Er Tiao was the first to disagree. He couldn't control Liu Tiao without his brother. If Liu Tiao couldn't have fun outside, he might as well stay home. There were fun things to do and delicious food at home...
"Come on, let's go for a walk outside." After Cheng Zhenzhu finished her task, she called the three children to go outside and play.
Now that San Tiao can let go, she plans to find some work...
So in March, around the Spring Equinox, Cheng Zhenzhu took a few little kids to the mountains to earn work points.
Of course, she didn't rely on the little kids to earn work points, but seeing that they didn't want to stay at home, and thinking that it would make her feel more at ease to keep them by her side, she brought them all here.
The people on Sanshi Island were quite surprised when Cheng Zhenzhu showed up and said she wanted to take on some work. You Yumei was not so surprised, because she had heard about this plan from Zhenzhu a few days ago.
She felt good about it. Now that the kid could let go and earn some work points, it was good. After all, the little boy was eating the old man out of poverty. There were four kids in this family, so she had to help them earn more money to support their wives...
"Cheng Zhenzhu, we have already arranged the work in front, and we will take turns according to the tasks. If you come to the back, you can only pick up the leftover work. No one is carrying the shit, so you go and carry it." Seeing so many people around, Xu Xia was not so afraid of Cheng Zhenzhu, and immediately stood up to speak.
Cheng Zhenzhu glanced at Xu Xia, her eyes indifferent. Liu Xia had been timid around her for over a year now. Now she's emboldened by the crowd, right? Look how capable she is!
Sometimes I find it quite funny when I watch it...
"What are you yelling about? Why did you come here suddenly? Haven't you received your work yet? Dali's son, since you are so good at organizing things, why don't you just assign this work?" Chen Xiuhua stepped forward and said.
Xu Xia curled her lips. She actually wanted to be the one to do the work! Then she would definitely assign herself the easiest tasks every day, and assign the dirtiest and most tiring tasks to those who were annoying. For example, Cheng Zhenzhu, she could be asked to carry feces and urine every day. After all, she was strong, so she was the perfect fit...
Chen Xiuhua knew Xu Xia was dissatisfied when she saw her expression, so she said coldly, "Everyone takes turns doing the work. There's no such thing as someone taking turns. Someone else has already taken the job today. Yesterday you cut the sweet potatoes, today you wrap them, and the day after tomorrow it's your turn to carry shit and urine..."
She had always disliked Xu Xia, and as she became more and more fond of the Aiqing family, she became even more annoyed with Xu Xia.
"I'm born the day after tomorrow." Xu Xia said immediately after pinching the date.
"Oh, really? You must have remembered it wrong..." Chen Xiuhua raised her eyelids and turned to Cheng Zhenzhu, her tone much softer. "Aiqing family, you and Yumei and the others can wrap the sweet potatoes with wood ash here today. You can cut them tomorrow."
I had said before that I would arrange a good job for Aiqing's family. Yesterday, Aiqing's family came to Dajun's house to tell him that she was going to start work. She thought that this job was easy recently and she could also look after the children...
Xu Xia was furious when she saw Chen Xiuhua's distinct attitudes. She couldn't bear to offend either of them. One was the captain's wife, and the other had broken her arm; both were tough.
Xu Xia could only vent her anger on her two adopted daughters beside her. "Why are you so slow? Haven't you eaten? What the hell are you doing? You're useless!"
Faced with this unexpected disaster, the sisters Yu Xiaohua and Yu Xiaocao could only endure it obediently to avoid suffering more.
Their stepfather said he would send them to school next year, but their mother didn't quite agree, so they decided to behave well during this period...
"Thank you, Aunt Xiuhua." Cheng Zhenzhu thanked softly.
"No need." Chen Xiuhua waved her hand. "Just do your job. This job looks simple, but it's tiring. Look, there are still a lot of sweet potatoes to cut and wrap..."
"Grandma Xiuhua, I will do my best!" Peng Ertiao said, patting his chest.
"Okay, if you do a good job, it will count as one work point, just like those kids..." Compared to the bunch of kids on the mountain, Chen Xiuhua still prefers this little kid who looks and speaks in a festive way.
"Okay!" Er Tiao shouted and started to work. He was a little man, he wanted to earn work points to support his family!
San Tiao squatted down beside his mother, wanting to help, too. Liu Tiao had no concept of "work points," he just thought it was fun, digging his little hands into the ash, grabbing handfuls, scattering handfuls, and laughing happily.
You Yumei saw this and teased him, "Liu Tiao, why don't you help your mother? Look, your two brothers are helping your mother earn work points. If you help your mother and earn more work points, you can buy meat..."
"Meat~" Liu Tiao felt like he had grasped the key point. He wanted to eat some meat. Eating meat would make him taller and bigger!
Nijou didn't think Rokujo could be of much help, and he was lucky enough to be able to stay out of trouble. But he was happy to teach him. "Rokujou, do this, understand?"
"Yeah~" Liu Tiao nodded.
Cheng Zhenzhu buried the sweet potato pieces cut by the person next to her in the wood ash to make sure they were completely coated.
"Mom, why?" San Tiao looked at the sweet potato pieces wrapped in wood ash in his palm, blinked, and was a little puzzled.
Cheng Zhenzhu naturally tried her best to answer San Tiao's questions of exploration and curiosity.
Wood ash is highly alkaline and rich in many trace elements. Wrapping it on the cut surface of sweet potato pieces can block the reproduction ability of fungi and bacteria, and can also prevent some insect eggs from contacting and damaging the sweet potato pieces.
"What are bacteria? What are fungi?" Peng Ertiao also had questions.
Cheng Zhenzhu tried to explain it in simple terms. The people nearby were stunned. This kid from the city, who had been to school a bit, was different! He seemed to know everything. They had never heard of Xijun or Zhenjun before.
