Female apprentice, is Xiao Mei's statement, Ren Yan just intends to find a way out for a woman who has craftsmanship but no livelihood.

On the 10th day of the Lunar New Year, the Gu family would donate money and clothes to the charity hall and the almshouse as usual, and Ren Yan and Gu Tingwen were in the same car, and saw some women who were homeless due to natural and man-made disasters, and some of them were also with three or five children, destitute.

There are more and more people in need of rescue, and the relief materials are a drop in the bucket, and the key is to solve the way out of people's lives.

The courtyard used to open the museum was set down on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the courtyard of the fifth entrance still has the old garden; It's not like it's close to the mountains and rivers, but the view inside and outside is very good, and the place is spacious.

Ren Yan brought back six women, first bought clothes and utensils for people, and then handed them over to Xiao Mei, and rushed back to Hongzhitang to work by himself.

After the opening of the year, Honghentang hired two new famous masters, and the business of Tangkou was so prosperous that people were both happy and sad, and even she, an apprentice, was so busy that she couldn't take care of a sip of water all day, let alone mention the masters.

The usual closing hour was postponed for an hour, Ren Yan's throat was so dry that it was smoking, and Xiao Mei entered the door with a slump of head while standing in the courtyard carrying a big teapot and pouring tea into her mouth.

Come in and come in, but don't dare to get close, standing with his face facing the old tree, his eyes drifting out of the tail of his eyes, and carefully looking at his own senior sister.

Ren Yan knew that she was in trouble when he saw her like this, and nodded his hand: "Come here!" ”

Xiao Mei reluctantly looked at her and rubbed her forward, smiling flatteringly: "Senior sister! ”

"Where did it come from?"

"Home!"

"Who's home?"

“…… Your home. ”

"Why are you coming?"

Xiao Mei lowered her head and crossed her fingers: "Admit your mistake, I beat someone, but it's not a big deal, it's a flesh injury." ”

Ren Yan's brain jumped: "It's a big deal to open someone's head?" ”

Xiao Mei lowered her head: "I'm angry, I don't have any sense of proportion in my hands, are you willing to do it?" ”

"Why did you hit someone?"

"That woman stole something, wrapped a bag and carried it out to sell it secretly, exchanged money for her husband to go out to smoke, caught her and didn't recognize it, and bit several people!"

Ren Yan remembered that some of these women were kicked out by their husbands and had nowhere to go, but they were in such a situation, and they were still thinking about the cool men, what did they want?

The person was tied up by Xiao Mei and thrown in her own room, which would scold her tired and shrink in the corner without saying a word, and when she saw Ren Yanlai, she sat there and shed tears, babbling about what happened to her.

There is a man at home who has nothing to do, and he is not likely to do anything other than smoke and scold them; Later, she used the subsidies she saved to raise a little love outside, and saw that she was getting more and more unhappy, so she knocked people out.

The money will be spent, the lover will not care about her, and the grandfather will think of this obedient chaff, and clamore that if he can give him a big flower, he will let her enter the door again.

So the woman stole a few things in the yard, quietly exchanged more than 30 pieces of ocean and sent them to the master, and came back to ask Xiao Mei to catch her, and after a fight, she was locked up here.

Ren Yan pulled his ears and asked with a smile: "Your grandfather is going to take you in?" ”

The woman hung her head silently.

I know what is going on, and my heart is honest!

Ren Yan said: "Such a man still dares to enter his door, how much suffering you have, this is not enough, not long memory." ”

"But without him, my boy and girl will have no father, and they will make people laugh."

"It's fun to have a dad like this!" Ren Yan sneered, "You can work to support your family, it's a burden to be with such a man, earn your own money and live happily, it's not better than being beaten and scolded!" ”

The woman still shook her head: "You don't understand, only when you get married can you have a family, and a woman can't do anything alone." ”

Ren Yan got up: "Come on, where are you coming from, I can't accommodate you and your cave masters here, send off guests!" ”

The woman's hand was quick, and she grabbed Ren Yan's wrist: "Miss Ren, please save me, I want to go back with him, I don't want to live alone, it's too bitter!" ”

Ren Yan was very puzzled: "How to save Fa'er?" ”

"Give me some more money, and I'll borrow you." The woman begged bitterly, tears streaming down her face, "Go back and wait until I enter the house and earn money, and I will pay you back double." ”

Ren Rouge pursed his lips.

When the woman saw that she was delayed, she fell to her knees and almost broke her head.

Ren Yan sighed, pushed her hand away, and beckoned Xiao Mei to send it out.

"Give me money, senior sister?" Xiao Mei couldn't bear it, "Look at her pitiful." ”

"Who do you blame?" Ren Yan wandered around inside and outside the house, "What did you lose?" ”

"There are few things, clothes, jewelry, plates, bowls and whatever!"

Ren Yan called the people who guarded the courtyard, and explained to Xiao Mei: "How much is my hard-earned money, why should I give that stinky smoker, report the case and chase it back, and find you two less!" ”

"Got it."

When the woman was sent out, she was exhausted, and she scolded Ren Yan, and all the ugly words were sent into the house by the night wind, and she was ashamed.

Ren Yan covered the window, it was inevitable to be disappointed, what is the matter, kindness and enmity, why bother?

