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...
Zhou Yu, who was standing by, felt more relaxed when he heard about ginseng.
Zhu Hang's voice came from downstairs. Zhou wanted to go downstairs. There was a backrest chair in the yard. The seat of the chair was indeed wider than the ordinary one.
Zhou Xiang turned the chair over to take a look, put the chair away, picked up a small piece of broken red brick, and drew a long oval in the middle of the chair.
"Dig this place up."
"What's it for?"
"It's for my second sister to use the toilet. I forgot about it before. My second sister suffered a lot when she went to the toilet."
Zhu Hang imagined it, then excitedly found the tools and started digging!
After chiseling a circle along the oval shape, the oval wooden board in the middle of the chair seat fell off.
"Grind it smooth."
"good!"
There are both coarse and fine sandpapers. All these tools are leftovers from previous building construction.
After grinding, Zhu Hang tried it with his hands and stopped only when he felt it was quite smooth.
"Get a clean plastic sheet."
After the plastic sheeting was in place, Zhou Xiang wrapped it around the mouth of the oval, then pressed it down on the inside of the oval with thumbtacks. Only after making sure it was firmly fixed did he ask Zhu Hang to carry it upstairs.
Zhu Hang excitedly put the chair on the squat toilet, and the plastic sheet in the middle was placed vertically in the squat toilet to prevent urine from spilling outside the pit.
"Ayu, come and try this potty chair. My sister instructed me to make it."
When Zhou's mother saw him moving a chair directly into the bathroom, she thought it was strange, but when she heard the word "commode chair", she understood.
Just as she was about to help the older girl up, the younger girl exerted some strength and the clumsy older girl stood up.
It seems that having great strength is also good
Zhu Hang came out, held the other side, and after sending his lover in, he came out.
My sister-in-law taught her lover how to use it, and she felt weird inside.
Zhou's mother also went in to learn, as her little girl had so many new and interesting things.
Zhou Yu sat steadily on the chair, a little uncomfortable with going to the toilet like this.
"Don't think of it as a chair. Think of it as a toilet you can sit on. Wooden toilets existed in ancient times. Sitting on them is so convenient! I haven't experienced you going to the toilet before. Otherwise, you and Mom wouldn't have to work so hard."
After the three of them came out, Zhu Hang asked his lover, "How is it? Is it useful?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "That's useful! You don't have to work so hard in the morning."
Her bowel movement every morning takes the longest, and Zhu Hang has to squat in a horse stance and hold her for a long time.
Zhu Hang patted his head and said, "I'm so stupid. I practice horse stance every day, but I never thought of digging a hole in a chair."
Zhou Yu pulled his hand and said, "Don't make yourself more stupid."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the two lively kids helplessly, wondering if they could function normally after the baby was born.
It was time to eat downstairs, so Zhou wanted to ask his mother and brother-in-law to go downstairs to eat. "I'll accompany my second sister. Whoever finishes eating first, bring her meal up to take my place."
When he and his second sister were alone, Zhou Xiang took out another piece of fruit from his backpack.
"Second sister, this is fresh. I brought it back especially for you to eat. It's just this one. It's not appropriate to take it out in front of them. I'll wash it for you."
After washing, she urged her second sister, whose eyes were red, "Eat quickly. The baby in your belly needs nutrition. It will be out in a few days."
Zhou Yu took the fruit and said, "Okay!"
After eating the fruit, Zhou Yu felt relaxed all over his body. He guessed that this fruit was the prototype of the dried fruit. His sister always thought about him, so he should be nice to himself and stop throwing a tantrum.
After Zhou's mother finished eating, she came upstairs with the food. Zhou Xiang looked at his breathless mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I think you've lost weight by going up and down the stairs every day."
Mother Zhou put down the food and took a deep breath. "Losing weight is a fart! I'm tired every day, so I can only eat more. I even gained some weight!"
Zhou Xiang helped his mother sit down, "Mom! Have you ever thought about what to do with my second sister during her confinement? Two babies? My second sister has to stay in confinement, and it's tiring enough for you to take care of her. What about two babies who need to eat and poop?"
"What should we do? Tell me."
"Hire a nanny! Hire two, one to take care of the child and one to run errands for you."
"That's easy for you to say, but where can you ask for help? Do you trust them?"
"An acquaintance! Look for an acquaintance. First of all, I think Aunt Wang is pretty good. She's efficient and knows a lot. She's a bit talkative, but sometimes she can help you out, right?"
Mother Zhou thought about it and nodded, "Yes, it would be appropriate to find Sister Wang."
"Find someone younger to run errands for you, upstairs and downstairs, and ask her to run errands. She can also help with picking vegetables and washing clothes. The younger one will do it all the time. There are too many trivial things at home, so you need a helper. After my second sister's confinement, if Aunt Wang is still willing to work, let her work until the New Year."
"How much do you plan to pay per month?"
"Auntie Wang who comes to take care of the baby is paid 40 yuan a month, and the younger ones are paid 20 yuan a month."
"Is the gap so big?"
"Auntie Wang has skills and specializes in taking care of mothers and babies during the confinement period. Her price is justified."
"I think you have a reason for everything you say. Hurry down and eat, and discuss this with Zhu Hang first."
"Okay! My dear mother!"
In the restaurant, Shu Zhongxiong spoke loudly and pulled Ma Zhao to play rock-paper-scissors. Zhou's father and Doctor Cao drank fruit tea and watched the two of them struggle.
Seeing that his father didn't drink, Zhou Xiang felt strange, "Dad, why don't you take the opportunity to drink tonight?"
Father Zhou shook his head. "I'm not drinking anymore. I'm planning to quit. I have too much to do at home, and drinking will only make things worse."
Zhou Xiang rolled his eyes and approached his father, "Dad, are you planning to quit drinking so that you don't smell like alcohol and you can hold the baby?"
Father Zhou glanced at his little girl and said, "Even if I don't quit drinking, he's my grandson, and I have the right to hold him."
Zhou Xiang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, if they dare not let their grandfather hold them, I will spank them."
"You can't hit anyone! The child is too young to be hit."
"Then when can I beat him?"
"After three years old!"
"Okay, then remember this and make up for it after you turn three."
Father Zhou glared at her. This kid is trying to trick him! "You are not allowed to beat her at any time."
"Okay, you're the grandpa, you have the final say."
After dinner, Zhu Hang was called upstairs by his mother-in-law, and Zhou Xiang was waiting downstairs.
Not long after, Zhu Hang came downstairs with an empty bowl, "Sister, what are the standards for being young?"
"Clean, hygienic, quiet, good-tempered, and no older than 35."
Zhu Hang frowned, "Where can I find this?"
"When you go to invite Aunt Wang, you can ask her! If you are from the countryside, they will provide food and accommodation. If you are from the town, they will provide food. It's from 7 am to 7 pm."
Zhu Hang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and invite Aunt Wang right away." Then he went out.
Zhou Xiang looked at his back and smiled, "I wonder when you will remember the bowl in your hand."
A few minutes later, Zhu Hang ran back quickly, put the bowl in his hand on the dining table, and hurried out again.
Pretending to look straight ahead, pretending not to see the smirk on my sister-in-law's face.
