Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 506 - 46: Da Dan, the Strongest!_3
The kids were trembling with their hearts at the thought of two days of vegetable money costing 1.2 yuan!
Chu River, unable to interject: ...
So, on this bountiful day, a few kids, under the moonlight, holding kerosene lamps, began digging holes to plant vegetables in the previously leveled garden, with everyone busy.
Even Gu An, with a broken leg, was carried by his brother to the water pump, where he sat, his arms moving up and down, constantly drawing water for everyone to water the vegetable garden...
Chu River leaned back on his chair: "As expected, I’m the best at taking care of kids!"
Sui Feng, also not working, looked up at the dazzling starry sky, listening to the kids shouting, feeling immensely peaceful at the moment.
— These days, even going home has become a happy longing. It’s so nice!
But thinking about the money Chu River just gave Da Dan...
Sui Feng felt a bit of blissful wistfulness - hurry up with the college entrance exam!
Hurry up with getting a promotion.
With his current salary, after raising a few kids, he really can’t afford to support Little He anymore.
...
Gu An was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. Considering there are many kids at home, there must be a lot to arrange, so none of the women from the military district came over.
But this morning, as usual, Sui Feng went for training, and a few sister-in-laws planned together to come over with Sister-in-law Li from the commissar’s house —
Captain Shi’s family has three martyr’s children, plus two other children entrusted by their old families, and a sister who can eat a lot...
Anyway, they had to come and see if there’s anything they could do to help.
Previously they offered to help, but were refused, saying it was to exercise the kids... Now thinking about it, they should come.
Alas, having a big man taking care of so many little ones, what kind of life would that be?
Everyone was a bit worried.
Who knew, after finally turning to this secluded corner, the gate of the courtyard was wide open. A gentle breeze blew through, cooling everyone’s sweat, and the scenery before them was truly reassuring.
Inside the open courtyard gate, aside from the crisscrossing pebble paths, everything else was turned into patches of vegetable gardens. Inside, the seedlings of various sizes swayed their leaves in the wind, looking fresh and vibrant.
Although it was clear the ground had been newly turned, the neatness of it all earned the admiration of this group of diligent women.
They exchanged glances, understanding well the intense training the men must be undergoing recently, so it definitely wasn’t done by the men at home.
The kids were too young...
Probably it was Captain Shi’s sister, who can eat a lot, doing the work at home.
Alas!
Such a hardworking girl.
She must have been oppressed badly back in her hometown, so her body is weak and her appetite seems big. No wonder she doesn’t go out every day and doesn’t really chat with them...
With so much work waiting at home!
Thinking of this, a few sister-in-laws felt a bit embarrassed again —
The kids had always said that Teacher Xiao Chu at the nursery taught well, and they wanted to go every day. But then Teacher Xiao Zhou returned, and they thought Teacher Xiao Chu wouldn’t have time with the kids, so they suggested discussing it with her, saying work otherwise...
Alas!
Such a good girl, what they did before really wasn’t right. It’s just because Captain Shi is good-tempered that he offered not to do the work, wasn’t it because he didn’t want to trouble them?
With this mindset, looking again at the empty courtyard, their gazes had a hint of admiration.
It was at this moment that Da Dan and Gu Ping came over carrying a bundle of long bamboo poles:
"Aunt!"
Da Dan, sharp as always, seeing too many aunts he didn’t recognize, simply used a general term.
Gu Ping, catching on, also shouted sweetly.
The calls made everyone’s hearts blossom — Look at these kids. Although one is dark-skinned with a shaved head and the other is slightly thin and a bit shy, they both looked clean and had good spirits.
This proves Little Chu really knows how to take care of kids!
Da Dan has been running all over the community these days, so everyone knew him.
Sister-in-law Li spoke up:
"Da Dan, why do you have so much bamboo?"
Look at the cucumber seedlings in the field, they’re still small, not yet time to build trellises.
Da Dan wiped off his sweat, while leading the people to the shaded area under the veranda, putting the bamboo beside the vegetable garden:
"Aunt Li, our family has a lot of kids, and there’s not enough cloth, so aunt thought of a way to get some coarse old fabric. Just now, these vegetables were planted last night, and today the sun is too strong. We’re afraid they’ll wilt, so we’re building a trellis directly in the vegetable garden, and later we’ll spread the washed fabric over it to block some sunlight."
Da Dan never properly farmed vegetables back home, but he’s done plenty of assisting.
The vegetables planted last night became his treasures, not wanting to lose a single one, so when he saw the weather outside, he proposed this idea.
Vegetables need sunlight, but since they were just transplanted, they needed a day to adapt, didn’t they?
That’s what Da Dan thought.
