Chapter 309 - 309: The Decision
Chu Heng was indeed in a good mood. Ah Yu agreed with him, which meant that she had tacitly agreed to their relationship as husband and wife. This was more worth being happy about than anything else.
Chu Heng twisted the handkerchief a few times, but his hand did not get red from the heat.
Ye Muyu was a little envious. Having thick skin was better as it reduced the chances of being scalded.
After washing her face and applying some cream, Ye Muyu said, “Go and rest. I’ll go wash up first. By the way, do you want a glass of milk later?”
“You study every day. Drinking milk is good for your health.”
“Then let’s try it.” Chu Heng had already prepared himself for another problem in the provincial examination and had no choice but to join the army. However, when he thought about how he would have to be separated from his family for at least three years when joining the army, he made the decision to break the trajectory of his previous life.
This time, he had to successfully participate in the exam.
Ye Muyu did not know what Chu Heng was thinking. She saw Chu Heng reading in the study room, so she did not disturb him.
She quickly washed up and woke the two children up.
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo got out of bed as well.
Zhang Cong had already brought in some hot water for Chu Jin to wash his face.
It was the same for Chu Ziluo’s side. Although Nenya was young, she was also agile.
The two children did not need her, so Ye Muyu went straight into the kitchen and took the medicine and clean jars from the small stove.
After boiling the medicine, she washed the jar and poured the entire bowl of milk into it.
There was a big fire burning on the small stove. She watched as the milk in the jar boiled and took the jar down with a wet rag.
After the milk had boiled, she placed it on the small stove and heated it again.
After repeating this four times, the milk was ready.
Madam Hu had just finished boiling the porridge and scooped it up.
“It’s still the same, but it’s much fresher than before,” Madam Hu said.
Ye Muyu nodded. This was the benefit of raising cows at home. Fresh milk could be drunk at any time. If they bought it from the county, the taste would be worse after a period of time.
Ye Mu divided the milk into four portions.
There was still quite a bit left, so he gave it to Madam Hu.
“Madam, how can this servant accept it? This is too precious.” A cow would cost 30 to 40 taels of silver. In an ordinary village family, several generations of people might not be willing to buy one. After all, 30 to 40 taels of silver could build two houses with seven to eight rooms.
Madam Hu waved her hand and refused.
Ye Muyu pushed it to her. “I’m giving it to you, so just take it. If the two children are stronger, they can help me in the future.”
. Thank you, Madam.” Madam Hu was touched and realized how good her life in the Chu family was. She was more meticulous in her work and did not want to go to other people’s houses anymore.
Previously, she had worked for three main families. Even if it were any merchant in the county, they would not be so generous to their servants. Moreover, they could often eat fresh food when they followed Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu was about to bring the milk to the dining table in the hall.
When she turned around, she saw that Nenya had come in at some point.
Madam Hu had already instructed her to bring out the four bowls of milk.
Ye Muyu thought that it was her fortune to meet such thoughtful and considerate servants.
After Madam Hu washed the pot clean, Ye Muyu began to boil the soup base.
After the soup base was boiled, she added the vegetables. Once it was done, she could scoop it up.
“Lil’ Jin, go call your father to eat.” Ye Muyu brought the last bowl of porridge to the table. After Madam Hu put down the big bowl of Oden, she left.
“Dad, it’s time to eat!” Chu Jin quickly ran out of the main room and shouted at the study room beside him..
