Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1266: Grandma Lotus’s Abacus

Seeing Liu Liu say this, Liu Ning sighed helplessly: "It's inconvenient to take care of the children these days because it's raining. When the rain stops, I'll just work for an hour or two at night, and you don't have to take care of the children."

"The child doesn't get enough rest, and you are tired too."

Liu Liu was a little confused: "She is only six months old. It is not safe for her to sleep alone... I am also very skilled at carrying a child."

Liu Ning had never raised a child, so he didn't know the feeling of being worried, but seeing that Liu Liu insisted, he didn't say anything.

  But Aunt Lianhua's mother-in-law, who was also having dinner, heard it and slowly swallowed the ribs that had been stewed until they were soft. Then she said:

"Xiao Liu, it's not okay for you to raise a child like this."

The old lady is now plump and white, with a kind face, and there is a natural affinity when she speaks.

Liu Liu and her brother calmed down instantly and listened to her patiently.

  As an old lady who has raised children, Grandma Lianhua's experience is much more sincere:

"You have to carry your child on your back while working. I did this all the time. In the hot summer, I had to go to the fields to work with my child on my back. We almost died of sunburn in the fields..."

"But at that time, there was no other way. Every household endured this. If you still do this now that conditions are better, then you are a bit stupid."

Liu Liu blushed: "I..."

I kept saying "I" for a long time but didn't know what to say. Finally, I could only emphasize repeatedly:

"I will definitely not delay my work. They all say that I work very efficiently."

"It's not a matter of delay or not."

Grandma Lianhua patiently instructed her, "When harvesting vegetables on the mountain, if there are fewer people, there will be three hours, and if there are more people, there will be two hours. In fact, it is not a big problem. We set this time point in the first place because we were afraid of delays on the road."

"If you really want to be slower, you can still get the same salary for three hours of work."

"But now it's spring, you can wrap the child up thickly and carry him while working. But what about summer?"

The old lady was tolerant: "Let's not talk about the sun during the day, what about the mosquitoes at night? You as an adult can bear it, but how can you bear to let a tender child like her be bitten by mosquitoes in this vegetable field on your back?"

Children have tender flesh and mosquito bites will leave bumps. Especially Ranran who is so thin and small, which mother would not feel distressed?

Liu Liu's eyes were red.

Liu Ning was calmer than her and immediately asked, "Mother-in-law, what do you think my sister should do?"

Grandma Lotus then said:

"You two are still young, how come you don't know how to use high technology?"

She proudly took out her phone and said, "I have internet at home. You can buy a surveillance camera and point it at the bed. Then, learn from Qiao Qiao and buy a phone stand and put it in the vegetable garden."

"You're working, and the surveillance footage is playing on your phone. What's not clear to you?"

At this point, Grandma Lotus' tone changed, and she also wanted to give some advice to this inexperienced mother:

"Oh, do you have to carry the child on your back and look miserable to feel better?"

"If I were the boss, I wouldn't want you. We hire a worker, not a nanny."

Liu Liu's face turned red.

  But Grandma Lotus changed her tone:

"If the surveillance video really shows a panic, then I'm still sleeping at home, right? I'm a light sleeper, so it's not worth it if you call me and I go take a look."

"If you really need me, you can bring two cartons of milk over later. Wouldn't that be a nice gesture?"

As a fashionable old lady who can search for knitting patterns online, Grandma Lianhua has an intelligently controlled electric wheelchair and a smart toilet. She is now very different from the villagers! She speaks in a powerful and confident voice.

At least after thinking about the method she mentioned, the brother and sister didn't find anything wrong with it.

This made Liu Liu even more ashamed: "Why didn't I think of it before?"

"It's no use thinking about it."

  Liu Ning said calmly:

"What kind of job do you have that would allow you to watch the surveillance camera all the time? And if something really happens, can you fly back immediately?"

Liu Liu: ...That’s true.

But, she had to say, when she looked down at Ranran, whose face was covered with blood from eating a piece of radish, her anxious heart calmed down.

  The person she taught was so good, and Grandma Lotus actually felt very accomplished, but at this moment she wanted to emphasize:

"I'm not saying this for your two cartons of milk. I don't need that stuff. I can earn money as an old woman. I have a salary."

"Ah?" With Liu Liu's honest character, she never thought of going up to this point.

Liu Ning laughed: "Mother-in-law, I know, I've heard about it! I heard that when you were making straw mats, you made more than 8000 a month!"

"Of course not!" This was the sentence that Grandma Lianhua was waiting for. Looking at Liu Liu's shocked eyes, she sat even straighter in the wheelchair.

  Then he cleared his throat reservedly:

"More than 8000 is not worth much. I just know more tricks. I learned a few more this year - but Xiao Liu!"

This was Liu Liu being called, and she subconsciously let out an "ah".

"Don't be discouraged and don't think that a salary of more than 1000 yuan is not high. Look at your body. You should make up for your basic condition first."

"The Song family in our village has work to do from spring to winter. You are diligent and work efficiently, but if your body can't hold on, they are afraid that you will fall ill on the job and have to pay compensation!"

"If I were you, I would have to give you another bowl of meat, three meals a day and a midnight snack - this way for half a month, if you can do it, you can be a tea picker."

"By the way, you can hire me to look after the children during the day in the spring - the matting materials haven't been harvested yet, so I'm free right now."

Siblings: "..."

What should I do? Suddenly I felt that this old lady was so amazing, and what she said made so much sense!

Liu Liu was already excited before he even became a tea picker, and asked in a low voice:

"Then, how is the salary calculated?"

The old lady raised her lips and said, "I know you don't have money. If you do it too carefully, you won't be able to afford the salary. How about this——"

"I am responsible for looking after the child, feeding him milk powder, changing his clothes and diapers - this cannot be saved. Milk powder is definitely more nutritious than breast milk. Look at your own pale face."

"Also, don't use those diapers anymore, buy disposable diapers. Otherwise you have to wash and dry them, you might as well make money instead of wasting time!"

"Then when it's time to eat, take her to the cafeteria to wait for you - you can decide on the salary, 1000, are you willing?"

  Liu Liu's heart was pounding, she felt so excited for some reason!

Grandma Lotus also clenched her fists nervously - although she was confident that she could earn more this summer, she was idle in the spring anyway...it wouldn't be a waste to earn a few thousand yuan!

If you add the rent of the old house and the money from growing and selling vegetables, you may be able to make more than 2000 yuan a month. How is this not work?

She even finds time to tidy up the vegetable garden!

The old lady perked up when she thought of this.
