In just two or three days, Jiang Mengxue was able to get out of bed and walk. Although the wound was slightly painful, it was still tolerable.
It was also a torture to take care of the children during this period when I just returned home, so I decided to find someone to help as soon as possible.
Luan Huiying also told Lu Zhengming about the situation at home, and the family must find someone to come and help.
Even if the adults at home can handle it at night, what should we do with the diapers and clothes that the children have changed out of when we cook at home during the day?
It’s not so difficult to take care of the kids at night, but I can’t do so many things during the day. I’m not Superman.
Lu Zhengming lives next door and he can see what the house looks like.
Not to mention his relationship with Gu Qingbei, even as a neighbor and as a military leader he has to take care of it.
I went back to discuss this matter with the political commissar above me.
Taking the Gu family's actual situation into consideration, their superiors allowed them to pay for a helper to clean the house and take care of the children during the day.
It can also be considered as helping the army solve the employment problems of family members.
Later, through Lu Zhengming's introduction, their family invited Fang Yinhua, who was the battalion commander of a regiment.
They also have three children in their family. The youngest one is just over two years old and is only slightly older than Mobao.
The oldest boy, Tiezhu, is seven years old, and the second daughter, Xiaomei, is five years old. They are both old enough to take care of themselves and can also help take care of their younger brother.
Xiaobao's nickname is Tiedan. He is about the same age as Mobao, so he likes to play with Mobao.
Another reason may be that Mobao has a treasure bag, and he can take out delicious food whenever he is happy.
Fang Yinhua is a person with a very strong character. She works efficiently and does whatever she is asked to do without ever complaining.
This morning, I arrived at Gu's house and started working. Seeing that there was no movement in the house, I went into the kitchen and started cooking.
The food is kept in the kitchen, and she is told clearly how much to prepare every day.
I made brown rice porridge in the morning, but I also made millet porridge and four boiled eggs for Jiang Mengxue and Mo Bao.
Although I know that the Gu family is well-off, I still marvel in my heart that they are willing to spend so much money on it.
Fang Yinhua's family has to send some money back home to her parents-in-law every month. The battalion commander's allowance is also quite a lot, but she still can't bear to spend it. She wants to save it up because her children will need money in the coming years.
When the rice in the pot was almost ready, I heard someone getting up in the house.
I couldn’t sleep well the night before because of the noise made by the little ones. I finally managed to get two hours of sleep and found that it was already dawn.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Li Cuiying picked up the diapers that had been changed from the two rooms and put them in one basin, and the clothes in another basin, and took them all to the yard to wash.
Domestic water supply is not abundant, so we have to save water every day.
Jiang Mengxue had to wait until night when everyone was asleep before filling the tank with water.
Every penny saved is a penny earned.
As soon as Li Cuiying opened the door, she saw Tiedan playing in the yard with his butt sticking up, and Yinhuazi cooking in the kitchen.
"Yinhua, why are you here so early again? It's okay for you to come later at this time. You have several children at home."
Yinhua smiled innocently: "There's not much to do at home, and the two children can take care of themselves."
She herself has little education, so naturally she never thought about getting a job.
This time, Luan Huiying went to her house and asked her if she was willing to come to her house to help with the housework, and she could pay her 20 yuan a month.
As for washing clothes, cooking, and daily cleaning of the house.
Of course she would be willing to do something she had to do at home all day long, but she could get paid 20 yuan at someone else's house.
The work was not much and not too heavy. Sometimes when the Gu family had something delicious, they would ask her to take it back for the children to try. When Mobao played with Tiedan, he would often give Tiedan delicious food.
In comparison, Fang Yinhua felt that she did too little work, so she came early in the morning so that she could do more work and take care of the child when she was free.
Jiang Mengxue drank millet porridge and ate a few eggs. She really couldn't eat any more. She had never eaten as many eggs in her entire life as she had during the two times of confinement.
Tiedan squatted on the side and played. His saliva was almost flowing when he smelled the smell, and his eyes were staring at the egg with longing.
After Mo Bao finished his meal, he ran into the house to see his sister.
Tiedan only has older brothers and sisters but no younger sister, so Mobao is very proud of himself and often shows off in front of Tiedan.
Jiang Mengxue waved and asked Tiedan to come over.
Put the peeled egg in his hand.
"Eat it."
Tiedan licked his lips and looked at Jiang Mengxue without daring to take it.
When he was at home, his mother often told him not to accept food given by others, especially those from the Gu family.
The Gu family has already given him enough and can even take him to work. He can't take advantage of them anymore.
Jiang Mengxue looked at Tiedan's eager eyes, but she didn't want to eat it or not.
Put the egg directly into his hand: "Eat it, Auntie is full, can you help Auntie?"
Tiedan was a little at a loss, but still couldn't resist the aroma of the eggs in his hand.
The little guy finished an egg in just a few bites.
Jiang Mengxue was worried that he would choke, so she quickly handed her bowl to his mouth. The millet porridge in it was just thin enough to smooth his throat.
Just after finishing the last egg, the little guys in the room started again, and their roar scared Jiang Mengxue.
He sighed and went back to the house to serve the young masters.
It goes without saying that Nao Nao is the one who takes the lead. He is always the most active. As long as he wakes up, I have to be the first to satisfy him, whether it is drinking milk or changing the feeding cloth.
If he sees his older sibling or younger brother standing in front of him, it will definitely make you realize what a disaster is.
Luan Huiying and the others had finished eating long ago and went back to the room to change their diapers and feed them.
Seeing Jiang Mengxue coming, Gu Zhenjiang took Manman, whose diaper had already been changed, out to prepare milk powder for him.
When I was pregnant, we had more goat milk than we could drink up at home. As a result, when the child was born and needed goat milk, Da Niu had no milk left. The calf had grown up and was also a ewe, but it was not yet of reproductive age.
The pregnancy period of a ewe is generally about 140 to 150 days, which is several months.
So even if the girl is pregnant now, it’s too late. If possible, it would be more cost-effective to buy one or two ewes that are producing milk.
Otherwise, if they all eat milk powder, the consumption will be too much. Jiang Mengxue can't go out and can't find a chance to take it out. Gu Qingbei is not coming back for a long time, so she really has to consider buying a sheep.
That day, Luan Huiying came back from the health center. She looked a little strange and had a piece of paper in her hand.
Jiang Mengxue thought the hospital was urging her to go back, and said, "Mom, is the hospital urging you to go back to work?"
Then he said, "It's enough for me to have Yinhua's help here. Xiao Xie will also come over to help with some housework during the day. If you are busy, you can go back first."
Xie Yu'an stayed to be able to handle things at home, so he helped a lot during this period.
When I have nothing to do at home, I will also take on the task of bringing calligraphy. The two are now familiar with each other.
