The beautiful fantasy of being intimate with his wife was shattered. Feeling aggrieved, Lu Lin had to take off his shoes, go to bed barefoot at the other end of the kang.
Jiang Chunzao and her two children slept well that night. They didn't wake up until dawn outside when the big rooster in the village crowed several times.
In the bright and sunny courtyard, Grandma Jiang had already dressed neatly and was sitting on a mat, unpacking her clothes. Jiang Chunzao got down from the kang with her head hunched over, dressed the two children who had just woken up, put on their little shoes, and sent them to the yard to wash their faces and brush their teeth. Only then did she have time to tidy herself up.
It's a good time to dress up in the hot summer. Jiang Chunzao is a young mother after all, and she still loves beauty. She thought that Lu Lin had just returned home, so she couldn't wear anything too plain. She took out the skirt she made last year from the closet and put it on. This skirt was the only good piece of clothing her son's mother had. She also braided her thick, shiny long hair into a pigtail, went out of the yard, washed her face, put some cold cream on it, and looked at herself in the mirror. Wow, what a beautiful mother!
Jiang Chunzao looked narcissistically at his radiant self in the mirror. He heard the three reed chickens in the yard clucking non-stop. He put down the mirror, put on a straw hat, and went to the yard to prepare chicken food.
In the courtyard of the Lu family, Grandma Jiang, who was sitting on a straw mat, had just finished taking off the cotton jackets of her two grandchildren and was about to take off the cotton pants of her two sons. Before she started, she saw her daughter, who had slept until noon, yawning and coming out of the house. When the old lady saw her, she said unhappily:
"I'm already a mother of two kids, how can I sleep till dawn before getting up from the kang?
My daughter and son-in-law got up early in the morning, chopping wood and helping me cook. But you, girl, slept until the sun was shining on your butt. What a mother you are!"
Seeing that her mother was angry, Jiang Chunzao hurriedly said in a flattering way:
"Mom, I'm up now. Please wait, I'm going to feed the chickens. When our chickens lay eggs, give them all to you."
After saying this, Jiang Chunzao quickly started to cut the cabbage sticks, and while cutting, she also smiled to please her mother. Jiang's mother was so amused by the girl's teasing that she couldn't hold back her face. She took another look at the girl's dress and pretended to be disgusted and said:
"Come on, look at the way you are dressed. You don't look like a young wife working in the countryside. You look more like a daughter of a landlord."
Seeing that her mother was no longer angry, Jiang Chunzao's mouth became as sweet as honey:
"I don't want to be the daughter of a landlord. I want to be the daughter of our Jiang family in this life."
Mrs. Jiang was so delighted by the sweet words of her daughter that her face was as happy as a flower:
"It is said that a daughter is a parent's little cotton-padded jacket. Your father is unlucky. He didn't hear what his daughter said."
Jiang Chunzao immediately said that it was nothing, she would wait until she met her father one day and would say whatever Grandma Jiang wanted to hear.
The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing happily when Lu Lin, who had gone to the nursing home to bring supplements to old man Lu, came back with two naughty kids in his big hands. The two kids were clean and tidy when they just got up, but now they have become happy and dirty little cats. Jiang Chun looked at the two kids and was puzzled, and asked:
"Shitou, Jasmine, didn't mom ask you two to go to the yard to wash your faces and brush your teeth? Why didn't I see you two?"
The two kids were a little nervous after hearing what their mother said. Little Shitou pursed his lips, glanced at his sister who was touching her hands uncomfortably, lowered his head and spoke softly:
"My sister and I went to the door to look for ants."
Lu Lin was afraid that the two kids would be scolded so he quickly explained:
"Shitou and Jasmine like to watch the ants moving in front of the door. They are fascinated by it."
Aunt Jiang also felt sorry for her two little grandchildren and quickly stood up:
"Oh, my dear grandson, I'm going to take you to wash your face and brush your teeth."
Jiang Chunzao saw that everyone at home was protecting their child, and she felt helpless. How come the father was a good father, the grandmother was a good grandmother, and she was the bad mother, right?
