Chapter 59 Vanishing Cream

After a round of shopping, Song Feifei bought a new set of clothes and a pound of cakes, and Shen Ruoqing bought four boxes of new vanishing cream and two bars of soap. Song Feifei asked Shen Ruoqing why she bought so much vanishing cream, as she couldn't use it all by herself.

“I bought it for my family.”

Song Feifei felt a little ashamed. When she went out shopping for clothes, she never thought about buying anything for her family. These pastries were also bought for herself to eat.

"Then I'll buy a box of vanishing cream as a gift to my mother."

Song Feifei also came by bicycle. She looked at Shen Ruoqing and said, "How about I take you home first?"

Shen Ruoqing quickly shook her head: "No, no." She didn't want to be kicked on the butt again.

"Then you're going to walk back, aren't you? That's a lot of time. Do we still need to be polite? Come up quickly."

"Really? I have someone to pick me up. You can go first."

"Well, you better be careful."

After saying goodbye to Song Feifei, Shen Ruoqing could finally take out his bicycle.

"Comrade Shen, what a coincidence." Mu Bai's voice came from behind.

" Mu Zhiqing, what took you so long?" Shen Ruoqing managed a smile with difficulty.

"Come on up." Mu Bai had a big package on the front of his bicycle and motioned Shen Ruoqing to come forward and sit.

Shen Ruoqing wanted to refuse, but when she walked closer, she found that the back seat of the bicycle was covered with a soft bag.

"I saw you were having trouble sitting before, so I got some cushions. It should be better this time."

Wow, what a thoughtful little brother! Shen Ruoqing smiled sincerely this time: "Thank you, Mu Zhiqing."

With the soft cushion, the journey was finally less bumpy.

Shen Ruoqing got off the car at the village gate, thanked Mu Bai, and walked towards home.

Sun Taohua was collecting firewood outside when she saw Shen Ruoqing walking on the road from afar, dressed neatly. Her two pigtails were swinging back and forth. She was wearing new clothes and shiny black leather shoes. The clothes and the shoes cost at least ten yuan.

Sun Taohua's eyes flashed with jealousy. Very few of her clothes were without patches. The clothes she wore were tattered old clothes because she was out working. The cotton inside was not warm at all. The cold wind blew over her and made her face red with cold. She also did not have shiny leather shoes, so she wore half-worn cloth shoes.

But it doesn’t matter. She has made some money some time ago. She can buy clothes like Shen Ruoqing’s anytime and she can dress nicely.

But it's not time yet.

Thinking about what Liu Xinyi had said to her, Sun Taohua decided to be patient a little longer.

Shen Ruoqing didn't notice Sun Taohua collecting firewood in the distance, and walked towards his home with a cheerful step.

"My dear, you're back from the movie? Was the movie good?"

"Mom, it's beautiful. I'll take you to see it next time. Feifei and I went shopping in the department store. Look, I bought you some vanishing cream." Shen Ruoqing took out something.

"Hey, you spendthrift girl, why did you buy me some vanishing cream? Mom is old, and it's useless to apply anything on her. Take it back to your room and apply it yourself." This vanishing cream is not cheap. I can't waste such a good thing.

"Mom, I bought several boxes. You can use them without worry. I not only bought them for you, but also for my eldest sister-in-law and third sister-in-law." As for the second sister-in-law, Wang, she had to stand aside.

Old Lady Ji also understood what Shen Ruoqing meant: "Just give one box to your eldest sister-in-law, but forget about your third sister-in-law."

It's not that Old Lady Ji is partial. Look at what Wang and Du did, each one is more troublesome than the other. Only Han is less troublesome, serving the eldest brother every day, which is very hard.

Shen Ruoqing thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with listening to his mother.

"Then I'll give it to my eldest sister-in-law secretly. Mom, I have a lot here, so I'll give you two boxes. Apply more, don't be reluctant. Mom, you're not old at all. Look, you've been eating well recently, and your skin has improved. I think you look seven or eight years younger than before. Hasn't anyone praised you for getting younger and younger? Women need to take care of themselves. One is to look old, and the other is to look the same. Which one do you choose?"

Old Mrs. Ji was stunned by what Shen Ruoqing said. She felt that what her good boy said made sense. Moreover, when she went out two days ago, she seemed to hear her old sister say that she seemed to be more energetic and that she seemed to be more energetic when working than usual.

In fact, this is not an illusion. The spiritual spring water in Shen Ruoqing's space has the function of prolonging life. Old Mrs. Ji drank too much and naturally felt that her body became younger.

Old Mrs. Ji received a box of vanishing cream.

Seeing Wang and Shen Xiangnan coming back together, Old Mrs. Ji quickly put away the vanishing cream.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Wang looked at her suspiciously.

"Have you picked up the firewood?" Old Mrs. Ji said with a fierce face.

"I picked it up. This firewood should be enough for this winter." Shen Xiangnan replied.

Coal coupons were hard to come by, and Shen Ruoqing didn't have any. The village mainly relied on burning firewood for heating.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Mrs. Du made dinner, which consisted of scrambled eggs and brown rice.

"Now that the weather is cold, they lay fewer eggs. But our chickens are doing well and their egg laying rate has not decreased much." Old Mrs. Ji said with relief. She didn't know that Shen Ruoqing put the eggs laid by the chickens in the space into the chicken coop from time to time.

"Yes, these eggs are big and delicious. Even if we eat them every day, we still have some left over. Our chickens are really great."

Wang still ate the black flour steamed bun, but that didn't stop her from eating scrambled eggs. Wang ate most of the scrambled eggs, and didn't touch the cabbage and fried potatoes next to it.

Old Mrs. Ji's face darkened again: "Second daughter-in-law, next time you eat, you don't even want to eat eggs, right?"

Wang paused while holding the egg, and said with a smile, "Mom, I need to replenish my nutrition now."

"I think you are just greedy!" Old Mrs. Ji snorted coldly.

Brown rice doesn't taste good, but Shen Ruoqing got used to it after eating it for a while. At this time, it's better to keep a low profile. If you really eat refined grains every day, you might be reported.

After dinner, Shen Ruoqing went to Han's room to give her some snow cream, but Han refused to take it when she heard that Wang and Du didn't have any.

"Sister-in-law, this is what mom wants, just accept it. Originally everyone had it..."

Everyone understands what is left unfinished.

Han accepted it.

When Shen Ruoqing was about to leave, Han called her and said, "Sister-in-law, these are the gloves I made. Take them."

It was a pair of rabbit fur gloves. The rabbit fur came from the rabbit that Shen Ruoqing had skinned before. He had already made a vest for Shen Ruoqing with it, and Han used the extra fur to make gloves.

In fact, these gloves were made for Shen Yue, but Han felt embarrassed to take Shen Ruoqing's vanishing cream, so she gave the gloves to Shen Ruoqing.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Ruoqing was just in need of a pair of gloves. She had been thinking of going to "pick up" two more rabbits, but now she didn't have to go.
