Chapter 1094: Still Alive (8)

"Not only will you work, but you will also study and practice martial arts," Yang Ruxin smiled, "Whenever you're free, come over every morning and join everyone in exercising and learning to read... What you learn becomes your own skill, and in the future, even if you don't work for me, it'll be easier to find a job elsewhere..."

The Li family felt like they were living a dream that day. They not only had their fill of food but also took home plenty of fabrics and cotton when they left. Yang Ruxin had instructed Mrs. Duan to make thin coats for everyone to wear in the spring. In addition, they received several pounds of meat and a large bag of Sanhe flour—they wouldn't need to come over for dinner anymore but could cook at home instead.

"Oh, mom, pinch me," exclaimed Lidatou as they left the Red Building quite a distance behind, tugging at Mrs. Duan's arm, "to see if I'm dreaming..."

Mrs. Duan really did pinch Lidatou.
