Ye Lulu stabilized her body and Guan Chibei stopped… but there was a very close distance between the two of them.
Ye Lulu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes dazed. All the feeling in her body was snatched away.
No one spoke to break the unspoken meaning between them.
Ye Lulu did not move, and Guan Chibei did not retreat.
The two of them maintained this posture tacitly.
Guan Chibei’s existence was so strong that she could not even ignore his undetectable breathing.
That was it…
The two of them were in such a state right now… They didn’t know what to do next.
The two of them stood silently for a long time. The longer they stood, the more obvious it became. Footsteps sounded and Mother Rong came over with a bucket of water to wash the duck pen. When she saw the two of them standing there, she said in surprise, “Lulu, Chibei? What are you guys doing here?”
They were so close, but the two of them seemed to have frozen. It was strange that they did not bump into each other despite the slight distance.
Guan Chibei retreated knowingly. Ye Lulu turned around and acted as if nothing had happened. She said, “I almost fell. Guan Chibei helped me up.”
She very naturally explained the reason as the scene before the two of them froze.
Mother Rong nodded in enlightenment and instructed, “Lulu, be careful. Don’t fall. The ground is very slippery now. There’s ice everywhere. It’s easy to fall if you slip.”
Ye Lulu replied and turned around to ask Guan Chibei about goat milk. Guan Chibei naturally returned to his usual self and said that the mother goats had been in the Guan family for a long time and had become domesticated animals. They were very docile and Ye Lulu could go in and try to milk them.
The female goats were speechless.
They were very docile.
Guan Chibei’s gaze landed on the female goats calmly. They had to be ‘very docile.’
The female goats were speechless.
“Would that really do?” Ye Lulu seemed to be in thought and asked suspiciously, “Would the goats be so docile that they would let me milk them? The young goats are still drinking. Would they become irritable?”
“The young goats are also very docile.” Guan Chibei said, “The young goats are closer to people and are very docile.”
The young goats were speechless.
When Mother Rong heard Ye Lulu’s hesitation, she said, “You want to squeeze goat milk? Let me do it. In the past, there were people in the village who raised goats and cows. I’ve squeezed milk before. It’s just a small matter. Wait for me to come over after I finish cleaning the duck pen.”
Ye Lulu nodded. After a moment, Mother Rong indeed entered the goat pen. She used a clean basin to contain the squeezed goat milk.
Under Guan Chibei’s silent and calm gaze, the female goats were indeed ‘very docile.’
Mother Rong carried the goat milk out but was a little suspicious. “I’m not sure if it will be good for the babies to drink goat milk. However, goat milk has a strong smell of mutton. Children from rich families don’t drink goat milk. Is it really good to drink goat milk?”
“Yes, goat milk can nourish the body better than cow milk.” Ye Lulu said to Mother Rong, “The smell of goat milk is a small matter. I know how to cook it. Mother will know later.”
Ye Lulu took the fresh goat milk and went to the kitchen.
Cooking goat milk was very simple. Anyone who had read about farming would know that after boiling it with almonds, the cooked goat milk would be mellow and fragrant. Mother Rong saw that the cooked goat milk was smooth and white. When she smelled it, she realized that there was no smell at all. She could not help but widen her eyes and praise Ye Lulu for knowing so much.
Ye Lulu smiled and called over the Guan family’s children. She filled a small bowl of milk for each of them and told them that drinking goat milk was good for their bodies. In the future, when she cooked goat milk, they had to come over and drink a small bowl. They had to drink it even if they did not like the taste.
