Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Chapter 199 Preparing to Recruit Workers

Ye Yuanxin said happily. Upon hearing this change, Wei Qiqi was also very happy and pulled Janna to look.

Janna looked much more confident, not as dull as before, and there was no trace of all the damage she had sustained.

"Madam Wei, are you okay?"

Zhu Youwei appeared out of nowhere and came forward. Wei Qiqi looked at Zhu Youwei, and he looked even older.

There were wrinkles between his brows, and one could tell at a glance that he was in constant worry.

I felt somewhat happy when I saw Wei Qiqi.

"Very good, how about you?"

"When I get older, I always have this old problem, but it doesn't matter. Now I have Janna, Janna is very smart, and it's easy to learn."

Hearing this, Wei Qiqi was a little surprised. She didn't expect him to say such a thing.

In the past, most people, like craftsmen, would pass down their skills to their sons rather than their daughters. I didn’t expect Zhu Youwei to accept it so well.

"I heard you want to take Janna as your apprentice?"

"Madam Wei, I have heard about it. Yes, although she is a girl, she is very talented. I want to take in another disciple, so I have decided to choose her."

"I wonder if Madam Wei is willing to give up her love?"

Wei Qiqi thought about how Janna had always been willing to hang out with Zhu Youwei and watch him work, and later she also learned painting from Zhu Youwei. It seemed that she really liked this job.

"Why are you asking me this? This is a matter between you and her. If you two agree, no one will dare to say anything. But there is one thing: she has no name or status. Even her name was chosen by me. If you need any household registration or something, I have to handle it."

Wei Qiqi didn't know what was required to become a disciple, but Janna really had nothing. She was an illegal resident, so even if she wanted anything, she had to ask someone to handle it for her.

Zhu Youwei nodded and said, "You don't need anything to become my disciple, as long as she is here. I'm not a famous person..."

"Besides, Janna is indeed very intelligent, and the things she creates can often be applied to other situations."

Wei Qiqi discovered that when Zhu Youwei mentioned Gana's handicraft, his eyes were bright and his whole body was full of energy and spirit.

"Very good. I will definitely come to the apprenticeship ceremony."

Janna clapped her hands happily, while Zhu Youwei bowed to express his gratitude.

After completing these tasks, Wei Qiqi began to talk about other things.

"I came here this time because I need Master Zhu to take action and bring a few apprentices to help me make a curved plow and a hoe."

Zhu Youwei nodded and said, "Okay, then how much does Madam Wei want? How long will it take?"

“The sooner and the more the better.”

The three words "Yue" made Zhu Youwei pause, and then he understood what Wei Qiqi meant.

"But Madam Wei, even if I add my subordinates and two apprentices, it is still not enough to make so many. It will take at least five days to make one."

Wei Qiqi already had a solution on the way here.

"Five days for one person?"

Zhu Youwei nodded: "This is when everyone cooperates and things go faster."

"If I recruit someone for you, will it be faster?"

"The more people, the better. The more people, the faster it will be." Zhu Youwei answered quickly, and then immediately frowned: "But Madam Wei, in this way, won't they know how to make the curved plow and the plow pear?"

"There are so many parts to make a curved plow and a hoe. If one person makes a part or one, many people can make an assembly line."

Wei Qiqi explained to him and went over it in his mind as well. There were many young and middle-aged people who had no life left in the city. It would be easy to screen the situation and select people when the time came.

Zhu Youwei thought about it in his mind and immediately clapped his hands in approval: "Yes, let them make a part or a component each, and bring the finished part to me. I will lead my subordinates to assemble it, which will naturally be faster."

Things were looking promising, so Wei Qiqi didn't delay any longer: "Since I've already discussed it with Master Zhu, I'll immediately start recruiting people."

Zhu Youwei nodded, his excitement clearly visible on his face.

Wei Qiqi was ready to leave and told Jana to come back to the mansion when she was free. Jana nodded, but turned around and refused to let her go.

"You...can't, leave!"

Janna pulled Wei Qiqi childishly, her hands moving rapidly almost non-stop, but it took her a long time to utter these words.

She grabbed with quite strong force and kept pulling Wei Qiqi towards one place.

Ye Yuanxin tilted her head: "The master has something to do. I want you to keep the master, but she doesn't have time..."

"No, I have something...for her to see!"

Janna was a little excited, "I remembered something, so I drew it and wanted to show it to Qi."

Wei Qiqi was not quite used to the way Jana spoke, but she understood what Jana wanted to say.

"You mean you remembered something and drew it to show me?"

Janna nodded and agreed with Wei Qiqi.

Seeing her insistence, Wei Qiqi also became interested. What does it mean to remember something? How come she suddenly remembered something after not remembering it for such a long time?

She was incoherent before, could she say she had lost her memory? But if she had lost her memory, Janna obviously remembered her mother at first...

Yes, some people suffer from partial amnesia.

It is not uncommon for people to forget a specific person, or remember a specific person, but it is hard to say what the situation is like for Janna.

Janna had been assaulted and lost her mother before, so it was possible that she lost all her memories overnight due to excessive grief.

Huo Xiuwen behind him wanted to follow, but was stopped by Jana, and then went into the small house where she lived now.

Wei Qiqi followed him into the house.

There was an open window in the room, and a wooden table was placed in front of the window. There was nothing fancy in the room, but on the table there were some hand-carved things by Janna.

“Seven, seven…”

Jana called Wei Qiqi, and then took out a wooden object and some paper from under the bed.

Wei Qiqi first took the rice paper, but the overly large paper blocked her view. She moved the rice paper farther away. Wei Qiqi, who was smiling, suddenly froze.

Then the paper was suddenly brought closer for inspection.

The painting is sloppily done, and the overall proportions are off. In some places, there are a few drops of ink that have caused smudges.

There is a picture of an airplane on the rice paper. The airplane is parked in a dense jungle. Half of the fuselage has crashed and is burning, while the other half, from the perspective of the rice paper, is visible in the sky, looking like it is flying in mid-air.

airplane?

That's a plane!

Wei Qiqi suddenly raised her head and looked at Jana. The unknown intense emotion bursting out of her eyes made Jana couldn't help but take a step back.

"Did you draw this picture yourself, or did you pick it up from somewhere?"

"I, drew this." Janna pointed at herself and then gestured to show that it was she who drew it.

"This, I drew it." He handed the plane in his hand to Wei Qiqi.

“This is mine too…”

It was an airplane carved out of wood.
