Lu Jiao patted the Fourth Born's head, "Your dad is teaching students to earn money. The students are paying for his help. We have a big family and it costs a lot to feed all of us. Of course, your dad needs to make money."
Lu Jiao was trying to teach the four little ones that as men, they should work.
The four little ones listened to her and thought it over, "Mommy, you're right."
Men should work and make money for their families. Their mommy shouldn't have to do everything.
The next day, bright and early, Lu Jiao asked Lu Gui to get up and help with today's lunch. From tea to vegetables, to alcohol, as well as dessert and fruit, Lu Jiao made a list and asked Lu Gui to go out and purchase from the list.
Lu Jiao asked Feng Zhi and aunt Qiu to help her make stuffed pastries. She planned on giving those out to her neighbors. Since she'll be seeing these people around, she preferred to establish good relationships with them.
