"Come in!" Xiao Yu couldn't speak, so he could only pull the arm of Gangzi, who was leading the group, to signal them to come in, otherwise he was afraid they would not come in.
To be honest, the cleanliness inside the gate did make Gangzi and his group hesitate. But Xiao Yu's sudden serious expression made them think of Brother Zhou.
However, before entering the door, Gangzi still pulled Yingzi and Yanzi, who were holding the children, and said, "Brother Xiao, these two children are, are our teacher's children."
Teacher? Xiao Yu was puzzled, and then looked at the children held by the two girls. One was at most three years old, and the other seemed to be only one or two months old.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu asked with his eyes.
Gangzi and his group lowered their heads.
Xiao Yu knew that something was up, so he invited everyone in again. This time, perhaps noticing someone peeking in the alley, Gangzi and his group stopped insisting and went into the yard obediently.
Xiao Yu closed the courtyard gate and led the group through the second gate. When they were about to enter the Chuihua Gate, the group stopped again.
Gangzi hesitated and said, "Brother Xiao, the house over here is pretty good. Can we, can we live here?"
☆
Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and pretended to take something out. He pulled out an art book and a marker from his pocket and quickly wrote, "You and your brother Zhou are really in sync!"
Gangzi: "What do you mean?"
"Your brother Zhou said you definitely wouldn't live in the main courtyard with us. So we've arranged for you in the back house early this morning. I brought you into the courtyard just to get you something to eat first. How about you put your luggage there?"
Gangzi nodded happily: "Okay, okay. Brother Xiao, which room do you think I should stay in?"
Xiao Yu pointed to the back house and the room next to the gate and wrote, "There are six rooms here. Your brother Zhou said that the two rooms with courtyards are for the girls to live in, and the other four rooms can be arranged by you boys."
"Four rooms?" the monkey exclaimed. "Four rooms for us?"
Xiao Yu nodded and wrote quickly, "If the house isn't big enough even if we divide it equally, your brother Zhou can give you a room each."
"Hehe, that's too luxurious!" A smile finally appeared in the dead and dull eyes of a group of children.
Xiao Yu felt a little upset. What kind of a big thing must have happened to make a group of sunny young men look so desperate?
☆
"Okay, I didn't lock the door, you can take a look for yourselves. By the way, there are new quilts and new clothes in the room, which were also prepared by your brother Zhou. Don't be scared!" After Xiao Yu finished writing, he drew a big smiley face.
When a group of children saw what he wrote, their eyes instantly turned red.
Xiao Yu pretended to be in a state of confusion: "Are you so touched? Hurry up, put the things away, I'll treat you to dumplings. Your brother Zhou made them a few days ago and was waiting for you to come."
“…”
"By the way, who can light the fire for me?"
"Me." The monkey raised his hand. The thin, outstretched arm and fingers were frightening, irritating Xiao Yu's eyes once again.
Xiao Yu wrote: "Then hurry up and put the luggage away. Boil some water first so everyone can wash up and eat later."
Everyone did not move, but bowed to Xiao Yu: "Thank you, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Yu smiled and wrote, "Just don't call me a little fool."
The group of children suddenly felt embarrassed, but the atmosphere was obviously much better.
Xiao Yu waved his hand, urging them to hurry up.
☆
Gangzi quickly made arrangements. Since there were seven boys, one had to sleep alone. Gangzi chose the single room to the right of the gate, and the other children did not make any suggestions.
Monkey, who had to help boil water, hurriedly opened a door, dropped his small bag, and ran out without even looking inside. Yingzi, holding the child, led the other girls into the courtyard at the end of the back house. Inside was a small courtyard with a water tank for washing and a separate toilet.
"Sister Yingzi, Sister Yanzi, you, look, this, is this a toilet?" Que'er exclaimed after accidentally pushing open the bathroom door.
Yingzi and Yanzi took a look and their eyes widened. They had never seen such a high-end toilet with a pool inside where they could take a bath!
However, when they entered the house, they were even more surprised. Although the windows in this house were not big, it was clean and spacious, even larger than the four-person dormitory in the army.
There are two wooden beds, one on each side, with a curtain in the middle to cover them. There are new quilts on the beds, and there are thermos and wardrobe in the room.
"Wow..." Xiaolian couldn't hold back her tears and squatted on the ground and started crying.
Yan Zi quickly kicked her and said sternly, "Don't cry. You've ruined all your good fortune by crying."
"Wow, Brother Zhou is so nice. I, I don't want to implicate him." Xiaolian cried.
Yingzi looked at the tidy room, which had obviously been carefully cleaned, and the neatly arranged quilt, which was obviously folded by Brother Zhou, and her eyes began to turn red.
☆
There was already a fire in the pot, and with Monkey's skillful operation, a large pot of water was quickly boiled. In another pot, Xiao Yu also put dumplings.
He didn't serve too much. He could tell that the children hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and he was afraid that their stomachs wouldn't be able to handle too much greasy food at once.
Under Gangzi's arrangement, a group of children quickly washed their hands and faces.
Xiao Yu wrote on the paper, "I guess you didn't eat much along the way, so I dare not give you too much. Just make do with lunch. Eat more at night, and I'll treat you to a big dinner in a few days. Your brother Zhou's grandfather is a high-ranking official. He even arranged jobs for Gangzi and Yingzi, regular employees. The others are too young, so those who are fifteen will have temporary jobs for now. Those younger than that won't be able to work. You can only rely on your brothers and sisters for support for now. Oh, and you still have to go to school."
