Yu Rujia: "Watermelon is a summer cooling wonder, of course it's delicious. Come on, Osmanthus, don't be shy, eat up."
Lü Guihua said softly, "Yes, thank you, Zhiqing Yu."
Lu Kuohai: "When are Officer Gao and Educated Youth Yu planning to get married?"
Gao Shujing glanced at his beloved, his gentle voice filled with joy: "July or August, the exact date is still under discussion, you are welcome to attend our wedding then."
Lu Kuohai: "Congratulations! Please let us know when the time is set."
When Gao Shujing went out to reconnect the power, Yu Rujia noticed that the kids didn't run out to play as usual.
Duofu is sensible and smart, but his age is what it is. Even if a four-year-old has a higher IQ, he is still a child and should be having fun. He has been going out to play a lot since the beginning of the year, but now he is staying at home.
Even Duolu, who has ADHD, has been staying home quietly these past two days, which is quite strange.
Yu Rujia: "Duofu, why haven't you guys gone out to play these past few days?"
Duofu frowned, looking quite troubled, as if he was considering how to start the conversation.
Yu Rujia turned her gaze to the little ones behind her. Duolu, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, immediately told her the reason with a wronged expression when he saw Yu Rujia looking at him.
Duolu: "A few days ago, many children from the brigade came to play with us, but they were too dirty. They had snot running down their noses and wiped it everywhere, and they even used it to play. We didn't want to play with them."
Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia are both clean, and so are Duofu and the others, even the most lively Duolu and Duoxi.
Although they inevitably get their clothes dirty when they go out to play, their faces won't have oil stains or snot.
Even the youngest, Takagi, doesn't walk around with snot hanging from his nose. He cleans it up immediately when it comes to food, and he doesn't usually get food on his clothes when he eats.
When they saw a snotty-nosed person approaching them, their clothes covered in all sorts of filth, they were naturally disgusted.
Yu Rujia: "If you don't want to play with them, you don't have to."
Duo Shou said with a bitter face, "The brigade is only so big. Wherever we go, people come and play with us. We can't avoid them."
Even the most carefree Duolu and Duoxi couldn't stand it. Duoshou, who was always meticulous and loved beauty, was the one who paid the most attention to his appearance among the children. When he saw dirty things, his stomach would churn.
Duofu said with a droopy face, "I asked Brother Erdan, and he said that Uncle gave them electricity, and the parents of those children asked their children to play with us more, but we don't want to play with them."
Duoxi frowned in disgust and said, "Yes, they're dirty. Duoxi doesn't like them."
Yu Rujia knew what those people were thinking. They were just worried that if they offended Yu Rujia again, Gao Shujing wouldn't fix the circuit if it broke down later.
This was how he got his child to build a good relationship with Duofu and the others, in order to curry favor with Yu Rujia.
It can only be said that this way of showing goodwill is really unfair to the little ones.
Yu Rujia: "If you don't want to go out, stay home for a few more days. Kids forget things easily, they'll forget about it in a few days, and you can go out and play then."
Duoxi's little face was filled with doubt: "Won't they forget? I always remember that my second brother owes me strawberries. He's going to pay me back five? Six...?"
Yu Rujia knew exactly how many strawberries she would give to the little ones each day, so even if they ate a few more, it wouldn't be a problem. Therefore, she didn't stop Duolu from borrowing strawberries from Duoxi.
Anyway, Duoxi only gets six strawberries a day, so no matter how much Duolu borrows, he can't borrow many more.
After figuring out the rules, Doroku had fewer concerns about borrowing strawberries from Doshi.
After eating strawberries for so long, Duoxi would remind Duolu to return the strawberries every day, but in the end, she didn't get the strawberries back and lent him some more.
Even though Duoxi learns arithmetic with Duofu every day, he can now count from one to twenty and can also do addition and subtraction within five. However, Duolu borrowed too many strawberries, and Duoxi couldn't keep up with the count.
Duofu and Duoshou were too lazy to bother with these two silly brothers. No one was keeping track of Duoxi's past, and now no one knew how many strawberries Duolu had tricked Duoxi out of. The little guy was definitely going to suffer this loss.
When Duolu saw him bring up the topic again, he quickly put his arm around Duoxi's little shoulder and walked towards the backyard like brothers: "Duoxi, come on, your second brother will take you to play."
Doki was immediately distracted, forgot about the strawberries, and happily followed Doro to the backyard.
Duofu and Duoshou exchanged a glance and followed the two silly brothers to the backyard.
The vegetable garden now has strawberries, cherry tomatoes, watermelons, cucumbers... all kinds of foods that can be eaten raw. They have to keep an eye on the two silly brothers and not let them do anything reckless.
A month or two passed, and Duolu had learned his lesson about stealing food, but the way he drooled over the vegetable garden every day was really worrying.
Duofu and Duoshou can only keep a close eye on him to prevent a repeat of the last time he overate.
Yu Rujia couldn't bear to see the children being wronged, and considering that Lu Kuohai and Lü Guihua's wedding was approaching, she decided to go to town to see what she could buy.
After instructing the children, Yu Rujia rode her bicycle to town and locked it in front of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The people in the production brigade are at work, and the workers in the town are at their jobs. Apart from the sales clerks, there are only a few customers walking around inside the supply and marketing cooperative. When she goes in to buy things, you can also see her bicycle.
Yu Rujia walked to the fabric section. The little ones go out every day, and their clothes wear out faster than when they stayed at home last year. She planned to buy some fabric to make clothes for the little ones.
The police station only had a little fabric left, not enough.
Her luck finally turned around; the supply and sales company received a new batch of fabric in various colors.
Yu Rujia generously selected several bolts of cloth: "Comrade, please get me one bolt of light blue twill cloth with white stripes, one bolt of blue printed cloth, one bolt of dark green cloth, and one bolt of black cloth..."
Before she could finish speaking, the sales clerk impatiently interrupted her: "Comrade, you've ordered so much fabric, do you have fabric coupons?"
People usually buy fabric by the foot, but she buys it by the bolt. If Yu Rujia hadn't been dressed well, she wouldn't have been so polite.
Yu Rujia pulled out a handful of receipts: "Yes, I have a lot of people in my family, so we need a lot of fabric. Please take care of us."
A bolt of cloth is ninety feet long, and nine cloth coupons are needed for every ten feet of cloth. She ordered four bolts of cloth at once, which gave her thirty-six cloth coupons.
She had taken out more receipts than usual, and several of them fell to the ground, including a bicycle ticket.
The saleswoman's eyes lit up; she had seen that the woman had arrived on a bicycle, meaning her bicycle ticket might be unnecessary.
