Chapter 111: Bad Intentions
After watching it, they hurried home to cook.
Yang Hongmei walked in a hurry, wanting to prepare the meal before the children came back so as to give them a surprise.
Zhao Xianglan was not so anxious because her eldest daughter was at home and could have helped her with the work a long time ago.
Yang Hongmei was envious of the slow pace, but when she thought of Zhou Haomei, she didn't know how to start.
Lin Xia eats late in the morning, and she is not in a hurry to eat even if the meal is the best. Eating too hot food is bad for the body. In her previous life, she worked overtime and her body was in a mess. No matter how well she took care of herself, she could not recover to her best state.
We can live again in this life, so of course we should cherish it.
Taking advantage of the good sunshine, Lin Xia put the sea cucumbers with the internal organs removed into the pot and cooked them, stirring the bottom of the pot to prevent the sea cucumbers from sticking to the bottom of the pot and getting burnt. When they were almost cooked, Lin Xia scooped them up, put them in a basin, and took them to the yard.
There was no dustpan at home, and the sea cucumber was still wet, so Lin Xia didn't want to make it too dirty, so she went to Yang Hongmei to borrow a dustpan.
After the sea cucumbers were dried, Lin Xia took the little guy to eat together.
When I woke up from lunch break, the sea cucumber had been dried and hardened on the outside due to the sun, but it was still soft on the inside when I squeezed it. It looked like it would be almost dry if I dried it in the sun for another day tomorrow.
Dried sea cucumbers can be stored for a long time after being dried. When needed, just soak them in hot water.
Without a job for the time being, Lin Xia had plenty of free time every day and no entertainment options, so she could only focus on eating and drinking. She gradually got used to this lifestyle.
The seeds have been planted and the seafood from the morning has been processed. The only thing Lin Xia has to do is to draw the picture of the sofa before Lu Yuxiu goes to bed.
Time flies when she is drawing, but the little one is a little bored. Lin Xia is afraid that she will become autistic at home, so she thinks about taking her out.
The little one will be five years old in the second half of the year. Lin Xia is not very good at raising children, and there are no children of her age around. Da Jun and Xiao Jun are about the same age, but they also go to school. Lin Xia wants the little one to go to kindergarten as well.
Thinking of the children crying loudly at the kindergarten gate in her previous life, Lin Xia was afraid that she would also suffer from separation anxiety. She felt that she should prepare now and open a mini class for the little one at home.
It's not about teaching her knowledge, it's just about letting her get used to what it's like to go to school.
She took the little one to Xinhua Bookstore first. She wanted to see if there were any books that could help her and the little one pass the time together. As soon as she entered the bookstore, she saw a sea of red all over the world, which was really a characteristic of the times.
The conspicuous bookshelf was filled with red covers, so Lin Xia could only search everywhere. Finally, when she reached the corner, in the most inconspicuous corner, at the bottom of the bookshelf, there were books of other colors.
She squatted down and took a look, and saw a lot of picture books and comic books, with signs of being flipped. She suspected that they had been flipped through by children, so she let An An choose by herself.
Lin Xia looked for other books, but there were not many other books and the choices were limited. She picked a few books at random, thinking that there shouldn't be any big problems with them. Lin Xia looked at what the little guy had chosen and put back the ones that might have problems.
Holding these books, Lin Xia went to the front to pay.
"Are there only a few of them?" The man with glasses and a gray coat looked like a scholar, which was rare in this era.
"And some pencils and notebooks. Do you have a dictionary?"
"Yes, please wait a moment." The man looked at Lin Xia for a few seconds, then turned around and started looking in the cabinet.
While the man was getting the notebook, Lin Xia looked around, looking at the red covers on the bookshelf, thoughtfully.
She took Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and A Hundred Thousand Whys, as well as a few picture books and comic books for An An.
Lin Xia felt that there should be no problem as those books could still be displayed. Looking at the shelf full of red books, she reached out and took one and put it together with the previous books.
The man was holding a pencil and a notebook in his hands. When he turned around, he saw an extra book on the table. He looked at Lin Xia for a few seconds and then calculated the price for her.
Lin Xia didn't think much about it. She packed the books and took the little one to the vegetable market. There was some seafood picked up in the morning at home, so it was enough to buy some vegetables. After buying the vegetables, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruits, needles and thread, and wire.
Having fed the little one mangoes before, and seeing that she was not allergic, Lin Xia felt safe enough to buy a few more mangoes and longans.
There were books in the bag, so she had to carry vegetables and fruits in her hands. The little guy followed her with a mango in his hand.
Lin Xia was hanging it on her body and holding it in her hands. She was a little nostalgic for the grocery shopping carts in later generations. She was thinking about how to make one so that it would be much more convenient for her to buy groceries in the future.
Lin Xia's arms were so sore. A few women were walking towards her. Zhang Sixi, who had confronted her last time, was among them. Looking at the relationship between them, Lin Xia would not greet them and avoid being embarrassed.
But sometimes it's not that she doesn't want to provoke, the other party will also have this awareness.
"Humph! Captain Lu is really blind. He doesn't know the value of oil and salt until he runs the household. How can this spendthrift woman compare to Comrade Han?"
"Comrade Han is not worthy of this. He waited for so many years, but someone got there first without him noticing."
"Yeah yeah..."
When Lin Xia heard the name Comrade Han again, she suddenly remembered the female comrade she met in the county town last time. She had wanted to ask Lu Yuxiu about it last time, but she had forgotten about it. Now that it was mentioned again, it seemed that she had to ask clearly. She never fought a battle without preparation.
It's just that if Lin Xia can't hear the meaning of watching a good show in these ambiguous words, then her life would be in vain.
Although he seemed to be speaking up for Comrade Han, he was actually just trying to see her reaction. He just wanted to see a good show.
Lin Xia didn't do what they wanted. As if the person they were talking about was not her, she took An An straight home without even looking at them.
The other people looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and finally looked at Zhang Sixi.
Zhang Sixi watched Lin Xia walk away, as if he didn't hear what they said at all. He looked at Lin Xia with unwillingness in his eyes, looking at the various things she was holding in her hands and the bag she was carrying, which seemed to be filled with a lot as well.
His eyes flickered, and he seemed to have an idea in mind.
Lin Xia took the child back home and after a short rest, she was busy preparing dinner, leaving the little one alone lying on the table, reading the comic book attentively.
Lu Yuxiu had just left the camp and was about to walk home in a hurry when he was stopped by his comrades.
"Lu Ying, wait for us at the old place at 7 o'clock! You don't know, this opponent has been too rampant while you are away, you have to fight back today!" Wang Gang and others said to Lu Yuxiu.
"No." When Lu Yuxiu heard this, he didn't even turn his head and just wanted to go home quickly.
“Come on!” Wang Gang saw that he was trying to escape, so he gave an order and several people rushed forward to stop him.
