"That's fine, but we should still participate in children's activities if we can. Our country takes children's education very seriously."
"Okay, no problem."
A week later, Ned's mother introduced them to a housekeeping company they were very familiar with, and sent a Filipino maid named Emeng.
Ying Han couldn't tell whether someone was good-looking or not. She thought everyone over there was fat and shiny black.
But she speaks Chinese and English very well.
I stayed at home for another day and got things done quite efficiently.
She is good at frying steak and making salads, and is also good at preparing lunch boxes for children. Of course, she doesn’t know much about Chinese cuisine.
Ying Han taught E Meng a very easy dish to cook at home today: stir-fried shredded potatoes.
In the future, children can also bring rice and shredded potatoes.
They felt a lot more relaxed after Emeng came to their house.
No need to pick up the children in the afternoon when they are absent from school.
After two weeks at their home, Ai Meng can speak their native dialect, eat, and go home. Bai Yu and An An can also pronounce the words.
Winter came in a blink of an eye, but the winter here is not very cold.
There was a fireplace in the house, and they were now lighting it again.
One day, Ned's father asked Deng Chen to go together to get firewood.
Deng Chen wanted to refuse because his family was in no shortage of firewood, but he still went with him to see where he could buy firewood.
It's almost holiday time here, but it's not very long. But we can take a two or three day break every now and then.
So the pace of life here is very slow.
Ying Han is about to have her Christmas holiday in the next two days. Deng Chen took his holiday two days earlier than her and took the children to play nearby during these two days.
I followed the local customs and bought a Christmas tree.
The one picked directly from the ground is not very big.
Bought a lot of decorations.
When Ying Han was on vacation, Deng Chen and the children gave her a surprise.
Took her to the largest farmers' market in the city.
"What are we doing here?"
Deng Chen was mysterious and took him to a small, inconspicuous warehouse. He said, "We've rented this warehouse out."
Ying Han's eyes flashed with surprise as he looked at the people around the fruit wholesale stalls.
Suddenly realizing something, he looked at Deng Chen and asked, "Do you want to wholesale fruits here?"
Deng Chen smiled and nodded. "Well, the rent here is not expensive, 1,400 yuan a month. I can make back the rent by selling a cart of fruit."
"But we don't have that much time."
"We don't need much time, just come every Sunday."
Ying Han didn't understand. They were not short of money, so why did they waste their rest days doing this?
When they returned, Deng Chen quietly told her, "I am doing this to set an example for my child and to give him a belief that if he doesn't work hard, he will never get any reward.
Now is the time when children are forming habits. We cannot let them think that life should be like this, going to school and then eating, drinking and having fun.
I built this warehouse to show them that their parents are also working hard to earn money. Every expense in our lives is earned through hard work.”
Ying Han had never thought about this question before, but after hearing what Deng Chen said, he felt it made sense.
"Deng Chen, you're really thoughtful. I've never thought about how to let my child learn from me. You're doing the right thing, and I support you. Let's run the shop together."
Deng Chen smiled and nodded. "I've already thought about it. We'll just sell a few delicious fruits. We don't need too many. We'll call it Chinese Space Fruits. What do you think?"
"Okay, that's a good name."
The couple discussed it, and then Deng Chen went to the relevant department to apply for a business license and other things.
The door head also needs to be customized.
On Christmas Eve, Emeng reminded them to prepare some candy.
Because at night, children from the neighborhood would come wearing strange costumes and carrying small baskets to ask for candy.
"Oh, Emeng, thank you for reminding me. I have prepared the candies, but I haven't prepared the clothes for the child yet."
Before Ying Han came here, she specially prepared a few bags of candy and put them in the space. She also bought a lot of snacks from Brother Zhou's family that the two children liked and put them in the space.
After Ai Meng reminded them, Ying Han quickly took the children to a nearby shopping mall and picked out two sets of clothes as quickly as possible.
A Snow White dress and a little pumpkin dress.
After returning, they quickly changed into their clothes. Ying Han also drew Christmas costumes for the two children, trying to make them have as much fun as possible.
Ying Han found a pack while shopping in the mall this time.
Looking at the time now, Ying Han still has time.
He turned around and looked at Emeng who was busy in the kitchen and said, "Emeng, let me teach you how to make candy."
"Oh my God, Hanhan, you can make candy?"
Ying Han smiled and shrugged, and asked E Meng to take out the butter, as well as the tough biscuits, 50 grams of milk powder, 5 dried cranberries, and various nuts, after preparing these ingredients.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Then add the sugar and melt it on low heat. Turn off the heat when it melts as shown in the picture. Add milk powder and stir evenly. Crush the biscuits and mix the nuts into the pot and stir. After stirring, put on gloves and break the biscuit ball from the middle to both sides. Repeat this process several times to allow the sugar threads to fill all the gaps. Then put it into the mold and cut it into rectangular blocks. After cooling, wrap it with the purchased candy paper.
After Ying Han finished all this, he smiled and let Ai Meng try it.
"Oh my God, Hanhan, this candy is really great. It's the most delicious candy I've ever eaten." Emeng couldn't wait to eat a piece of the candy before it cooled down. She thought it tasted so good.
"Is it really delicious? Then we can make more and send it to the neighbors nearby and our landlord so that they can all try it."
Emeng nodded, "Okay, let me do it this time."
Ying Han was instructing Ai Meng from the side, saying that the most important thing in doing this is the heat, which must be a little lower.
Fortunately, Aimeng is a good cook and has good control over the heat.
This time it was also a success, and they made four pots in total.
Half an hour later, when the candies had cooled down, they were wrapped in beautiful candy wrappers.
Ying Han used another gift bag for candy and filled a small bag for each family.
Forget it today, I plan to deliver a pack to each of my neighbors tomorrow.
Ai Meng's Chinese cooking skills have now mastered Ying Han's essence. He makes spicy and sour potato shreds and scrambled eggs with tomatoes quite well.
I can now make stewed pork ribs and braised chicken.
There is a braised fish, the fish needs to be fried in oil first.
Emeng still doesn't dare to fry anything in hot oil.
After dinner in the evening, Ned took Bai Yu, An An and their friends from nearby to go door to door to ask for candy.
