Chapter 470 Like mining coal
Some of the clothes were bought by Song Wenuan when she was buying clothes for her own daughter. She thought they looked nice, so she bought an extra set and had them sent from the capital.
After playing for a while, Zhou Zhaodi came in and said, "Children, dinner is ready, you can eat now!"
"Time to eat!" Chen Erbao immediately dropped the building blocks in his hand and ran out cheering.
We can eat meat to our hearts' content again!
The others followed closely behind, while Da Ni and San Ni thoughtfully helped to gather the building blocks together.
Gu Tingyun calmly led the little hamster to the kitchen to wash its hands.
Ma Xiulian had already prepared warm water and placed it beside them, knowing that the two little ones were always very clean.
Upon seeing them, Zhou Zhaodi praised, "Tingyun and Guaibao are really clean and hygienic!"
The two spent all their time together; it was a childhood sweetheart relationship, and their bond remained strong even after they got married.
Li Chunhua curled her lip, thinking it was really pretentious. She wasn't a rich young lady from a landlord's family, yet she was being so fussy and wasting firewood!
After they finished washing, Zhou Zhaodi said, "You can sit down at the table first. Don't pour out the water; let the other children wash their hands too."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted outside, "Da Bao, Er Bao, bring Liu Ni over to wash your hands too!"
The girls heard this, looked down at their hands, and obediently followed them in.
Chen Erbao remained unmoved: He wasn't some vain little girl!
The other boys followed suit and sat still on the stool.
Erni saw a bar of soap on the washstand and wanted to use it to wash her hands, as she had never used it before!
But Sanni stopped her: "This is for my baby!"
Da Ni also said, "Er Ni, you can't use it, this soap is very expensive."
Erni pouted, washed her hands hastily in a huff, and ran out.
Seeing that all the girls had finished washing but none of the boys had come in, Zhou Zhaodi called out again, "Chen Erbao, if you don't come in soon, I'll come with a stick and ask you to come!"
None of them know how to be hygienic. Look at Tingyun and Guaibao!
Chen Erbao then slowly walked in. He knew that his mother wasn't joking when she said that; she was really willing to take action.
After the boys washed themselves, the water in the basin instantly turned black.
When Zhou Zhaodi saw them, she said with utter disgust, "Look at your hands, they're as dirty as someone who works in a coal mine!"
"All men's hands are like this!" Chen Erbao said, not ashamed, but proud.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Zhaodi gave him a sharp rap on the head: "You always come up with a whole bunch of twisted logic!"
Chen Erbao clutched his head in pain and fell silent instantly, though he was indignant. He hadn't said anything wrong!
The woman brought the food to the table, and the children's mouths watered at the smell of the meat.
The adults were like hungry wolves, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the glistening meat, swallowing their saliva frantically.
Every weekend when she has a holiday, Ma Xiulian would invite a few of her grandchildren over for a meal to supplement their nutrition, but the adults didn't get this treatment.
After all, they've separated their households; how could they possibly come to their brother's house to freeload?
Li Chunhua was shameless, but she didn't dare to come by herself, fearing that her mother-in-law would chase her out with a broom.
I wanted to invite Chen Jianye to come along for some courage, but he absolutely refused. Right now, he's practically green with envy at the sight of flesh!
The second wife was alright; she treated her son and daughter equally, and was willing to share any good food with the whole family.
After all, if you can't even get enough to eat, how can you have the energy to work or study!
Moreover, reading requires a lot of brainpower.
She's counting on her two children to go to school and earn a lot of money, so their nutrition has to be up to par!
Two more chapters later, I don't have time to write much because I have a meeting this afternoon.
