During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
When Mrs. Guo entered the house, she took out the eggs from her arms, put them in a bowl, and then put them in the cupboard.
"How about some noodles for dinner?" Mrs. Guo asked. "I also bought some bean sprouts. Let's stir-fry them."
"Okay, very good!" Old man Guo is easy to feed. He can eat anything and is not picky about anything.
Old Mrs. Guo went into the house, changed her clothes, put on an apron, and started kneading the dough and rolling the noodles.
She was quick and nimble and quickly prepared dinner. The family sat around the table on the kang and quickly finished off the noodles and stir-fried bean sprouts.
After dinner, before Mrs. Guo cleared the table, Guo Shijie suddenly took out a small string of copper coins from his pocket.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is what I earned today."
This small string of copper coins looks like it is worth twelve or thirteen cents at most.
But Guo Shijie has difficulty walking, so how does he make money?
"Son, you don't have to worry about the family. Now your father and I can make money, so you just stay at home and take care of it."
"Mom, it's not a big deal." Guo Shijie smiled slightly and said, "I just wrote two letters for someone."
"You're writing letters for others? Where are they from?" Mrs. Guo was a little surprised.
"My two children go out to help me attract business. I don't have to take care of anything. I just stay at home and help people write letters."
"This is a good job." Old Mrs. Guo hadn't seen a smile on her son's face for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel happy for him.
"I'll see if I can get some copying work later. That way I can earn a little more."
Hearing this, Old Man Guo quickly said, "Just help people write letters occasionally. Copying books is too hard work. Don't tire yourself out."
"Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Guo Shijie said, "Copying books for them can also teach them to recognize a few more words!"
"That's right, you just need to keep it in mind, but don't overwork yourself. Dad and Mom are not old yet, they can still work for many more years!"
As Mrs. Guo was clearing the table and listening to the conversation between the father and son, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.
Although life is hard nowadays, it is good enough as long as the whole family is together and working towards a better life.
The Guo family had finished their meal, and the private school in Rongxi Village had just finished classes.
Ye Laoer was getting a little impatient waiting outside the door when he saw the children rushing out of the private school like a swarm of bees.
"father!"
"Second Uncle!"
The Ye family children soon noticed Ye Lao Er, who was half a head taller than the people around him. They ran over and surrounded him while shouting for help.
"What's going on with you guys today? Why are you out of class so late? Your family must be getting anxious waiting for you."
"Someone lost something today, so the gentleman kept everyone here and only let us out after the item was found."
"What was lost that caused such a big fuss?"
"Who knows? They just said it was a purse, but they didn't tell me what was inside.
"At first he started to make a big fuss about losing it, but he wouldn't say when or where he lost it.
"Then the teacher started looking through the school bags one by one.
"The final discovery was also inexplicable. They suddenly said they had found it and told us we could all leave."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Er asked, "Have all your schoolbags been turned over?"
"That's not the case." Ye Changrui said, "They said they found it before they even looked it up."
Ye Lao Er was unusually perceptive enough to grasp the key to this sentence and asked, "Did you turn over yours too?"
Before Ye Changrui could answer, Ye Changxue rushed in and said, "Teacher, you won't overturn Big Brother's works. Big Brother is now your most favored student."
"So powerful?" Ye Lao Er looked down at his eldest son.
"Of course not, big brother is so awesome." The other three children also echoed in unison.
Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked home. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Mrs. Ye waiting at the gate with a strainer in her hand.
"Oh my god, you're finally back!" Mrs. Ye said after seeing the others. "If you hadn't come back, I would have thought you were carried off by wolves!"
"It's not their fault that the private school ends too late." Ye Laoer quickly explained to the children.
"Luckily we're having dumplings today. We can cook as much as you want. Otherwise, all the delicious food would be cold by the time you get back."
"Are we having dumplings today?" Ye Changrui became even happier when he heard this. He loved eating dumplings the most.
Ye Changxue's face fell instantly, and the straps of his schoolbag drooped from his shoulders.
"During Chinese New Year, we ate dumplings every other day. Spring has finally arrived, why are we still eating dumplings?"
Ye Changnian asked anxiously, "Auntie, what's the filling in these dumplings? Are they meat-filled?"
Mrs. Ye pinched Ye Changnian's little face and said, "Of course it's meat-filled. It's what you all like. Mother-in-law and pork dumplings. Are you happy?"
"Really, that's great!" Ye Changnian ran home as fast as he could. He wanted to go into the house quickly to put down his schoolbag, then wash his hands as quickly as possible and eat dumplings.
The other children in the family also like to eat dumplings filled with motherwort, especially during the spring every year, when the tender motherwort dug from the mountains are the most delicious and tasty. You can't eat them at other times even if you pay for them.
So even Ye Changxue, who had just complained about why he had to eat dumplings again, now rushed home like the other children.
"Slow down, don't be in a hurry. I just made the dumplings and they are not cooked yet!" Mrs. Ye shouted after her, but no one heard her.
"Let them go to the table and wait, it's the same." Ye Laoer said with a smile.
