Chapter 292 The Pretty Widow 10
In fact, they had thought about raising the two children in the village. Although they were not young anymore, they could still work for a few more years and it was more than enough to support the two children.
But staying with them can only guarantee that Xiang Song and Xiang Bai will not go hungry. Chen Lianhua and Liu Guoping don't want their two grandsons to be as useless as them in the future.
So it would be great if Chu Yuan could take them back to the city and let them go to school, find a job, get married, have children, and finally have a happy family just like other city kids.
And through spending these few days together, they saw clearly how Chu Yuan treated the two children.
There is no need to mention the big Xiang Song. None of the clothes he wore had patches on them.
Little Xiang Bai has to drink milk powder every day. There are no children in their village who still drink milk when they are over two years old.
Just because Chu Yuan was generous to the two children, they were willing to believe that she would be truly kind to them.
Liu Guoping looked at Chu Yuan deeply for a few times and took another puff of his pipe:
"Second brother's wife, we are handing Xiang Song and Xiang Bai over to you. If one day you don't want to raise them anymore, send them back to the village for us. But don't treat them badly."
Chu Yuan took this opportunity to put forward his own ideas: "Dad, I think it's not safe for me, a woman, to live in East City with two children. What do you think of my cousin Xia Yu from my uncle's family? I plan to let her help me take care of the children for a while."
Xia Yu is 14 years old this year and can be considered a semi-labor force in the countryside.
During the time she returned to the village, she helped Chu Yuan a lot, and even on the day of the funeral she was the one who ran around taking care of the arrangements.
Liu Guoping thought about it and felt that this suggestion was really good. He had watched Xia Yu grow up and he had found that he was a good worker since he was young.
After all, he is a relative of theirs. If Xia Yu is with them in East City, the old couple will feel more at ease.
Thinking about it this way, this matter can be said to be beneficial and harmless: "I think it's okay, but I don't know if Xia Yu and your uncle's family agree."
Xia Yu was originally arranged by Chu Yuan, so there is no need to explain her thoughts.
As for the uncle, Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I can give Xia Yu a few dollars of pocket money every month so that she can save some money for herself. When she reaches the age of marriage, I will introduce her to a date in the city. I think the uncle will agree to this."
Liu Guoping nodded: "That's fine, it's better than staying in the village all your life. I'll go to your uncle's house tomorrow to ask."
The fate of the two children was decided, and the conversation among the three ended. Chu Yuan went back to his room and hugged the two children to sleep soundly.
I have to say, young children are just adorable and feel soft when you hold them in your arms.
Especially now that the weather is cold, Xiang Song and Xiang Bai are like two little stoves, sleeping on the left and right of Chu Yuan, and they don't feel the chill of late autumn at all.
When he first woke up in the hospital, Chu Yuan felt a little repulsive when he learned that he had to take care of two burdens. He hated naughty children the most.
But the actual situation was much better than she had hoped: she had money, no husband, and her two well-behaved children. The key point was that she would soon have a loyal full-time nanny.
What a magical day this is!
If it weren't for the scarcity of materials in that era, Chu Yuan would even think that she was here to enjoy herself.
The days in Red Star Village passed quickly. Such a peaceful and quiet life should have been what Chu Yuan longed for the most, but now she couldn't wait to leave.
It’s really because...she hasn’t eaten meat for several days.
Because according to the custom in the village, the family of a funeral must not eat meat for seven days.
Chu Yuan took advantage of this opportunity and quickly bought a ticket back to Dongshi.
She decided that the first thing she would do when she returned to Dongshi was to take her two children to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal. Her family still had some meat coupons that they had saved up, so she wanted to order a large portion of braised pork.
Xia Yu will also go back to Dongshi with them this time. That day, Liu Guoping went to his eldest brother's house to ask.
As soon as they entered the door and explained their purpose, Xia Yu agreed immediately and said that he was willing to go to the East Market with his sister-in-law.
This daughter is the daughter of Liu Guoping's eldest brother. When they suddenly said they wanted to let their daughter go to Dongshi, the old couple were reluctant to let her go.
But they would definitely not stop their daughter from having the opportunity to go to the city and see the world.
Helping to look after children is not a big deal for them. Even if they don't go to East Market, they still have to do laundry and cooking if they stay at home.
At least when I go to the city, I don’t have to work in the fields anymore.
When Liu Guoping explained the conditions proposed by Chu Yuan, this job became even more popular in the eyes of everyone.
Which woman in the village doesn't want to marry a man from the city and eat public food together? It's just that they don't have this opportunity.
So the matter was settled, and when Chu Yuan went to buy the train ticket, he also bought Xia Yu's ticket as well.
After all, she is going there to help her take care of the children, so naturally I should bear her living expenses.
The two or three hours on the train passed in a flash.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any unexpected situations this time and we were very safe along the way.
After returning to the East Market, they first put their luggage back home, and then each of them went out, holding a child.
When they were in Hongxing Village, Xiang Song and Xiang Bai had already become familiar with the new aunt Xia Yu, and were not opposed to her joining them.
In this way, Chu Yuan saved a lot of trouble. At least when going out, she no longer had to hold two children in each hand, fearing that one of them would be out of her sight.
After arriving at the state-owned restaurant, Chu Yuan went directly to the window and ordered two main dishes, braised pork and stewed chicken with sauerkraut. As for the vegetarian dishes, he didn't order any.
The all-vegetarian banquets during this period made them look pale. For the time being, she probably won’t want to see anything green on the table.
I have to say that the dishes here are magnificent. Not only is there a lot of meat, but the portions are also very large. Even the four of them in the family couldn't finish it.
Fortunately, Xia Yu had the foresight to take two lunch boxes before leaving the house and pack them up to eat tomorrow.
Chu Yuan's life has changed a lot since Xia Yu came.
Originally, she would look after the children as soon as she opened her eyes every day. The two children were very energetic and at a naughty age. Just taking care of the two children almost every day consumed all of Chu Yuan's energy.
But things are different now. Since having Xia Yu, Chu Yuan can sleep until he wakes up naturally every day, and when he wakes up, the two children are already tidied and well fed.
Basically, Chu Yuan doesn't have to worry about anything, she just needs to pay the money.
This made her sigh: Puppet man is simply the greatest invention in the quick-travel system!
