After dinner, Li Yun was about to clean up the dishes but was stopped by Chen Mei.
"Sister-in-law, let me wash the dishes. You've worked hard today. Go and have a rest." Chen Mei went forward to clean up the dishes and wash them.
Li Yun also felt a little tired today, so he didn't bother to be polite with Chen Mei: "Thank you for your hard work, aunt. I'll go help Dabao and the others take a bath."
"It's not hard, it's just a small thing, not hard at all. Go and help Dabao and his two siblings take a bath." Washing dishes is not hard at all for Chen Mei. At her husband's house, she works from dawn to sunset every day, cooks when she gets home, and washes the dishes after dinner.
How could it be as comfortable as today? I don’t have to do anything when I go back to my parents’ house, and I can eat such delicious food.
Thinking about the braised pork and braised pork belly I just had, I am still savoring them.
Today was the best meal she had ever had in her life. Not only was there meat, but it also tasted amazing. I’m afraid even the chef in the restaurant didn’t have such good cooking skills.
If her mother's family had meals like this every day, she wouldn't have to worry about her parents anymore.
Li Yun filled the water tank and asked Sanbao to come over to wash her hair. She had had too much fun today and was sweating all over, and her hair was wet.
Sanbao is very well behaved. Every time her mother washes her hair, she listens obediently and follows Li Yun's instructions. The water never gets into her ears.
"Mom, will you help Xiaohua wash her hair and take a bath later?" Sanbao thought of what he had just said to Xiaohua, that mommy would wash her hair and take a bath so smooth and fragrant, and she could even play with bubbles. Xiaohua was very envious when she heard that. Sanbao also told her that her mommy would help Xiaohua wash her hair and take a bath.
"Oh, Sanbao wants mother to help Xiaohua take a bath. Why?" Li Yun felt very strange. Why did Sanbao say that? It was not that she was unwilling, but Xiaohua's personality made it impossible for her to bathe her.
"Mom, this is what happened. I just told Xiaohua..." Sanbao told Li Yun everything he had just said to Xiaohua.
"Oh, so that's how it is, no wonder you said that.
Are you sure Xiaohua is willing to let her mother bathe her? If she is willing, mother can help her bathe. If Xiaohua is willing to let her bathe, then her problem is not serious. If she is given more care or more children to play with, she may open up and gradually accept others, which may change her personality.
"Mom, Xiaohua insists that you help her take a bath." Sanbao believed that Xiaohua would let her mother take a bath. Didn't she accept her mother today?
In fact, Sanbao is still young and doesn't understand a person's character at all. Xiaohua's character can't be explained by simply being timid.
"Okay, wait a minute. After Sanbao is done washing, go ask Xiaohua. If she is willing, mommy will help her wash." Li Yun still hoped that Xiaohua would let her wash. She didn't know what to say to that child, but just looking at her made Li Yun feel heartbroken.
When she first came here, Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao were not this thin. It might be because the original owner treated them as her own children.
But Xiaohua is so thin, not just because of malnutrition, but more like she is so thin because she is not given anything to eat.
"Mom, after you take a bath, Sanbao will go and ask." Sanbao was very confident that Xiaohua would be able to let his mother take a bath.
Soon, Li Yun helped Sanbao take a bath, wrapped her in a towel, carried her back to bed, and helped her put on her clothes.
Sanbao hurried to find Xiaohua. Because there was no extra room at home, Chen Mo slept with Dabao and Erbao, while Chen Mei and Xiaohua slept with Qin Lanlan.
Sanbao went to grandma's room and said to Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, I have already talked to my mother. My mother said that if you are willing to let her help you take a bath, she will help you. Xiaohua, do you want my mother to help you take a bath?" Sanbao kept repeating to Xiaohua what she had said to her mother.
"But I'm afraid." These few simple words expressed Xiaohua's reluctance.
