Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 188: 188. Jojo's daily life

Views:

Teacher Xin is really serious about making one-on-one teaching plans.

but…

Qiao Qiao gets up at six o'clock, washes and has breakfast. At half past six, she washes the dishes and hangs out the baskets. At seven o'clock, she feeds the pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and bees (it should be emphasized here that there are eight dogs and four feeding locations), while also keeping in touch with others.

At eight o'clock, I followed my seventh uncle and aunt to wander around, learn some edible things, learn some cooking skills, and roughly plan the menu for lunch.

Come back at nine o'clock, wash, pick and prepare vegetables (including carrying firewood).

Everything will be ready at ten o'clock and Jojo can rest for an hour.

Start cooking at eleven o'clock, clean up the tables and chairs, and serve dinner on time at twelve o'clock.

At 12:30, I wash the pots and dishes, feed the pigs, the dogs, the chickens, the ducks, and the geese...

Well, it's all over at half past one.

Take a nap.

I got up at 2:30, washed and hung clothes, and took a break to watch Ultraman (thank God, Jojo knows how to use the washing machine).

At four o'clock, it's time to prepare dinner.

Prepare the ingredients and start cooking. Dinner is served at six o'clock sharp. Repeat the process of washing pots and dishes, feeding the pigs, the dog, and everything else.

Prepare to wash up and go to bed at eight o'clock.

Xin Jun stayed at home with Qiao Qiao for two days. In the silent night, he stared at the schedule in his hand with blank eyes.

—Something seems to be wrong.

Accustomed to the village's daily routine, he felt a little sleepy at just past nine o'clock, so he fell asleep very comfortably.

Then in the middle of the night, he suddenly sat up again:

He remembered what was wrong.

Because Qiao Qiao has no time to study at all throughout the day!

According to his original plan, with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, the child would have to study for more than four hours a day!

Where can I steal these four hours now

"Your family is too cruel."

He had been holding it in all night, and when he was squatting in the bushes brushing his teeth early in the morning, he finally couldn't help but speak to Song Tan:

"Qiao Qiao is so busy every day, how can I arrange the teaching plan?"

Song Tan blinked blankly:

"It's okay. It shouldn't be very strenuous."

Xin Jun was silent for a moment, then reacted: "When you mention strength, I remember that Qiao Qiao is really strong!"

Song Tan also fell silent. Qiao Qiao's strength gradually increased. She didn't expect this, but it wasn't too exaggerated, so she just regarded it as a natural ability.

She looked at the weeds that had been ruined and leaning all over the place, then turned her head to look at the increasingly crowded courtyard, and finally couldn't help muttering:

"It seems that we can't mop up the house when we're building it. Now there aren't enough bathrooms..."

Xin Jun also nodded: "Indeed, I can tolerate everything else, but it's inconvenient to wash your hair and take a bath in the summer - at least men and women should be separated."

Wait a minute!

He came back to his senses and said, "Don't lead me astray. I am telling you seriously now: you have to reduce some of Qiao Qiao's work, otherwise he will have no time to study."

After saying that, he hurried back to the room, took out the tablet, and showed her the densely packed schedule on it.

But Song Tan was also embarrassed and said: "Look at that table, is there anything I can delete on the schedule?"

My grandparents are old, of course they can’t do this.

Wulan was obsessed with picking tea, and Song Sancheng was either weeding, turning black fungus, or preparing manure for Zhang Bo every day.

What about Song Tan herself? She is just a brick, moved wherever she is needed.

So although Qiao Qiao is a little busy, except for the hard work of washing pots and dishes, she also enjoys feeding the pigs, the dog and everything else.

Most of the time he wasted was used to develop relationships with the few treasures and the big white bear.

Even Xin Jun couldn't bear to interfere with that warmth and happiness.

But the problem is that there is really no time.

It's okay to squeeze in, but Jojo has to watch two episodes of Ultraman every night before going to bed, and this part of the time can be used for studying.

but…

The master and the tutor looked at each other, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment.

"What's so difficult about this?"

But my seventh cousin couldn't stand it anymore.

"You are still the elder sister. Don't you feel bad for Qiao Qiao washing the pots and dishes every day? It will be so tiring when winter comes."

"I want 3,000 yuan a month from you, and you are not willing to hire a helper for your child?"

"Now there are ten people eating at home at one meal. Do you think it's easy to cook?" These ten people eat like piglets every day. My seventh cousin didn't even have the courage to say that he had to cook for twenty people in one meal.

According to Song Tan, all the housework can be done by others, and he just needs to sit back and wait.

but…

Now that we don’t make any money, my parents will never allow me to be lazy like this.

She also looked at her seventh cousin in embarrassment: "I'm afraid my mother won't agree."

Now Grandpa Li is in charge of the rice fields, Uncle Zhang is in charge of the back mountain, there are four temporary tea pickers on the mountain, and the family has to hire people to work from time to time, plus the seventh cousin, the chef...

It's a huge expense every month.

Uncle Seven snorted coldly, "You just said that Qiao Qiao can't be delayed like this. As parents, they were reluctant to let their child go out to suffer and be wronged. Now they have to spend more money."

"You don't need to pay him a high salary. He just needs to wash the pots and dishes every day. He doesn't need to do anything else."

Grandma Seven accompanied Uncle Seven every day. Although she didn't ask for any salary, she did a lot of work in Song Tan's house, such as picking vegetables, digging vegetables, and making fire.

Song Tan saw this and decided to keep some of the good stuff for the old couple.

Now that her seventh cousin had suggested this, she couldn't just keep dragging it out and wait for her seventh cousin to wash the pots and dishes out of pity for the child, right

So he simply nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask my mom about it at noon."

But the most urgent thing...

"Dad, find two people to tear down the wall over here and build two more bathrooms."

This really can't be delayed.

There are so many men and women in the house, and one toilet is not enough!

It’s not so bad now, but after May when the weather gets hot, we’ll have to queue up to wash our hair and take a shower every day - everyone is busy enough every day, how can we be in a good mood if we can’t wash and take a shower!

Zhang Yanping had been obsessed with his phone these past two days. He looked up when he heard this:

"Tan Tan, don't rush to cover it. The weather is good now. I think it will be fine if you hold on for another month or so."

"Why don't you find a designer to design the homestead to the maximum extent possible? After the design is done, we can start renovating the yard, kitchen, and bathroom."

"This way, if you plan to build a house later, you don't have to dig up the yard again."

Song Tan was indeed surprised and patted his shoulder:

"Brother Yanping, you are still good at spending money!"

Zhang Yanping also smiled slightly, looking very charming:

"The forecast says tomorrow will be sunny. Why don't you buy some more food? And set up a few more traps tonight."

"At three in the morning, fishermen will come to grab the fish."
