The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"Five dollars a month?" everyone exclaimed.

Although five yuan may not seem like a lot, most people now earn only a dozen yuan a month, or thirty yuan at most.

Therefore, these five yuan were not a small amount in the eyes of the sisters-in-law in the staff quarters. After all, if it was five yuan per family, wouldn’t the money be a lot if more families went to the Fu family for tutoring?

"Is it five dollars for three kids?"

"Yes, in addition to the younger one going to Xiao Fu's house every day to supplement the income, the two older ones will answer questions once a week, regardless of the subject."

"No restrictions on subjects?"

"Yes, that's Chinese, math, English, physics and chemistry together."

"Isn't once a week too little?"

"There are only five days in a week. During these five days, there is a subject that needs Xixi to answer their questions every day, so it's not too few days."

"Then do Political Commissar Qin's two children receive subsidies from Xiao Fu?"

Everyone suddenly thought of Sang Xiao, who had been going to the Fu family for two consecutive days.

Zhao Yufen: “Yes.”

"Five dollars a month, too?"

"Ah."

"This, I didn't realize that Xiao Fu's wife is quite good at making money."

"It would be great if she could make money. Xiao Fu is worried that she will be too tired, so he has warned Xiao Zhou not to take on more work for his wife. Xiao Fu's wife also said that the family already has enough children and can't add any more people. She said that she is afraid that with too many children, the tutoring effect will not be good."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"No more people?"

"Yeah." Zhao Yufen nodded. "If Xiao Zhou hadn't asked, Xiao Fu and his wife wouldn't even take in our three children."

"In Xiao Fu's words, no matter how poor his family is, they can't afford these five dollars. He didn't want to burden his wife for these five dollars. But Xiao Zhou felt that meeting the three siblings would embarrass him because their grades were too poor. So he had already finalized this with Xiao Fu before Xixi, Lao Zhou and I knew about it..."

"Then why did she take in the two children from Political Commissar Qin's family?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, Xiao Fu's wife and Qin Zhengwei's wife get along well."

No wonder I saw Qin Zhengwei's wife carrying a lot of bags to Xiao Fu's house just now? "

"Political Commissar Qin and his wife seem to want to have dinner with Xiao Fu and his friends."

"Have Xiao Fu and his wife agreed?"

"I don't know. I shouldn't ask too much about other people's homes."

"Then, is the cooking of Xiao Fu's wife really that delicious?"

“It’s really delicious.”

“Is it better than the one cooked by the chef at a state-owned restaurant?”

"Everyone's taste is different, it's hard for me to say, but I like it very much anyway."

Seeing that she had enough chicken and duck eggs, Zhao Yufen stood up decisively and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you for now. I have to deliver these eggs to Xiao Fu's wife in time."

Zhao Yufen knew that these women would chat endlessly, so after collecting enough chicken and duck eggs, she hurried away with her vegetable basket.

Watching her leave, Captain Zhang's wife snorted coldly and said, "No wonder she was unwilling to help us before. It turns out she was afraid of delaying her child's studies."

"So what should we do now? We can't ignore our children's studies."

"You ask me, I'll ask who goes."

After saying this, Captain Zhang’s wife left angrily.

The other sisters-in-law present looked at each other and said nothing, but they couldn't help but worry about their children's grades.

Many people thought about privately asking Lin Xi to accept their children, but no one told him because they were afraid that the competition would be too fierce and their children would not be able to squeeze in.

Before going to the Fu family, Zhao Yufen went back home.

They took out all the duck eggs in the house and made up the total before going to the Fu family next door. They then returned the extra money from buying chicken and duck eggs to Lin Xi and Sang Xiao.

After receiving the money returned by Zhao Yufen, the two looked at each other and said, "Sister Zhao, did you not take the money?"

Zhao Yufen: ???

"Why should I take the money? Aren't you going to share these salted duck eggs with me after you make them?"

"Then you can't not ask for a penny!"

"I only took 30 duck eggs, and you gave me 20 of them. The remaining 10 are my hard work fee."

"This……"

"We are all family, so there is no need to be so clear about the differences!"

Lin Xi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zhao Yufen.

"Xixi, if you feel bad about it, you can give me two more duck eggs later. My family doesn't have enough eggs, so I didn't take any."

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "That's right, then I won't be polite to Sister Zhao."

Sang Xiao: "Then when are we going to make salted duck eggs?"

