"how's it going?"

"Uncle Li, how is my mother?"

Is it okay?

How's Tangtang?

"Little sister, why do you look so listless?"

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Chi Tang slowly lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), placed her little hand in her mother's hand, and fell asleep peacefully.

This time it wasn't a backlash.

Because this is her own genuine skill.

It's just that they're too tired and need to concentrate. Where does a little kid get such a high level of attention?

It's quite impressive that she only fainted now.

"...It's done. From now on, you'll have acupuncture every three days. After a month, you'll be 80% recovered. The rest depends on your own efforts to avoid getting angry, overworking, and resting and recuperating properly."

Dr. Li was also tired, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Approaching forty, he learned new knowledge!

It was also this time that made him extremely grateful to Huo Chenyi for letting him come to the Chi family!

"Thank you very much."

Thank you so much.

"Don't thank me, I should thank Tangtang, she's my master!" Doctor Li said cheerfully.

Old Man Chi said repeatedly, "How can this be?"

Dr. Li: "I was worried that Tangtang wouldn't accept me as her apprentice."

this……

"I'm going to rest now. Call me if you need anything."

"Please take your time."

After visiting Aunt Chi, Old Man Chi instructed, "Dashan, go outside and find a woman to wash our clothes and cook for us every day. Find out the price, and make sure she is hardworking, has few chores, and is of good character."

Chi Dashan was stunned for a moment.

Hiring someone?

Do they have the means?

"Hurry up! Your wife is about to give birth, your mother is sick, and there's no woman at home. Of course you need to hire someone! Take care of your mother and wife's health first; that's the most important thing!"

How could Old Man Chi not feel bad about spending the money?

No matter how much I care about money, nothing is more important than my wife!

"……good."

Chi Dashan was quick on his feet and efficient in his work; the matter was completed in less than an hour.

We contacted the same human brokers we used before; they also handle these kinds of intermediary matters.

The woman was a widow from a village under Pinghe Town. Her husband's surname was Tian. She had two children, but only two acres of poor land, so life was very difficult for her.

Ms. Tian is only in her early thirties this year, and her two children are both in their early teens and can take care of themselves. So, Ms. Tian has started looking for work to do in the past two years.

Helping people wash clothes, etc.

But where can you find a job as stable as doing laundry?

Chi Dashan has also been seen. He is an honest and efficient person. He doesn't talk much and always keeps his head down, but he is very efficient at his work.

The Korean company representative also said that he is a helpful person who doesn't gossip and is a decent cook.

"My cooking skills are naturally not as good as Mother's and Xingxing's, but they're not bad either."

Chi Dashan also tried it.

The price has been agreed upon.

Thirty coins a month, for a six-month contract.

The next day, Madam Tian arrived early in the morning. After entering the inner courtyard, she didn't say a word and started cooking in silence.

Since Chi Dashan had already told her about the family's situation yesterday, Tian Niangzi cooked rice porridge, baked a stack of small shortbreads, stir-fried an egg and an eggplant, and also prepared a bowl of vegetables with dipping sauce.

After cooking, while the Chi family ate, she quickly cleaned the entire yard.

After the Chi family finished eating, she quickly cleaned up and then started washing clothes.

The two-courtyard house of Fenghua Hall was quickly cleaned up, and Sister-in-law Chi's medicine for preventing miscarriage was prepared on time and sent over when it was cool enough to drink.

Snacks for the little ones were prepared in advance so they could take them to school and avoid getting hungry.

When doing laundry, I make sure to wash adult and children's clothes separately.

This made Chi Tang particularly satisfied.

Let alone outsiders, even her mother wouldn't separate the laundry.

Cooking isn't always the same; although it's all home-style cooking, I sometimes change up the staple foods and dishes.

For example, when steaming egg custard, she would make sure to steam two portions: one soft and tender for the children, and one firmer for the adults.

After three days, the Chi family all grew to like this Tian Niangzi.

The contract has been officially signed.

Because he was extremely satisfied with Tian Niangzi and knew that her family was in financial difficulty, he gave her half a month's wages in advance.

Holding the money, Madam Tian was overjoyed and kept thanking them.

The next day, they brought a large basket of fresh black nightshade.

"...We didn't have anything of note at home, so I had Ya Ya get up early this morning to pick a lot of black nightshade berries so everyone could have a sweet treat."

Black nightshade is a plant that grows by the roadside, and its fruit is a small, dark purple sphere.

The children in the village didn't wash them; they just picked them and put them directly in their mouths to eat.

Pick a whole handful, put them all in your mouth and bite into them. The feeling of your mouth being filled with juice is something that little kids absolutely adore.

Aunt Chi was much more energetic now. Watching the children happily scrambling for the food, she smiled and said, "The black nightshade is probably all picked and eaten by the children now. You must have been busy for a long time to pick so many."

Where do the children in the village get snacks?

Sparrows in the trees, bird eggs, crayfish in the fields, snails on the riverbank, and wild fruits like black nightshade by the roadside...

Those are the most delicious.

It's currently the peak season for black nightshade growth, and the children have already picked all the black nightshade along the roadside.

It must have taken a lot of effort to pick so many.

The Chi family was very grateful.

That same day, he gave some snacks to Tian Niangzi to take back for the two children to try.
