Chapter 33
"Yuzhen, are you looking for Manchun?"

Zhu Yuzhen nodded, smiled shyly, and looked towards Manchun's bedroom.
"Auntie, isn't Manchun here?"

Yes, why aren't you here? This girl doesn't know what's going on. In the past, she would disappear early in the morning on weekends or holidays. Now, not only does she not go out, she also sleeps in at home with Manni in her arms.

She let Zhu Yuzhen into the house and went directly to her bedroom without saying anything about drinking or pouring water.

That's right, since the last time the three of them slept in the same bed, these two girls seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du channels and never returned to their own rooms.

Wen Minghua couldn't push her away, so in the end she had to accept her fate and let Yang Manchun carry her own quilt over.

Now, the three of them have been sleeping in the same bed for almost half a month. Wen Minghua has gone from being unaccustomed to it to now feeling okay. Now in winter, at least she has a bed warmer for herself.

Wake up Yang Manchun who is sleeping soundly:
"Yuzhen is here to find you. Get up quickly."

After calling Yang Manchun, she saw Manni also waking up rubbing her eyes. She slapped Yang Manchun's buttocks, which were covered with a thin quilt:

"Hurry up, didn't you wake up Manni?"

"..."

She wasn't the one who woke up Manni, so why hit her again?
Yang Manchun was speechless. If this was her stepmother, she would definitely not just roll her eyes at her.

Zhu Yuzhen in the living room watched Yang Manchun yawning as he came out of Wen Minghua's room with surprise on his face and thought to himself:
Aunt Minghua is really used to Manchun, a 20-year-old girl who still shares the same bed with her mother.

She smiled at Yang Manchun:

"It's almost nine o'clock?"

She thought she had gotten up early, but she never expected that she was still in bed.

Yang Manchun yawned again, walked to Zhu Yuzhen and sat down:
"I slept late last night. Why are you here?"

While she was talking, she looked up at her brother and younger brother's room. They must have gone out?

"Where's my brother?"

Thinking in his mind, Yang Manchun asked Wen Minghua who was moving the corner cabinet in the living room to clean the back.

Wen Minghua didn’t even raise her head:
"Don't you look at what time it is now? Your brother and the others have gone to your aunt's house."

This girl is also lucky. With her mother, she can sleep until nine o'clock without getting up without being scolded. How about trying another mother?

Wen Minghua sighed inwardly. She also wanted to be like in modern times, sleeping until she wakes up naturally in the morning on weekends or when she has nothing to do. However, this body has become accustomed to it, and she wakes up around 05:30 in the morning, which makes her sleepless. Can't sleep.

That's not all. If I really have to lie down for a while, my whole body will feel uncomfortable, and I always feel that even my bones are sore.

Yang Manchun said "Oh", and then glanced at Zhu Yuzhen meaningfully.

When Zhu Yuzhen heard Wen Ming's words, she had already turned to look at Manni, who had washed up and returned to the living room. When she saw Manni blinking at her, she couldn't help but smile:
"Manni, where's the comb? Do you want Sister Yuzhen to comb your hair?"

Manni glanced at her, walked to the cabinet at the door, opened the drawer, took out a comb, and handed it to Zhu Yuzhen.

In fact, she knows how to comb her hair herself, but her mother and sister seem to be used to combing her hair, and she doesn't object, so it has become a matter of course now.

Seeing Zhu Yuzhen take the comb, she walked up to her and squatted between her legs just like Wen Minghua and Yang Manchun did when they combed her hair.

Zhu Yuzhen paused with her hand holding the comb, then looked at Yang Manchun, asking with her eyes: Manni's condition looks much better?

Yang Manchun nodded to her calmly,

"Please be gentle, don't hurt our Mannie."

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched Manni's face. Manni's condition has indeed improved a lot recently. She has become more spiritual than before, and she interacts with them much more.

Look at Manni's face again. It's a shame that their mother feeds her with an egg and malted milk powder every day. Look, it's only been a month, and her little face, which used to be so thin, has become fleshy.

Manni took off her hand and looked back at Zhu Yuzhen. Didn't you say you were combing her hair? Why didn't you do it? Squatting for too long would make your legs numb?
Zhu Yuzhen did not stay at Yang's house for long. While Yang Manchun and Manni were having breakfast, she got up and went back to the front yard.

"What does this girl want to say to you when she comes here early in the morning?"

Wen Minghua asked Yang Manchun when he could no longer see his back.

Yang Manchun glanced at Wen Minghua, his lips twitched, and then he lowered his head to drink the porridge.

"..."

Wen Minghua was speechless. Is there anything she couldn't say?
She glanced at Yang Manchun, then looked at Manni:
"Wei Zeyun won't come over today. You can play with your sister at home, okay?"

The weather has become very cool now. She is going to buy more vegetables for a few days today. She also wants to see if she can buy some more meat.

So I will definitely go to places where there are private transactions, such as the black market, and it will be inconvenient to take Manni with me.

"Manchun, after you have eaten, go and see if any chickens have laid eggs in the henhouse. It sounded a bit like it to me just now."

Wen Minghua was willing to take care of the two hens that Aunt Wu gave her some time ago. She served them with fine corn kernels or old yellow cabbage leaves from the canteen every day. Now she can pick up two eggs almost every day.

After changing her clothes, Wen Minghua put a vegetable basket on her arm and was ready to go out. When she reached the door, she still turned around and said uneasily:

"Manchun, that boy will come later, keep an eye on him."

She was talking about the youngest son of Chen Guixiang's family. Wei Zeyun probably took him to play twice during this period. The boy would come to see Manni every day when he came back from school.

He just wanted to play with Manni. After all, children didn't like to play, but he didn't expect that kid's hands and feet were a little dirty.

It was last Wednesday night. Their family hadn't cooked dinner yet, and Manni was writing in the living room. The boy came over, looked next to Manni, and then ran around in their living room.

Wen Minghua didn't care at that time, thinking that as long as he didn't disturb Manni, it would be fine. Who would have thought that just when she entered the house to get matches, Yang Manchun's bag on the cabinet at the door was opened.

Manchun later told her that in addition to a small wooden comb, a small roll of toilet paper, a small mirror and a box of Pechoin, the bag contained more than five yuan in change.

These things and other things were not moved, except for the money, four yuan was missing.

That's right, four of the entire denominations were missing.

What else didn't they understand at this time? It must have been that boy Zhang Tieniu who took it away. Otherwise, how could they explain that after the others left, the bag was turned over and the money inside was still missing?

Wen Minghua also wanted to find Chen Guixiang, but after all, they failed to grasp the current situation and could only suffer the loss of silence for the time being.

But from that day on, whenever that kid came to the house, Wen Minghua would either kick him out and let him play in the yard, or she would stare at him without blinking.
