Song Qing kept in mind his master's instructions. If the young lady made any oversights, he would need to be there to remind her.
But he always believed that the young lady was smart and could think of such a thoughtful way to manage the workshop at the age of ten.
Now, too many things happened to her at once, and she couldn't take care of the bookstore for the time being.
Therefore, he didn't rush to remind him. Now, as he expected, the young lady finished taking care of Granny Hua's funeral affairs and then started to deal with the affairs of the bookstore.
Song Qing had a hard time finding someone suitable to be a clerk in the workshop.
The staff in the workshop is simple, and there are only a few people in total.
I can count on one hand the number of boys who have gone to school in the past few years, and they are all still attending Mongolian school. Their families have high expectations for them, and I am afraid they do not want them to work as waiters.
The young lady needs to concentrate on her spiritual practice, and the bookstore really needs a trustworthy clerk.
When Song Yushan saw Uncle Qing frowning and thinking for a long time, she knew that this matter was difficult to handle. Just as she was about to think of something else to do, she caught a glimpse of Uncle Ma's granddaughter hiding behind the pillars in the corridor and peeking at her, and her heart moved.
"Uncle Qing, all the boys in the workshop have been sent to school. What about the girls? Have any of them been taught by their fathers and brothers and know a few words?" Song Yushan asked: "Maybe some families are more open-minded and would like their daughters to She can also go out to work. If she doesn’t know how to read, I can teach her.”
She can even teach the big white goose in the family, and it is not a problem to teach a girl. She feels more at ease when a girl works as a clerk in a bookstore, but there are probably very few people who can let her daughter show off.
At first, she also thought about letting the craftsmen's daughters learn to read and write, but in the end she failed to do so.
Because the county high school does not accept girls, everyone does not want their unmarried daughters to get along too much with foreign men, which will affect their future marriages.
Many families in Fushui County still believe that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent.
A man like Yuan Shibo, who came from a good family and doted on his children, paid a lot of money to hire a teacher for his son Yuan Heng, but his daughter Shu Niang only learned a few words from her father and brother. The female teacher hired for her only taught her female prostitutes.
There were few girls who were willing to study, and even fewer families were willing to let girls study. Therefore, Song Yushan's idea of sending girls in the workshop to study had to be abandoned.
Song Yushan just asked. If it doesn't work, then he can teach the big white goose well and let him look after the store.
Song Qing hesitated for a long time before speaking: "In the workshop, I am the only one who has learned how to teach my daughter Jingniang, like Master Zeng. It's just that Jingniang's personality is far different from the character Jing in her name. She is actually a little younger and is not good enough." Be calm, I'm afraid that if you can't help, you will cause trouble to the lady."
"Dad, why are you talking about your daughter like this?" A half-year-old girl with a fat face ran over, glared at Uncle Qing angrily, and then bowed to Song Yushan respectfully and crookedly, with round eyes. Looking at her with nervousness and longing, he introduced himself stumblingly.
"The little girl Jing Niang has admired her very much since she was a child. In the future, she also wants to be in the same family as her. I am willing to work in a bookstore. Please accept me!"
Uncle Ma's granddaughter disappeared briefly for a while, and now she appeared in the same place again.
It is self-evident who will submit the letter.
Song Yushan found it interesting. When Uncle Qing wanted to ask Jingniang, she stopped him and asked Jingniang specifically: "Is it your tenth birthday on the ninth day of next month?"
Jing Niang was surprised and happy, and nodded repeatedly.
The lady actually remembered her birthday!
Song Yushan then asked her three more questions:
"The bookstore opens at the beginning of the morning, but closes at the right time. You have to leave home and live in the bookstore before you can go home. You are not even ten years old. You can take care of yourself, but are you willing to leave home?
Most of the people who come and go in the bookstore are men. If someone says that you, a girl, work in the bookstore and do not behave as a woman, which will affect your future marriage, how will you treat it?
There is a huge physical difference between men and women. If someone bullies you, how will you treat them? "
Without thinking, Jingniang replied: "I can probably do it. I can sweep, make fires, and cook, and I often help in the workshop. There is no problem leaving home. I have long wanted to go out and make a living!"
Moreover, I also want to imitate a young lady in the future, set up a female household, set up a lintel, and recruit a son-in-law. I know that recruiting a son-in-law is not easy, and I need to prepare early. Now I am short of opportunities to contact men, so I carefully examine and choose personally!
If someone looks down on me because I work in a bookstore, that person is not a candidate for my marriage. What I am looking for is a true gentleman who is not limited by reputation.
Therefore, working in a bookstore is not only harmless to my marriage, but also has many benefits.
As for bullying, I'm not even afraid of it. If you're worried, Miss, just let me bring a brick. If anyone dares to use force to cause trouble and bully Miss, I'll beat him to death with a brick! "
Song Qing's lips twitched when he heard this. This was his daughter.
She is also the only daughter in the family. The young lady taught by the master is polite and polite, but his Jing Niang learned her gangsterism from somewhere. Is this what the little girl said?
He even slapped him to death. If the young lady hadn't stopped him, he would have shown her how powerful he was today. Why would the young lady want a gangster-like guy? What's the use of knowing more words?
Song Yushan now understood why Uncle Qing said that Jing Niang was very different from Jing Zi. She was really a tiger girl.
Not only is she not too young to be useful as Uncle Qing said, but she has some thoughts of her own, but her personality is a bit tougher.
But this kind of character is very consistent with her ambition to choose a husband personally, recruit a son-in-law to her house, and establish a family.
Song Yushan actually felt that she was suitable to work as a clerk in a bookstore, at least her psychological quality was strong enough.
"There is a one-month inspection period, and one or two months of silver during the inspection period. After passing the inspection, you will get two or two months of silver plus commission from selling books. There are rituals on New Year's Day, two days off every ten days, food and accommodation are included, and you can read as many books as you like in the bookstore. , you can also ask me questions at any time in the book, and if you are willing, just go and pack your things!"
Jing Niang ran away: "Miss, wait a moment, I'm going to pack my luggage!"
Before Song Qing came back to his senses, Madam Jing had disappeared and she could still be heard cheering: "Tongmei, I can work as a waiter for you!"
The little girl behind the pillar disappeared again at some point.
Song Yushan couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Qing, Jingniang is very energetic!"
Song Qing was very worried: "If she causes trouble, the lady will definitely send her back and I will take care of her!"
"Uncle Qing is so humble. I think Jing Niang is very capable and can be of great help to me!" Song Yushan praised: "You can just leave her to me without any worries. I have started practicing now. Ordinary people are not mine." opponent."
The young lady seemed to really like Jingniang, and Song Qing was confused.
How could a young lady with such a determined mind, a measured conduct, and a courageous and resourceful woman fall in love with the devil star of his family?
Song Qing didn't even think about it until the little girl followed the young lady with a small bundle and a big brick in her arms.
I hope his wife Jingniang can learn more from her and absorb some of the aroma of books in the bookstore!
