Shi Suifeng really doesn’t know how to evaluate Chu River’s "having everything under control."
At this mont, Yun Baoni ca out from the backyard and said to Chu River, "Auntie, we have a big family, but only one dry toilet. If Uncle has ti, could he build another one?"
Shi Suifeng imdiately stood up, "Alright."
Toilets these days are simple; in the countryside, almost every household just has a big vat with two wooden planks on top, and that’s it.
But Chu Fa Da is more particular about it, using properly cented bricks, making it cleaner and more convenient—
Honestly, when she was still in the village, every ti she stepped on it, she was trembling with fear.
Back then, when people said falling into the cesspit, they really ant falling into the cesspit—a vat with at least a one-ter diater! Once it’s full, you can use it to fertilize the fields. You must not waste it.
Unlike the toilets that ca later, you couldn’t squeeze into them even if you wanted to.
Shi Suifeng now needs to build just this kind.
But it’s not that difficult; most of the n nowadays can do it.
anwhile, Yun Baoni helped find the tools and glanced at Chu River with a complicated expression, whispering:
"Auntie, when we reached ho, we all knew how to wipe our own butts."
She hadn’t forgotten that it was Uncle who brought them out, and she couldn’t let Uncle misunderstand that they couldn’t manage at ho!
Chu River: ...
Shi Suifeng: ... Ahem.
He put a hand to his lips and feigned a cough, barely holding back his laughter.
Then he patted Yun Baoni’s head: "I know."
Trying to add a few more words to not appear too perfunctory, but no matter how he thought, nothing seed appropriate, so he simply said nothing.
Yun Baoni blushed.
She was already a big girl of 14.
Sigh, honestly... It wasn’t the first ti Auntie was spouting nonsense, so why couldn’t she hold back this ti?
Could this be the dignity of a big girl?
She felt ashad of her sensitive girlish heart.
...
At this ti, Da Dan had already returned pushing a bicycle:
"Aunt, the villagers here grow quite a lot of stuff. If we had known, we would’ve moved here a couple of years earlier."
The basket at the back of the bicycle was filled with items, enough for eating and drinking tonight.
Da Dan still felt regretful ntioning this matter.
Because every household here seed to have accumulated many eggs, definitely not the kind where each ho kept count of chickens!
This proved that the policies here were much more lenient.
Unlike their place in Ning City, where every household had to keep count...
Chu River didn’t think moving earlier had any advantage and had sothing to say:
"You see, I’ve said it before that you should listen to —we have seven chicken quotas, slaughtering them as soon as one batch arrives, the cellar can be filled, yet you insisted not to. Insisting on raising them from young, just for those few eggs, not even enough for our family..."
Da Dan: ...
Can living in the military district’s family courts be the sa as here in the township?
His aunt was really decadent, wasn’t it? Which poor farr these days eats as well as they do.
However, he smartly remained silent.
After thinking, seeing no one in the yard, he quickly approached:
"Aunt, Uncle is back. Shouldn’t he check your learning progress? You haven’t even flipped through your books these years; are you okay!"
Chu River squinted with pride.
She thought to herself: Who is Chu Fa Da, her mory isn’t just casually regained!
Seeing Shi Suifeng return, the exams approaching, her mory restored, and knowledge also returning!
Who’s afraid of exams, re 1977 college entrance exams, could it be difficult for her?
She looked at Da Dan, her eyes brimming with pride.
At this mont, in a Versailles-like manner asked: "Da Dan, what do you think of a genius like , should I go to He’an University or White Bird University?"
"So hard to choose!"
Da Dan: ...
It’s not that he looks down on his aunt, but the fact was, his aunt hadn’t looked at a textbook for years and is now considering this?
Forget it, he’d better let Uncle inquire about how many years high school seniors can retake here!
Sigh, thinking about this, he couldn’t help but worry a bit—
Although still keeping up with learning, next year would be senior year, who knows when the college entrance exams would be reinstated.
But Da Dan, being born in hardship but since life was decent now, could only sigh—
"Forget it, doesn’t matter what year the college entrance exams are, as long as I earn two or three hundred bucks a month now, that’s enough to eat and drink."
Shi Suifeng, changing tools in the front yard: ...
It hit him hard, hit him hard.
——This family is full of overt and covert confrontations, every move aid right at his heart. Hard to imagine what madness he had back then, raising all these children.
...
Everyone had their own thoughts. Just then, a villager pushed a wheelbarrow over.
