However, looking again this ti, everyone just shook their heads and sighed.
"Captain Shi is really a good guy, but the burden at ho is too heavy!"
"Indeed, look at that yard, just tidying up the vegetable garden every day must take a lot of effort!"
Then, glancing at the sheets swaying in the wind nearby: "Oh dear, these are cotton sheets, without an elder here, it’s just poor planning. They really don’t know how to live..."
Saying this, everyone beca more obviously hesitant, hurriedly walking away under the blazing sun, nudging each other to leave.
...
Inside the house, Chu River was still calculating his financials.
——Teacher Xiao Zhou makes 18 a month, but if she eats less, the sisters-in-law are right, marrying soone can help with the chores and earn an extra inco.
It’s worthwhile.
Moreover, after two or three months, she could beco permanent at 28.
Although marriage requires a dowry, she would calculate according to the only rate she knows—88—and it could be earned back by the end of this year.
No loss.
——She wants to marry!
...
Da Dan still didn’t know how his own aunt was ssing up.
After a wave of praise, he retreated victoriously and returned to study again.
A group of kids in the room, ears pricked up, hurriedly asked: "I told you the pencil was in the drawer, you didn’t believe !"
Da Dan looked at this group of foolish humans and made a sound from his nose:
"What do you know? I was telling them not to introduce anyone to my uncle... I an, my uncle."
"Why?"
Little Gu An was puzzled: "Uncle is so nice, surely Aunt will be nice too, what’s wrong with having an aunt?"
Da Dan glanced at him and then at Gu Ping, who was also a bit unconvinced: "You need to educate your brother!"
Gu Ping: ... Lost again! Little brother still knows too little.
Daya didn’t ask such questions!
Little Xuan, the teacher, calmly analyzed: "I know."
"Because currently, Uncle and Teacher Xiao Chu are good, and willing to give us a salary. But if he marries Aunt, I’ve heard wives run the household, and if she changes her mind and doesn’t want to give us a salary, we’d be working for nothing."
It’s not that these kids are ungrateful.
But for children, just like adults promising that if they finish a task, they’d get a candy. They eagerly do it, but when it’s done, the person changes and doesn’t recognize the candy promised to them...
What child can bear it?!
Not crying imdiately is already enduring.
Daya thought about the sewing machine in the workspace, and then rembered how at ho, within ten miles and eight neighborhoods, getting married with a sewing machine as a dowry could make people boast for three months.
If another aunt cos, can she still use the sewing machine?
She clenched her fist.
She heard Aunt Li’s words just now; it’s because her aunt’s work is too heavy, too hard, that they want uncle to marry a wife to help share the burden...
Daya quietly analyzed the situation and concluded:
"So, we must work diligently, so Aunt doesn’t get tired!"
"And don’t let Uncle get tired, when Uncle returns from training, we have to pour tea and water, Da Dan, Gu Ping, you two are strong, rember to massage Uncle’s back and legs!"
"Gu An, your leg still isn’t healed, but you can’t just sit idly. You need to entertain Uncle, maybe tell him stories!"
"And you, Bao Ni, there aren’t any chickens now, clothes and dishes are also easy to wash, you quickly learn to knit sweaters or make shoes, I can’t do that. Learn now, and when the weather gets cold, you can give them to Uncle and Aunt!"
She was filled with fighting spirit: "Only by doing this can we assure the future aunts that Uncle and Aunt will never be worn out!"
Little Xuan, half an outsider at this point, sat silently on a small stool, feeling that sothing seed off.
He opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, finally just asking: "What about school next sester?"
Da Dan was already clenching his fists: "Isn’t there you? Everyone has to study well at school, and make sure to master what you don’t understand. This way, we won’t have to spend a lot of ti after school on howork or studying."
"With the extra ti, we can help Aunt with chores!"
"In any case, we can’t let Aunt be worn out!"
The children nodded solemnly, Yun Baoni quickly walked out:
"I need to wash those teacups from earlier!"
Soon, Yun Baoni’s gentle voice ca from outside:
"Aunt, do you want so more water?"
Little Xuan sat there blankly, watching everyone return to the table again, unable to resist asking today’s core question:
"But since I ca, your aunt has been sitting there enjoying the breeze, hasn’t done a thing?"
Even Gu Ping couldn’t agree with him this ti.
"What do you know? We kids spend a lot, Uncle’s salary is simply not enough! Aunt has to earn big money, you didn’t see how busy she gets!"
Little Xuan was speechless.
He thought, I’m the one who writes the instructions, how co I didn’t see it?
