Lu Haici was so happy when he heard his mother laugh, and continued: "When my aunt took me to the countryside, I saw a big dog chasing a big cock, so a small dog must be more powerful than a small cock."
Lin Qingqing listened and couldn't help but be curious: "Why did your aunt take you to the countryside?" Lu Cheng's aunt's family lived in the county town... But it was strange, how could Lu Cheng be raised by his aunt? Lu Cheng had never told the original owner about this, and the original owner had a vague idea of it. First, her classmates mentioned it to her, and then before they got married, Lu Cheng mentioned it, but he didn't say anything specific.
Lin Qingqing understood why Lu Cheng didn't say anything. If the two were in a normal relationship, they would definitely mention the family affairs. However, Lu Cheng was threatened by the original owner, so he naturally wouldn't think of mentioning the family affairs. But even if Lu Cheng was threatened by the original owner, he didn't vent his anger on the original owner. Whether on the way to the army or after arriving at the family compound, he gave the original owner the dignity and care she deserved.
"My uncle's hometown is in the countryside." Lu Haici said, "But I don't like going to my uncle's hometown."
Lin Qingqing washed his hair and body, then dried him and changed him into clean clothes: "Why don't you like to go to your uncle's hometown?" Fortunately, Lu Haici did have clothes, and the child's clothes were pretty good.
"Because the kids there say I have no father or mother." Lu Haici's tone was lost for a moment, but then he said proudly, "But now I have a father and a mother. When I go back, I will tell them." The kids he was talking about were the relatives from his great uncle's family.
Lin Qingqing felt sad when she heard this. She could understand Lu Haici's feelings at that time because she had experienced it. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing said gently: "Okay, when we go back, we will tell them that our little boy Lu Haici also has a father and a mother." If at the beginning, Lin Qingqing treated him as a child in the kindergarten and herself as a kindergarten teacher, then now, she has more empathy.
Lu Haici smiled immediately: "Yeah."
Lin Qingqing took out a palm-leaf fan from the house, which she had taken out when she was tidying up the room: "Xiao Haici, use the fan to dry your hair, I'm going to take a shower." The child's hair was short, and it was already half dry with the towel. If he blew it with a fan, it would dry faster.
"Hey." Lu Haici likes to respond loudly, which is very energetic.
Lin gently rubbed his hair and went to take a shower with water.
She took a shower very quickly. Although the original owner was lazy, she was still very clean and was diligent in taking a shower and washing her hair. Therefore, Lin Qingqing only took 30 minutes to finish taking a shower and washing her hair. If it were in modern times, using a shower, she would be done in less than ten minutes.
After taking a bath, the two of them blew their hair together with a fan in the yard. Finally, little Lu Haici could not sit still anymore, so he stood behind Lin Qingqing and took the initiative to blow her hair.
Xu Huijuan came out to pour water from the next door and glanced at the Lu family. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but think that Lin Qingqing could no longer pretend and took advantage of Lu Haici to fan her when no one was paying attention. Xu Huijuan shook her head. She was determined to be a good military wife, a good wife, and a good mother in this life. She would not get close to Lin Qingqing again. However, Lu Haici was a poor child after all. You have to know that in his previous life, even if Lu Cheng and Lin Qingqing divorced later, he was still very withdrawn because of the trauma of his childhood.
Thinking of this, Xu Huijuan decided to give Lu Cheng a heads up when he came back. After all, he was an innocent child, and she would help if she could.
When Lin Qingqing's hair was about 70% dry, she went back to her room with Lu Haici. But she didn't go to bed right away. She had to go to the carpenter's house to order some furniture tomorrow, so Lin Qingqing prepared to draw the sample. The original owner, a poor student, didn't have paper and pen, but Lu Haici did. Although he was a kindergarten kid, he still had all the school supplies.
So, Lu Haici lay aside and watched Lin Qingqing paint.
Lin Qingqing didn't draw much, just three things. One was a chest of drawers, which could be used to store clothes. In addition to winter coats and cotton-padded jackets, sweaters, bed sheets, and quilt covers could all be put in. She planned to order three chests of drawers, one for each of her, Lu Haici, and Lu Cheng, and put their own things in their own chests of drawers, which would not only make it easier to find things, but also keep them clean.
The second item is a shoe cabinet. Put it at the entrance of the hall and put slippers on it to prevent the floor from getting dirty due to the constant coming in and out of outdoor shoes.
The third item is a simple double-door wardrobe with quilts placed underneath and coats, cotton-padded jackets and other clothes hung above.
Since she would not leave the Lu family for the time being, she decided to put her life in order first.
