Chapter 12 We Don't Want It
Zhao Chunhua was stunned and immediately looked away.
"What's wrong? Can't I just look at you?"
Xie Lanqin was suddenly speechless.
The resting place of the third room was closest to Zhao Chunhua and the others, not far behind them. When the wind blew, the fragrance went straight into their noses.
Zhu Fangfang was so greedy that she pestered her husband and said, "Old Third, you see the food in the Second House is much better than ours? Do you want to cook something for us?"
Zhang Laosan responded, he was also very hungry.
After hearing what he said, Zhu Fangfang quickly made a pot of mixed noodle soup.
She was reluctant to add more noodles, so the soup seemed particularly thin.
They both ate with great relish.
"Old Third, you said that Second Sister-in-law is really capable now. She can even have a conversation with the village chief, Old Man Gu."
Zhu Fangfang licked the rim of the bowl with unsatisfied look and said to Zhao Chunhua who was talking to the village chief.
"I think the village chief and his men treat her very well. Should we also..."
As she said this, she pushed Zhang Laosan's arm and gave him a look.
"I think there are a lot of good things hidden in my second sister-in-law's house."
Zhang Laosan turned around.
"You can go if you want, but I won't go."
He felt ashamed. Moreover, when he was at home, the second wife always acted according to his mood. Now that he was asked to curry favor with Zhao Chunhua, he would never agree.
"Don't you want to try some jerky? Just now at the ruined temple, I saw that they all had a piece of jerky, even that black boy had one!"
Zhu Fangfang rolled her eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"She must have hidden a lot of good stuff."
The couple looked at each other with greed in their eyes.
"I want to find an opportunity to test the waters."
Zhu Fangfang said.
This time Zhang Laosan didn't say anything more.
The next day, the rain finally stopped.
But many people in the village had caught a cold. Zhao Chunhua heard bursts of coughing early in the morning, which made her scalp tingle.
So I quickly found some cotton cloth, cut it into small pieces, and made a cotton mask.
As soon as Xie Lanqin woke up, she saw Zhao Chunhua fiddling with something with some pieces of cloth.
Seeing the cloth was cut into pieces, Xie Lanqin's face turned red with anxiety and she grabbed Wang Tianbao's arm.
"Look, what is your mother doing? That's the cloth left for the child to make clothes. If it's cut like this now, what will the child wear in the future?"
Zhang Tianbao also frowned and walked towards Zhao Chunhua.
"Mom, what are you doing? These pieces of cloth are for making clothes for the children. Why did you cut them like this?"
Zhao Chunhua paused, looked at the cloth in her hand, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.
No wonder this cloth looks familiar.
This was indeed what Tian Bao and his wife bought before the New Year to make clothes for their unborn child.
It was not used at the time, so it was kept by the original owner.
I just searched for a long time and only found these two pieces of cloth. They are the cleanest and most suitable for making masks.
This cotton fabric has good breathability.
Seeing the distressed look on Tian Bao and his wife's faces, Zhao Chunhua quickly said, "This is for emergency use. I'll pay for it later."
Xie Lanqin pouted in dissatisfaction, not expecting Zhao Chunhua to really make it up to her.
This mother-in-law has always been strong-willed, and nothing that comes into her hands will be returned.
All the money her husband earns is controlled by Zhao Chunhua.
If the couple wanted to buy something, they had to ask her pitifully.
The more Xie Lanqin thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she quietly wiped away her tears.
"Why are you crying? I won't cheat you of this little bit of fabric."
Zhao Chunhua frowned when she saw her look.
Xie Lanqin pouted and said nothing.
Zhao Chunhua glanced at her and was too lazy to say anything more.
She made the masks in no time and gave one to each person.
"Wear them all on me. Don't take them off except when eating or drinking."
"Mom, what is that?"
The Zhang family's children looked at this thing with confusion.
"Face mask."
Zhao Chunhua said, "You can also call it a veil."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianbao and the other men immediately felt annoyed.
"I won't wear it. It's something women use. I won't wear it."
Zhang Tianfu stuffed the mask back into Zhao Chunhua's hands with a look of reluctance on his face.
"I, I won't wear it either, mother, you keep it for yourself and let Baozhu wear it."
Zhang Tianbao also quickly returned the mask.
There was also a hint of hesitation on Zhang Dajun's face.
He doesn't like these little girly things.
But after all, this was made by their mother.
He has always been filial and was afraid that his mother would be sad to see them not wearing them.
On the contrary, Zhang Daniu put on the mask obediently without saying a word.
Most of the small face was covered by the mask, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes.
"Put them all on me! No one can be left behind."
Zhao Chunhua ignored them and just raised her hand and threw the mask back into their hands.
"I heard so many people coughing this morning. We have a pregnant woman at home, so we must take precautions."
Several people were scolded by her, and under her ruthless gaze, they reluctantly put on their masks.
In order to save face, the two grown men, Zhang Tianbao and Zhang Tianfu, kept their heads down all the way, afraid that others would see their masks.
Still Zhang
Erxi discovered it, he pointed and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, look at this big, silly guy wearing a veil like a little girl. It really makes me laugh to death."
When he shouted like that, everyone turned their eyes to their masks and started making fun of them.
Zhang Tianbao and the others' faces turned red, and they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But because of Zhao Chunhua's face, he didn't dare to take off this embarrassing thing.
"You are so weird! You can't even wear it if you want to."
Zhao Chunhua looked at the group of people making a fuss and said helplessly with her hands on her hips.
"We don't care!"
When Bai Xiaowei heard this, she made a "Pooh" sound and looked disgusted.
The people around also started laughing.
It's really not rare.
Especially when seeing Zhang Tianbao and the others wearing floral masks, like girls, they looked really funny.
It was not until the village chief came over that everyone stopped laughing, picked up their luggage and left with the team.
When the village chief saw that the Zhang family members had their faces covered with floral cloth, he was speechless.
“What are you doing…”
Zhao Chunhua explained: "I heard a lot of people coughing this morning, so I made this little thing to prevent colds."
As he spoke, he took out a few and handed them to the village chief: "These are the ones left, let your family members wear them too."
The village chief's face froze, but he couldn't refuse Zhao Chunhua's kindness, so he had to accept it reluctantly.
But I felt very upset and regretted asking more questions.
Zhang Youcai saw the strange veil-like thing that Zhang Ruoan brought back and asked curiously, "Dad, what is this?"
After hearing this, Zhang Ruoan sighed.
"Zhao Chunhua gave it to me. She said it was a mask and could prevent colds."
Having said that, he actually didn't believe that this thing was really useful.
After saying that, he threw this difficult problem directly to Zhang Youcai.
"Here you go."
Zhang Youcai took it stupidly, then curled his lips when he saw Zhang Ruoan leaving in a hurry.
It seems that his father threw it to him because he didn't want it.
