Rebirth of the Evil Stepmother and the Four Villainous Children
Chapter 71 Birthday (3 more votes for Wuming at this moment)
The lair's wife has suffered a lot these past few days. Not only is the food bad in the cell, but it is also extremely humid. Her body is covered with rashes, and there are cockroaches and rats for company. She can't get any help from anyone, whether she cries out for help or not.
After keeping her in custody for a few days, she was released when she saw that she had behaved herself. When she returned to the village and saw that her husband had not returned yet, she did not dare to cause trouble for Zhou Rongrong.
She could only stay at home, taking care of her children and parents-in-law and living on a few acres of land. Not only did the leprosy disappear, but she also became more diligent and no one beat her anymore.
He cleaned the house thoroughly, took a long bath, and went down to tend to the fields.
Many people in the village saw it and said that the leper ran well. They also told Zhou Rongrong about it. Zhou Rongrong felt nothing after hearing it.
The main reason is that Dabao’s birthday is coming, and coincidentally, this child’s birthday is on the same day as Zhou Rongrong’s.
According to the calculation of the previous life, this body just reached adulthood on its eighteenth birthday, but it is already a mother of four children.
It's simply magical. Dabao has also reached his eighth birthday.
Dabao had never had a birthday in the first seven years of his life, and Zhou Rongrong naturally would not allow such a situation to happen.
Both of their birthdays are on the same day, so why not celebrate it together and have a warm birthday with the family.
So five days before her birthday, Zhou Rongrong started studying the oven. She wanted to make a birthday cake, so she built the oven in the same way as a kiln.
First, use loess to make a semi-arch shape, and then use bricks to separate the upper and lower layers. A layer of iron sheet is also added inside. A layer of bricks is built around the loess kiln outside the oven, and then it is baked with fire. When the loess is completely dry, it is heated again with high heat, and an oven is ready.
Zhou Rongrong first threw in a few sweet potatoes to test them. Within 20 minutes, she smelled a burnt smell. She quickly opened the oven door and found that the sweet potatoes had been roasted into charcoal, looking very black.
The temperature was too high, so Zhou Rongrong made a small hole in the upper part of the oven, controlled the fire, and tried again before finally succeeding.
The next step was to make the cake. Zhou Rongrong followed the instructions in the pastry cookbook and tried to make it step by step. She even used a small medicine scale to weigh the weight of the ingredients. Every step was exactly the same.
But Zhou Rongrong just has no talent at all in making pastries. Jiang Manman watched more and more flour, sugar and eggs being wasted and became anxious.
"Aunt, if I don't come, we will be almost out of flour."
Zhou Rongrong looked at the cake bases that were either burnt or not puffed up at all, which filled half the basket, and said regretfully.
"There is a famous saying that goes, nothing is difficult in the world as long as you are willing to give up."
"Aunt, this is very strange. Who said that?"
"A man called Da, take your time, I'll tell you what to do."
Seeing that Chinese medicine practitioner Zhou Rongrong had stopped, Jiang Manman quickly took the tools from her and started to do it herself. It can be said that there are still differences between people.
The first time Jiang Manman baked, Zhou Rongrong smelled a unique fragrance of the cake, which was completely different from the ones she baked.
Zhou Rongrong's self-confidence was hit, and she looked at Jiang Manman with a face full of grievance. Jiang Manman patted her aunt's shoulder and said.
"Aunt, your talent is not here."
While Zhou Rongrong was busy trying to make a cake, the four children gathered together to discuss what gifts to prepare for Zhou Rongrong.
When the four children took out the money and put it in a pile, they didn't expect that they had so much money without realizing it.
The main reason is that Zhou Rongrong would give some pocket money to the children, but the children go to school and come home every day, and Zhou Rongrong buys everything they need, even the daily snacks are bought by Zhou Rongrong.
Normally, children spend very little money and basically don’t spend any, so they save it up slowly.
After Dabao finished counting, he said, "What gift can we buy with two taels and one hundred copper coins?"
This huge sum of money made the children's heads buzz. If Cheng knew about this, she would definitely say with great sorrow that the underwear you are wearing each cost one or two taels of silver.
