Chapter 24: Is the capitalist lady still willing to endure hardships?
The next day, Jiang Tang woke up when the little girl touched her face.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Yueyue's cute little face right next to her, smiling happily at her, revealing her white little teeth.
Jiang Tang felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
Yueyue saw Jiang Tang open his eyes and said softly.
"Mom, you're awake. My brother and I slept together last night, so why did you sleep with us?"
The little girl's words instantly reminded Jiang Tang of what happened last night.
She smiled and replied, "Because Mommy misses Yueyue and Chaochao. You are Mommy's favorite babies, so I squeeze in with you. Doesn't Yueyue like sleeping with Mommy?"
"I like it! Mommy smells good, I love it the most."
Yueyue smiled sweetly, grabbed the collar of Jiang Tang's clothes, and stuck close to Jiang Tang happily.
Yueyue also asked, "Mom, what about today? What about tomorrow? Can I still sleep with you?"
Jiang Tang naturally replied, "Baby, of course."
When Yueyue heard this, she laughed even more happily.
Turning around, Jiang Tang saw Chao Chao who had also woken up. Chao Chao was not as good at acting like a spoiled child as Yue Yue, and she just looked at Jiang Tang quietly.
Jiang Tang stood up and kissed Chaochao on the forehead. When Chaochao widened her eyes in surprise, he smiled and said.
"Chao Chao, good morning! We are up~"
She stood up and helped the two kids get dressed.
They didn't have much luggage to carry on the train, but Jiang Tang had a spiritual treasure space, so she dressed the two kids up beautifully.
The 1970s were still revolutionary years, and the most popular colors were blue, gray, and green. Jiang Tang simply chose two pairs of washed blue overalls, paired with white tops, and put them on Chaochao and Yueyue. Not only were they clean and beautiful, but they also conformed to the aesthetic of the current era.
Of course, the completion of fashion still depends on the face. Just like Chaochao and Yueyue, they look good in anything they wear.
Jiang Tang was particularly attentive to Yueyue. He tied two pigtails on her head and tied red bows on the pigtails, making the little doll look soft and cute.
As for Jiang Tang herself, her background as a young lady from a capitalist family was not good at all, and dressing too flamboyantly attracted even more gossip.
Besides, it was her first day in the compound and she didn’t know the neighbors, so it was better for her to be low-key.
She tied her hair into a side braid and wore a blue and white long-sleeved shirt and trousers. She didn't even wear a floral skirt, as long as she was clean and tidy.
But Jiang Tang's appearance is so outstanding that even ordinary clothes look different on her than on others.
Yueyue exclaimed in admiration, "Mom, you are so beautiful~"
My little girl hasn't had any candy today, but her mouth is already so sweet.
Jiang Tang touched her head and took Chaochao and Yueyue out to the yard to wash up.
While changing clothes, Jiang Tang heard the sound of "dong dong dong" from time to time. She thought someone was knocking on the wall in the next room. When she came out, she found that it was Fu Sinian knocking on the door.
It was the door that was touched lightly yesterday and only the door handle was left.
Although the family compound is very safe and there is no possibility of thieves or robbers, every household can leave their doors unlocked at night.
But there is a door, not to prevent thieves, but mainly to protect privacy.
Jiang Tang took another look at the window in the room last night and found that it had been repaired.
Fu Sinian heard footsteps behind him, put down his tools, and turned to look at Jiang Tang, "You're up, aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
Jiang Tang glanced at the sun that was almost overhead. If she continued to sleep, her butt would be burned by the sun.
"No need to sleep anymore, I've had enough rest. I'll take Chao Chao and Yue Yue to wash their faces and brush their teeth. Is the door fixed?"
"It's healed now, don't worry, it won't fall off again." Fu Sinian puffed out his chest and assured him. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Jiang Tang again. Their house really wasn't that bad.
Afterwards, Jiang Tang patiently taught Chaochao and Yueyue how to use toothbrush and toothpaste.
The two little guys tried it for the first time and were irritated by the minty and slightly salty taste of the toothpaste, which made them frown. Their little faces wrinkled up like little bitter gourds.
