Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

The next day, after He Yuzhu left, Liu Xiuxiu felt bored, so she picked up three pieces of candy and planned to go to the front yard to find the third aunt. She walked to the door of the third aunt's house and knocked gently, making a "knock knock knock" sound.

After a while, the voice of the third aunt came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

Liu Xiuxiu smiled and replied, "Third Auntie, it's me, Liu Xiuxiu."

When Auntie No. 3 heard that it was Liu Xiuxiu, she smiled and opened the door to let Liu Xiuxiu in. Liu Xiuxiu handed the candy in her hand to Auntie No. 3 and said, "Auntie No. 3, I have nothing to do at home, so I thought of getting some matchboxes to make paste."

The third aunt took the candy and smiled even more brightly. She patted Liu Xiuxiu's hand and said, "Xiuxiu, you are so thoughtful. I was planning to get some matchboxes too. Since you came to me, the third aunt will take you there."

Liu Xiuxiu was delighted when she heard this and quickly thanked her, "That's great. Thank you, Auntie."

The third aunt smiled and shook her head, saying, "You're welcome. We are all neighbors, and we should help each other." Then, she changed the subject and said to Liu Xiuxiu, "But there is a limit on the number of matchboxes you can get. Each person can only get 500 at a time. You can only get more after you have finished making them and handed them in."

After listening to the explanation of the third aunt, Liu Xiuxiu nodded obediently with an understanding expression on her face. She was secretly glad that she had the third aunt to guide her, otherwise she might still be confused. So, she said to the third aunt gratefully: "Thank you, third aunt, it's all thanks to you."

Seeing Liu Xiuxiu's sensible appearance, the third aunt was also very happy. She pushed her own cart with a smile on her face and took Liu Xiuxiu to the match factory. Along the way, Liu Xiuxiu looked around curiously, full of curiosity about everything around her.

Arriving at the match factory, the three aunts and Liu Xiuxiu were surprised. There was already a long line in front of them, winding and twisting like a long dragon. The three aunts stood on tiptoe and looked forward from time to time, fearing that the matchboxes would be gone by the time it was their turn.

Liu Xiuxiu didn't expect that this seemingly simple job of pasting matchboxes would be so attractive. She looked at the dense crowd in front of her and couldn't help but sighed: "Wow, so many people came to get matchboxes, I really didn't expect it."

After hearing what Liu Xiuxiu said, the third aunt smiled and said, "Yes, it's not easy to find a job nowadays. Everyone wants to earn more money to supplement their family income. So although the job of pasting matchboxes is hard, everyone is willing to do it."

Liu Xiuxiu was deeply moved by what the three aunts said. She nodded deeply and looked at the crowd in front of her with a firm gaze, as if she was silently making a promise to herself: she must work hard, earn more money, not let Brother Yuzhu suffer so much, and she must also contribute to the family.

The third aunt looked at Liu Xiuxiu's determined expression and knew that she had understood what she meant. So she continued to explain patiently: "Xiuxiu, it's really hard to find odd jobs on the street now. Most people come to the match factory to take on the task of pasting matchboxes. And if you have good skills and are fast, there will be leftover white flour. This white flour is a good thing, so everyone is scrambling for this job."

Liu Xiuxiu listened to the explanation of the third aunt, and her heart became more determined. She thought that she must work hard to earn more money and save white flour for her family.

When the time comes and she has enough flour, she will make delicious dumplings for He Yuzhu. Thinking of He Yuzhu's satisfied expression when he eats the dumplings she made, Liu Xiuxiu's heart is filled with warmth and anticipation.

The third aunt looked at Liu Xiuxiu's expectant eyes and couldn't help but smile. She knew that the little girl was thinking about something good, but she didn't discourage her enthusiasm.

On the contrary, she encouraged: "Xiu Xiu, your idea is very good. As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you can do it. Come on!"

Liu Xiuxiu listened to the words of the third aunt and was full of confidence. She nodded vigorously and said with a firm look: "Third aunt, I will definitely work hard." After that, she followed the third aunt into the long line, ready to start her first odd job career.

The two of them soon got their turn, as the stock of matchboxes was still sufficient, so they each received 500 matchboxes and hurried to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were seen by Aunt Liu and her friends who were chatting. Aunt Liu was sharp-eyed and saw the matchbox in Aunt Three's hand at a glance. She immediately asked, "Aunt Three, have you gone to get the matchboxes? Do you have any left?"

The third aunt smiled and replied, "Yes, there are still quite a few. If you go now, you should still be able to get some."

When Aunt Liu heard this, she immediately couldn't sit still. She hurriedly said hello to Aunt Three, turned around and ran home, muttering: "I have to go quickly, otherwise it will be gone."

When the others saw this, they also took action. The second and first aunts were from relatively well-off families, so they did not follow to get the matchboxes. The people of the Jia family had never thought of making money by pasting matchboxes, so they had no interest in it.

After Liu Xiuxiu returned home with the third aunt, she immediately began her learning journey. She stood beside the third aunt, watching every move intently, afraid of missing any details. Seeing Liu Xiuxiu's dedication, the third aunt smiled with satisfaction and patiently explained every step to her.

"First, you need to mix flour and water in a certain proportion, stir evenly, and boil it into a paste." The third aunt said while operating skillfully. Liu Xiuxiu listened carefully and nodded from time to time to show her understanding.

After the third aunt finished making the batter, she started to make matchboxes. Liu Xiuxiu watched the third aunt's steps and took notes carefully. After she memorized them all, Liu Xiuxiu said goodbye to the third aunt.

Back home, Liu Xiuxiu started to do it herself. She followed the steps of the three aunts and started to make the batter. She carefully controlled the heat and stirred the batter, fearing any mistakes. People who didn't know would think she was completing something important.

After the batter was ready, Liu Xiuxiu picked up a matchbox and carefully folded it along the marks on it. Then, she applied a small amount of batter along the marks and carefully pasted it. Although her movements were a bit clumsy, she still successfully pasted the first matchbox.

Liu Xiuxiu picked up the matchbox she had pasted and looked at it carefully. A happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had accomplished something great. Then, she lowered her head and continued to work.
