When Old Qian’s wife saw Qian Qi and Qian Pan bringing back so many small cakes, her eyes narrowed.
"Captain Gu is so generous. He gave us so many cakes. They must be expensive if we buy them outside."
Old Qian’s wife gave one to each of her two younger daughters, took out two and put them aside, and put the rest away.
Qian Pan took a look at the small cake that Old Qian’s wife took out.
Lao Qian's wife brought another bowl over and soaked the small cake in hot water, preparing to feed it to Jiabao later.
Qian Pan felt relieved, but still a little sad because she knew that there would be no cake to eat when she returned.
Thinking of the fragrance of the cake, Qian Pan licked the corner of his mouth.
Qian Qi looked at the actions of Old Qian's wife, and saw Qian Pan licking the corner of his mouth, and felt very sad.
"Mom, there are a lot of cakes. Take out a few more so we can share."
Lao Qian's wife looked at the cake reluctantly, thought about it, and took out one.
Qian Qi: …
Qian Pan: ...
Qian Qi took the bag directly from Old Qian's wife and gave each person a small cake.
"Mom, this is what my aunt gave us. She also said she would make it for us if it's gone. Don't be too stingy."
Old Qian's wife looked at the cake in front of her and wanted to put it back into the bag, but Qian Qi stopped her. She said anxiously, "Qi Qi, your father is gone. We can't come to your house often, and we shouldn't ask for too many things. We don't have any favors to repay."
Lao Qian’s wife is just weak, not unreasonable. On the contrary, she is very concerned about her reputation.
"Mom, we've got the cake back. Let's share it. It won't taste good if it's left out for too long."
Qian Qi persuaded Old Qian's wife.
The most important thing is that she knows that if she doesn’t eat it this time, they might not be able to eat the whole bag of cake.
Except for Qian Jiabao, the other daughters all looked after Old Qian's wife.
"Okay, everyone eat." Lao Qian's wife gritted her teeth, picked up the small cake in front of her, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.
The girls looked at each other and each took a small bite.
Just now at Qi Mengmeng's house, Qian Qi ate a small cake, but she was so nervous at the time that she couldn't taste it at all.
Now when I take a bite of the cake, I feel a sweet fragrance in my mouth and I am reluctant to swallow it.
"This cake is delicious."
“There was an egg in it, and I tasted it.”
“It’s delicious.”
The two younger girls leaned their heads together and whispered quietly. They only took a small bite of the cake in their hands, looking very reluctant to leave.
Lao Qian’s wife also tasted the egg. After eating one, she actually wanted to eat a second one because it tasted so good.
She couldn't help but ask Qian Qi: "Qi Qi, you said that this cake was made by your Aunt Gu herself?"
"Yes, that's what Aunt Gu said." Qian Qi nodded.
"Your Aunt Gu is so smart. She's a college student and can even bake cakes." Old Qian's wife said this with envy on her face.
She looked at her two little daughters and said, "You two should study hard and get into college in the future."
The two younger daughters knew that they would have good jobs if they got into college, so they nodded quickly.
Qian Qi's first reaction was to look at Qian Pan. Qian Pan bit his lower lip and held the cake in his hand without eating it.
"Mom, Panpan is still young, let Panpan go to school too." Qian Qi suddenly spoke.
Old Qian's wife looked at Qian Pan in surprise: "Pan Pan wants to go to school, but when I asked you before, you said you couldn't go?"
Qian Pan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"Mom, if both of us go to work, we will have enough money at home to spend. Let Panpan go to school. If Panpan is admitted to high school, it will be easier for her to find a job in the future."
Qian Qi thought of what Gu Guizhi said and took the initiative to speak.
Old Qian's wife was a little embarrassed: "But we both have to go to work, your third and fourth sisters have to go to school, no one will take care of Jiabao, and there are still so many things to do at home."
Washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning the house, although these chores are not complicated, they take up a lot of time.
The light in Qian Pan's eyes disappeared, and she whispered, "Or, I won't go to school anymore, I can just work at home."
Her voice was too soft and Old Qian's wife could hear her reluctance, but this was the situation at home and there was nothing she could do.
"Panpan, you've worked hard for two years. When you get married, I'll prepare more dowry for you." Old Qian's wife comforted Qian Pan.
Qian Pan hummed softly, and the cake in her hand was crushed, with some crumbs falling to the ground through her fingers.
Qian Qi didn't know what to say for a moment. She had just thought that Qian Pan didn't want to go to school, but she didn't expect that it was his own mother who didn't allow him to go.
"Mom, let Panpan go to school. We will take turns taking Jiabao to work. Whoever comes home earlier will cook. In a few years, Jiabao will go to school too."
Qian Qi saw the cake in Qian Pan's hand. Gu Guizhi wanted to give her money because she felt sorry for Qian Pan. As her biological sister, how could she stop Qian Pan from going to school?
Qian Pan suddenly looked up at Qian Qi, tears welling up in his eyes.
Qian Qi said to Qian Pan, "Pan Pan, when you get there, study hard and try to get into high school. If you can get into college, I will definitely support you."
Qian Pan nodded vigorously: "Sister, I will definitely study hard. I will come back immediately after school to cook and wash clothes. I won't let you get tired."
Qian Xiang and Qian Meng also said, "Mom, let our second sister go to school. We can also help with cooking and washing clothes."
All four daughters agreed, and Mr. Qian's wife had no way of saying no, but she still stated the actual situation in advance.
"Qiqi, we are both in the workshop every day. It is noisy and chaotic. What if Jiabao cries when he goes there?"
Even if they are willing to take Jiabao to work, I am afraid the factory will not agree.
Qian Pan rushed to say, "I took Jiabao to school. When I was in the village before, some people took their younger brothers and sisters to school."
I just don’t know if schools in the city allow it.
Qian Qi thought about it and decided that he could go ask the school.
Although there is no way to stop Jiabao from crying, the environment in school is always much better than that in the factory.
At worst, the three sisters can take turns taking Jiabao to school.
As long as Jiabao is well fed and well watered, he is an obedient child.
In fact, very few children of this generation are particularly crybaby, because the adults are busy supporting the family and the older children take care of the younger ones.
There are very few children who are born to cry without someone to coax them or hold them.
So the matter was settled. Tomorrow when Mr. Qian's wife goes to work, she will ask Qian Qi for a morning off. Qian Qi will take Qian Pan to the nearby junior high school to ask.
In fact, at the beginning, when the army gave Qian and Qian Meng to arrange elementary school, they also arranged junior high school for Qian Pan. However, after Qian's wife asked Qian Pan privately, she refused.
Qian Qi took the money and went to the class to enroll, which was not difficult at all.
Qian Pan also told the teacher that she would bring her younger brother to school in the future, but she promised that as long as her younger brother cried, she would take him out of the classroom to ensure that he would not affect the studies of other students.
