Lu Zhixia said, "Let's go after we finish making the dumplings!"
Gu Huailin sat back down and continued making dumplings.
"Mom, how do I look at how well I made these dumplings?"
Lu Zhixia picked up the dumplings and looked at them. "You still need to practice your skills. In two months, our family will start a dumpling shop. When you're on vacation, you can work for me, and I'll pay you!"
Zhou Yong immediately became interested when he heard about money. "Aunt Xia, is what you're saying true? We get paid for the work?"
Su Lan couldn't help but pat his shoulder when she saw his money-grubbing son.
"You're obsessed with money! You'll do it even if you don't get paid!"
Zhou Yong said, "Mom, you can't say that. If my younger brother and sister and I earn money, we can use it to pay for tuition and buy snacks, so you won't have to spend money!"
Looking at her sensible son, Su Lan felt very gratified. "I know you want to ease our burden. Your father and I will take care of earning money for the family."
Lu Zhixia said, "Sister Lan, I wasn't joking just now. This is what I was thinking: if they finish their homework during the holidays, they can come and work. We can't let the kids work for free. The money they earn will be their private savings. They can do whatever they want with it, as long as they don't squander it!"
Zhou Yong: "Mom, I think Aunt Xia is right. It doesn't conflict with us making money!"
Su Lan thought for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.
"Then we'll pay for it."
Lu Zhixia quickly interrupted, "This money should come from the profits, how can we let you pay for it separately?"
Su Lan said, "But if you calculate it carefully, it will cost quite a bit of money, then you'll be at a disadvantage!"
Lu Zhixia smiled, "Being with your own people is a blessing. It doesn't matter if you earn a little more or a little less, the important thing is that everyone is happy! If you raise your children well when they are young, they will succeed no matter what they do when they grow up!"
Su Lan thought that made a lot of sense. "Alright! I agree with what you said!"
Gu Huailin raised his hand, "Can I also work and earn money during winter break?"
Lu Zhixia stroked her son's head. "Of course you can, if you want to."
Gu Huailin stood up excitedly and clapped his hands, "Great! I can make money now!"
Gu Lingxiao walked over and saw this scene. "What happened? Why are you so happy?"
When Lu Zhixia saw Gu Lingxiao arrive, she quickly said to Su Lan, "I need to discuss something with him. You can cook the dumplings!"
Su Lan said, "Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. Come out for dumplings in a bit!"
Lu Zhixia then said to Gu Huailin, "Listen to Aunt Lan."
Gu Huailin obediently nodded in agreement, then watched his parents go back into the house.
Su Lan smiled like an aunt, and then said to Gu Huailin, "Your father and mother are getting married soon!"
Gu Huailin was extremely excited, "Really?"
Su Lan: "Of course it's true! Look how good they are to each other now. If they don't get married this year, I'll take your surname!"
Gu Huailin was overjoyed when he thought about his parents getting married, which meant he would finally have a real home. He wanted to shout it out loud, but he was afraid of scaring the people around him.
Su Lan said to her eldest son, "You can go boil water now!"
Zhou Yong turned around, picked up the bucket, added some water to the pot, and then put it on the stove.
Zhou Cheng came back from outside and smiled when he saw the dumplings on the table.
"I'm back just in time; we'll have dumplings for lunch today."
"How are things selling?" Su Lan asked, noticing the man's empty hands.
"They're all sold." Zhou Cheng took all the money out of his pocket and put it on the counter. "There's just a lot of change, so I don't know how much I sold."
Su Lan was happy to see money. "No matter how much it sells for, it's good that we made money today."
Zhou Cheng said, "Can I apply to have a little wine later? The more you drink, the better!"
Su Lan said, "Okay! But you're only allowed one bowl. You've just recovered, so you can't drink too much alcohol; it'll harm your health!"
Zhou Cheng: "Okay, wife! I'll only drink one bowl!"
Inside the house.
Lu Zhixia brewed two cups of tea and placed them on the windowsill, then sat down next to Gu Lingxiao.
"how's it going?"
Gu Lingxiao: "My grandma wants to see you. We've arranged to have dinner at 4 pm."
Seeing that he didn't look very happy, Lu Zhixia asked, "Did something happen in the middle?"
Gu Lingxiao grabbed her hand. "My parents also said they want to see you."
Lu Zhixia could tell he was nervous. "I promised you that even if we had a fight, I wouldn't break up with you."
Gu Lingxiao reached out and hugged her. "Xiaxia! Meeting you is the greatest luck of my life!"
