Because the conditions at hand were really scarce, Li Jicai felt that his idea of starting a small business was stillborn.

She thought about it, let's go and work for someone else, maybe she was not born to be a boss.

Early in the morning, Li Jicai pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, watching Li Jiye and Xiao Erhei sleeping in the kennel built with wooden rags, sleeping soundly.

Shaking his head, he prepared to go out and look for a job.

In ancient times, it was quite difficult to find a job, especially for women, and it was full of malice, and feudal society was indeed feudal society.

If you want to change from a matrilineal clan society to a patrilineal clan society, this time it has changed for thousands of years, and then it can't be changed.

There is sexism in modern times, and there is sexism in ancient times, and it feels like no one is much better than the two.

What kind of job are you looking for? I don't have any talent, otherwise I'd better do manual work. Some time ago, she heard from the shopkeeper that the wharf in Nancheng District is now receiving people, and it is unloading.

Or, go for it today!

But for now, she made breakfast first, and then swept the sycamore leaves in the yard.

It was already late autumn, and the leaves were all falling down, and the ground that had just been swept in the morning had fallen again in the evening.

The golden leaves crunched when stepped on, and Boss Fan only planted one plane tree in the yard, but the largest one in the whole yard was this plane tree.

Originally, there was no manhole cover in the well in the yard, because it was a little inconvenient for Mrs. Fan to live alone before, but now after they moved in, they put a stone slab on the wellhead and pressed it.

That way, the leaves won't fall in.

The pale white smoke soon curled out of the chimney.

The sweet aroma of rice porridge wafted around, and Xiao Erhei woke up and called "Wangwang" twice.

All this wakes up people who are still resting in the morning.

By the time Mrs. Fan came out of her room, Li Jicai was already sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground with a broom in the yard.

Although the autumn day is bleak, the sun is really warm and brilliant, and the ground is covered with broken gold.

Li Jicai caught her eye in such a scene.

The two chrysanthemums that come out of the wall in the small courtyard are in full bloom, the white pink flowers are very beautiful, and a cinnamon plant also blooms the fragrance of friends, and the fragrant smell of the pale yellow osmanthus flowers is refreshing.

She planted the flowers late.

Mrs. Fan's expression was a little dazed, how long had it been since she had been in this courtyard.

The Mid-Autumn Festival sneaked past in the previous time and was not celebrated.

Later, at this time, I realized that there was a person next to me who was not so lonely.

"Stop sweeping, let's eat." Mrs. Fan looked at Li Jicai, who was diligent in sweeping the floor, and said, with a smile on her aging and withered face.

Li Jicai didn't raise his head, and responded happily, "Hey! Then he put the broom at the base of the wall, and came back to clean it after breakfast. Someone has to clean it up after all, she looks comfortable, and the old lady looks comfortable in her heart.

After all, they lived in to serve the old lady.

As usual, there were three bowls of porridge, and two or three dishes of the old lady's own pickled side dishes. This side dish is crisp and refreshing, and it goes well with rice, such as cucumbers, pagoda vegetables, shredded carrots, shredded ginger, and all kinds of food. Li Jicai felt that as long as she had this side dish to eat, even if she drank ten bowls of porridge, it would be no problem. But this food still needs to be saved.

"Have you figured out what to do?" When Mrs. Fan heard that Li Jicai wanted to start her own small business, she did not object, and of course she did not say that she supported it. Just watching from the sidelines. Now she sees that Li Jicai is finally going out after lying at home for a few days, and she thinks she must have decided. She wants to see what she thinks before she says what she thinks.

"I think about it, now I don't have much money on hand, no principal, no materials, no network resources, nothing, this business still can't be done, I plan to go to do small work for others first, I heard that the dock in Nancheng District has been collecting people recently, I want to go and see."

Li Jicai's tone was very natural, and in her opinion, this was a normal thing.

But listening to the ears of Li Jiye and Mrs. Fan, it is not so simple.

Go to the dock to beg for a living, those are men with some strength and strong men can survive, if the average person is still a woman, how can he endure this hardship?

Li Jiye frowned and was about to stop it, but it really didn't work He went to earn money while studying, after all, now he relied on her words, so how wronged she was.

"Can you carry those things?" Old Madam Fan asked suspiciously.

Her husband did that before he joined the army, she brought him food, and she saw it all in her eyes.

After carrying it for a day, the whole person was out of strength.

Men are still so difficult, let alone a woman?

No, no, she can't go to this pier.

"But if I want to earn more, I still want to go, and I still want to earn more anyway, whether it's for my brother's schooling, or to pay the rent for the old lady, or to live on my own. This all requires money, and although I am a weak woman, you should not underestimate me. ”

Li Jicai has been to the factory to unload the goods at this time, she knows how hard it is, even if she squeezes people in ancient times, as long as she squeezes people without dying.

"In this way, you see that I have those vegetables in the yard and in the vegetable garden, you can watch and harvest them, and sell them."

"Vegetable garden?" They have been here for so long, and they haven't seen any vegetable gardens except for the vegetable patch carved out in the small courtyard?

