"Actually, we were hasty before, and we all did it wrong without discussing it. But I’m here today, Chu River, to give us a chance to make ands, and on the other hand, because the kids really like you and can’t bear to miss such a good teacher like you."
Chu River was quite pleased: "Not bad, not bad..."
"You see, the children from our unit were delayed for half a year under Teacher Xiao Zhou. The older kids will be starting elentary school in the city next term. Without a good teacher, they’ll definitely be ridiculed in elentary school."
Sister-in-law Li spoke sincerely.
Chu River also sighed: "Isn’t that true, teaching kids indeed depends on fate. You see, I’m quite good at this. The kids at ho are sensible..."
As she boasted, Sister-in-law Li kept nodding—
Indeed, the ntal outlook of these kids is different from other children.
However, Chu River flipped her tone: "But I’m just a bit skilled at teaching my own kids, not necessarily others’, so maybe we should just forget it."
She just pondered for a mont, playing gas with children is certainly fun, but lying at ho is equally enjoyable.
Later on, I have to make the car, working overti at night is too exhausting.
Sister-in-law Li gritted her teeth: "Xiao Chu, let be frank, this ti inviting you to be the teacher was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, directly making you permanent, with a monthly salary of 30 bucks!"
Chu River: ...
Now you’ve put in a position where I can’t refuse.
Playing around and earning 30 bucks, isn’t that like money falling from the sky? Both fun and profitable.
She thought modestly: "Then I’ll ask the kids."
Playing gas is fun, but teaching knowledge is a bit challenging, not sure if Little Xuan can help her write a lesson plan or sothing.
Sister-in-law Li’s heart settled: "Alright, I’ll wait for your reply! If it works out, we’ll do the paperwork and start classes tomorrow! This ti I assure you, even if the mayor’s wife cos to ask for this position, we won’t give it to her, absolutely no repeat of what happened before!"
...
As soon as Sister-in-law Li left, Chu River sat down again, leisurely enjoying the cool breeze, while casually asking:
"30 bucks a month, do you think I should take it?"
Da Dan, who wouldn’t miss a penny nowadays, naturally responded, "Do it!"
The little kids thought about it and agreed that she must do it too.
Ah, being an adult is great, with such a high salary.
bucks is enough for them to save for half a year.
Chu River nodded: "But if I do that, coming back at night to work overti on the car, won’t it be too tiring for ?"
Daya quickly said: "It does make aunt work hard, we can handle the miscellaneous tasks, the most important work is still for aunt. Da Dan, aunt’s als at work have to be better each day, otherwise, her body won’t hold up."
The sensible Little Xuan: ???
What nonsense are you all talking?
When aunt is teaching, only I go to school, is her work as a teacher really that tiring? Is it really exhausting?
And working overti on the car—parts are carpentered, everyone is learning how to paint, and assembling is even less of an issue, everyone knows how to do it...
In essence, only when adding the tal plates is when Teacher Xiao Chu steps in—after all, she’s strong, only she can fit them perfectly together.
But for a batch of cars, you just do it once, right?
Where exactly is it tiring?
He wanted to argue, but seeing everyone’s "that’s just the way it is" attitude, and thinking about the als at the Shi Family every day...
Little Xuan smartly learned to stay silent.
...
"By the way, Da Dan, why did you call Liu Jia Bao here?"
Gu Ping couldn’t understand: "He’s dirty, not smart enough, and there’s no shortage of workers at ho, so there’s no need."
"What do you know?"
Da Dan replied with a profound expression: "Liu Jia Bao is great at arguing! Can you roll on the ground? Can you have snot and tears all over yourself? Can you stay unwashed after peeing on yourself?"
Gu Ping: ...
He really couldn’t.
Back in the hotown, he hated those people so much that he wanted to leap at them and bite off their flesh, but throwing tantrums... he had never even thought of it.
Da Dan continued: "Our aunt is kind-hearted, uncle doesn’t really fight for his own interests, surely they’ll suffer losses in life!"
