As soon as she opened the bathroom door, two figures, one big and one small, stood in the doorway like doorkeepers, almost giving Su Jingjing a heart attack.
"What are you doing? Are you afraid I'll abuse the child?"
Before the father and son could speak, she handed Yuanyuan to Li Hanting and told him to dry the child's hair.
After saying that, she turned around and went into the bathroom to clean up the mess. Then she washed the clothes. The two children didn't have many clothes in total, so it was better to dry them as soon as possible so they would have clothes to wear next time.
"Sister, old demon..."
Li Cheng'an fell silent under his father's sharp gaze, then asked honestly, "Did she bully you?"
Li Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile and said softly, "Mommy will give me a nice bath."
He overheard the entire conversation between the two children. Li Hanting paused, his hand wiping his daughter's soft hair. Could it be that she was truly repentant?
Su Jingjing busied herself in the bathroom for a long time before it was finally her turn to take a shower. It's true that fat people sweat easily; she felt sticky all over.
I spent another hour showering in the bathroom, and finally felt completely refreshed.
Her long, black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and her cheeks were dotted with water droplets, making her look clear and beautiful.
Through the hazy mirror, aside from her obese body, Su Jingjing was quite satisfied with the original owner's D-cup breasts and fair skin. She used to be called "Flat-chested Princess" because of her small breasts, which was a lifelong pain for her.
Now, her skin is just a little rough, but she can take good care of it; and she's a little overweight, but she's determined to lose weight.
The only thing that displeased her was the clothes in the original owner's closet. She didn't know what kind of taste they had; the clothes were either bright red or green, all sorts of vibrant colors. She searched through the closet for a long time before finally finding a simple dress.
With her current figure, she can forget about wearing any pretty clothes. Once she loses weight, she'll definitely have a good time shopping.
When they came out of the bathroom, the father and his two sons were no longer in the living room. Li Hanting was in the study, where a small bed had been installed. For the past four years, the two of them had been sleeping in separate beds.
With the two children in the guest room, thinking of Yuanyuan's injuries, Su Jingjing went to the guest room, knocked gently a few times, and only opened the door after receiving a response.
"Why is it you?"
Li Cheng'an asked in surprise. He thought his father would come over and remind them to cover themselves with blankets at night.
"I took my sister to her room to apply some medicine. Don't worry, if I wanted to hit her, I would have done so while she was taking a shower just now."
"No, you're definitely up to no good."
He pulled the old hag's hand away; she must be planning to hit his sister while his father was asleep.
Since the brat wouldn't work, Su Jingjing had no choice but to use Yuanyuan as a starting point. She squatted down and gently asked, "Yuanyuan, are you willing to believe your mother?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands, gesturing for the child to come into her arms.
Li Yuanyuan glanced at her brother, then turned to look at her mother. Ignoring her brother's objections, she slowly nestled into her mother's arms.
Su Jingjing smiled with relief, gently picked up Yuanyuan, and when she realized that the brat was about to follow, she quickly stopped him, "Boys can't follow."
Li Cheng'an stopped in his tracks in fright. Only after the door closed did he realize why he had listened to the old hag. What if she bullied his sister? He was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room.
After Su Jingjing took Yuanyuan to her room, she took out some liniment from the drawer and gently removed the child's clothes while whispering, "Yuanyuan, don't be afraid, Mommy is just rubbing your wound."
Seeing these scars again, some of which have left slight marks because they weren't treated in time, I hope that the child's metabolism is strong enough to make these marks disappear.
While wiping her, she asked with concern, "Yuanyuan, does it hurt?"
Li Yuanyuan silently shook her head. Her mother hadn't hit her these past two days, so it didn't hurt.
"Okay, just wipe it a few more times and it'll be fine."
As she spoke, she dressed the child.
After carrying the child back to the guest room, Li Cheng'an immediately pulled his younger sister over and made her stand to the side like a little leopard. Su Jingjing didn't want to provoke his beastly nature, so she said "Go to sleep early" and left.
Instead of going straight back to her room, she went back to the bathroom, lifted the scar on her forehead in front of the mirror, and gently wiped it away. She didn't want to leave a scar on her forehead.
The clock on the wall showed only nine o'clock. In later times, young people's nightlife would just begin. But in the 1980s, there was no entertainment. After dinner, people would go to bed. Su Jingjing had taken a nap at noon and was now full of energy, not sleepy at all. However, this soft mattress was so comfortable and didn't hurt her. Last night, the hard mattress had made her back ache.
With his hands clasped behind his head, he thought about how to plan for the days to come.
next day
The sound of the bugle woke her up again. She looked out the window and saw that the sky was still gray. She had slept for a long time that night and didn't feel sleepy. When she heard the door close, she turned over, made her bed, and got up.
Today is Monday. The two children have to go to kindergarten at eight o'clock. After washing up, she went into the kitchen, took out flour, added some water and kneaded the dough. After kneading it into a ball, she let it rest. While waiting, she prepared the filling for the buns. The meat from yesterday was all gone, so she couldn't make meat buns, but vegetable buns would be good too.
After preparing enough filling, I rolled out the dough. With a series of smooth and efficient steps, I made a dozen or so thin-skinned and generously filled buns.
Inside the guest room, a ray of sunlight shone on Li Yuanyuan's face, the burning sensation forcing her to open her eyes, and the fragrance she smelled awakened the roundworms in her stomach.
Clutching her stomach, she was so hungry!
Suddenly, the older brother uttered a muttered phrase, "The steamed buns smell so good," while making smacking noises with his mouth.
"Brother, brother..."
The older brother's actions amused Li Yuanyuan, who shook him awake.
Li Cheng'an woke up from his dream and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" Drooling dripped from the corner of his mouth as he realized he had just been dreaming.
"Brother, it smells good, I'm hungry." He swallowed hard as he spoke.
He stuck out his nose and sniffed hard, smelling the aroma of steamed buns. Was he dreaming? Was someone really making steamed buns? Following the scent, he hurriedly pulled his sister and ran outside.
Just then, Su Jingjing brought out a plate of plump, white steamed buns. Seeing the siblings' embarrassment, she smiled and said, "Go to the bathroom to wash up and have breakfast right away."
The two children stared intently at the steamed buns in her hand, but she didn't seem to care. She turned and went back into the kitchen, while Li Cheng'an pulled his younger sister and ran quickly towards the bathroom.
When she came out, the two children were already standing on the dining table, eagerly waiting. Su Jingjing couldn't help but wonder, "Did you wash up so quickly?"
The next second I remembered that the two kids didn't have toothpaste or toothbrushes, so I went in to wash my face. How could I not be quick?
"An'an, you have to go to school later. You take your sister to eat the buns first."
The children were eager to go to school, so they didn't let them wait for Li Hanting to finish his morning practice.
Su Jingjing packed three buns into two bags. She made extra today specifically for Sister Qiu Rong and He Zhaodi.
In the entire compound, only these two people didn't look down on the original owner.