"After dinner, you can just come with me." Mrs. Fan put down her chopsticks, indicating that she had eaten enough, and then her slightly stern eyes fell on Li Jiye's body, and said lightly: "Study hard, you will have a chance." ”

Li Jiye nodded desperately in a hurry, this old lady Fan's aura is really powerful.

So, after eating, Li Jicai did not go to the dock to find something to do according to her original plan, but followed Mrs. Fan to the small vegetable garden she said.

It turned out that Mrs. Fan also set up a vegetable patch outside the city.

Speaking of this vegetable patch, there are some stories.

Mrs. Fan's husband died in battle, and most of the brothers who joined the army with him did not return. The lawsuit gave nothing but some money subsidies for the land.

So invisibly, the widows of these soldiers came together.

Everyone farms and grows vegetables together, because the land allocated by the government is all together.

Mrs. Fan belongs to a different kind, she is originally a foreigner, and most of the vegetables and fruits she grows are seeds from a foreign country.

But these are not discriminated against by them, and some women even dare to try what Mrs. Fan grows.

This also made Mrs. Fan, who was ready to give up these fields and sell them again, have some confidence again.

Every year, she harvests when she finishes planting, but she doesn't harvest much, and what she can't eat rots in the field to make seeds and fertilizer.

Anyway, many of them are dishes that people here in the capital don't eat, and people are afraid of death and don't dare to eat indiscriminately, so she doesn't worry about being stolen by others.

Li Jicai couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he found the old lady's two acres of vegetable land.

There are peppers, eggplants, edamame, and miscellaneous vegetables in the field.

Oh my God, if all these dishes were sold, wouldn't it be a huge profit!

Damn! Get rich!

Mrs. Fan looked at her surprised expression and was slightly stunned, did she know?

"You know?"

"yes, we all know!" She used to cook for the family and go to the vegetable market from time to time to buy vegetables.

Two pieces of chili peppers, three pounds of edamame without shelling, there are several kinds of prices and levels of beef, and she knows everything about it.

You can almost write a price list for the wet market.

"I brought some seeds here from Shafan, how do you know?" Old Lady Fan looked at her with burning eyes again.

She always felt that there was something wrong with this little girl, and she couldn't put it into words.

“…… Some of them are often eaten here, some are drawn in books, and most of them are recognized, and most of them are recognized. Li Jicai's heart was pounding, but she still tried her best to contain her panic, she shouldn't have gotten carried away just now.

Seeing this green seedling, the variety of vegetables was overjoyed.

It almost got exposed.

The fields next to the vegetable fields were planted with crops, but the crops had already been harvested, so the fields were empty, and there was a little green in the golden bushes, which was where they were now.

"Well, do you know that most people here don't eat these things?"

"Huh? Why?! These are all good things! Li Jicai said with some astonishment.

Then I thought that Mrs. Fan said that she was from Shafan, could it be that the people of Chu did not eat foreign food? Repel?

"You're saying that the people in the capital reject the vegetables you grow?"

Mrs. Fan didn't speak, just stared at her vigorously.

Li Jicai was seen as a little weak-hearted, and his speech may be too direct and not tactful.

Hurt her feelings, right? After all, the foreigners here can be described in one sentence for the people of Chu: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different." ”

She and Li Jiye have been in the capital for a long time as homeless people in the capital, and the cold reception they received is naturally self-evident. It is estimated that Mrs. Fan has a harder time than them.

So, Li Jicai looked at Mrs. Fan, who was getting older, and felt more sympathy and admiration in her heart.

After all, when she was so young, her husband had already passed away, and she had gone through a lot of hardships to come to Chu from a foreign country just to be with his husband.

These are the words that Boss Fan naturally said during the time when they were in contact with Mrs. Fan.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Listening to these in their ears only feels extremely uncomfortable.

It is estimated that she has suffered a lot since she was young.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm doing much better than you. The government will give me money on a regular basis, and if I hadn't taken you in, you wouldn't even have something to eat. ”

Who is Mrs. Fan? She can see the changes in Li Jicai's mood around her clearly.

"That's what the old lady said." Li Jicai's face flushed, and he was slightly embarrassed.

Turning his head to look into the distance, he tried to pretend to be sitting and watching the sky rise and the clouds fade.

"If a person is very self-pitying, others will find him pitiful.

Okay, let's go back, these two acres of vegetable land will be handed over to you, it's up to you how you want to use it, I can only help you get here. ”

Mrs. Fan originally had the intention of handing over her vegetable plot to Li Jicai to cook, she was already very old, she would definitely not be able to grow these vegetables, if these could play a role in Li Jicai's hands, then she would also be very pleased, because she looked at Li Jicai, although the female workers were making a mess, but the cooking seemed to have some experience.

Li Jicai was blown up by Mrs. Fan's words, and he couldn't come back to his senses when he stood there for a long time, oh my God! Is this true?! I didn't do anything myself, I gave myself two vegetable plots out of thin air?! This, this is simply Amazi
