Father Chen and Mother Chen were just thinking that although they had brought a lot of things with them from their previous home, there were still a lot of things that needed to be added. Today, they would just take the two children out to eat for a while. They did not expect that Jiujiu would actually cook for them.
Looking at the corn porridge that Jiujiu had cooked, as well as the chopped salted vegetables that had not been stir-fried in time, the couple's eyes turned red. Each of them hugged a child and smiled.
At that moment, Madam Chen was so glad. She was glad that Jiujiu was a good child. She knew that Grandma's words were not good and she knew that she had to tell her parents about it. She also knew that she had to be filial to her parents.
She was really a good child.
The four of them finished the corn porridge with pickles. In the evening, Father Chen and Mother Chen cleaned up a room first. The four of them moved in first and the other rooms would be cleaned up later.
Although this house was made of mud, there were many rooms and there was enough room for each of them.
Father Chen and Mother Chen were thinking about their future life while Jiujiu was happy that she had finally left Grandma Chen's home. The four of them gradually entered their sweet dreams.
There were two days to register and they did not need to go to school on the second day. Father Chen and Mother Chen cleaned up two rooms and a utility room. The remaining room would be cleaned up later. Then, they started to tidy up the yard.
The yard was very large. Because no one had taken care of it for a long time, it was densely overgrown with weeds.
Mother Chen thought that in the future, she would have to take care of the children at home and her husband would have to work hard outside. The vegetables outside were expensive and they might not be able to buy them. After discussing it with Father Chen, the two of them directly started to weed, preparing to tidy up a small vegetable garden to be self-sufficient.
In the afternoon, Father Chen and Mother Chen went out to buy vegetable seeds, planted them, and watered them. Looking at the clean and tidy yard and the two smiling children, they felt at home.
Jiujiu and Chen Chen had officially settled down here.
Jiujiu did not feel anything but Chen Chen was sad for a long time, knowing that he would not be able to see his little brother for a long time.
However, children's friendships came and went quickly. Soon, Chen Chen got along well with his new friends.
Jiujiu, on the other hand, was beautiful, well-behaved, and had good grades. Even though she was a transfer student, she was still liked by the teachers.
The siblings lived peacefully in their new school.
Madam Chen stayed at home to take care of the daily needs of the family. She prepared food and clothes for the two children, but Jiujiu knew that Madam Chen didn't want this kind of life.
Madam Chen's original family wasn't very good. Although her father was a teacher, teachers in that era didn't have much money, and because she had many children, Madam Chen began to worry about making ends meet at a young age.
In this kind of living environment, Madam Chen developed a self-reliant and self-reliant personality. She hoped that she could be like a man and earn money to support the family, instead of staying at home and relying on her husband to support her.
Although this kind of life was comfortable, it wasn't what Madam Chen wanted.
Seeing Madam Chen forcing a smile to herself and Chen Chen every day, Jiujiu thought of the peddlers at the gate of the high school and had an idea in her mind.
One day, Jiujiu finished her homework. Seeing that Chen Chen had finished her homework and checked it, she went to find Madam Chen who was knitting a sweater for her and Chen Chen. She said, "Mom, do you know? My friend said that his mom set up a stall at the gate of the high school and could earn dozens of yuan a day. "
Madam Chen worked in the feed factory for a day and only earned about thirty yuan. She was so tired every day that she couldn't stand up straight because of the money. Hearing that she could earn dozens of yuan a day, Madam Chen was suddenly moved and couldn't help asking, "Why would she set up a stall for dozens of yuan?"
This was equal to a person's salary.
"She said she sells food." Jiujiu blinked and said, "She just buys some fried rice and fried noodles. She said she could earn at least thirty or forty yuan a day, and at most one hundred yuan."
Jiujiu looked at Madam Chen and whispered, "Mom, you cook so well. If you sell food there, you must earn more than her."
Madam Chen was a little moved.
When she was young, she had learned how to cook in the kitchen of a big hotel. Her cooking skills were even better than those of some so-called chefs. If she hadn't met Father Chen, she would have become a chef. Now Jiujiu's words instantly aroused her passion of learning how to cook in the kitchen of the hotel.
But Madam Chen was no longer the young girl she used to be. She had a big family to support, so she had to consider the consequences of her actions. She couldn't do it on impulse.
Madam Chen stroked Jiujiu's head and said softly, "Mom will think about it."
At noon tomorrow, she would go to the gate of the high school and ask someone about it. If possible, she would set up a stall to make money. First, she would have something to do. Second, it could reduce the pressure on her husband. Third, when she made money, she could build a red brick house. It was said that there was a kind of light that was white. It was very bright and didn't hurt the eyes. In the future, when children read and write, their eyes wouldn't be hurt either.
Seeing that Madam Chen had taken her words to heart, Jiujiu went to study.
She was going to skip a grade.
She wasn't a child anymore. What she was learning now was too easy.
Madam Chen was a woman of action. She did what she said she would. The next afternoon, she went to the entrance of the local high school to do a field trip.
Jiujiu was telling the truth when she said that a classmate's mother was working there. Madam Chen went straight to the mother's the first time. When she heard that her child was called Chen Jiujiu, the mother immediately gave her a thumbs up. "I know your daughter. My son always praises your daughter when he comes home, saying that your daughter often teaches him questions. My son improved a lot in the last midterm exam. I've been thinking about how to thank you properly at the parents' meeting. I never thought it would be you, big sister."
The other party was a straightforward person. She patted her chest and promised, "Big sister, ask whatever you want to know. As long as I know, I'll tell you everything."
Madam Chen didn't expect to meet an acquaintance as soon as she arrived. Although she was a little shy, she still forced herself to ask what she wanted to know. Since she was here to steal business, Madam Chen was a little embarrassed as she explained her family's situation. She expressed that she had her own difficulties and hoped that the other party could understand.
When the other party's mother heard that Madam Chen was planning to set up a stall to sell food, she was stunned for a moment before saying, "Selling food is fine, but I don't recommend it. There are too many small stalls here. Big sister, if you're skilled, you'll definitely be able to make some money, but it's impossible to make a lot of money. I suggest that you set up a stall at the back door of the hospital. It's close to your house and the flow of people there isn't bad. As for the stall management fee, you don't have to worry about it. Just set it up for two days and there will be people coming to you for money.
