In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Guo Xuehua agreed. She knew that Zhou was not being polite, but really wanted the three children to come over for dinner.
Zhou Xiang looked at the anxious Xu Tong couple again, "Brother Xu and Sister Xu, you and Sister Guo should take turns working. You don't have to come here so early. Take turns! One shift in the morning and evening, and one shift at noon.
If you have guests at home, you can work together. Next year, I will move to the top floor of the building in the north end, and you two will follow us there to work. So, don't worry about losing your job. There is no such thing as unemployment here, unless you quit your job."
Xu Tong and his wife were relieved. "Okay, okay, we will do this until we are old."
"That's good! As long as you can keep doing this for a long time, that's great. Sister Guo, the same goes for you. My parents are getting old and can't keep up with the housework anymore. They definitely need help. No matter what your children choose in the future, if you can keep doing this for a long time, you won't have to worry about your retirement."
Guo Xuehua immediately stood up and bowed to Zhou Xiang, "Thank you, Miss Zhou. I will work hard."
"Why did you call last week's girl?"
"That's how you should yell! You didn't develop your career before, but now you're the boss of so many people. I can't ruin discipline."
"Okay! Then go ahead and say it! Work hard, and after three years, I'll start buying social insurance for you. After 15 years, when you reach retirement age, you can all go to the Social Security Bureau to apply for retirement and receive your pension. This is what I meant when I said you'll have no worries about retirement."
Not only Xu Tong and his wife and Guo Xuehua were excited, but Xia Fei and Tian Cheng were also excited. They had not expected that their household registration could be transferred and that they would be able to buy pension insurance in the future.
Zhou Kai shamelessly asked, "Cousin, in three years, will you also buy me insurance?"
"That depends on your plans. What if you feel your magical skills have reached perfection and you want to go solo?"
Zhou Kai thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll ask you again in three years."
"Okay!"
Guo Xuehua and the eldest daughter carried steamed buns, porridge, and salted eggs to the front yard. It was not until they reached the park that the eldest daughter came to her senses, "Mom, Mom, you're right, Zhou Xiang is different."
"Didn't you hear me calling her Miss Zhou? She has a lot of employees under her now, so we have to be polite."
"Yes! I understand and I feel relieved. We finally have a way to survive after escaping from that home. Mom, I need to work. After the summer vacation, you can go to school with my elder and second sisters!"
If they study, they might catch Miss Zhou's eye. In fact, when I saw Miss Zhou's expression just now, I really wanted to work alongside her. Unfortunately, I can't read, so she probably doesn't need someone like me."
Guo Xuehua really couldn't believe that his eldest daughter could speak for such a long time. She was usually as taciturn as a person and only liked to talk when she was outside the Zhu family. But this time, she could actually speak for such a long time.
"Big girl, if you really want to stay with her, there's only one way, and that's to learn cooking. She loves home cooking the most. If you can cook home cooking to perfection, even if you only know one or two, you can stay with her."
The eldest girl's eyes lit up, "Really? Then I will learn cooking from you."
"Yeah! Watch more often and wait until the ingredients are almost ready before starting, so as not to waste the ingredients."
“I understand!”
As soon as the mother and daughter reached the door, they heard crying from inside the house. They quickly opened the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Mom, my little sister is hungry and has nothing to eat."
"Here it is. Come on, you two are hungry too, right? Wash your hands and eat quickly."
Guo Xuehua quickly placed the steamed bun bowl on the table, tore off a small piece and stuffed it into the hands of the little girl who was sobbing with her eyes closed.
The skinny little two-year-old baby would put food directly into his mouth when he got it in his hand, and would stop crying when he got the food.
Guo Xuehua picked her up and sat her up straight, "Eat slowly, there's a lot."
The second and third girls also saw the dozen or so steamed buns in the basin, their eyes sparkling, "Mom, is this our meal for today?"
Guo Xuehua's eyes became moist again. The family that took in the two girls also had children of their own. They just wanted a slave to do the work. When she and the people from the Women's Federation found the two girls, their situations were similar. They were all young and had to cook and feed pigs. They only got three steamed buns a day to eat, which they had to survive with cold water day after day.
"No, this is breakfast. After breakfast, I'll make clothes for you. Big girl, go to the first canteen on the east side of this row of houses to boil some water. It's the one Aunt Xu took you to yesterday. Wash the clothes for my sisters. Then we'll go to Zhou's house for lunch together."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
The eldest girl went out with the bucket. When the second and third girls heard that they were given so many white flour buns, porridge and salted eggs for breakfast, they were at a loss. "Mom, will you beat me if we eat it?"
Guo Xuehua squatted in front of her two daughters, tears streaming down her face, and shook her head, saying, "No, you won't be beaten again. If anyone dares to hit you again, just tell me and I'll fight them to the death."
The second and third girls laughed, "Don't fight so hard, we want our real mother."
Guo Xuehua picked up the steamed buns and stuffed them into their hands, "Eat! Mom won't fight to the death until the very end. Mom still has to protect you."
The eldest girl drew half a bucket of water from the well next to the slaughterhouse and carried it to the canteen. The doors of the canteen were ajar. She cleaned the stove and pots, poured the water in, and went to fetch more water. She met Zhou Kai, whom Aunt Xu had told her to avoid.
Zhou Kai's rings were under a big tree not far from the well in the processing room. He planned to practice on the rings and then go back to take a shower.
Seeing the black bamboo pole carrying half a bucket of water and still shaking, he kindly wanted to help, but the black bamboo pole didn't want his help.
After pulling and pushing, half a bucket of water was poured onto Black Bamboo Pole. Black Bamboo Pole glared at him fiercely with red eyes, then turned around to fetch more water.
"Hey! Aren't you going back to change your clothes?"
Hei Zhugan ignored him and went to fetch water again with his whole body dripping.
"Hey! Are you mute?" I met this black bamboo pole at home in the morning, but I didn't hear her say a word.
Black Bamboo Pole turned a deaf ear to him. Zhou Kai was unhappy and chased after him and pushed Black Bamboo Pole, "Hey! Are you mute?"
Then, Hei Zhugan fell down and hit her head on the edge of the well. Blood slowly flowed out of her head, staining the wet mud beside the well red.
"Xia Fei, Tian Cheng!"
Zhou Kai was so scared that he ran back quickly. Xia Fei and Tian Cheng were still digesting their food slowly. Sister Guo's cooking skills were good. The simple porridge and steamed buns were different from usual ones.
"Xia Fei, Tian Cheng, hurry up, the black bamboo pole has fallen."
"If the bamboo pole falls, just pick it up."
"No, no, that black bamboo pole, that skinny girl who appeared at home this morning, was bleeding. I just pushed her gently and she fell down."
Xia Fei and Tian Cheng felt their heads buzzing. Were they also going to be scolded by the big devil?
"Quick, where is it? Take us there."
"By the well."
As soon as Zhou Kai finished speaking, Xia Fei and Tian Chengji disappeared. Oh my god, these two must have hidden themselves when they were practicing together. No, I shouldn’t think about this now. He also hurried to the well.
Xia Fei picked up the man lying on the ground and said, "Tian Cheng, call the boss and I'll send him to Doctor Cao."
"good."
