Second sister carries water every day, wielding the shoulder pole with vigor.
Third sister—Third sister is particularly steady with a knife. When she kills a chicken, she twists its neck, and the knife cos right up!
At that mont, he felt like the big rooster Grandma ntioned, who doesn’t lay eggs but still eats food, and eventually gets eaten!
He sniffled in horror.
Chu River glanced at him sideways, looking sowhat disdainful.
"Besides, do you really live like a golden grandson at ho? Our family might not fuss over who’s the golden grandchild or not, but we had stewed fish for lunch, stewed ribs last night, and wild duck the day before... Can you eat like that at ho? Oh, I bet all the good stuff is hidden away, and maybe your golden grandson status isn’t real, huh?"
Liu Jia Bao is probably well treated at ho too, but in these tis, stockpiling food is a natural instinct. Chu River speculates that what Old Lady Liu has hidden away is more than a little.
...
Thinking of the delicious food made everyone salivate a bit.
Liu Jia Bao’s attention was instantly grabbed—it’s all at!
He was nearly drooling with envy; he really wanted to eat at. His old Liu family was never this extravagant.
Looking at Teacher Xiao Chu’s gaze and the nods from others in agreent, Liu Jia Bao had a small question mark in his mind again—
Yeah, is he really living the life a proper golden grandson should?
After thinking about it, he made a final stubborn attempt to show he was right: "You guys feeding girls this stuff is such a waste."
He slapped his thigh in frustration, mimicking Old Lady Liu’s posture: "Letting them enjoy themselves is a loss!"
"After all, girls can’t pass on the family na for us!"
"No matter how well they eat, they’ll benefit others soday!"
"Why can’t they pass on the family na?"
Daya asked seriously, "Your sister’s last na is Liu, so she’s a Liu family child. A Liu family child having children, those are still Liu family children!"
"Because kids co out of her belly; there’s no mistake."
"But even though your last na is Liu, you can’t have kids coming out of your belly, and you need other girls to help—Liu Jia Bao, you better understand!"
"Your grandma treats you well now, but when you grow up and she finds out you still rely on others to pass on the family na... tsk tsk, you’re done."
Liu Jia Bao: ...
He burst into tears—"I can pass on the family na myself, sob sob sob..."
"Impossible!" Daya interrupted his delusion: "Ever since childhood, it’s girls who have babies. Their bellies swell up— you n don’t even know how. You’re useless."
Liu Jia Bao ran off crying.
...
Daya watched Liu Jia Bao’s crying, running figure, snorted coldly, and walked inside without turning her head.
"I’m going to study hard!"
She declared loudly, "In the future, I’m going to find a good job and earn more than all you boys!"
Chu River imdiately applauded: "Good, Daya has ambition! Rember to buy lots of good food for then! Don’t let starve."
Daya nodded emphatically: "Yeah, I won’t forget, Aunt."
Yun Baoni looked at the two of them, then softly clenched her fist:
"Auntie, once I’m done with my chores at ho tomorrow, I’ll go find Aunt Li and have her find soone to teach how to knit sweaters."
Now she’s gotten quite proficient at the household chores; cleaning up doesn’t take long each day. The weather is hot, and there are many people in the residential area with free ti, making it the perfect ti for her to learn.
But because she is timid and shy, even after deciding, she hasn’t taken that step.
Now... no more delays!
Chu River nodded: "Good, go learn. Rember to knit a floral sweater when you’re done."
The current clothes are all drab and unappealing.
Yun Baoni thought: It depends on whether there is colored yarn, but she nodded obediently.
Da Dan and Gu Ping exchanged a glance and said nothing, but they were secretly on alert—they shouldn’t say anything about girls anymore. anwhile, Gu An, with one leg still up, childishly asked, "What does it an to pass on the family na?"
Little Xuan nodded sagely: "It ans having another boy."
"Then I don’t want it."
Gu An shook his head: "It’s hard to raise kids. My dad disappeared halfway while raising , and they all said he didn’t an it. My mom left us too... What if I accidentally disappear in the future when I have a child? I don’t want him to have a broken leg and go hungry."
He was speaking from the life he experienced.
Gu Ping was the first to support his younger brother: "Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future, and we’ll raise our families together."
Chu River also offered advice: "Then it’s best to have a boy and a girl. The boy can do chores and cook, the girl can help make clothes and do laundry for ..."
