Chapter 51: Companion



"Hello, Aunt Chu." Several children called out obediently.

"Hello, come in and sit for a while. Auntie just made some delicious food yesterday and said she would bring it to you today. I didn't expect you to come today. Come and try Auntie's cooking."

"Sister Yao, you don't have to be so welcoming every time we come. Just leave the food at home for Dabao and the others."

"Mrs. Chen, Dabao and the others are still young. They can't eat much. We can't let it go bad. It would be a waste if it went bad. It's better to let the children eat it."

Mrs. Chen looked at Chu Yao warmly entertaining her children and felt that the things she brought were not very valuable. But it didn't matter, Sister Yao never paid attention to these things.

I just need to bring more good things next time I come.

Chu Yao took out the milk tea and cheese she had made yesterday, as well as the remaining bread and other things, and placed them on the table, letting the children help themselves to them.

Chen Zeyuan, also known as the third child, watched the babies sleeping and no longer cared about the delicious food. The most important thing was to wake up his playmates to play with him.

Chen Zecheng and Chen Zeyan were seven or eight years old now, and had become more restrained. In addition, it was their first time at Chu Yao's house, so they were a little shy and didn't dare to do anything excessive.

Chu Yao and Mrs. Chen have already started chatting.

"Ayao, do you think the names I gave my children are very grand?"

Chu Yao nodded honestly. It was true that children nowadays were usually named something like "Jian Guo", "Ai Guo", "Ai Dang" and so on, which were very similar to the Zixuan, Zirui and Zixuan in later generations who were sold in batches.

"This is all thanks to Instructor Yao. One time, my family brought several children to work. The eldest one called our second child Erniu. Erniu felt embarrassed at the time and kept crying after returning home.

"Brother Chen just asked Instructor Yao, the most knowledgeable instructor in the unit, for advice on how to come up with a name. Don't even mention it, the moment I said it, the whole feeling changed."

"Indeed, it sounds very nice, and the meaning of this name is also different."

"Yes, this is all thanks to Instructor Yao. By the way, A-Yao, have you decided on names for Dabao and the others?"

Chu Yao then slapped her head and remembered this matter. Not to mention that she and Yang Hang really hadn't thought about this matter yet, it seems that this matter has to be put on the agenda.

"Mrs. Chen, now that you mention it, I just remembered that we also called them Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao. We were thinking of giving them a better name after school started."

"That's not too urgent, but since you two are educated, naming it is no problem."

Chu Yao laughed and reminded Chen Zecheng and Chen Zeyan to eat and told them not to be restrained.

"By the way, Mrs. Chen, when the time comes for the children to go to school, do they have to go to town?"

"Yes, our eldest and second son are going to school in town now, but it's a bit inconvenient. We have to send them there early in the morning, and they don't have time to come back for lunch. They can only come back in the evening to have a good meal, which is also a bit troublesome.

However, I also heard that a school is going to be built in our family compound, but I don’t know when it will be completed. Now Chen Zeyuan is about to start school, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.”

"If a school is built in our family compound, it will be much more convenient for children from nearby villages to go to school. When they grow up and go to junior high and high school in town, we won't have to worry about any dangers on the road."

"That's true. Didn't they say they were going to build some housing for family members near your place? They also said construction would begin in the spring, but it's almost May now, and no one has started work yet."

"Who says it's not? But if it's really built, it will probably be done very quickly. They hire professionals and it's usually done very quickly. It will be completed in a few months."

"I hope so. By the way, Sister Yao, can you take care of the children by yourself at night? If you are scared, I will accompany you for the next few days."

"Mrs. Chen, thank you so much. But you and I will sleep in the living room, and the children can sleep in the main room. How about that?"

"Alright, that's settled then. By the way, do you have enough quilts and other things at home? Even though it's almost May, it's still a bit chilly at night. I'm most afraid of catching a cold in this kind of weather."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Chen. I made several quilts to get through the winter, so they're definitely enough. You stay with the children first. I'll take them out to dry in the sun for a while, and they'll be ready to use in the evening."

"Let's go together. They'll feel uncomfortable if we adults are here."

Chen Zecheng and Chen Zeyan like Dabao and his friends very much, and now they are having fun together.

Chen Zecheng acts like an older brother, protecting his younger brothers and sisters, and Chen Zeyan is also very patient with Dabao and the others. It can be seen that Mrs. Chen is also very good at educating her children.

Being polite and not rummaging through other people's homes is already a model of a good child.

Chu Yao and Mrs. Chen went to the main room where the sewing machine was placed and took out two quilts from the cabinet. Fortunately, she would take a rest when she was tired here, and the room was tidy and clean.

"Sister Yao, you are very diligent. This house is spotlessly clean. But I also like the layout of your rooms and the layout of the yard. If they build a new house here in the future, I will ask our Lao Chen to apply for a house here as well."

"Sure, then we'll be neighbors, and it'll be very convenient to visit and do whatever we want."

"Yes, yes, the children can take care of each other in the future, and I can find a job then."
