Chapter 338 Zhang's Mother's Joy, Breakfast

Zhang Wanwan smiled awkwardly. Although what Li Yongfu said was true, it still sounded a bit weird.

After seeing Li Yongfu off, Zhang Wanwan entered the living room and saw Zhang's mother watching TV. She seemed very satisfied with the old house. She had a faint smile on her face, her eyes kept rolling, and she asked with difficulty: "Your uncle, let's go."

Zhang Wanwan understood and replied, "He has already gone back. I saw my uncle walking away and the door was locked. Do you want me to give you a bath first and then send you back to your room?"

Zhang's mother originally wanted to say that she didn't need to take a bath, but Zhang Wanwan had been bathing her every day these days. She seemed to feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a bath for a day. Although her body no longer secreted those sour and smelly body fluids, her skin became oily very easily, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a bath for a day.

Seeing her hesitation, Zhang Wanwan immediately decided, "Let's go! Let's go take a shower. By the way, I'll show you our bathroom. You'll definitely like it."

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang's mother entered the bathroom, her eyes were shining and she couldn't stop looking at everything.

Zhang Wanwan put her on a special stool for bathing and went back to the room to get her a set of pajamas and a bathrobe.

When taking a bath, Zhang's mother was very cooperative, but she seemed reluctant to leave the bathroom, which made Zhang Wanwan laugh and cry.

It was difficult to get her back to the room.

Zhang Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing her mother start studying the room again, she said, "Mom, my cousin specially installed two night lights for you. The lights are right at the head of the bed, so you can reach them with your hand. If you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, just pull this rope. My room is next door, and when you pull the rope, the bell will ring, so I can come right over."

In fact, the best way is for her to sleep with Zhang's mother, but Zhang Wanwan may have to deal with some things at night, and she is afraid of disturbing Zhang's mother's rest, so she simply sleeps separately from her.

Zhang's mother lay on the new bed, covered with a new quilt, with a look of satisfaction on her face, and gave Zhang Wanwan a reassuring look.

Zhang Wanwan waited until her mother fell asleep before taking a shower. She cleaned herself up before throwing herself onto the bed. She rolled around twice in her arms with the newly bought pillow. She picked up her mobile phone to check the location of the business office in town. She planned to apply for broadband tomorrow. Life without internet was like being isolated from the world. She would also buy an electric car so that traveling would be more convenient.

While she was deep in thought, her cell phone suddenly rang. Zhang Wanwan looked down and quickly picked up the phone. "Dad, are you guys home?"

"Yes! I couldn't concentrate on my work all day today because I was worried about the situation over there. How is it? Are you okay?" Father Zhang asked loudly.

Zhang Wanwan quickly moved her phone further away and turned on the speaker. "Don't worry, my mom and I are already at the old house. My mom fell asleep right after taking a shower. I just finished taking a shower. There's a washing machine over here. I can just throw my clothes in. It's not a big deal. My mom seems to like it here. She was smiling when she came over. She was in a good mood. Don't worry."

"Okay, okay, as long as your mother likes it, I won't say much. Go to bed early and call me if you have anything."

Mr. Zhang gave a few instructions and then hung up.

Not long after, Zhang Baiyan also sent a WeChat message to ask. Zhang Wanwan talked to him for a long time, but seeing that it was getting late, she decisively turned off the lights and went to bed.

Perhaps because she was tired after a busy day, she fell asleep soon after lying down.

At a little before six in the morning, the bell at her bedside rang suddenly. Zhang Wanwan startled and ran to the opposite side in her flannel robe. Seeing Zhang's mother struggling to get up, she hurried over to lend a hand, helped her to the urine bucket to urinate, and then helped her back to bed.

After looking at the sky outside, she decided not to sleep and said to Zhang's mother, "Lie down for a while, I'll make you breakfast, and when it's light I'll carry you outside to sit.

I'm going to town today to buy an electric car and get a broadband connection so you can watch online TV and I can work."

When Zhang's mother heard that it was serious business, she nodded without thinking. When she lay down, she could still hear the sounds of pots and pans coming from the kitchen from time to time, but they were very small and could not be heard at all if you didn't listen carefully.

She just stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, counting the time silently.

Zhang Wanwan rummaged through the refrigerator in the kitchen and took out the chicken and duck eggs that Li Meili brought yesterday. She planned to make a steamed egg for Zhang's mother at noon, and then add some chopped vegetables and minced the shrimps brought from Li Yongfu into shrimp paste to add them together to supplement Zhang's mother's nutrition. In the morning, she would drink soy milk. It happened that she bought a soy milk maker yesterday, so she could make peanut milk and boil eggs. She would go to the town later to prepare more ingredients.

Zhang Wanwan had just finished cooking breakfast when she heard someone outside ringing a bell to sell breakfast.

Zhang Wanwan ran to open the door and saw a middle-aged woman riding a bicycle with a large thermos bucket and a box of foam boxes. She stopped immediately and called out, "Would you like some tofu pudding?"

Zhang Wanwan went over and asked, "Apart from tofu pudding, what else do you have?"

"There are rice dumplings, steamed buns, and a lot of other things. It depends on what you want to eat." The man strongly recommended them to Zhang Wanwan.

She took a look and ordered a corn bun and a large meat bun.

When paying, the man asked curiously, "Little girl, is this your home? I've been selling houses in the nearby village for several years, and I never saw anyone living in this house. I thought everyone had moved out!"

"No!" Zhang Wanwan smiled and didn't say much.

I took the hot steamed buns back to the kitchen, brought the soy milk and dishes to the living room, and turned on the TV. Since there was no internet, I had to watch cable TV. There were not many programs early in the morning, mostly news and current events, but the advantage was that there was some sound, which was quite lively.

After finishing all this, she went into Zhang's mother's room, combed her hair, brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed her clothes, and carried her to the living room.

Mother Zhang hadn’t seen the condition of the old house at all in the evening, so she was a little shocked to see the brand new house.

When she entered the living room, smelled the sweet aroma of peanut butter and saw the TV program, she suddenly felt extremely peaceful. If her family wasn't short of money, she would really like to live here forever.

Zhang Wanwan scooped out the bowl of peanut milk from Zhang's mother and said, "It's still hot. I'll feed you later. Do you want steamed buns or dumplings?"

Zhang Wanwan put the two in front of her mother and asked her to choose. She raised her hand tremblingly and reached for the corn bun with great effort.

Zhang Wanwan did not stop her and asked her to move her muscles more to help her recovery.

With her own efforts, Zhang's mother finally touched the steamed bun. This progress brought a big smile to her face. Even though she couldn't lift anything, being able to move around like this was much better than before.
