【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 137 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 17

Yun Xi set the direction for the child's education. No one in the family objected and they were determined to carry it out to the end.

The originally relaxed primary school life was arranged very clearly.

"Big Egg, take your sister to wash the dishes."

"Niuniu and Erwa, go sweep the floor."

"Half an hour is up, go back to the house and rest."

"Let's go out to sea!"

……

In the morning, with the help of Lin Xiaobei's wife Nan Yi, Yun Xi was able to free herself and do whatever she wanted.

I deliver the goods to the village in the morning, help out there until after ten o'clock, ride my bike home, take my second daughter-in-law to have lunch and take a nap, watch TV for a while, and go to the beach to pack seafood in the evening. My days are quite fulfilling.

During the summer vacation, Zhou Lingling came to Zhou Sibo's house and saw six black radish heads.

"Fourth Aunt, what do you want me to teach them?"

Yun Xi looked at this bright and pretty college student with a very amiable expression on her face.

"Lingling, teach them four courses for the next grade. Go over the upper and lower volumes first, then go over them carefully. They need additional English instruction."

Zhou Lingling nodded, smiling sweetly, and said shyly, "I only started learning English when I was in college. Do they have a basic understanding? I probably can't teach them advanced subjects."

Yun Xi: "They have no basic knowledge of English. They will have to take the high school entrance exam and the college entrance exam. I think it's better to start from elementary school."

"Well, I have a roommate who speaks fluent English. When I asked her, I found out she has a relative who's a diplomat. She's ambitious in this field and has been learning English since she was little. She's also learned piano. She's got so many talents and specialties, she's the envy of us."

Zhou Lingling spoke softly, but with a firm strength. Yun Xi felt very comfortable talking to her.

"Piano? You can learn it. I heard there's a Children's Palace in the county." Yun Xi said casually, "Are you busy studying in college? Are you tired?"

"It's busy, but not tiring. It's very fulfilling. I get up around six in the morning and return to the dormitory around nine in the evening. In addition to studying courses in my major, I also take electives in English and German. Occasionally, I learn to play the Hulusi (cucurbit flute). I'm very happy about it."

Zhou Lingling told the truth.

"You study very hard." Yun Xi was surprised. "I'll leave these children in your care. If you teach them well, in addition to the 800 yuan, auntie will give you a big red envelope."

"Thank you, Auntie. I will teach you seriously."

If people want to understand the world beyond their cognition, they need to have someone with a broad vision to guide them. The vision of these children is still too limited.

The study class is arranged in the attic, starting at 7 o'clock every morning and ending at 12 o'clock noon. After that, the children have to do housework, cooking, washing dishes, sweeping and mopping the floor. Only after finishing these can they watch TV without any worries.

Every morning, the sound of reading aloud can be heard from the attic, which sounds like nature to adults.

Yun Xi basically doesn't go out during the day. She studies how to make snacks and brings them some tea and snacks in the morning. Occasionally, she sits in the attic to do the accounts and accompanies them in reading, letting them know that the adult world is not that easy.

Zhou Lingling has a broad vision and occasionally inserts some small stories into her lectures. Yun Xi, a modern person, listens with great interest.

"This is someone with real talent and knowledge. I can't compare to her." Yun Xi said to the system.

System: "Didn't you also graduate from a key university? Why can't you compare?"

Yun Xi: "Because all the knowledge came so easily, there's no rush. She's different. She has to learn all the knowledge she can in a limited time. Because once she enters society, she can't always look it up, and no one can always answer her questions."

"That's right, don't worry, you still have me. If you want to learn something, just come to me and I'll find resources for you."

"Okay, I want to learn a set of unbeatable skills!"

"No! You traveled through time and space to become a mother-in-law. You have to learn martial arts from a young age. Martial arts usually require strong physical fitness, otherwise it will be difficult to be effective." The system was speechless.

Yun Xi didn't give up. "Well, but I still want to learn. I want to become a sponge like Zhou Lingling, absorbing everything useful I come across."

System: ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

"Aunt, this is the five-spice dried tofu my mother made. Please try it."

Yun Xi was surprised, "Your mother can also make dried tofu?"

No one in the village knows how to make tofu, so the raw materials for braised dried tofu and bean curd skin are bought from the neighboring village. The price is not negotiable, but there is nothing we can do about it. Only this family in the nearby village knows how to make it. There are some in the township, but they sell for a higher price.

"Yes, I saw it in a book. I asked my mother to get a few pounds of beans to try it out. I didn't expect it to actually work." Zhou Lingling smiled brightly. "With this income, I can study peacefully outside."

"Yeah, I'll try it."

Yuncun took a bite of the dried tofu. It had a strong aroma, but was a bit salty.

"It tastes a little salty, but the aroma is well adjusted. I'll go make some tea."

Yun Xi made two cups of green tea and took a plate of high-calcium biscuits.

"Yeah, I think it's too salty too. I'll go back and tell my mom to make it lighter next time." Zhou Lingling smiled and said, "Thank you for the tea, Auntie."

"Don't be polite. I'm sorry for taking care of you because of the children. Besides, you are a college student in the village. Your aunt is thinking of taking advantage of you." Yun Xi told the truth.

"If you have any problems, please feel free to come to me." Zhou Lingling then asked, "I heard that your stewed dishes have dried tofu and bean curd skin?"

"Yes, and bean sprouts too. We buy them from the next village."

Ever since the child brought the dried tofu, Yun Xi understood what he meant. They were from the same village, so it was not impossible for him to purchase the tofu from her.

"How's the purchase price?" Zhou Lingling inquired. "To be honest, my family doesn't have much confidence in this business, so I wanted to ask my aunt."

Yun Xi nodded and told the purchase price, "...This tofu shop has a monopoly, so we have no choice but to buy from them. This way, my family's braised bean products can only earn back a hard-earned income. Sometimes I even want to get rid of this part. My family uses a lot, and the tofu shop never gives any discounts or anything."

Zhou Lingling had an idea in mind. "Based on this price, my family can give a 30% discount. But my family not only makes tofu, bean curd skin and dried tofu, but also bean curd sheets. Does Auntie know about bean curd sheets?"

Yun Xi: "I've heard of it. It's a precious thing. Does your family make it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's talk about the price."

After the two of them agreed on the purchase of goods, Zhou Lingling began to teach the children.

Yun Xi turned her head and saw Nan Yi's slightly bulging belly. "Nan Yi, are you pregnant again?"

"Aunt, yes, this is the last one. No matter if it's a boy or a girl, there won't be any more."

As if sensing Yun Xi's disapproval, Nan Yi hurriedly explained.

"It's good that you know it in your mind. Look at how pale your face is. Even if it's your son, you must remember to take care of your health." Yun Xi sighed lightly and didn't know what else to say. Everyone has their own choice.

"The slaughterhouse sent two extra bones today. Take them home after work and make some soup."

"Hey! Thank you, auntie."
