Chapter 169 Hate
However, Aunt Lan had no complaints about taking care of Xiao Ranran, doing housework and cooking. It's the same for every family. They all go through hard times. Besides, Xiao Ranran is really well-behaved when Ye Qian is not around. She won't cry or make a fuss easily, so it's still easy to take care of her.
I have worked as a nanny for several families before. The children I took care of before were crying and throwing tantrums. Compared with Xiao Ranran, Xiao Ranran was simply a little angel. I didn't feel tired at all.
However, Ye Qian thought so because of the influence of her friends in later generations. In her later life, Ye Qian had a very good friend who stayed at home to take care of her children full-time after she got married. Her parents-in-law were from the countryside, and she and her husband worked hard in a foreign land. So after the child was born, there was no one to help her take care of him. She took care of the child, washed clothes, cooked, and cleaned at home every day. These tasks sounded simple, but she almost collapsed after doing them all day.
There were even a few times when she spoke to her in tears. Although Ye Qian did not feel the same way, she could see from her appearance how hard it was for her as a mother, so she naturally had no doubts. She used to look lively and energetic every day, but now, not only did she look more haggard than before, but her energy and spirit had been drained away. Although her eyes were full of happiness when she mentioned her baby, she was full of complaints when she mentioned her husband. But under such circumstances, she still wanted to have a second child, so Ye Qian did not sympathize with her at all.
Although these are a bit off topic, I can feel Aunt Lan's hard work. Besides, Aunt Lan is not only the nanny hired by Gu Jinyan, but also the person who watched Gu Jinyan grow up. Naturally, the meaning is different.
Ye Qian prepared the ingredients for lunch and started roasting them by the stove. Because it rained yesterday, there were some icicles hanging from the roof this morning. In her previous life, Ye Qian loved to tear these icicles off and eat them, and now she was doing the same here. Gu Jinyan saw it and stopped her: "These icicles are made of water dripping from the roof. The house is so dirty, and it hasn't been washed. Do you think they are edible?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Qian felt a chill, as if there was a rhythm of various bacteria in her stomach. She quickly threw away the ice cone in her hand and never ate it again.
After they had lunch, Ye Qian started to make mung bean soup. Gu Jinyan had tried it last year and it tasted really good when it was icy cold, so he and Ye Qian started to get busy together.
Two pots were burning at the same time, and it took 6 pots in the afternoon to boil a large bucket of mung bean soup. The two did not rush to put it into the space. They directly found a board to cover it and put it outside the hair dryer, and then started to cook dinner. After they finished dinner, when Ye Qian went out to check, the mung bean soup had cooled down, but the two were not in a hurry. They could wait for Aunt Lan to go back to the opposite side before putting it into the space city.
In the afternoon, Aunt Lan did ask the two of them why they made so much mung bean soup. Gu Jinyan said directly: "Someone will come to get it later." Aunt Lan just asked and didn't say anything else.
Ye Qian looked at it from time to time until the two finished washing up and the mung bean soup outside had some small ice chips. Ye Qian then put the bucket of mung bean soup into the space and said contentedly: "No need to worry about summer."
Ye Qian went upstairs and lay down. Before falling asleep, she remembered that there were still many red beans in her space, and there seemed to be a few molds for making popsicles that she had used before. She wondered if she could make a lot and save them. So she discussed it with Gu Jinyan. After hearing what Ye Qian said, Gu Jinyan thought it was a good idea and agreed. Anyway, she was free at home anyway.
The next afternoon, I made red bean soup. However, red beans are a little difficult to cook, so I only made a small bucket in the afternoon. I followed the same process as yesterday. I waited for Aunt Lan to go back across the street in the evening and then put it into the space. Aunt Lan came early in the morning and found that the bucket of mung bean soup was missing. It turned out that someone took it away after she left in the evening, so she didn't ask any more questions.
On the third day, she made popsicles, some with milk, some with fruit, some with mung beans, and some with red beans. However, she made these without Aunt Lan's knowledge. These were different from the ones she made on the previous two days, so it was not convenient for Aunt Lan to see them. She asked Gu Jinyan to play dumb with her while she cut and prepared them upstairs. Time passed very quickly every day, and naturally, Ye Qian would take time out from time to time to make Xiao Ranran cry, and then pretend to be serious and continue working.
Gu Jinyan understood, but he didn't say anything about Ye Qian. He then turned to Aunt Lan and said, "When Ye Qian is at home and Xiao Ranran cries, you don't have to go over to comfort her. Let Ye Qian do it herself. She won't be like this after a few times of comforting her."
When Aunt Lan heard what Gu Jinyan said, she smiled and agreed directly: "Okay." Then she walked away with a smile.
Ye Qian was busy making a magic tool to relieve the summer heat every day, while teasing Xiao Ranran, and now she also had to coax Xiao Ranran. Every day was extremely hard and she felt exhausted.
Now I count the days left before I can go back to work on my fingers every day. So I didn't tease Xiaoran for the last two days and I had a pretty good time. It was just that my ears had some tinnitus from Xiaoranran's crying these two days, but otherwise I was fine.
Ye Qian looked at Gu Jinyan with some resentment these past two days. Gu Jinyan naturally understood, but he just ignored Ye Qian. He felt that Ye Qian had to learn a lesson herself so that she would remember it.
That’s true, Ye Qian has a very good memory.
After Ye Qian stopped teasing Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's love for this coaxing mother increased sharply. She wished she could stick to her all the time and would get anxious if she couldn't see her for a moment.
Facing such affection, Ye Qian only wanted to say narcissistically: "Look, it's only been a few days and you're already clinging to me like crazy. Sigh, being too charming can be a real headache."
Gu Jinyan gave Ye Qian a speechless look: "Isn't it normal for children to stick to their mothers? Does she want the child to hate her?"
"Bah, nonsense, how could my son hate me? I am his biological mother. He never hated me when I teased him like that before, and he won't hate me again in the future." Ye Qian said excitedly. Seeing that Gu Jinyan was about to speak again, she immediately stopped him and said, "Stop talking. I don't want to hear it. Go to sleep." After Ye Qian finished speaking, she ignored Gu Jinyan.
Ye Qian had already fallen asleep, while Lu Li and Ji Hongxia started making noise again.
Ji's father and mother were waiting for their daughter and son-in-law to pay New Year's greetings at home, so they didn't go out for fear of missing them. However, after waiting for several days, they didn't see their daughter and son-in-law come home. Ji's father was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything since he didn't see them.
Ji Hongxia also told Lu Li at home that she wanted to go back to pay New Year's greetings. However, because Lu Li had beaten Ji Hongxia and her face was a little swollen, she was worried that Ji's father and mother would see her and come after her, so she didn't want to go. After a few days, Lu's mother also felt that it was not right and asked someone to go to Ji's house to pay New Year's greetings quickly.
