"Milk powder, egg cake."
What?
No cooking?
No stir-fried dishes?
Milk powder?
Egg cake?
"Grandma, the egg cake is so delicious, I'm full," Xiao Bao said, patting his little stomach, satisfied and no longer hungry.
"That's good. If your mom doesn't cook for you, come to grandma's house."
Mrs. Zhao didn't dare to stay long, fearing her daughter-in-law would cause trouble. She still had to go to the homestead to get busy.
"Okay." Da Bao didn't say that their cousins told them to come over less, otherwise they would get beaten again.
"Grandma is leaving."
When Educated Youth Yun wanted to marry her youngest son, she was reluctant, but he was so obstinate, roaming around all day and difficult to pin down.
And her youngest son also insisted on marrying her.
In the kitchen, after Yun Xiaoxiao boiled the water, filled a bottle with it, then began heating more water, planning to bathe and wash the hair of the two young ones who dirtied to her displeasure.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, come here for your bath."
The two children sent Mrs. Zhao away and were trying to sneak out to play when suddenly they heard their mother calling them for a bath. They didn't go over for a long time.
"We're not dirty." While claiming they weren't dirty, Da Bao looked at his own little hands and then at his brother's little hands and face. His eyes flickered a few times. They were very dirty.
"Hurry up," Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her voice.
Her words struck fear into the two children's hearts. Xiao Bao clung tightly to Da Bao's clothes, his little face full of terror.
"Brother..."
"Together."
Yun Xiaoxiao had already prepared the water in the bucket, added more cold water to the big pot, and threw in another handful of firewood.
Carrying a water bucket and a large basin for bathing, she arrived in the courtyard, "Hurry up and get into the bath."
Yun Xiaoxiao poured the temperate water she had mixed into the basin and turned to grab the soap. However, she couldn't find the soap, clothes, or the towel.
It seemed like she hadn't seen them anywhere.
Having no choice but to search for them, she didn't find their clothes until after rummaging around for quite a while.
"Here are the soap and towel. Can you wash yourselves?"
Da Bao quickly nodded. He was already sitting in the basin, starting to bathe himself.
Seeing that the children might not wash thoroughly, Yun Xiaoxiao walked over to help them but was stunned to see the bruises and stripes from bamboo-stick beatings on the children's backs and buttocks. As she approached, both children tensed up, their faces wary of her.
Yun Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded by these marks.
Although the children were mischievous, these marks seemed to have been made in the last few days.
Were they inflicted by the female supporting character?
No wonder the children looked so frightened of her, afraid of being beaten and scolded by the female supporting character once the male lead left.
After they had finished bathing, the children looked a lot cleaner but were still too thin. The ribs on their stomachs and backs were too prominent.
"These are new clothes I made for you, and these are your shoes."
But they were all clothes and shoes from the eighties.
The children felt even stranger. Had their mother, since waking up that day, really given them tasty food, bathed them, and dressed them in new clothes?
Were they truly about to leave?
"These are rubber shoes, wear them in rotation. What do you want to eat tonight?"
She wouldn't even know how to make a children's meal, right?
"Mom, I want to eat meat," said Xiao Bao timidly, not daring to look at Yun Xiaoxiao, fearing his mother might hit them. His emboldened words today were possible only after witnessing his mother's actions that afternoon.
