“Teacher, Yibao, Erbao, and I all want to sign up. We want to grow vegetables and earn money,” Yibao was the first to raise his hand.

Erbao quickly added, “Yes, yes, Teacher, Yibao, Sanbao, and I want to sign up. We want to earn money to buy meat, buy pretty clothes for Mom, and give Mom money.”

Seeing both of his older brothers raise their hands, Sanbao also raised his hand. “Sanbao is good.”

Teacher Jiang was moved by their words as a woman, and she was happy for the three brothers’ mother to have such filial children.

Some children, however, sneered and muttered disdainfully, “Peasant legs.”

“Did you hear that? They call her ‘Mom.’ Only country people call their mothers that.”

“Yeah, they must all be from the countryside.”

Before, everyone was fascinated by them being twins, but there were also children who didn’t like them.

Now, those who didn’t like them found an opportunity to mutter a few words.

Some children were tempted to sign up when they saw the twins sign up, but in the end, they held back.

Some didn’t like farming, and some didn’t know how to farm.

There were also some children who signed up.

“Teacher, I want to sign up too.”

“Teacher, me too.”

Although the children wanted to earn money, there were few who were willing to farm.

In the end, there were only five children who signed up.

Among them, the three brothers were included.

The other two were a child who traded dried sweet potatoes with Yibao, named Yang Wenjie, who sat in front of Sanbao.

He knew where Teacher Jiang lived, but after school, both he and the twins forgot to bring him there.

The other one was Cheng Yingyong, the child who ate the apple from Sanbao.

Two other children also wanted to earn money to buy things they wanted.

Teacher Jiang didn’t expect the children to sign up for farming.

It was just that the children asked, and after thinking about it for a few days, she came up with this method.

She thought it was a good way to let the children experience the life of the working people and ensure their safety.

After all, the vegetable garden was next to the back door of the residential area, where soldiers stood guard, so it was very safe.

If anything happened, they could just call out.

But little did she know, when the children who said they wanted to earn money heard that they had to farm, they were unwilling to sign up.

“Lin Haizhi, Lin Hairui, Lin Haiyang, Yang Wenjie, Cheng Yingyong, are you sure you want to take a plot of land?” Teacher Jiang confirmed with them again.

The three brothers nodded without any objections.

Yang Wenjie and Cheng Yingyong were hesitant at first, but when they saw the three brothers nodding, they also nodded along.

“Alright, during the afternoon’s free activity class, the other children can do their own activities, and I’ll take you to the field.” It was good that there were five children willing to participate.

Even if there was only one, she would take it seriously.

“Teacher, the three of us are brothers, can we just take one plot of land? Sanbao is too young to handle a plot of land on his own, so we want to farm together,” Yibao spoke up.

Teacher Jiang agreed without hesitation, “Of course.”

Then she looked at Yang Wenjie and Cheng Yingyong, “How about you two also share a plot of land and work together? If you manage one plot well and are still willing, you can take another plot, okay?”

Yang Wenjie and Cheng Yingyong naturally had no objections.

…

Ning Shu was still unaware of what was happening.

She went to the post office to send dried goods to Lin’s mother and He Ling separately.

Then, she went to the department store to deliver eggs to Sun Yulan.

The eggs were the ones she bought for the family on the app.

She didn’t inquire about the sewing machine spool, but Sun Yulan helped her buy a bicycle in advance.

She was the beneficiary, so she directly took the fresh eggs from home to thank her.

However, when she returned, she learned from the sentry at the guard post about the incident of the three brothers answering the phone.

She found it amusing and curious.

She didn’t expect Yibao and Erbao to answer He Ling’s phone.

The two children were becoming more and more outgoing, which was good.

She hoped they would live happily and energetically.

Ning Shu planned to find out about the phone call when her son came back.

Lunch was shrimp and egg stir-fry, cabbage soup, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fermented rice fish.

The shrimp was bought from today’s app, enough for the whole family of seven, so she bought quite a lot.

It had to be said that it was a good opportunity to eat seafood here.

