A family of three goes through the ages, not being a saint and not helping the poor

Chapter 275: Picking up the people digging the canal

At about six o'clock in the evening, Chu Yiling's family had just finished dinner when they saw Chu Mulin coming to their house. Chu Anshan quickly stood up and greeted Chu Mulin, "Uncle is here, come and sit down."

"I won't sit down. I came here today to trouble you to pick up the people who are digging the canal."

"No problem. Let Chuanzi go with me tomorrow. It will be a good opportunity for him to practice more."

"I want to thank you on behalf of Chuanzi. Let's meet at the tractor parking lot at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"Then I'll leave first." Chu Mulin turned around and left after he finished speaking.

After Chu Mulin left, Chu Yiling asked Chu Anshan, "Dad, why did the people digging the canal come back so soon? Didn't Baldy say they wouldn't be back until the New Year?"

"I don't know. Maybe this year's river doesn't have as much sand and rocks as in previous years, so they came back early."

"That's good. Digging a canal in this horrible weather is too much of a pain. I don't know how they managed to survive."

"Of course, I survived by relying on work points and my family. If I were them and couldn't earn money to support my family, I would make the same choice as them."

Chu Yiling fell silent after hearing what Chu Anshan said. After a long while, she said to Chu Anshan quietly, "Dad, I will never let you end up like that, so you will never have to endure the hardship of digging a canal."

"I know. I just said that to answer your question. Now you understand."

"understood."

"That's fine, go take a shower."

After hearing what Chu Anshan said, Chu Yiling nodded and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After she came out of the shower, she first wiped her hair half dry with a dry towel, and then sat in front of the sun to warm herself.

She didn't go back to her room to sleep until her hair was dry.

The next morning at around seven o'clock, Chu Yiling was awakened by the voices of Chu Anshan and Meng Qiuping. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. Seeing that it was already bright, she put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Chu Anshan had wrapped himself tightly, so she asked Chu Anshan: "Dad, are you leaving?"

"Yes, it's almost eight o'clock. I have to go meet up with the village chief and the others."

"Then go quickly. Remember not to drive the tractor too fast. Safety is the most important thing."

"I understand, then I'll leave first."

When Chu Yiling heard Chu Anshan's words, she said "OK" and stood at the door of the main hall watching Chu Anshan leave.

She didn't go to the bathroom to wash up until Chu Anshan's figure completely disappeared from her sight.

When she came out of the bathroom after washing up, she saw Meng Qiuping coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of steamed egg custard and two brown sugar buns. She asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, where did you get the brown sugar buns?"

"Of course I made it this morning. Eat it quickly, or it will be cold soon."

"it is good."

More than ten minutes later, Chu Yiling finished her breakfast and asked Meng Qiuping, "Mom, what are you going to do today?"

"Steamed buns. I plan to steam some more buns and put them in your space. When we get busy and don't have time to cook, we can just take them out and eat them."

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't picked up anything from the mall this year, how about I pick up a dough mixer today?"

"Yes, you can, but can your battery handle it?"

"Of course it can handle it. Besides, if it runs out of power, we can put it outside to charge it. Although the speed is a bit slow, it can be fully charged in four or five days, which is enough for us to use."

"Then take one out."

When Chu Yiling heard what Meng Qiuping said, she took out a dough mixer and made steamed buns with Meng Qiuping.
