The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 60: Sewing Machine

Fu Sui smiled and said, "Auntie, it's fine. I don't mind doing some work at home."

Li Xiufen laughed at his response, "So well-behaved, unlike your second brother," she said, heading out of the kitchen to call for Fu Hong.

"Fu Hong, come out and help."

Since Fu Sui didn't have the chance to ask earlier, he waited until Li Xiufen left before he spoke, "Sister... you just said..."

Before he could finish, Fu Xiao stood up and left the kitchen without acknowledging him.

These siblings... so awkward.

She had no desire to get involved in their complicated sibling dynamics.

Fu Grandfather was chatting with Fu Yu in the living room. Fu Xiao didn't enter but turned to the backyard to check on Fu Yu and Fu Hong, who were sanding wood.

Before long, Fu Wei Bo arrived with Fu Kai.

Fu Wei Bo exchanged pleasantries with the two brothers, while Fu Kai, being younger and unfamiliar with them, hurried over to Fu Xiao.

Fu Xiao smiled at the little brother clinging to her side, "Little Kai, how many work points did you earn today?"

Fu Kai proudly puffed out his chest, "I earned two work points today. Little Yu showed me a place full of pigweed."

"Wow, Little Kai is amazing. Did you remember to thank Little Yu?"

Fu Kai, in a childish voice, replied, "Little Yu said we're friends, so no need to thank each other. We're brothers, and brothers don't need to say thank you..."

Fu Xiao:...

This child seems only six, yet he understands so much?

Nearby, the actual brothers, who were tidying up the wood, were stifling their laughter.

Fu Kai leaned closer and whispered, "Sister, Little Yu asked why you're not coming today..."

Fu Xiao mimicked his tone, "Oh, Sister is busy today. I'll come tomorrow."

Fu Kai's face immediately brightened, and he skipped over to Fu Yu to watch him work on the wood.

At this moment, Fu Wei Bo came to the backyard, looking at the pile of wood, and asked, "What's this for?"

Fu Xiao approached and briefly explained the design for a bathtub that could accommodate Fu Yu, with a cover that left only his head exposed.

He quickly understood and smiled, "Simple. Just a bathtub with a cover, right?"

Fu Xiao nodded, clarified the design, and emphasized the need for the cover to fit around the head.

Fu Wei Bo nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and got to work.

He sawed the wood into even lengths and smoothed it down. The wood piles almost filled the entire backyard, and Fu Xiao began to doubt if Fu Hong's claim that it would be done tonight was true.

After observing for a while, Fu Xiao went back to the kitchen to help Auntie with the meal. She cut up the remaining half of the chicken and prepared mushrooms for a stir-fry.

Li Xiufen came in from the vegetable garden with two bunches of greens. Seeing Fu Xiao, she said with a smile, "Little Xiao, why don't you go inside and keep Grandpa company? I'll take care of the cooking."

Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Auntie, let me help you."

Just then, a knock came at the door. Li Xiufen went out to open it and saw a stranger standing there. "Who are you, and who are you looking for?"
