Chapter 212: Training Together
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under Xia Wan’s persuasion, Xia Feng’s fighting spirit was quickly ignited. At first, he was still very confident, thinking that he could run the same distance as his sister. However, after running for a long time, Xia Feng realized that the gap between him and his sister was extremely wide.
His sister was still breathing steadily, but he had already begun huffing and puffing.
Xia Wan became more and more excited the more she ran. She was slightly sweating, but it made her feel very satisfied.
After running for an hour, Xia Feng panted and said, “Sister, I can’t take it anymore. I can’t run anymore.”
Xia Wan turned around and saw that Xia Feng and Xia Chen were both very tired.
She stopped in her tracks and smiled. “Let’s go back now. We’ve just started running, so an hour is enough. We’ll slowly increase the time in the future.”
Xia Feng stopped in his tracks, and his voice was trembling. “Sis, are we going to run for an hour each day?”
Xia Wan nodded. “Of course, if you want to succeed in anything, you need to persevere every day. If you only do it for a day, it won’t be effective. Besides, training your body is only the first step. When your physical fitness has improved, I will teach you the specific moves and teach you to identify the various parts of the human body. This way, you will understand where the weak parts are. Even if you meet someone stronger than you, you will be able to deal with them.”
Xia Feng’s mind was dizzy from listening to this, but when he thought of the people who came to the stall to cause trouble, he clenched his fists and said with a firm gaze. “Sister, I know. I will work hard. I’ll start exercising every day.”
“Alright, my Xia Feng is indeed the most sensible brother.” Xia Wan couldn’t help but touch Xia Fengs head, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
By the time they got home, Yan Han had already prepared breakfast for them. There were shredded potatoes, stir-fried meat with celery, scrambled eggs, and pumpkin porridge.
Xia Wan sniffed and felt very touched. After eating, she saw Yan Han change and carry her bag, looking like she was about to go out.
Xia Wan asked her, “Mom, where are you going?
Yan Han smiled. “You are all so busy. As a mother, I naturally can’t stay idle, so I plan to go out and look for a job. Yesterday, I asked the neighbors. They said that there is a place nearby that specializes in introducing jobs. Now, there are many jobs to help them cook and clean.”
“Anyway, I used to help out at home. Now that I’m in town, I can get paid as a domestic helper. This job suits me.”
Yan Han was about to leave when Xia Wan stopped her.
“Mom, have you asked how much you’ll be paid a month if you take this job?” she asked.
“I asked about that. He said that he could pay 10 yuan a day. That way, he would have 300 yuan a month. Moreover, this job is easy and doesn’t require long hours. Mom thinks it’s very good.”
Xia Wan nodded. According to the current economy, Yan Han’s income was considered to be pretty good.
However, she wasn’t paid 10 yuan to help one person out. Xia Wan remembered that in this era, one person usually had to work for an entire family. They might earn 2 yuan for helping the family cook two meals and 3 yuan for helping the family clean the house, in addition to other menial jobs that would amount to 10 yuan a day.
However, such an income was unstable. Sometimes, she wouldn’t get called up. Xia Wan did not want Yan Han to be so tormented.
“Mom, don’t do this anymore. Come and help me sell clothes. You can earn more money by selling clothes. Mom, help me sell clothes. I’ll give you a share of the income every day.” Xia Wan tried her best to persuade her.
Yan Han’s eyes widened. “What? Earning thousands of yuan a month? How is that possible?”
Xia Wan knew that Yan Han didn’t believe her. She took out her daily bookkeeping ledger and said, “Mom, look. This is the money we earned from selling clothes these few days. I’ve calculated our daily income. After deducting the cost, our daily net profit can reach thousands of dollars.”
“I went to Sister Hong and bought a lot of clothes these past two days. Now that the weather is getting colder, we should also prepare autumn clothes. My brother and I have been very busy recently. If we don’t sell these clothes now, we’ll have to keep them for next year. If we sell them next year, the price will definitely be lower. Mom, if you don’t help us, it’ll be our loss..”
