So, for your sake and for my own sake, I must make it clear to you today that I have not shown you any kindness, and you must not feel that you owe me anything! When you grow up and want to stay here and help me, I'm so happy that you want to go out on your own, and I'm trying to support you.

All right! I'm going to say this today, and those who are still out doing business and haven't come back, please also convey this to each other. I'm done with what I'm going to say, let's all disperse! (To be continued)
