Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Seeing that Mr. Zhang was enjoying his meal, the old lady joined him and ate a few more meatballs and some vegetables.

"If the old lady doesn't feel too tired after the meal, she should sit and talk for a while. It would be even better if she could be helped to walk around the house once or twice. She shouldn't go to bed right after eating, as this will prevent indigestion."

"Okay, okay, I'll remember that."

Ruxiu then instructed Feicui to give the old lady two pieces of fruit in half an hour, and a bowl of medicine in an hour. Only then did she take her leave, and had the old woman escort her back to the small courtyard where she was resting.

"Xiuer is back. Are you hungry? Everyone is waiting for you to eat! Manager Zhang specially packed a table of food for us from Baixianglou."

"Bai Xiang Lou?"

"Have you heard of Baixianglou? It's owned by Master Zhang's family, and there's one in Qinghe Town too," Tan Xiucai explained.

What a coincidence, such a thing actually happened.

This put Ruxiu at ease. It would be easier to take care of the old lady and Mr. Zhang's food and health in the future. No wonder the shrimp she bought today seemed familiar. If she had known, she wouldn't have needed to exchange spaces.

After dinner, I asked my dad to stand up and walk around for me a couple of times. He was only relieved to see that I was indeed alright.

Tan Xiucai's professional habit kicked in again. He pulled Shi Jie and Ge'er aside and tested their reading and writing skills. Shi Jie naturally answered obediently, while Ge'er, that little rascal, recited a few passages and then pestered her grandfather to tell her the story of "Snow White." Last time, Ge'er fell asleep before the story was finished.

"Which dynasty was Snow White born to, and which king?" Tan Xiucai didn't know either, so he could only make up a story about Princess Shun'an.

"Mommy, Grandpa is so silly, he can't tell the story of Snow White."

Ru Xiu sighed, and could only explain to her father that Snow White was a story she had made up.

Tan Xiucai praised Shi Jie and Ge'er a lot when talking about their studies, saying that Shi Jie was similar to Ru Xiu back then, both of them were diligent and eager to learn.

Knowing that Brother Xi and Brother Le were learning even faster and better, he gave up the idea of ​​personally teaching them.

Madam Gao held Ruxiu's hand, chattering about her two grandsons' studies, mentioning how well-behaved Little Sweetie was, and her experiences in the prefectural city over the past two days. She then inquired about Xige's condition, and only after learning that he had fully recovered did she feel relieved and finally stop crying.

Tan Jiaqiang was finally relieved to learn that Ruxiu had actually signed a contract with Baixianglou and was even raising chickens.

Finally, I have an income, so I won't have to worry about lacking food and clothing anymore.

Gao insisted on sleeping in the same room as Ruxiu, and Ge'er naturally clung to her grandmother and Ruxiu, refusing to leave. In the end, the four women ended up rolling around together, luckily the bed was big enough.

Even Tan Xiucai shook his head with amusement.

Half a boiled egg, two pieces of radish cake, a small corn and sweet potato bun, half a bowl of millet porridge, a few green vegetables, and a small plate of fruit.

The next morning, just as breakfast was being served, Mr. Zhang stepped through the door.

"I'll have my meal today, right? I ate a little bit last night and I wasn't hungry at all. My stomach actually felt quite comfortable. Look, my pants are all loose. I'll have to come to my mother's for meals these next couple of days."

The same food was served to Mr. Zhang with double the portion size, and both the old lady and Mr. Zhang ate with great relish.

"I never thought breakfast could be eaten like this. Usually, we eat a few big meat buns and a big bowl of braised pork rice noodles or pig's feet noodles, and then we finish it in a few bites and go to work."

"Now I can eat slowly and chat with my mother, which feels quite nice. The main thing is that I don't feel sick of eating too much food."

"Did Mother sleep well last night?"

"I'm fine. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time. I didn't get up until dawn to go to the bathroom."

“The old lady didn’t groan at all last night and slept soundly. I felt rather uneasy about it and even got up twice to check on her,” Emerald replied cautiously from the side.

"This girl is very dedicated; it's not like I've spoiled her for nothing." The old lady looked at Emerald with affection and scolded her with a smile.

"Ruxiu, now that you're here, I'll have to keep you for a couple more days. After breakfast, you can walk around. Just list the dishes and have the cook prepare them." Master Zhang tried his best to persuade her to stay. His mother seemed to be in much better health, and he thought that Ruxiu was quite capable.

"Of course, Ruxiu will write a new prescription later, and the master will have the maid prepare it accordingly."

"I heard from the steward that you have four children, but you only brought two this time. Is that a problem? Should I bring the other two along as well?" Master Zhang naturally wanted to show his sincerity and also wanted to keep Ruxiu for a few more days.

“That would be good. The children have never been to the prefectural city before. Bringing them here will broaden their horizons and allow them to visit their maternal grandparents. The old lady’s illness needs to be observed for a couple more days anyway, so I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Zhang, to take care of things.”

"There's something I'd like to trouble you with when you pick up the kids. Could you ask the driver to stop by Baixianglou in Qinghe Town and explain it to Manager Wang? I have a supply agreement with him for vegetables, fish, and shrimp, which stipulates that I must deliver every week. It seems that this matter will cause a supply disruption. Also, I have ordered 600 chicks from a stall in Xishi. Could you please ask Manager Wang to tell them that I will be receiving them a few days later?"

"Are the fish, shrimp and vegetables at Baixianglou supplied by you? What a coincidence! They belong to our Zhang family. Manager Wang said that once they started serving your fish, shrimp and vegetables, the restaurant is packed with customers every day and they can't keep up with the demand. I've been busy with my mother's affairs these past few days and haven't had a chance to go and try them."

"Yes, actually the dishes I cooked last night and this morning were all from the vegetables I supplied to Baixianglou the day before yesterday. Because they were all grown with spring water, that's why the master and the old lady thought they were especially sweet."

“Then we are destined to meet. Jade, tell the restaurant to deliver all the ingredients for the old lady and my kitchen directly from now on, and make sure it’s from Ruxiu.”

"Ruxiu, when will your free-range chickens be available? We've already signed a contract. You can supply as many as you have, and the price will naturally be twice the market price. Is that feasible? Chickens are easier to transport, but the fish, shrimp, and vegetables still need to be fresh. We can't add too many."

"That's great! Then I won't have to worry about selling them. I was originally thinking of taking this opportunity to see if I could open up some sales channels. The spring isn't big, and I don't raise many fish and shrimp, but it's enough to supply the expenses of Mr. Zhang's two shops."

"I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhang, to lend me some paper and pen. I need to personally deliver a message to the children, otherwise they might not be willing to go out with your people."

"You're so thoughtful. Your child is quite clever. There are so many women who take advantage of others these days. If she just runs off with someone, she'll be devastated!" The old lady looked at Ruxiu with a full gaze of approval.

"Please excuse the old lady and master. We'll come over together when they arrive and kowtow to them."

Ru Xiu strongly disagreed with the ancient hierarchical system, but each dynasty had its own rules, so she could only be polite for the time being.

"Why kowtow? A simple greeting is enough. We and your father have been friends for generations."

"After you finish writing, hurry up and go have something to eat with your parents. These few maids of mine are enough for you here."

"Once your other two children arrive, we'll have a meal together. I'm sorry to have troubled you for several days without being able to have a drink with your father."

“My father and mother are still worried about the old lady’s illness, and they specifically asked me to inquire about her. Let’s talk about the meal later when the old lady’s condition has improved.”

Seeing how sensible Ruxiu was, the old lady and Mr. Zhang sighed inwardly: What a good child, it's just a pity that her life was a bit hard.
