Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 271 Opening a Letter of Introduction

Aunt Luo finally decided to go to Beijing, but she didn't want to wait for Qin Wangshu to pick her up during the summer vacation. She had already been to Beijing once, so she could go by herself this time.

After going out, especially when she was taken to many places by Qin Wangshu and saw different scenery, she was no longer afraid to go out. In fact, the outside world is just like that. As long as you are a little braver, there is nothing to be afraid of in the outside world.

There is nothing to be afraid of about people from outside. There may be some who are arrogant and look down on people from rural areas, but most of them are very ordinary, just like the people she interacts with on a daily basis.

Wangshu also took her to the former imperial palace, now called the Forbidden City.

That was where the emperor and the empress lived in the past. She had been to places like that, so how could she be afraid of going to other places!

She should contact Qin Wangshu before she goes. But before that, she still has to go to the captain. Now she still needs a letter of introduction to go out. Without a letter of introduction, she can't even buy a ticket.

"You're going to Beijing?" The captain was a little surprised, but then he thought about it and understood. After all, her son goes to school there, and he should want to take her over.

"Mingye, are you planning to stay in Beijing to develop your career?"

If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have thought of bringing Aunt Luo to Beijing. But Aunt Luo didn't have a city hukou, so she would have to rely on Mingye to support her. Mingye was in school, and he didn't have any salary or allowance, so how could he support them?

The team leader frowned, somewhat disapproving of Aunt Luo's going there. She could earn work points in the Qianshan Brigade, but what could she do in Beijing?

"No, it's Wangshu. She opened a store over there and asked me to go over and help." Aunt Luo said nonchalantly. "Mingye just started school, how can we know where he will be in the future? It depends on where he is assigned in the future."

"Opening a store? This..." The captain really wanted to ask Qin Wangshu why he opened a store since he was a college student?

If this shop is not state-owned, then it must be privately owned or self-employed?

Why is Qin Zhiqing so depressed? Why would a good college student become a self-employed person? In the past few years, this would be...

"Yes, you also know that Wangshu's family is unreliable and she can only rely on herself, so she opened a small shop in her spare time to earn some living expenses." Aunt Luo explained to Qin Wangshu.

It was just a small shop, Wangshu would definitely focus on her studies, otherwise she wouldn't have written to ask her to help her. Thinking that Wangshu's shop had been losing money, she wanted to go to Jingshi immediately to help her run the shop.

The captain also thought of what Qin Wangshu had said about her family situation.

"Didn't Qin Zhiqing contact his family even after he was admitted to university?"

"That's not Wangshu's home. Her mother gave birth to a little boy, so how could she remember her daughter who went to the countryside?" Aunt Luo wanted to curse when she thought of Qin Wangshu's mother.

"Another one?" The captain was also a little surprised. Qin Zhiqing's brother was already quite old, so how old was her mother? How could she still have a child?

"No!"

"That's true." Not many people in the Qianshan Brigade favored boys over girls. After all, they had several aunts who were quite successful, and their names were even recorded in their family tree. Not to mention that in times of war, the men all went out to fight, and the family was supported by the women.

Because of these reasons, although they also valued capable sons, they also valued their daughters more than people in other villages. Although they did not favor boys over girls, the team leader had seen how those families who favored boys over girls did it.

"Then you won't cause any trouble to her by going there, will you?" The captain also had a sense of awe towards Jing City.

Aunt Luo had been to Beijing before and brought back many photos. Those photos caused quite a stir in their team. Some children even said they wanted to be admitted to a university in Beijing and then bring their relatives to Beijing to play.

Such words made everyone in the team very happy. They all said that they would educate their children well and support them as long as they could go to school.

Now he only hopes that he can live longer so that he can see his brigade and have more of his people become college students, leaving this rural village and heading towards a broader world.

"Wangshu said she didn't trust anyone else, so she asked me to go over and help her." Aunt Luo didn't notice the boasting in her tone when she said this.

"Wangshu also said that I could bring my sewing machine over, and then I could help make clothes for people in the shop. This way, even if the shop doesn't have much business, I can still make money to support myself."

Seeing Qin Wangshu making plans for Aunt Luo, the captain felt relieved.

"Okay, I'll give you a letter of introduction. As for your family, I'll ask my family to look after you, so you can go with peace of mind." said the captain.

"If you bring a sewing machine, I'll ask my eldest son to take you there so he can see the world."

"That's great." Having a strong laborer to accompany her would save her a lot of trouble. "I'll have Mingye make up for the work points he lost."

"No need. After all, you are his elder. It's okay if you delay him for a few days. Why does Mingye need to make up the work points for him?"

"If he hadn't started a family, he wouldn't have used it, but now he has his own family. He still has to support his wife and children, so he has to make up for it."

Aunt Luo's words made sense and the captain couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Afterwards, Aunt Luo got the letter of introduction from the captain. After getting the letter, she went to the brigade headquarters with the captain. She wanted to call Qin Wangshu and tell her that she was going there.

Although she had received the letter of introduction, she still had a lot of things to do, especially she had to pack her things in advance.

She wanted to bring a lot of things, but she didn't know how to bring them. How about sending them by mail like Wangshu did? Even if the captain's son came with her, she couldn't take everything with her, after all, there was also a sewing machine.

If she didn't take these things with her, Wangshu and Da Wa would definitely buy her new ones, which would be a waste of money. She should just take as much as she can. She was thinking about which things she could take with her and which could be mailed directly.

When she gets home tonight, she will start packing and will have someone take her to the post office to mail it tomorrow.

After arriving at the brigade headquarters, Aunt Luo called Qin Wangshu's dormitory.

"Hello, I'm looking for Qin Wangshu in dormitory 305." Aunt Luo was already very familiar with calling Qin Wangshu.
