Zhang Yufen stood quietly aside until the two children walked away.
She took three deep breaths and finally mustered up the courage to speak to Jiang Li.
"Xiao Li, your brother and sister are all in school, and I can't stay at home idle any longer. I want to find a job outside. The salary doesn't matter, as long as I can make money."
Zhang Yufen organized her words and spoke to Jiang Li very seriously.
Jiang Li was a little surprised after hearing this, but did not rush to speak.
"You took care of my younger siblings for over a year. It's really not easy for a little girl like you to do this."
"I can't be a burden to you anymore. I'm still young and not old enough to retire. I can still do a lot of things. I don't want to stay at home and suck your blood."
Zhang Yufen spoke sincerely and even took Jiang Li's hand when she was moved.
"Mom, if you really want to find a job, I have a good job for you."
As soon as Jiang Li opened his mouth, Zhang Yufen shook her head like a rattle.
"Mom doesn't have any skills. If I don't want to find a job, I have to rely on my daughter to get in through the back door. Don't help me this time. I want to make money through my own efforts."
"Mom, did I ever tell you that I bought a store in the department store?"
Zhang Yufen tried hard to recall and then shook her head, indicating that she didn't know about it.
"I've been busy with my wedding and honeymoon, so I haven't made any pastries in a long time. The shop has been closed and the sales staff have been on vacation for several days."
"If mom really feels too idle, then let's make a batch of cakes in the next two days. We have to replenish the stock, right?"
Zhang Yufen wanted to refuse, but Jiang Li added another sentence.
"Even if my mother refuses to help me, I usually have to ask someone to help me. I have to pay more than two dollars a day for each person, which is not low at all."
"What kind of work do I have to do to help? Why are they paid so much?"
Zhang Yufen widened her eyes in surprise. Although she had not worked outside for many years, she knew the market situation outside from what others had said.
After working hard all day, I only earn a little over one dollar at most.
Jiang Li asked someone to help him make pastries and only paid him more than two yuan a day. Isn’t that too much?
"I just wash and peel the fruits and vegetables, and then help with the chores at hand. The job is very simple and anyone can do it. I just need to be efficient and responsible."
"That's pretty easy to do."
The more Zhang Yufen listened, the more excited she became, and she even felt a little eager to try it.
It would be better to let her do it instead of paying so much money to ask others to do the work, which can also reduce the burden on my daughter.
"Okay, I'll come and try it when you bring the stuff back."
"Isn't this simple?"
Jiang Li immediately made a phone call and ordered a batch of materials.
Two hours later, the items Jiang Li ordered were delivered one after another.
Without waiting for Jiang Li's arrangements, Zhang Yufen took the initiative to start working.
In order to prevent her mother from making mistakes and discouraging her enthusiasm, Jiang Li briefly told her the requirements of the job.
Zhang Yufen was originally a good worker, and the work that Jiang Li asked her to do was simply her forte.
Jiang Li originally thought that the two aunts she hired worked fast enough, but when she came to her mother's place, she realized what real speed was.
Zhang Yufen is very organized in her work and the whole process goes smoothly.
Jiang Li didn't want his mother to work too hard, so he planned to ask someone else to come over. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoxiu, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to come and help.
Jiang Li also brought a small stool and worked with them.
There are so many people at home, it would be a waste to hire more people.
Shen Changan originally wanted to stay with Jiang Li, but now seeing how busy they were, he could only consciously take over the task of taking care of the children.
He has been busy with his marriage recently and has not spent enough time with his children for a long time.
Now that he finally had a chance, Shen Changan tried his best to make the children happy and cultivate relationships with them.
As children grow older, they become more lively and their facial expressions become richer.
They gradually learned to speak and could say several words intermittently.
Although they are still a little unsteady when walking, as long as their hands are held, they will try their best to move forward.
The two children look very much like him when he was a child, as if they were two smaller versions of him.
The more Shen Changan looked at them, the more he liked them, and he became more patient with them.
Shen Changan not only played with them, but also did military gymnastics with them.
Xiao Li said that although Zhuangzhuang's nickname is Zhuangzhuang, he is not strong at all.
Shen Changan thought about letting them practice with him when they were young, so that when they grew up, their physical fitness would not be as good as his, but at least they would not be so prone to illness.
The family had a busy day and it was soon time to go home from school.
Jiang Yi took Jiang Yun home.
Jiang Yun's face looked a little tired, but he still forced a smile.
"Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you? Did someone upset you at school today?"
Jiang Yun shook her head somewhat frustratedly. She also took a small stool and sat obediently next to Jiang Li, silently helping with the work.
Jiang Li was worried about his sister and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
After her repeated questioning, Jiang Yun told the truth.
It turned out that during the Chinese class, the head teacher called on her to answer a question, but Jiang Yun stood up but could not answer.
"That's it? Did the teacher criticize you?"
My sister seems a little sensitive now and can't stand any small setbacks.
It may also be because she has experienced too much in the past, so now she is a little nervous.
Jiang Yun shook his head and said softly, "No."
"Xiaoyun, the reason we have to go to school is because we don't understand a lot of knowledge. It's your first day of school today, and you can find the classroom and arrange your seat by yourself, which is already amazing."
"It's normal that you can't answer questions now because of your weak foundation, but as you study, you will improve faster and faster, and you will be able to answer more and more questions."
"The teacher called on you to answer a question, probably because he wanted other students to get to know you. You can pay attention tomorrow and see if every student the teacher called on can answer the question."
Jiang Li smiled gently and comforted her. Although the words were simple, she made them sound very philosophical.
Jiang Yun paused in her work, then she raised her head and looked at Jiang Li with sparkling eyes. After a moment's silence, she suddenly screamed in surprise.
"Sister, I understand. I've figured it out."
Jiang Li looked at the smile on his sister's face and immediately smiled too.
"Are you still sad now? Do you still have to go to school tomorrow?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and nodded, and quickly explained for fear that his sister would misunderstand.
"Sister, I'm not sad at all. I still have to go to school tomorrow. There are still many things I don't understand, and I want to learn them all through study!"
