Another aunt also said, "That's right. Who wouldn't want to work if they could? Working means earning money, and we can buy a lot of delicious food for our children. And you know my family's situation. Not only do we have to send ten dollars home every month, but we also have to spend money to buy groceries here. My husband's monthly salary is not enough to cover our expenses."
"That's right. It's the same in my family. If we all have jobs, our children's lives will be much better in the future. My child used to drink malted milk, but he hasn't had it for more than half a year. He keeps asking to buy more, but I don't have the money to buy it."
Parents not only have to provide their children with food and clothing, but also have to take care of their children's medical care, and even buy groceries for them. They also have to save money for them, otherwise how will they get the money to marry when they grow up?
They want their future children to have an easier time and don’t want them to be so tired, but this is what most parents would do, right?
Luo Xingci rolled her eyes and asked tentatively, "Aunts, if someone wants to build a factory in the compound, do you think the leaders above will agree?" She thought that this would definitely be agreed, right? And this is also a good thing.
"Well, I definitely agree. To tell you the truth, there used to be a factory here, but something went wrong and it stopped operating. We don't know what happened, only the older generation knows. We only found out about it when we saw them moving away when we first arrived."
In fact, there used to be a small factory in the compound, which made clothes. Later, it moved away overnight. Some people said that the person who ran the factory seemed to have done something bad, which led to the factory being implicated. Many years passed like this, and no one came here to open a factory.
An aunt seemed to smell something different. She came close to Luo Xingci and asked, "Xingci, are they going to set up a factory in our compound?"
Luo Xingci smiled knowingly, "I'll tell you when it's confirmed." She was not very familiar with the people in the compound, but she was familiar with Lu Sinian. However, she could see that everyone was easy to get along with and there were no weirdos. The only weirdo had been driven out of the compound.
Upon hearing this, the aunts looked at each other, and then worked even harder. They were sure that Luo Xingcici not only had a job outside, but also found jobs for them. If a factory was built in the compound, wouldn't that mean they had found jobs?
In the evening, she called the Lu family and told them that they had been living in the compound recently. Lu Sinian naturally knew about this, so he told a few of his comrades-in-arms who he had a good relationship with to come to his place for dinner the next day so that everyone could get to know each other.
"Gu Zhihe, bring your son to my house for dinner tomorrow, and the rest of you guys should come along." Lu Sinian smiled happily. It happened that he had a day off tomorrow, so he could accompany his wife to buy groceries and spend some time with her.
Gu Zhihe nodded when he heard that, "Okay, this kid has been wondering why you haven't come back yet." Gu Yizhou has become very quiet recently. He ignores anyone who talks to him, and he likes to stare at one place for the whole day.
When Gu Yizhou knew that Luo Xingci had returned, he immediately ran downstairs and saw Luo Xingci busy in the vegetable garden. He ran over like a firecracker, and when he was almost in front of Luo Xingci, he stopped and looked at Luo Xingci intently.
"Auntie, you're finally back. I thought you wouldn't come back." He knew that Luo Xingci had returned to live at the Lu family, and he didn't know when she would come back. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and now he saw a smile on her thin face.
Luo Xingci touched his head and said, "Why wouldn't you come back? I'm a local and I will definitely come back. Why have you become so thin? Didn't you eat well?" Then she took out a biscuit from her pocket and gave it to him.
"Eat it, this is for you by your aunt." Afraid that he would not want it, Luo Xingci touched his head and asked him to accept it.
Gu Yizhou took the biscuits and ate them in small bites. It was the first time he received something as a gift from someone else. Those people didn't want to play with him. Of course, he had his own problems. He didn't want to play with them because he knew that he was a child that was not wanted by his mother. If they played with him and something happened, they would definitely not play with him again.
Besides, his father is so busy, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his father. He still likes to play with the aunt in front of him. Even if it's just staying with her, it's enough.
"Auntie, how long will you stay here?" He was afraid that Luo Xingci would leave after a few days, so he wanted his aunt to stay here longer.
"You will probably live here from now on, right? Why are you reluctant to leave your aunt?" Luo Xingci liked the little boy in front of him at first sight. He was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
Gu Yizhou nodded happily after hearing this, "That's great, I will definitely miss you, auntie. If you live here in the future, I will come to visit you every day."
"No, Auntie has to go to work to earn money. I'll buy you something delicious when I get paid, okay?"
Gu Yizhou's raised mouth corners curved down, but he soon realized that work can make money, "Auntie, when I grow up I will also work to make a lot of money for you, buy you a lot of delicious food, and buy you a truckload of clothes and shoes, and wear gold and silver for you."
"Yizhou, why are you so nice to your aunt? If you have money, save it and buy it for your father."
"Because I like you, aunt. No one has ever been as nice to me as you are."
"Okay, how about having dinner at Auntie's house tonight?"
Gu Yizhou nodded, "Okay, Auntie, I'll help you pick the vegetables."
After picking the vegetables, Luo Xingci took him back to her home to prepare dinner, "Auntie will cook bacon for you later, and fried crispy fish." She took out the crispy fish from the space and planned to fry it tonight.
Luo Xingci took some rice to cook. Her family could burn firewood, so they used firewood to cook and fry dishes. Moreover, the food cooked with firewood was especially delicious. After the rice was cooked, she started to cook.
First wash the pan clean, then start frying the fish. When the fish turns golden brown, use a spatula to scoop it into a dish.
"Come, how about trying it?" Luo Xingci gave Gu Yizhou a crispy fish.
Gu Yizhou smelled the fragrance and swallowed his saliva. He put it in his mouth and it was very crisp when he bit it. "Auntie, this fish is so delicious, very crispy and fragrant."
"I'll stir-fry some green onions tonight to make it even more delicious."
After frying the fish, she went to wash the vegetables. Gu Yizhou also went over to help and helped to light the fire.
"Auntie, I will help you light the fire from now on." After that, Gu Yizhou not only helped her look after the vegetable garden, but also lit the fire for her.