"Having Liu Jia Bao... no, with his grandma around, who can take advantage of our family?"
"Just for that, it’s worth it!"
"Exactly!" said Daya, knowing that in the village, those who talk reason too often are more prone to being bullied, sotis you have to be unreasonable to live well and take advantage.
"If he’s dirty, let him wash up, if he’s not smart, let him learn slowly... it’s us who need to take the college entrance exam, not him."
But it is a bit hard on Little Xuan.
But thinking of an egg a day... Little Xuan didn’t find it hard anymore.
He and grandpa have als in the cafeteria every day, their food tickets are almost used up each month, they eat well at Teacher Xiao Chu’s, he doesn’t need this egg, but he can use it to nourish grandpa.
Grandpa’s health hasn’t been great since those years in the cowshed!
As for whether grandpa would notice or not... he joked, his grandpa couldn’t even figure out what he was eating every day, he only knew his research, he wouldn’t be suspicious of an extra egg.
And after hearing their discussion, Chu River seized the mont: "Little Xuan, anyway, you’re teaching Liu Jia Bao, why not make a lesson plan or sothing for ?"
"After all, I only know how to play gas, teaching so cultural courses is truly a bit difficult."
She said it so righteously that Little Xuan couldn’t refuse for a mont.
...
In no ti, Liu Jia Bao ran over with a panting run, holding an egg.
Well, with the newly changed clothes, he was drenched in sweaty stink again.
Da Dan said sternly: "Next ti, you have to take a bath, clean yourself up before coming over, otherwise you’re not fitting in!"
Liu Jia Bao: ...
Alright.
As they were about to start class, Chu River, whose teacup was running dry, shouted:
"Daya, co pour another cup of water!"
Before Daya could move, Yun Bao Ni responded briskly and quickly rushed over:
"Aunt, it’s hot, we have a few mint plants growing by the wall, I’ll make mint water for you."
After thinking about it, she added: "With an ice sugar piece."
What a great idea!
This would be perfect with a plate of sunflower seeds, how wonderful.
Chu River looked at her appreciatively:
"Bao Ni, you’ve really changed now. Not bad, not bad."
Yun Bao Ni was overjoyed, heading out with a cup to pick mint leaves.
But Liu Jia Bao, being new to this, observed the scene, doubted Da Dan’s claim that Teacher Xiao Chu was being bullied—it didn’t seem quite right.
But where exactly was the issue?
He couldn’t figure it out.
Instead, when Yun Bao Ni returned to the room, he also called out:
"I’m thirsty too."
Da Dan looked up at him:
"Go fetch so from the pump well at the door yourself."
The boys all drink directly from the pump well, as long as their lips don’t touch it, it’s fine.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jia Bao protested:
"Why doesn’t anyone put mint and ice sugar for ? Bao Ni, you have to pour water too."
What?!
Everyone’s eyes widened!
Putting ice sugar too? Do you know how expensive sugar is? This is high-priced sugar!
Liu Jia Bao sat on the ground: "I don’t care, I want to drink it too! If the girl doesn’t pour tea, I’ll let Teacher Xiao Chu hit you!"
Oh my!
Even Da Dan couldn’t hold back, grabbing Liu Jia Bao by the collar and dragging him to the door.
"Aunt, he looks down on girls, insulted Bao Ni, and wants to drink your mint ice sugar!"
Chu He: ...!!!
She stared at Liu Jia Bao: "What do you an?"
"Did Da Dan tell you? No food and lodging, do you know what that ans? You can drink, but don’t think about my stuff!"
"And why should Bao Ni work for you? Are you paying a salary?"
Liu Jia Bao also felt wronged: "My grandma said that girls are worthless, only those like who can carry on the family line are most important. Girls should work more!"
At ho, he was looked after by three sisters, whenever he was thirsty, he had to have water imdiately, otherwise, his grandma would definitely scold his sister.
Why is it different here?
