The happy little days of the Ye family

After everyone stopped making trouble, Wang Chunyu expressed his concerns to Ye Donglin one by one:

"I know you want to give Xiaoqi a younger brother or sister, and I don't object to it, but now that Xiaoqi has grown up, it's not like when Xiaoqi was young, he could just put him in a crib and sleep by himself."

"Thanks to my mother and grandma helping to look after him during the day, I have time to do grocery shopping. If there was another little one, I would be really busy."

Ye Donglin was silent at this time. It was true that he hadn't thought it through. In the past, the little guy couldn't walk. He would sleep after eating and eat after sleeping. It was still very easy to take care of.

Now that the child can walk, he can't take any time off. He gets tired after watching for a while.

Moreover, now the grocery store needs more pastries, roast ducks and chickens. Xiaoyu is really too busy to handle them all by himself, but he didn’t think carefully.

Ye Donglin thought for a while and then suggested:

"Mom said that when Qingqing gives birth to a child, the Tang family will ask an aunt to help her with laundry and cooking, and she will also help take care of the child. I will also invite an aunt to come back and help you."

Wang Chunyu shook his head, "This won't work. We have to make food at home. We stay at home all day long. What if the recipe is leaked out?"

"Tang's family is small and there is no one to help take care of the children. It's okay to ask an aunt to help. If our family asks someone to help, there will definitely be a lot of gossip in the village. How do you want the people in the village to look at my mother and grandma?"

"Xiao Yu, what you said makes sense, let me think about it again."

The grocery store can now sell 2 roast chickens and 3 roast ducks every day. Together with Ye's father's small stall, Ye Mu and Wang Chunyu need to cook 3 roast ducks and 6 roast chickens every day.

Every morning, the family is busy killing chickens and ducks.

In addition, I make 6 kinds of pastries every day. Just preparing the ingredients and steaming the pastries takes a lot of time.

Ye Donglin thought of two little ideas, took Wang Chunyu's little hand and said excitedly:

"Otherwise, we can find a family to help us kill chickens and ducks, so that you only need to put the ducks and chickens directly into the stove to roast every morning, and other people in the family can also relax."

Wang Chunyu's eyes were bright, "Mr., you are still smart."

Killing chickens and ducks every morning is really a lot of work. It would really be a lot easier if I taught this job to someone else.

Ye Donglin continued with a smile:

"Also, there are 6 kinds of pastries sold in the shop now. We can only make three kinds every day and take turns to make them, so that it will be easier for you to prepare things."

Wang Chunyu's eyes lit up, "Both of these ideas are good, I just listen to you."

After the matter was resolved, Wang Chunyu stood up and kissed Ye Donglin on the cheek as a reward. When he left, he was hugged by Ye Donglin.

"This reward is not enough. I want a little girl..."

"Be gentle, don't wake Xiao Qi up."

The little guy on the side was grinning, as if he had had a sweet dream.

The next day they both woke up late, but Xiao Qi woke up first.

The little guy had been awake for a long time. Sometimes he was playing with his little fingers and sometimes his little feet. When he got tired of playing, no one paid attention to him, and he started crying at the top of his voice.

Hearing the child cry, Wang Chunyu woke up immediately, got up quickly, picked up the little guy and coaxed him.

Wang Chunyu touched the little guy's butt and saw that the child didn't poop or pee, so he was probably hungry.

Xiao Qi has long started eating softer rice, and can also eat other softer foods. Wang Chunyu is also planning to stop breastfeeding the little one recently.

Seeing the little guy bulging in front of her chest, eager to feed, she could only force Xiao Qi into Ye Donglin's arms.

The two quickly packed themselves up and took Xiao Qi to have breakfast.

Ye Donglin thoughtfully served porridge and peeled eggs for the two of them. Wang Chunyu skillfully fed Xiaoqi porridge while eating breakfast by himself.

"Ah, ah!"

The little guy was probably very hungry, so he couldn't wait to eat it and opened his mouth wide.

Seeing that everyone was there, Ye Donglin said by the way that he was looking for someone to help.

Regarding this matter, Father Ye very much agreed.

In addition to the grocery store, his small stall also sells 4 roast chickens every day. It is really hard work to get up early every morning to kill chickens and ducks.

Mrs. Ye was even more proactive and took the initiative to take over the task of finding help.

After breakfast, Mrs. Ye went to find Aunt Wang in the village. Aunt Wang's husband's family name was Li, and they gave birth to three sons and a daughter.

Aunt Wang's daughter had been married a long time ago, and the three children in the family had their own families and gave birth to a lot of grandchildren.

The Li family has a lot of people but little land. Although they bought some wasteland for land reclamation in the past few years, the harvest from the wasteland was not good.

In addition, in the past few years, the children in the family have got married one after another, and a lot of money has been borrowed. Everyone in the Li family is so hungry that their faces are yellow and skinny. Aunt Wang is very satisfied with the work of the Ye family.

Mrs. Ye made an agreement with Aunt Wang to help kill 3 ducks and 6 chickens every day.

In the evening, I would come to Ye's house to take the chickens and ducks back, and send back the slaughtered and cleaned chickens and ducks before breakfast the next day.

Old Mrs. Ye was really busy considering that Wang Chunyu had to take care of her children and was busy making all kinds of food.

I also discussed with Aunt Wang that when I sent the duck over, I would take the diapers and dirty clothes that Xiao Qi had changed back home to wash, and I would bring them back when I came over in the evening.

Killing chickens and ducks every day, plus washing Xiaoqi's clothes and diapers, the two families agreed on a daily salary of 30 cents.

As for the wages, Mrs. Ye directly decided that the father-in-law would pay half, and Ye Donglin and his wife would pay the remaining half.

Wang Chunyu was very grateful for Mrs. Ye's thoughtfulness.

Ye Donglin was worried that the women near Juren Lane had no place to buy vegetables, so he opened his business on the fourth day of the new year.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone has some money on hand, and pastries, roast duck, and roast chicken are definitely indispensable.

In the afternoon, Wang Chunyu and Ye Donglin were in the kitchen, preparing the pastries to be sold tomorrow.

Ye Donglin originally planned to make only three kinds of pastries, but Wang Chunyu thought that children should have pocket money during the New Year, and the pastries should be quite popular.

And now that there are people helping me, I plan to make all 6 kinds of pastries as before.

The two were busy in the kitchen, and soon a sweet smell wafted out of the Ye family's yard.

Ye Donglin's grocery store made a lot of money a few years ago, and now the two of them are very motivated.

Compared to Ye Donglin, Ye's father is a bit more lazy. He plans to rest at home for a few more days and then go to North Street to set up a stall after the Lantern Festival.

Then Mr. Ye caught him and gave him a lecture, and finally had to change it to go out to do business with Ye Donglin on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

As soon as Ye Donglin and Wang Chunyu finished making the pastries, Aunt Wang happily came to the door with her eldest son. The two took away 3 ducks and 6 chickens for tomorrow.

The chickens and ducks at home were taken away by the mother and son. The rest of the Ye family breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer have to get up early in the morning to kill chickens and ducks.
