After all, most of the workers in the workshops are women from the village.
After getting off work early, women can go home and cook for their husbands and children.
And Yang Yulan left the workshop with several familiar women.
These women are in a similar situation to Yang Yulan. They are also widows who came to Naomo Village to make a living after being unable to survive in their husband's village.
These women took great care of Yang Yulan, which made Yang Yulan, who had just arrived in this unfamiliar place, quickly integrate into it.
There was a woman named Sun Sanniang.
"Are you used to staying in the village?" Sun Sanniang said with a smile.
"I'm used to it. The people in the village are very nice. I would also like to thank Third Sister for taking me to find my great-uncle!"
Yang Yulan said gratefully.
Although she had only been in the village for a few days, she found that the people in this village were very nice.
On the second day after arriving, her uncle and uncle asked them to stay at their house, but she refused.
After all, people talk a lot about right and wrong.
Although she is related to her great-uncle's family, there are more or less rumors when they live together.
Moreover, she heard that her great-uncle had a grandson who was going to take the imperial examination.
She couldn't let the reputation of her great-uncle's family, who helped the mother and daughter, be tarnished.
My great-uncle had no choice but to clean up the old house and let the mother and daughter live in it.
I remember that all the neighbors came over to help her clean up her home.
The people in the village did not have any contempt for the mother and daughter.
The women looked at them very kindly, and the men didn't look at her like they did in the previous villages.
There is no need to worry about someone climbing over the wall of their home at night.
Now, she works in a soap workshop.
The monthly salary is about three taels, and I heard that red envelope bonuses are given out during holidays.
Yang Yulan suddenly felt like she had regained a new lease of life and was motivated to support her daughter.
"Why are you being polite to me? You two, mother and daughter, have just arrived in the village. You must have never been to the department store and supermarket in the village!" Sun Sanniang said with a smile.
"Department supermarket?"
This was the first time Yang Yulan heard of such a supermarket.
"How should I put it? It's like a grocery store in the county, only it's bigger than a grocery store and it has everything. You just need to buy some vegetables. We'll take you to see it!"
Yang Yulan was laughed at and dragged around the department store by Sun Sanniang and others.
…
"You don't know when mother will come back?"
Fan Xiaolian rested her chin with her hands, sitting under the eaves in a daze, when she suddenly saw a graceful figure walking in the distance.
"Mom, you are back!"
Fan Xiaolian's face suddenly beamed with joy and she ran over.
"What do you think Mom bought today?"
Yang Yulan held the bamboo basket in her hand and opened the linen covering the bamboo basket with a smile.
"Pork? And ribs?"
Fan Xiaolian couldn't help but swallow when she saw the pork.
But thinking of something, his little face hesitated, "Mom, why did you buy pork? I haven't finished the cured fish that my great-grandpa gave us."
"It's okay. Now that my mother has a job, she can earn a lot of money in the future!" Yang Yulan felt a little distressed and immediately squeezed out a smile to comfort her.
"real?"
Fan Xiaolian's little eyes sparkled.
"How could mother lie to Lian'er?"
This time, Yang Yulan smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Since arriving in Naomo Village, the smiles on her face have grown more and more.
Because she knows that their days will definitely get better and better in the future.
"Mom, there is so much meat, we can't finish it. Do you want to give some to my great-grandpa?" Fan Xiaolian remembered that her great-grandpa's family was very kind to them.
"Mom gave it to me!"
Yang Yulan smiled and said: "Let's go, mom will make you your favorite braised pork tonight!"
"OK!"
Entered the house.
Yang Yulan found that her home was clean and tidy, and she could tell that it had been cleaned.
"Lian'er, are you a cleaner?" Yang Yulan looked at her daughter doubtfully.
"Well! Mom goes to work, I have nothing to do at home, and I can't be lazy!" Fan Xiaolian nodded her little head.
"Didn't I ask you to go out and play with the children in the village?"
Yulan touched Fan Xiaolian's little head with some pity,
"They don't play with me!"
Fan Xiaolian lowered her head, holding the corners of her clothes with her little hands, and said with a somewhat lonely face.
"Why don't they play with you?"
Yang Yulan was slightly startled, a little confused.
In her opinion, everyone in the village is nice, and the children in the village should be the same.
She even thought that her daughter would quickly integrate into the village and find some good friends like her.
"I don't know either. I wanted to say hello to them, but they ran away as soon as they saw me!" Fan Xiaolian felt aggrieved.
"It's okay. Maybe Lian'er has just arrived and they are not familiar with it yet. They will definitely be willing to play with Lian'er in the future."
Yang Yulan held her daughter in her arms and comforted her.
Since her husband's death, people in her husband's village have disliked both mother and daughter.
She was always gossiped about by the villagers, and her daughter was even bullied by the children in the village.
Once, he was hit on the head with a stone and was unconscious for several days.
Later, my daughter no longer dared to play with the child.
Now, come to a new place.
She hopes that her daughter can integrate into the village like her and get to know more children in the village.
"Really?"
Fan Xiaolian opened her eyes expectantly.
"Yeah! Really!"
Yang Yulan smiled and said: "After dinner, mother will take you to the department store in the village to buy some candies. Lian'er will bring them to the friends in the village tomorrow. They will definitely like Lian'er!!"
"Mom, are you talking about the big department store in the village? I heard from my cousin that there are many, many things in it!" Fan Xiaolian said excitedly.
"Yeah, it's huge in there!"
Yang Yulan couldn't help but sigh.
It was also the first time she had seen such a large grocery store, which was filled with all kinds of goods, children's toys, daily necessities, etc.
…
The next day, Yang Yulan went to work in the soap workshop, and Fan Xiaolian became busy at home.
Take out the clothes to be dried.
Because he was too short, he had to move chairs to climb up and down, and then he hung the clothes to dry on bamboo poles.
After that, the house was cleaned again.
After finally cleaning the house cleanly, Fan Xiaolian's face showed a satisfied smile.
Then, he ran to the house, took out the candies he bought last night, and ran excitedly towards the entrance of the village.
Because of the spacious entrance to the village and the lush foliage of the locust tree that can provide shade, when it's time for the adults to do things, this is the world for the children in the village.
At this moment, there were many children laughing, chasing and playing under the big locust tree.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xiaolian was filled with envy and immediately ran up with a bag of candies on her chest.
When the children around saw Fan Xiaolian coming, they all stopped and looked at her.
"I have..."
Just when she was about to say I have candy, the children around her suddenly dispersed, and Fan Xiaolian immediately choked back what she wanted to say.
"Let's go, let's go!!"
"What a bummer. Why don't you come here? Come here when we are having fun!"
