Hua Jing also knew that her elder sister earned several dozen yuan a month, and it would be inconvenient for her to continue taking leave after taking such a long leave unless she didn't want to work anymore. It was more cost-effective to ask someone to help than to take care of the child herself. Fortunately, her elder sister didn't let her run back and forth.
My sister-in-law and her husband are farmers at home. They have three children and live with my parents-in-law. The family of five only has one mud brick house.
My sister-in-law’s eldest son is thirteen years old this year. He will get married in six or seven years. How can he find a wife when the time comes if we don’t have a house?
If the sister-in-law comes to help Lu Jin take care of the children for two years, it will be no problem for her to go back and build a few tiled houses.
At five o'clock, Zhong Suyan came out of the space, went to Lu's house to borrow Lu Jin's bicycle, and went back to her parents' home. She gave her parents a basket of early-ripening cherries, hundreds of kilograms of grain, five kilograms of ribs, and ten kilograms of pork.
When she came back, she took six kilograms of pork ribs, eight kilograms of pork, and ten kilograms of early-ripening yellow cherries from the space and went to the Lu family.
Hua Jing asked her, "Where did this fruit come from?"
"My mom gave it to me. I don't know where she bought it, but she said she would give it to Yiming to try."
These are the first batch of early-ripening yellow cherries, three parts sour and seven parts sweet. Children should like them very much, and my sister-in-law, who is pregnant, should like them too.
This week, Lu Chen and Lu Yu were both away from home. Lu Jin, who had returned, stayed in his room writing manuscripts. Su Yan knew that he was now focused on figuring out how to make money; after all, he had children to raise.
Lu Yilan only drank breast milk for a few days and has been drinking formula since then. The expenses are not small. If she feels unwell, going to the hospital for treatment costs several dollars. Now I heard that she needs to hire a nanny, so naturally he has to pay for it. He is under a lot of pressure.
When Su Yan came back, Hua Min had almost prepared dinner with the help of Hua Jing. Seeing that Su Yan brought back so many ribs, they made another dish of braised ribs.
The main course tonight is shepherd's purse dumplings and multi-grain rice. The dishes include fish head tofu soup, cold chrysanthemum salad, sweet and sour pork and braised pork ribs.
After dinner, Hua Min made a cup of tea for Lu Fengnian, Lu Ting, and Lu Jin, father and son.
"Xiaoyan, I invited you to dinner today because I wanted to talk about Lanlan's problem. Your mother and I decided to ask your aunt's sister-in-law to come and take care of Lanlan. What do you think?"
Before Su Yan could express her opinion, Lu Jin took the initiative to say, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'll pay for the hiring myself. The child may need to be taken care of at home. I might come back to stay with Lanlan on Saturdays and Sundays. Don't worry, I'll pay for her living expenses."
Su Yan had no objection to Lu Jin leaving the child at the Lu family. Leaving the child at the Lu family would provide for the care of the child. Lu Yu and Lu Chen sometimes ate lunch at school, and it would not be good to let the nanny take care of the child alone in the courtyard.
If someone gets a fever and doesn't get to the hospital in time, he can easily become a fool. This child is also pitiful because he has no mother and his father is still in school.
Su Yan smiled and said, "Lu Ting and I have no objection. Yilan will stay in the compound. If there are any problems, Auntie can help."
Lu Ting had no objection. After all, Xiao Yilan was a member of their Lu family and the first granddaughter of the Lu family. It was impossible for them to be so petty just to take advantage of her mother-in-law.
Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his elder brother and sister-in-law would ask them to stay in the courtyard with the child. He was also worried that if he went to school and left the child with a nanny, it would be disastrous if something irreversible happened.
Lu Fengnian looked at Hua Jing and said, "Auntie, please go and talk to the younger sister of the Qin family about hiring someone."
"Brother-in-law, thank you for giving Xiaofang a job. I will go back early tomorrow morning and come back in the afternoon."
Hua Min reminded him, "If possible, ask her to come over at the end of May. I need to go back to work in June."
"I see, big sister. Xiaofang also does farm work and takes care of the family at home. If she gets this job, all their children can go to school."
Lu Fengnian nodded and said, "Well, their children are younger than yours, right? Not only do they have to go to high school, but they should at least finish elementary and junior high school. That way, they will be easier to recruit for the factory."
Hua Jing naturally knew that many people suffered from not having enough education. Even if they received a notice for the recruitment exam, they still failed. Her eldest daughter now works in a soap factory and sometimes says that she regrets not finishing junior high school.
She honestly took care of her nephew's children so that her own children could study more. If they were admitted to university, the government would guarantee them a job.
Hua Jing agreed with a smile, "They should study more. It would be great if Xiaoyan and Xiaojin could become doctors after graduation. We have a few naughty kids at home. As long as they are willing to study, we will sell everything we have to let them study. If they pass the college entrance examination in the future, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
Su Yan smiled. Even if her aunt's children had good grades, they would not be able to get into university in the next twelve or thirteen years. Lu Chen was going to take the college entrance examination today, and Lu Yu would take it next year. Even if they passed, they would not be able to study for long. It was not known whether they would be arranged to be educated youth in the future.
Before going to bed, Su Yan suddenly remembered something she had forgotten for a long time, so she woke up Lu Ting to talk.
"Yan Yan, are you thinking about it again?"
"I miss you, I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I've saved a lot of tea seeds over the past few years. Do you recognize the leader of the oil mill? Let's take the tea seeds to the mill to get them pressed for oil."
“The oil mill only accepts raw materials and does not provide oil pressing for private individuals.”
"So, what you're saying is, I sell the tea seeds to them, but we still have to find a way to get tickets to buy oil from them?"
Lu Ting patted Su Yan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, how many dried rapeseed seeds are there in the space now?"
"This year's harvest will be in September, and the warehouse should have 80,000 to 90,000 kilograms of dried tea seeds."
"Ten thousand catties of rapeseed will yield at least two thousand catties of tea seed oil, and eighty to ninety thousand catties of tea seeds will yield about eighteen thousand catties of tea seed oil. Yanyan needs as many catties of tea seed oil as she wants. I'll try to get someone to reserve some."
"Lu Ting, do you have a solution? Leave 50 kilograms of tea oil for your family and my mother's family, and we will keep 300 kilograms in the space for ourselves."
Su Yan also knew that it was indeed difficult to handle too much oil. After all, the factories all belonged to the state, and they only accepted raw materials for oil extraction.
"There's no rush for oil pressing. I'll talk to someone. If it doesn't work, take the tea seeds to Jinshi."
"If possible, could you please bring back some tea leaves?"
"What do you want tea leaves for?"
"Fertilize the land, and the watermelons you grow will be extra sweet."
"Okay, leave this to me. Now I'll fertilize your land." Lu Ting said, turning over and pressing Su Yan under him...
