The next day, Su Li slept until noon before waking up. After opening her eyes, she took a moment to adjust herself. Then she looked at the kids next to her. Except for the cute Baoya, the other boys were sleeping in a sprawling state.
Su Li smiled and shook her head.
I got up quietly and covered the children with blankets.
Su Li walked to the kitchen, closed the door, said "come in", and instantly entered the space. The wounds on her body were still aching, especially her neck and forehead. Su Li hurried to the well in the courtyard of the space and filled a cup of spiritual spring water.
She felt comfortable all over, and the pain in her body and forehead was gone. Su Li took out gauze, iodine and medicine, and changed the gauze on her forehead. In fact, she felt that the wound on her forehead was much smaller.
As expected! Anything produced by Space must be of high quality.
She was too tired yesterday, so she simply washed up and rested. At the moment, she was fine, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower and go to the toilet. The toilets of this era were just a pit with two simple wooden boards on top. It was okay in winter, but Su Lijian couldn't imagine if it was summer, her butt would be full of mosquito bites.
After a simple skin care, Su Li walked out of the space after tidying up. She looked at the weather and thought the children would probably wake up soon.
Su Li boiled a pot of hot water so that she could wash the children later. She wanted to keep it simple in the morning. Su Li took out eight large meat buns from Henan from the space. It must be said that as Zhongzhou is a major grain-producing province, the large meat buns were very generous in both size and fillings. She also took out the Guangzhou casserole pumpkin and millet health-preserving porridge.
There were no cups at home, so she could only use bowls to make four bowls of milk powder for the four children. She also made a portion of instant bird's nest with milk herself.
From today on, she had to take good care of the four cubs. As soon as she was ready, the four cubs got up.
Unable to react for a moment, Hu Zi put on his clothes first, slipped on his shoes and ran to the yard to find Su Li.
I was relieved to see Su Li, thinking that my mother had gone out for a stroll early in the morning as usual.
Su Li was holding the wash basin and looking at Hu Zi's cute and silly look, which was very funny. She pulled his little cheek and said, "Wake up, son. Mommy has prepared breakfast. Wash your face and brush your teeth. Mommy has prepared toothbrushes and towels for you."
Hu Zi grinned at Su Li and followed Su Li to the water well.
Su Li taught him how to brush his teeth and asked him to wash his face with facial soap. When she led Hu Zi into the house, Tiedan was dressing Shitou and Baoya.
Su Li looked at Tiedan's understanding look, hey! Children from poor families have to take care of their younger brothers and sisters at an early age. Such a young child knows how to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. Such a child is so lovable.
After applying the cold cream on Huzi, his dark little face became smooth. After the other three children finished washing, Su Li applied the cold cream on them as well. Tiedan was reluctant at first, as he thought that such a precious thing should be left for his mother and younger brothers and sisters. Su Li touched his little face and said that it would not be easy to get frostbite in winter after applying it, and there was more at home, so everyone had to apply it every day. Only then did he raise his little face and let Su Li do whatever she wanted on his face.
The children were particularly satisfied with the breakfast. The soft and juicy buns, paired with the rich and fragrant porridge, were really comfortable on the slightly cold morning.
When drinking milk, everyone except Huzi took small sips. Huzi drank quickly and wanted more.
Su Li didn't say anything, he just looked at his brother, younger brother and sister.
Tiedan looked at Huzi's eager eyes and pushed his bowl towards him. Huzi glanced at Su Liyou and pushed his bowl back.
"Brother, you drink. I'm not greedy."
Su Li let Tiedan drink it himself and told them that it would be available every morning from now on.
After dinner, Tiedan wanted to help wash the dishes, but Su Li refused. She couldn't enslave a 5-year-old child.
The children were a little scared when they saw that Su Li really didn't let them work. They ate so well, and they would feel uneasy if they didn't do some work. Su Li looked at them wandering around the kitchen door and smiled.
"Let's go out and play with your friends! Mom will pack up and go to the city to buy some cloth for you to make clothes. Let's buy some daily necessities."
Shitou: "Mom, are you going to spend money recklessly again?"
After Shi Tou finished speaking, Tiedan suddenly covered Shi Tou's mouth with his hand, and then looked at Su Li nervously. Bao Ya was so scared that she hid behind Tiedan. Then Hu Zi looked at Su Li with his head held high.
Maybe it was because Su Li had been so easy to talk to since last night, which made him relax, but he was still a little nervous.
Su Li shook the water off her hands and sighed. The children's defenses were still not completely open. They were timid and sensitive.
They were too insecure and had an instinctive guard against and fear of the original owner. If she had not traveled through time, they might need a lifetime to heal this shadow. But now that she was here, she would work hard to eliminate their inner fears. No matter what, now she just wanted to give them a happy childhood. Even if they would occasionally think of the hurt they suffered in their childhood, Su Li also hoped that they would taste more sweetness in their lives.
Su Li squatted down, looked them in the eye, grabbed Shitou and Tiedan's hands and said, "My dears, what mom said yesterday was true. Mom will work hard to make your life better. Look at the beef noodles last night and the big meat buns this morning. Don't you think they are delicious? Hasn't mom made changes?"
A few little kids stared at Su Li, then looked at each other and nodded.
Su Li continued, "Look, winter is coming soon, and the weather is getting colder. The clothes you are wearing are too thin, and you will freeze in winter. You can't wear your old clothes anymore. Mom wants to make some new clothes and new shoes for you." She touched Baoya's head again, "I don't have a decent piece of clothing yet, Baoya, you always pick up other people's clothes to wear. I will let you wear new clothes today, okay?"
Baoya looked at Su Li "Mom" with tears in her eyes and sobs.
Baoya's mother passed away when she was born. Her grandparents raised her until she was three years old but also passed away. She has never felt the love of a mother. When she nestled in Su Li's arms yesterday, she felt extremely happy. That was the scent of her mother, which she had smelled in her dreams.
Su Li reached out and held Bao Ya in her arms. Bao Ya put her arms around Su Li's neck, buried her head in Su Li's shoulder, and cried silently.
Tiedan felt distressed when he saw his sister lying in Su Li's arms. After all, she was just a child and couldn't control her emotions.
Shitou pouted, he also wanted his mother to hug him.
Su Li patted Baoya's back and looked at the children with tears in their eyes.
"How about this! Why don't we go to town together? Mom can buy things and you can help her get them, okay?"
The little ones all nodded in unison. After the mother and her children packed up, Su Li carried the backpack and held Baoya in her arms, ready to go out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Xie's mother wandering around the door with a chicken in her arms.
The children were very close to Mother Xie, "Grandma, why are you here? Why don't you go to bed?"
"Yes! Grandma, we are having big buns today."
Su Li put Baoya down and said, "Mom, why don't you come into the house now that you are here?"
Mother Xie looked at the gauze on Su Li's forehead, her hands trembled, and she was a little afraid to look at Su Li.
"You guys are going out!"
"Yes! Mother, the weather will soon be cold, and the children don't have many decent clothes. I want to buy some cloth to make them winter clothes."
Mother Xie looked at the clothes the children were wearing, then looked at Su Li, thinking that her daughter-in-law had really changed for the better. However, regarding the speed at which Su Li spent money, Mother Xie still felt it necessary to remind her.
"Hey! We should make some thick clothes for the kids, but Huzi's mother! You have to be frugal with Chuan's allowance, because it will be gone in the future. His current pension has not come yet. You should be more diligent in the future and work hard to earn work points tomorrow so that you can support the kids."
As Xie's mother spoke, her eyes gradually turned red. She sniffed and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She stuffed the chicken in her hand into Su Li's hand.
