Mrs. Ou laughed and said, "Your second uncle, he does toys and clothes in G City... In short, he’s in business and makes money."
Although Mrs. Ou used to think her second son was quite hopeless, now seeing him running a business properly, she felt quite relieved.
"What’s the matter, Shiwu, are you missing your uncle?" Mrs. Ou asked while holding Huo Shiwu’s hand.
Everyone in the family spoils Huo Shiwu, but even Mrs. Ou had to admit, her second son, every ti he cos back, would give Shiwu anything.
He spoils the child more than Shiwu’s own mom and dad.
However, Huo Shiwu shook his head.
He doesn’t miss his second uncle at all.
His second uncle is even dumber than his mom.
He just wants to know how his second uncle makes money.
But... according to grandma, it seems second uncle makes money by doing business?
Shiwu doesn’t fully understand what doing business is.
But he vaguely knows it’s probably not sothing kids can do.
There’s no problem though, when he grows up, he’ll do business too!
If his uncle, so dumb, can make money with business, then surely he can earn big bucks in the future.
From this day, young Huo Shiwu set a goal in his heart to make big money by doing business.
Many years later, no one could guess that the beginning of business mogul Huo Lixing’s ambition was just wanting to earn milk powder money for himself.
At this mont, Huo Shiwu suddenly asked, "Grandma, you and Grandma Hua don’t go to work, don’t do business, do you have money?"
Grandma Hua is the nanny working in the Ou Family.
Mrs. Ou was taken aback by Shiwu’s sudden question.
Kids have thoughts that wander everywhere.
Therefore, even though Mrs. Ou couldn’t quite follow her dear grandson’s thinking, she didn’t overthink it and patiently asked, "Why is Shiwu asking this?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Shiwu didn’t answer Mrs. Ou’s question, instead, he raised his small head and said, "Grandma, Shiwu wants to know."
Besides being smart, young Huo Shiwu also inherited the best features of his parents’ appearances. With a puzzled yet obedient look, he gazed at Mrs. Ou.
Mrs. Ou felt her heart lting and said, "Your grandma didn’t stop working, I used to work too. It’s just that now I’m older, so I’ve retired."
"However, because your grandma contributed to the country, I still receive retirent paycheck every month."
"As for your Grandma Hua, she’s the nanny at your grandma’s house, helping your grandma take care of you, so she has money too."
The words from Mrs. Ou left Huo Shiwu sowhat puzzled.
His second uncle makes money by doing business, grandma makes money by working—though she doesn’t work anymore—and Grandma Hua makes money by being a nanny.
Huo Shiwu thought seriously for a mont.
As a child, he can’t do business.
And as a child, he seems unable to work either.
Regarding the nanny...
Young Huo Shiwu thought for a bit and asked grandma, "Grandma, what does a nanny do?"
"A nanny helps others with housework, takes care of kids, and things like that," Mrs. Ou explained gently with patience to her dear grandson, "Just like your Grandma Hua, helping grandma do things and taking care of you."
Housework?
Young Huo Shiwu thought his small arms and legs probably couldn’t handle that.