They were very obedient. They brushed their teeth when Jiang Tang asked them to and rinsed their mouths when Jiang Tang asked them to.
The mother and her two children stood side by side, one big and two small, neatly spitting out the foamy toothpaste.
After everything was clean, Jiang Tang put his hand in front of Yueyue's mouth, letting her breathe out.
"Yueyue, smell it. Does your mouth smell fresh?"
Yueyue smelled a faint mint scent, cool and magical. "Huff...Huff...," she exhaled several times.
Fu Sinian was preparing breakfast in the house. When he heard the voices of the mother and her two children outside, his handsome face was filled with happiness and tenderness.
When Jiang Tang brought the child back to the house, Fu Sinian had already prepared breakfast, including yellow millet porridge, pancakes and fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and boiled eggs.
This is... too rich.
Fu Sinian glanced at Jiang Tang and said, "I got breakfast from the cafeteria. I didn't know what you and the kids would like, so I bought a little bit of everything. You pick what you like, and I'll eat the rest so it won't go to waste."
Yueyue has long had her eyes on boiled eggs. Eggs are precious and she never gets tired of eating them.
She licked her lips and said, "Mom, Yueyue wants to eat your balls."
"Okay, Mom will peel the eggs for you——"
Jiang Tang reached out to take the boiled egg, but his outstretched hand was gently held by Fu Sinian.
The man said, "I'll do it."
Fu Sinian picked up the boiled egg, and with his large palm he rolled the egg on the table. The eggshell cracked easily.
Because the eggshell breaks evenly, you can peel off the entire eggshell with just a gentle tear, revealing the white and smooth egg white.
Chaochao and Yueyue watched Fu Sinian's smooth movements and thought that their father was so handsome even if he was just peeling an egg.
Fu Sinian gave one to Yueyue, peeled another for Chaochao, and said softly, "Eat it."
"Thank you, Dad."
"Thank you, Dad~" (*▽*)
The two kids thanked him obediently and called him dad sweetly, and Fu Sinian smiled knowingly.
Jiang Tang thought that was all, but then he saw Fu Sinian pick up another egg and peel it with the same skillful technique as before.
This time, the beautiful, whole egg was placed in the small bowl in front of Jiang Tang.
Fu Sinian said gently, "Wife, you eat too."
While the family of four was happily having breakfast, it was very lively outside the family compound.
Liang Kailai brought the three little soldiers from yesterday and delivered furniture to Fu Sinian's house again. This time, they delivered the bed and cabinet that Fu Sinian specifically requested.
The sisters-in-law in the compound got up early in the morning, and when they saw Liang Kailai, they blocked him at the gate of the compound.
"Captain Liang, are you back from your mission? Is Captain Fu back as well? I heard noises in Captain Fu's room last night, and the lights were on. Has someone moved in?" The person who spoke was Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei's husband is a company commander like Liang Kailai. He has been in this military camp for ten years. He is an old veteran and knows everything that happens in the family compound.
This time her message was a step late, and Wang Chunlan beside her quickly spoke up.
"It's more than just a place for people to stay. It's Captain Fu's wife who's here to join the army. I heard she brought two children with her. Xiulan, don't you know about this big thing?"
Wang Xiulan raised her chin, looking so proud.
"I found out yesterday. Captain Liang had already delivered some furniture. I wanted to go over and take a look, but my husband stopped me. He said Captain Fu and his wife had finally met, so he told me not to get involved."
Wang Chunlan's presence would surely be known to the entire compound, and the sisters-in-law would flock to watch the fun. Fu Sinian and Jiang Tang would not be able to rest well, but fortunately they were stopped.
Most of the sisters-in-law in the compound didn't know about this matter. When they heard that Fu Sinian's wife was coming to join the army, they all widened their eyes and asked curiously.
"Is it true that Captain Fu's wife has come to join the army? Could it be fake? It's been five years, and I haven't even seen her shadow. How come she's here?"
"That's right. I heard that Captain Fu begged her to come, but she refused to come."
"I also heard that Captain Fu's wife actually wants to divorce Captain Fu. After all, she is a capitalist's daughter. How could she come to a remote place like ours to suffer?"