"Xiaohua, you don't have to be afraid. My mother is a very good person. She won't hit or scold anyone." Sanbao said that his mother was a good person, trying to dispel Xiaohua's fear.
"But, I... I'm still a little scared." Xiaohua was still a little scared and couldn't even speak complete sentences.
"Xiaohua, Sanbao is right. Her mother, your aunt, is really a very kind and beautiful person. She will treat you as well as she treats Sanbao." Qin Lanlan also encouraged Xiaohua to slowly accept Li Yun.
Under the expectant gaze of Sanbao and her grandmother, Xiaohua reluctantly agreed to let Li Yun help her take a bath.
"Xiaohua asked my aunt to help me take a bath." Xiaohua said in a low voice.
"?, Grandma, did you hear that? Xiaohua agreed to let mommy help her take a bath. I'm so happy." Sanbao was so happy that he danced with joy.
"Xiaohua, I'll take you there. Mom has already filled the water." After Sanbao said that, he pulled Xiaohua to take a bath.
Li Yun had just filled the water and saw that Xiaohua didn't come over. He thought she didn't want to, so he was about to call Erbao to come and take a bath, when he saw Sanbao pulling Xiaohua over.
"Mom, Xiaohua is here for you to help her take a bath." Sanbao shouted as soon as he saw Li Yun.
"Mother heard it. Sanbao is really capable. He actually called Xiaohua." Li Yun praised Sanbao in front of Xiaohua, and then said to Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, come here, your aunt will help you take a bath and make you smell nice and smooth, just like Sanbao, okay?"
"Xiaohua, come over here quickly. My mother smells so good after taking a bath. See the four bottles on the ground? They are shampoo and shower gel. They are used for washing hair and taking a bath. They smell very good and smooth. You can even play with bubbles." Sanbao started to get anxious when he saw Xiaohua didn't go over, so his mother praised her.
Xiaohua was moved by what Sanbao said, and she slowly walked towards Li Yun.
"Aunt, help Xiaohua take a bath." The voice was a little timid and thin.
"Okay, auntie, help my cute and beautiful Xiaohua wash her hair. Let's wash her hair first." After Li Yun said that, he hugged Xiaohua and started washing her hair.
"Xiaohua, this is called children's shampoo, specially used to wash children's hair. It smells like osmanthus, isn't it the same smell as the osmanthus cake you ate today?" Li Yun carefully helped Xiaohua wash her hair, without letting any water enter her ears.
After washing her hair and drying it with a towel, I put Xiaohua into the bathtub. Because Xiaohua was small, I only put a little water in the tub and quickly covered her with milk-scented shower gel.
"Xiaohua, this is called Milk Shower Gel. When you apply it on your body, it's very fragrant and smooth, with a light milk scent.
If you don't believe me, why don't you smell it?"
Li Yun put Xiaohua's little hand in front of her nose and asked her to smell it to see if it was fragrant.
Xiaohua smelled the fragrance coming from her hand. It was very nice and fragrant. She didn't know what it was. Her aunt said it was the scent of milk, but aren't cows very smelly? How could there be such a fragrance?
Soon, Li Yun helped Xiaohua wash, wrapped her in a towel and carried her back to Qin Lanlan's room.
Xiaohua didn't say a word during the whole bathing process. It was Li Yun who was talking all the time, and Li Yun didn't feel angry.
"Wow, Xiaohua smells so good. It smells so good after my aunt washed it for her!" Qin Lanlan saw Li Yun coming back with Xiaohua and praised Xiaohua.
"Mom also thinks that my Xiaohua smells so good and is so smooth today." Chen Mei saw Li Yun coming back with Xiaohua in her arms, and quickly took Xiaohua to help her put on her clothes.
While putting on her clothes, she praised her for her beautiful fragrance.
Li Yun watched Chen Mei help Xiaohua put on her clothes. Since it was nothing for her to do, she left the room and went to prepare water for Erbao to take a bath.
