Startled, Yao's mother raised her hand to slap Yao Tongjia, but Xiao Gengwu quickly pulled Yao Tongjia aside and placed his back under Yao's mother's hand.
Yao's mother: "......"
Xiao Yan: "..."
Yao Tongjia quickly explained, "We didn't go to the black market; this money was earned by Xiao Gengwu as a translator!"
Upon hearing the translation, both Yao Ma and Xiao Yan gaped in surprise: "When did he learn translation?"
Yao Tongjia pulled Xiao Gengwu to sit down: "He learns everything quickly. He can recite an entire English dictionary backwards. What can't he translate?"
Yao Ma Xiao Yan: I have no way to refute what you said!
Knowing that the three of them hadn't eaten dinner yet, I quickly boiled water and made a quick and easy noodle soup with wheat flour, adding some pork and fresh vegetables.
With such pure handmade white flour and a rich wheat aroma, it's incredibly delicious. Even Yao Tongjia, who has eaten so many delicious things in modern times, felt that this dumpling soup was absolutely amazing at this moment!
After eating, drinking, washing up, and going to bed, they realized a problem: their blankets were all in the county. Fortunately, the weather wasn't that cold yet.
Xiao Yan, Yao Ma, and Yao Tongjia shared a bed, while Xiao Gengwu and Yao Tongxu shared another. This way, the sleeping arrangements were somewhat resolved, though Yao Tongjia felt a little uneasy.
I have a lot of fabric in my own space, but I don't know how to take it out. Fortunately, they are translating and have fabric coupons, so I can take out the fabric later.
Yao's mother slept next to Yao Tongjia and covered her with a thin blanket. The weather was not cold yet, but the temperature at night was still quite low.
Yao Tongjia was a little dazed. How long had it been since she had slept with her mother? It seemed like she had her own room ever since she could walk.
Yao's mother even stretched out her foot to feel Yao's feet, probably to see if they were cold. This action suddenly made Yao Tongjia's eyes well up with tears.
This mother, who lacks assertiveness but loves her child dearly, is someone I must find a way to free her from heavy labor; buying her a yard is essential.
As she was thinking, Yao Tongjia fell asleep. She dreamed that she was in her mother's belly, wrapped up in warmth. Her heart was at peace like never before, and she slept very, very soundly!
The next morning, when Yao Tongjia woke up, she was the only one sleeping. When she came out of the room, Xiao Gengwu was translating at the dining table.
Yao Tongjia straightened her clothes, walked over and sat down: "Don't work so hard! It's good to go out for a walk!"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "I like making money!"
Yao Tongjia: "......" Did I lead a genius astray?
After having breakfast, Yao Tongjia thought for a moment and went to the medical room. As soon as she entered the medical room, she saw three people surrounding her master. Was her master training a new person?
Xiao Yan saw Yao Tongjia beckon her to sit down: "Have you had breakfast?"
Yao Tongjia sat down and nodded: "Have we eaten? So many people?"
"The captain asked me to help train three people. He thinks we won't stay here long after you all went to the county!" Xiao Yan looked at the two women and one man.
"I don't hold anything back; I teach them everything. How much they learn depends on their individual comprehension abilities!"
Yao Tongjia immediately understood. Her master was telling her that she had worked very hard to teach her before, but for these few, how much they learned depended on their own cleverness, and she would not take on the title of master.
Yao Tongjia saw them organizing the medicine cabinet, so she went over to help. There were quite a few missing items: "Master, are you coming with us this time to buy medicine?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "Many people have caught colds recently, and a lot of medicine is being used. We can't find some key medicines in the mountains here, so we still have to go and buy them."
When the two returned to the courtyard, Yao's mother had not yet come back. Xiao Yan immediately went into the kitchen, and Yao Tongjia followed to help: "Mom has been coming home very late lately?"
"The autumn harvest is coming soon, it's going to be quite tiring, your mother's baby face is about to break!" Xiao Yan said as she quickly started cooking.
Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Master, you and my mother are both college graduates, why did you come here? Wouldn't it have been better to find a job in the county?"
When Yao Tongjia asked Xiao Yan this question, she seemed a little dazed. Yes! She didn't seem to have thought about finding a job in the county town. With her skills, it shouldn't be difficult for her to find a job in the county town, right?
However, that was just her thought. At that time, the two of them left Beijing in a sorry state, with three children, all of whom were not very strong.
They had endured countless hardships, and all they wanted was to come to this place their parents had told them about, hoping to settle down as soon as possible.
Besides, the county town wasn't stable back then, and you might not be able to find a job there.
On the contrary, these two gentle and beautiful young women, without a man by their side, are easily taken away by some people with ulterior motives, and that would be truly a case of crying out to heaven and earth in vain.
Hearing Xiao Yan's analysis, Yao Tongjia realized that she had been thinking too simply. In the turbulent past ten years, coming here was indeed the best way to save her life!
"You and my mom are in different majors, how did you two meet?" Yao Tongjia asked curiously.
Xiao Yan and Yao Yanxin met in college. They were not in the same major, but they lived in the same dormitory, simply because very few girls go to college.
There are 12 people in their dormitory, and none of them are from the same major.
They have similar personalities and are both pampered at home, so they don't fuss over small things like others.
They argued endlessly over the smallest things, but later they both married and worked in Beijing, and their relationship became even better.
Unexpectedly, the two of them shared the same fate, and together they left Beijing in a sorry state with their children. At that moment, the two of them truly embraced and wept bitterly!
And so we ended up here, supporting each other through life. Now that I think about it, what is the point of marriage? It's not as good as having best friends who can always be there for each other and offer warmth.
When Yao's mother came in, looking tired, she saw that the food was already on the table and smiled: "It's so nice to have food waiting for me when I come back!"
Yao Tongjia hurriedly went to help get water for her mother to wash up and tidied her hair, saying, "Mom, we have money now, so don't work so hard."
Seeing her daughter busy taking care of her, Yao's mother felt very happy, and she couldn't stop smiling: "I don't work like crazy, I only get five or six work points. You can't ask me to do ten!"
Hearing her mother's teasing words, Yao Tongjia couldn't laugh in her heart: "How about I see if I can buy a house in the county and move the whole family there?"
These words made Yao Ma and Xiao Yan's eyes light up, but they both shook their heads at the same time.
Xiao Yan picked up some food and handed it to her friend: "We can't expect you kids to support us!"
