Chapter 36: Made cotton-padded clothes for the kids

When Li Qiaoqiao heard this, she was so frightened that she ran over and knelt in front of Liu Lan, crying, "Mom!"

Liu Lan was furious, but she also knew that Wang Guixiang was a firecracker. Although she had no brains, she had a loud voice. If she said she would spread it, she would really spread it!

If this were true, her daughter Qiaoqiao's life would be ruined! Her future educated youth son-in-law... would also be in vain!

Thinking of this, Liu Lan could only stamp her feet in anger and said, "Come in with me! If I hear you swear at me again, I will let my son divorce you!"

After a while, Wang Guixiang came out with two yuan in her hand, looking very satisfied.

Excluding the one dollar she had to pay to Xia Juanjuan, half a pound of meat was 45 cents, and three eggs were 15 cents. All in all, she still made a net profit of 40 cents! Not a loss this time!

As for Liu Lan and Li Qiaoqiao, they both blamed Xia Juanjuan for today's incident!

Especially Li Qiaoqiao. After she and Xu Jiayuan entered the grove, she looked back and seemed to see a figure that looked like Xia Juanjuan.

Now after hearing his mother Liu Lan say that it was Xia Juanjuan who led Wang Guixiang to suspect her, she felt both fear and hatred in her heart!

Xia Juanjuan must have seen her and Brother Jiayuan!

No! She must think of a way to shut Xia Juanjuan up so that she doesn't dare to go out and talk nonsense!

Here, Xia Juanjuan pulled the three kids into the house, and then pulled Xiaowen to her side to check the wound on his head.

Fortunately, it was just a minor skin breakage, and the bleeding looked a bit scary, but it shouldn't leave a scar.

Otherwise, one dollar is not enough to compensate! At least make Wang Guixiang pay a hundred dollars!

Zhou Qiuhe walked in and said somewhat helplessly: "Juanjuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Xiaowen..."

Xia Juanjuan didn't feel like blaming Zhou Qiuhe anymore, so she said, "Third sister-in-law, don't blame yourself too much. Xiaowen only has superficial injuries, and he should be fine in a few days. Third sister-in-law, you've been busy all day, so go back first! I'll take care of the three kids."

Seeing that Xia Juanjuan had ordered them to leave, Zhou Qiuhe did not want to stay any longer and went back.

Xia Juanjuan waited until she left before running into the room alone, scooping some spiritual spring water from the space, and took out some iodine and Yunnan Baiyao (of course, the packaging was removed), and also took out some herbal medicines for dissolving blood stasis and stopping bleeding, such as Panax notoginseng and madder, as well as some gauze.

She asked Li Wen to sit on a small stool and cleaned the wound with spiritual spring water.

Because of what happened last time when she rescued the wolf cub in the mountains, she actually still suspected that the spiritual spring water had some healing effects, but they were not so obvious.

However, it doesn’t matter even if there isn’t any, after all it is good for your health and it is definitely better than real water which has no bacteria!

After cleaning the wound, disinfect it with iodine, apply Yunnan Baiyao and Panax notoginseng, and apply the juice made from crushed madder on the wound, and wrap it with gauze.

Although it was a minor wound, it looked quite scary when it was wrapped in gauze on my head.

Xiao Wu and Bei Bei anxiously circled around Xiao Wen, asking anxiously:

"Brother, does it hurt?"

"Brother, Beibei will blow on you! It will fly away if it hurts..."

Li Wen was small but very stubborn. Although he was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes, he still managed to comfort his brothers and sisters: "Brother is not in pain! Don't worry about me..."

Xia Juanjuan bandaged the wound and said with a smile: "Today I want to commend you three, especially Xiaowen, for rushing out to defend your home and not letting the bad guys in! But in the future, if you meet someone you can't beat, you are not allowed to fight head-on. If you can't beat them, just run away. This is called keeping the green mountains alive so that you will never worry about firewood. Do you hear me?"

