Hunger disrupted her thoughts. Li Qingyun decided to get up first. Life had to go on, and it had to be better. She still didn't believe it. With so many supplies in hand, how could she not live well?
She had just checked and found that the jade pendant space had indeed come with it. With it, she was not afraid even if the sky fell.
I used to work so hard that I didn’t dare to stop and rest for a day. Now I can finally enjoy my life, and I have two more sons.
Opening the wooden chest at the head of the kang, Li Qingyun took out a patched and ragged piece of clothing and put it on. She had to clean the house today. Li Zhaodi really didn't know how to live. The house was as messy as a doghouse, the two children were dirty, and she herself was not very clean either.
Although she didn't have mysophobia, she was a person who loved cleanliness. She couldn't stand it. The house had a dirt floor, and dust flew everywhere when she stepped on it. She didn't know how long it had been since the dust was cleaned, and there were spider webs everywhere on the walls.
Before cleaning, the three members of the family must be fed first. Dabao went to cook rice soup for Erbao, but she didn't plan to let him drink only rice soup. She had already prepared so much baby milk powder in her space.
Li Qingyun walked to the kitchen and saw Dabao was making a fire in the dark kitchen. Erbao was placed on the pile of firewood beside him. The little guy was grunting and trying to crawl away, and he moved a little bit after a long time.
She held her forehead and sighed again. She didn't know if Li Zhaodi was stupid enough to let a four-year-old take care of a five-month-old baby. She resigned herself to her fate and picked up Erbao from the firewood pile. She shook off the dust on him, and the little guy gave her a toothless smile.
Although these two little guys are pale and thin, their facial features seem to be in good shape. They should be able to look good after some care.
"Mom, I made rice soup for Erbao and put three big sweet potatoes in it. I'll have one and you can have two. Is that okay?" Dabao looked up at her inquiringly.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. The four-year-old child can cook and make fire quite well, but the main problem is that he has a lazy mother. If he doesn't find a way out on his own, he will starve to death. Poor kid.
Li Qingyun opened the lid of the pot and estimated that there was only a handful of rice in it, but half a pot of water. There were also three large sweet potatoes with skins on. It looked like they had been washed, right?
"Go get another small bowl of rice from the cupboard. This little bit of rice isn't enough to fill your stomach." She said with a cold face.
Dabao was a little surprised that his mother was so generous today, but he was also very happy that if more rice was added, the soup would be thicker and better for Erbao. Without thinking too much, he happily picked up Erbao's small bowl on the stove and filled it with rice.
There are a lot of delicious food in Li Qingyun's space, but it is not convenient to take them out at this time. She can only make do with it for one day and wait until tomorrow to go to the commune and buy some things at the supply and marketing cooperative. By the way, she can also take out some of the supplies she has and use them. Although the two children are young, she still cannot be careless.
Carrying Erbao back to the room, she bolted the door, and put the child on the kang. Then Li Qingyun entered the space, took out the A2 stage milk powder she had bought and a small Pigeon bottle, and left the space.
I found the thermos at home. The water inside had become warm after a night, just enough to mix with milk powder.
"Ah...ah...ah" Erbao looked at the bottle in her hand and kept calling out "ah...ah", probably because he thought it was fun.
I mixed 180 ml of milk powder, picked up my second baby, adjusted the angle to the right point, and put the nipple into his mouth. He smelled the sweet taste and started sucking without any instruction. All I could hear was gurgling sounds. He finished a bottle of milk in three minutes. He was a real eater.
After drinking the milk, the baby squinted his big eyes in satisfaction, which made Li Qingyun so cute.
Erbao only drank breast milk for three months, and Li Zhaodi had no milk to feed him. He cried day and night, and Li Zhaodi was so annoyed that she gave him to Dabao. Dabao felt sorry for his younger brother and cooked rice porridge for him every day. Sometimes when Li Zhaodi was in a bad mood and couldn't get rice, she had to give him some of her own rations. He ate whatever he had. He was a poor child.
After Erbao finished drinking the milk, Li Qingyun washed the bottles with warm water in the kettle and put them back into the space to avoid being discovered.
I ate a big hot bun in my space to satisfy my stomach and felt much better all over. It’s a pity that I can’t share it with my eldest son today.
Just as she went to pick up the child on the bed, she found that he had urinated, and his pants and sheets were wet.
Fortunately, she had planned to clean the house today, so she just peed, since there was no clean place in the house anyway.
He found a clean pair of pants for Erbao to change into and put him in a wooden rocking bed. This bed was made by Gu Tingzhou himself for Dabao when he came home to visit his family when Dabao was little, which shows that he loves his children.
After settling her second baby down and seeing him having fun in his crib, she rolled up her sleeves and began to clean up. She threw all the dirty clothes, changed diapers, and freshly wet sheets of all the adults and children in the house into the big wooden basin in the yard.
I took out a not-too-conspicuous toothbrush and a white towel from the space, and used the remaining warm water in the kettle to clean myself up.
Speaking of this thermos, it was Gu Tingzhou who bought it for them when they got married. It is not easy to buy a thermos in the countryside, so the original owner treasured it very much.
She put away her toothbrush and white towel, and threw away the original owner's bald toothbrush. As for the black towel that the whole family shared and whose color could not be identified, she used it as a rag.
Just as I finished tidying myself up, Dabao came out of the kitchen.
"Mom, it's time to eat."
Li Qingyun agreed and walked into the kitchen. Dabao was standing on a small stool, serving rice with difficulty.
She hurried over, snatched the spoon and bowl from his hands, and said in a panic: "Children can't touch it. It's so dangerous. It will burn you."
The original body would not feel so sorry for the child. Dabao hadn’t heard his mother care about him like this for a long time. Maybe never?
As soon as Li Qingyun said this, she felt that she was doomed and exposed. Fortunately, Dabao didn't react at all. He just walked away blankly and moved the stool and put it away.
"Children should not be stubborn. If you cannot do something, you should ask adults for help. If something happens to you, how am I going to explain to your father?" She added after thinking for a moment.
Dabao's tangled heart was relieved again. Yes, why would his mother suddenly care about others? It was just that she was afraid that if something happened to him, she would not be able to explain it.
