She had to reflect on whether she was living too roughly and even the man in her family couldn't stand it.

Also, in the eyes of most men, lipstick is just red, there is no difference at all.

Xu Xiangjuan opened the lipstick that Zhou Chengning bought and tried it on the back of her hand.

It looks normal, and it was also normal when I tested it on the back of my hand, but it's a little dry and has some grains.

Xu Xiangjuan showed Zhou Chengning the back of her hand with lipstick on it: "Aning, it's best not to wear lipstick at night, because it's very troublesome to wipe it off, and it's also uncomfortable to leave it on your lips. Look, there are spots."

Zhou Chengning: "Juan, forget about the lipstick, just wear a skirt."

The lipstick also cost several yuan, I feel bad.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Aning, do you like skirts?"

Zhou Chengning: "Well, I like to see Juan wearing a skirt. Teacher Sun told me that his wife likes to dress up. His wife likes to dress up."

Xu Xiangjuan: "I love to dress up, but I have to dress up according to the location. It's so embarrassing here at home. When I go to Huadu in the future, I must dress up decently."

Xu Xiangjuan said that she felt guilty about her love of dressing up. She knew how to dress up, but she didn't like it at all. In the past, she dressed up purely for work needs, and makeup could make people look smart and capable.

She has a fierce personality, but she doesn't look... that fierce.

Nowadays, you can wear whatever you want. In villages and towns, as long as the clothes have no holes, you are considered decent and smart. Even if they are washed white, no one will say anything to you.

The standards are different in every place. Wearing a skirt and putting on lipstick are out of place among today's farmers. Similarly, the clothes you wear for working will definitely be out of place in the county town or Huadu.

What she wants to do is fit in.

Zhou Chengning: "Juan, I understand what you mean."

Xu Xiangjuan: "If you really want to buy something, you can buy me some skin care products to prevent frostbite and chapped skin in winter and dry skin and peeling skin in autumn. There are a lot of things you can buy anyway. You don't have to buy a skirt. I'll be happy if you buy me a chicken drumstick... And why should I wear such nice clothes here? If someone notices me, wouldn't it be terrible?"

Well, who dares to think about her?

Zhou Chengning's expression immediately turned bad when he thought about his lover being missed. "That's terrible, Juan. Keep the skirt safe and wear it when you go to Huadu next time."

He also didn't want his lover to wear a skirt when taking photos.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, I'll try not to gain weight so that I can fit into the clothes when the time comes... I can wear them at home to show you, but I won't wear them outside."

Zhou Chengning: "If you are too fat to wear it, I will buy you new ones... Juan, you are really too thin and too small now."

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I still have a little belly."

Niu Niu: "Mom!"

"Niu Niu asked his mother to do something?" Xu Xiangjuan walked to the side of the crib.

Then the fat boy reached out his hand, wanting to take the lipstick from his mother's hand.

"Niuniu, don't touch it. It belongs to your mother." Zhou Chengning realized that Niuniu wanted to take the lipstick, so she refused Niuniu and was angry with him.

Of course Xu Xiangjuan knew that she couldn't let Niu Niu play with it, nor could she put the lipstick in a place where Niu Niu played. Not to mention damaging it, she was afraid that Niu Niu would eat the lipstick, which was poisonous.

After hiding the lipstick, Xu Xiangjuan said to Zhou Chengning who was still educating Niu Niu, "Aning, Niu Niu is still learning to speak. Don't be so harsh to him, otherwise Niu Niu will hate you in the future."

Zhou Chengning: "I'm not mean to Niu Niu, Juan, you know that children need to be educated from an early age."

Xu Xiangjuan: "But Niuniu is really young, not even two years old."

Zhou Chengning: "Education starts from childhood."

Xu Xiangjuan: "You keep talking about Niu Niu. When we get old, Niu Niu won't care about you anymore and will only care about mom."

Elder care is still a social issue.

Zhou Chengning: "Juan, and you will take care of me."

Xu Xiangjuan was hit in the soft spot. Even if Guagua and Niu Niu didn't care about their father, she would still care about her Aning. "... Well, I will take care of you. You can educate your son however you want."

What follows is the scene where Zhou Chengning educates Niu Niu. Niu Niu is about to go crazy and scratch his dad. Of course Zhou Chengning won't let Niu Niu scratch him, so because Niu Niu wants to scratch his dad, he starts a new round of education.

Xu Xiangjuan wanted to cover her ears silently, but the sound of Niu Niu helplessly calling for his mother softened her heart, "Aning, go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."

Niu Niu was already shedding tears, so Xu Xiangjuan picked up Niu Niu and coaxed him.

I hope Aning didn’t hurt Niu Niu’s young heart tonight. She doesn’t want to hold Niu Niu in her arms all the time in the future.

The cow in their family is quite heavy.

Zhou Chengning: "Juan, remember to hide your things and don't let Niu Niu touch them, otherwise Niu Niu will destroy them... Let me hold Niu Niu, if Niu Niu cries again, he will make your skirt dirty."

His lover hadn't taken off her skirt yet, and for the first time Zhou Chengning felt that Niu Niu's chubby hands were eye-catching, because the chubby hands were grabbing the fabric on the shoulders of his lover's skirt.

The skirt is sleeveless, but there is fabric on the shoulders.

Xu Xiangjuan: "It's okay, just wash it and it will be clean."

Zhou Chengning: "I've washed it. Let me hold Niu Niu. Juan, go change your clothes."

"Okay." Looking at Niu Niu who was crying loudly in his father's arms, Xu Xiangjuan went to the outer room to change clothes with some concern.

After changing her clothes, she washed her hands with hot water from the thermos in the outer room mixed with cold water. The thermos in the outer room was for Niu Niu to use when he got up at night, and the water they drank was prepared in the inner room.

