Wan Qiqi nodded, "I must go to the restaurant; I can't break the contract. Let's stop selling the baked cakes for now! Yongliang, you may need to stay home for a while; you'll need to do the heavy work like fetching water and chopping wood."
Chen Yongliang was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't go into business, but his sister-in-law was right; the family needed him.
He nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I will definitely do my best."
Wan Qiqi then looked at Chen Yongxing and said, "For the next period of time, you should reduce going out and stay at home to comfort Chongniang and keep her emotionally stable. Of course, you also need to do housework. It would be best if you could turn over the soil in both vegetable gardens and plant all the vegetable seeds I brought back from Yuzhou!"
Most vegetables can be planted in the spring, so you can start planting them once the weather gets warmer.
Chen Yongxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Wan Qiqi then looked at Wang Zhi and sighed softly, "Mother, you'll probably have to work hard these days! It's not easy for Chongniang to take care of the children right now, so you might need to help look after Siyu. And An'an and Little Monkey..."
Wang Zhi held Wan Qiqi's hand and smiled, "It's no trouble at all. I will definitely take good care of her."
Wan Qiqi still had doubts about the little monkey and was wondering whether to send him to the academy as well.
She couldn't find a good home for the baby monkey and couldn't send it away.
Moreover, if Pingping goes to school, An'an might not be used to being alone at home, and the little monkey can keep her company.
But that would be a bit unfair to the little monkey.
At this point, Chen Yongliang raised another question, "Sister-in-law, Siyu is still young, does she eat rice porridge every day?"
Wang Zhi replied, "It's already very good to have rice porridge. You couldn't even get rice porridge back then."
She thought back to the days of poverty and felt sorry for her children, for not being able to provide them with a good living environment.
Wan Qiqi replied, "Rice porridge alone won't do; you need to drink breast milk to grow taller."
“But what about Madam’s condition…” Chen Yongxing was worried that Li Chongniang would have another attack after seeing her daughter and would try to strangle her.
Wan Qiqi can buy baby formula at the mall, but she can't use legitimate methods to give it to her child.
Actually, Li Chongniang could collect and store the milk, and feed it to the child when he/she is hungry.
However, this method was difficult to implement in ancient times.
After thinking it over, Wan Qiqi remembered that she could use freshly produced animal milk as a substitute, and quickly said, "Yongliang, tomorrow you should ask Gousheng to find out which family in the village raises sheep, the kind that have just given birth to lambs."
Chen Yongliang suddenly realized and replied, "Okay!"
