Team Leader Huang: "As long as the tractor can move normally, that's a good thing. Thank you, educated youth Gao."
If a part breaks, we can just make another one. A single drag-and-drop machine can save a lot of labor.
Gao Shujing: "I'm so glad I can help the team right away. I'll go to the town's scrap yard tomorrow and see if I can find similar materials to make parts."
Captain Huang: "I'll give you a letter of introduction. Just tell me how much money you need."
The vegetable and minced meat porridge served in the evening received unanimous praise from the four little rascals.
The twins ate with their mouths glistening with oil. Warrior Duolu danced with his little spoon, constantly shoveling porridge into his mouth, and even managed to squeeze in a moment to praise Yu Rujia.
Duolu: "It's delicious, Auntie, I want to eat it every day."
Duoshou, her little mouth glistening with oil, said, "I like it, Auntie, you're the best."
Duofu quickened his pace, worried that his two gluttonous younger brothers would eat it all if he was slow. He asked, his words muffled, "Auntie, can we have meat porridge again tomorrow?"
Without even looking up, Yu Rujia replied, "Sure, if you like it, Auntie will make it." She had to grant such a small request.
It wasn't that she didn't want to look up, but the little foodie Duoxi was clinging to the bowl so tightly that if she fed him a little slower, he would definitely stick his head into the bowl.
The little ones have weak stomachs; they can only eat steamed eggs or porridge. She was initially worried they'd get tired of porridge. But seeing the current situation, she figured it would take several more months to get them tired of it.
Just as the group was enjoying their meal, there was a knock at the door. Yu Rujia fed Duoxi a mouthful of porridge and then carried him to open the door.
Gao Shujing was carrying something outside the door.
Yu Rujia was surprised that he arrived so quickly, and stepped aside, saying, "Fourth Brother, come in first."
Gao Shujing is the fourth child in the Jing generation, and his younger siblings all call him Fourth Brother.
Gao Shujing walked into the house and saw several children with grease on their lips. The twins stopped what they were doing, looked up at him, and their big eyes sparkled with curiosity.
The way their eyes darted around showed that these kids were full of energy, and Gao Shujing knew that the Xia family's affairs hadn't had a big impact on the little ones.
Duofu stopped eating, his eyes darting between Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia: "Auntie..."
Gao Shujing last went home a year or two ago. At that time, Duofu was only a little over a year old, and the twins were still in their mother's belly. None of them recognized him.
Yu Rujia introduced, "This is your fourth uncle. Just like your third uncle, he's family. You can call him uncle from now on."
Duofu called out softly, "Uncle." Duolu and Duoshou greeted him from behind.
After responding to each of them, Gao Shujing put down what he was holding, walked to Duofu's side, and patted his little head: "Duofu has grown so much. I heard that Duofu can take care of his younger brother. That's amazing."
One sentence of praise brought a smile to Duofu's face.
Yu Rujia, holding Duoxi who was pointing at the porridge and making noises to urge her to feed him, asked, "Fourth Brother, have you eaten yet?"
Gao Shujing got up and walked to her side: "You've eaten, let me feed Duoxi."
Yu Rujia quickly shoved Duoxi into his arms: "Thank you for your hard work, Fourth Brother."
Without the slightest awkwardness, she handed the child to him. Gao Shujing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yu Rujia didn't intend to hold a grudge against him for what happened before. As long as he behaved well, the two of them should be able to live peacefully together for the next ten years or so.
When the person holding her was suddenly replaced by a stranger, Duoxi was stunned for a moment, then screamed even louder, her chubby little hands reaching towards Yu Rujia, and her chubby little legs kicking vigorously in Gao Shujing's arms.
Caught off guard, Gao Shujing almost let the little guy break free. He tightened his grip, then adjusted his holding position to keep the little guy firmly in his arms.
Gao Shujing: "How can someone be so strong?"
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking free, the little guy pouted and howled.
Seeing this, Yu Rujia quickly stuffed a mouthful of porridge into his mouth. Upon tasting the familiar deliciousness, Duoxi stopped crying and swallowed the porridge with his little mouth moving.
Yu Rujia moved a stool in front of Gao Shujing: "The little guy is strong and healthy. You sit down and feed him first. If you wait too long, he'll start crying again."
Gao Shujing's gaze fell on Duoxi's little face, and sure enough, he saw that Duoxi looked aggrieved again.
He sat down and, holding the bowl in his hand, Gao Shujing picked up a spoon and began to feed Duoxi porridge.
With porridge to eat, Duoxi became content, focusing intently on the spoon, perfectly embodying the saying "whoever feeds you is your mother."
On the other side, Duolu had already finished a bowl of porridge: "Auntie, more." Yu Rujia took his bowl and ladled out another bowl for him.
Duoshou finished eating and handed over her bowl: "Auntie, scoop some water."
Yu Rujia gave him a bowl as well, and then took another bowl to scoop out some porridge for herself.
Yu Rujia: "When did Fourth Brother arrive?"
Gao Shujing continued feeding Duoxi, saying, "It arrived today."
Yu Rujia: "Do you want me to take you over there?"
Gao Shujing: "I know where they are, you don't need to take them. I heard from my third brother that my second aunt said if you go there again, she'll kill herself. I promised my family that I'd keep an eye on you and make sure you don't do anything reckless."
Yu Rujia: "Before, I would only go there to visit my third brother when he was still alive. After he passed away, I was too busy with things at home to have time to go there."
"Don't worry, I won't go there again unless there are special circumstances."
Gao Shujing's lips curled up slightly: "I'll find a way to move in next door, and then I can take care of Duofu and the others with you."
Duofu, who was scooping porridge, was unhappy. He had been obediently listening to his aunt and helping her. His aunt praised him as the most reliable person and said he didn't need anyone to watch over him.
Duofu: "I don't need Uncle to look after me. It's Duolu and Duoshou who are always trying to run away; and Duoxi, he climbs onto the table in the blink of an eye, I can't catch him all at once. Uncle, just keep an eye on them."
“I will also keep an eye on my younger brothers, and I will help my aunt.”
The little boy's mature expression amused Gao Shujing: "You know how powerful Duofu is. The naughty ones are Duolu and Duoshou. Uncle will keep an eye on them from now on and not let them run around."
In the midst of his busy schedule, Duoshou took a moment to retort, "Duolu, you're not being good, you're running away, Duoshou, catch him, catch him." This was yet another child trying to show off how well-behaved he was.
Duolu, who had been dumped by the group, was unhappy. With his mouth full of porridge, he muttered in defense of himself, "It was Duoxi who ran away."
The group's gaze fell on Duoxi, the baby in Gao Shujing's arms. Duoxi, who couldn't speak or understand them, was eating porridge and looking at them with her big, innocent eyes.
