Chapter 57 Children's Sunscreen
Hai Yan worked on the fishing boat all day and only rushed home with his wife in the evening.
Although the two were now extremely hungry, they still quickened their pace and walked towards home.
I don’t know how the two children are doing today and whether they have eaten well.
When he was about to reach his own courtyard, Haiyan smelled the rich and sweet aroma of seafood porridge in the air.
Qin Xiaoling couldn't help licking her cracked lips, covering her rumbling stomach, and said to her husband.
"I don't know whose family has improved their lives tonight. Let's work harder and strive to make sure Xiaosheng and Xiaolan can have rice porridge every day in the future."
Haiyan nodded silently, feeling extremely guilty towards his wife and two children for not being able to give them a good life.
In the yard, Haisheng Hailan was guarding a pot of seafood porridge, staring at the door, waiting for their parents to come back.
With a creak, the door opened. Hailan stood up excitedly and rushed towards her parents.
"Mom and Dad, come and have dinner. My brother has cooked delicious seafood porridge."
Seafood porridge?
Haiyan looked at the thick porridge on the table and asked in surprise.
"Xiaosheng, where does this rice come from?"
Hearing this, Haisheng raised his voice and pointed at the two bags of grain in the kitchen as if to seek credit, and said.
"A sister came to our house this afternoon to buy dry goods. In addition to these two bags of rice and flour, she also had five dollars."
As he said that, he handed the five dollars he was holding tightly in his hand to his father.
The next second, no one expected that Haiyan would directly pull Haisheng over and slap him hard on the buttocks twice.
"That little bit of stuff is not worth that much money. Are you trying to cheat me?"
"I've said it so many times that people should be honest and trustworthy. Even if our family is poor, we can't take advantage of such a small thing."
Hailan was also frightened by this scene, her eyes filled with tears, but she still stood in front of her brother with her little arms outstretched to block him.
He explained incoherently:
"My brother didn't want so much money, but my sister insisted on giving it to him, saying that only the emperor could eat these things in the past."
"Dad, please stop hitting my brother."
Qin Xiaoling glared at her husband, then hugged her son in her arms.
"You are such a jerk. You didn't even ask clearly, how could you just come up and do it?"
After finding out the whole story, Haiyan realized that he had wrongly blamed his son.
He squatted down and looked at his son at eye level: "Xiaosheng, I'm sorry, Daddy has wronged you. Can you forgive Daddy?"
Haisheng wiped his tears aggrievedly and nodded: "I forgive Dad."
After the little disturbance before the meal, the family had a hearty meal.
After dinner, Qin Xiaoling sat in the yard, carefully mending the net under the dim light of a kerosene lamp.
"Didn't Comrade Lin say that he would collect these dry goods next time?"
"Let's save some more to dry in the next few days, so we can save some money for Xiaosheng and Xiaolan to go to school."
Haiyan shook his head and disagreed: "They bought so much at once, they can't finish it in a short time, they have to wait another month or two."
"I guess they must be paying such a high price because of Xiaosheng and Xiaolan. We can't treat them as suckers."
"You're right." Qin Xiaoling agreed very much.
In the morning, Lin Yunxi still slept until he woke up naturally, and took Yanyan to the bathroom to wash up.
Breakfast consisted of stir-fried rapeseed and fried tofu made by Gu Zheng, along with a bowl of hot soy milk brought back from the military canteen.
These soybeans were planted by the troops in the open space next to the base. After the harvest, they were dried and stored.
Grinding tofu and adding fresh vegetables every once in a while can improve the lives of the soldiers.
Lin Yunxi likes to drink soy milk very much, and she adds a little sugar to the hot soy milk.
The milky white color has a light yellow tint, and after being left for a while, a thin layer of bean skin will form.
The unique bean aroma goes straight into your nose. You take a sip, and the sweet fragrance fills your mouth and slides down your throat in an instant.
The only flaw is the lack of fried dough sticks, otherwise it would be a perfect breakfast.
Yanyan also likes to drink. He holds a small bowl and drinks it by himself, without anyone having to worry about him at all.
Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang also came to the yard early at this time, waiting for Yanyan to finish her meal and go out to play.
"Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, come in and sit down. Would you like another bowl of soy milk?" Lin Yunxi invited the two little ones to come in.
The two children were not as reserved as they were when they first met, and they responded confidently.
"Auntie Lin, no need. We drank soy milk this morning."
After Yanyan finished breakfast, seeing the three people were about to run away, Lin Yunxi hurriedly called them: "Wait a moment."
She took out the children's version of sunscreen that she found in the space yesterday and applied it carefully on the three people.
Although the climate here is suitable, the ultraviolet rays are very strong.
After playing for the whole afternoon yesterday, Yanyan's neck and arms were already a little peeling, and he kept crying out in pain when I gave him a bath in the evening.
Lin Yunxi took a bag of cat ears from the house and stuffed the three people's small pockets full of them so that they could eat them when they were hungry.
"Okay, go play, but don't run too fast or you might fall," she warned.
"Okay, bye, mom."
"Goodbye Aunt Lin."
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Yanyan has grown from a skinny child who could barely walk steadily to a lively, cheerful and healthy person.
Lin Yunxi looked at his son's running back and sighed in his heart.
In a little over a year, Yanyan will start attending the Yuhong class, followed by elementary school and middle school.
There is not much time to play after going to school, so Lin Yunxi never restricts the child and tries to give him enough freedom.
Here, Lin Yunxi had just finished cleaning the kitchen when Zhang Hongmei happened to arrive.
"Yunxi, let's go. I'll introduce you to the situation in our family compound."
"good."
Along the way, Zhang Hongmei explained the facilities and precautions in the family compound clearly and concisely.
This includes where it is convenient to wash clothes, which leaders live in those two-story buildings, who is easy to get along with and who is difficult to get along with.
The family quarters are separated from the barracks. Although they are right next door, even the wives of soldiers cannot approach them easily because they involve confidential information.
The two walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the square that was most popular among adults and children.
The military wives in the square were visibly divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, basking in the sun.
While chatting, we watched the children playing in the square.
Zhang Hongmei took her to the side that looked more simple and approachable, while on the other side, most people had arrogance on their faces.
Zhu Yanqiu happened to be there too. After seeing Lin Yunxi, she walked over with a smile on her face.
"Hey, whose girl is this? She's so pretty. Do you want me to be your matchmaker?"
