After returning to Ye's Mansion, Ye Heqi hid in the house, took out a brand-new notebook, and recorded all the news she heard today.

Looking at the densely written paper, Ye Heqi's face showed a bit of melancholy that did not fit his age.

She wished she had done this in a redundant way, and that she wouldn't be able to use that information in the future.

Just when Ye Heqi was about to hide the notebook, she suddenly remembered something, opened the notebook again, and turned to a new page.

Memories would fade over time, and she had to hurry up and write down all the future events that she could still recall.

Life in Yefu is bland and boring.

Ye Heqi and Yao Rong returned to the mode of teaching and learning.

At the beginning, Yao Rong could only master ten or twenty words a day; After a certain amount of accumulation, her learning speed suddenly accelerated a lot, and her handwriting became correct.

When Yao Rong was practicing calligraphy, Ye Heqi sat next to her and read the newspaper.

The types of newspapers Ye Heqi bought were very messy, including the Minsheng Newspaper that introduced the life in Beiping City, the current political newspaper that focused on the disadvantages of the times, and many ideological newspapers and periodicals that talked about the progress of enlightenment, and even the newspapers that were completely serialized.

Among these newspapers, Ye Heqi's favorite ones are the Minsheng Daily and the Newspaper.

Needless to say, seeing more helps to understand what the outside world is like; The latter is mainly to pass the time.

When she first reported it, Ye Heqi was still thinking about what she hadn't seen in her previous life, but as soon as she opened the newspaper, she couldn't extricate herself.

The Republic of China may not be as good as modern in terms of brain holes, but that is just limited by vision.

"It's just this vernacular, it's still not white enough." Ye Heqi closed the newspaper and sighed in a low voice.

When Ye Heqi took out a padded jacket from under the wardrobe and put it on his body, it was the day to go out once a month.

When he went out this time, Yao Rong didn't let Wang Ma follow.

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi went out early as usual, changed to another shop for breakfast, and then went shopping on the street where they had gone back.

Today is not a holiday, nor is it a market day, so there are not many pedestrians on the streets.

As soon as she got off the rickshaw, Ye Heqi found that her mother was a little bolder than last time, and she didn't hold her hand nervously while walking like last time.

Ye Heqi pursed his lips and chuckled, and a faint sense of accomplishment emerged in his heart.

"Heqi, what are you doing standing there, follow up." Yao Rong took a few steps forward, and found that Ye Heqi hadn't followed, so he turned around and called her.

Ye Heqi walked quickly to Yao Rong's side, grabbed Yao Rong's arm, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing, mother, let's go." ”

Yao Rong nodded, and when passing by the shop that sold alabaster, Yao Rong took the initiative to pull Ye Heqi to walk inside, and offered to buy alabaster: "The weather is getting drier and drier, my box of alabaster is about to bottom out, let's go inside and buy two more boxes." ”

Ye Heqi looked at Yao Rong's face and said sweetly: "No wonder I have seen that my mother has become a lot whiter these days, it turns out that it is all the effect of alabaster." ”

Yao Rong touched his face and said in surprise: "Really? The money was well spent. ”

Ye Heqi struck while the iron was hot: "Then in addition to alabaster, let's buy a lipstick and a box of eyebrow powder." When the time comes, a touch of alabaster, a lipstick, and an eyebrow painting will not only look good. ”

Yao Rong showed an obviously excited look, but soon, she shook her head with a bitter expression: "Forget it, who am I spending that time and energy to dress up for?" Besides, in the Ye Mansion, if I dress up too fancy, I will definitely make the old lady unhappy. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ye Heqi immediately picked up the alabaster, lipstick, and eyebrow powder, and walked to the counter to pay.

Yao Rong was helpless: "You kid, I said I didn't need it, so don't spend that money." ”

Ye Heqi said while checking out: "Mother, have you forgotten what I told you last time." We don't need to dress up for others, we dress up to make ourselves happy. ”

"The more that man looks down on you, the more you have to live a wonderful and beautiful life and break his prejudice against you."

"You think, if you're having a bad time, the man will say to somebody else: Look, of course he didn't choose you, what a good decision."

"But if you're doing well, better than that man, people will say to that man: Why did you give up such a beautiful and excellent wife in the first place?"

Yao Rong looked at Ye Heqi with a stunned face, looking like he had been greatly impacted.

The shopkeeper who was tapping the abacus on the side couldn't care about settling the accounts, and praised repeatedly: "This lady, your daughter's words are too insightful. I've been doing business here for so many years, and I've entertained a lot of customers, but few people can say such enlightening words. ”

Yao Rong nodded in a trance, but this time he didn't stop Ye Heqi again.

After Ye Heqi settled the account, the shopkeeper also took a box of osmanthus-flavored hair oil from the side, saying that it was a gift for their mother and daughter, and welcomed them to come next time.

After coming out of the store, seeing that Yao Rong was still a little distracted, Ye Heqi scratched his head embarrassedly.

The impact of her words on her mother seemed to be a little too great.

However, the words are not rough, people fight for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and the truth is such a truth.

"Mother, there is a teahouse next to it, let's go in and have some tea." Ye Heqi proposed, planning to find a place for her mother to calm down.

Yao Rong nodded and said yes.

