Gu Xingping responded and went back to the house to get clothes.
Chen Lishu went to the kitchen to put things away when she suddenly heard a meow coming from the window sill. She turned to look at the cat king who had disappeared early in the morning.
"Meow." The king saw her looking over, stared at her and called out again.
Chen Lishu followed its gaze and looked at the little fish in her hand and immediately became happy: "Your cat's nose is really smart, but don't worry, we can eat it after I cook it for you."
King Cat seemed to really understand what she said, and he lay obediently on the window sill waiting for her to cook small fish for him.
Chen Lishu cleaned the small fish and put them into the pot. They cooked them quickly and took them out. She put two into Cat King's bowl and spread the rest on the curtain and put them on the windowsill to dry.
"Third sister-in-law, I've already mixed the hot water for you. You should go and wipe it quickly." Gu Xingping came out of the bathroom and came over to call someone.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Chen Lishu responded, put down what she was doing, went back to the house, picked up a towel and went to the bathroom.
Soon she came out after cleaning herself. Gu Xingping had finished picking vegetables and was washing rice.
…
When Lin Xiaoyue saw Lin Xiaohui entering the Wu family, she quickly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Xiaohui, how was your first day at work?"
"Very good." Lin Xiaohui said happily and sat over: "Sister, you know, I asked around today and our current salary of twenty-seven and five yuan is only temporary, and there will be opportunities to increase it in the future."
"Really, that's really great." Lin Xiaoyue was happy for her after hearing this.
The two sisters chatted for a few more words before Lin Xiaoyue said, "Your sister-in-law Gu is here and she said she wants to treat everyone to dinner tonight."
When Lin Xiaohui heard that Chen Lishu was coming, she rolled her eyes and approached Lin Xiaoyue: "Sister, can I go?"
Lin Xiaoyue originally wanted her to make some food at home, but she felt a little embarrassed when she asked.
"Sister, don't you and your brother-in-law always praise Sister Lishu's delicious cooking? You can also take me over to try it. Besides, it's boring to leave me alone at home."
Lin Xiaomeng couldn't resist her plea and said with a smile: "It's okay to go, but we have to go there early and help with some work."
"No problem." Lin Xiaohui said as she turned around and went back to the house and quickly changed into a double-breasted dress with big buttons that she bought from Lin Xiaoyue for money some time ago. She also secretly puckered her lips with red paper.
Lin Xiaoyue frowned subconsciously when she saw her outfit, but after all, she was visiting someone else's house, so there was nothing wrong with dressing up specially.
She collected the cartons and paste on the table, got up, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then took Lin Xiaohui out.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wang Yufen leading Wei Xiaoya out. They happened to go to Gu's house together.
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingping had almost finished dinner and were washing their hands when there was a knock on the door. Chen Lishu hurriedly opened the door and saw Lin Xiaoyue and Wang Yufen. She smiled and invited them into the room.
"This is Battalion Commander Gu's sister, she is so beautiful." Lin Xiaoyue saw Gu Xingping and praised her with a smile.
The children in the Gu family are very good at choosing their parents. Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they all pick on the advantages of Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu.
"Thank you for the compliment, sister-in-law." Gu Xingping smiled generously at Lin Xiaoyue, turned around and moved a stool to invite people to sit down.
"What are you doing, sister-in-law, at home? Why did you come here after a whole day?" Chen Lishu asked with a smile as they sat down.
"The team took care of the jobs we found for family members who were accompanying the army, such as pasting paper boxes. I could earn several cents a day without doing anything else." Lin Xiaoyue felt quite proud to be able to add some income to her family.
"It's just that the price is lower." Wang Yufen said in a soft voice: "It's not like Xiaohui who graduated from junior high school and became a kindergarten teacher, with a salary of dozens of dollars a month." She originally wanted to come, but she couldn't.
If she needs a high school diploma, she has not even graduated from elementary school.
Lin Xiaohui found an opportunity when she heard what she said and looked at Chen Lishu: "Sister Lishu, what is your education level? If there is a vacancy in the future, I can help you tell her."
Chen Lishu looked at her and smiled: "I haven't graduated from elementary school yet, so I'm afraid I don't meet the requirements. Thank you for your kindness."
"ah?"
Lin Xiaohui shouted exaggeratedly: "Sister Lishu, you haven't even graduated from elementary school? It doesn't look like it. I always thought that people like Brother Gu would have to find someone who graduated from middle school. Is it because of poor family conditions?
?”
Just as Chen Lishu was about to open her mouth, Gu Xingping on the side could no longer listen and replied: "My third sister-in-law did not graduate from elementary school, but she has always insisted on studying and knows as much as you, a junior high school student. Besides, my third brother is not that kind of person."
For a superficial person, what can education mean? What he likes is my third sister-in-law, and our whole family likes my third sister-in-law."
Lin Xiaohui was a little annoyed when she was snatched away by Gu Xingping. She tolerated it because she was Gu Xingdong's younger sister, but she still said, "If I didn't have a junior high school diploma, I wouldn't be a kindergarten teacher. It shows that the diploma is quite important."
From the moment she walked in, Gu Xingping could tell that she had been targeting Chen Lishu, and he replied rudely: "Are the kindergarten teachers good? How much is the salary per month? Are they just employees who get red books?"
Her third sister-in-law can sell just a few pieces of clothing to cover her monthly salary, so what's there to show off?
"Why are you getting a red book?" Gu Xingdong and Wu Zheng opened the door and walked in. They happened to hear the end of Gu Xingping's words and asked.
"Sister Lin's little sister said that Sister-in-law can't be a kindergarten teacher without a high school diploma, so I asked out of curiosity." Gu Xingping summed it up, cutting off the beginning and ending.
Hearing Gu Xingping's words, Gu Xingdong frowned and his eyes fell on Chen Lishu's face. Seeing her smiling, he looked over and knew that she didn't take this matter to heart, so he didn't say anything.
"Why did you come back so early today? I still have two dishes that I haven't had time to prepare." Chen Lishu said and stood up: "You guys sit down for a while, I will fry the dishes and they will be ready soon."
"Sister-in-law, let me help you."
"Brother and sister, let me help you do it."
Seeing Chen Lishu go to the kitchen, Gu Xingping and Lin Xiaoyue stood up at the same time. Wang Yufen hesitated and followed, but the kitchen was such a big place and there were so many people that it was impossible to move around.
"Sister-in-law Wei, you really don't need help with the two dishes. You can go and accompany Xiaoya." Chen Lishu said with a smile, then turned to Gu Xingping and said: "Xingping, you can go and set the table and get the bowls and chopsticks."
"Hey." Gu Xingping responded and turned around to go out.
"Xiaohui's words don't sound nice. Brothers and sisters, please don't take it to heart." Everyone had gone out, and Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Lishu apologized.
Chen Lishu sent everyone out because she saw that Lin Xiaoyue had something to say. When she saw her speaking, she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't you not like to hear what I say? No one is a three-year-old child, don't you think so?"
?”
The smile on Lin Xiaoyue's face was a little forced. She knew very well the virtues of her little sister. But even though she was a little temperamental, she could usually speak and do things well. What made Lin Xiaoyue puzzled was that she didn't know why Lin Xiaohui was so good these few times.
