At the beginning, he took his seven younger siblings to join Yi Zhonghai.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai turned around and went back into the house.

A short while later.

He went out of the house again and said gently to the second brother and the others, "Hua Yazi, bring your younger brother inside. Your eldest brother will give you some candy."

Yi Zhonghua glanced at his elder brother's back, hesitated for a moment, and then led his younger brothers into the house with him.

"Is it sweet?"

"It's sweet, big brother, you should have some too. I'll give some to big brother later."

"Haha, okay, this one is for the eldest brother. The eldest brother doesn't eat it. We'll put these away and eat them tomorrow. We can't eat too much, or our teeth will get cavities."

"Eat it carefully with your hands, don't choke."

"Don't put the whole thing in your mouth, you might choke."

......

A short while later.

He then heard bursts of children's excited laughter coming from his room.

And there were Yi Zhonghai's meticulous and detailed instructions.

When Yi Zhongding came out and saw this scene, he nodded to himself, thinking that Yi Zhongding was quite sensible.

After putting the clothes on the stool.

He went inside as well.

The four little kids, Zhong Ren, Zhong Min, Zhong Xin, and Zhong Yan, have already climbed onto the bed.

He was holding candy in his hand.

It would hop around every now and then, then lick the candy off its hand.

A satisfied smile graced his face.

"Big brother, this is for you."

When Zhonghua saw him, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and presented it to him.

"You all eat, but leave some for the younger sisters."

Yi Zhongding smiled and patted his little head.

"Big brother, eat some candy."

Zhongren stood up on the bed, holding out her hand to him with a piece of candy in her palm.

"Haha, little Wu, be good, eat by yourself, and be careful."

Yi Zhongding also stepped forward and patted his little head, smiling indulgently.

Yi Zhonghai sat on a small stool, watching his friends interact with amusement.

He had dreamed of such a blissful life before.

But later I didn't even dare to think about it.

did not expect.

What I dared not even dream of came true.

He made a decision in his heart.

I must work even harder to master the skills of a fitter in the days to come.

I will strive to pass the exam to become a senior technician as soon as possible.

This way, you can earn several tens of dollars more in salary.

That way, these children can have a better life.

I will never let them suffer any more hardship or pain.

All the suffering and sins should be borne by me, the eldest brother.

There's also the issue of going to school.

With the help of Old Man Yan from the front yard, Hua Yazi's enrollment in school is not a problem.

But Ding Yazi guessed that things would take a bit of a turn.

I need to do some research and investigation beforehand.

Don't let it interfere with his studies.

Oh.

Correct.

The most important thing right now is the household registration issue.

We need to transfer their household registration to the capital tomorrow.

Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to do anything in the future.

Ok.

The Yi family's meager household register suddenly expanded to include eight more people.

There will be more in the future.

Hey.

This life is wonderful no matter how you look at it.

Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, you two can go in peace.

My nephew promises you that even if it means selling his blood and flesh, he will raise his younger siblings well.

Let them study, and ideally, they should all go to university.

Later, I will settle down, start a family, get married, and have children.

If we let them suffer even the slightest injustice.

You two are welcome to come up and slap me across the face.

If our ancestors in the afterlife knew this, they would be so grateful that these treasures had been delivered to us.

May they be blessed with peace and good health.

As Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the smile on his face became even more amiable and radiant.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"His older brother brought those kids to take a bath. Empty the water and replace it with fresh water."

Tan Xiulian's shouts woke him from his sweet dream.

"Hey, Dingya, come here. Help your little brother down, I'm going to change the water."

Yi Zhonghai jumped up from the stool as if he'd been electrocuted, and said excitedly.

"Big brother, I'll go."

Yi Zhongding said this and walked out.

"You can go anywhere, just go with your older brother."

Yi Zhonghai pulled him back and went out first.

After going outside, he looked at a large bucket of water and was puzzled. Then he looked at the ground and his eyes lit up.

He then said:

"Sister-in-law, tomorrow I'll get some cement mortar, set up a spot in that corner, and dig a sewer to drain the water out."

"This bucket also needs to be modified. We need to install a switch at the bottom so that we can pull it up to drain the water. Otherwise, changing the water is a hassle."

Tan Xiulian listened to these words and thought about them. She felt they made sense, smiled, gave a thumbs up, and said:

"Brother, you've thought this through perfectly. But the bucket doesn't need to be changed. Look here, isn't this the switch you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction she was pointing and laughed, "Well, they thought of us first. I was wondering why the salesperson gave us a different one as soon as we mentioned it was for bathing the child."

"I'll have to put in a little more effort today. I'll scoop the water into a bucket and then carry it out to pour it out."

After saying this with a cheerful smile, Yi Zhonghai went out and brought back a ladle, scooping water one ladleful at a time.

Yao Mei and Miao Mei, all dressed up, squatted down happily to watch.

"Haha, isn't this funny? This water is dirty, don't put your hands in it."

Tan Xiulian looked at the cola and said with a smile.

The two little ones nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

His little eyes were just fixed on the splashing water.

Yi Zhonghai seemed to understand what they liked to watch, so he deliberately made more splashes to amuse them.

At this moment, Yi Zhongding also led his younger brothers out of the house.

Seeing their older sisters squatting there watching, the four little ones from Zhongren all ran over to join in the fun.

"Hey, you like watching this? Kids all love playing in the water. When you're a little older, your big brother will take you to the public bathhouse so you can play to your heart's content."

Yi Zhonghai was immediately amused and splashed even more water.

"Take it easy, don't get Yao Mei and Miao Mei's clothes wet."

Tan Xiulian watched them play and said with amusement.

"No way, a fitter's hands are never unpredictable."

"Hey, sister-in-law, let's take them to register their household tomorrow. After that, we need to buy them some clothes."

"Look at all these clothes, they're all altered to fit too small, and covered in patches. Who knows what outsiders will think of us when they see us?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled, then pointed to their clothes and said.

"No need, brother. These days, everyone goes through this. The clothes are still in good condition."

"Besides, kids are mischievous; new clothes will become old clothes in less than two days."

"Besides, this baby grows up quickly, and it won't be able to wear it next year. We'll have to take it apart and make it bigger, and it'll just be patched up again."

Yi Zhongding said from the side.

He's starting to admire Yi Zhonghai a bit now.

If it were him...

They probably don't have the patience to slowly scoop water and tease the child.

"Don't worry about that. I'll just argue with your older brother. There are only ten days left until the New Year. Every child needs new clothes for the New Year, and you need to have some too."

"I can't make them all. Let's buy each of you a new outfit first, and then we'll buy more fabric and I'll make the rest for you."

"We also need to buy new cotton cloth to make diapers for the babies, otherwise they will rub against their thighs and hurt a lot."

Tan Xiulian waved her hand at him, speaking in an undeniable tone.

That makes sense.

After finishing his sentence, Yi Zhonghai continued scooping water while playing with the six little ones.

It took more than ten minutes to scoop out a bucket of water.