Li Wen was praised, and his face was flushed with embarrassment. When he heard the second half of Xia Juanjuan's sentence, he couldn't help but mutter, "If you can't win, then run away. Isn't that deserting? Women are just... hey hey hey!"

Before he could finish his muttering, Xia Juanjuan hit him on the head with a chestnut: "You little bastard! Who did you learn this from? And from a woman? Look at what you can do!"

Li Wen raised his little hand to cover the place where he was hit, frowning and looking at Xia Juanjuan with resentment.

This hurts more than the wound on my forehead...

But he dared not protest...

Xia Juanjuan clapped her hands, stood up and said, "To reward our little heroes, let's have steamed fish and tofu fish soup tonight, okay?"

The fish is fresh sea bass caught from the space pond. It is added with shredded green onion, sliced ​​ginger, garlic and cooking wine, sprinkled with salt and steamed in a pot. It is delicious enough.

He caught another crucian carp, took out a piece of fresh white tofu, and cooked it into a pot of milky white fish soup.

I also cooked a plate of stir-fried cabbage and meat, served with millet porridge and large white steamed buns.

After a while, dinner was served. The sea bass had few bones, but when Xia Juanjuan picked up some food for Beibei and Xiaowu, she still picked out the bones to prevent them from getting stuck in their throats.

Xiaowen also helps his younger siblings to find faults and is very sensible.

The next morning, Xia Juanjuan took the half pound of meat from yesterday to Zhou Qiuhe's house and said with a smile, "Third sister-in-law, I didn't have time to tell you about this half pound of meat yesterday afternoon. Why did you bring it back to me? Didn't I say it was for you?"

Zhou Qiuhe waved her hands and said, "Juanjuan, that won't do. I fried half a pound of meat yesterday at noon, and everyone in the family ate a lot of it! How can you take another half a pound of meat? I smoked it for you yesterday, just hang it under the eaves and wait for the wind to dry it, and it will be preserved and can be eaten until next summer!"

Xia Juanjuan thought about Wang Guixiang's pettiness and felt that Zhou Qiuhe was a really nice person.

She smiled and said, "Don't refuse, Third Sister-in-law. I still need your help. This is my advance thank-you gift! I don't know how to make samples for children's clothes, can you? I want to buy some cloth to make some cotton-padded boots for the three little guys. They're afraid they'll freeze to death in the winter!"

When Zhou Qiuhe heard this, she accepted it and immediately put down her work. She said gratefully, "I can do it! If you trust me, buy the cloth and cotton and I can help you do it!"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "That's too much trouble, Third Sister-in-law! Besides, you still have three little kids to take care of at home. You teach me and I can do it myself."

Seeing this, Zhou Qiuhe did not force it. She spent the whole morning measuring the sizes of the three kids and making samples. In the afternoon, she guided Xia Juanjuan to make one.

Xia Juanjuan was clever and skillful, and she quickly got the hang of it. In just two or three days, she had made a set of cotton-padded jackets for each of the three children.

She also gave Zhou Qiuhe some cloth and cotton as a thank you for her help.

In addition to cotton, she also stuffed a lot of duck down into the quilt.

Compared to cotton which is heavy and not warm enough, duck down is much better. It looks like thin clothes, but it is very warm when worn.

The three little ones tried on the cotton-padded jackets with great excitement, and they were happier than during the Chinese New Year!

She didn't know how to sew soles for boots, and in this remote area, the supply and marketing cooperative didn't sell high-end goods like leather boots. However, the supply and marketing cooperative should sell special lightweight plastic soles. She planned to buy some in town the next day, and also sell some more things on the black market.

Therefore, early the next morning, Xia Juanjuan entrusted the three children to Zhou Qiuhe again and walked towards the town.

Although the town is not far away, it still takes about an hour to walk there. Xia Juanjuan thought about putting the matter of buying a bicycle on the agenda.
