Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 602 - 81: Where did all that money come from?
The moon hangs high in the sky.
The long-awaited family gathering finally comes to an end.
As Old Zhu leaves with the car keys, taking the adults and children away, Da Dan rushes out of the house first:
"Quick, quick, come help me!"
Ah, there’s a pile of things outside waiting to be cleaned up; can’t sleep, just have to deal with it.
But the problems Little Xuan sets are truly life-draining!
Especially with him and Gu Ping in one big room, putting their desks together as they solve problems—
Watching helplessly as the person next to you scribbles rapidly and stacks one paper after another, it’s such torment!
Finally, freedom is possible.
Da Dan thought: I’d rather go to the kitchen and marinate three barrels of pickles than do these papers anymore!
Seeing everyone outside who could drink two bottles of wine with just a dish of peanuts finally leave, he throws down his pen and invigorates himself without a word.
Clearing the plates, wiping the tables.
Da Dan places a pile of bowls and chopsticks by the kitchen faucet, using a dirty basin to gather a basin of plant ash.
In his hand is an old loofah gourd brought by Aunt Niu from next door yesterday, and he starts scrubbing with the plant ash.
Scrubbing while reminiscing about childhood—this was the life with Aunt, eating big fish and meat with plenty of oil every day, washing dishes and chopsticks with plant ash.
Otherwise, back when the family conditions were like before, a whole basin of soup showed no grease, just rinsing with water made it clean, so what use is this?
As for today’s leftovers...
Where are the leftovers?!
Don’t think Da Dan cooked for thirty people, but his aunt’s appetite has no limits; she can eat more or less.
Didn’t you see how the uncles and aunts stopped mentioning matchmaking after she started eating?
In this era, food really tests a person’s household strength!
Yun Baoni is boiling hot water in the kitchen; the previous pot of warm water was already carried to the makeshift bathroom for his aunt’s bath. It’s already late night and has gotten a bit cold, so the girls need to boil water to wash.
As for the men... the men can do whatever.
If they want convenience, they can rinse with cold water; if they’re afraid of the cold, they can boil it themselves.
"Da Dan," Yun Baoni called him: "Don’t wash them, leave it for tomorrow, it’s so late."
Da Dan shook his head:
"Tomorrow morning, we still have to cook, no time to wash them. Since I’m waiting to take a bath anyway, might as well get it done!"
Looking up at the light still on, couldn’t help but exclaim with heartache:
"Tonight’s wave of electricity, must have cost fifty cents!"
But all things considered, it’s indeed much more convenient than kerosene lamps.
Yun Baoni held back a laugh—now that Da Dan is earning money, he only complains about the electric bill but doesn’t suggest turning it off.
However, he truly worked hard today, so Yun Baoni advised: "It’s too late, just throw the clothes you changed into the basin, I’ll wash them tomorrow."
In the early years, household clothes were assigned to him, but as the children gradually grew older, everyone tacitly washed their own clothes—Chu River didn’t even notice.
After all, being someone who wouldn’t even care if an oil bottle fell over, what would she notice? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
As long as there were clean clothes each day, it’s fine.
Da Dan nodded: "Divide two basins, I’ll wash last later, pour the hot water from the pot in, and soak it with laundry detergent."
Shi Suifeng came out from the backyard, paused after hearing this.
Whether he was there or not didn’t change Little He’s easy-going life.
...
But the recent few days have brought enough reality already, so this small emotion didn’t leave much in his heart.
Shi Suifeng washed his hands, moved the tables placed in the yard back into the house, and then squatted by the basin to help Da Dan wash dishes.
"Uncle, you don’t need to do this, I’ll handle it."
Da Dan teased his uncle, but everyone in the family knows that in these years, if it weren’t for his uncle’s increasing prospects, their days wouldn’t be so smooth.
It’s just that men, Da Dan has seen many.
The big guys at the village campsite puff themselves up every day, making Da Dan feel the need to occasionally bring them down to reality; it saves the family a lot of trouble.
But now looking at his uncle’s taut forearm and solid muscles, he can’t help but feel envious...
After all, he’s still only 1.7 meters tall!
Not only is he not tall, but he’s also not sturdy enough.
If it weren’t for cooking every day, building up his arm strength, he would’ve truly become a delicate pretty boy by now.
If he doesn’t grow soon, Little Xuan will catch up with him in a few years!
He’s three years older than Little Xuan, after all.
