Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

When Sirong heard what Si's father said, she didn't say anything polite, but instead assigned him a lot of work.

"Xiaoyu will go back to school this afternoon. Before you leave, help Dad move some of the firewood into the house."

After hearing this, Si Haoyu turned around and headed towards the backyard: "I'll go now."

"Wait a moment, you don't have to go to the evening self-study class anymore, can you go back home and study on your own?

After class, I need someone to pick up Xiaoqi and buy groceries. Our family needs someone to run errands in the current situation. Can you talk to the teacher yourself?

Do you want me and mom to accompany you to school?"

"No, I'll talk to the teacher myself. If it doesn't work, you can go over there later."

Si Rong nodded to Si Haoyu and continued, "Dad, can you be in charge of cooking?"

"No problem." Father Si clenched his fists while sitting in the wheelchair.

He can cook, and his cooking skills are quite good. When he first got married, he often showed off his cooking skills to please his wife.

It’s not that he doesn’t go to the kitchen because he is disabled. It’s mainly because after Si’s mother changed her job to the warehouse, she gets off work on time. Also, Sirong is growing up, so there are not many opportunities for Si’s father to push her wheelchair into the kitchen.

The main reason is that the Si family still uses a wood stove to cook. There is no natural gas, and a normal person needs to bend over and fiddle with it for a long time to make a fire. If there is someone at home cooking, Si's father usually doesn't get involved.

The main reason was that the kitchen wasn't very big, and it was quite difficult for him to turn around in his wheelchair. Sometimes he even had to walk backwards to get out.

But it is not impossible to overcome it. It is good that his daughter arranges him like this and makes him feel needed.

Seeing her mother looking at her eagerly, Sirong smiled.

"My mom went to chat with Aunt Li this afternoon to see if her family was thinking of selling the house and what their target price was.

We also need a tricycle to haul goods. Ask around and see if anyone has one; a second-hand one will do."

Sirong did not go out in the afternoon. When Si Haoyu left, Sirong let him ride the bicycle away.

He picked up my younger sister from school in the afternoon.

Sirong wants to stay at home and renovate the kitchen.

The kitchen of a northern bungalow usually has two stoves, one of which is connected to the kang in the house. When cooking in winter, the kang can be heated at the same time.

The other stove is connected directly to the chimney and is reserved for summer use. After cooking, the fire can be extinguished directly without making the house too hot.

Apart from the two stoves being fixed and the faucet being in a fixed position, the rest of the place is a workbench made of simple wooden boards and square sticks, which is convenient for cutting vegetables or placing things on it.

The cupboard for dishes at home is more than one person tall, with two layers, but fortunately it is two cupboards more than one meter high stacked together. You can take down the upper cupboard and place it side by side, so that Father Si can reach things that are high up while sitting in a wheelchair.

I dismantled the workbenches, designed the layout, shortened the square wooden sticks, and re-stitched them.

Sirong also lowered the faucet and sink. She bought a section of pipe and replaced the old one, bringing it to the ideal height. The sink had to be re-cemented, so she had to be careful with the water until it dried.

Sirong worked all afternoon. After finishing, she pushed Si's father around the kitchen. Now the activity area is enough for Si's father to turn around in the kitchen in his wheelchair, which is much more convenient.

After placing the kitchen utensils in a convenient place for him as requested by Si's father, he was driven out by Si's father. The old man decided to cook dinner tonight.

Si's mother has returned. It was she who bought the vegetables. She had told Si Haoyu about it before.

This was Zhang Qi's first dinner at home, so she cooked something delicious. She went to the market right after Aunt Li's house and bought two pounds of pork ribs to stew with beans for dinner.

There are still a few potatoes from yesterday's purchase, which have been cut into shreds by Mr. Si. I'll stir-fry them later.

I have peppers and vegetables that I grow myself in the backyard, so I make scrambled eggs with chili peppers and vegetables with garlic, making a total of four.

By the time Zhang Qi and Si Haoyu came back, Si's father's dishes were already ready.

After the family finished their meal, Sirong told Zhang Qi about their family's decision. Living under the same roof, excessive politeness would only create distance between them.

Sirong’s idea is that children should also have the right to know, and she should explain to Zhang Qi about the scrap yard at home.

Don't wait until the kids get home from school in a few days and she doesn't even notice the drastic changes at home. That would be a disaster. We're all just getting to know each other, and if that happens, Zhang Qi will feel like an outsider.

Zhang Qi also accepted her current home well. When Si Haoyu picked her up and brought her back, he let her sit on the crossbar of his bicycle, and the two brothers chatted and laughed all the way.

One party was interested in getting closer, and the other party was willing to integrate. The twenty-minute journey made Zhang Qi open her heart and start talking about school gossip with Si Haoyu.

Zhang Qi has no objection to her family opening a scrap yard. It is enough for her to feel the kindness of her family.

As I said, teenagers don’t have the brains to think about those things.

The most important thing for them is to be able to feel their family's attitude towards her. When she knew that she was not a child of the Zhang family, she was afraid.

She was afraid that the Zhang family would no longer want her, and she was also worried about whether her biological parents would like her.

As for the conditions of the two families, could she say that she hadn't thought about it?

The food wasn't good, well, that was important, she still liked meat. Clothes really didn't matter, everyone had to wear a uniform to school.

She actually likes the pretty little skirt very much, but since they like her so much, it’s okay for her not to wear it.

Seeing that Zhang Qi accepted this family well, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, they discussed the issue of changing Zhang Qi's surname. He decided not to change his name. Zhang Qi still liked this name very much. If he changed his surname to Si, he would be called Si Qi, which was also nice.

Finally, I decided to go to the police station on Friday morning to change my surname. I had an art class and a physical education class that morning, so it was easier to ask for leave.

After school on Thursday afternoon, Si's mother went to pick her up and explained the situation to the teacher and asked for leave for her.

Si Haoyu's class teacher has agreed to let him go home and study directly after school, but he needs a statement signed by his parents. Si Haoyu can go to the school to handle the remaining procedures himself.

The simple family meeting ended here, and Zhang Qi and Si Haoyu went to his room to do homework.

Sirong was left behind with Si's father and mother to discuss matters at the scrap yard.

When Si's mother went to Li's house in the afternoon, Uncle Li and Aunt Li were both at home. They chatted about family matters and then talked about the compensation.

The Li couple had already decided to go out to work. Since they had two children, they weren't too worried. Now they were just waiting to see when the buyout compensation would arrive.
