Being a widow with three children, I drove a BMW in the 1980s

Chapter 9 Explain

Cheng Li carefully rubbed lather on their hands, covering the backs of their palms and between their fingernails.

Just touching the little hands one by one, Cheng Li felt very uncomfortable.

They were obviously only a few years old, but their hands were thick and rough, with barbs on their fingertips and deep cracks.

Some regret being so cruel to them.

They have lived in an unloved environment for a long time, and their father is their only light.

As long as their father is alive, even if grandma doesn't like them, they are still family children. But when their father is gone, they still have to be with her, a 'bad woman', like duckweeds on the sea, they can only rely on each other.

At this time, any gossip can make them extremely uneasy, so he should make it clear to them.

"Here, wipe your hands."

I wiped their hands clean one by one, filled a basin of water with them, and washed their faces cleanly. Their yellow and thin little faces were really not healthy at all.

Daqiang stood up straight, his little hands frozen at his sides and didn't dare to move at all.

The first time someone washed my face, it felt very different.

Dad said that they are men and should do their own thing. As the eldest brother, he should set an example and take good care of his younger brothers and sisters!
When we were at Su's house, only Su Guangyao would be helped by his mother to wash his face in the morning. He said that he was not a man and he had to be helped to wash his face.

I will still be envious in my heart.

Now, although it is strange to be washed by this woman, it turns out that this is what it feels like to be washed by someone else!
Although the little chrysanthemum was still scared, Cheng Li's movements were too gentle. After just two strokes, she relaxed, and she even put on a shy smile after washing.

Then there's Su Laoer, who has dark eyes. Unlike Daqiang, you can tell what mood he's in by just looking at his face.

The second strong man is like an adult, too smart, has seen too many human relationships, and is duplicitous. This makes him different from his peers in simplicity, and he can analyze and judge.

However, no matter how smart he is, he is only a six-year-old child. When Cheng Li wiped the handkerchief on her hand, she still couldn't avoid it.

After washing up, the three bowls of water on the stove had cooled down a bit. Cheng Li still poured four tablespoons of milk powder into each bowl for them.

"Here, one bowl per person, drink it all, don't waste it."

It turned out that it was really for them to drink. Thinking of the taste of the milk powder last night, several people subconsciously licked their mouths.

Cheng Li was busy adding firewood and making breakfast.

I still have some meat and vegetables at home, but I don’t have anything else, so I’ll just make vegetable and lean meat porridge.

Daqiang drank half of the drink, glanced at the people working on the stove with his little eyes, and prepared to give the rest to his sister.

He didn't forget that his sister was still talking about wanting to drink milk powder last night!

Coincidentally, Su Erqiang thought the same way.

What's even more coincidental is that Cheng Li caught him before the plan was implemented.

"What are you doing? Don't you like drinking?"

There was still half a bowl left in Daqiang's bowl, and Erqiang seemed to have only taken a few sips, leaving more than half of it. Cheng Li was a little confused, could it be that children nowadays are not used to drinking milk powder?Didn't I see them drinking heavily last night?

Daqiang hesitated, but it was Erqiang who spoke first, "I am the elder brother, and this milk powder is for my younger sister, who is still young."

"Yes, I give mine to my sister too, I'm the eldest brother!"

It turned out that this was the case. Cheng Li squatted down to be level with them, smiled softly, and rubbed their heads gently. "You are great. You know how to protect my sister and leave delicious food to her. But you are still young and need to eat enough. Otherwise, you won't grow taller or bigger. How can you protect your sister?"

The two little faces showed a tangled look at the same time.

"Besides." Cheng Li pointed to the milk powder on the stove, "Don't worry, there is enough milk powder for you to drink. Drink it quickly. If you don't finish it, I will be angry."

As long as they provide likeability points, it's not just milk powder, but any bicycle you want!

None of them had seen Cheng Li look so gentle. In the past, they always smiled at grandma, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and grandma, and either beat or scolded them or rolled their eyes.

It looked good like this. Daqiang didn't want her to be angry, so he drank it in a few sips.

After drinking, don’t forget to smash it in your mouth to savor the aftertaste.

Erqiang glanced at his sister. She drank slowly, taking small sips while there was still more than half of the bowl. After thinking about it, she drank it all obediently.

But after putting down the bowl, he reached out and tugged at the hem of Cheng Li's clothes.

"What's wrong? We're going to eat later, so we can't drink anymore."

"Will you send your sister away or sell us?"

This was the first time Cheng Li had come here, and he spoke to her without any thorns in his eyes!

Just as she was dozing off, a pillow was handed to her, and she was still thinking about how to talk to them!

Cheng Li looked at them seriously and shook her head, "No, when I separated from your grandmother, I never thought of sending you away, let alone selling the little chrysanthemum. Don't be afraid."

Daqiang pointed to the milk powder can in confusion, "Then where did this come from? Didn't you collect the buyer's money and things?"

Was it these things that aroused their suspicion?
"Don't you know? These are your father's pensions."

The children didn't know anything. It was easy to imagine that the Su family was probably talking about something in front of the children.

"Your father's pension was occupied by your grandma. He led someone to trick me out, and then found someone to catch me. He just wanted to drive me away and then take the pension for himself. Later, I got it back and divided the family. "

In just a few words, he roughly explained the matter and let the children understand the truth. Although, the original owner did want to run away, but she was here.

She only followed the truth after she arrived, and she really never thought about running away.

"So this milk powder, rice, meat, and vegetables were all bought with your father's pension. They belong to you, so feel free to eat them."

When she mentioned her deceased father, the children were visibly sad. Xiao Juhua immediately shed tears. When she cried, her two brothers also had red eyes and tears fell down.

She just wanted to explain and didn't want to make the three children cry! ! !

"Okay, don't cry anymore. Your father will definitely protect you in heaven, so go wash the dishes now and you can eat in a while."

The best way to end a topic is to start a new one. Well, the boys just ran to wash the dishes.

"Brother, do you think what she said is true? Is she really not going to sell us?"

Daqiang rubbed the bowl in his hand quickly, and after washing his own, he took his sister's over. The smell of fragrant meat porridge was in his nose, and he just wanted to wash it quickly and go to eat.

Regarding the question of the top two, the one-year-old man wrinkled his nose and expressed his unique opinion.

"That's right. There's a lot of meat in the porridge she cooked. Let's wash it quickly and eat it!"
