Fang Meiyun was still adjusting to some things, like how so many people could bathe together, and she even noticed some staring at her, which made her quite uncomfortable.
Bathing in this winter weather, however, was especially comforting.
Even Grandma Fang felt her body relax significantly, as if she had lightened a great deal.
Seeing that there was also a washing machine at home made laundry particularly convenient.
"Xiao Yun, Xinxin, you and Grandma Fang will squeeze onto one bed."
Zhao Xinxin had no objections.
Previously, because of the cold weather, she had already squeezed onto a bed with Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
"Sister-in-law, we have no problem," they said.
As for Er Dan and Chaoyang, of course, it was Zhao Tianlei who spoke to them.
"Not a kang?" Er Dan still thought it would be a kang bed?
"Electric blanket, it’s warm to sleep in during winter. The three of us can squeeze in, the bed sister-in-law originally bought is relatively big, we can fit."
"Mom, are we going to sleep with you and Dad from now on?"
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "You’ll temporarily be sleeping with your dad and me, and do your homework here too."
"Da Bao, I’m assigning you a task. From the moment I finish speaking, you start teaching Er Dan some characters."
"Mom, I promise to complete the task."
Da Bao agreed, which was a good thing.
Zhao Tianlei was still washing clothes outside.
Some clothes could be washed in the machine, but some personal garments still needed to be hand washed.
"You want to go check out the garment factory?"
It was still unknown when the garment factory would start operating.
"No rush, we can look tomorrow, no harm in that. How should we arrange Er Dan and Xiao Yun?"
Yun Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "What about Xiao Yang?"
"I want to send him to the garment factory to help me manage things. The former factory manager is too conservative and, being quite old, can’t keep up with today’s youthful trends."
Seeing that he had already arranged Chaoyang’s destination, Yun Xiaoxiao thought about Fang Meiyun, "We could temporarily have Fang Meiyun work in the accessory shop to learn some sales, broaden her perspective, and then enroll them in a class. Xiao Yun and Xinxin don’t mingle, so we’ll see when night school starts and enroll them in fashion design classes. They both know how to make clothes."
"As for Er Dan, I really haven’t figured out where to send him. What about you?"
Er Dan was still quite clever.
And being young too, should he be sent to the garment factory or put in a shop?
"I plan to send him to be an apprentice to learn how to repair some appliances."
Er Dan hadn’t been to school, recognized very few characters, and even if enrolled in night school, he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the learning progress, especially given his young age. Actually, it was best to send him to school.
But he had never formally studied before, so they certainly couldn’t send him to primary school, could they?
The teachers there wouldn’t accept him either.
He would be an apprentice while learning to recognize characters.
"You go ask him later if he’s willing?"
If the others didn’t agree, what then?
Wouldn’t it all be in vain?
"Don’t worry, he’ll agree. Anyone who gets the chance to learn a skill, unless they’re a fool, would agree."
For Er Dan, surviving was enough.
Now that he was in Capital City, he should work on recognizing characters. After all, he’s still young and has potential for growth.
As for Chaoyang, he liked studying. Should he go to night school?
Since he hadn’t earned any money yet, it would mean a significant expense. He wouldn’t mind, would he?
"Before, Chaoyang lied to Grandma Fang, telling her to come to Capital City to help with cooking, and we would provide room and board."
So did Grandma Fang agree to come to Capital City for this reason as well?
To cook and provide room and board?
"How are Grandma Fang’s cooking skills?"