After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Ye Heqi asked Yao Rong where he wanted to go in the afternoon, Yao Rong thought about it and said, "Let's go to the newspaper office to find Miss Zhou." ”

Ye Heqi was curious: "Mother, why did you suddenly think of going to Miss Zhou?" ”

Yao Rong said: "I don't know many people outside, so if you ask me where I'm going, I can only think of Miss Zhou." ”

Ye Heqi's heart was sour.

Over the years, she can still read and write, and she can find many ways to pass the time when she is bored, but her mother has no way to pass the time, and she doesn't know any friends.

"Then let's go over now, it should be exactly noon when we get there, and it won't delay Miss Zhou's work."

Yao Rong smiled and said, "Miss Zhou said last time that she wanted to try the pastries of the pastry shop in the west of the city, so let's take a rickshaw there to buy a few boxes of pastries, and then turn around and go to the newspaper." ”

The headquarters of the newspaper is located in a courtyard house between the west and south of the city, and from the outside it looks no different from an ordinary courtyard house, except that a sign is hung at the door.

During working hours, the door of the newspaper office is wide open, and people come in and out from time to time.

After Yao Rong and Ye Heqi arrived at the place, they stood at the door and looked inside, hesitating whether to knock on the door or go directly to find someone.

"Who are you looking for?"

An unfamiliar female voice came from behind the two.

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi turned around and found that it was a middle-aged woman with a very temperamental temperament, with short ear-length hair, and a satchel in her hand, which was full of paper manuscripts.

Yao Rong said: "Hello this lady, we are friends of Miss Zhou Qihuai, I don't know if she is in the newspaper now." ”

The short-haired woman smiled: "It turned out to be Qihuai's friend, she was inside, and I will take you in." ”

The courtyard is not big, Yao Rong and Ye Heqi walked all the way, and every staff member they saw was a woman.

The short-haired woman stopped in front of a room: "When you get to the place, you can do it yourself." ”

Yao Rong and Ye Heqi thanked her one after another.

The short-haired woman smiled and walked into the next room.

The nameplate hanging next to the door clearly reads: "Women's Daily" editor-in-chief, Chen Wan.

Zhou Qihuai in the house should have heard the movement, and without waiting for Yao Rong to knock on the door, Zhou Qihuai opened the hidden door.

The dress she was wearing today happened to be the light green dress she had taken from Su's tailor's shop last time.

Seeing Yao Rong and Ye Heqi, Zhou Qihuai was both surprised and happy: "Mrs. Ye, Heqi, why are you here." ”

Yao Rong shook the boxes of pastries he was holding in his hand: "Miss Zhou, we're here to send you pastries." ”

Seeing the red seal on the pastry, Zhou Qihuai's smile deepened: "I've been so busy this month that I don't have time to go to the store to buy it." Thanks to you, I was able to taste it today. ”

"We took the liberty of visiting, and we didn't bother you." Yao Rong asked.

"Why, it's just time for dinner, I'll take you to dinner." Zhou Qihuai said.

"You don't have to eat out." In the next room, Chen Wan, who had put the manuscript away, walked out again, "I cooked a lot of dishes in the kitchen today, if you don't mind, stay in the newspaper office and eat." That is, two more pairs of chopsticks. ”

Zhou Qihuai looked at Yao Rong and asked for their opinions.

Yao Rong nodded: "Then it's troublesome." ”

Zhou Qihuai smiled: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, you are so generous, I can't be too stingy." After eating for a while, I took out all the pastries sent by Mrs. Ye and invited everyone to eat. ”

The newspaper office has a large round table, which can accommodate more than a dozen people at the same time. It was already a little cold by this time, and the large round table was moved from the courtyard to the house.

When it was time to eat, the employees from the other rooms also came out.

plus Zhou Qihuai and Chen Wan, there are only five people in total.

From this number, it can be seen that "Women's Daily" is not a big newspaper.

As if sensing Yao Rong and Ye Heqi's surprise, Zhou Qihuai smiled and handed them the chopsticks: "Are you surprised that our newspaper is all women?" ”

Ye Heqi nodded vigorously.

Even she, who came from the afterlife, was surprised by this situation.

She had heard of the Women's Newspaper before, a newspaper that was opened to emancipate women's minds. But she didn't feel much at the time.

It wasn't until now, seeing that the employees in the newspaper were all women, that Ye Heqi suddenly realized that the original phrase "emancipating women" was not just a slogan. The Women's Newspaper has also been carrying out this matter.

Yao Rong's expression was more straightforward: "I thought Miss Zhou was already the most powerful woman I had ever seen, but I didn't expect that everyone in your newspaper office was as powerful as you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet dinner table suddenly resounded with chuckles.

No one doesn't like to listen to nice words, and even with Chen Wan, the gaze they looked at Yao Rong and Ye Heqi became more and more gentle and intimate.

Zhou Qihuai looked at Chen Wan with admiration in his tone: "This is all the credit of our editor-in-chief Chen." ”

Yao Rong also looked at Chen Wan.

Chen Wan put down her chopsticks, and her tone was gentle and casual, as if she didn't take this matter to heart: "The press is originally a man's world, and there has never been a woman who will set foot in the press industry." Starting with Ms. Kang Tongwei, the press began to have women, but this is far from enough. ”

"Men have too many resources in this area, and it is not easy for women to make a career in the newspaper industry.

"I don't know what other people think, but as long as my newspaper exists, it will only recruit women."

Ye Heqi really couldn't hold back, holding the chopsticks, and applauded excitedly: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, it is because there are many people like you that a woman's situation in this world will become better and better." ”：，，
