"Auntie, there are four days off each month, but those who haven't been scheduled can have their days postponed," Wanxia reminded her without looking up from her chopping vegetables.

She talked a lot more at her aunt's house because she knew that her aunt would not scold her harshly, nor would she hit her for no reason or out of a bad mood.

If you point it out like this, her mother would either say to her, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute," or she would get angry and beat and scold her. After a few times, she realized that pointing it out was useless, and it was better not to speak.

But the aunt was different. When she pointed out their mistakes, she wouldn't scold them. Instead, she would encourage them to use their brains and think of solutions, saying that if they encountered similar situations in the future, they would know how to handle them properly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shui Qing looked at Wan Xia and praised her, "Yes, Wan Xia is very thoughtful. Then let's postpone it."

He then looked at Yan Qiu and Xing Hui and casually asked, "Do you have any suggestions or ideas regarding personnel arrangements?"

These are not big issues. Precisely because they are not big issues, the children can be involved. When the time comes, we can follow their suggestions if they are reasonable and feasible, which will increase the children's enthusiasm.

Ultimately, they will have to walk their own path in the future. Capable people can thrive anywhere, so accumulating experience is very important.

Where does experience come from? It comes from all sorts of things in life. If you can't handle small, unimportant things, how can you expect to be able to handle big, important things? That's nothing short of a fantasy.

She had never been a mother and didn't know how to get along with children, but she could learn and try to make her children more confident, lively, cheerful, and capable.

Yan Qiuxing began to ponder.

After a short while, Yan Qiu spoke up: "Mother, there are only three people cutting the medicinal herbs, but each group has five people washing them. I was wondering if the women cutting the herbs could be exempted from participating?"

She found that chopping vegetables wasn't tiring; it could be done indoors, without being exposed to the wind and sun, and it wasn't dirty. However, it was a bit time-consuming, and you had to concentrate to get it right, otherwise the pieces would be uneven and the appearance wouldn't be good.

There are many people cooking, and it only happens once every ten days or half a month. It doesn't matter if people in special positions don't participate, like the five people in charge of steaming and boiling, such as Da Ni, Er Ni, and their mother, who weren't included.

Xinghui and Wanxia looked at their eldest sister with admiration. "Eldest sister is so amazing! She came up with a suggestion as soon as Mother asked her."

Shui Qing, who was cooking, was very satisfied.

It's always a pleasure to see children using their brains and actively coming up with solutions. She nodded in approval: "Okay, very good. I'll announce this rule at lunchtime."

Yan Qiu smiled gently and continued chopping vegetables.

Xinghui and Wanxia wore expressions of pride and joy, as if their mother was praising them.

The four of them worked together seamlessly, and soon the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

The people who build the factory don't need to be provided with meals because they are just employees.

With over thirty people working in the workshop and more than ten people in their own family, cooking for forty or fifty people is no easy task.

Fortunately, this is not a banquet in China. There is no need for a dozen or twenty dishes, or even eight or ten dishes. Two dishes with a pot of soup are enough!

If people are not picky or fussy, and they can be fed and have enough to eat, then that's a very good thing.

Shuiqing thought that everyone was doing hard work and couldn't eat too badly, otherwise how would they have the strength to work?

Moreover, these days my family doesn't cook lunch separately anymore; we eat with the women working in the workshop. Everyone has a lot of work to do, so the food can't be too bad.