Almost all the seafood that appeared on the app could be bought because they were in Haikou.

To others, even Lin Guodong, they would think she was trading with the residents of the island.

After all, the residents of the island often used seafood to exchange for things with the people on the mainland.

If this were the Qinglin Bay Production Brigade, they would have to do it secretly, pretending to be from a state-owned restaurant.

“Mom…”

“Mom, we’re back.”

“Mom, Sanbao is here…”

【Woof woof woof…】

Not long after Ning Shu finished preparing lunch, she heard the calls of Sanbao, Da Mao, and Tie Dan outside.

The first thing Da Mao and Tie Dan did when they came back was to queue up to eat from the communal bowls.

Besides eating, their main job was to escort the children to school.

Wasn’t this life similar to that of many grandparents in later generations?

And the first thing the children did when they came back was to wash their hands.

While Yibao and Sanbao were washing their hands, Erbao ran to the door and began to chirp about the day’s events, “Mom, Yibao, Sanbao, and I took a plot of land at school today.”

“Huh?” Ning Shu didn’t understand. “A plot of land? Is it because Labor Day is coming?” After thinking about it, it could only be Labor Day.

She remembered when she was in elementary school, on Labor Day, the teachers would take them to do labor.

So, was Erbao and the others talking about Labor Day?.

“What Labor Day?” Erbao, who had never experienced Labor Day, didn’t understand.

“We’re growing vegetables to sell and make money. We kids can make money too.”

“What do you mean? Slow down and tell me from the beginning,” Ning Shu was confused.

Kids growing vegetables to make money?

“It’s about growing vegetables to make money,” Erbao pursed his lips, trying to recall the events in his mind, but couldn’t explain it coherently.

He wasn’t good at explaining things in detail.

“Mom…” At this moment, Yibao, who had finished washing his hands, came over with Sanbao.

“It was the day we went to school…”

Yibao explained the whole thing, “…Today, the teacher said we could take a plot of land, and the vegetables we grow can be sold to the cafeteria, so we can make money.”

“Well, that’s great,” Ning Shu understood now. She gave a thumbs up to the three boys.

“Our three boys are amazing. They’re finally little pillars of the family. You can grow vegetables and make money. To celebrate your ability to grow vegetables and make money, each of you will be rewarded with some pocket money today.”

As soon as they heard about the allowance as a reward, Yi Bao and Er Bao were extremely happy.

“Mom, really?” Er Bao grinned widely, almost reaching his ears.

It’s because Er Bao, being a little kid, didn’t know the value of money yet.

He was easily persuaded by a penny.

If he were a bit older, he would have known.

The snacks he usually eats cost more than a penny.

“Really.” Ning Shu went to the room and took out three pennies from the purse. “Here, one for each of you.” She gave one penny to each of the three kids.

The three kids were all very happy with their pennies.

“Brother, keep this.” Er Bao handed the allowance to his older brother for safekeeping.

Since their money and reward stars were all managed by Yi Bao, he didn’t think it was wrong to give it to his brother to look after.

San Bao watched Er Bao give the money to Yi Bao and, not knowing what the money was for, he also handed his over to Yi Bao.

“Okay.” Yi Bao took the money from his two younger brothers, went back to the room, and put it in the purse.

Along with the New Year’s money, they had… he didn’t know how much.

He had only been attending kindergarten for a few days and didn’t know how to count money.

Yi Bao was now somewhat well-off.

During New Year’s, Ning Shu gave each of the three brothers 2 cents as New Year money, totaling 6 cents.

Following Ning Shu’s example of giving New Year’s money, this year Lin’s mother also gave each of the children in the family 5 cents, totaling 15 cents for the three kids.

Then, the eldest gave each of the three kids 2 cents, totaling 6 cents.

The second eldest also gave each of the three kids 2 cents, totaling another 6 cents.

It was rare for Zhang Qinfang to be generous with New Year’s money because Ning Shu gave their family 8 cents.

She gave out 6 cents, still making a profit.