While she was drawing, Lu Haici stood quietly by the side. When she finished, Lu Haici's eyelids were fighting, but the child still tried to keep them open. Lin Qingqing smiled and picked him up: "Let's go to bed." Although with the strength of this body, it is not possible to hold a five-year-old child for a long time, but it is still possible to walk from the desk to the **.
the next day
For someone who often stays up late, I went to bed around 9:00 yesterday, which is considered very early. In addition, I slept all day and all night the day before, so I woke up very early today.
Looking at the child curled up in a ball sleeping next to her, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't the child's sleeping posture so cute
Lin Qingqing got up quietly. From the original owner's memory, she knew that the child had not been sleeping well recently. She went to bed later and woke up earlier than the original owner. The night before yesterday, she was even more worried that something might happen to her. She stayed by her bed all night. She knew that when she woke up, the towel on her forehead was still wet. So at this moment, Lin Qingqing didn't want to wake him up.
Lin Qingqing first went to the kitchen to boil water in an iron pot. While boiling the water, she put a bowl on the steamer with two potatoes and two eggs in it. She was going to make mashed potatoes for breakfast. The reason why the potatoes and eggs were not placed directly on the steamer was because the water in the pot would boil, and if it touched the potatoes with skin, the water would become dirty. She kept the water for cooling and drinking during the day.
Then, she washed her face and brushed her teeth. The original owner had been spoiled since she was a child, so she had everything she needed. After washing, she used the original owner's vanishing cream, but she didn't apply too much, just a thin layer.
There are not many ingredients to make mashed potatoes. If it were modern times, Lin Qingqing would like to use potatoes, eggs, cucumbers, carrots, bacon or ham, and salad. But there is no salad in this era. You can make it yourself, but it is troublesome, and there is no bacon and ham at this time, so Lin Qingqing only uses potatoes, eggs, and cucumbers. But these are enough, potatoes are carbon water, eggs are protein and fat, and cucumbers are vitamins.
She first sliced the cucumber into thin slices. However, her knife skills were average, so she had to cut slowly. There was no other way, there were too many modern kitchen gadgets. When she was cooking live, she used kitchen gadgets, or her grandmother cut it. Her grandmother was not used to using kitchen gadgets, but her knife skills were quite impressive.
After slicing the cucumber, she pickled it with salt. Because there was no salad seasoning, she put a little more salt than usual. If there were salad seasoning in modern times, the salt would not be too much.
After the water boiled, the potatoes and eggs were ready. Two potatoes and two eggs, just one for each portion. She peeled the potatoes, cut them into pieces, and put them on a plate. She used a spoon to mash the potatoes, then chopped the boiled eggs and mixed them with the mashed potatoes. After mixing, she squeezed the pickled cucumber slices with her hands to remove the water. After removing the water, the cucumber slices were flat, and then mixed with the mashed potatoes, so that the saltiness of the cucumber slices could be mixed in the mashed potatoes.
Lin Qingqing had just finished making a portion of mashed potatoes when she heard a child shouting in the hall: "Mom...Mom..."
Lin Qingqing: "In the kitchen."
Then, she saw Lu Haici running out barefoot. Because he had just washed his hair yesterday, a few strands of hair were sticking up, looking very cute.
Seeing his mother, Lu Haici heaved a sigh of relief. When he woke up, his mother, who usually waited for him to go to the cafeteria to get breakfast when she was sick, was gone. This scared him, and his mind went blank. He immediately got out of bed to look for her. Now seeing his mother making breakfast, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He just curled his toes and stood at the kitchen door watching.
Seeing this, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but say, "Put on your shoes, then wash up and have breakfast. After breakfast, you have to go to kindergarten." The child hasn't been to kindergarten for half a month because "Mom is sick."
"Hey." Lu Haici responded, but after thinking for a while, he asked hesitantly, "Mom, can I not go to kindergarten?"
Lin Qingqing: "Why not go to kindergarten?" Could it be that the child was bullied in kindergarten? Thinking of the many posts about kindergartens she had read on the Little Black Book APP, Lin Qingqing was a little worried. Lu Haici's biological mother died young, and some rude adults might have mentioned some things in front of the child, and then some naughty children remembered it and used it to hurt Lu Haici unintentionally. After all, she was once a victim of such things.
Lu Haici shook his head, and said sensibly and affectionately: "Mom's illness hasn't recovered yet, I want to stay at home to take care of her." If before yesterday, he was nervous and expectant about Lin Qingqing (the original owner). Then after yesterday, after Lin Qingqing cooked for him, bathed him, and held him to sleep, he was dependent on and admired Lin Qingqing. The mother in his mind is like this, who can cook for children, bathe children, and hold children to sleep.
Lin smiled gently: "I slept well yesterday and I'm already well again, so I don't need our little friend to take care of me. You go to the kindergarten today, and your aunt Qin and I will go shopping. If we buy meat, we'll make you meat buns. If we don't buy meat, we'll make you something else delicious, okay?"
When Lu Haici heard this, his eyes lit up: "Okay."
