In the evening, after dinner, Fubao and Shen Zhile played in the yard for a while and soon became sleepy.
Seeing her stretching out her hands to rub her eyes, Old Lady Shen walked over and picked her up, saying lovingly, "Are you sleepy, little darling? Grandma will take you to take a bath now, and then go to bed!"
Fubao is a girl, so it is not right for her to take a bath in the yard outside like the other boys. Old Mrs. Shen was also worried that she would catch a cold if she took a bath outside, so she let her take a bath in the inner room and even bought her a wooden bathtub.
The hot water was already boiled, and Old Lady Shen put some cold water in the bathtub first, and then added hot water. After testing the water temperature and feeling it was suitable, she moved a small stool to sit down, held Fubao in her arms, and started to change her clothes for Yue.
Fubao quickly said, "Granny, I'll wash it myself."
It’s a bit embarrassing that he still needs grandma’s help to take a bath at the age of five.
Old Mrs. Shen was startled at first, then she burst into laughter, "Nannan has grown up and knows shame! Well, wash it yourself."
At this time, Shen Zhile ran in and said excitedly: "Grandma, I want to take a bath with my sister!"
Old Madam Shen turned around and glared at him, "Get lost! You are already so old, how can you take a bath with Fubao? Aren't you ashamed? Remember, you are a boy and Fubao is a girl. You can't take a bath together. Otherwise, you will take advantage of Fubao and I will beat you, believe it or not?"
"But, when I was little, I always took baths with Fubao!"
Shen Zhile was indignant. When he was a child, he played with Fubao in the bathtub, making Fubao laugh. How come we took baths less and less as we grew older?
Ever since he was seven years old, Mrs. Shen never let him and Fubao take a bath together.
"You also know it was when we were little!" Old Mrs. Shen said unhappily, "Get out now and don't peek at our daughter."
Shen Zhile stuck out his tongue and turned around and went out obediently.
Old Mrs. Shen touched Fubao's little head and said, "Nannan, wash yourself. The milkman is outside. If you have any problems, just call me. OK?"
"Um!"
It was the first time for Fubao to take a bath by himself. Although it was not a difficult task, Mrs. Shen was still worried. After waiting for a while, when she couldn't help but go in to take a look, she heard Fubao's baby voice, "Grandma, I'm done!"
Fubao came out wearing a pink dress. Her little face, hands and feet were chubby and her little belly was bulging. She was so cute.
"Nannan can take a bath by herself, that's great!" Old Mrs. Shen hugged her in her arms, and loved her little granddaughter to the core. When she smelled the light milky fragrance on Fubao, her heart melted.
She carried Fubao to the bed, pulled down the mosquito net, and carefully checked for mosquitoes and bugs. After making sure there were none, she let her go to sleep, tucked in the quilt for her, and sat by the bed, looking at her lovingly.
Only after Fubao fell asleep would Old Lady Shen go to sleep, and this was the case every night.
Shen Zhile slept with Fubao, but Mrs. Shen was afraid that he would take Fubao's place, so she let him sleep on the edge of the bed, as if he would fall off if he was not careful.
Old Mrs. Shen turned a blind eye to this. She thought that boys were strong and not afraid of falling, unlike her little girl who was delicate and needed careful care.
If other families saw this, they would probably complain that the Shen family is really weird!
For some reason, Fubao slept very uneasily that night, and had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.