With such a show, she hired people more carefully, and the three generations of her ancestors had to figure it out before she dared to work for the family.

The restaurant is not open, they are responsible for cleaning the courtyard inside and outside; Xiao Mei had nothing to do, leading them to read and speak, and then recognizing Chinese and Western dim sum recipes, and often taking them to the Upper East Market to pick.

Xiao Tong thinks that his own girl is a half-ass, and if she teaches people badly, she will have to guide her at home when she is free, and she will go back and forth and go wrong.

Ren Yan has seven or eight single women in his family, and when he saw the sky, he asked Xiao Mei to lead them in and out, although the time of walking around was regular, it was difficult to ensure that some crooked people had other calculations, and they always felt that there was something hidden here.

Within a month, Ren Yan listened to a few rumors after work, she and the family did not raise a female buddy, but raised a group of sisters, and took them out to pick up customers at dawn after dark.

When the women in the family heard this, they shed tears of sadness, and some couldn't help but quit their jobs and return to the almshouse; Later, I heard that I was bullied in the almshouse because of this, and I had to live on the streets again.

The turmoil intensified, until Xiao Tong occasionally came in and out, causing people to bump into him, and creating more and more peachy rumors.

From the very beginning, Ren Yan understood the difficulty of women begging for a livelihood, and it was easy to talk about equal rights between men and women, but on the surface, ordinary people thought that this was the young masters and ladies of the upper class who were moaning without illness, and they never thought that this was a trouble.

Just like a while ago, a women's public bath at the front door opened, and every day, except for the ruffians who want to touch some cheap ruffians to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, that is, the bold sister is willing to go, I don't see any girl and wife willing to set foot in it.

In less than a week, she was infamous as a secret door, closed the door, and the female shopkeeper of the bath was so angry that she fell seriously ill and left the country.

Sending away the third wave of police officers who came to the door for inquiry, Ren Yan thought that if she didn't open the restaurant, she would probably end up with the same people.

But she has no problem if she wants to open a restaurant, this will be the second year of being an apprentice, and after three years of reasoning, she will be considered to have completed her studies and graduated from the school; The chef's union handed over a greeting post, and only when people recognized it could she be regarded as the number one.

Now she's just an apprentice, and she's not capable of doing it alone.

Even if there is, there is still a matter of urgency, she is a girl, and the chef's union has never had a girl's greetings, nor has there been a document for the girl to open a restaurant, and no one is willing to set this precedent.

There is neither a document of approval nor a certificate for the opening of the restaurant, and even if her restaurant is forcibly erected, no one will buy it.

Ren Yan was not happy in his heart, and he mentioned this matter when he visited his master and mother.

Xiao Tong was silent for a long time, and then told a plan: "You tell the seventh master, you get married first, and set up the restaurant in his name; From now on you are one family, not one another. ”

Ren Yan was in his heart.

First, she takes the matter of marriage very seriously, and the beautiful things that come naturally seem to be a transaction when mixed with other interests; Second, what is it about her business to rely on others at the beginning?

Xiao Tong laughed at her young age and didn't do anything: "This day is lived by the two of you, why bother with those false names that are not clear." ”

Ren Yan smiled, and when he went out, he left this matter on his heels.

She thinks that she and Gu Tingwen are each other's most important partners, no matter what aspect, she is not willing to wronged him, nor is she willing to wronged herself, she will always come up with a way.

The night before Cheng Huiyu and Liang Fu's wedding, when they were trying on the dress, Gu Tingwen suddenly asked about it, he wanted to know her opinion, and asked her about her plans.

When Ren Yan put away the dress, he happened to finish his thoughts.

Gu Tingwen nodded, expressing complete respect.

So, on the day of Cheng Huiyu's wedding, the newspaper published an article about equal rights between men and women and women's independence and self-reliance, and mentioned several examples of women's difficulties and successes in business.

Ren Yan thought of Cheng Huiyu's reluctant wedding, and joked that the time he chose to publish his article was inappropriate.

Gu Tingwen raised his wine glass and touched hers: "I only care about my fiancée." ”

Ren Yan's face was hot, and he slipped away with his skirt.

Cheng Huiyu was sitting in his wedding room, reading the newspaper, and smiled when he saw Ren Yan: "It's so good." ”

Ren Yan was silent and gave her two gifts.

Cheng Huiyu rubbed the jewelry box and whispered: "I have fantasized about such a scene countless times now, but it is just a choice for my husband...... That's it, let's not talk about it. ”

"Mr. Liang, he ......," Ren Yan wanted to say and stopped.

Cheng Huiyu smiled: "He's a good person, don't care about it like that." He promised me that after marriage, he would take care of our family and my feelings, Mr. Ye is in the past, and Brother Gu Shige is also in the past. ”

Both of them made a final compromise in this wedding.

What Ren Yan didn't tell her was that she saw Zhang Yuenian in the crowd of wedding banquets, who had been released from prison that morning, and was in clean spirits, but he looked old with stubble.

Now that they've done it, there's no need to talk about the past.

Ren Yan sat with her for an hour, during which Liang Fu came to visit his wife twice, greeted him politely and politely, and thanked Ren Yan for his company.

There is no deep affection, only respect each other, which is not indifferent and alienated, but the invisible distance between husband and wife makes people panic.