But no matter what, there has to be someone who has the good reputation in this family. Now the two kids are still young, and it is not good for the head of the family to just take care of the kids. So Jiang Chunzao glared at Lu Lin who was protecting the kids, then glanced at Grandma Jiang who loved the kids, and with a silent look he made the two of them walk away awkwardly.
Seeing that the two people who were protecting the cubs had left, Jiang Chunzao looked at the two cubs who lowered their heads and dared not speak, and took the two cubs aside and talked to them earnestly and said a lot of things. The general idea was to tell the two cubs not to be afraid, that their mother would not beat them like before, but the cubs had to be obedient, because they had to know what this person was going to do at any time.
The two kids like to watch the little ants moving house. Mom thinks it’s a good idea and supports them doing so. But wouldn’t it be better if we wash our faces and brush our teeth first and then go to watch the little ants moving house?
In the future, it will be the same when the two kids go to school. They should study hard when it is time to study, and play well when it is time to play. This is what good babies do.
After hearing what Jiang Chunzao said, the two children nodded secretly. Who knew that little Moli suddenly said something surprising, saying in a baby voice:
"If mom doesn't get up obediently every day, then she is not a good child either, right?"
Jiang Chunzao, who stays in bed every day and is ruthlessly knocked out by his girlfriend: .......
~
The unintentional words of his dearest daughter made Jiang Chunzao reflect deeply. He resolved to get up early every morning and change his bad habit of staying in bed late!
In order to ensure that her daughter would not oversleep in bed again, Jiang Chunzao seriously invited two little supervisors, Xiao Shitou and Xiao Moli, to supervise her. If her daughter overslept in bed once in the future, Xiao Shitou and Xiao Moli would get double the pocket money every day.
Although the two kids now have very little pocket money, Jiang Chunzao still made up his mind seriously.
The solemn expressions of the mother and her two children made Grandma Jiang and Lu Lin couldn't help laughing.
The Lu family had a delicious breakfast of soft and fragrant eggs, white flour pancakes, and shrimp sauce. The filial father Lu Lin took his two children to the yard to read the picture books he brought back, while grandmother Jiang continued to take off her clothes.
After cleaning up the dishes, Jiang Chunzao had nothing to do, so he went back to the house to pack the big backpack that Lu Lin brought home. The big backpack that Lu Lin brought home was bulging and had been placed in the corner since last night and no one had picked it up.
Old lady Jiang Chunzao also sat cross-legged on the kang, looking carefully at the big backpack that Lu Lin brought back, wondering what was in it, why it was so bulging.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chunzao casually untied the bag of his backpack. As soon as he untied it, several neatly stacked military uniforms fell out. Jiang Chunzao shook out the military uniforms and looked at them, thinking that if the military uniforms were dirty, he would take them to the yard to wash them.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chunzao opened and checked the military uniforms two or three times and found that not only were the uniforms starched and washed clean, but every piece of clothing in the backpack was folded neatly by Lu Lin and even the folds on the clothes were straight.
My goodness, this grown man Lu Lin folds his clothes more neatly than her, a mother. He is indeed a man who has been a soldier for many years. Captain Lu is so awesome!
Jiang Chunzao was standing in awe of Lu Lin, who was teaching his son to read picture books outside the window. His eyes were full of admiration. Lu Lin in the yard was like he knew that his wife was peeking at him through the window. He turned around and met Jiang Chunzao face to face. When Lu Lin saw that his wife was looking at him, a smile appeared on his handsome face.
Who knew that when Lu Lin smiled, Jiang Chunzao in the room felt as if she was scalded. She immediately looked away, lowered her head to tidy up her clothes, pretending to be busy.
Seeing his wife like this, Lu Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Jiang Chunzao was busy in the house with her head down for a while before she quietly looked up into the yard. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Lin with his head down reading a picture book with his two children.
Thinking of her embarrassing look just now, her face turned red again. Emma, she and Lu Lin have been husband and wife for two lifetimes, how come this man could be so charming to her with just a smile?
It’s embarrassing to think about it!
Jiang Chunzao's face turned red and his elbow accidentally hit the backpack on the kang, and a large iron box fell out of it and hit the ground. Hey, what is this?
Curious Jiang Chunzao picked up the iron box and opened it to take a look. When she saw what was inside the box, her eyes widened immediately.
