Holding a Space in the 60s: A Nest of Seven Babies, Five Soldiers

Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.

Chapter 404 This pile of clothes, ten cents

Jiu Tiao, who was dizzy from being kissed, touched her face, bit her hand and twisted it, feeling a little shy.

"Oh oh~" The little lion is a quick learner. When he saw his little deer sister Bobo sitting behind her with food and toys in her arms, he pouts and tries to get closer with his upper body.

When Jiu Tiao saw this, he immediately felt embarrassed to take back the delicious food and fun things. After covering the jar and knocking it tightly, he waved his paw and said with a sad face, "Get a broom, get a broom~"

"Brother Jiu Tiao, you are such a nice boy..." Xiaolu showed a sweet smile, put things into his pocket, and kissed his brother again from a distance.

"Ahhh okay~" The little lion picked up a fat peanut and knew it was food. After failing to open it for a long time, he put it under his butt to sit on.

After sitting for a long time, I forgot about it and grabbed the rattle and looked at other things...

"I'm going to drink some water, I'll be back soon~" Over there, the eight little kids playing in the yard felt thirsty, so they said this to their older brothers and sisters and went into the house to get some water to drink.

After being pulled into the arms of his grandparents and given a handful of water, Ba Tiao found his own cup, drank a large sip, wiped his mouth, and took a handful of melon seeds from the table with a smile.

Huh?

Ba Tiao, who was happily spitting out melon seed shells, suddenly saw a big fat peanut lying on the ground with a little red skin showing. His eyes lit up and he immediately took a big step and picked up the big peanut.

Who throws away such a treasure? If no one wants it, then it's all his. Ba Tiao glanced at the adults chatting happily and decided that no one wanted the broken peanut. He happily peeled the peanut and stuffed the shell into his mouth.

"Oh~" The little lion sitting on the ground with no sense of presence raised his head and blinked. His fat flower... was gone...

"Let's make the sausages that Dad brought for lunch today..." After chatting for a while, Cheng Zhenzhu went to prepare the food. Zhao Fangrui and Wang Xiaomei got up and went to help. Then they turned around and asked their men to change their coats and take a shower.

Cheng Zhenyu smelled a strange odor on her body and called Zhao Jiawang to keep an eye on his son. She hurried ahead of her father and brother to scoop up half a bucket of hot water and take a bath. After the bath, Cheng Zhenyu changed all her clothes, wiped her precious little lion, and changed her clothes inside and out.

Zhao Jiawang looked at the pile of clothes and felt a sharp pain in his head. He whispered to Cheng Zhenyu, "Wife, there's no need to change Little Lion's clothes every day. Washing and changing clothes every day will only make his immunity worse."

"What kind of twisted logic is that? How can it be unnecessary? Your son isn't as sloppy as you. Our little lion loves cleanliness, right?" Cheng Zhenyu looked at her sweet-smelling son, glanced at Zhao Jiawang, and called her three daughters over. She asked who wanted to do laundry.

Dani and Erni pursed their lips, a little hesitant. They were waiting for their mother's next words.

Who wants to do laundry? Sanni rolled her eyes silently. Her mother was a bit funny. Of course, pocket money was another matter...

"This pile of clothes, ten cents." Cheng Zhenyu glanced at her daughters and pointed at the clothes. She certainly wasn't letting them work for nothing. If they did, they'd get something in return. If they didn't, forget it. She'd find another way to earn some pocket money.

A dime! All three girls were a bit shocked. Sanni, in particular, stretched her neck out. It was strange. Her mother was being so generous today. Before, she'd only given a few cents, which she'd barely noticed. But this time, a dime?

Ten cents can buy a lot of food, and even a few big flower heads. "I'll wash it, I'll wash it!" Sanni realized it was a large sum and immediately offered to do the job.

Dani and Erni raised their hands one after another. They wanted to wash, too. They wanted to earn some pocket money. Their mother was more of a stickler now. She wouldn't find excuses to take the money she gave them back, so they could spend it as they pleased.

Humph, it really is true that money makes things easier! The little ones were refusing to say anything at first, so now they have it under their control. Cheng Zhenyu looked at her three daughters who were all about to wash their clothes, and her gaze paused for a moment, "Then let Dani wash them. Wash them cleanly."

"Okay!" Da Ni, who was assigned to the job, was instantly delighted, her voice tinged with excitement. Ten cents was a lot of money for her.

Erni saw her mother mention her sister's name and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. She could wash it clean too...

After hearing this, Sanni was very dissatisfied. "Why? I washed it clean too!"

"Yeah. Sanni also washed it clean." Zhao Jiawang nodded and said with a smile, "Dad will change his clothes later, and Sanni will help him wash them. Dad will see who washed it cleanest, Dani or Sanni..."

"Give me a dime too?" Sanni turned and asked her father.

Zhao Jiawang met his daughter's eyes and scratched his chin awkwardly for a moment, "Sanni, Daddy doesn't have enough clothes, can you give me a penny?" His money is all managed by his wife, and his pocket money is very limited. He has to scrape together a penny.

To be honest, he felt that his wife was a little abnormal today. He didn't know what stimulated her to suddenly raise the price. In fact, this was not the way they used to do it. Usually, when they called Ju Ni, Da Ni and Er Ni would take the clothes to wash.

Then, during the summer vacation, his wife heard from her mother-in-law that Sanni had learned to wash clothes at her second aunt's place, so she started giving her pocket money for doing work. According to his wife, since Da Ni and Er Ni were not good at working, Sanni could work at Sanshi Island, so she could also work at home.

At first, when he saw Sanni actively working at home, he was quite pleased as a father, feeling that his daughter had grown up and become sensible. But in the end, he, a poor man, began to feel overwhelmed...

Because Sanni would only work for money and would not be happy if she was not paid, Da Ni and Er Ni were also gradually led astray.

He didn't have much money to begin with, and sometimes he even bought things on credit with his girlfriends. Now his wife was asking for such a high sum of money, what was he supposed to do?

"No." Sanni refused immediately. She didn't care about a penny. She had more than a dollar now, spending and saving. Her father was really stingy!

Zhao Jiawang pursed his lips after being rejected. He knew this would happen...

"Dad, I'll do it!" Erni thought for a moment, then raised her hand expectantly. Every penny was still money, and she didn't think it was too little.

"Hey! Good girl! Daddy's clothes will be handed over to our Erni!" Zhao Jiawang was very happy to see that his second daughter didn't mind the small amount of money. He said that the price of ten cents was too high...

He had to talk to Zhenyu in the evening and tell her that there was no need to give so much money to the girls. If the girls were more diligent, his monthly pocket money would not be enough to catch up with theirs.
