After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

"Sister Zhou is also working in the weaving workshop after getting married."

Lian Ye's mother remembered that the daughter of Ye Qingsan's uncle got married when she arrived in Kaoshan Village and had been working in a weaving workshop.

"Shi Liu is a good girl. You should get along well with her and learn more from her." Lian Ye's mother was excited. The Zhou family is so nice. They know her well and their family conditions are also good.

Lian Ye's mother instantly lost interest in Ma Xiucai. She thought that when she got old, she might not be able to see her daughter very often, so it was better for her to stay in the village.

Lian Ye's mother didn't keep her and went back to talk to her father.

When the Zhou family heard that the Ma family was interested in proposing marriage to Lian Ye, Zhou Ming was the first to get anxious. The second son of the Zhou family had three sons, and Zhou Ming was the youngest. He was the only one in his family who was not married.

Zhou Ming begged his mother to propose marriage to him. He liked Lian Ye very much. However, Lian Ye was young at first, so he did not tell her. But now that someone else wanted to propose marriage to him, he could not sit still at home.

The Zhou family knew the girl Lian Ye. They heard that she was very capable in the weaving workshop. Last time, she defended Qing Ya very much. Now that their child had fallen in love with such a good girl, they quickly went to find a matchmaker to get her married.

Ma Youdao considered it for a few days and finally gave up. His family had a shallow foundation and he needed to find a Yue family that could help him.

Soon the Zhou family went to Lianye's family to propose marriage. Lianye's mother did not make things difficult for the Zhou family. One could tell the character of the Zhou family by looking at Zhou Shi.

Besides, they were from the same village and the Ye family was the most powerful, so she agreed to the marriage with confidence.

When Ma Youdao heard that Lian Ye was engaged, he did not show it in front of Aunt Ma and went back to the house and got drunk.

He missed a good girl, but he would not disturb her. He would just watch her be happy quietly.

From then on, Ma Youdao's life was filled with studying and teaching, and he would occasionally go to Wu'an City and the wharf with Lin Wenxuan.

Ye Qing felt a little guilty at first, as Ma Youdao was scared away by her. Later, Zhou Ming came to thank her secretly, and she realized that they had been interested in each other for a long time, but they just didn't say it out loud.

Ye Qing felt relieved, and he even gave her a gift when they got engaged.

Ye Qing's life became peaceful. The scholar in the family read books all day long. The children also went to school. She had nothing to do at home, so she often went to see Ye Xiang.

Ye Xiang gave birth to a boy. Ye Qing looked at her brother-in-law who was smiling from ear to ear and was also happy for Ye Xiang.

The embroidery workshop is now on the right track. The embroiderers' skills are getting better and better, and they are receiving more and more orders.

There are also a few girls who are very good at learning and can now embroider folding screens. Ye Qing gives them commissions, 10% for each finished embroidery.

The girls' college was recruiting students this year without any advertising, and even added several extra classes.

The girls who worked in the embroidery workshop all used their wages to buy land.

A screen embroidered by a girl was favored by a woman in the capital, who bought it for five hundred taels of silver, taking fifty taels at a time.

A middle-aged man may not be able to earn so much money in a year.

Gu Changfeng was tired of being asked questions by people who came to him, so he went to the head of the village to make a decision. They wanted to open embroidery classes in the private school so that boys in the family could also learn.

At this time, they completely forgot that embroidery is a woman's job. Now, if a girl works in an embroidery workshop, the threshold of her home will be trampled by people proposing marriage.

The village head had no other ideas, so he consulted with Ye Qing. Ye Qing suggested that the village build a technical academy that only taught basic characters and techniques.

The head of the village thought it made sense, so he went back to get the consent of the whole village and decided to build the academy near the mountain, which would be farther away from the village and would not affect the lives of the villagers.

"Qingya, I haven't seen you for a few days. What are you busy with?" Ye Xiang came over to play with Zhuangzhuang.

"Nothing. The village head asked me to come over and help look at what courses to offer. The village is planning to hire a teacher to teach."

Ye Xiang sighed, "Now there are three schools in our village. Children in the village will be blessed in the future. No matter they have the talent for studying or not, they will not starve to death."

Ye Qing agreed very much. It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If he learns a skill, he can support himself.

"Third sister, have you made up your mind? Do you want to be the manager?"

Ye Yuan came to see Ye Qing yesterday. Linglong Pavilion opened a branch, and the pressure on the weaving workshop increased. The embroidery workshop needed him to do everything himself, and he was too busy to handle it.

Ye Xiang smiled cheerfully, "That's why I came to see you today. Zhuangzhuang is six months old now, so he doesn't need me to watch over him all the time. I just came to ask if you still need anyone."

"It's very necessary. The embroidery workshop has received several large orders and they all need someone to look after them."

"I'll go back and find a woman to look after the child. I'll come back to work in three days."

Ye Qing didn't expect her to come so soon, "Third sister, the mother-in-law must not be careless, and must find someone with good character."

Ye Xiang also had this concern, "Don't worry, I've been looking for two months and I've almost found a candidate."

Ye Qing didn't ask any more questions, and they went to the backyard together. Li liked children, and Zhuangzhuang hadn't been here for a while, so she had been thinking about him.

Ye Xiang placed the child in the Ye family, where a maid was taking care of him. The family members only had to make sure the maid did not abuse the child.

Ye Xiang could also come back to see the children during lunch. Wei was the happiest, with two sons, one in the city and the other studying in the house all day.

With Zhuangzhuang making noises around, the quiet home became a little more lively.

The technical college in the village is very successful, and people from Wu'an city send their children here.

You can learn real skills by paying some tuition in the academy. If you look for a master outside, you need to work for the master for three years before learning.

The apprentice must endure the beatings and scoldings from the master. In case the master holds back, the apprentice will be helpless.

Ye Xiang used to be the manager of Yipinxiang and also trained in Linglong Pavilion for a period of time. Now he is in charge of the embroidery workshop. Except for the initial adaptation phase, the work is very easy.

Ye Qing followed and watched for a while, and then he felt confident in Ye Xiang's ability. Ye Xiang was also watched by Ye Yuan, so Ye Qing went to the embroidery workshop less often.

As Ye Chenjing's wedding date was getting closer, Ye Qing called Ye Xiang to come home to discuss it.

She wanted to make wedding clothes for her fifth brother, and the Ling family had already sent her the sample of Ling Rong's wedding dress.

Ye Qing wanted to make custom clothes for his brother and also for his family. It would be best if they were of similar styles so that they could all be seen as a family.

Ye Xiang was very interested. "Qingya, if we do a good job this time, there will definitely be a lot of people coming out to watch the fun when Fifth Brother gets married, and it can also promote our embroidery workshop."

This is what Ye Qing meant. When Ye Chenyu and Sun Hang get married, she will give them custom-made wedding dresses.

Ye Xiang left with her family's measurements. She was going back to the embroidery workshop to discuss it with a few teaching maids.

I'll draw the pattern in the next two days and then come to my house for everyone to choose from. Ye Xiang is full of energy now. She gets commission from the embroidery workshop and has saved a lot of money.

After her husband's family split up, she bought a big house and sent her son to school.
