The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

"Miss Miao, why are you here?" Xie Yan was a little surprised.

Miao Erya coughed a few times in fright at Xie Yan's words, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xie, please call me Erya directly, we rough people don't pay much attention, the neighbors around here call me that."

Xie Yan didn't mean to make Miao Erya feel cramped, but felt that it was the Republic of China after all, and it might be rude to directly call a teenage girl by her name. Ya took the initiative to say that it was okay, and Xie Yan immediately changed her address.

"Erya, is your house near here? Do you need me to help you get something?"

"My house is not far from here. It's just in the alley to the west at the fork in front of the road. It takes a few minutes to walk there." Miao Erya said with a big grin, "Mr. Just come by yourself."

"..." Xie Yan looked at Miao Erya's healthy physique and energetic eyes, and somewhat didn't want to admit that what the other party said was the truth.

At this time, the sky was not yet completely dark, Xie Yan took advantage of the afterglow of the sun to see clearly what Miao Erya was holding in her arms - a big red quilt, two mandarin duck pillows, and there were many piles of pillows on it. Less embroidered shoes, handkerchiefs, hijabs and other miscellaneous things.

"Let me help you take the things on it to your house, otherwise it will be inconvenient for you to keep your balance." Xie Yan said as she took off the embroidered shoes and handkerchief for Miao Erya, so that she could hug things in a different position, "There is someone in your family Do you want to have a happy event?"

"Thank you, my sister is going to get married at the end of the month." Miao Erya smiled shyly, "I'll get her dowry for her."

Buying this kind of instant product from a small shop for her daughter's personal dowry is actually a bit of a loss, but Miao Erya's family background is indeed average, so it is not incomprehensible.

Miao Erya glanced at Xie Yan with some anxiety, for fear that this Mr. Xie would look down on their family after hearing this, but Xie Yan didn't understand these twists and turns about dowry and face, and just smiled and nodded, "Then I wish your sister a happy wedding in advance."

"... She will." The smile on Miao Erya's face darkened.

"Is there any problem?" Xie Yan was puzzled.

"It's nothing, just thinking that my sister is going to get married soon, I'm a little bit reluctant." Erya Miao hurriedly came back to her senses, shaking her head quickly, her family ugliness should not be publicized, how could she bother Mr. Xie with such trivial matters.

Seeing that Miao Erya didn't want to mention it, Xie Yan didn't ask any further questions. The two of them were silent all the way, and stopped in front of a slightly crooked wooden door after a few minutes.

"My home is here." Miao Erya asked cautiously, "Mr. Xie, would you like to go in and have some tea?"

Miao Erya couldn't tell whether she wanted Xie Yan to visit his home or not. On the one hand, she was afraid that Xie Yan would be disappointed and despised by her home, but on the other hand, she wanted to ask him some questions, so she was extremely conflicted.

"No, I still have something to buy, so I'll visit you another day."

"...Okay, Mr. Xie, go slowly."

Seeing that Xie Yan chose to refuse, Miao Erya felt a strong disappointment in her heart. She pursed her lips and was about to push the door to go home, but Xie Yan, who was about to leave, stopped again.

"By the way, Erya, have you heard of the new school plan recently promoted by the Hankou Education Bureau? Children who meet the school age can go to school with reduced tuition as long as they pass the exam. I remember that you were very interested in going to school before, and you can discuss it with your family. Do you want to go or not?"

"..." Miao Erya opened her mouth, her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with unstoppable excitement and gratitude.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yan didn't understand why the other party reacted so strongly.

"Actually, I have heard of this school before, but I have never dared to try it." Miao Erya said shyly, "I have never been to school before, and I don't know what the exam is like. I wanted to ask you about it. Ask, and don’t know how to speak…”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Xie Yan was taken aback, and immediately encouraged the other party, "As long as you want to learn, it's never too late. If you don't pass the middle school exam, you can also start studying from elementary school."

"Elementary school?" Miao Erya opened her mouth, "But I heard that primary school is not for children aged seven or eight?"

