At first Dawei was a little hesitant.

After his father passed away, he was afraid that his stepmother would run away and that he would be bullied by his uncle and aunt, so his younger brother could not leave his sight.

But since his stepmother remarried and took the two brothers with him to join the army, he enrolled in school...

The worries in my heart were gone, I relaxed a little, no longer had the consciousness of supporting a family, I wanted to honor my mother and take care of her in her old age, and I also wanted to get along well with my three brothers.

so……

Dawei looked at his three brothers, said nothing, and finally went to the kitchen.

Qiao Yu said, "You three brothers are grown up now. You and Dawei will take turns washing dishes. It's up to you to decide how to divide the responsibilities. Oh, and we also need to sweep the floor and change the sheets... Forget it, you can take turns sweeping the floor first. Zhou Jun, follow me and learn how to wash and hang clothes."

Zhou Jun: "Auntie, I know how to wash and hang clothes."

"You can?"

"Well, I'm the one who washes and hangs out the clothes when dad's not around."

Qiao Yu was very touched: "It's not easy for you to wash clothes for the whole family at such a young age. Let's put it this way. Auntie will give you three cents for each wash, so that if people get the news out, they will think that Auntie is exploiting you."

"Auntie, no need. I would wash clothes for the whole family even if you didn't come."

Qiao Yu raised his hand to stop her: "That's different. I, your aunt, also want a good reputation. If you want to consider your aunt's reputation, don't reject her."

"……All right."

Zhou Wen looked at Qiao Yu, then lowered his head in a daze again.

Qiao Yu: "Okay, go boil some water and take a bath!"

Zhou Wu was somewhat resistant: "Auntie, didn't we just take a shower yesterday?"

"The weather is so bad, and you sweat a lot every day. If you don't take a hot bath, you will feel stuffy. You must take a bath! Otherwise, the sheets will turn yellow, and your brother will suffer when he washes the sheets!"

"..."Okay, in order to reduce the number of times his brother washes the sheets, Zhou Wu did it reluctantly.

After taking a shower, as usual, there is a bowl of rich maltose.

After drinking and washing his own bowl, Zhou Wu couldn't help but smack his lips: "Auntie, what are we going to eat tomorrow?"

"There's nothing at home, what can I eat?"

"Oh, are we going to have something sweet or something salty?"

Qiao Yu found that this little black charcoal was quite knowledgeable about language and culture, and smiled: "Eat potatoes!"

"Except for potatoes..."

"Nothing else!" Qiao Yu said forcefully.

Zhou Wu was a little disappointed and returned to the bedroom with his head hung.

Zhou Wu couldn't sleep because of Qiao Yu's words. He leaned over to ask his elder brother, "Brother, do you think Auntie just came and wants to leave a good impression on us so she's spending lavishly? Will we live the same as before?"

"have no idea."

"Is there something you don't know? Aren't you on good terms with Auntie? Why don't you ask Auntie?"

Zhou Jun's eyelids twitched violently, "You and I met your aunt on the same day, how come we have such a good relationship?"

The two were about to start arguing when a voice interrupted: "She's teasing you."

I said this to my silly younger brother.

For a moment, there was silence.

Zhou Wu couldn't help but said, "Brother, pinch me, did my brother just say something?"

Zhou Jun rolled his eyes, "No. You heard it right, your brother just spoke."

Zhou Wu was incredulous and said, "How bizarre! When our father died in the war and our mother took the money and ran away, my brother never said a word, let alone cried. When he was bullied by relatives, he never said a word. Even when he was scolded by those bastards, he didn't move a muscle.

After my aunt came, my brother was able to speak? A medical miracle. "

"...I think not only your brother should look at his throat, but you should also look at your brain."

"What do you mean? Brother, you said I'm stupid? That's not right! I'm very smart, and the teacher praised me for learning quickly! Brother, you are not allowed to sleep, make it clear!"

Zhou Jun's head hurt from the noise, so he could only say, "How about you think back to what your brother just said?"

She is teasing you...

The Zhou army successfully diverted the disaster to the east, and King Wu of Zhou turned his attention to his brother.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you kidding me? So what aunt said doesn't count? Can we still eat well in the future?"

Zhou Wen ignored him and quickly fell asleep.

…

As usual, Qiao Yu slept until noon.

In the morning, Dawei wanted to go to school with her, so when Qiao Yu was sleeping soundly, he put Xiaoyong into her bed.

Xiaoyong was quite well behaved. He sat next to Qiao Yu's pillow, playing with his fingers and the bed sheets.

When Qiao Yu was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to agree to something?

When I woke up, I was startled by the skinny shadow next to my pillow!

"Oh my god!"

It turned out to be Xiaoyong.

The other person smiled at himself who had just woken up.

Qiao Yu picked him up and said, "I'm so confused. When did you get into bed with my mother?"

Xiao Yong said cheerfully: "Mom, Mom."

Looking at his cute appearance, Qiao Yu patted the child's cheek happily, "You are so easy to take care of, so good."

After holding Xiaoyong and helping him wash up, Qiao Yu started to make lunch.

The potato and sweet potato in the space were copied into two.

The black box is completely full.

Add the cloned sweet potatoes to a food bag and make them for lunch today?

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro and cabbage are stewed with soybean oil, soy sauce, vinegar and salt.

The children returned on time.

As usual, he ate half a bowl of rice to show that he was eating. When Zhou Wu went to clean up the dishes, Qiao Yu asked Dawei, "How is school? Are the teachers strict? Can you understand what they teach? Are your classmates getting along well with you?"

"The teacher is not strict, the teaching is understandable, and the classmates are easy to get along with."

Qiao Yu nodded and asked Zhou Jun, "I have to go to the private plot this afternoon, and I also have to do some things to visit the director of the Women's Federation and Wang's wife. Can you take Xiaoyong to school for half a day? Otherwise, I can't help."

Zhou Jun said without hesitation: "Aunt, there are often students in our class who bring their younger brothers and sisters to class. As long as the younger brothers and sisters don't make noise, the teacher will turn a blind eye. Xiaoyong is a very well behaved brother, it's okay."

"Okay, I'll take care of it then."

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem, auntie."

After a few polite words, when the children went to school in the afternoon, Qiao Yu found the family hoe and asked for directions to the private plot.

There is only so much land on the island that can be used for cultivation.

Although Zhou Ze'an's military rank was high, the private plots allocated to him were calculated based on the number of people in his family. Qiao Yu took a look and found that the area of ​​her private plot was not small compared to other families. With her, Dawei and Xiaoyong joining in, the private plot could be expanded...

Well, you can bring this up when you see the director of the Women's Federation later.

My own private plot is still empty.

She started to dig the soil, raised the hoe high and swung it down, and saw... um? Seeds?

Ha, someone planted the seeds for her?

"Oh my God! Why didn't you get struck to death by lightning? I was left alone! That's my seed! You have to pay for it!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Qiao Yu turned his head expressionlessly and looked over——

Sure enough, it was Yang Hongxia.

Standing next to Yang Hongxia? Yes, she is also an acquaintance, Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua was much smarter than Yang Hongxia. When she met Qiao Yu's gaze, her shoulders shrank. She dared not speak a word and even kept a distance from Yang Hongxia, who was traveling with her, to avoid being implicated.
