Chapter 239 Spring Cleaning
Now, the two brothers suddenly realized that their mother was not without temper, but she just controlled her emotions very well.
She is a woman with a strong and delicate heart.
Zhao Chunhua silently complained in her heart: Wait, are you sure you are talking about me?
Looking at the gradually receding backs of Shu Yanyou and Zhang Mingfeng, Zhao Chunhua held Xiao Shitou in her arms without saying anything much.
Originally, she thought that after what happened yesterday, both of them might have some resentment in their hearts.
After all, although his attitude yesterday was calm, there was deep meaning in his words.
It seems that things are not as simple as she imagined.
Zhao Chunhua felt vaguely uneasy, but she couldn't tell the specific reason.
Her thoughts surged like waves, but she could not find a clear answer.
Perhaps she underestimated some people's reactions, or perhaps her behavior touched some hidden nerves.
What Zhao Chunhua didn't know was that the two brothers had always thought that their mother was a weak person. This idea was deeply rooted in their hearts and was difficult to change easily.
From childhood to adulthood, the image of a mother is always associated with forbearance and compromise.
Their respect for her did not come from admiration for the strong, but was more of a polite expression of emotion. It could even be said that it was an instinct out of blood relationship.
That kind of respect is limited. It is not a recognition that comes from the heart, nor is it an admiration for wisdom and strength.
But this time, when Zhao Chunhua exploded in anger, her decisiveness and efficiency were like a bolt of thunder, completely shattering the brothers' original cognition.
When faced with problems, she handled them cleanly and decisively without any delay.
This decisiveness and courage made the two brothers look at her with admiration.
They secretly marveled in their hearts: "It turns out she can be like this!"
From that moment on, there was a hint of admiration in their eyes, an appreciation and admiration that came from the bottom of their hearts.
The ways of thinking between men and women seem destined to differ, like two rivers with different trajectories that can never fully converge.
Although they tried hard to understand each other's thoughts, they found it extremely difficult.
Men's logic is more straightforward, and they tend to take quick action to solve immediate problems, even if this method may not be the best option.
Women, on the other hand, tend to be more thoughtful and pay attention to the details and long-term impact of the process.
The difference in thinking between the two leads to frequent conflicts, but it also seems to make the strong one more charming.
At least on this issue, humans seem to have some strange commonality - they can't help but feel awe and admiration for powerful individuals, especially when the other party demonstrates the ability to control the situation.
Once upon a time, Zhao Chunhua's repeated concessions made them mistakenly believe that she was weak and could be bullied.
Those retreats and compromises were infinitely magnified in their minds and became the standard for measuring character.
"If you can't even stand firm yourself, how can you win the respect and support of others?"
This is their subconscious judgment.
Therefore, in their eyes, Zhao Chunhua has always lacked a convincing power, even though she actually already has sufficient ability and wisdom.
However, if Zhao Chunhua knew these thoughts, she would probably be in a state of confusion.
Perhaps she would also think that these two guys were out of their minds and actually misunderstood some appearances so outrageously.
After all, those who truly understand her should understand that every time she remains silent and retreats, there is a meaning behind it, and it is never a surrender without reason.
Fortunately, all this has now begun to turn around with her changes, and the facts have finally given everyone a clear answer.
It was getting dark very quickly, like a huge curtain.
The cloth suddenly fell, covering the earth in darkness.
There was a slight chill in the air, and there was only a lonely little lamp outside the window. The dim light reflected on the windowsill seemed particularly lonely.
Zhao Chunhua lit a few candles, the flames flickered slightly, emitting a soft glow.
However, even with these candlelights, the room still seemed a little dim and the light was still not bright enough.
Zhao Chunhua sighed and thought to herself that she would just have to make do with it for tonight.
Anyway, there was nothing important to do in the house, so I simply took off my shoes, washed my feet with hot water in a basin, then climbed onto the bed, got into the quilt, closed my eyes and prepared to rest.
When I woke up again, it was already early morning the next day.
A beam of bright sunlight is shining into the room through the white gauze window, bringing with it a warm breath.
The golden halo was evenly distributed in the room, giving every object in the corner a light luster.
The whole space suddenly became bright and full of vitality.
It has been a long time since I last saw such a morning, especially since the arrival of winter, such a sunny day has almost become a luxury.
Zhao Chunhua stretched out on the bed, feeling the warmth of the sunlight on her cheeks, and her spirit seemed to brighten up.
This beautiful screen window was actually made by Zhao Chunhua herself.
In order to keep the room warm without making it too dark, she spent several days researching materials and finally decided to use gauze and glue.
Although she originally considered using traditional linoleum cloth as window paper, she found that the effect was not good after several attempts.
Although linoleum can block wind well, it is completely light-proof, so the room is dark all day long and looks extremely depressing.
In order to improve the situation, she bought a roll of gauze and used homemade rice milk as adhesive.
Then I tried again and again, and finally applied several thick layers of paste on it, and only then did I barely complete the work.
Of course, this is not a perfect solution.
Although it is indeed more practical than simple linoleum, allowing sunlight to penetrate through the gaps in the gauze to create a fuzzy but warm and bright atmosphere, it is much less effective in blocking the cold wind.
Especially on windy days, cold air can still seep into the house through small gaps.
In this regard, Zhao Chunhua was not completely without a remedy - she made an extra layer of thick curtains on the inside of the window.
This curtain is made of sturdier cotton fabric with a plain and low-key color, which is both beautiful and practical.
When you go to bed at night, just open the curtains to cover the windows, and you don’t have to worry about the cold wind disturbing your dreams.
I went to bed early last night and forgot to draw the curtains.
When I opened the window early this morning, it was already white outside.
“It’s snowing.”
As soon as I opened the window, cold wind rushed in, mixed with fine snowflakes, like a sudden chill attack.
Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but shiver and quickly stretched out her hands to block the biting cold.
When her fingers touched the cold window frame, she could even feel a tingling sensation, like winter's most direct warning to humans.
Zhao Chunhua quickly closed the window, moving swiftly and neatly, for fear of inhaling another breath of the freezing air.
