Chapter 109 Going to Wu Qiuhong's House
After Xia Guofang and Xu Yumei left, Xia Yichu closed the door and went to find Wu Qiuhong. There were too many loquats; she had been working with them for an hour and still had a lot left, so she went to find someone to help her.
I glanced at my watch; it was a little past nine. Qiu Hong should be home and not at work at this time. Twenty minutes later, I saw Wu Qiu Hong washing clothes in the yard of a house.
"Autumn Red"
"Yichu, come in quickly."
Seeing that she had put down the clothes she was holding, Wu Qiuhong happily walked over.
"You're doing laundry, where's your sister?"
Besides asking Wu Qiuhong to help peel and pit the loquats, Xia Yichu also wanted Wu Qiuhong's sister to help feed her cats and dogs while she was away during the summer vacation.
"She's pasting cardboard boxes in the room. Sit down for a bit, I'll wash my clothes right away."
When her sister was mentioned, Wu Qiuhong looked unwell, her face showing worry.
"Okay, it's alright, take your time washing."
Wu Qiuhong went inside to get a chair for Xia Yichu to sit on, and then started washing clothes herself.
"Qiu Hong, I've come here this time and need your help with something."
"Okay! What is it?" Wu Qiuhong said without looking up as she washed the clothes.
"I wanted to make loquat syrup, but it took me a long time this morning to peel and pit the loquats before I could make a little bit."
"I'll help you. I still have one day left this month without a break. I'll ask my boss for leave on my way to your house."
She has two days off each month, and she can rest whenever she wants.
"Okay, invite your sister too. There's one more thing. I'm going to my uncle's place during the summer vacation, and I'd like your sister to help me feed the cats and dogs. I'll pay her three hundred a month."
"Why would I need to pay? It's just feeding the cats and dogs, no need to pay. I'll go hang up the laundry, and then we'll go home together."
After Wu Qiuhong finished speaking, she picked up her clothes and left. Xia Yichu would definitely have to pay her; it wasn't like she was only feeding her for a few days. She was supposed to be back in Pengcheng soon after school started, which would be at least a month and a half. Feeding her three times a day, how could she not pay?
"Qiu Hong, ask your sister later if she's willing to talk about it, since I'll be gone for a long time."
She wanted to ask Xia Guoan where Xiao Cheng was so she could go see him, and also needed to go home to spend some time with her uncle and aunt. Thinking about it this way, she realized that summer vacation wouldn't be enough time at all.
"All right"
Wu Qiuhong felt uncertain about what had happened to her sister recently, wondering if her sister would be willing to help.
"I'll go and call her out."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door."
Wu Qiuyue made paper boxes in her room from morning till night, earning about five or six yuan a day.
"Qiuyue, come with me to my friend's house and help her with some chores."

"Big sister, I don't want to go."
Wu Qiuyue spoke softly, then lowered her head and continued working. A while ago, her landlord introduced her to a job in a kindergarten cafeteria, where she was targeted by someone she worked with.
At first, they complained that the vegetables and dishes weren't washed properly and found fault with everything. Later, as soon as she got to work, they would whisper all sorts of unpleasant things in her ear, belittling Wu Qiuyue to the point of being worthless.
Over time, Wu Qiuyue didn't want to go to work anymore, and every time she went to work was painful. She couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat during the day.
Wu Qiuhong noticed something was wrong with her sister and, upon asking, learned that her sister had suffered so much injustice. She immediately had her sister quit her job. They didn't dare confront the person who wronged them, nor did they dare tell the landlord; they simply said they didn't want to work there anymore.
"Yichu is a very nice person. She said she wants you to feed her cats and dogs during the summer vacation. Don't you like small animals? Her cats and dogs are very cute."
"Big sister, I still don't want to go out," Wu Qiuyue said with a troubled expression.
"Why don't you come with me to her house first and see her cats and dogs? We can talk about whether you need any help later, okay?"
Wu Qiuhong continued to persuade her, saying that if her sister continued like this, she would get sick from bottling up her emotions.
Wu Qiuyue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. She put down the cardboard box in her hand and nervously followed her sister out.
"Yichu, my younger sister Qiuyue."
After she finished speaking, Wu Qiuhong asked her sister to greet Xia Yichu. Wu Qiuyue lowered her head and called out, "Sister Yichu."
Her voice was barely audible, and she stood timidly beside Wu Qiuhong. No wonder Wu Qiuhong said her younger sister had trouble finding a job; she was introverted, only about 1.5 meters tall, and very thin. She didn't look seventeen at all; she looked at most fourteen or fifteen.
"Okay, let's go now!"
Xia Yichu and Wu Qiuhong talked the whole way, but her sister didn't say a word. Sometimes she would glance at Xia Yichu, but Xia Yichu would notice and she would immediately lower her head.
"Yichu, wait for me here. I'm going to ask the boss for leave."
They soon arrived at Wu Qiuhong's workplace. She went in to ask for leave, while Xia Yichu and Wu Qiuyue waited at the door.
"Qiuyue, I'm going away for summer vacation, probably for more than a month. Would you like to come to my house and help me feed the cats and dogs? It's not far from where your sister works, my house is just two streets away."
Wu Qiuyue didn't speak, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"I'll give you three hundred a month. If you'd like, come to my house in the next few days to get acquainted with them."
If she didn't want to, Xia Yichu planned to send them to Wang Shengli's house so his mother could take care of them. She'd heard his mother liked animals and kept cats and dogs herself.
"I...can I think about it?"
She only earns a little over a hundred yuan a month making paper boxes, but she can earn three hundred yuan a month feeding her cats and dogs. She's tempted, but she's afraid she'll be too clumsy to do it well.
"Okay, I have a week of summer vacation left. Think it over carefully."
When Wu Qiuhong came out, they were no longer speaking.
"I've taken the day off, let's go!"
It takes about seven or eight minutes to get from Wu Qiuhong's workplace to Xia Yichu's home. When you get to the door, you can hear dogs barking inside.
"My dog is called Mao Mao, and that cat is called Qiu Qiu. It's rather lazy," Xia Yichu said, pointing to the cat under the tree.
Wu Qiuyue's eyes lit up when she saw the cat. What an adorable cat!
"Qiuyue, you can go and pet it; it won't bite."
Xia Yichu could tell from her expression that she must really like kittens. Wu Qiuyue looked at her sister.
"Go! Go and take a look."
Wu Qiuyue went over to look at the kitten, while Wu Qiuhong started working after seeing so many loquats. Xia Yichu took the loquats she had peeled and pitted that morning and put them in to boil first, as the pot was too small to boil them all at once.
Xia Yichu had never made loquat syrup before, so she asked the old lady when she bought it that morning. The old lady told her to first put the loquat pulp in a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then simmer it over low heat.
Stir constantly during cooking to prevent burning. Once it reaches a thick consistency, add sugar and continue cooking until it becomes a paste.
Xia Yichu did as instructed, pouring the loquat pulp into the pot, adding water from her spatial dimension, and turning on the heat. She dared not leave the kitchen and stayed nearby, stirring occasionally.
"Qiuhong, I'm going out to buy a jar."
"it is good"
The first batch was cooked and it was a great success. Xia Yichu checked the time and it was almost 11:30.
She went to the market to buy vegetables in the morning and happened to run into an old lady selling loquats. She suddenly wanted to make loquat paste, so she hadn't bought a jar yet.
She went to buy jars and also to buy some food, since the kitchen was unusable for cooking. After telling Wu Qiuhong, she went out.
