Chapter 602: The Stimulation from Liu Ziwang
After saying hello, Xiaoliu ran back to his room to read picture books.
Liu Ziwang bought a lot of picture books, including "Lin Hai Xue Yuan", "Red Sun", "The Visitor on the Iceberg"... Xiaoliu fell in love with them at first sight.
Xu Zijin changed his shoes and went upstairs, and soon came down with a few sets of clothes.
"Yuzhu, Xiaoliu, these are the clothes I brought for you last time I went to the capital. Go try them on."
When the brother and sister heard this, they ran over like the wind and went into the house with the clothes in their hands.
Soon, the brother and sister came out again.
Lu Yuzhu's were two skirts.
One is white with blue flowers, the other is pink with small white dots, both are made of cotton silk, but in different styles.
One is a pleated skirt with a baby doll collar, and the other is a flared skirt with puff sleeves, which are the main new products for little girls this summer.
The little girl is fourteen years old. She is growing as fast as her brothers and is already 1.6 meters tall.
"Sister-in-law, I love it so much! It fits me so well!"
Lu Yuzhu jumped and turned, the joy on her face coming from the bottom of her heart.
"Sister-in-law, mine fits too, I like it too."
Boys don’t care so much about clothes, but Xiaoliu is still very happy to have new clothes to wear.
Seeing that her younger brother and sister liked it, Xu Zijin was also very happy. She held the tea bowl and drank the honeysuckle tea while saying, "The sandals are under the cabinet in your sister's room. Take them yourself."
"Ahhh! Sister-in-law, I love you so much!"
Lu Yuzhu screamed and ran into the house.
The brother and sister had new clothes and new shoes. Looking at her own old clothes and shoes, Xu Qiuling felt very uncomfortable.
"Cousin Qiu Ling, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry."
Xu Qiuling knew that even if her cousin's wife knew she was coming, she might not buy it for her.
Who would buy clothes for someone else for no reason?
Or is it her, the one who came over without saying hello?
"Cousin, I can't take your clothes. I came here to trouble you in the first place."
"I'm sorry, cousin. I came here uninvited. I'm sorry."
"I came here to find a job. You know my family's situation. If I go back, I will have to get married early."
"My mother is the kind of person who will let me marry whoever gives the most betrothal gifts."
Well said, I hope he's a good person too.
Xu Zijin nodded: "I understand you, but this is also the countryside, it's really hard to find a job."
"Then tell me, what can you do?"
Xu Qiuling really wanted to stay. She stammered:
"I can do anything, take care of the kids, clean the house, cook, take care of the elderly, anything is fine."
"As long as I have food to eat and a salary, I don't care what I do."
In this case, you can still find a job.
Xu Zijin knew that since Xu Qiuling had come, it was unlikely that she would go back easily.
"Then I'll help you find out, but the salary won't be too high."
"My cousin used to take care of the children at her relative's house, doing the laundry and cooking, for 20 yuan a month, including food and accommodation. Can you accept this salary?"
Twenty dollars a month, including food and lodging?
Xu Qiuling's heart was pounding, and she nodded repeatedly: "I can accept it, I can accept it. I'll leave it to my cousin's wife."
Xu Zijin said calmly: "I can't guarantee it, I can just ask for you, I don't know whether I can find it or not."
Xu Qiuling pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, cousin-in-law. You've worked hard."
"You're welcome."
Perhaps to show off, Xu Qiuling was particularly diligent and rushed to cook the evening dishes.
However, Xu Zijin didn't let her do it.
In the evening, there was tofu, fish, eggs, and some vegetables.
Xu Zijin cooked a braised fish, a spicy shrimp, a poached egg with tofu, an amaranth, and a dried shrimp gourd.
"I didn't buy any good food today, so I'll give you some extra food tomorrow."
Not ready yet?
Xu Qiuling was stunned by the Lu family's sumptuous dinner.
Even during Chinese New Year, her family didn't eat so well except for a bowl of meat.
Lu Yuzhu and Xiaoliu also think so.
If my eldest brother and sister-in-law had not gone back for the Spring Festival last year, they would have had meat to eat just like in previous years.
But even so, the New Year has passed for a long time, and now even the lard in the house has been eaten up.
Not to mention such good food.
Especially this spicy shrimp, it is so fragrant and looks delicious at first glance.
Xiaoliu couldn't help it: "Sister-in-law, can I eat now?"
Xu Zijin smiled softly: "Let's eat!"
You won’t feel it until you eat it, but once you eat it, you will know how delicious this dish is.
They hadn’t had such delicious food for months. Xiaoliu and Lu Yuzhu didn’t say anything and just focused on eating.
"Is it tasty?"
Looking at the brother and sister wolfing down the food, Xu Zijin asked with a smile.
Xiao Liu held a mouthful of food in his mouth and nodded continuously: "Mm, delicious, very delicious."
"Sister-in-law, my mother's cooking is not as delicious as yours."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yulan glared at her brother and said, "You glutton, be careful not to let mother hear you."
Xiaoliu made a face: "Mom can't hear me, mom is at home!"
"Hahaha"
Xu Zijin was also amused. This brother-in-law was a naughty boy.
But it's quite cute.
The family ate happily, and the three Liu Ziwang brothers quickly moved out their bicycles.
"Uncle Six, let's go play."
The children came back late and had not taken out their bicycles to play with them yet, so Xiaoliu didn’t see them.
When he saw the bicycle, he opened his mouth and couldn't close it.
“Is this a bicycle too?”
Liu Ziwang nodded: "Yes, my mother gave it to us as a reward."
"I took first place in my class last semester, and my younger brothers are excellent students. This is also a prize given to us by our mother."
"Uncle Six, you promised to get the Three Good Students Award during the Chinese New Year. Did you get it?"
Hearing this, Xiaoliu lowered his head.
(pq)
Looking at Sixth Uncle's expression, Liu Ziwang scratched his head: Did he ask something wrong?
"Xiao Liu, did you not do well in the exam?"
Xu Zijin asked.
Xiaoliu looked up at his sister-in-law with a blushing face.
"Sister-in-law, I...I didn't get the title of Three Good Students..."
At this time, Lu Yuzhu took over the conversation: "Sister-in-law, Xiaoliu has improved by twenty places. This time he is ranked eleventh in the class."
oh?
Xu Zijin was surprised: "Of course, Xiaoliu, you are amazing."
"Such great progress shows that you have worked very hard."
"Not bad, not bad, I have to give you a reward."
"Sister-in-law, here is an electronic watch. I brought it from Guangdong Province. I'll give it to you as a reward."
"Wait, I'll get it for you."
watch?
He also has a watch?
At this moment, Lu Xiaoliu's eyes instantly lit up like stars in the sky...
Soon, Xu Zijin brought the electronic watch.
This is a black men's watch, but it is a child's watch and a very cute style.
It is purely electronic.
In later times, one piece would only cost about sixty or seventy yuan.
There are various styles of electronic watches in Guangdong and other provinces now, and this one won’t be too eye-catching.
Xiaoliu put it on his hand and put it to his ear and listened to it again and again, as if he still couldn't believe that he had become the owner of a watch.
He touched it again and again: "Sister-in-law, this is very expensive, right?"
"There's no sound at all. Is it made of gold inside?"
