The yellow corn chunks are rolling in the rich bone soup, tumbling lively.
Aunt Rong put the lid on the pot.
At noon, Aunt Rong served out a bowl of bone soup, just like last night's midnight snack. She added white rice porridge to make a fragrant bone soup porridge and served it to Ye Lulu.
Ye Lulu was very satisfied with her drink, and her body was warm from the inside out. She continued to rest in bed all day long, taking care of her three babies.
When it was getting dark in the afternoon, the housekeeper and several men who had gone to the city came back. Entering the yard, Brother Guan put down the rice he was carrying and said, "I bought two more kilograms of white rice and ten kilograms of black flour today."
Dad Guan also went to do odd jobs and earned more copper coins than yesterday. But in fact, there is still not much left, because there are too many people in the house, and the food is basically bought every day. All the money earned today is spent on food.
Pure white rice costs nine copper coins per pound, which is very expensive. It was bought for Ye Lulun and the baby. Black noodles are the worst noodles. They cost four copper coins per pound. The housekeepers and the others can only eat black noodles on weekdays. Today they bought ten pounds of noodles and Mrs. Rong put them in the kitchen.
Of course, the taste of black noodles is very bad, and farmers find it too rough to choke, and tasteless. However, most people in the village only eat black noodles every day.
To buy these rice noodles, all the money I earned today was spent, and a few copper coins were added, so there was no money left at all.
This is the situation of poor housekeepers.
"Milk!"
"Milk, we're back!"
"Grandma~"
A bunch of lively carrot heads ran into the house from behind, rushed to Mrs. Rong and started shouting "milk" one by one. The sound was loud and noisy, and the yard instantly became lively.
I saw a group of children, both tall and short, of different sizes, jumping around Aunt Rong. Some have a little carrot head when they are only three or four years old, and the oldest is seven or eight years old, and their body bones are already very strong.
Almost all of them are boys... one is stronger than the other, their hair is shaved short, and they barely have a small prick on the top of their head. The face is white and tender, the head is like a tiger's head, and the eyes are dark and lively.
These are the little kids of this generation who are housekeepers.
The day before yesterday was to attend Guan Chibei's funeral, and it happened to be that Ye Lulu was about to give birth. The house was really busy, so the housekeeper sent all the children to Guan Sanjie's house in the city to stay for two days.
The family is relaxed today. Brother Guan and the others went to the city to do hard work, so they brought the children back. After all, Sister Guan’s family is not relaxed, and there are still so many carrots.
Therefore, it is true that there are many housekeepers, not an illusion.
There are four boys in the big house, aged eight, six, five, and one who has just turned three and has runny nose. He is super small. Brother Guan has three boys, two boys. The baby, and the only girl among the housekeeper’s grandchildren, is five years old this year.
The couple already had so many children, which was one of the reasons why Guan Chixi insisted not to get married and Aunt Rong and the others didn't push too hard.
The butler's family is so prosperous, and there are so many boys and girls, that it would be a disaster. Ye Lulun has given birth to a third baby boy, so Aunt Rong is both happy and having a headache.
"Milk, Da Mao is back! Have you prepared something delicious for Da Mao?" Brother Guan's eldest son, an eight-year-old boy who was already around Aunt Rong's waist, stood in front of Grandma and asked for food.
Aunt Rong also missed her grandchildren. She was smiling from ear to ear as she hugged a bunch of little carrot heads one by one and said, "Yes! I baked sweet potato pancakes tonight and will serve them later."
