Chapter 4

The two boys looked at each other and nodded.

When Xie Chuanchuan saw Qiao Shuling enter the kitchen, he took the initiative to go in and light the fire.

Xie Shengsheng also hurried to help Xie Chuanchuan.

The two well-behaved and sensible kids made Qiao Shuling feel soft-hearted.

After the fire was lit, Qiao Shuling was in trouble.

The original owner was a lazy woman who loved to eat and had very few supplies at home.

With the two treasures watching, she couldn’t take all the supplies from the space.

There was also a tomato, two potatoes, three eggs, and a little meat and rice at home.

After all, the two treasures were just little kids, and they had no idea how much stuff there was at home. While the two treasures were busy making a fire, Qiao Shuling exchanged some pork from the space.

The supply rack in the space can only be exchanged once a day, but this is enough for Qiao Shuling.

Anyway, Xie Chengxiao is not at home at the moment, so she is not afraid of having more meat.

Liangbao had already put the wood into the earthen stove. Qiao Shuling asked Liangbao to step back while she started the fire.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her dazzling white arms, and began to cut the potatoes into shreds skillfully.

Then put a thin knife on the meat taken out from the space and sliced off half a bowl.

As for the little bit of fat that was already in the house, she threw it into the pot first, and after the oil came out, she poured in the minced garlic, and finally poured in the shredded potatoes and pork. The iron spatula flew, the meat slices became crispy and fragrant, and the shredded potatoes were dyed with sauce, which was so fragrant that it made people a little dizzy.

The two treasures couldn’t help swallowing their saliva as they watched Qiao Shuling cooking.

This was the first time they watched their mother cook.

It smells so good…

In the past, Qiao Shuling disliked her two sons and never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. Naturally, she had never cooked for her two children.

Usually, either Xie Chengxiao takes care of them, or they are fostered in Aunt Lu Hong’s home next door.

Xie Chengxiao doesn’t have high requirements for food, and the food he cooks is always watery.

Lu Hong’s cooking method is what most people of this era do, they try to save as much as possible and avoid adding seasoning if possible.

The two treasures had never eaten anything with such a strong aroma.

Qiao Shuling scooped up the stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes, quickly fried an egg, and made a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

She had just arrived and had limited supplies, so she could only eat these for now.

But even so, these two dishes and one soup can be considered a luxury in this era.

Qiao Shuling took out the steamed rice and placed it on the wooden table, and then arranged the freshly prepared dishes one by one.

The two babies opened their eyes wide, dazzled by the smell of today’s meal.

Especially Xie Shengsheng, his stomach started to growl again.

But the two treasures didn’t dare to move. They were used to being abused by Qiao Shuling. Unless Qiao Shuling gave the order, they didn’t dare to move at all. They could only look at her pitifully with their big eyes.

Qiao Shuling smiled and said, “Chuanchuan, Shengsheng, you two should go wash your hands quickly. Didn’t you see that mom has cooked the dishes?”

Xie Chuanchuan has been smart since he was a child. He observed Qiao Shuling’s expression and saw that Qiao Shuling was really calling them to eat, so he hurriedly pulled his brother out to wash his hands.

Qiao Shuling’s heart was melted by these two adorable babies.

After washing their hands, they sat obediently at the dining table.

“Eat quickly, babies.”

Qiao Shuling picked up some eggs and meat for each of them.

The two treasures immediately started eating it up in no time.

“Good times!”

Xie Sheng’s pronunciation of “吃” is not correct.

Xie Chuanchuan was still calm, but he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, “Delicious.”

The two treasures were so easily satisfied that Qiao Shuling felt even more distressed.

Xie Shengsheng was eating when tears suddenly flowed down his face. There was still some unchewed meat in his mouth.

“Mom, can you sing a song like this, wow wow wow”

He sobbed as he ate.

Qiao Shuling was really afraid that he would choke.

“Okay, okay, be good, Shengsheng, mom won’t hit or scold you anymore.”

Only then did the two treasures eat with peace of mind.

However, every time they took a bite, they would secretly glance at Qiao Shuling.

Mom has become so gentle and beautiful——

Baby likes mother——

After dinner, the two treasures consciously helped Qiao Shuling wash the dishes and clean up.

They are clearly two little kids, yet they stand on the bench to grab work.

“Mom, you go and rest, we can just wash the dishes!”

Xie Chuanchuan led Xie Shengsheng, and the two babies insisted on washing the dishes.

“Mom, you’re already tired from cooking, so leave the dishes to me and my brother!”

Seeing that they insisted, Qiao Shuling poured them some warm water and put the dishwashing basin on the ground for the two kids to wash.

She returned to the house and took out the money Xie Chengxiao had given her for the divorce. After counting carefully, there were 2,750 yuan in it, as well as a lot of meat tickets and industrial tickets.

In this era, it is definitely a huge sum of money!

Xie Chengxiao is the group leader, and his monthly allowance is about 195 yuan.

The money here is equivalent to his salary for one and a half years.

It seems that Xie Chengxiao spent a lot of money to divorce the original owner, the vicious female supporting role.

Since the money was given to her, it was hers. As for the divorce—

Don’t even think about it!

Although she could take out supplies from the space every day, she still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get the supplies out of the way, and then buy some supplements for the two children.

But this money is definitely not enough to raise two children.

For the sake of her children and her own quality of life, she has to find a way to make money.

She was thinking about how to make money when a foul smell came over.

What does this smell like!

Qiao Shuling walked out and saw that the two treasures had finished washing the dishes and were pinching their noses.

“What does this smell like, babies?”

Xie Chuanchuan pinched his nose and said in a muffled voice, “Mom, Aunt Wei came to our house to use the toilet again!”

Only then did Qiao Shuling turn his gaze to the toilet in the yard.

The toilet was built separately in the courtyard and was equipped with a squat toilet.

Most of the family members in the family compound go to public toilets or keep a urinal at home. Only Qiao Shuling’s family has an independent toilet, and even a squat toilet.

Qiao Shuling remembered this.

When the original owner married Xie Chengxiao, she insisted on building a toilet, saying that she didn’t want to squeeze into a public toilet with others while pregnant.

Xie Chengxiao is a reasonable person.

He also thought that since Qiao Shuling was pregnant, it would be inconvenient for her to get up at night to go to the public toilet, so he spent a lot of money to build a public toilet in their small courtyard.

But after the toilet was built, many people came to use it.

The original owner was a bully at home, bullying his own son, but he was timid and polite to outsiders.

When others came to use the toilet, they made feces and urine all over the floor. She didn’t dare to yell at them and tell them not to use the toilet, so she could only enslave her son to clean it up.

Qiao Shuling was speechless.

The voice of Aunt Wei Wei Guofang came from the toilet.

“Sister Qiao, bring me some paper quickly, you don’t have enough paper at home!”
