After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Someone had raised the chickens and ducks at home, and Yan Qingqing started recruiting workers for the embroidery workshop again.

When they built the embroidery workshop, they said they wanted to recruit embroiderers. If any girl or daughter-in-law wants to learn, they can come and sign up. Of course, not everyone can become an embroiderer, and they need to be screened at all levels.

Once the selection is successful, in addition to learning embroidery for free, you can also work in Yan Qingqing's embroidery workshop after you complete the training.

Although the status of women is not as good as that of men these days, the economic foundation determines the superstructure. Now, there are more than ten people who work as hostesses in Yan Qingqing's house who are not looked down upon by her husband and mother-in-law.

If your little daughter-in-law is selected, she will have a stable income in the future. If she is your own daughter-in-law, you will definitely be able to find a good husband-in-law.

Therefore, many people are staring at Yan Qingqing's embroidery workshop, waiting for them to recruit workers.

Yan Qingqing estimated the days and felt that the heat was almost there, so she asked Li Xiangjian to go to Yanjiacun to pick up Mrs. Yan with the prepared gifts.

Soon Li Xiangjian took Old Mrs. Yan back.

Because Mrs. Yan was here to do business, she felt that she could not embarrass her daughter, so she wore a brand new dress with fine workmanship.

The materials were sent by Yan Qingqing to Li Xiangping during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time, and her hair was combed meticulously.

Yan Qingqing held Mrs. Yan's hand and smiled and said, "Mom, you look really energetic in this outfit. I feel like you have worked so hard for me, but today I see that you can work for at least another 30 years."

Old Mrs. Yan was amused by Yan Qingqing's words and said, "Just make me happy. Mom is already in her fifties. She won't be an old goblin if she lives for another 30 years."

Yan Qingqing said with a smile: "I mean work for another 30 years. You will only be over 80 years old by then. You have to rest for another 30 years. You can at least live to a hundred."

Mrs. Yan was amused by Yan Qingqing's words and knew that her daughter was making her happy.

Mrs. Yan is 55 years old this year. If she can live to be 70 these days, she will be considered a long life. Although she is in very good health, Mrs. Yan has never dared to think that she can live to be a hundred years old.

Yan Qingqing was afraid that Mrs. Yan would be tired from the bumpy journey, so she asked Li Yueniang to take her to rest first, and then ordered Yuan Huiniang and Li Xiniang to inform the villagers that their family was recruiting embroiderers. If you wanted to do it, you could sign up first. .

This time, their recruitment of embroiderers is not limited to Canghe Village. As long as people from all over the country have the foundation of female celebrities, it will be fine.

After the applications are completed, Yuan Huiniang and Li Xiniang will conduct preliminary screening, and finally Mrs. Yan will conduct the screening.

After Mrs. Yan had rested, Yan Qingqing took Li Xiangyang with her to chat with her.

Mrs. Yan looked at the increasingly cute Li Xiangyang and said to Yan Qingqing: "This girl is so pretty. She really doesn't look like a country girl. Not even a lady from a wealthy family is so handsome.

From now on, I need to find a good-looking uncle who can be worthy of this girl. "

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing burst into laughter and said, "Mom, how old is she? Just worry about her marriage. She has five brothers and sisters who are not married yet."

When the old lady Yan was mentioned, her face darkened for a moment, but then returned to normal. Yan Qingqing thought she had made a mistake and didn't pay much attention.

So he smiled and continued: "But I think it is not good for men and women to start a family too early. It is best for men to at least learn to take responsibility, and for women to mature before starting a family."

Mrs. Yan nodded her forehead and said, "If everything goes as you said, how many people will be able to have grandchildren."

Yan Qingqing also knew that she was taking it for granted.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Yuan Huiniang walked in with the list and said with a smile: "Grandma, mother, this is the list that my sister and I have initially selected. There are 96 people in total, 63 of them are from our Canghe Village. The remaining 33 people are from our neighboring villages."

After saying that, he handed the list to Yan Qingqing. Yan Qingqing from another village didn't know much about them, but Yan Qingqing from Canghe Village saw that they were all young girls and wives between ten and 25 years old.

Yan Qingqing asked: "Have you made your requirements clear to them?"

Yuan Huiniang nodded and replied: "I've made it clear, after you learn skills in our embroidery workshop, you can't do rough work, and you have to keep your fingers smooth and tidy.

We teach them for free, but after they complete their studies, they have to work in our embroidery workshop for at least three years. "

Yan Qingqing nodded. These requirements are not excessive. Farm work is required in the countryside these days. If your fingers are rough, you will not be able to do fine embroidery.

Moreover, embroidery is not something that happens overnight. Since Yan Qingqing plans to train embroiderers, she does not want to give up halfway, so she makes it clear in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble later.

Yan Qingqing looked at Mrs. Yan again and asked, "Mom, do you have anything else to add?"

Mrs. Yan smiled and said: "Not yet, as long as the people chosen are honest and honest, the rest will all depend on their understanding.

Just like when you were a child, you didn't have any understanding of female needlework. People can learn a stitch with their eyes closed, but you can't see what you embroidered after half a month of learning. "

At such an old age, Yan Qingqing should feel embarrassed to be exposed by her mother in front of her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.

So Yan Qingqing pretended to be shy and lowered her head, but in fact she was secretly glad that the original owner was a big idiot, otherwise the secret would really be exposed.

However, Yan Qingqing strongly agrees with the concept of understanding. Talent is really a gift from God. Those with potential can be trained to become embroiderers or designers in the future, while those without potential can only do odd jobs.

Yan Qingqing saw that Mrs. Yan had nothing to add, so she said to Yuan Huiniang and Li Xiniang: "Go tell these people and let them go back to prepare. The assessment will be conducted in three days."

The two of them nodded at the same time and went back to work. Old Mrs. Yan sighed: "Mom never thought that you would have such a good life today, so you can close your eyes even if your father and I are no longer here."

Yan Qingqing pulled Old Mrs. Yan's sleeve and said: "Mom, you don't want to say this anymore. We will all be good in the future. I will take my father over after a while. How about you two living with me from now on?" ?”

Mrs. Yan nodded her forehead and said, "You are already a mother-in-law, so why are you talking more and more outrageously?

If your father and I really want to follow you, why don't your three brothers have their backs stabbed? "

Yan Qingqing sighed. She was very willing to support the Yan family in their old age, but I'm afraid they themselves were not willing to do so. But this is a matter for the future, and Yan Qingqing feels there is no need to look for trouble now.

Three days later, many people came to Yan Qingqing's embroidery workshop, but Yuan Huiniang and others only let those who took the assessment in, while the rest of the spectators or accompanying people waited outside the door.

The assessment is also very simple. Mrs. Yan asks everyone who takes the assessment to embroider a piece of work. It does not need to be too complicated, and it is limited to half an hour.

Yuan Huiniang on the side asked with some confusion: "Grandma, is the assessment that simple?"

Old Mrs. Yan shook her head and said: "It seems simple, but it is not simple. It takes half an hour to conceive, color and embroider.

The shorter the time, the better you can see a person’s talent. "

Yuan Huiniang nodded after hearing this and patiently waited for the result with Old Mrs. Yan.