"I'll do it during our break."

After Lin Xi finished teaching Fu Ning, he took Zhao Yufen and Sang Xiao to start pickling salted duck eggs.

If it were any other day, Fu Ning would definitely come to help, but because he was studying today, the job of pickling the duck eggs fell on Lin Xi and the others. Fortunately, wood ash and table salt were readily available at home, so the three of them got it done quickly.

"How long does it take to marinate before we can eat it?" Sang Xiao asked.

"At least a month!"

"So long!" Sang Xiao was shocked.

She thought these salted duck eggs could be eaten in ten days or half a month!

"When did you make these preserved eggs in your house?"

"Before joining the army."

"what?"

Sang Xiao was shocked again.

"Don't tell me, did you bring all these preserved eggs from your hometown?"

"What else can I do? I've only been in the army for a few days. Even if I want to make it, I can't eat it so quickly!"

Hearing this, Sang Xiao gave a thumbs up in admiration and said, "You and Xiao Fu are really amazing. When Lao Qin and I came here, we brought nothing but two sets of clothes to change."

Lin Xi rolled her eyes and said, "How can I compare with you? What are your family's conditions? What are our family's conditions? Except for you, I guess most of the sisters-in-law in this compound are like us and can't wait to move here with their houses in their hometowns. After all, every penny saved counts."

"Xixi, don't tell me it's true. Most of the sisters-in-law in our family compound are from rural areas like me. They would like to split every penny into two."

Sang Xiao: "It seems that I don't know how to live anymore."

"It's okay. You have money and can make money. Even if you don't know how to make a living, it can be forgiven."

Zhao Yufen agreed, "Yes, yes. Unlike our family, which is entirely supported by Old Zhou, you are also an income earner now, Xixi. Only I..."

Hearing this, Lin Xi smiled and said, "I only made five dollars from you and Captain Zhou, and ten dollars from Political Commissar Qin and his wife."

"Fu Huaichuan and I have been saving up the money from Weekend for him. We plan to give it to him when he gets married. However, Weekend has contributed a lot to our family, so Fu Huaichuan and I feel embarrassed to take more money from him. But if we don't take it, he will feel uncomfortable, so we just took it first..."

"Xiao Zhou is not short of money, you and Xiao Fu should stop saving money for him."

Sang Xiao and Weekend are both from Kyoto.

She knew all too well what the weekend was like.

Lin Xi: "Fu Huaichuan and I really didn't save him any money or be polite to him."

"Anyway, Lao Zhou's wife is in Fu Huaichuan and I's hands. We can use her when we need her, and save her for him if we don't need her, so he doesn't spend money recklessly."

Sang Xiao: ???

"It's the weekend and I've given you all my assets?"

"He gave it to us long before we got married. We later returned it to him, but he refused to take it."

"So, how much wealth does he have?" Sang Xiao boldly probed.

Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Can I tell you this?"

Sang Xiao was not disappointed about this.

She said, "It seems like you and Xiao Zhou have really become a family!"

"necessary!"

Sang Xiao: "It's not easy!"

It's hard for people like them who come from a "big family" to trust someone.

I would never hand over my family assets to anyone easily, but I just did it on the weekend.

How could Sang Xiao not be shocked and surprised? Not only Sang Xiao, but even Zhao Yufen was a little surprised.

It was the weekend and he was willing to give all his assets to Fu Huaichuan and Lin Xi, but neither Lin Xi nor Fu Huaichuan had any intention of taking them for themselves.

Fu Ning originally thought that Lin Xi would be back soon, but he waited and waited but did not see Lin Xi, so he had to follow the sound and look for her.

"Xixi, I have finished all the questions you assigned to me."

"Then you take a break and go feed the chicks, ducks and geese."

"Oh!"

Fu Ning turned and walked out.

He came back after walking only two steps, "Are we still going to class later?"

"Up."

Hearing the word "up", Fu Ning finally smiled.

Seeing this, Zhao Yufen whispered, "I didn't realize Ningning really likes studying."

"Ningning not only loves to study, he is simply thirsty for knowledge. But this is all thanks to Xixi. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have the patience to teach him. At least I don't have that patience. So being a teacher is not something that can be done by just someone with a high degree. It also requires methods and approaches. I can't do this job anyway..."

Hearing this, Zhao Yufen said, "I heard that you are a college student. Even a college student can't do this?"

