the next day.
After having breakfast, Xie Zhengchuan rode his bicycle to work. Aunt Xu was also sent over by Xuzhou. After sending her there, he went to the bureau again.
Su Li happened to be clearing the dishes, and Jing Yu and the others were being watched by Li Dan and the others. Aunt Xu knew at a glance that the children were afraid that Su Li would be tired.
She hurriedly took the bowl and chopsticks from Su Li.
"Xiao Su, take a rest. I'll let Auntie do this job."
"Auntie, you've worked hard all day. You can rest at home tomorrow."
Aunt Xu waved her hand and said, "No, it's time to rest. There's nothing to do at home. It's better to stay here with your mother to look after the children and chat. It's better not to kick."
Su Li said, "Auntie, you can take a break whenever you want. I'm thinking about my children at home, so I'm thinking about you, right?"
"Why do you want me? Hey, my eldest grandson, his father, and a few uncles are all doing odd jobs. My daughters-in-law are at home taking care of the children. They won't be a problem."
Su Li really liked Aunt Xu. She thought that the cannery had just added a few machines and would definitely need to hire people. Also, the furniture factory had received more orders recently. The master craftsman had told her twice that he was going to start recruiting apprentices.
Su Li thought secretly as she watched Aunt Xu busying around.
In fact, Aunt Xu knew what Su Li was doing, but she had helped her get a job, and she couldn't let her arrange jobs for all the unemployed people in her family. That would be too conscienceless. People should be content with what they have.
After Aunt Xu was done with her work, Su Li pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"Auntie, come and sit down. I have something to talk to you about."
"What are you doing, Xiao Su? I don't know what the kids are doing. I want to go and take a look." Aunt Xu really treats her kids like her treasures.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I heard Xuzhou mention it before. His brothers and sister-in-law are all doing odd jobs now. His eldest nephew is also unemployed. I have a clothing factory, but it's in the countryside. The salary is not low. My brother's canning factory is also recruiting. I heard that your grandson graduated from junior high school. If he doesn't mind, he can go to my furniture factory as an apprentice. He can help out when he learns."
Aunt Xu was pleasantly surprised at first, then she waved her hands again and again, "That's not right, it won't work, Xiao Su, the job you gave me has helped our family a lot, you don't have to worry, they have odd jobs now and can make money."
Aunt Xu, even if her life was a little hard, she refused to let Su Li help her. One reason was that she had been with Xie Zhengchuan for her whole life and had been taken care of. Xie Zhengchuan had mentioned this before, but Xuzhou was afraid that her family would cause trouble for Xie Zhengchuan, so she gritted her teeth and said that her family was doing quite well.
If Xie Zhengchuan hadn't seen that he had too many children at home to take care of, he would never have recommended his mother to come over.
Su Li: "Auntie, you don't have to think so much. The work in the cannery is not easy either. The work in the furniture factory also requires learning from scratch. The garment factory is not under my control. I just recommend them, but I can't make the final decision. If the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Xu family are good, they will definitely be kept. If they are not suitable, it's okay. It won't affect their odd jobs. And there is your eldest grandson. If he is not suitable, I will not want him. Don't worry too much."
Aunt Xu felt relieved when she heard Su Li say that. She was afraid that her son and daughter-in-law would be arranged to work by Su Li directly. If so, it would cause trouble for Su Li.
"Is this too much trouble for you, Xiao Su?"
"It's okay, ma'am. The factory is hiring anyway, so we should recruit the best people regardless of our relationship with them."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Su."
"No, ma'am."
"I...I'll go see the kids first. If there's anything to do, your aunt can do it."
"Okay, Auntie, go ahead and do your work. I just want to make something delicious for the children while they are in their room."
Aunt Xu thanked him twice more and then hurried to see the children. Su Li rested on the sofa for a while and then went to the kitchen. She first took out the delicious ingredients to be made in the afternoon and started to prepare.
After finishing, Su Li returned to her room. After playing with Jingyu and the others for a while, the children became sleepy. Aunt Xu, Li Ruiying and Li Dan started to urge her to go to rest. Su Li had no choice but to go to Baoya's room to sleep.
Li Ruiying slept until noon. She was about to roll up her sleeves, put on an apron and go to cook. Su Li stopped her immediately.
"Hey, Mom, please stop working so hard. Take a rest. I'll go cook."
"Why should I rest? You should take a rest. Mom is not tired. Go look after the kids. I will cook."
Su Li grabbed the apron and stood up.
"Mom, you don't have to cook. You must be very tired every day. Shitou said yesterday that he wanted to eat pan-fried dumplings. I prepared the noodles and stuffing this morning. I also bought rice noodles a few days ago. I will make rice noodles for everyone at noon."
"Okay, go ahead. Mom also wants to eat the rice noodles you make. They are so delicious."
"Okay, mother, you go back to your room and rest for a while, and let Aunt Xu rest for a while as well. The meal will be ready soon."
Su Li went into the kitchen and started cooking. She took a pot and a half of pan-fried dumplings from the space, and used the broth from the space store to cook a large pot of rice noodles. She added vegetables, kelp and bean curd, and fried a few eggs on top.
The red and green colors looked very appetizing. Su Li brought the rice noodles and pan-fried dumplings to the living room and called people to eat.
She rested for more than two hours and now has enough energy.
"You guys eat first, I'll watch the kids." Li Ruiying looked at the fragrant rice noodles in the bowl, and Shitou and the others also sat up and started eating the rice noodles and pan-fried buns.
Aunt Xu had never eaten pan-fried dumplings and rice noodles, but when she smelled the delicious food and thought that Su Li's cooking skills were impeccable, she took a bite and it was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.
The people of all ages at the table devoured the food in no time. Su Li was also happy to see that everyone liked the rice noodles she made.
Hu Zi and Shi Tou ate and lay down on the sofa, sighing.
Su Li gave each of the two children a digestive tablet.
Even though he was so full, Hu Zi was still thinking about spicy noodles and egg yolk crisps. Su Li said helplessly, not knowing when this child learned the gluttony from his second uncle.
In the afternoon, Su Li started to make delicious food. As for cakes, a lot of things were needed, which was not convenient to make in this era. She took out a piece of old-fashioned cake from the space, left one piece for Xie Zhengchuan, and the rest was enough for her and the children.
Egg yolk crisps and spicy strips are easy to make, Su Li thought about it and started to get busy.
Su Li started to knead the dough. During the process of letting the dough rest, she began to prepare the ingredients for the spicy strips. In addition to the spicy strips and egg yolk crisps, Su Li also fried a lot of chicken legs and made a pot of milk tea.
When Aunt Xu was eating in the evening, Su Li packed a lot of spicy noodles for her. When Xie Zhengchuan returned home, he looked solemn.
After the children washed up and went to bed, Xie Zhengchuan closed the door, looked at Su Li very seriously and said, "Don't go out during this period of time. I have also asked for leave from school for the children."
Su Li was startled when she heard this. "Did something happen?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen."
