The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Chapter 29 Time is like water in a sponge, if you squeeze it you will always get some

The next day, after Zhou Dajiang finished teaching the children and assigned them homework, he asked Zhou Sisi to help supervise them and then went to the town.

Zhou Dajiang has been incredibly busy lately, and the kids know he's busy. Whenever they have a word they don't know, they ask Sisi. I don't know what's wrong with Sisi's brain; I haven't even seen her in class, but she knows every word her uncle teaches her. So impressive!

Besides Little Lotus, Anger has recently started to admire his sister. He reads her illustrated Calabash Brothers every day, with pictures and text. He asks his sister when he doesn't understand something. It's so fun! But his sister draws too slowly, so he can't see enough.

There are seven people in "Calabash Brothers", and if he is included, there are seven children now. If they are arranged in order, he happens to be the seventh and smartest Ziwa.

Although he is not the smartest one yet, because he has an older sister ahead of him, he will study hard and strive to catch up with his sister as soon as possible and become the smartest child!

Zhou Sisi didn't know that Anger was thinking about Qiwawa. She was currently studying the daily diet for the workers with her mother and grandmother.

Whenever Chen Xiuying came up with something, she would ask Zhou Sisi to add it, trying to ensure that there would be no repetition within seven days, and that there would be a combination of meat and vegetables every day.

Zhou's mother helped to add that this vegetable was available at home and there was no need to buy it, but that vegetable was not available at home in large quantities and needed to be bought in the village. You can ask your neighbor Tian Ersao first, maybe she has it.

Erwang's family in the village raises a lot of chickens and ducks. She will go and ask Erwang's mother how to sell the chicken and duck eggs and the chicken and duck meat respectively.

Also, the Tofu Zhang family in the next village produces tofu every morning. Tietou can run errands and ask Tofu Zhang to deliver tofu every few days.

Otherwise, why do they say that 'an old person in the family is like a treasure'? Zhou's mother doesn't usually chat with others about family matters, but she knows everything, just like an encyclopedia. She can tell you everything about every family and arrange everything clearly.

Chen Xiuying was afraid that Zhou Sisi would forget what she was muttering about later, so she asked her to write down everything so that she would know who to go to buy something if she ran out of it.

With the help of Zhou's mother and Sisi, the recipe was quickly finalized, and even the place to buy the ingredients was almost decided. Chen Xiuying felt that things went much more smoothly than expected.

Things were not so smooth for Zhou Dajiang, as the obstacle was naturally his third brother.

As soon as Zhou Dajiang started talking, Zhou Dahe started shaking his head like a wave drum, "I can't do it, I can't do it, I really can't do it!

I still have to make these parts for you, so how can I have time to make two more pots for you? You want to tire me to death? Oh, I can't live like this! "

When he was pushed into a corner, he started to act like a rogue. He had only one goal: I can't take this job.

Zhou Dajiang had no choice but to ask him in a different way: "If you don't have these parts, how many days will it take for you to make two iron woks?"

"It would take at least two days to make a pot."

"Well, here's how you do it. You've already finished 100 parts, so I'll take them first. Next, you make the pot first. After the pot is finished in two days, you can make the parts. After you've made 100 parts, you can make the remaining pot.

As for the time when we didn’t have a pot at home, I figured out a way to solve the problem myself.”

Zhou Dahe pursed his lips. "That's easy for you to say. How can I have that much time? The two days I mentioned are just for making iron pots. I don't do anything else. But the situation now is that I usually have other people's work to do. Just making these few things for you has already taken up all my rest time. Can't you see that I've lost weight? It's all because of making work for you these two days."

"Time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there will always be more. If you hurry up and work faster, you can finish your work sooner so you can rest."

"What cotton?" Zhou Dahe didn't understand.

Zhou Dajiang then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. There was no such thing as sponge in ancient times. He was careless.

So he quickly changed the subject and said, "What do you care about cotton? I was just using an analogy! If you were to waste time like that, you could probably make a sheet of iron. Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

After thinking for a moment, he made some promises to Zhou Dahe, "After I finish building my house, don't you want to build one too? Then you can continue to use these two pots. If you prepare them now, it will save you trouble when you build the house. Make them well!"

After finally pacifying his third brother who was about to quit, Zhou Dajiang quickly packed the accessories into his backpack and left decisively.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhou Dajiang went to the grain store again. The flour at home was almost used up, and he had to buy some more to prepare for building a house. He also had to buy some brown rice and mix the two together.

The seasonings and chili peppers at home were almost gone, so before leaving, Chen Xiuying reminded him several times to buy some back.

He bought a lot of miscellaneous things and had them delivered to Chen's house again, planning to hire an ox cart to take them back later.

Finally, he went to the pharmacy again and bought the Chinese herbs needed for the chili oil, and then planned to buy some wine to take to his father-in-law's house.

After coming out of the pharmacy, Zhou Dajiang always felt that someone was following him, not knowing if it was his illusion. When he looked back, he didn't see any suspicious people. He could only attribute it to the fact that he was too tired recently, which caused him to be nervous. He shook his head and ignored it.

I had lunch at my father-in-law's house at noon and told them about building a house.

Chen's father and mother were very happy to hear this. It had only been a few days since they separated, and they were already starting to build a house. It really proved the saying that after bad times comes good times, Xiuying was about to get through it.

Chen's father was a person who loved to be in a lively atmosphere. He asked Zhou Dajiang to come and tell him when the house was about to be "beamed up" so that the old couple could go and join in the fun.

After lunch, Chen's father still asked his son to hire a car to help take him home.

Zhou Dajiang had a drink with his father-in-law at noon and was too tired recently, so he fell asleep among the rice bags after getting in the car.

Chen Mingyuan was worried that his brother-in-law would catch a cold, so he asked Wang to take one of her own clothes and cover him with it. Then he and the driver drove the ox cart and slowly arrived at Qingshangou.

Zhou Dajiang slept all the way home and only woke up when he got home. He felt a little embarrassed because he had asked his brother-in-law to help him get back home twice.

After unloading the car, he asked him and the driver to wait for a while, and went back to the house to get three sets of graters and peelers. He explained to Chen Mingyuan how to use them, asked him to take one set home, and send two sets to his father-in-law's house.

The relationship between people becomes close through interaction. The brother-in-law treats their family well, so when he gets something good, he naturally has to give face to his brother-in-law.

Chen Mingyuan knew that the tool his brother-in-law had brought was very useful, and it wasn't available on the market yet, making it a rare item. Without hesitation, he thanked his brother-in-law and left with the three sets of tools. He planned to return to his father-in-law's house and deliver the items as soon as possible.

Chen Mingyuan's father-in-law's home was in Dayang Village, not far from town and easily accessible by bus. Since he had already taken the day off, Wang and I would take the children to his father-in-law's house to spend the night. We would still have time to go directly to school from there tomorrow.