Several children began to discuss what to buy for Zhou Rongrong, and introduced things to everyone.
Dabao naturally said he wanted to buy books. After all, he thought books were the best things in the world and his mother also liked to read.
But the three children unanimously refused.
Erbao said, "Brother, there are so many books in the study that mother can't even read them all. Buying books is not an option. In my opinion, we should buy mother a hidden weapon, the kind that swooshes."
"How can there be a whooshing sound? Why doesn't mother ever use any hidden weapons when she hits people? She just goes up to you and slaps you in the face." Sanbao said.
"I think it's better to send some tonic medicine. Tonic medicine is best for strengthening the body."
Erbao said unhappily, "I think mother is as strong as a bull, she doesn't need to drink any bitter medicine."
After all, when we were practicing martial arts together in the morning, my mother’s kicking could break a tree the size of an adult’s arm into two halves.
Sibao thought that what his brothers said was all bullshit and said in a baby voice.
"Listen to me, listen to me. My mother and I are both girls, and I understand her best. She doesn't have any jewelry, but I see other aunts wearing beautiful jewelry on their heads and hands."
Everyone thought about it and realized that was right. Mother earned money and bought them a lot of things, but there was not a single piece of jewelry in her room. Mother had pawned all the jewelry she had before because she thought they were ugly.
Dabao said, "But mother doesn't know how to comb her hair into a bun. How can she wear a hairpin if she doesn't comb her hair into a bun?"
Yes, even now, Zhou Rongrong, who is clumsy, doesn’t know how to tie her hair into a bun. She just wears a high ponytail all day long, which is convenient and quick.
Sibao said, "Then buy something to wear on your hands, a nice bracelet. I heard there is a Taoist temple in town that prays for peace and good luck. Let's go there and pray for peace and blessings, or we can give the red string to mother. What do you think?"
The three boys all thought it was a good idea, so they handed the matter over to Sanbao. After all, Sanbao was the only one who had to go to town every day. Sanbao put the money into his small bag and patted his chest.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'll go with my master's wife. My master's wife's jewelry is very beautiful. She will definitely choose the most beautiful bracelet."
The next day, after seeing Zhou Rongrong send him away, Sanbao pestered Mrs. Zhao to take him to the shop to buy bracelets. He selected them one by one and set his eyes on a heavy pumpkin bracelet with two "Fu" pendants.
The shopkeeper said, "Mrs. Zhao has good taste. This bracelet and this pumpkin represent long-lasting fortune, prosperity and wealth. This bracelet cost four taels of silver to make."
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the silver that can be used to make jewelry is far inferior to the silver that can be made into money, Mrs. Zhao said as she took the silver in her hand and looked at it.
"How much do you sell this silver for, with average materials?"
The shopkeeper said, "Madam Zhao, the silver used in this bracelet is from the southwest. Although it is not as good as other bracelets, it is not easy to turn black, and it is heavy enough. Wearing it on your hand will make you look very wealthy. So, since you are also our old customer, I will give you a discount of two and a half taels from the original price of three taels."
Madam Zhao said, "This bracelet is not worth the money. It's priced at two taels. Your bracelet is only worth two taels. If it's worth more, I won't go to other houses to look."
The shopkeeper cried out, gritting his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay, two taels is two taels. Madam Zhao, please don't tell anyone. I'm offering this price just to make you a friend."
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Please pack it for me as a gift. Also, give us two of your butterfly hairbands. I think they are very pretty."
The shopkeeper said, "Okay, okay, then Madam Zhao, please come back next time."
Since it was the children's gifts, Mrs. Zhao didn't pay for it and let Sanbao pay for it. Since they were all bought for their mother, then the master's wife must have something. It's just that she didn't have much money, so she chose a hairpin for the master's wife for a hundred coins, which meant she really didn't have a penny left.
Mrs. Zhao put it on her head happily and was extremely happy.
He then took the three treasures to worship the Lord Tianzun and asked for a peace talisman before going back.
Here it comes, it’s three o’clock today, folks, it’s time to go to the dentist today.
Same urging, 30 days to go, more tomorrow
