Chapter 238 The Importance of a Long Mouth
Thinking of this, the two of them trotted back towards home to see if the children who had gone to the market had returned, and gathered them together to tell them what had happened.
Along the way, the two also discussed the candidates for making toothpaste. After much thought, they decided that Erhe and Mei'er, who were relatively smart, would be better to take charge of this matter.
When he walked to the door, he ran into four children locking the door. He was about to go to the workshop to find them, but when he saw the two of them, Erhe stopped locking the door.
"Mom, Auntie, where have you been?"
"Let's go to your uncle the carpenter's house. Have you eaten yet?"
"We've eaten. My sister-in-law left the meal on the stove." The children nodded.
"Okay, let's go to the workshop together. I need to explain something to you."
"Hey, okay."
After locking the door, the four children followed the two men to the workshop.
"What's the matter, Mom?" As they were walking, Sizhu came up and squeezed in between the two of them. He reached out and grabbed one of them, looking up and asked.
"We'll know soon. Let's go find your sister-in-law and the others first." Zheng Yuan scratched his nose.
"Okay, Mom, let me tell you, we're going to the market today..." Sizhu didn't ask any more questions and turned to talk about the interesting things that happened when they went to the market today.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin tilted their heads slightly and listened patiently to Sizhu's repetitive chatter, commenting once or twice from time to time with gentle smiles on their faces.
Erhe, who was following behind, gritted his teeth at the sight of Sizhu's flattering look. Tao'er and Mei'er also looked at the three of them with envy.
Erhe secretly despised Sizhu's coquettish behavior. The two mothers hadn't even held them like this! This Sizhu, like a little girl, only knew how to act coquettishly.
But it seems impossible for him to act like a spoiled child like Sizhu, especially when he thinks that he is already such a grown-up boy, how could it be possible for him to be held on the left and right by two mothers?
Thinking about this scene, Erhe got goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't dislike Sizhu so much anymore.
When the group arrived at the workshop, only Xu Hui Niang, San Ni and Xing Er were helping Chen Chang An to brand the Jiang's logo on the toothbrush. Da Shu was not seen.
After asking, I found out that the child couldn't sit still and went to the fields. He is really a worried brother.
Zheng Yuan asked Sizhu to go and call Dashu back, saying that they had something to arrange.
After a while, Dashu came back with Sizhu, and Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin took the children to the kitchen.
"Children, I think you also heard Manager Fang talking about the Rose Valley in Zhaoming County yesterday. Your aunt and I plan to go there tomorrow."
"Are we leaving tomorrow?" Dashu was very surprised.
The other children were also frightened by the sudden news.
I did hear about the Rose Valley incident that day, and I also knew that the two mothers were planning to go there, but I didn't expect them to be so anxious.
From birth to now, except for the two original bodies occasionally returning to their mother's home, they have never been separated for such a long time.
"Yes, we have to go tomorrow. The rose bloom period is not long, we have to collect all the rose petals while they are in full bloom."
"Mom, are you two going by yourselves?" Tao'er was worried.
"Yes, just the two of us. That's why I called you all here. You will have to look after the house and the workshop while we're away."
"But it's so far, will there be any danger on the way? Mom, why don't I go with you? I'm strong and can take care of you if we encounter any danger." Erhe volunteered.
How could Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin not know what this boy was thinking?
Compared to going to school with the village chief, this kid is actually more interested in going out and doing business.
The reason why he went to school obediently was, on the one hand, because of the two people's painstaking brainwashing, and on the other hand, because he had paid the money and he felt that it should not be in vain.
But once there is a chance to go outside, this kid is the first one who can't sit still and wants to go along.
"What kind of danger can there be? Jiang Ji has already opened up this line. Ordinary thieves dare not get close to Jiang Ji's carriage. You just stay at home and protect these sisters and brothers with your eldest brother."
As soon as Zheng Yuan said this, Erhe's face visibly fell.
"Okay, don't be so depressed. We are going there for something important this time. We will definitely take you there when we have the chance in the future." Duan Minmin patted Erhe on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Auntie, I know it's an urgent matter, and I didn't even think about going out to play. I can still help you!"
Seeing that Zheng Yuan wasn't getting the point, Erhe simply looked at Duan Minmin with pleading eyes, trying to see if he could make a breakthrough.
"Our affairs are important, but so are the affairs at home. If you leave, your eldest brother will be the only one left at home. If someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, how can your eldest brother protect so many brothers and sisters at home?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Erhe's spirits instantly perked up a little.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zheng Yuan continued, "Your aunt and I may have to walk for ten days this time, so we need you to look after this family."
"Mom, don't worry, Hui Niang and I will definitely take good care of our younger brothers and sisters." Dashu promised first.
"Mom, we will be obedient."
"Uh-huh!"
The other children also responded obediently.
"Well, we know you are all good kids, so we can rest assured to leave the house to you. During this time when we are not at home, Dashu and Hui Niang will be in charge, and you younger ones will listen to your eldest brother and sister-in-law."
"Before we leave, let's go back and tell your grandfather and the village chief. If you have any difficulties, go to them for help."
"Especially when someone comes to your house to cause trouble, you must not act rashly. You are still children, and you can't do anything when you meet someone unreasonable."
"If they cause trouble, you should split up into two groups. One person should go to Grandpa, and the other should go to the village chief. Ask them to make the decision for you. They may not be able to completely resolve the matter, but at least you must ensure your own safety."
"If you feel wronged, you must bear it first and wait for your mother to come back and make the decision for you. Do you know everything?"
The children nodded to show that they understood.
"The next thing is the matter of this workshop. You don't have to worry about the toothbrush. The main thing is the toothpaste."
"From now on, a carriage will come every five days to transport the goods needed from various places, so we must prepare the goods before that."
"We used to prepare the toothpaste, and you just watched from the sidelines without handling it. Now that we are not here, we need two of you to prepare it."
"I have discussed this with your aunt, and Erhe and Mei'er will be in charge of preparing the toothpaste. After we have explained the details, you two can stay here, and we will tell you the proportions and methods."
"As for why we let Erhe and Mei'er stay here alone, let's explain it here. It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that the less people know about this, the less risk there is."
"You know we have to rely on this stuff to make a living in the future. Mom knows you are all good kids, but there are too many bad guys out there. If someone takes advantage of you when you are not paying attention, it will be bad."
"Erhe and Mei'er are smart in this regard, so we thought of letting them do this. Don't have any ideas in your mind."
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had no intention of hiding the truth from the children from the beginning. They both believed that it was wiser to speak openly than to hide it for their own good.
After watching too many TV dramas and reading too many novels in which the male and female protagonists and their families are suspicious of each other and eventually become enemies, they know too well the importance of having a mouth.
