Daming is a boy who is going to leave primary school and start middle school next year. There are six people in his family, including his grandparents, his parents and his little sister. Daming’s little sister is only 6 months old and very lovely. His grandparents didn’t live with them at first. But as grandparents grow older, they need more care. So Daming’s parents asked them to move in last month. After work, Daming’s parents are very busy looking after the whole family.

Daming hadn’t been asked to help with housework before his baby sister was born. But things have changed since the new family member joined. Daming’s mother asked him to sweep the floor, make the bed, do some cleaning and some other jobs, which made the boy feel very bad.

One day, Daming’s mother found a mote on the desk:

Washing my socks ¥ 1

Sweeping the floor ¥ 2

Making the bed ¥ 3

Doing the cleaning ¥ 5

Total: Mum should pay me ¥ 11

Mum smiled after reading this note, and wrote an answer immediately.

When Daming came back from school, he found a note lying on his bed. It said:

Preparing 3 meals every day ¥10

Washing clothes for Daming ¥8

Buying toys for Daming ¥20
