Ji Tianyou accompanied Jiang Zili to walk through the cotton fields in the nearby villages, although they were scattered, they were enough to help survive the crisis, but they were not a long-term solution after all.

Jiang Zili had already sent several shopkeepers of the weaving mill to find a better place to produce cotton, and Ji Tianyou asked him why he didn't simply move the weaving mill over, as long as they were willing to buy it, I believe that the nearby villagers were willing to change all of them to cotton planting.

Jiang Zili smiled and pointed to a long path that winded but stopped in front of a puddle.

"The land is good, and mass production is OK, but the road is not easy to walk, and the transportation cost of building here is too high."

This is the first time that Ji Tianyou feels that her hometown where she has lived for so long has been disliked, and it is the first time that she feels that she has to consider whether a road is easy to take when doing business.

"Is the second master's business mainly engaged in fabric, I heard that there is also silk?" In order to break the dullness on the road, Ji Tianyou deliberately found some topics.

Jiang Zili saw that she was interested in these, so he said in detail: "A few years ago, silk was still in demand, and the silk on our side was not as good as Jiangnan, but it was not bad, so for a while, various businesses competed for profit in the name of silk, although our Jiangfu was also among them, but my eldest brother and I valued cloth more, sure enough, in recent years, silk and satin have shown a downward trend, and cloth has risen, which is why Sun Changxing has to do this at the expense of losing both, and wants to come to get a piece of the pie, and our Yichang firm is its biggest obstacle. ”

"Fly camp dog." Ji Tianyou muttered.

Jiang Zili looked very bland, "Originally, the shopping mall was a habitual trick to pursue profits, but this time Sun Changxing has gone too far, but he has never cared about such things as reputation, if it weren't for the fact that I have been busy with the affairs of the domestic goods fair recently, if I am more careful, I shouldn't let him take advantage of the loophole." ”

Ji Tianyou comforted: "No matter how much the villain prevents it, he can't prevent it, there are always people who will do the right thing for heaven." When she said this, she suddenly thought of Jiang Yiruo, and wondered why she had been quiet for so many days.

Jiang Zili nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, I'm going to Qingdao next month, I'll bother you to keep an eye on it during my absence, the fifth aunt can't be counted on, I'll transfer a few more knowledgeable people from the weaving mill, and you will be responsible for passing on a message to the cotton farmers for them." ”

"No problem." Ji Tianyou readily agreed.

Within two days, what Jiang Zili said began to be implemented. Six people came to the weaving workshop, and two were women, and they were arranged to live at Ji Tianyou's house.

The rest lived in Li Dahu's house.

Ji Tianyou's family has never lived with so many people, and he has been dependent on his grandmother for so long, and one more person feels very lively. Ji Tianyou was busy boiling water and cooking, and there was no need for the two girls to interfere at all.

A girl smiled and said, "Fortunately, you don't need us, the two of us, if you interfere, you will be doing you a disservice." ”

Another also chimed in: "Our hands really can't do anything but weave." ”

The two giggled in harmony with each other, and Ji Tianyou glanced at them in a hurry, always feeling that they were different from others.

The two girls are new to the city at any time, but they don't have the sense of twist of ordinary people, they should eat and drink, and they are particularly open-minded when they laugh and scold.

Ji Tianyou couldn't help but ask them suspiciously: "I always feel that you are different from other women I know, why is this?" ”

The two girls giggled again, and one said, "It's not strange at all, there must be no female workers like us among the people you know, we can support ourselves, not only can we support ourselves, but even the whole family is not a problem, it is the uncle who can earn money, and it is natural to speak at home." ”

Another also said: "We are not like the traditional women you know, dependent on men, even lost our dignity, although work is tiring, overtime is also a common thing, but we have rewards." ”

Ji Tianyou was dumbfounded.

The words of these two girls opened the door to a new world for her, and for the first time she felt that she could live like this. For a while, I couldn't help but envy their work.

Jiang Zili explained the specific matters and set off to go back to prepare to participate in the domestic exhibition. The cotton picking season is coming, the village at this time is much more lively than in previous years, the old people and children go into battle, each field is piled up with white cotton wool into a small hill high, with the joy of harvest, everyone has a smile on their faces.

And the households who did not plant cotton this year can't all switch to cotton next year, and this kind of miss has become a regret that they can't let go, just like Su's mother, who looks at the hot cotton picking army outside the village every day, and will always sigh and regret not being at the beginning.

She caught Ji Tianyou's person at the door of her house for several days before she finally saw Ji Tianyou's person, and hurriedly grabbed the girl's arm and asked, "How much can I collect for one mu?" ”

"Four or five hundred wen." Ji Tianyou is not very clear.

Then Su Mu became ill, and she chattered every day, this was a hard loss of a piece of the ocean, or at least.

Ji Tianyou took the time to see Su Xiaoman once, his complexion was much better, but he was not as talkative as before, of course Ji Tianyou didn't know, Su Xiaoman was deliberately silent, because he was afraid that he couldn't help but talk about Zhao Yansu as soon as he opened his mouth, so as not to make Tianyou sad again.

Ji Tianyou suddenly felt that there was no common topic between them except for Zhao Yansu.

The two female workers who lived in Ji Tianyou's house, went out early and returned late, slept when they came back, and did not eat on time.

This day is still busy, but I saw Zhao Yansu in front of the temporary warehouse, she swayed and stood there, it became a scenery that no one could help but see, the little girl next to her helped her hold an umbrella, under the scorching sun, the little girl was flushed with sun, and she was crying.

It is the child daughter-in-law who has just been recruited by Li Dahu's family, and she is given to her stupid son, who is about eleven or twelve years old, called Xiaolian.

Ji Tianyou couldn't look at it, stepped forward, snatched the umbrella, and sent the little girl away.

Zhao Yansu was not angry, as if she was doing this to attract Ji Tianyou's attention, she stroked her white arm exposed outside the tight-fitting cheongsam, and said softly: "Oh, will you hold an umbrella, it's all tanned." ”

Ji Tianyou simply put the umbrella down, closed the umbrella and threw it aside.

Zhao Yansu smiled: "Come and have a drink with me tonight, and the second master will give me a little bit of the pastry." ”

"No, no." Ji Tianyou didn't think about decisively refusing.

Zhao Yansu had expected it, and said with a smile: "Did you see that little girl just now, if you don't come, she will suffer." I couldn't bear it just now, which means that you will definitely come tonight. I know your weakness better than anyone else. ”

Ji Tianyou forcibly calmed herself down, and she suddenly smiled: "Your wishful thinking has come to naught, the second master is not a fishy cat at all." ”

Zhao Yansu, who had always been in her hands to win, was hit by a blow, she was annoyed and angry, she gritted her teeth and said: "Your life is at stake, you have to consider it." ”

At this time, Zhao Yansu was angry, resentful, and at a loss, she invested the largest capital, but she touched a nail in the second master, how could she still sit safely?
