Shen Li stood in front of her and looked at her with amusement.
"I'm kneeling down to you, please forgive me this time!" As she said that, Li Cuicui knelt heavily on the ground.
If she goes to jail, her life will be ruined!
Not to mention marrying a military officer, even if she married an ordinary woman, she would not be able to get married!
Li Cuicui knelt on the ground, crying and kowtowed to Shen Li.
"Alright," Shen Li had just arrived at the island and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. "You don't know my identity, so it's understandable that you suspect me. Let's just leave it at that."
Seeing this, the other military wives praised Shen Li even more.
"This sister-in-law is so kind!"
"Yes, if it were me, I would have put her in jail! I didn't expect this sister-in-law to be so kind and easy to talk to!"
"She's not only beautiful, but she's also kind-hearted."
Li Cuicui on the side clenched her palms.
This rascal is really scheming!
Deliberately appear to be tolerant of yourself to win everyone's favor and gain a good reputation!
Fortunately, I don't have to go to jail!
But she couldn't just watch Shen Li marry Captain Lu and become a military officer's wife, otherwise she would have no chance at all!
"In that case, let's all go!" said the political commissar.
"I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone." Shen Li said with a smile.
"What's the trouble? You should go back quickly. Captain Lu will be back with the children soon, and it's time to eat." said the political commissar.
Just like that, everyone dispersed.
Shen Li also returned home with Li Cuicui.
"I won't bother with you about this matter because you are not worth much." After returning home, Shen Li looked at Li Cuicui, "But since you are the nanny of the family, there is something I have to ask you."
"What?" Li Cuicui asked uncomfortably.
"You are the nanny of the family, but the refrigerator is empty," Shen Li's eyes were slightly cold, "How do you do it as a nanny?"
Since she is Lu Jing's partner, she is also the hostess of this family and has the right to ask about family affairs.
How can a qualified nanny not pay attention to the rotten vegetables in the refrigerator? She will definitely keep the house clean and tidy and fill the refrigerator with fresh fruits and vegetables.
This shows that this nanny is not competent.
If she hadn't thrown away the rotten food, Lu Jingzhi and the two children would have had to eat it tonight.
"I wanted to buy some vegetables, but I didn't have time to buy any!" Li Cuicui defended herself.
"Then what about you picking up the vegetables I threw into the trash can?" Shen Li said with a frown.
"These dishes are all good, why are they thrown away?"
"Good?" Shen Li's lips curved slightly, "Good onions will rot? Good potatoes will grow teeth?"
"The surface is rotten, but you can still eat the inside after digging out the rotten parts!" Li Cuicui glared at Shen Li, "Besides, such a big potato has teeth, so can't we still eat it after digging out the green sprouts?! You've just come in and you're so wasteful, what will happen if you start living with the head of the group in the future!"
"Even if you dig up bad soil, there will still be bacteria and mold in the rotten vegetables. Eating them is not good for adults and children." Shen Li snatched the rotten onions and potatoes from her hands and threw them into the trash can. "I think Lu Jing doesn't have the conditions to let the children eat leftovers all day long, right?"
"You..." Li Cuicui stared at Shen Li angrily, unable to speak.
Shen Li looked at the clock on the wall. It had been more than two minutes since Lu Jing left.
Shen Li didn't have time to argue with her anymore. "Lu Jing, take the children home quickly. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food."
Li Cuicui had no choice but to nod, reluctantly, "Okay."
"I need three pounds of pork tenderloin, one pound of noodles, one pound of tomatoes, five pounds of eggs, one pound of sugar, five pounds of glutinous rice, one pound of dates, and one pound of red beans. Buy some more green onions, ginger, and garlic. Go ahead." Shen Li said indifferently.
"Buy so many things? Can you finish them all?!" Li Cuicui wondered.
"Isn't there a refrigerator here? Everything you can't finish is stored in the refrigerator." Shen Li said.
Li Cuicui spread her hands and said, "You can let me buy something, but you have to give me money first!"
Shen Li: "How much money does Lu Jing give you for groceries per month?"
Li Cuicui: "...six pieces."
In this year, six dollars a month is very high.
"What about the money for groceries?"
"These two kids are so grown up that they can't eat or drink. They ate everything up!" Li Cuicui glared at Shen Li angrily.
Anyway, Shen Li just arrived, and she doesn’t know what happened before!
"Okay, then I'll give you five yuan to buy vegetables. I believe the supply and marketing cooperatives have clear prices for vegetables and meat, and you know how much it will cost." Shen Li took out five yuan and handed it to Li Cuicui.
Li Cuicui glared at Shen Li, took the money unhappily, turned around and was about to leave.
"Remember to hurry up, Lu Jingxiao will be going home with the child soon." Shen Li looked at her back and said lightly.
"I know!" Li Cuicui left quickly.
She stored the money Lu Jing gave her and her own money in the space along with the stamps.
Shen Li sorted all the toys and put them in order, found a mop, mopped the house thoroughly, and put away all the dirty clothes of the grown-up children.
This nanny is so incompetent. The dirty clothes are piling up like a mountain.
Shen Li put the clothes in the basin, sprinkled some detergent and started soaking them. After soaking for a while, they became much easier to wash. Soon, Shen Li washed the clothes and hung them in the yard.
She found a piece of light orange lace and placed it on the dining table. She found a clean glass bottle, poured some water into it, picked some bougainvillea outside the compound, trimmed them neatly, and placed them in a vase, which she placed on the dining table. The sunlight shone in through the glass, and the whole room was filled with warm colors like an oil painting.
Shen Li admired this scene with satisfaction.
At this time, Lu Jing came back with two children, one big and one small.
On Lu Jing's left hand side was a short three-year-old girl. She was wearing a pink skirt, skinny and bony, with very little flesh on her body. Her arms and legs were as thin as poles, and it seemed that she would fall over if the wind blew.
Her dark hair was tied messily behind her head, and she was holding a worn-out teddy bear in her arms. Her face was pale and thin, and her big dark eyes looked at her curiously and confusedly.
The moment their eyes met, the girl hid behind Lu Jing with the teddy bear in her arms.
"Duoduo, this is Shen Li," Lu Jingru held Duoduo's hand and paused before saying, "She's my girlfriend. You can call her Aunt Shen."
Duoduo hid behind Lu Jingxiao and peeked at her, pursing her lips and saying nothing.
Shen Li knew about Duoduo. Duoduo's biological mother died of dystocia when she was born. Duoduo was born weak. She was withdrawn and liked quietness. In the past, she had heard Shen Mengyue complain more than once that the Sweeper Star (Duoduo) was a medicine jar and had to take medicine every day to replenish her body. She said she was a freak and cursed more than once that she wished the Sweeper Star would die soon.
"Duoduo, hello." Shen Li walked over, smiling softly, and reached out to touch Duoduo's hair, but was stopped by a boy.
At this moment, a boy in a blue vest and black pants was staring at Shen Li vigilantly with his dark eyes.
