Chapter 52 I Have Something Good to Show You

After sending 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 large scissors she used at home to cut all the children's hair into short sections, and then washed them, which also saved soap.

In this way, the thin and transparent soap was completely used up after washing the children.

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

After all this work, 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 neat and tidy, and it would save her from heat rash in this hot summer.

"Da Ya, hammer out all your quilts and mattresses 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.

After Zheng Xinyue gave instructions to the children, she went into the house and took 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 was no watch at home, so Zheng Xinyue could only judge the time based on the position of the sun. It should be ten o'clock now, and the morning 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 hung with children's clothes, and the walls on both sides 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 could smell 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. It 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 silently. This child had changed too much. It was impossible for the former 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 wives, Li Xiuqin, and Li Xiuli looked confused. What did they say? I didn’t even react from the shock! Sister-in-law does 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, otherwise 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 was 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 on, I have something good for you to see."