"Elementary school is a place of enlightenment. Although most of the students in it are children, there is no rule that only children can enroll." Xie Yan looked at Miao Erya seriously, "If you really want to learn knowledge, you must You have to let go of these embarrassing thoughts in order to gain something."

"...I understand." Miao Erya thought for a while, and finally nodded with firm eyes, "I'll go back and tell my parents to see if the school still recruits."

"Come on." Xie Yan was very happy to see that Miao Erya was willing to try, "If you need it, you can find me at the apartment where we came here at this time in the future. Where do I rent now, I can help You do some basic homework to make sure you pass the entrance exam."

"Thank you, Mr. Xie!" Miao Erya couldn't help but twitched her lips when she heard this, and after saying goodbye to Xie Yan, she returned to the room with a smile still on her face.

A person like Mr. Xie is not only good-looking and knowledgeable, but also approachable, and understands a lot of truths. How did God give birth to him?What kind of woman will she be able to stand by his side and join hands with him for the rest of her life?

Miao Erya sighed deeply when she thought of her sister's husband-in-law who was about to marry. He is also a human being, so why is Mr. Xie so good while some people are so unbearable?

"Erya, what are you laughing at?" Miao Daya, who was embroidering shoes in the house, saw her sister enter the door, her mouth still not falling, and she was a little curious.

"Sister, why are you embroidering things again!" Miao Erya came back to her senses, saw the work in her sister's hands, and thought of something, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart, "Did the Wei family send someone to tell you to do it for them again?" Do you want to bring some clothes?"

"From now on, it's the parents-in-law's family, it should be." Seeing that her younger sister was angry, Miao Daya quickly persuaded her.

"What should I do? You accidentally hurt your finger while working a while ago, and they don't know, why should they abuse you like this!" I'm not an unreasonable person when it comes to making clothes, but do you see how many things they let you make these days?"

Miao Erya counted with her fingers, "Six pairs of men's shoes, six pairs of women's shoes, five jackets, more than a dozen pairs of water pants... To put it bluntly, they are more than enough to wear until they die, and they can still be used in the coffin. Take two new ones and wear them in the underworld!"

"Erya!" Miao Daya was taken aback, "You...how can you say that about elders?"

"They are my elders." Miao Erya snorted, "Sister, listen to my advice, if the Wei family treats you like this before you get married, will your life be easier in the future? And that Wei Dalang is not very good Stuff, a few days ago I heard someone say that he was fighting with people on the pier because of the woman who sang music!"

"Sister, you have a good temper, high craftsmanship, and better-looking appearance than me. Even if our family is poor, we can't find a good family if we wait a long time. Why do you have to marry the Wei family?"

"Erya..." Miao Daya put down the work in her hands, her fingers hurt so badly that she could hardly curl up.

Of course, she hadn't thought about what her sister said, but marriage should follow the words of her parents and the matchmaker's agreement. Who should spend a lifetime with a person, God has already decided, whether it is good or not is fate, she What can I do?

"Wei's family is better off than ours, and they helped my father back then and were kind to us. They should look down on me in their hearts, but they just do more work. Are we noble people who can't bear hardships? Don't worry, it won't be a lifetime, and it will be fine." Miao Daya smiled and changed the subject, "Did you get the dowry back? Show me the size, most of these finished shoes don't fit, and you have to remake them yourself. Change."

Miao Daya wanted to take the things in her sister's hand, but she was sideways avoided by the other party.

"Then what if Wei Dalang treats you badly in the future? With the Wei family's attitude, if he bullies you, who will support you?!" Miao Erya still didn't give up and wanted to persuade her sister to resist.

"As long as I treat him well, I'll make him feel some love." Miao Daya was silent for a while, and finally said.

"..."

"Where are you going, Erya?" Miao Daya was startled when she saw her younger sister pick up the dowry and leave.

"I'll change your shoes!" Miao Erya growled almost depressingly, "How much more work can you do with your hands? Be careful that the Wei family will add some more clothes for you tomorrow!"
