There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 52 I have something good for you

Sent away the candy-like Chen Shuli, Zheng Xinyue ordered Daya to close the door, scoop hot water into a large wooden basin, and wash the hair and bathe the five children one by one.

In order to completely get rid of the lice, she used the scissors she used at home to cut all the children's hair into short sections, and then washed them to save soap.

 Just like this, the thin transparent soap was completely used up after washing the children.

 She threw the children's dirty clothes into a large tub and boiled them with boiling water to kill the lice eggs.

At the end of this busy period, the children were all clean and smelled of soap and sunshine.

Daya and Erya were in tears, but they didn’t dare to cry. The little girl was protecting her hair.

 “Don’t be sad, your hair will grow back later.”

Zheng Xinyue rubbed the little girl's head. She felt that it was a disadvantage to have no hair, but it was clean and neat, and it would avoid heat rash in this summer.

“Da Ya, take out all your quilts and mattresses with a hammer and let them bask in the sun to drive away the lice.”

This is a game with lice. Most of these parasites are caused by poor hygiene and moisture. Bedding should be aired frequently, clothes should be changed frequently, and frequent bathing can be completely eliminated.

Zheng Xinyue finished instructing the children and went into the house to take out her parents' bedding. The two clotheslines in the yard were full, and there were still walls on both sides that could be built.

 “Okay, let’s start cooking!”

There is no watch at home, so Zheng Xinyue can only judge the time based on the position of the sun. It should be ten o'clock now, and the morning has passed so quickly.

She didn’t go to the fields, so let’s cook some food for the family!

 When Zheng Dakui and Gao Guilan returned home with their sons and daughters-in-law, they were shocked by the scene in the courtyard.

 A clothesline was covered with children’s clothes, and the walls on both sides of the yard and another clothesline were covered with quilts.

“Xinyue, why are you working?”

Gao Guilan was so distressed that she ran into the house. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the tangy aroma of meat. Her daughter was in the kitchen picking up steamed buns from the pot!

“Dad, Mom, are you back?”

Zheng Xinyue’s busy little face was red. The bun was too hot. She picked it up and blew on her fingers. When she saw her family members coming back, she shouted with a smile.

Zheng Dakui looked at his daughter in silence. This child had changed too much. It was impossible for Xinyue to cook for them.

 His Adam's apple rolled a few times, his eyes felt a little swollen, and he looked at his daughter with distress in his eyes.

"Did you force my daughter? Xinyue is so pitiful, why can't you tolerate her?"

Gao Guilan turned around with red eyes and scolded her two daughters-in-law. Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli looked confused. What did they say? I didn’t even react from the shock! Sister-in-law doing housework? The sun rises from the west?

“Mom, it’s because I feel so idle and you don’t let me go to the fields, so I look for work.”

Zheng Xinyue hurriedly grabbed her mother. If she didn't pull her, she would have beaten her sister-in-law.

"No, you must have heard this woman clamoring to split up the family last night, so she worked hard for fear of being kicked out."

Gao Guilan stared at Li Xiuqin as if she wanted to eat someone.

“Mom, how can we not tolerate our little sister?”

Li Xiuqin is about to cry, she was so moved just now! This time I complained a little bit about my sister-in-law, what kind of work is she doing? Let them all be scolded.

 “Mom, you really wronged my sister-in-law.”

Zheng Xinyue didn’t expect that her work would cause so much trouble to her sister-in-law? Coaxing Gao Guilan to push her into his room.

 “Mom, come quickly, I have something good for you to see.”
