Chapter 572 Almost Became a Chameleon
Early in the morning, the Jiang family was busy.
Feng brought her two daughters-in-law to the kitchen, and the aroma, full of joy, floated to the yard through the chimney.
In the yard, the red lanterns and New Year paintings, complemented by the white snow, made the New Year even more festive.
Little Nuobao woke up and rubbed her eyes. She couldn't bear to sleep in today!
After tying her braid, she took out her mother's rouge, smeared a red dot on her snow-white forehead, and then ran outside with a smile to find her fourth and fifth brothers to build a big snowman.
However, she didn't play for too long, because Madam Zheng's big hand "fell from the sky" and took Fatty to the warm room to take a bath.
"My dear, if you wash your body on New Year's Eve, you can get rid of the bad luck of the year and welcome the new year!" Nanny Zheng also changed into a red shirt, with a smile on her face.
The little fat girl wanted to struggle.
But when she heard that it was a good omen, she lay on Nanny's shoulder obediently, raised her fist in a baby voice, "Okay~ Then don't forget to sprinkle flower petals on me! And spray with scented soap! Take a bath to welcome good luck in the coming year~"
Nanny Zheng nodded in response, entered the big bathtub in the warm room, and quickly took off Xiao Nuobao's clothes and put her in the water.
Before noon, Fengnian and Fenghu finally came back.
Jiang Fengnian went to the charity bureau and gave new clothes to the children so that they would not be lonely during the New Year.
Jiang Fenghu went to the farm to deliver New Year's goods, and brought back a basket of salted duck eggs when he returned home. "Mom, this is a gift from the farm. They said it's a wedding egg, and it's already pickled. It's for us to add to the festive mood."
Feng took the cloak from them and said with a smile, "Since it's a gift from everyone, put it in the kitchen. You two go and prepare the couplets. When the national master comes, we'll put them up and seal the door!"
The two sons rolled up their sleeves, and one went to find the couplets, and the other went to the door to see if the national master's carriage had arrived.
When Feng returned to the kitchen, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law with a slightly bulging belly and her second daughter-in-law with her hands full, and her heart was filled with a sense of security.
Next year, the family will have a new member.
The children were very competent in their duties, and those who went to school could get top marks, and Xiao Jiuchongtian was even more successful.
After the Chinese New Year, when Feng Miao's department store reopened, the whole family would be in full bloom!
Thinking of the hard days in the past and looking at the present, Feng's heart was more and more satisfied.
But before she could be relieved for too long, suddenly, under the corridor, there came the wailing of Doctor Wu.
"You kid, give me back my precious peony!"
"That was what I, an old man, saved for half a year and dried for three months. You are bullying an old man, you stinky boy!"
Feng ran out in surprise and saw Feng Miao with sparks flying from his feet, being chased by Doctor Wu and running away, like a dog chasing a rabbit.
"What's wrong with them?" Feng was not surprised, but still asked.
Madam Zheng was also somewhat helpless.
It turned out that in order to find flower petals for her sister to take a bath, Feng Miao mistakenly took a bag of dried peony flowers from Doctor Wu's windowsill, thinking they were roses.
The old man had saved the valuable peony flowers for a long time, and it was mixed with herbs such as dried tangerine peel to make pills. It would have been fine if Feng Miao had taken them, but the key point was that he and Xiao Nuobao thought they smelled good, so they poured the whole bag into the bathtub!
Feng hurried to the warm room and saw Xiao Nuobao soaking in the pool, with his chubby arms hanging outside, his body and face covered with flower petals, and the water was almost the color of soy sauce.
The little fat girl was all white, like a big white dumpling soaked in soy sauce. She was confused and spit out a piece of stale skin from her mouth.
Wait, where is the flower petal bath? How did it become
a medicinal bath!
Feng's eyes went dark, and she and Madam Zheng hurriedly took her out, and then frantically got water to wash the little troublemaker clean.
She scratched the girl's nose and deliberately frightened her, "Your fifth brother is naughty, and you are also a little accomplice. To tell you the truth, if you soak in this stuff for a long time, even if you wash it clean now, your whole body will turn into soy sauce color every two days. Let's see what you will do then!"
The little Nuobao was still smiling and was about to touch his mother's neck.
But when she heard this, she got scared again, and quickly lowered her head to rub her fat belly to see if it had turned black.
Feng Miao had already gotten rid of Doctor Wu by this time, and brought back some pearl powder, smiling playfully, "Don't be afraid, Nuobao, you'll be whiter than anyone else after you put this on."
Mrs. Feng was afraid that he would smear her sister again, so she grabbed him by the back of the neck and took him away with the powder.
When Mu Yihan entered the house, he saw Feng Miao jumping up and down, holding his buttocks and howling, being beaten up by Doctor Wu and Mrs. Feng.
Mu Yihan said with a dark look on his face, "Well, it's good. It's New Year's Day and we're free anyway, why not spank the child."
At this time, a fat girl with wet hair came flying over and hung on him with a worried look on her face.
"Daddy, Nuobao is going to become a soy sauce baby! Don't abandon me when I get ugly." The little fat girl was so scared that she drooped her head.
Mu Yihan was still wondering, but after hearing what Madam Zheng explained, he couldn't help but smile, but still wanted her to learn her lesson, "I told you to be naughty, now you know you're scared, if you behave well these few days, maybe daddy can think of a way for you."
Little Nuobao was obedient.
He was very well-behaved all day.
At most, she would pinch Dong Ge'er's feet or pull Doctor Wu's beard, causing them to scream.
On the first day of the new year, as soon as Xiao Nuobao opened his eyes, he rolled off the bed like a ball. Seeing that his body was still white, he happily ran from house to house to wish everyone a happy new year.
Needless to say, after walking around, he must have robbed a basket of New Year's money.
Mu Yihan waved his hand and gave the most generously, a small box of gold beans.
Feng Jing was more foresighted.
He prepared a thousand taels of silver notes the night before, smeared them on Feng Miao's face, and waited for his sister to come and take it herself.
At noon, Mrs. Xiao and her daughter-in-law, dressed in warm red cloaks, of course came to have dinner together.
What surprised Xiao Nuobao even more was that Lin Chunlai, with his artificial arm, also came from Cangcheng to pay New Year's greetings!
The farm also sent people to come, and they also pooled some money together to give Xiao Nuobao a helping hand.
Xiao Nuobao waved her fat paw and accepted everything.
Although the tenants in the farm gave little, it was also a token of their thoughts. She accepted it generously now, and would give them more money from other places in the future, and everyone would be happy.
Of course, the richest person is still the great-grandson of the Xiao family.
Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Lanyi competed to see who could give more. In the end, they were robbed by Fatty for a stack of banknotes and a golden gourd, which made her so beautiful that she couldn't even take it back.
After getting enough New Year's money, Xiao Nuobao hugged her full, ran to the bed, stuck out her little butt, and began to hide secretly.
Mrs. Feng couldn't help laughing, "Look, everyone, she was so beautiful after the New Year. Look at all the money she collected. Girl, you have to hide it well, or your mother will empty your nest one day and rob the rich to help the poor."
Xiao Nuobao knew his mother wouldn't do that.
But she was still frightened and cried out twice, holding the money box, and nimbly rolled to the other side and opened the hidden money in another place.
Everyone burst into laughter, thinking that her little look was so funny.
It would be great if this little girl could be so carefree and happy forever.
But at this moment, two black-armored soldiers suddenly came to Jiang's house.
Jiang Fengze went out to ask questions first, and soon the smile on his face disappeared.
"What did you say? Wala has mobilized 50,000 troops?"
