Zhao Lexin got up very early on the 2nd.
Although it was still a bit cold, she put on thick clothes, combed her hair, and tied it up with a red hair tie.
She originally wanted to go to the kitchen to boil water to wash her face, but she saw that there was already hot water in the kitchen.
She didn't say much, and after getting some water, she went out to wash her face.
Zhao Lexin's life at the Zhou family's place is very comfortable. Although it is somewhat different from when her parents were still alive, it is not too different.
Her washbasin was still separate.
After washing my face, I went back to my room, opened the jar, scooped out some moisturizer, and applied it to my face.
She wiped her entire face, not only her neck but also her hands, and used the last bit of wipe on her hands.
This moisturizing cream was made by Chen Suwen herself. She had run out of the snow cream at home and was too lazy to go out to buy more. She also didn't have enough coupons to buy one for everyone in her family, so she made it herself.
Her homemade moisturizing cream works a little better than the cold cream, and can keep her face from cracking due to the cold wind in the cold winter.
Chen Suwen also sent some to her daughter.
Winters in Yunnan Province are colder, after all, some places in Yunnan have really high altitudes, and some places even have snow. Who knows if your skin will crack in winter?
To keep her daughter and grandchildren's faces looking good, she sent them some to use.
Zhao Lexin came out after wiping her face, and Chen Suwen also came out.
"Grandma." Zhao Lexin was very happy to see her and ran up to her to take her hand. "Good morning, Grandma."
Chen Suwen looked down and said, "Why are you up so early on such a cold day? You don't have class today."
The school has already started its winter break, so the children don't need to go to school and can sleep in a little longer every morning.
Chen Suwen didn't know if winter vacation started earlier in the real 1970s, but in the world she had transmigrated to, winter vacation did start earlier at this time.
We had a two-day holiday before New Year's Day, and school will not start again until after the Lantern Festival.
"I can't sleep." Zhao Lexin smiled. Actually, she was so excited about seeing her parents that she couldn't sleep, which is why she got up early in the morning.
Chen Suwen immediately saw what was wrong with her, tapped her forehead and said, "Alright, let's go eat first."
"It's so early in the morning, let's wait until the sun comes out before we leave."
"good."
Chen Suwen took Zhao Lexin to have breakfast. The rest of the family also got up, washed up, and then had breakfast together.
The leftovers from last night, plus the porridge I cooked this morning, made up a complete breakfast.
"Grandma, we want to go too." Zhou Xian and Zhou Mei knew that Grandma was taking their older sister to see her parents today, and they wanted to go along as well.
Although children are sometimes naturally afraid of cemeteries, they are not so afraid because it is the resting place of heroes and martyrs.
Chen Suwen frowned, "I can't manage so many of you."
Her bicycle could only carry one person, and there was no crossbar in front for another person to sit on, so it couldn't carry three children at all.
"Take me, take me~ Grandma, let's go too~" Zhou Mei hugged her grandma's leg and begged. She wanted to go too, she wanted to go too.
Chen Suwen was annoyed and had a headache. "Fine, fine, I'll take you guys with me."
"Zhou Min!"
Chen Suwen called her eldest daughter.
"What?" Zhou Min was squatting in front of the stove eating her breakfast, holding her rice bowl, when she heard her mother call out and responded.
"You'll come with us in a bit. You'll ride your bike with Ah Xian and Xiao Mei," Chen Suwen instructed.
"What? I want to go too?" Zhou Min's first reaction upon hearing that she was going as well was to refuse.
She doesn't want to go to the cemetery.
Although most of the people buried there are martyrs, she didn't want to go; she was afraid.
Who cares whose resting place it is?
Anyway, it was a cemetery, and she was scared.
Chen Su rolled her eyes at her, "When did you become so timid?"
"Even five-year-olds like Ah Xian and Xiao Mei aren't afraid, and you're ten years older than them, yet you're still scared?"
"I'm just scared." Zhou Min honestly admitted that she was scared, she was timid, and she just didn't want to go.
Seeing that she really didn't want to go, Chen Suwen could only look at her eldest daughter-in-law, Xu Huixue, and asked, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what about you? Do you want to go?"
"Are you scared? If you are, go and cover for Lao San for half a day, and I'll have Lao San take us there."
Xu Huixue shook her head, "I'm not afraid, I'll go with you."
Xu Huixue was indeed a bit braver; she wasn't that afraid of cemeteries.
When she was little, she used to play in people's cemeteries. When she came across some graves while picking wild berries, she wasn't afraid at all.
Chen Suwen was satisfied to see that she was not lying.
The destination was quite far, and Chen Suwen's bicycle could only carry one child, so she left the other bicycle at home for Xu Huixue to take both children for a while.
Zhou Qingyun and his son Zhou Cunzhi took the bus to work today, or they ran all the way from home to the factory, getting some exercise along the way.
"Mom, what are you saying? It's such a long way from home to the factory. We'll be late for work soon," Zhou Cunzhi said helplessly.
"You're still too weak." Chen Suwen looked at her eldest son with disdain. "Didn't you take a medicinal bath a few days ago? Why are you still so weak?"
"You're so weak, doesn't your wife mind?"
Zhou Cunzhi's face turned red instantly.
"Mom, I'm not kidding. You can ask my wife if you don't believe me."
A real man can't say no.
