Chapter 21 Giving the Three Kids a Bath
Xia Juanjuan didn't waste any more words. She walked up quickly, raised her hand and slapped Song Xiu Yue in the face.
Song Xiu Yue was stunned for a moment.
Even Liu Lan and Wang Guixiang were stunned.
Song Xiuyue then came back to her senses in shock, covering her face and trembling, "You...you dare to hit me!"
Xia Juanjuan said coldly: "What? You come to my house to ruin my man's reputation, and I am still used to you? What do you mean my man likes you? Doesn't want to hurt you? If you want to be a slut, go find another man! Don't harm my man! The next time I hear you talking nonsense about fighting, I will beat you to a pulp!"
These words made Liu Lan feel scared.
What Song Xiu Yue said just now was indeed bad for Li Zhan's reputation!
Although he is no longer guilty of adultery, for Lizhan in the army, this kind of bad reputation may even ruin his future if someone with red-eye disease secretly does something bad!
Then she won’t even get the ten yuan allowance a month!
Fortunately, there was no one else around. She would just have to warn Wang Guixiang not to talk nonsense when she got out!
Thinking of this, Liu Lan quickly said to Song Xiuyue: "Xiuyue, it's getting late! You should go back first."
Song Xiuyue didn't expect that she didn't see Li Zhan, but was slapped in the face. She was so angry that tears came out. She gritted her teeth and said to Xia Juanjuan fiercely: "Just wait for me! I won't let you go easily!"
Having said that, he covered his face and ran away.
Xia Juanjuan ignored him. She turned around and looked at Liu Lan coldly, saying with a smile: "Mother-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't like me, but don't ruin your cash cow by trying to steal the chicken!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Lan immediately cursed hypocritically: "Xia Juanjuan, what are you talking about! In your eyes, Li Zhan is just a cash cow? You are really not worthy of my son!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled. Even she had to admit that the man was no match for her in terms of gossiping and calling a horse a zebra.
"Whether I am worthy of the Li Zhan or not is not up to you to decide. Also, which ear of yours heard me say that the Money Tree is a Li Zhan?"
After saying that, he went back to his room with the hot water without looking back.
The three kids were leaning against the frame and looking out. When they saw Xia Juanjuan coming back, Xiao Wu and Bei Bei immediately ran over and hugged her legs, looking up and timidly asking:
"Mom, did you have a fight with grandma?"
"Mom, grandma is so fierce! Did she scold you?"
Although Xiaowen didn't say anything, he looked at Xia Juanjuan with a worried look on his face.
Xia Juanjuan put down the hot water and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Mom and grandma had a quarrel, but... Mom won!"
When Xiaowu and Beibei heard this, their eyes sparkled and they looked at Xia Juanjuan with admiration.
"Really? Mom is so awesome!"
"Mom beat Grandma!"
Xiaowen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her little shoulders slumped.
Xia Juanjuan looked at the three little ones and smiled, "Okay, don't worry. I've heated up some water and will wash you three dirty little cats thoroughly today so you can cover yourself with new cotton quilts tonight!"
While the three kids weren't paying attention, she had taken out a down quilt from the space. It was light and warm, but she had specially sewed the quilt cover with floral fabric from the 1970s and carefully embroidered a few patches on it.
Xiaowu and Beibei had been staring at the new quilts the entire afternoon, and now they were naturally so happy that they almost jumped for joy.
Li Wen didn't say anything, but you could tell that he looked very happy and was looking forward to it.
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, you two go to that room and wait. You are not allowed to come in until I call you. Do you hear me?"
After the two boys went out obediently, Xia Juanjuan poured hot water into the basin. Then she asked Beibei to take off her clothes, picked her up and put her in the basin, and then asked Beibei to close her eyes.
As soon as Beibei closed her eyes, Xia Juanjuan immediately entered the space - the space was very large, and she could appear directly where she wanted according to what she thought in her mind. This time she was directly teleported to the edge of the hot spring.
She bent down and picked up a bucket of water from the hot spring, then made room and poured the hot spring water into the basin, and soon the basin was full.
She came out with another bar of soap and shampoo.
After a while, the little clay figurine was washed clean and turned into a cute porcelain doll.
Xia Juanjuan took out a large towel and wiped Beibei's body clean, then put her into the newly made quilt.
Then, I moved the wooden basin outside and washed Li Wen and Li Wu in the same way. However, because I was afraid that Li Wen had grown up, I did not use shampoo but soap instead.
After washing, let them get under the quilt to keep warm.
As for the clothes that the three little ones had taken off, although they were patched together, tattered and not warm enough, there was no clean clothes at the moment, so Xia Juanjuan had no choice but to let the three little ones throw them into the washing machine in the space. After a while, they were washed and then thrown into the dryer, they dried quickly.
But she couldn't take it out and put it on them right away.
Beibei and Xiaowu are fine, they are only three or four years old and don’t remember much.
But because Xiaowen takes care of his younger siblings, although he is only five years old, he has become much more sensible and is like a little adult.
He should know that it is impossible to take off these clothes in such a short time.
Thinking of this, Xia Juanjuan sighed. She must make some new clothes for these three kids tomorrow, otherwise she won't be able to make ends meet...
After giving the three boys a bath, it was already dark.
Xia Juanjuan bought two pounds of pork belly and originally wanted to make braised pork, but since it was a shared kitchen, Liu Lan and Wang Guixiang would definitely see it, so she stored the meat in the space and instead made egg noodles.
Just then, Wang Guixiang saw her lay three eggs at once, and she also grumbled for a long time with envy: "Juanjuan, you have divided the family property, and your life is too good, right? Look... I have no eggs in my house, can you give me... No, lend me two? I will buy them and return them to you!"
Xia Juanjuan was not used to her: "Second sister-in-law, we divided the food at noon. We got three. You should have got six, right? I didn't see you eating them. How come they are gone?"
When Wang Guixiang heard that her trick failed, she rolled her eyes at Xia Juanjuan and left!
Xia Juanjuan brought the noodles back into the house and let the three kids put on clean clothes and get up to eat.
The three kids had these two meals as if it were Chinese New Year. They were so happy that they held on to their empty bowls even after they had finished their meals.
Xia Juanjuan had originally made a little less noodles for this meal. She took advantage of the three kids not noticing and took out four big meat buns from the space, handed three to them, and ate one herself.
"You haven't eaten enough, have you? Here are some buns from the store in the town. But I told you not to tell anyone, do you understand? Otherwise, you won't have anything to eat in the future!"
The three little guys all looked at Xia Juanjuan with admiration. Their new mother was amazing! It seemed as if there were endless delicious food for them to eat!
There was only one kang in the room, so at night, the three kids all slept with Xia Juanjuan. Li Wen was a little uncomfortable at first, but he soon fell asleep out of exhaustion.
Seeing that they were all asleep, Xia Juanjuan secretly got up and entered the space, took a shower, changed her clothes, and soaked in the hot spring for a while. Then she collected the vegetables and grains grown in the fields, the fruits in the orchard, the milk produced by the cows, and the eggs and duck eggs and stored them in the warehouse.
Tomorrow, she will go to the black market again.
Although the allowance for Lizhan was generous, it was not enough to spend, and the various bills were not enough. Now he still owed the supply and marketing cooperative two bills.
She was going to the black market to sell some supplies in exchange for money and tickets.
