I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Chapter 8 Taking a Shower at the Factory

Huaihua returned to the west wing of the central courtyard. She pushed the door open and saw her sister Xiaodang sitting on her bed, pouting and staring at her.

"You didn't listen to your mother. I told you not to go out, but you insisted on going out." Xiaodang said angrily.

Huaihua yawned. This body had just recovered from a serious illness, and sitting for a long time was a bit too much for her.

She closed the door, ran to the bed and tried to climb onto it using her hands and feet, but her arms and legs were short and she couldn't even reach the edge of the bed.

Xiaodang had no choice but to get out of bed and push her butt harder from behind. After getting into bed, she immediately got into the quilt that still had Xiaodang's body temperature and closed her eyes comfortably. After a while, she fell asleep.

She slept till the day was dark. When she opened her eyes and woke up, it was pitch black outside again. She was almost becoming a nocturnal animal!

The Jia family seemed too poor, they didn't even have a clock at home, and they basically worked from sunrise to sunset. She didn't know what time it was in the middle of the night.

Her stomach started to growl again. If this continued, the money in her account wouldn't last for a few days. She sighed and opened the shopping platform anyway.

There are all kinds of delicious foods on this platform. I am not qualified to choose from everywhere now, so I continue to eat eight-treasure porridge.

I still summoned the platform customer service and asked it to help me buy eight-treasure porridge to feed me. After I ate and drank enough, it was still pitch black outside.

She couldn't sleep now! With nothing to do, she browsed the shopping platform. The various types of goods on it were not much different from those in her previous life, except that there were more goods belonging to this era.

For example, the Phoenix 28-bar truck, Jianshe brand Fuqiang flour, Dengta brand soap, I-shaped brand air gun, Seagull brand Type 4 camera, etc.

She asked the platform customer service, who said that it was set up to be more in line with the times. It can replace some advanced products and reduce unnecessary troubles for users.

This shopping platform really cares about its users! Unfortunately, I am a four-year-old girl with no ability to make money, so this wave of promotions on the shopping platform is a waste.

I don’t know how long I browsed the platform interface. Huaihua felt it was at least four or five hours, but dawn was still nowhere to be seen.

She flipped through the interface aimlessly, and as she was looking at it, her eyelids drooped and she fell asleep again.

Today is Sunday, Qin Huairu doesn't have to go to work, and Banggeng doesn't have to go to school. So, she slept until seven o'clock today.

But she has a lot to do today! She has three children's cotton-padded jackets and trousers to be altered, which will keep her busy for a while.

She opened the door to the inner room and went to see her youngest daughter, Huaihua. She didn't know what was wrong with Huaihua! After her fever subsided, she became so sleepy. Except for walking around yesterday afternoon, she had been sleeping all afternoon.

She moved closer to the bed and took a look. Sure enough, he was still sleeping soundly. What kind of strange disease did he have? He slept so hard that he didn't even want to eat?

Qin Huairu frowned and began to worry again. If she continued like this, she would starve to death! She decided to wake up her little daughter after breakfast was ready. If she wanted to sleep, she had to eat breakfast first!

She opened the stove to cook porridge, and took the wash basin to wash herself. Then, while the porridge was still not cooked, she set up the sewing machine and made new cotton pants for her son Banggeng.

The sound of the sewing machine woke Huaihua up. It was a little colder today than yesterday, and she curled up in bed and didn't want to get up at all.

She didn't have a cotton-padded jacket to wear! Her mother was busy on the sewing machine, wasn't she making a new cotton-padded jacket for her? Thinking of this, Huaihua felt a little hopeful.

As soon as Qin Huairu's sewing machine started to sound, everyone on the kang in the inner room couldn't sleep! Jia Zhang's loud voice immediately rang out, cursing and swearing for disturbing her sweet dream.

"Good! Hurry up and try on your new cotton-padded jacket and trousers."

As Qin Huairu finished her words, Huaihua's heart suddenly sank.

After the whole family got up, they sat around the dining table to eat breakfast. Banggeng, wearing a new cotton-padded jacket and trousers, looked at Xiaodang with a squinting look, looking very proud.

