Grandma Bai was a little frightened by this strange scene, but her mother observed carefully and rushed forward to support her and explain the origins of these people.

Those lying there were all women. To avoid suspicion, Bai's father and grandfather were guarding outside, but the door was wide open, and the voice of Bai's mother's explanation could still be clearly heard by Grandpa Bai outside.

Madam Su took out the special awakening agarwood that Bai Qingyun had prepared early in the morning. After it was lit, the smoke had a faint scent of jasmine.

After a while, the people on the bed began to wake up one after another.

Everyone knew what was happening before they drank the sleeping pills. Now, looking at the unfamiliar environment and familiar faces, their brains slowly became clear.

The old man with patched clothes and gray hair stood up first, leading the confused crowd to kneel down under the bed: "Thank you for taking us in, Master. We will follow the Bai family till death and do our best..."

Scattered noises awoke the two-year-old who was still sleeping, and cries began to fill the room.

Bai Qingyun walked closer to the child, a little girl. When she saw Bai Qingyun approaching, she unexpectedly stopped crying. Her eyes narrowed, but she still looked at her with a smart smile.

The little girl was a little thin and not as plump as Xiao Yan, but her complexion was still good.

Bai Qingyun fed the little girl rice porridge cooked with spiritual spring water. The little girl must have been very hungry. She held the wooden bowl and ate it clean. She also reached out to Bai Qingyun to ask for a second bowl.

However, a child's stomach cannot be full, and Bai Qingyun teased for a long time without bringing a second bowl of rice porridge. Finally, he took out a piece of dessert amid the other party's groaning, and then he stopped.

However, this interruption made the originally dull atmosphere become cheerful.

At least, from today on, they can abandon their past lives and have a new beginning, life, and hope.

Bai's mother is now the housekeeper, and she said at the right time: "Because there are so many people all of a sudden, the specific arrangements for everyone's work will be made in a few days. Today you should pack your bags and settle down."

"If there is anything you want to do, such as sweeping the kitchen or yard, washing clothes, or planting flowers in the garden... you can come to me and I will arrange it according to the situation."

"As for where to live..."

After thinking for a while, Bai's mother looked around at the crowd. It was really hard to tell who was who, so she could only ask, "Excuse me, where are the wives and children of Bai Yi and the other four?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the five women holding children in the middle. Mother Bai glanced at Father Bai, who immediately got the message: "I'll go call them over now."

Bai's mother nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Because you came in a hurry, they are now teaching the children in the martial arts training ground in the backyard and don't know you are here."

"Originally they had their own place to live, but now that you're here, the whole family will naturally live together. I'll make new plans later, and for the time being, you guys will have to squeeze into one."

"Ma'am, you're too polite. We are all alone, and living together would be a good companion!" said the white-haired old man.

"Yes, ma'am, our husbands...we are all alone now, and we can have someone to talk to when we are together."

"Now that we have a place to stay, we are content."

"I just hope that Madam can arrange some work for us soon. We are restless people, and we will feel more at ease if we have something to do."

Bai's mother looked at the old woman who spoke first with satisfaction: "May I ask your name, mother?"

The old man bowed respectfully to the Bai family, then stood up and said, "When I was born, my parents wanted a son, so they named me Zhaodi. It was not easy for me to escape from that family. Now that I am half buried in the ground, please give me a name, Madam. This will also fulfill my wish!"

The old man's eyes were shining like the sunset, and it was not uncommon to see such a look blending into this room.

Bai Yi and the others had been back to the dyeing workshop before. Everyone knew that the Bai family lived a good life. Now that they had the opportunity to come here, the anticipation in their eyes was almost overflowing, and the blood in their hearts began to boil, ready to work hard to live a good life.

Bai's mother did not answer her immediately, but looked at Grandma Bai beside her. This person was polite and smart, and it would be most suitable for her to serve her mother.

Grandma Bai looked at her and said, "Just call me Kangning, Bai Kangning. May you live a long and healthy life."

Such a blessing is most suitable for her at this age.

Seeing the other party's happy eyes, Bai's mother said, "From now on, Mother Ning will stay by my side and serve me!"

"Yes, thank you, ma'am, ma'am!" Mother Ning agreed happily and quickly stood on the other side of Grandma Bai to support her.

"Mom!" Bai Yi and others appeared in the room, and the originally small room began to become cramped.

The others felt the family reunion atmosphere for a while, and Bai's mother took the opportunity to take charge of the situation and said, "Okay, Bai Yi, let the youngest take over the martial arts training ground later. You take the others and sort it out."

After saying that, the people from the Bai family tactfully withdrew. Bai Qingyun went directly to the martial arts training ground. Bai's mother asked housekeeper Xie to withdraw some money from the account and buy some daily necessities and clothes at the market tomorrow.

After everything was arranged, he stretched his sore hands, stood up and prepared to go to the kitchen to help.

As soon as she entered the kitchen yard, she could hear a lot of noise. She looked at the busy women and asked with amusement, "Didn't I tell you to put things away? Why are you in the kitchen?"

"Madam, we don't have much luggage, so there's nothing to do after we fold the bedding. It's getting late, so come to the kitchen to help, and you can have a hot meal earlier." The speaker was Bai Yi's mother, the only elderly person in the dyeing workshop.

Bai's mother knew something about Bai Yi's family situation: "I heard from Bai Yi that Quan's mother was helping out in the kitchen of the dyeing factory before?"

There is a word "Quan" in Bai Yi's mother's name, so everyone calls her Quan Mama.

Mother Quan spoke slowly and softly, "To answer your question, Madam, I used to work in the kitchen, but I was not very skilled and could only cook big pot stews."

Mother Quan is popular with people. When she said this, several women around her immediately retorted: "Mother Quan is really too modest."

"Yes, ma'am, Mama Quan is the best cook among us. She makes soup and rice so delicious that the kids have to lick the lid of the pot!"

Bai's mother nodded. The conditions in the dyeing workshop were difficult and the food was not very good, but they would not starve. She was able to make food that satisfied the children under limited conditions, which proved that she did have some abilities.

She said quickly, "That's perfect. Mama Quan will be the manager of the kitchen from now on. You can pick a few people from today's group to be your assistants. If there is any need for purchasing, just report to Butler Xie!"

Grandma Bai also came in at this time, followed by Mother Ning: "That's perfect, I also like to study food, and I will have a companion in the kitchen from now on."

Mother Ning pouted and jokingly said, "Is the old lady disgusted by Kang Ning's inability to cook?"
