Chapter 82 Personal Belongings
After hearing the footsteps outside the door, Zhang Sanbao came out happily from the house. As he spoke, he reached out and unbolted the door to welcome the returnees.
Before leaving, Zhao Chunhua repeatedly reminded her to lock the gate and not to be negligent.
There are few people at home, so we must pay special attention to safety.
Always make sure the door is locked before leaving.
"I'm back. It's very hot outside. Let's go inside and talk."
When Zhao Chunhua saw the girl's sparkling eyes, it seemed that even the heat in her body was relieved a lot.
Despite the scorching summer heat, her mood brightened up when she saw the lovely little girl.
"Aunt, I can write my own name now."
The little girl excitedly told her about this new skill she had learned.
Her name was given by Zhao Yunfeng, and it sounds very nice.
However, before this, she was illiterate, although she had learned some simple addition and subtraction.
After all, living means spending money, and if you don’t even know how to count, it’s easy to be cheated.
In order to protect herself in the complex life, she began to take the initiative to learn various survival skills.
"Really? Write it down for me later."
As she spoke, Zhao Chunhua walked into the house and happened to meet the slightly confused look of Goudan who had just woken up.
The child was still in a state of half dream and half dream, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in his eyes.
The little guy who was rubbing his eyes suddenly pouted, obviously a little unhappy.
During this period of time, Goudan has started to get used to strangers.
Although Zhao Chunhua only took care of him for a few days, she was extremely attentive.
Whether it is food preparation or daily care, every detail has been arranged very thoughtfully to ensure that the little one has a comfortable and happy life.
Anyway, the little guy has already remembered her.
As long as he was out of her sight, Goudan could play happily with other children; but once he saw Zhao Chunhua around, he would immediately stick to her and would not let anyone else get close to him.
"Hey, whose little crybaby is this?"
Zhao Chunhua said this in a deliberately exaggerated tone, while walking quickly towards the direction where the baby basket was placed.
In the hot afternoon sun, her tone was full of love and teasing, trying to make this little life feel safe and warm again.
She gently wiped the sweat from Goudan's forehead with a clean and soft handkerchief, then picked up the palm-leaf fan beside her and gently waved it, hoping to bring a little coolness to both of them.
The breeze with a slight bamboo scent blows across the skin, making people feel particularly comfortable.
"Sister Ying, take the big oil paper package up there to my room, then take the smallest one in this basket and unwrap it."
Zhao Chunhua instructed, while gently stroking the back of the baby in her arms.
The little guy was leaning obediently in her arms at this moment, and did not insist on being held in her arms as usual.
"Pass me a rice cake and take one for yourself."
Looking at the rice cake in her hand eagerly, Zhao Chunhua gently tore off a small piece and handed it to him carefully.
This seemingly ordinary rice cake is particularly precious in this era.
After all, this traditional food does not contain any chemical additives, unlike modern snacks.
In modern society, she would never dare to feed her children anything casually, fearing that unhealthy ingredients would cause harm to their bodies.
Into harm.
A strong cotton rope was tied around Goudan's wrist, with a small wooden stick polished to a very smooth finish hanging on it.
Because there were very limited tools at home and no fine stuff like sandpaper, Zhao Chunhua had to patiently use a knife to scrape off the rough parts of the wooden stick bit by bit last night, and then rub and clean it with a clean, soft cloth until she was satisfied before she dared to give it to Goudan to play with.
This rice cake made from softened rice paste has a delicate and unique taste, with a slight sweetness and a hint of sourness. Although it is not particularly delicious, it is a rare food for Zhao Chunhua.
For Goudan, who is still young and has just grown all his teeth, this taste is simply wonderful.
I saw the small rice cake being slowly ground into a paste under the child's newly grown milk teeth, which was moist and soft.
No matter how it is eaten, it is very rare for a child of this age to be able to grab food with his hands and put it into his mouth.
Steamed buns are actually a good choice, but the hard outer part is too difficult for Goudan to chew.
In view of this situation, every time she fed the dog, Zhao Chunhua would carefully tear the fluffy and soft parts into small pieces suitable for children to hold and give them to Goudan.
After the little guy had eaten half a piece of rice cake and drank a few sips of water, he finally woke up from his hazy state.
Taking advantage of this free time, Zhao Chunhua hurried to wash the bedding.
The stuffing of the old mattress had turned yellow, obviously after going through countless years of wind and rain; the cotton inside was tightly clump together to form a hard lump, so she simply carried a few buckets of clear well water to a simple small pool made of stones in the corner of the courtyard to wash it...
She planned to sleep in this room tonight on the cleaned and dried mattress.
New furniture will be moved into this house tomorrow. The simple bed that I am currently using will be moved to the children's room and placed against the wall. A multi-drawer cabinet filled with the baby's daily necessities will also be added on one side for future use. As for the big bed, it will be arranged near the window in the spacious and bright bedroom, where an exquisite and practical dressing table will also be placed.
The wardrobe needs to be moved, and the old wardrobe plus two partitions can be used to store precious things in the home.
Not only does this allow you to make the most of your old furniture, but it also provides a dry, tidy place for important items.
Those objects that carry family memories and valuable collections finally have a proper place to be stored.
The new wardrobe was designed specifically to hold her personal belongings.
She carefully hung up her clothes one by one and arranged each drawer neatly, so that it would be easier and quicker to find clothes every time.
Throughout the whole process, she could feel a new sense of belonging, as if this place had truly become her own little world.
The bedroom door is on the wall next to the main hall door, about fifty centimeters from the ground, so that another chest of drawers can be placed to store dry goods, leaving a layer for snacks.
This design makes clever use of space, not only increasing the storage function, but also adding a bit of convenience to daily life.
Whether it is dry goods or snacks, they are all readily available to meet the different needs of the whole family.
The kitchen only needs a small cupboard with a mesh top to hold dishes.
The fine mesh is both dust-proof and breathable, ensuring that the tableware remains clean during storage; at the same time, the lower layer is a cabinet with drawers for storing grains.
