Chapter 264: Guan Chibei Bought Two Baskets of Apples Back
The babies were already eating solid food.
They had goat milk, eggs, meat, and vegetables at home.
However, the only thing missing was fruits. Especially fresh and nutritious fruits. Ancient fruits were rare and expensive, so ordinary citizens did not have the ability to eat them.
If Ye Lulu did not mention it, the Guan family would not have thought of buying it.
However, Ye Lulu came from the modern era and knew that the babies would only be more well-rounded if they ate fruit mash. Hence, she specially instructed Guan Chibei.
Although she had transmigrated to the mountains, as long as Ye Lulu had money, she would not be stingy with her babies’ expenditure. These were necessary.
Guan Chibei’s personality was obviously very good.
He actually nodded and agreed to such expensive goods that were not practical for farmers. He did not ask anything.
The money Guan Chibei had left the city with was given by Mother Rong. As for Ye Lulu’s business, she naturally did not ask her family to fork out the money. Instead, she took it from her own.
It was not they did not have their own money. Some of the money exchanged with Guan Chibei’s prey from earlier was still with her.
Ye Lulu gave that money to Guan Chibei to buy things. She was not guilty. She wanted to do business now and earn money to raise the babies.
After more than four hours, Guan Chibei returned from the city.
As they had bought a lot of things, their Guan family kept a low profile and did not want too many people in the village to see them. Therefore, Guan Chibei carried a large basket and placed all the things he had bought in it.
The two baskets of apples were too heavy and there was no place to put them, so Guan Chibei held them in his hands.
Ye Lulu went out to pick him up and saw that these two small baskets of apples weighed about a few catties and there were about ten fresh apples. They looked pretty good as well. They were big and red!
Ye Lulu was immediately overjoyed. She went forward to take the apples and asked Guan Chibei, “You bought them? Were they merchants from another city? Was it difficult to find them?”
“What are these?… New fruits! Oh, your Guan family is really generous. You bought two baskets of such expensive fresh fruits. There are so many of them?” A woman from the village saw the apples Guan Chibei brought back and immediately exclaimed in surprise. She looked at Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei strangely.
Ye Lulu took the apples and turned around to look. This was a woman from the village called Auntie Liang. She had lived in the village for a long time, so she could recognize her. She smiled at Auntie Liang. “Oh, Auntie Liang, there are so many children at home. After winter, everyone is dry and skinny and needs some fresh fruits to nourish themselves. Furthermore, there are three babies. It’s good for the babies to eat some fruit mash.”
Auntie Liang had a son who was over two years old. He was fair and chubby. He had a round face and was quite cute. Ye Lulu had seen him before.
When Ye Lulu said this, Auntie Liang revealed an even more puzzled expression. She snorted and glanced at the two of them. She said disdainfully, “Why would we need to spend so much money to buy expensive things like fresh fruits? Why would we need to buy fresh fruits for the children to eat? There are so many children in the village, but they have always been raised like this. Even if they don’t eat fresh fruits, wouldn’t they be well-nourished?”
“Furthermore, even if the baby is sick, it’s not a big deal. I’ll bring the baby out to the city and let the government’s Kind Doctor treat him! We don’t need to spend money on the Kind Doctor to treat him. As long as they are ordinary herbs that aren’t too expensive, they can be provided as medicine for free! There’s no need to worry about the baby’s body. If there’s a small problem, we can bring him out to see the Kind Doctor.”
