Seeing that Zhao Qinglan was really gone, Da Wa slandered her in his heart, hum, he knew that this woman was hypocritical, so he sat down again and prepared to wash himself.
Li Huai picked up his son. "What do you want to wash? Leave it alone. I'll wash it."
After driving his son away, Li Huai sat there and started washing.
In the past few years, Zhu Kexin has not paid much attention to her two sons. From washing changing pads when they were young to washing sheets and mattresses later, he has done less.
The eldest child didn't even enter the house, so he sat next to his father and watched him work.
Hearing the noise outside, Zhao Qinglan did not come out this time.
She didn't think there was anything the eldest man couldn't do around the house, and Li Huai was doing very well.
She had done everything in her previous life, and Wang Dazhi was just a hands-off shopkeeper every day. Everything was ready-made, but he never thought of her.
Smelling the delicious smell of rice, Erwa, who was hiding there playing with glass balls, couldn't help it. "What are you doing?"
Zhao Qinglan ignored him.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Who are you talking to?" Zhao Qinglan said without turning around.
"With you." Erwa replied.
"who I am?"
"You." Erwa shut up.
"Do you want to eat the food I cooked?"
"I think." Erwa nodded.
Xiaoduo came out rubbing her eyes. "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Hey, the meal is almost ready. Go and wash your hands in the basin. There is hot water in the thermos. Add some hot water and wash your hands again."
Xiaoduo obediently walked to the basin stand.
Zhao Qinglan then continued: "Did you hear what I was called?"
"You are her mother, not mine." Erwa said smartly.
"Then why do you want to eat the food I cooked?" Zhao Qinglan asked.
Erwa was speechless and her little face wrinkled.
What should I do? This woman won't really let him starve without eating, but he really wants to eat.
Li Huai was used to working quite neatly. When he finished washing the mattress and entered the room, Zhao Qinglan also put the meal on the table.
The eldest child didn't want to come in yet, but her father called her, so she had no choice but to come in.
"Let's all sit down and eat." Zhao Qinglan placed the chopsticks in front of each of them one by one.
Xiaoduo had already been sitting on the small bench waiting.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan didn't say not to eat, Erwa hurriedly sat down.
"We don't have much food at home, so let's make do with this meal. By the way, where are the non-staple food items? I have time to buy something."
"I think it's pretty good. I'll bring you the side dishes later." Li Huai picked up the chopsticks.
The eldest child didn't want to eat the meal that Zhao Qinglan was sitting on, but his stomach was not up to par. Seeing that his younger brother had already started eating, he also broke into pieces.
It's all made by his family, so why shouldn't he eat it? If he doesn't eat, it won't be an advantage for this woman and that bastard. He must eat, and he must eat a lot.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wowotou and took a vicious bite.
Seeing that all the children were enjoying the food, Li Huai felt relieved.
This dish tastes really good. It feels almost as good as a state-owned restaurant. Li Huai felt emotional while eating the dish.
I didn't expect her craftsmanship to be so good, so the Wang family is so blessed that they don't know how to be blessed.
When the food tastes good, the eldest child and his younger brother use chopsticks faster and faster.
In fact, the ingredients were limited, so Zhao Qinglan didn't really do much, just fried shredded radish and stewed cabbage.
There is no way, there is no other vegetables at home. When the weather gets cold, the table in every household is very monotonous, either cabbage or radish.
While cooking, she felt a little nostalgic for the greenhouse vegetables of later generations and the variety of vegetable markets and supermarkets. Unfortunately, the current environment was like this. If she wanted to improve her home, she had to find another way.
After finishing the meal, Erwa's evaluation of Zhao Qinglan was even higher, and she even wanted to go out and show off to other children.
Li Huai kept his word and took out the supplementary food book after finishing the meal.
"Just buy whatever you need at home."
Zhao Qinglan nodded and asked: "How often will you pay the allowance every month?"
"On the 15th, if the money is not enough, just tell me."
"No, I'm just asking. The main thing is to consider oil, meat, and things like that. Knowing how long you can give me subsidies, I know how long I can last."
Nowadays, everything is allocated on a per-capita basis. Even if she wants her children to eat well, she is too clever to make a meal without rice. It seems that she can only find a solution elsewhere.
The reason why today's food is delicious is not only because of her good cooking skills, but also because she is willing to add oil and seasonings.
Even if it is just simple oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, everyone can save a lot of money when cooking on weekdays, especially oil.
It’s not okay if you don’t save it. There’s only such a portion every month. If you finish it early, how will you spend the rest of the day?
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan knew what was going on, Li Huai felt relieved.
"If there's anything you still don't understand, just tell me. If I'm not here, I'll go next door and ask my sister-in-law."
"Well, how about making a single bed for your home? Or a ready-made bed is fine." Zhao Qinglan said.
"Oh, yes, there should be one at the logistics office. I'll go over and tell you."
The three of them slept on a 1.5-meter double bed last night, which was not spacious. If he hadn't been too tired and fell asleep early last night, he wouldn't have known how he would have tossed and turned because of the sudden appearance of an extra woman next to him.
In fact, Zhao Qinglan also said this because she was thinking that her daughter was growing up day by day and it would be hard to share a bed with her and Li Huai all the time.
Seeing that Li Huai was gone, Zhao Qinglan stepped on the basket, took the grocery book and some money receipts and went to the next door, with Xiao Duo following behind.
"Hey, Qinglan is here, come in, come in." Wu Mei stood up immediately.
"No, sister-in-law, I just want to ask you, I want to go to the grocery store to buy something, will you go?"
"There are almost no eggs at home. Wait for me to go with you."
In fact, Wu Mei only said this deliberately because she was afraid that Zhao Qinglan would not be able to find the non-staple food store. She couldn't eat eggs at home many times in a month, so how could she buy them immediately when they were almost gone?
The two left together with a child.
Li Huai has been away for several days, and when he came back, he brought a strange woman back. Yesterday, word spread in the family area, and everyone knew that he had remarried.
I don’t know how many people were discussing her new look at the dinner table last night, and some people were comparing her to the previous Zhu Kexin.
The moment Zhao Qinglan came out, she attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone knows Wu Mei and will naturally say hello when they meet her. Wu Mei will also introduce Zhao Qinglan and each other to each other.
By the time they reached the grocery store, Zhao Qinglan already knew many family members.
The non-staple food store was specially opened for the convenience of the troops and their families. It contains the commonly used non-staple food and groceries. If you want other clothing, you have to go to the city to buy it.
Seeing such a strange face like Zhao Qinglan, the staff at the grocery store also became curious. When they found out that she was Li Huai's current wife, the staff were quite polite to her.
But as soon as she left, I started discussing it with my colleagues.
"Deputy Captain Li is very lucky. Each of his wives is prettier than the last."
"Humph, what's the point of looking good? What matters is that you can live a long life. The one in front of you has already run away."
"That's true, but this one looks more pleasing to the eye than the previous one, and it's quite polite. That one's eyes are so long."
As soon as Zhao Qinglan left, the eldest son of the family took his younger brother into a conspiracy.
"Er baby, do you still remember what my brother said to you? You must never surrender to that woman."
"Brother, her cooking is so delicious." Erwa licked his mouth and was still not satisfied.
"You just know how to eat, and there is no future." Da Wa hates that iron cannot become steel.
"You also eat deliciously." Erwa pursed her lips in frustration.
