Before returning to the bedroom, take the dried sheets back with you.
"Mom, where have you been? Why didn't you come back? I've been waiting for you for so long that I'm getting hungry."
Niu Niu looked at her mother who came into the room and ran over to hug her thighs.
"I was cleaning the house, washing clothes, and chopping wood, but you, a little kid, went out to play somewhere. You don't care about me at all."
After hearing this, Niuniu looked embarrassed and rubbed her mother's thigh shyly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I will help you with the housework at home starting tomorrow"
Su Xia looked at the little kid, who was so thin and small that he was not even as tall as the stool.
"Come and wash your hands and eat. After that, we'll take a shower. What can a little thing like you do? When you grow up, I'll let you do it."
Niuniu was not angry. After washing her hands, she went to the kang to wait for dinner.
Su Xia took out the remaining bowl of porridge from the kitchen, added some water to the thermos (bought by Chen Jianguo when they got married) to heat it up. It was not cold, so they could eat it directly.
I had a cup of hot water, a sweet potato and a steamed bun for myself, a bowl of porridge for the little girl, and a Chinese bun with half a steamed bun left.
Looking at Niu Niu eating with a fierce look on her face.
Improve slowly!
"Niuniu, go out to the yard and play with your sisters for a while. Mommy will put on the quilt."
In fact, he wanted to get her out of the way and create a new one in the space.
Niuniu disagreed, "Mom, I told you I'll work with you starting tomorrow."
“Didn’t you say it would start tomorrow? Today doesn’t count as going out, right? If someone asks what we want to eat, what should we say?
Niuniu rolled her eyes and said, "Wild vegetable soup."
"That's right. Go ahead. I'll pick you up after I've packed everything."
Su Xia first took out the kang leather of the same size from the space and spread it on the kang. Then she took out a mattress of the same size and spread it on it. She cut the original bed sheet and spread it on the mattress. Now it was almost the same as before.
It's a bit cold in the morning and evening now, and the kang hasn't been heated yet. I took out a 2-meter-high bed that is 2.4 meters tall. It is enough for Niuniu. I put it in the space first, and take it out after washing and drying it in two days.
Children are easy to be deceived, and it will be difficult to deal with if the "ATM" suddenly attacks.
It has to be done in advance while there is time.
I took out a gray quilt cover and replaced the pillows with buckwheat husks from the space, one large and one small. I will take out the pillowcases when I go to the site tomorrow, and wash the old ones first.
I checked the original items, two sets for summer, two sets for spring and autumn, and one set for winter. All of them were patched, one pair of shoes and one pair of cotton shoes.
Niuniu has even less, two sets of shoes for summer and one set for winter, and her cotton-padded shoes are too small.
I didn't see this ATM, which shows how long this man has not been back.
I will find a chance to go to the county town and buy more of these slowly later.
Then he took out the small box from the kang cabinet and opened it. It was full of banknotes he had saved, and there was quite a lot of them.
Su Xia reorganized it. Chen Jianguo remitted 35 yuan a month. The family did not split up when she was pregnant. She kept 15 yuan for herself and gave the remaining money to Chen's mother. She didn't spend much that year and saved 185 yuan.
After the family split up, Chen's mother took 5 yuan every month for her retirement. In the first year, he was able to buy food, but in the past two years, he has not been able to buy it. It turns out that he was able to save a lot. He had 925 yuan in cash. At that time, most families had an annual income of several dozen yuan. This amount of money would definitely cause a sensation if taken out.
The food coupons are for 10 jin nationwide and 5 jin in local areas. These were sent by Chen Jianguo two months ago. I had used them all before that.
There were 2 jin of meat coupons, some cloth coupons, cotton coupons, and even fewer sugar coupons left.
These tickets can't get much praise from just one ATM. Put the bills in order and put them back.
Su Xia took out a pen and paper from her space and recorded what she was going to buy tomorrow.
After finishing, I looked at my watch and it was already eight o'clock.
Su Xia hurried to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.
Old Chen's family all went to bed early, one reason was because they were tired from the busy farming season, and the other was that they wanted to go to bed early to save energy.
My daughter is counting ants in the yard alone, and she is quite obedient.
"Niuniu, go into the house first and wait for mom to boil water and take a bath before you get on the kang." She must not dirty her new bedding.
While Su Xia was lighting a fire, she was thinking about building a small kitchen stove on the east side of her house connected to the kang in the bedroom. This would be much more convenient and would allow her and her daughter to have extra meals.
I will go to the county town tomorrow and send a telegram to the "ATM" to let the man think of a way.
Chen Jianguo: "..."
Carrying a bucket of warm water, Su Xia went to the bathroom, took out a large basin, a kerosene lamp, shower gel, and shampoo from the space, scrubbed her hair thoroughly, changed the water twice, cleaned her body, put on clean clothes, put the rest into the space, and went to the bedroom with a bucket of water.
꺗Refill the basin with water and test the water temperature.
"Niuniu, take off all your clothes and come over to take a shower."
Let the naked child sit in the big basin, Su Xia took the towel and washed the child inside and out vigorously. Finally, she took out the child's bath, secretly squeezed some in the palm of her hand, and washed the hair, face, and body. After washing it clean, she wrapped it with a towel and put it in the quilt.
After pouring out the dirty water, Su Xia went to bed, smelling the scent of detergent and rubbing the quilt, feeling relaxed. This is how life is.
"Mom, this quilt smells so good," Niu Niu smelled it with an intoxicated look on her face.
"I, your mother, have worked so hard to wash you, how can it not smell good? Remember me, okay?"
"Yeah... Mom, Niuniu will remember it," the child said seriously.
Forget it, just don’t be an ungrateful person in the future.
After the mother and daughter's hair is dry, I will change Niu Niu into a small vest and shorts and wash her little face. I foresee that she will be a beauty in the future, but now she looks like a monkey, and her face will gradually become sallow. I will take care of her slowly.
The mother and daughter slept very soundly.
