Chapter 431 Kongming Lantern
Si Jinchen, Ma Yang and Liu Yueya have gained greater confidence in the modified guns since they watched the demonstration of the new guns last time.
Now the three of them hang out in the next room after class.
Juanjuan was making various lanterns with Bailing and the others.
The housekeepers like to spend time with Juanjuan very much. After making the lantern frame, they let Juanjuan make stickers and draw on them.
It makes each lantern colorful and beautiful.
"Miss, it would be a shame if we couldn't sell all these lanterns." Bailing hung a finished lantern on a rack nearby to dry the glue on it.
"No, these are for the brothers and sisters in the orphanage." Juanjuan planned to go to the orphanage in the afternoon to give these lanterns to them.
We also prepared Kongming lanterns for them so that they could write their wishes on them during the New Year and let the gods in heaven know.
Bailing and the others all had smiles on their faces. No one in their family would forget their young lady, and everyone had a gift.
When Siming came back, he saw them all in the same room: "Are they all starting to work separately?"
"Dad."
"warlord."
Everyone in the room greeted them.
Siming found a random place to sit down and first looked at the lanterns made by Juanjuan: "Are you planning to open a lantern shop by making so many lanterns?"
"It's for my brothers and sisters." Juanjuan pointed at the hanging lanterns with a smile.
"Then dad will go with you later." Siming will try his best to fulfill the child's wish whenever he is free.
"Okay!" Juanjuan smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes curved.
Si Ming turned to look at the gun model made by Si Jinchen and the others: "This shape is quite unique."
"Dad, there are still some things we don't know how to deal with." Si Jinchen and his friends have been stuck here for a long time.
Either the range is not far enough, or the power is not strong enough.
They couldn't achieve their desired goal of taking someone's head from thousands of miles away.
"Or, you can go ask Grandpa Jiang, maybe he can give you some ideas." Siming had no way to give the children advice in this regard.
But asking them to go find Jiang Wang's family should be inspiring.
"That's right! We can go find Grandpa Jiang Wang." Si Jinchen immediately laughed.
"Let's go together tomorrow. We can also give them New Year gifts." Siming rubbed his little head.
"Okay." Si Jinchen nodded happily.
Several children put the model aside and came over to Juanjuan to make lanterns with her.
Knowing that these were gifts she was going to give to the children in the orphanage, they worked extra seriously.
"Brother, come here." Meng Yanxin stood outside the door and waved at him.
Siming put down the bamboo stick in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door: "What's wrong?"
"I do have something I want to discuss with you." Meng Yan thought for a moment and then said, "The girls who went to Beiyang City with me before were all good."
"I wanted to ask if you've considered having them learn other languages. Sometimes women appear to be weaker, but they aren't necessarily weaker."
"You remind me that it's time to learn some foreign languages. It will be of great use to us both now and in the future."
"Do you have the right person?" Siming ignored this point.
"I know a little bit, but I'm not very proficient. However, my colleagues at the newspaper are better than me, and they are also willing to make some contributions to Beiyang City."
After Meng Yanxin returned from the Northern Government, she told her colleagues about this.
Everyone agreed with her proposal. They did not look down on these girls. On the contrary, they admired these women with strong personalities.
They were not overwhelmed by difficulties, but lived more determinedly.
So when Meng Yanxin asked them if they were willing to teach them foreign languages, they agreed without hesitation.
Why would they be unwilling to do such a thing? It's just a matter of teaching some knowledge on a daily basis.
Siming thought more: "Can you teach more people?"
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and asked, "Brother, do you want Achen and the others to learn this too?"
"Besides Achen and the others, there are also children in the orphanage. If they have talent in this area, I still hope you can teach them."
Siming now hopes that the children in Beiyang City can learn as much as possible, as it will be useful either now or in the future.
Didn’t our ancestors say it well: It’s always good to have many skills?
Meng Yanxin nodded: "I think there should be no problem. I will discuss the time with my colleagues at the newspaper and see how to arrange it best."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Siming looked at her and said.
"Brother, we are a family now, so there is no need to be so polite." Meng Yanxin had a smile on her face.
Old Madam Si was also discussing the New Year gifts with Si Ning and Si Tian.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it’s time to send some gifts to the workers in the factory and the people we have close contact with.
But what to give has become their biggest headache.
Miao Jiu poked the triplets' chubby little faces, leaving red marks all over them, but they disappeared quickly.
The three little guys angrily pulled his fingers and stuffed them into their mouths, biting them hard with their only two teeth.
Miao Jiu looked at the three little ones biting his fingers as if nothing had happened. He asked, "Are you not afraid of breaking your own teeth?"
The triplets looked at him and didn't feel any pain at all. They lost interest in an instant and threw their saliva-covered fingers aside.
Only Si Ning, who was standing by, noticed that Miao Jiu's other hand was slightly clenched.
"Xiaojiu, do you have any arrangements?" Old Madam Si turned to look at Miao Jiu.
Miao Jiu didn't look at the triplets, but turned to look at the people across from him: "In previous years, we gave them some money and let them buy whatever they needed."
"Master Jiu, sometimes money may not be able to buy what we want." Miao Long muttered softly.
"What can't be bought?" Miao Jiu was quite curious. Even with money, there are things that cannot be bought.
"In the past, meat, candy and other things were hard to buy during the Chinese New Year. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy them." Miao Long said pitifully.
"Xiaojiu, there are quite a lot of livestock in the farm. How about we kill some this year and distribute them to everyone as New Year gifts?" Si Ning looked at him and asked.
"Okay, it just so happens that the cannery also makes canned braised pork and canned fish. Si Tian can take some out and distribute them to the people below so that everyone can have a good New Year."
After hearing what his wife said, Miao Jiu felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
It's because the animals in the farms grow fast and give birth to many children, and their reproductive capacity is so strong that the people working there have become a little numb.
The phrase I brainwash myself with every day is: God bless you, God will show His power!
