35. Arrange
For this somewhat straightforward and outspoken wife, Bai Wenli had no choice but to avoid talking about some sensitive topics at home.
"It's settled, this matter is done, and I'm not afraid of what you'll say. Oh right, sis, yesterday when I was drinking with friends, they said that the factory on the other side of the group is recruiting people, are you interested? If you want to do it, I'll mention it to them later."
Bai Xinyi has been thinking about this for the past two days. Her brother and sister-in-law have returned, and she should find a job to do too. Just staying at home eating idle food makes her feel uneasy, and there's not much housework to do either. Besides, her nephew and niece are all grown up and don't need her to take care of them that much anymore, so it's time for her to think about her own affairs.
With a smiling face, looking at her brother, "Wen Li, you are indeed the worm in my sister's belly. I was just thinking of going somewhere to find something to do, and it just so happens that you've brought this opportunity right to my doorstep. But what does that factory do? I don't know if I can do it."
Sister looked worried, so Bai Wenli explained with a smile, "Sis, it's not a technical job, just processing oil. I asked and it's not very tiring, the pay is pretty good too. If you're satisfied, I'll find someone to talk to you about it tomorrow."
Bai Xinyi was naturally satisfied with this job, to say that she had the ability to do heavy work, but she didn't have that skill. The oil processing was also done by machines, and in the past, she just moved her hands a little.
"Just handle it as you see fit, as long as we can make money."
Within two days, Bai Wenli had settled the work matters, but considering that Chinese New Year was approaching, he agreed with the other party to let Bai Xinyi go over after the holiday.
Bai Xinyi had to go to work, Yu Tong's heart was a bit worried, what about Bai Haoran's studies? Although she was more than qualified to be this little guy's teacher, but she couldn't say that she knew everything.
"Auntie, if you go to work, what will we do? Who will teach us to recognize characters?"
Bai Xinyi smiled and stroked her little niece's adorable face, "Little one, your mom is much more understanding than your big aunt, so let your mom teach you guys later."
Yu Xi let out a sigh, if it were her mother teaching them, there wouldn't be any problem, but to teach kids to study requires patience, and her mother had work to do and was busy with household chores, she feared that Ge Mei didn't have the patience or endurance for this, however, for the sake of their family's Hao Ran's future, she had made up her mind to keep a close eye on his studies.
By evening, she began to pull Geng Mei to teach them. Seeing that both her daughter and son had learned the fourth-grade curriculum, Geng Mei was indeed somewhat surprised in her heart.
"Sister, these two kids have learned so much, I thought they would just be enthusiastic for a couple of minutes, but unexpectedly they persisted. Sister, thank you so much for this, in the future when my nephew grows up, you as their aunt will also benefit from it."
Bai Xinyi smiled gently and said, "Little brother and sister, I've already opened the door for you, it's up to you from now on. You have to coax children slowly."
After Geng Mei told them, Bai Haoran gave people the feeling that he was not very cooperative, either moving around or making a fuss with his mother.
Geng Mei slapped her son in anger, "Pay attention! Do you think your mom has nothing better to do than play with you?"
Yu Ting couldn't help but laugh at Ge Mei's serious expression, "Brother, listen to mom carefully, if you learn everything, I'll give you all my New Year's money when the holiday comes, okay?"
She secretly sighed, the red envelope, although not much, was still a considerable amount of pocket money. In her current situation where she couldn't earn money, this New Year's gift was a substantial income.
She thought about the treasure on her body, and for now, she didn't plan to tell her parents. After all, it was an unbelievable existence. Last time when Bai Wenli was injured, I don't know if it was because of the spring water or the medicine that worked well, anyway he recovered very quickly.
Bai Haoran's face lit up as soon as he heard that the red envelope money was all his, "Sister, we have an agreement, if you don't keep your word, you're a little dog."
Yu Tong nodded sincerely, "Brother, I keep my word."
Bai Wengui kicked his son with one foot, "You stinky kid, why don't you listen to your mom?"
Bai Haoran had no choice but to behave himself at this time, with the temptation of money and his father's warning, he had to be honest.
Bai Wenguang lay quietly on the kang, listening to the two children reading aloud, their voices childish but bringing a rare sense of satisfaction to his ears.
"White Big Brother, White Old Big..."
A loud and anxious cry came from outside, Bai Wenli was originally lying on the kang and was a bit drowsy, but as soon as he heard his name being called, he immediately sat up.
"Wen Li, who is calling you and in such a hurry?"
People at home, the sound outside is also unclear, and Bai Wenli is not sure who the person outside is. Yu Tong leaned on the windowsill to take a look outside, but unfortunately, the lights were on at home, so it was impossible to see what was going on outside. It's likely that the people outside can see what's going on inside their house.
Bai Wenguang jumped to the ground, pulled on his shoes and put on his cotton-padded jacket before rushing out. The people outside didn't come in either, probably because they had urgent matters to attend to. The two of them exchanged a couple of words at the entrance of the street, and Yueting saw her father hurry back.
"Geng Mei, I have to go out for a bit. Xiao Liao's dad has had an accident and needs to be taken to the hospital... we don't have enough money at home..."
Geng Mei heard this and hurriedly urged her husband to go over and take a look, if he could help in any way, after all they were acquaintances.
"You go quickly, take care of yourself, and come back early."
Yu Sai saw his father take out a thick wad of money from the cabinet, and he couldn't help but feel some heartache. This was all earned by the couple's hard work, and now it was being lent out, who knows when they would get it back?
It wasn't until bedtime that Baiming Li still hadn't returned.
At night, she started dreaming again. Each time, the scene changed, but it was like telling a coherent story. She knew she was dreaming, but in the man's gentle and doting eyes, she didn't want to wake up. She was afraid that when she woke up, her heart would feel dull pain.
When she woke up in the morning, she quietly savored last night's dream, and the story seemed to have happened just yesterday.
Geng Mei and her elder sister finished cooking and came over, seeing the sad expression on her daughter's face, thinking it was because her husband hadn't returned, which made Xiao Ya sad.
"Girl, what's wrong? You're unhappy so early in the morning?"
Yu Sai heard Geng Mei's voice and quickly adjusted her mood, originally she didn't sleep well, early in the morning she started to entangle with last night's dream, when she lifted her head, she was still staring with a pair of small deer-like eyes, the dazed feeling made Geng Mei love this little appearance of his daughter.
