Chapter 487 Li Caixia works as a temporary worker
Shen Shuyu had no idea where to put all his energy. It was no big deal to just pick up some bamboo shoots. He didn't listen to Gu Jiandong.
His injury hasn't healed yet, and she's worried that she'll tire him out by carrying him on her back.
Shen Shuyu was going down the mountain quickly, and Gu Jiandong kept shouting from behind, "Shuyu, slow down, slow down, the road is not easy to walk on."
"Be careful, there are rocks under your feet..."
Gu Jiandong was afraid that she would fall or bump into something, and he didn't feel relieved until they got down the mountain.
Along the way, she kept nagging like an old woman, "Shu Yu, don't do that again. The road is steep and you may fall easily..."
"I know. I know."
The shoes Shen Shuyu was wearing were a bit slippery, so she could only maintain the same speed when going down the mountain, otherwise she would easily fall.
When they got home, Gu Jiandong went straight into the kitchen. Li Caixia heard some noise next door and came over.
"Shu Yu, you guys are back. Wow, why are there so many bamboo shoots? They don't taste good. Why did you dig so many back?"
"Second Aunt, I plan to use it to make pickled bamboo shoots, which are delicious."
Li Caixia didn't think this thing was delicious. Her mother-in-law had also made sour bamboo shoots, but she thought they were not as delicious as pickles.
"Are you ready now? Second Aunt will help you. Have you had lunch? Second Aunt has made lunch. If you haven't, come over and have a quick bite."
"Gu Jiandong is already making it, and it will be ready to eat soon."
"Second Auntie asked you to come over to eat, but you two kids insisted on being polite to us."
When Gu Jiandong came back, Uncle Shen and Li Caixia came over and told them to come over to eat and they didn't have to cook. The two children insisted to be polite to them.
"Second Aunt, you are busy enough taking care of Xiao Qiu."
"What am I busy with? I'm just cooking. Cooking for four people is one thing, cooking for six people is another. It's just something that comes easily to me."
Li Caixia sat down while speaking, and began to peel the bamboo shoots in her hands.
Shen Shuyu took out a knife, and the two of them peeled bamboo shoots in the yard. Li Caixia had been in the army for a while, and she felt bored from cooking every day.
"Shu Yu, do you think it's okay for me to go to the cafeteria to get food? I heard from other aunts that the cafeteria is hiring temporary workers."
"Does Second Aunt want to go to work?"
"I do want to, but I'm afraid they won't want me. I won't be here long, I'll go back after a while."
"If Second Aunt wants, you can ask Ziqiang to ask. The canteen here is only recruiting temporary workers for a period of time. It's quite suitable for Second Aunt."
"It suits me. I'll ask Ziqiang to help me ask at night. Second Auntie has nothing to do here and feels bored."
Li Caixia felt bored, while Uncle Shen felt that this life was quite comfortable.
Here he met several older brothers of his age. After eating every day, he would go out to learn chess from them and was in a good mood every day.
Gu Jiandong put down the noodles and said, "Second Aunt, Shu Yu, it's time to eat the noodles."
Li Caixia came over after eating, and said she was full no matter how much she was called.
Gu Jiandong and Shen Shuyu ate noodles and did not go anywhere. They peeled bamboo shoots in the yard.
With the help of Li Caixia, the bamboo shoots were pickled in less than two hours.
Xiaoze was playing with sand in the yard. When he had enough fun, he fell asleep on the sand. Bailuobo lay beside him and watched over him.
Shen Shuyu wanted to carry her son back to the house, but Xiaoze woke up as soon as she picked him up. He twisted his body and said he wanted to sleep in the sand.
Shen Shuyu let him do as he pleased and went back to the house to get a piece of clothing to wrap him up to prevent him from catching a cold.
"Shu Yu, I have a meeting. The meal is ready in the pot. If you are hungry, eat first. You don't have to wait for me to come back."
Gu Jiandong had just finished preparing dinner and went out after putting on his clothes.
Li Caixia is still here. Seeing that her niece's husband is still as nice to her as always, she, as the niece's husband, is also happy.
Of course, her son-in-law is not bad to her daughter. As long as Ziqiang is at home, he will cook and do housework.
What surprised her most was that Ziqiang could sew and made several small clothes.
Waiting for the child to be born, caring about the child like this, when the child is born, he will definitely be a good father.
At dinner, Li Caixia told her daughter and son-in-law that she wanted to work as a temporary worker in the cafeteria.
Shen Qiu didn't really want her mother to go to work. "Mom, you and Dad came here to enjoy yourself. It's only been a few days, why are you thinking about working already?"
"You are all busy, and I have nothing to do except cooking. If I can work as a temporary worker in the canteen, I can earn enough to buy you two more pieces of cloth."
"Your daughter has a salary, so you don't need to buy cloth. I should buy cloth for you."
"Ziqiang, if you have time, please ask for me."
Jiang Ziqiang knew that his mother-in-law was busy at home and bored in the army, so he nodded without thinking.
"Mom, I'll go ask after I'm done eating."
"Don't be so anxious. It's not too late to ask tomorrow."
Shen Qiu pinched her man twice under the table, and Jiang Ziqiang acted as if nothing had happened. "Xiao Qiu, this is the stir-fried pork that Dad made. Eat more."
Jiang Ziqiang went out for a while and came back soon, "Mom, Chef Cai from the cafeteria said,
If you want to work, you can go there tomorrow, but you can only work for ten days.
One of my aunties has returned to her hometown and will be back in ten days. The temporary worker we hired this time is to replace her. "
"Well, ten days is fine. I'll be happy if I can work ten days."
Li Caixia grinned as she was able to work in the cafeteria. She just said she was a man.
At this moment, she said gently that she would bring water for Uncle Shen Er to wash his feet, which scared Uncle Shen Er so much that he shivered.
Jiang Ziqiang returned to his room and was grabbed by the ear by Shen Qiu. "My mother came here to enjoy herself.
Why are you trying to find her a job? She's busy all year round and this is the only time she can relax."
Even though his wife was pulling his ears, Jiang Ziqiang still smiled.
"Xiao Qiu, don't be angry. If you are angry, just beat me up. Don't be angry.
I know you want me to take some time off and rest, but you can see that I haven't been very happy these past two days.
She is used to being busy. If there is no work for her to do, she will feel that she is causing us trouble. I am afraid she will say she wants to go back in two days.
Now she has a temporary job to do, and she is happy. I asked the canteen, is the work tiring?
Just pick and cook the food in the canteen, no need to do anything else."
"Are you really not tired?"
"I'm really not tired. If I were tired, we wouldn't let mom do it."
Knowing that she could go to the canteen to work, Li Caixia got up early, had breakfast,
Jiang Ziqiang took his mother-in-law to the canteen to make arrangements before he went about his own business.
In the evening, Li Caixia brought back a few dishes, saying that they were leftovers from the cafeteria and they could take them back.
"Xiao Qiu, Zi Qiang, these dishes are your favorites, please eat more."
When Shen Qiu got home from get off work, she could clearly feel that her mother was particularly happy today. "Mom, are you so happy about going to work?"
"Of course, Mom can also earn money on her own. People say that I can earn six dollars in ten days' work.
This job is not tiring, and we can share the leftovers. What a good job.
When the time comes, I will use the money to buy you two pieces of cloth to make my daughter pretty."
Uncle Shen pointed at his shoes and said, "Why do you only have your daughter in your mind? My shoes are so worn out, why didn't you say you would buy me a pair?"
"Go, go, it's not like you don't have shoes. Aren't the Liberation shoes your son-in-law gave you in the closet? They're covered in dust if you don't wear them."
