Sitting to the side, Li Hanting said sternly, "An'an, be good."
His voice was extremely cold, and Li Cheng'an dared not argue back forcefully, but he still felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Li Yuanyuan held her mother's hand and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Mom, Yuanyuan wants to learn how to brush her teeth."
She wanted her mother to be happy so that she wouldn't go back to how she was before.
"Okay, Mom will teach you."
Su Jingjing took her toothbrush and toothpaste into the bathroom, only to realize that she hadn't bought a mouthwash cup. Adults could manage without a cup to brush their teeth, but it was impossible for children.
"Yuanyuan, do you have any more cups at home?"
The little guy looked confused, clearly not understanding any of this.
By the way, she can ask Li Hanting.
Without further ado, seeing the man still sitting there so seriously, Su Jingjing mustered her courage and asked, "Um... do you have any more cups at home?"
He then explained further, "I forgot to buy a mouthwash cup."
Li Hanting stood up and walked to the second shelf of the cabinet in the corner of the living room. There were several cups inside, all of them enamel cups, which did have a vintage feel.
I almost forgot, in the 1980s, the military would distribute cups during holidays.
Su Jingjing took the cup and led Yuanyuan inside to brush her teeth. The little one's wrist strength wasn't enough, so she only brushed her teeth lightly. It seems that Su Jingjing will have to assist her during this period.
Children should be praised often, such as, "Great job! Remember to rinse your mouth after eating next time."
Li Yuanyuan nodded. Her mother had been so gentle these past two days, and she was determined to be a good girl.
Li Cheng'an, sitting in the living room, felt restless as he listened to the sounds coming from the bathroom. He suddenly wanted to learn how to brush his teeth too.
You were really being rude just now; why did you refuse so decisively?
"What, you want her to teach you how to brush your teeth?"
Li Hanting saw through his son's little scheme at a glance.
"No...no, I don't want her to teach me."
Li Cheng'an looked away, his face flushed and his neck thick with anger, and vehemently denied it.
He didn't realize that a sense of tension welled up inside him as he asked the question, "Dad, will you still divorce her?"
Li Hanting was slightly taken aback; the anger in his heart seemed to have been worn down over the past two days.
I haven't thought about divorce again.
"If she can continue like this, Dad won't get a divorce."
He was shocked when Su Jingjing took out the toothpaste. He realized that he wasn't a very good father and hadn't taken good care of his two children.
Li Cheng'an felt a sense of relief, but he was still worried for his mother and hoped that she could keep it up.
After the mother and daughter came out, it was the father and son's turn. "Come on, Dad will teach you how to brush your teeth."
It's so hot now, I can't sleep at all if I don't take a shower.
An'an is quite mischievous, always jumping around, so washing his hair is necessary. Anyway, his hair is short, so it dries quickly.
Yuanyuan is relatively quiet and keeps her hair clean and fresh by washing it only once every two days.
The brat is now being trained by Li Hanting to take a bath by himself, but he either gets his clothes wet or doesn't dry himself properly. However, he is finally able to take a complete bath.
Su Jingjing was giving Yuanyuan a bath. The little one was very well-behaved, sitting in the bathtub like a little glutinous rice ball. I really wanted to give her a big kiss.
After two days of continuous wiping, the old wounds on the little guy's body have gradually faded, and his fair and tender skin has returned. It would be even better if he gained a little more weight.
After the two children finished bathing, she was also a little wet. Although the weather was not enough to cause a cold, the dampness made her feel uncomfortable. Su Jingjing took some clothes from the closet and went in to take a bath.
The two siblings were playing in the room when Li Cheng'an suddenly remembered what had just happened. "Yuanyuan, why did you call her 'Mom' just now? Aren't you afraid she'll turn back into the way she was before?"
Li Yuanyuan was fiddling with the hair ties. There were butterfly hair ties, bear hair ties, and rabbit hair ties. She didn't want her brother to touch any of them, afraid that he would break them with his brute force.
"Brother, Yuanyuan thinks Mom has become a better person."
"Adults are prone to lying to children, so don't trust her too much."
His younger sister just stared with her big, blinking eyes. Li Cheng'an told himself that he had to stay vigilant at all times, protect his sister, and not be tempted by bullets or cannonballs.
Su Jingjing took a little longer to shower, about half an hour. She thought no one was in the living room, so she walked out while drying her hair.
Su Jingjing glanced at a pair of men's feet on the opposite floor and looked up in surprise, her eyes meeting the man's. The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Oh no! She thought no one was in the living room, so she dressed casually, and now all her flabby flesh is showing. It's so embarrassing!
"Um... you want to take a shower, right?"
Men usually stay in their rooms until late before coming out, so why is he acting so strangely today?
Su Jingjing's eyelashes trembled as she suppressed her fear.
Will she be found out?
Li Hanting's expression remained calm, but in reality, a sudden surge of restlessness welled up inside him.
The woman, who had just finished bathing, exuded a fragrance even in her simple clothes. Her long, wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her fair face was dotted with water droplets, making her look as elegant and refined as a lotus emerging from the water.
"Li Hanting, what's wrong?"
Li Hanting coughed lightly, forcing himself to look away, and took out three ten-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them over.
“You bought a lot of things for the two children today, so you must be out of money. Here’s thirty yuan, take it first.”
Since she bought it for her two children, she must have bought quite a lot for herself as well.
Su Jingjing clutched the towel to her chest, staring at the three gleaming ten-yuan bills, "I..."
She was about to say she had no money, but then she thought, who would complain about having too much money? She had indeed spent a lot on groceries and cooking these past two days. It was the man's responsibility to support the family, so she felt it was only right that she take the money.
Su Jingjing grabbed it, said, "I won't spend it recklessly," and then slipped back to her room.
Her every move was just like Yuanyuan's, and Li Hanting didn't notice the slight curve of his lips.
"Dad, what are you doing standing here?"
Li Cheng'an came out to pour water for his sister, but saw his father grinning foolishly. He didn't dare to ask him directly.
Li Hanting made a quick attempt to cover up his embarrassment, then poured water for his son and handed it to him, saying, "It's nothing, hurry up and go to sleep with your sister."
"Oh, oh, oh."
Holding his water glass, Li Cheng'an dared not question his father, even if he didn't believe him, and could only obediently return to his room.
In the master bedroom, Su Jingjing stared blankly at the three large banknotes, feeling increasingly sorry for the original owner. Such a good man, yet she didn't cherish him and insisted on going out and getting involved with this guy named Wang Hui. She didn't know how to deal with this man outside. Should she hide and avoid him? But that didn't seem practical. Wang Hui knew the address of the military region, and if things got out of hand, it would only make things worse.
Original owner, you really know how to leave me with a mess.
After careful consideration, Su Jingjing realized that if she could be a good wife and mother, Li Hanting's career would only go further, and her two children would also have a bright future. She would definitely be a winner.
But since the man has already filed for divorce, her ideas are no longer realistic.
When the time is right, she will naturally agree to the divorce, but I'm afraid she won't be able to bear to part with her two children.
