Chapter 70 Give the White Radish a Bath
After hearing what her daughter said, Liu Pandi was persuaded, "Then Mom will make some steamed buns. If we make steamed buns, we can't make egg pancakes."
In Liu Pandi's opinion, eating only white flour buns was already a luxury, so there was no point in eating egg pancakes.
Their kitchen has not been set up yet, and during these days of separation, the three rooms still share one kitchen.
Liu Pandi waited until her mother-in-law had prepared lunch before she went to make it. The steamed buns still needed to ferment, so they couldn't be made in a short time. Liu Pandi made steamed buns for lunch.
Seeing her mother making steamed bread, Shen Xue was unhappy. "Mom, why do we eat steamed bread every day? Can't you try something different? Maybe you can make two egg pancakes."
Old Lady Shen had just finished making egg pancakes and brought them out. The aroma of pancakes was still wafting from the kitchen. She was greedy just by smelling it.
Seeing Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong sitting in the yard with bowls in their hands and eating egg pancakes in big mouthfuls, she became even more greedy.
Fools and losers all have egg pancakes to eat, so why can't she, Shen Xue, have one!
Shen Xue thought that after the division, life would be better for the third room, but she found that the food they ate was even worse than before the division. She was very unhappy.
As soon as Uncle Shen came back and heard what his daughter said, he got angry, "It's good enough to have Wowotou to eat, but you picked it up. You dislike Wowotou so much, don't eat it anymore in the future."
Recently, my daughter has become more and more pretentious. Uncle Shen gets annoyed whenever he sees her. He doesn't know what she's thinking all day long. She doesn't work hard at work, and she finds faults when she comes home.
"Pan Di, you don't have to prepare lunch and dinner for her. She is precious and can't eat whole grains. There is no need for us to waste food."
Since her husband had spoken, Liu Pandi had no choice but to do as he said. She really had to keep her daughter under control. After she went hungry for one or two meals, she no longer dared to be picky about food.
Don't let her eat again? She was very hungry, how could she not eat? "Mom and Dad, I was wrong, I just said it casually, Wowotou is delicious, I like to eat Wowotou."
Liu Pandi and Uncle Shen ignored her.
Uncle Shen said he would not give her any food, and he really did not give her any. Shen Xue had to go hungry.
Whenever she was hungry, she would think about the food for the first and second wives. When Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia were making lunch, she would always be in the kitchen, helping to watch the fire.
It is not so easy to take advantage of the first and second wives. After Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia prepared the meal, they took it back to their own room. Shen Xue didn't get a single bite to eat. She could only curse them for being cold-blooded in her heart.
Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong were playing and fighting in the yard. Shen Xue felt that their laughter was very harsh. She was living such a miserable life, but the fool and the loser were living so happily. She wanted to go over and ruin their beautiful moment.
But she didn't dare. They were two lunatics who would beat people up over the slightest disagreement, yet her family members still protected them.
Shen Shuyu didn't spend much time with Gu Jiandong these past two days. Gu Jiandong was actually a clingy person. When she was busy, he would be very sensible, but his dark eyes would be watery, and anyone who saw them would feel that this child had been wronged.
Every time Shen Shuyu was about to go out, she would not look into his eyes.
"Gu Jiandong, I'm free all afternoon today. Where do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
Gu Jiandong held her hand and shook it, "I don't want to go anywhere. As long as Shu Yu stays at home with me, that's enough."
Shen Shuyu touched his head and said, "Then we won't go anywhere today, just play at home!"
They only know how to play around. They are indeed fools and wastes. Seeing that the two of them were an eyesore, Shen Xue turned around and went back to the house.
White Radish wagged its tail and walked into the yard with graceful little steps. When it saw its two owners at home, it barked twice and wagged its tail even more happily.
Gu Jiandong pouted in disgust, "White Radish, you are so dirty, your hair is all covered in mud, did you roll in the mud?"
"Wang Wang!"
Gu Jiandong couldn't bear to see his dog so dirty, so he said to Shen Shuyu, "Shuyu, let's give the white radish a bath, okay?"
Gu Jiandong would hold the white radish in his arms while sleeping every night. It was so dirty that he had to bathe it. "Okay, let's give it a bath."
"Then I'll go back to the house and get the white radish soap." A dog even has its own special soap, and white radish is also the first one.
Gu Jiandong likes fragrant things. When he went to the countryside, his parents gave him more than a dozen bars of soap.
Gu Jiandong took out a piece and used it to bathe the white radish.
Shen Shuyu filled the water, and Gu Jiandong put the white radish into the wooden basin and began to bathe it. He rubbed the soap on the dog's hair, and soon the basin was full of bubbles.
Gu Jiandong pulled the white radish's hair into various shapes. He rubbed and kneaded it continuously. The white radish cooperated very well and really enjoyed the scrubbing.
Gu Jiandong held a ball of bubbles in his palm, pursed his lips and blew air into them, and the colorful bubbles flew up one by one.
He shouted happily, "Shuyu, look, there are so many bubbles flying."
"I see, I see, Gu Jiandong is really amazing."
It was almost time to go to work. Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia came out of the house and saw the two playing with bubbles in the yard. The corners of their mouths twitched and they thought to themselves: what a prodigal child.
They didn't use soap when they took a bath, but the dog did.
The two sisters-in-law looked upset, and fearing that they would feel worse if they continued watching, they strode out.
Liu Pandi and Shen Xue left the house and saw this scene, feeling sour and jealous.
Soap is so expensive that the three families couldn't afford to buy a bar, but they just used soap on a dog.
Liu Pandi took out the airs of a third aunt and educated him, "Shu Yu, Jiandong is an ignorant child, and you are also ignorant? Soap is not easy to buy, and you need money and tickets. How can you use soap for a dog!
If you have too much soap to use up, Third Auntie doesn't mind helping you with it."
Gu Jiandong, who was playing with bubbles, became unhappy when he heard what Liu Pandi said. He stood up and put his hands on his hips angrily, "You can't say that about Shu Yu. I don't like it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a basin of dog washing water was poured over the mother and daughter, and they were both soaked to the bone!
Shen Shuyu: Her Gu Jiandong is so handsome!
Gu Jiandong pouted and said unhappily, "Shu Yu, the water is wasted!"
The white radish had not finished its bath yet, so he should have given it a bath before splashing the water.
Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "Don't waste it. The water is too dirty. It's time to change the water for the white radish."
"what!"
"what!"
Suddenly, a basin of water was poured over them. The mother and daughter were stunned for several seconds before they shouted out loudly.
"Mom and Dad, please come out and take care of them! This is outrageous!"
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen came out of the house slowly. "Old Third, what are you yelling about? What's going on?"
Liu Pandi and Shen Xue were soaked. The mother and daughter went back to the house to change clothes. Liu Pandi pointed at her dripping hair and the clothes she had taken off and said angrily,
"Dad and Mom, look at this, this is all done by a fool. I just said a few words, but the fool threw water at us for no reason. You have to take care of this matter."
"I am an old woman in the house and I am not deaf, so why was I splashed with water? Don't you know what's going on?
My good boy and Jiandong can do whatever they want, what does it have to do with you? "
