Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder
Chapter 147: The Nanny in Troubled Times 13
There are not many job opportunities in troubled times. It is difficult for men to find jobs, let alone women. Although Ye Zhiqiu considers himself talented, it would of course be better to be able to make money without having to look at other people's faces. Who doesn't want to make money while standing?
She ranked the suitable jobs for women in the world. A salesperson earned more than a cafe waiter, but the best job was still a university teacher. Although there were few female university teachers, it did not mean that there were none. It was only good at the moment, and might not be good after the war.
Although you can change career later, it is tiring to change career path midway. It is difficult to find a job once, so why do you have to start over at an old age? This position is ruled out.
She doesn't want to deal with people, so freelance work is more suitable for her. However, writing is not her strong point. She is good at translating works, and her writing style may be average. But she knows many foreign languages, and she should have no trouble finding a job after knowing three foreign languages in a dozen years.
It’s settled. From now on, she won’t translate novels unless she has good writing skills. Translating various professional books does not require good writing skills, but only requires understanding of various professional terms, especially in engineering majors.
This is exactly what I am good at. I have traveled through many worlds, studied different majors, gained broad knowledge, and understood many subjects but not in depth, which is just right for a translator.
After deciding on the direction, I also need to find a publisher willing to accept the book, which is also a problem. But there is no rush for this. I can earn a living by writing stories for gossip tabloids under a pseudonym. The most important thing at the moment is the entrance examination.
Although the exam is simple, she still needs to prepare carefully. Not only will it be embarrassing if she fails, but it will also be a waste of the registration fee. Money should not be wasted. She only plans to apply to one school. If she can pass the exam, that would be the best. If not, she will consider other schools.
She was so busy preparing for the exam that she had no time to take care of Ye Yuan. After handing her over to Li Ma, she never asked too much about her and only met with her at dinner time every day.
At first, Ye Yuan was worried that Ye Zhiqiu didn't like her. She was relieved after waiting for a few days and was not kicked out. However, in order to stay at home, she knew how to help Li Ma with work at a young age, showing her ability to read people's faces.
Ye Zhiqiu felt sad when seeing this. He originally wanted the child to change his ways, but when he thought about some things that happened in the future, he felt that it was not a bad thing for the child to be able to read people's faces at a young age. It was better than being stupid. It would be miserable if he offended someone one day and died without knowing how.
After the exam, she took Ye Yuan to find a school. Primary school enrollment was much easier. As long as the family had money and was willing to send their children to school, the school would accept everyone.
After registering, she took Ye Yuan to the department store to buy school bags and stationery, all of which were imported. There was a lot of space for these things, but they were too advanced for her to use, and she was afraid of embarrassing the child if she made them herself.
Don’t think that the world of children is necessarily innocent. They should dress up to look richer when going to school so that they are less likely to be bullied. Even if such a thing really happens, the teacher will pay more attention to it.
Ye Yuan was so happy carrying her new schoolbag, but she was worried that she had spent too much money, so she couldn't help but persuade her mother, "That's enough. You don't need to buy any more."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We still haven't bought some clothes. We need to buy Western dresses, Chinese school uniforms, and little leather shoes. Other students have them, so we can't go without them either." If conditions were not limited, Ye Zhiqiu would have also wanted to arrange special classes.
When Ye Yuan heard that they had to buy clothes, she felt even more uneasy. How much money would it cost? Her mother also had to go to school, so where would the family get so much money? She was afraid that one day the family would run out of money and have to go back to the orphanage.
After she left, she never wanted to go back, although she would occasionally miss her old friends and her mother told her that she could go see them when she missed them, but she still refused.
Once upon a time, there was an older child who was adopted and returned to the orphanage to visit her future friends. She secretly saw that after her good friends left, the children who stayed in the orphanage threw the gifts they received on the ground and stomped on them again and again, and then picked them up and cursed.
She was too young to understand at that time, but now she understands. She lives such a good life, but her friends who stay in the orphanage still go hungry every day. No matter how many gifts she gives, it will not help. It is better to give some food.
Unfortunately, she has not made any money yet and is unable to send food. The food at home is bought by her mother, and she has no right to give it away. When she grows up and has the ability, those friends will also have grown up and will not need her help.
It doesn’t matter. Her mother said that she can help other children when she grows up, so she must grow up quickly and make money.
A week later, Ye Zhiqiu's test results were announced, and as expected, she was admitted to Shanghai City University. She applied for a major in mathematics, which was not her strong point, but it was enough in this era.
The mother and daughter went to school together every morning, had lunch at school, and went home together at night. Ye Yuan felt that this kind of life was stolen, and every night before going to bed she was worried that this was a dream, and that she would be back in the workhouse the next day.
When she woke up the next day, the sun was still there and she was still sleeping in her warm big bed. Only then did she feel that it was not a dream.
She no longer misses her biological parents. It doesn't matter who they are. The person who threw her into the orphanage was not necessarily a bad person. It was a pity that there were too many children in the family and they couldn't feed them all. It was better than throwing her into the toilet and drowning her.
Seeing that she was in a better mood, Ye Zhiqiu revealed their true identities. If possible, she would have kept it a secret for the rest of her life, but as the food conditions improved and Ye Yuan's face gained weight, the two of them looked more and more alike.
Recently, Li's mother's eyes were looking at her strangely. Sooner or later, she would be suspected. It would be better for her to tell the truth as soon as possible.
Ye Yuan couldn't believe her ears after hearing the whole story, but she knew Ye Zhiqiu wouldn't lie to her. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad, but she knew she was lucky to have a mother who was willing to work hard to find her, and her mother was capable.
More abandoned children never even wait to be found by their mothers, and even more mothers are incapable of doing so. Although she is a child, she grew up in an orphanage and has seen too many poor families where abandoning children is very common.
Not to mention girls, too many boys will just be thrown away, but boys are more likely to be adopted. She used to think about being a boy, but now she doesn't think so. With her mother around, being a girl is fine.
"Mom, I don't blame you, but did my sister really drown?" She wanted to find her sister more than she felt sad.
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "I don't know either. Your grandmother was in charge of what happened back then. If she were still alive, I would definitely recognize her if we met."
In fact, it is not her who has this ability, but the system. Unfortunately, the system is sometimes effective and sometimes not. She cannot find out the truth of the year, nor can she find out the life or death of the original body's little daughter. Moreover, the system pretends to be mysterious and says that we will meet each other if we are destined to.
Bah! It's a system that's playing tricks. It's a pity that she can't do anything to the system. Who made her need it? She can only indulge its bad habits.
