Chapter 228: promise
Chapter 228 Promise
Xiaocui was stunned for a moment, then stopped eating melon seeds and looked at Shen Mianmian blankly.
After a while, he said, "But I don't know how to weave bamboo baskets."
To be honest, at fifteen yuan a month, she was really moved.
She works at home every day and has no income. She also wants to go to the city to work like others, but there is no one she knows in the city, and there is no job opportunity at all.
She did not dare to go to the city alone.
You can now earn money by working near home, of course.
It's just that she has no confidence and is afraid of not doing well.
"This is very simple." Lu Siyuan replied, "We will teach you, you just need to help me get started. Come to school with Mianmian in the morning, she will go back after school and have lunch."
Since he wanted Xiaocui to do it in his house, he felt that these things should be made clear to Xiaocui.
"Are you still eating at noon?" Xiao Cui was even more excited.
But she didn't know if her mother would agree.
Seeing through her thoughts, Shen Mianmian said: "Xiao Cui, you can think about it first and then answer. If you are willing to do it, go back and I will help you and Aunt Liu tell it about this."
Xiaocui's eyes lit up, "If my mother agrees, I will come."
Although she can't, Lu Siyuan said that they will teach it.
After all, it was Chinese New Year. Unlike before, Shen Mianmian didn’t stay here for dinner.
Before leaving, Grandpa Lu asked Lu Siyuan to pack a bag full of melon seeds and peanuts for the two of them.
In this era, everyone's conditions are not good. Sunflower seeds and peanuts are only necessary at home during the Chinese New Year, but adults do not allow children to eat as much. These are to save face when guests come.
Grandpa Lu asked them to take so much away, which really surprised Xiaocui.
"Mianmian, Grandpa Lu is too good, right?"
Look at the house they live in, it's also very ordinary! There shouldn't be much money in the family, but Grandpa Lu is really generous.
"You'll know what you're doing here in the future. Grandpa Lu is a good person to get along with, and his food is also good."
"I heard from my mother before that you are working on winter vacation, are you also at his house?"
Shen Mianmian's eyes flashed, and she said to her mysteriously: "Xiao Cui, I told you, you must never tell anyone, including your mother."
"Um."
Xiaocui nodded seriously.
"I also help at his house, but I'm not helping to weave bamboo baskets, I'm going to the city to help him look at the stalls. You know my mother. If she knew that I ran into the city every day, she would definitely feel bad, so I I never told her the truth."
"You go to the city every day?" Xiaocui was stunned.
She's so old, she hasn't been to town yet.
Shen Mianmian told her something about the city, and Xiao Cui's eyes lit up.
The two returned to the village, and it was already lunch time. Shen Mianmian went to Aunt Liu's house to talk about it.
Aunt Liu couldn't be more happy, "Mianmian, is there only one person in their family? If you want more, Erni and I can also help."
There are a lot of people in the family, and only their own men do things outside.
The year-round income is all spent, and there is no money left at all.
Except for the busy farming season, they have nothing to do at home.
If you can also make money, your family will soon be able to live a good life.
Before Shen Mianmian could speak, Xiao Cui hurriedly said, "Mom, we don't need so many people."
It's good that Mianmian thinks of her, she can't make Mianmian embarrassed anymore.
Aunt Liu also knew that people couldn't want so many people, she was just too happy just now.
