"By the way, Chenchen, Uncle Chen Junfeng said he would come over the day after tomorrow."
Du Bin suddenly remembered what Chen Junfeng had said to him in the afternoon.
Before Du Chen could say anything, Ding Miaomiao got angry.
"Du Bin, why didn't you tell me when I asked you about Uncle Chen Junfeng just now!"
"I forgot, I just remembered it."
"snort!"
Ding Miaomiao snorted angrily and said nothing.
"Alright, come here and hear what he has to say this time. Count on him to counter his moves."
Du Chen pondered for a moment and decided to meet her, since he was quite free recently anyway.
"Miaomiao, come here and have dinner here with your aunt. Then go home after dinner."
At this time, Du Chen's mother came out and saw Ding Miaomiao.
"No, Auntie, my mom is still waiting for me at home. Next time, I will definitely stay next time."
Ding Miaomiao said to Du Chen's mother with a smile.
"Okay, I'll listen to you Miaomiao. Next time, tell auntie what you want to eat and I'll make it for you!"
Du Chen's mother really likes Ding Miaomiao. She always wanted to have a daughter, but the second child was Du Chen.
Ding Miaomiao is pretty and does well in her studies, so of course she is liked by adults.
During dinner in the evening, Du Chen's mother looked at Comrade Lao Du hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Comrade Lao Du was so busy cooking that he didn't notice it, and Du Chen happened to see it.
"Mom, what's wrong? What's going on?"
When Comrade Lao Du and Du Bin heard Du Chen's words, they both put down their chopsticks and looked at Du Chen's mother.
"Lao Du, today when I went to the market to buy vegetables, I ran into people from Haili Village selling vegetables in the market."
"Haili Village? My little sister's village?"
Comrade Lao Du remembered that Du Chen's mother's younger sister seemed to have married into Haili Village.
"Yeah, we chatted for a bit. She was just about to look for me, saying my younger sister asked her to tell me she'd be coming over in the next few days."
"Just stay. Let my little sister stay for a few days. I'll sleep in the store tonight."
"Mom, why didn't Fourth Aunt tell you why she came over?"
Du Chen looked at his mother's embarrassed look and guessed that there was something that made his mother hesitate to speak, otherwise his mother would not be like this when he came to visit.
"Someone from their village was chatting with me, saying that the harvest this year was expected to be poor, so they came here to sell some vegetables to make some money. Also, the cement factory where your fourth uncle worked closed down."
Du Chen's mother hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the reason. She figured her younger sister might be here to borrow money. She was afraid Old Du would be upset.
Comrade Lao Du also put down his chopsticks when he heard this. After all, the family's main source of income was gone at once, and today was not a good time for the New Year. The family relied on the income from the fields, which was very difficult.
"Do we have a lot of cash? Let's save some for the purchase. If there's any left, give it to your sister first. She can return it to us later when she has more money."
Comrade Lao Du pondered for a moment and then said to Du Chen's mother. Du Chen's mother looked at Comrade Lao Du with wide eyes, obviously a little surprised.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm stingy, but I'm the only one earning money and I have to support two sons. I have to be very frugal!"
"Sure, Lao Du!"
Comrade Lao Du looked at his wife's surprised expression and understood why she was like that. As the head of the family, he had no choice. Now that life was better, he certainly didn't want to be as stingy as before.
Du Chen, who was listening nearby, had an idea.
"Dad, how did the talks at the repair shop go?"
"I'm talking to your dad about your fourth aunt. We'll talk about the repair shop later."
Du Chen's mother was unhappy, obviously feeling sorry for her sister.
"Mom, I'm talking about this because of my fourth aunt. Dad, how's the conversation going at the repair shop?"
Du Chen explained to his mother and continued to ask Comrade Lao Du.
"Mi Duan said that just writing a report will be enough, they have already held a meeting."
"Dad, are those mechanics in the repair shop still in the repair shop or have they been transferred?"
"Change your job. We're all regular employees. First, the company can't afford to pay you to keep them employed. Second, they don't want to stay in the repair shop."
"That's it, isn't it? Dad, let Fourth Uncle come over! Fourth Uncle can drive, he's hardworking, and we can trust him! Even if he says he can't repair the car, there's no problem with him helping out!"
"Yeah! I was just wondering where to hire someone!"
Comrade Lao Du slapped his thigh and said happily, "My brother-in-law has excellent character. He is honest and hardworking."
"Wait, Lao Du, I just heard you say you were planning to contract a repair shop, but I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly? Why didn't you discuss it with me? And what about your job?"
Du Chen's mother was a little surprised to hear the conversation between the father and son. There was so much information in it! She only knew that Lao Du was planning to contract the repair shop, but she didn't expect that he was just one step away from success!
When Comrade Lao Du saw that his wife was angry, he hurried to explain to her.
When Du Chen's mother heard that Lao Du still had to manage the fleet and earn a salary, she said nothing. The repair shop was just a side job; if it made money, that was even better. If it lost money, how much could it possibly lose? She figured the contract fee was just a formality.
"Alas, your Fourth Aunt is going to have a hard time! She has to take care of the children and the crops in the fields by herself."
Du Chen's mother sighed and said.
"Mom, ask Fourth Aunt to come over and help you look after the store!"
"You see, our shop is getting busier and busier. My brother and I still have to go to school, so sometimes you're just too busy to handle it! And when Fourth Aunt comes over, she and Fourth Uncle can stay in the shop and watch over the shop at night!"
Du Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and what he said was also true.
The store is getting busier and busier now. Du Chen's mother has to come early in the morning to wait for the children to go to school, and in the afternoon she has to buy groceries and prepare lunch...
Du Chen felt really sorry for his mother working around the clock, but there was nothing he could do at the beginning. This opportunity was just the right time to free his mother up and let her have some more time.
"Um, Dad, Mom, Chenchen, we still don't know why Fourth Aunt is here!"
Looking at the people who were getting more and more excited, Du Bin on the side weakly interrupted.
Du Chen, who was talking happily, suddenly stopped talking. Yes, they still didn’t know why Fourth Aunt came here?
"Never mind him, just do as Chenchen says. No matter what your Fourth Aunt is here for, according to what we said, isn't it better for her to stay in the village now? Besides, your brother Linlin is about to go to elementary school, and the Railway Elementary School is no better than the village elementary school!"
Du Chen's mother was stunned for a moment, then suddenly made a domineering decision. She had made up her mind to let her sister come over to help.
By doing this, I am helping my sister's family as well as my own family.
"Mom is awesome! I support you!"
Du Chen looked at his domineering mother and said in a funny way.
"Lao Du, Du Bin, what about you?"
The mother, in a good mood, watched Du Chen's funny behavior and cooperated with him for the first time. She turned around and asked Comrade Lao Du and Du Bin.
"Yeah, Mom, I support you too!"
"Wife, I listen to you!"