There was still lipstick on the back of her hand. After wiping it clean, Xu Xiangjuan went into the inner room.

She was not in a hurry to go in because she found that Niu Niu's crying had become quieter. When she went in, she saw that Niu Niu was only sobbing occasionally. He seemed to have been coaxed into submission by his father. He was leaning on his shoulder and looked like he would soon fall asleep.

Now Aning is very gentle, and there is no trace of the fierce look she had just now.

Xu Xiangjuan didn't wait and went to bed first. After Aning coaxed Niu Niu, he would naturally come up.

...

Sister Ding was right, her two children would indeed come.

It was Da Jiang who brought Xiao Jiang here.

The two kids came over at lunch time, of course they wanted to eat lunch.

"Auntie, we want to eat spicy hot pot." Tong Jianglin had already brought his own 5 yuan, and recalling the scene of mom and dad picking out the food, he thought there would definitely be enough for the two kids.

Xu Xiangjuan: "It's Da Jiang and Xiao Jiang. Your mother told me that you can't eat spicy hot pot by yourself. She will give you some other noodles, pickled vegetables and green vegetables. What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Jiang: "Auntie, I want some vegetables."

Little girl Tong Jiangna was pulled here by her brother. She was originally going to have lunch with Xixi, but her brother told her in the morning that they would have spicy hot pot at Guagua's restaurant at noon, so she was a little tempted.

Her brother was afraid that she would forget, so he waited for her after school. He was afraid that she would run away, so he held her hand the whole time.

She had already told Xixi that they would eat outside at noon and that she could go with her brother without worry, but her brother told her to stay here first if the money was not enough, and he would go home and get her money as well.

angry!

The sister who was grumbling angrily just now is now very proactive and asks for vegetables, but she wants to eat spicy hot pot.

I should have known not to bring my sister here.

Tong Jianglin: "Auntie, I want some vegetables too."

Little Tong Jiangna wanted to try them all: "Brother, you want some pickled vegetables, I want to try them all."

Tong Jianglin was unhappy: "No, I want green vegetables."

Tong Jiangna didn't hesitate: "Oh, whatever you want."

Xu Xiangjuan found it funny to see the two siblings quarreling. Her Niu Niu and Gua Gua never quarreled when they grew up. One was impatient, the other was slow. They were all one-sided. Gua Gua quarreled with his brother unilaterally. After two or three times, he was too lazy to quarrel with his brother anymore. "Do you want noodles, rice noodles, or vermicelli? If you want dried rice noodles, that's fine too."

The two children were confused at this moment. After a while, Xiao Jiang answered first, "Auntie, I want rice noodles."

"I want vermicelli, Auntie, and I also want the egg." Da Jiang pointed to the sunny-side-up egg on the bottom shelf of the food cabinet.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Okay, I understand. You two kids, go sit down."

Tong Jianglin: "Auntie, how much is it? I'll pay first. My sister and I both want eggs."

You have to pay for eating in a small restaurant... Tong Jianglin suddenly realized that his mother really knew that he and his sister would come.

Xu Xiangjuan: "Noodles are 20 cents, eggs are also 20 cents, 40 cents per person."

It costs 80 cents for two people. Da Jiang took out 80 cents and gave it to Xu Xiangjuan. Xiao Jiang had already chosen his favorite seat and sat down.

Xu Xiangjuan went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Wu Caifeng and Xu Gensheng were eating. They also heard what was said outside. Wu Caifeng helped her daughter cook noodles. "These two children are as smart as Guagua."

Xu Xiangjuan: "Mom, Guagua is just a little clever, but I can't say he's smart."

Wu Caifeng: "Children nowadays are becoming more and more generous, spending money without blinking an eye."

Xu Xiangjuan: "It's their own money, they can spend it however they want. Sister Ding told me about this a long time ago, but I didn't expect the two kids to actually come."

Wu Caifeng: "Their mother still understands them."

The vermicelli and rice noodles were ready, so Xu Xiangjuan put the sunny-side-up egg on them and sent them out.

"Be careful with the heat, eat slowly."

Xiao Jiang said politely, "Thank you, Auntie."

Da Jiang also said thank you to Auntie.

It was the first time for the two children to go out to a restaurant. Although they were not allowed to eat spicy hot pot, the rice noodles/vermicelli in front of them looked delicious.

Only after the two children finished eating did Xu Xiangjuan see them off.

...

It is impossible for adults to come here to eat every day, let alone children. Xu Xiangjuan never thought that not only Sister Ding would bring her business, but even the children could bring her business.

"Juan, I feel like this place has suddenly become a cafeteria." Zhou Chengning looked at the seat full of children with mixed feelings.

“…Yeah, I think so too.”

Today it was the teacher from Da Jiang's class who brought the children here, saying that they were going on a spring outing nearby. Classmate Tong Jianglin suggested that the teacher take them here to eat noodles.

There is a class fee for the fourth grade, and as a class activity, the head teacher asked Tong Jianglin how much a bowl of noodles costs.

Tong Jianglin said it was 20 cents a bowl, which was not expensive, so the teacher agreed.

The six four-person tables were all filled with children, so those who didn't have a seat could squeeze in because there was an empty four-person table against the wall on one side and an empty one on the other side by the aisle, so they could just move their chairs over and sit there.

It was also the first time for Xu Gensheng and Wu Caifeng to see so many children. Including the teachers, there were exactly 30 people. Although a bowl of noodles cost 20 cents, the total cost was only 6 yuan, but... it was really spectacular.

The fourth graders are more sensible now, and although they are talking, their voices are not loud.

Now if other guests come, there will definitely be no seats for them, and they will think they have come to the wrong place.

30 bowls of noodles, that’s quite a big project.