“Those knowledge points may seem simple, but it’s really hard to explain them in an interesting and easy-to-understand way, at least I can’t do it.”

"Is that so?" Zhao Yufen nodded, not quite understanding.

Sang Xiao: "Sister Zhao, you don't think that you can be a good teacher as long as you have a high degree, right?"

"Let me tell you, being a teacher is definitely a skill, but it's a pity that good teachers are hard to find these days. However, Xixi is a very rare good teacher. Not only is she patient with students, but she can also make seemingly boring courses lively and interesting."

Zhao Yufen: "Our children also said the same thing, saying that Xixi speaks better than their teacher."

Lin Xi: ???

"Are you flattering me like this because you're afraid that I won't enjoy tutoring your kids?"

"Oh, you've seen through our thoughts!" Sang Xiao said in a pretentious manner.

After saying this, she started laughing first, and Zhao Yufen also started laughing.

Fu Ning was feeding the chicks and ducklings in the yard: ???

"Xixi, shouldn't we go to class?"

"Ningning urged me to go. I'll go teach Ningning first."

Sang Xiao: "Go ahead."

"Sister Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Yufen: "Nothing, what happened?"

"How about you stay and help me wash and cut the food for lunch? Otherwise, it will take me a long time to do it by myself."

Lin Xi: "You don't consider yourself an outsider."

Sang Xiao: "I thought since you're here every day, you can't treat yourself as an outsider. The main thing is that I don't know how to handle fish!"

Zhao Yufen: "It's okay, I'll help you."

Hearing this, Sang Xiao said, "Xixi, go and do your own thing. I have Sister Zhao to help me here. Sister Zhao, call me later and I will go to your house to help you. I promise that your work will not be in vain." Zhao Yufen originally wanted to refuse, but agreed after thinking of what Captain Zhou reminded her yesterday.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to hit it off immediately, Lin Xi hesitated for a moment before finally turning around and leaving.

Just like Sang Xiao said, she might come to their house every day in the future. She can eliminate the gap between her and Sister Zhao as soon as possible, which will be good for both of them.

The most important thing is that she has confidence in Sang Xiao.

She will definitely be able to take down Zhao Yufen.

Fu Ning's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Lin Xi coming out of the kitchen.

"Xixi, are we going to class now?"

"Correct!"

"Okay, then, Sister Sang and Aunt Zhao..."

"They are in the kitchen preparing the food I'm going to make for lunch, so we'll have class first." In order to save time, Fu Ning immediately focused his attention and started studying.

After Zhao Yufen helped Sang Xiao prepare the dishes that Lin Xi was going to cook for lunch, she went back to the Zhou family with her. Zhou Xiao didn't go back to the Fu family until he had helped Zhao Yufen prepare the dishes for lunch. He washed his hands and worked for a while before going to the kitchen with Lin Xi to cook lunch.

"Xixi, don't you feel annoyed cooking for so many people every day?"

"If I had to prepare all these dishes by myself, I would definitely be annoyed, but now you have prepared them for me, so I feel okay, it's not too hard. However, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so we may not be able to eat such a sumptuous meal in the future!"

After all, it’s hot, who wants to stay in the kitchen for an hour or two!

Hearing this, Sang Xiao asked, "Do you have an electric fan at home?"

"No."

How long have they been here?

There is no time to prepare these things.

"I'll buy it for you later, and you can't refuse!"

"Do you have connections?"

"You look down on me by saying this?"

"You can help us buy the fan, but we have to pay for it and the ticket ourselves. Otherwise, even if you buy the fan, I won't take it."

"With our relationship, do we really need to be so clear?"

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Besides, there is still a long time to go."

"Well, how many fans do you plan to buy?"

"Two!"

She and Fu Huaichuan have one child and four children.

Sang Xiao: “!!!”

"You are so generous!"

"I can't help it. No one can suffer. Fu Huaichuan and I have four children. I only have one hand, and I have to tutor them and fan them. I am really too busy. Fortunately, the money and tickets at home are enough for the time being. Of course, even if it is not enough, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Lao Zhou will cover us, so we don't have to worry..."

Hearing this, Sang Xiao smiled and said, "No wonder you treat Weekend as your own. It seems like he really doesn't hide anything from you guys!"

"In that case, Lao Zhou and I will pay to help you replace your small bed with a bunk bed, so that we don't have nowhere to sleep when we come to your house."
