Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 143 A Day at Home

Bai Jing and Bai Yong were very well-behaved; they poured hot water into the thermos and washed the bowls on the table.

Then she went out to help her two older sisters wash their clothes.

Bai Jing didn't say anything about stopping them from doing it. After all, they were all family, and things should be shared by everyone.

It was the same before, and it will be the same in the future.

After tidying up the house, Bai Jing took the fabric and cotton she had agreed on with her mother the day before and planned to go to the back street to find Granny Li.

Bai Yong was the happiest. As soon as he heard that they were going to find Li Dazhuang's grandmother, he skipped and hopped ahead to lead the way.

Ever since Bai Jing developed the Rejuvenating Formula, her family has been using it non-stop.

Although it is not taken internally, its external application is quite effective.

In at least a month, the whole family has changed a lot.

Not only that, even Cui Cui and her second and third aunts are all looking radiant with the spirit of the New Year.

One can imagine how eye-catching these four elegant people would be walking down the alley.

Those who knew them knew they were from the house in front; those who didn't asked around.

Arriving at the back street, it was obvious that the living conditions here were not as good as those in the front.

The streets were not only bumpy and uneven, but also dirty everywhere, which made Bai Jing somewhat disgusted.

But Xiaoyong walked very naturally, which shows that he had walked this road many times.

They arrived at Granny Li's house quickly.

"Dazhuang, Dazhuang, I've come to play with you." Bai Yong's loud voice rang out in everyone's ears as soon as he arrived in front of the Li family's door.

The door was not closed. The Li family did not live in a courtyard house, but rather in a single-story house surrounded by a fence.

It's clear that the Li family are locals, and only locals would own so many properties.

Otherwise, like the tenement building not far ahead, it's a unit-allocated apartment.

Soon, a thin little boy opened the fence gate. "Xiaoyong, Xiaoyong!" The little guy was overjoyed to see his good friend. "Why did you come here?"

He recognized the women behind Xiaoyong; they were Xiaoyong's sisters.

"Hello Dazhuang, I'm here to see your grandma. Is she home?" Bai Jing, the older sister, should speak up now so as not to frighten the child.

When Dazhuang heard that they had come to see his grandmother and saw what they were carrying, he immediately understood why they had come to see his grandmother.

"Grandma's home, she's home! Sisters, come in quickly, it's cold outside." Despite his small stature, Dazhuang is very well-behaved, which shows that Grandma Li has raised the children very well.

This child has a hard life. His mother ran away, and his father is such a scoundrel. Luckily, he has a grandmother, otherwise, I don't know what kind of life this child would have.

"Okay, thank you, Dazhuang." Bai Jing took out four milk candies from her pocket. "Here you go."

Dazhuang wanted to refuse, but Xiaoyong made the decision for him, "Take it quickly, this candy is delicious, it tastes different from White Rabbit candy."

This is a new flavor that my older sister brought back from City A. He's tried it, and it's better than White Rabbit candy.

After saying that, Xiaoyong put the candy into Dazhuang's pocket.

Da Zhuang didn't even have a chance to refuse.

Grandma Li also heard the commotion in the courtyard. She came to the door of the main room, saw the group of people coming in, and smiled: "Hello, are you here to play with Dazhuang?"

Grandma Li's back was hunched over, showing how much life had taken its toll.

"Hello, Granny Li." Bai Jing and the others greeted Granny Li immediately upon seeing her.

"Okay, okay, okay, it's cold outside, let's come inside." Grandma Li looked at the snow on the ground and waved to the group. The others glanced at their eldest sister, and seeing her take the lead, they happily followed her inside.

The room was clean, but also very simple.

Besides a large table and a few chairs pasted together, there was only an old-looking cabinet and a brazier burning in the room for warmth.

Once inside, Bai Jing didn't mince words and directly stated her purpose.

Upon hearing that business had come to her, Granny Li's smile deepened, the lines on her face expressing her joy and excitement.

That's all the skills she has. She earns a living by doing odd jobs for her neighbors.

After explaining her request, Bai Jing gave the items to Granny Li.

She had given a lot and wanted Granny Li to speed things up, but now she didn't want to make that request anymore.

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandma Li. We're not in a hurry; we just need to be able to wear them before the New Year." These fabrics are all bright colors, and they are new clothes for the family members for the New Year.

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem, I'll definitely make it thick and sturdy for you." Grandma Li hadn't touched such good material in a long time, and for a moment she was reluctant to put it down.

Granny Li used to be a maid in a wealthy family, so her skills were naturally superb.

Even though they've gotten older, they haven't lost their skills.

"Thank you, Granny Li. This is the payment." Bai Jing handed over the agreed amount of money. She didn't give more than she was entitled to; someone like Granny Li would never take more than she was entitled to.

"Okay, thank you then."

After finishing her business, Bai Jing was about to go back when she saw Xiao Yong playing happily with Da Zhuang. So she said, "Xiao Yong, we're going home now. What about you? Are you going to play here or come back with us?"

Hearing that they were going back, Dazhuang felt a little disappointed, but he didn't stop Bai Yong.

When he heard Xiaoyong finish speaking, Dazhuang's smile became even wider.

"I'm not going back. I'll play with Dazhuang a little longer. Big sister, you guys go back first. I'll go back later."

Bai Jing nodded, "Okay." So she took out two yuan and gave it to Xiao Yong, so that if he didn't go back at noon, it wouldn't be a burden on his family.

Xiao Yong naturally accepted the money handed to him by his older sister.

Grandma Li was shocked by Bai Jing giving money. Is it really okay to give so much money to a child?
Bai Jing had no idea what Granny Li was thinking. After telling Granny Li, she left the Li family with her two younger sisters.

On the way back, Bai Jing thought about what her mother had told her yesterday, and then told her two younger sisters.

The two of them were overjoyed.

"Big sister, I want to go too! I want to go buy New Year's goods!" The little girl with white eyes lit up. Who could refuse the opportunity to go shopping?

"Okay, let's go buy New Year's goods together."

There are quite a few people who share the same idea.

This trip was destined to disappoint Bai Jing, because the supply and marketing cooperative didn't have what she wanted to buy, and she went to the meat processing plant, but well, there was no meat today.

Bai Jing was somewhat helpless and had no choice but to return empty-handed with her two children.

I didn't even have a taste for lunch.

"Big sister, why don't we get up early tomorrow and go to the meat processing plant? We should be able to buy some meat there." Bai Ling knew what her older sister was worried about.

Bai Jing nodded. "Okay, then I'll get up earlier tomorrow." That's the only way. If that doesn't work, she'll have to go find Uncle Zhong and the others.

Thinking of Uncle Zhong and the others, Bai Jing felt that if she had time tomorrow, she should go and see them.

Because of Wang Chang's matter last time, I'm afraid Uncle Wang's family has been under a lot of scrutiny, since that matter was related to foreign enemies.