Qin Huairu went to wake up her little daughter, but Huaihua closed her eyes in anger and ignored her. Qin Huairu lifted the quilt and picked her up. She wanted to help her little daughter get dressed, but found that she had nothing to wear. Huaihua wore that single piece of clothing to sleep!

Qin Huairu went into the inner room and took out the old cotton-padded jacket that Banggeng had changed and put it on her little daughter. Unexpectedly, Banggeng saw it and yelled, not letting her little sister Huaihua wear his old cotton-padded jacket.

Seeing that his mother didn't listen to him at all, the bad boy cried and rolled on the ground. The new cotton-padded jacket and trousers he had just put on were immediately dirty.

Huaihua struggled to get off Qin Huairu's body and threw away the cotton-padded jacket she was wearing. She didn't want to wear a cotton-padded jacket like that! She would not wear it even if she was frozen to death.

Qin Huairu didn't even have breakfast, and continued to operate the sewing machine, remaking Banggeng's old cotton-padded jacket for Xiaodang to wear. Xiaodang's cotton-padded jacket was already too short, so she could give it to her younger daughter.

It is the same in families with many children today. The children in the family take turns wearing a piece of clothing.

Qin Huairu pedaled the sewing machine so fast that she finished altering the cotton coat and trousers in less than an hour. She handed the clothes to Xiaodang and asked her to change them quickly. Banggeng looked at Xiaodang, but this time he didn't say anything.

Qin Huairu went out to see the sun, and took Xiaodang's cotton-padded jacket to change it for her little daughter. It was obviously too late! This morning, she was going to take her two daughters to the bathroom of the steel rolling mill to take a bath.

Shazhu was working overtime today and cooking for himself. She had already agreed with Shazhu that she would take her two daughters to the cafeteria for lunch. After lunch, she would bring some food back for Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng.

Qin Huairu rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs of Xiaodang's cotton jacket and trousers and put them on her little daughter Huaihua.

Huaihua heard that she was going to take a bath in the bathroom, so she didn't resist. She had a fever and sweated for the past two days, and she felt that she had a foul smell on her body.

Xiaodang carried the toiletries, and Zou Huairu picked up Huaihua, and they walked out of Courtyard No. 95 together and headed towards the third steel rolling mill.

Along the way, Huaihua clung to her mother's shoulders, her eyes wide open, overwhelmed by what she saw. She had lived in the old city for thirteen years in her previous life, but the alleys in front of her now were very unfamiliar.

She had been to Nanluoguxiang in her previous life, and No. 95 was a post office, which later became a telecommunications business hall. So what she could see now was completely different from her previous life.

Since she didn't have breakfast, Qin Huairu walked and rested while holding Sophora japonica in her arms. It took her more than half an hour to reach the third steel rolling mill.

Today was Sunday, and there were not many people in the women's bathroom. Qin Huairu borrowed a large wooden tub from somewhere, filled it with hot water, and let her two daughters soak in it.

She picked up the underwear and socks that her two daughters had taken off and ran to the outside pool to rub them with soap. Each of her two daughters had only one set of underwear, which they washed and dried and were waiting to be worn.

After washing, she went to the boiler room to hang clothes on the clothes rack to dry. Taking this opportunity, she ran to the women's bathroom to take off her clothes and gave her two daughters a bath. She was more tired than usual at work.

After a good scrubbing, Huaihua felt that she had lost at least several pounds. Her mother Qin Huairu had fair skin, big breasts and a round figure, no wonder everyone wanted to take advantage of her.

After the mother and her two daughters had finished washing, Qin Huairu put on her clothes and went to the boiler room to get the washed and dried clothes of her two daughters.

When I brought my two daughters to the first canteen, Sha Zhu was already waiting at the canteen door. Today was Sunday, and the canteen's cooks had finished their work, so there was no one there.

"Eat quickly, and take the two lunch boxes over there back with you."

Sha Zhu brought the food to the table. The steamed buns made in the canteen of the steel mill had more flour, so they were softer than those made by the Jia family.

There was no Banggeng robbing food around, nor was there Jia Zhang's fierce eyes staring at them. The two sisters were very satisfied with the meal, at least Huaihua felt full again.
