The next morning, after having breakfast, Jia Dongsheng was having a heart-to-heart talk with Banggeng.
"Bang Geng, Second Uncle is telling you, we are the only two men in the family now, and we must shoulder our responsibilities as men."
Jia Dongsheng said calmly, "So, I'll leave the task of taking care of your sister to you."
Banggeng was completely confused at this time. He finally got to Saturday and didn't have to go to school, but Jia Dongsheng drafted him in to take care of his younger sister. How could he have time to play?
"Uncle, but I want to go out and play?" Banggeng said a little aggrievedly.
"You can play, too. Bring your sister along."
Now Xiaodang is only two years old and can go out to play, but he doesn’t understand anything and can’t play with Banggeng.
"Xiaodang doesn't know anything, how can he play?"
"Xiao Dang'er doesn't know how to play, but you do. Just teach your sister what you play."
Jia Dongsheng said nonchalantly, "Your mother is pregnant, your grandmother is in poor health, and I, your second uncle, have to go to work. If I don't give the responsibility of taking care of your sister to you, the second man in the family, then who should I give it to?"
"Okay, then I'll take my sister out to play."
Perhaps because he felt that Jia Dongsheng was right, Banggeng thought for a long time before nodding.
"That's right."
Jia Dongsheng smiled with some relief: "Wait until Second Uncle gets off work tonight, and then I'll make you something delicious. But you'd better remember not to let your sister get hurt. If I find out, not only will I not have any delicious food, I'll also have to beat you up."
"I understand, Uncle." Banggeng replied.
Xiaodang, who was standing by, laughed and followed Jia Dongsheng's example, saying thank you, "Thank you, second uncle."
"Okay, let's go out and play."
Seeing Banggeng holding Xiaodang'er's hand and going out to play, Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "It's okay. This child can still be taught."
At this moment, Sha Zhu's voice came from outside: "Dongsheng, it's time to go to work, let's go."
Jia Dongsheng checked the time. It was a little after nine. He slowly walked out. "Shazhu, you go first. Ask the kitchen to prepare dried tofu today. I'm going to make a famous Northeastern dish, dried tofu with spicy peppers."
"So when do you go to work?"
Seeing that Jia Dongsheng was not going to go with him, Sha Zhu was a little disappointed. He had wanted to take a ride with Jia Dongsheng.
"For me, it's about 11 o'clock. Why go so early?" Jia Dongsheng smiled indifferently.
"Eleven?"
Sha Zhu's eyes widened immediately: "Dongsheng, you go to work so late, aren't you afraid that Lao Fang will give you trouble?"
"What trouble are you looking for me for?"
Jia Dongsheng said with a half-smile: "This is the condition we agreed on before, otherwise I wouldn't go to work in the factory."
"Okay, you can do it."
Sha Zhu gave a thumbs up. He only admired Jia Dongsheng.
"Dongsheng, when can I be like you and go to work after 11 o'clock?"
"You can do it now, no one is stopping you."
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I go after 11 o'clock, Lao Fang will definitely deduct my salary. How will I support my sister then?"
Sha Zhu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going to work now, you can rest at home."
What he said was so enviable, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't have the skills, and the factory wouldn't give him such a wide range of freedom.
Although Sha Zhu sometimes acts stupid, he is very smart most of the time. On his way to work, he is thinking about how to improve his skills quickly.
Sha Zhu admitted that he was a little envious of Jia Dongsheng.
Seeing Sha Zhu go to work, Jia Dongsheng returned to the house and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm going out for a while to think about dinner. I'll be back soon.
"Aren't you bringing back dinner from the factory?" Jia Zhangshi still felt the delicious taste of the braised chicken nuggets that Jia Dongsheng brought back last night. She was now very much looking forward to the dishes that Jia Dongsheng would bring back in the evening.
"I can only bring back food if the factory has hospitality dishes. If not, I definitely can't bring it back."
Jia Dongsheng asked, "If we can't bring it back from the factory, will we have to wait for dinner?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Dongsheng, be careful when you go out." Qin Huairu said with concern before Jia Dongsheng left.
"I understand, sister-in-law."
After leaving the house, Jia Dongsheng pushed his bicycle to the front yard and saw Yan Fugui holding a fishing rod and preparing to go out.
"Uncle San, what are you doing?"
"Let's go fishing. Do you want to go with us?"
While speaking, Yan Fugui's eyes were fixed on Jia Dongsheng's bicycle, and the envy in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"I have to go to work soon, so let's do it tomorrow. I'll take a day off tomorrow and go fishing with you, Uncle San."
"That's great! I can take your car and save myself the trouble of walking there and back again."
Hearing this, Yan Fugui was a little disappointed, but when he thought about being able to ride a bicycle to go fishing tomorrow, he felt like he was getting a good deal, and his mood improved.
"Uncle, your eyes are about to fall out."
"Hehe." Yan Fugui's smile was more or less awkward when teased by Jia Dongsheng.
"You like bicycles so much, why don't you buy one?"
Anyone who has watched the drama knows that there were three bicycles in the courtyard, one for He Yushui, one for Xu Damao, and one for Yan Fugui.
The one He Yushui owned was probably bought by Sha Zhu, while the one Xu Damao owned was provided by the factory so that Xu Damao could show movies in the countryside.
Yan Fugui bought his bicycle with money he saved up bit by bit.
Not only does he have a bicycle, a radio, and a pocket watch, he also has a sewing machine at home. Although life is difficult for a family of six with just one person's salary, he can save up so much money by relying on daily calculations. It can be seen that Yan Fugui is still very capable.
"I'm saving money. When I have enough, I'll buy a bicycle."
Yan Fugui had a smiling expression, but his eyes were a little empty, as if he was thinking about the day when he rode a bicycle.
"Third Uncle, I have to say something to you about this."
"What did you say about me?" Yan Fugui looked at Jia Dongsheng curiously.
"Look, you go fishing every week, especially during the summer vacation. If you had a bicycle, you would save a lot of time on the way back and forth."
Jia Dongsheng did the math for Yan Fugui: "If you had a bicycle earlier, you could have used the time you saved to go fishing and sell the fish for money. I think if you had bought a bicycle earlier, the money you earned from selling fish would have paid for the bicycle."
"Yeah?"
Jia Dongsheng's words were like the sound of a huge bell, awakening the mind. Yan Fugui couldn't help but think deeply. If he had a bicycle, he could use it to go fishing, saving the time of walking back and forth. How many more fish could he catch over the years?
The more Yan Fugui thought about it, the more his heart ached. He felt like he had missed out on 100 million!
