"Mom, it smells so good."

"I want to apply perfume too."

The two children were chattering. Yingying and Yueyue came over and sniffed Lanxin's face with their little noses. Yueyue saw that Lanxin didn't pay any attention to her, so she stuck out her tongue and licked Lanxin's face like she was licking candy.

The wet touch made Lan Xin's hair stand up all of a sudden. After realizing what it was, she shouted angrily.

"Zhou Yue!"

Lan Xin gritted her teeth. What's wrong with this little girl? She's so grown up, yet she can still do such childish things.

After licking Lan Xin's face, Yueyue ran away mischievously. Now she was spitting out the saliva in her mouth, her little face looked as bitter as a bitter gourd, and she spoke pitifully.

"Mom, why does it smell so good but taste so bitter?"

The little fool who kept spitting made Lan Xin's anger disappear and she became speechless. She sighed.

"You little fool, these are all chemicals, the fragrance is artificial, how can you eat them? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from eating them?"

Logically speaking, he should be full by now, but why is this child still so greedy and puts everything in his mouth?

I should buy them some snacks to satisfy their hunger. Lan Xin remembers that she also loved snacks when she was a child and she would spend all her pocket money on them.

Lan, the incompetent new mother, made up her mind and decided to make some snacks for them to satisfy their cravings.

"What is chemical agent? Is it medicine?" Yueyue asked with a bitter face.

Turns out it’s medicine, no wonder it tastes so bitter.

"That's about it. You will understand this knowledge when you enter junior high school." Lan Xin said, looking at the two children's curious expressions, and stretched out her hand to greet them.

"Come here, mom will give you some perfume."

Lan Xin looked for it and found that she had bought some vanishing cream for her two children to use as baby cream, but she had never had time to use it.

Every time she applied these things before going to bed, the two little girls had already fallen asleep. This was the first time they saw Lan Xin applying these things like this, and their new curiosity made Lan Xin remember that she had forgotten something.

Two little girls, one tall and one short, stood straight in front of Lan Xin. After comparing them in the dim light of the light bulb, she found that both children seemed to have grown a little taller over this period of time.

This is Lan Xin's feeling, but she is not sure whether it is higher or not.

Well, we can draw a height scale for them, so that we can know whether they have grown taller and how much they have grown.

Not to mention the issue of height, just from the naked eye, both children have gained a lot of weight. Bai hasn't gained weight though. As soon as they returned to Lanjia Village, they ran around everywhere with the other kids in the village. It was not enough for Yueyue to run by herself, she also pulled Yingying to play with them.

Yueyue was also there when she saw the doctor in Shanghai. She heard the doctor say that Yingying's body needed a small amount of exercise, more food and meat, and then taking medicine, and then her body would become strong.

Yueyue kept it in mind, so now whenever she goes out to play, she always brings Yingying with her. And with Yingying around, in order to take care of her younger sister, she doesn’t run around with the other kids in the village like she used to.

Lan Xin saw it a few times, and seeing that Yingying was alive and well and nothing was wrong, she just let them be.

Looking at her now, Yingying has become much darker, but she is stronger and has more flesh.

Lan Xin opened her hands and kneaded Yingying's face with her palms. She felt that there was more flesh on her little face and it felt very good. She asked with a smile.

"Yingying, are you tired from playing these days?"

Yingying tilted her head back and closed her eyes, while Lan Xin was still kneading her face as she answered incoherently.

"No, I'm not tired." After saying that, Lan Xin's hand was covered with saliva.

Every time after playing she would be sweaty and sticky and feel uncomfortable. She wanted to continue sitting in the house, but her sister stared at her, making it difficult for her to refuse her request, so she had to go out with her to play.

e=(′o`*)))Oh, my sister is so hard to please.

"If you're not tired, then let's go play together. Remember not to go out when the sun is shining brightly." Lan Xin nodded and wiped her saliva. Then she remembered to remind her, "You can't get close to the river and play in the water. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know!"

Seeing that Yingying had finished applying the perfume, Yueyue replied happily, then closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and put her face in front of Lanxin.

"You." Lan Xin nodded helplessly, washed her hands, scooped a small spoonful of vanishing cream with her fingers and applied it on Yueyue's face, spreading it evenly.

As she applied the makeup, she chattered away.

"It smells so good, just like flowers. Mom, will I smell as good as flowers after I apply this?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

These little girls, why are they talking so much? Lan Xin felt like she was going to have hallucinations.

He quickly applied the stuff on Yueyue and washed his hands, then pulled Yingying and Yueyue over and asked them to stand up straight against the door frame.

Lan Xin used her fingernails to mark their heights on the wood.

"From now on, we will mark the height every six months."

Looking at the two scratches, one high and one low, on the wooden door frame, Lan Xin felt full of accomplishment.

"Okay, go to bed."

……

Time passed day by day, and the sisters-in-law and aunts from the village who came to help were very skilled and quick in their movements.

Although we were paid on a daily basis, we never thought of slacking off to delay our wages. Instead, we worked a little longer every day.

A week later, the twenty boxes of things and several large bags of scraps of cloth turned into large bags of hair loops.

On the day of finishing work, several sisters-in-law were still reluctant to leave. They wiped their sewing machines again and again and swept the floor again and again.

Some people even took brooms and cleaned Lao Lan's yard inside and out. No matter how people tried to stop them, it was useless.

Lan Xin could only helplessly promise: "Don't worry, sisters-in-law, if there is work in the future, I will definitely look for people from my own village, and I will definitely lead the village to get rich together."

"Lan Xin, I will remember your words." Hearing Lan Xin's assurance, the sisters-in-law present smiled brightly and moved their hands faster.

In the end, not only was Lao Lan's yard swept, but the house was also swept. Even the thatched shed that had been there for many years was cleaned to a shine, and all the cobwebs and dust on it were gone.

After finishing all this, they carried the sewing machines home with today's five-dollar salary in their pockets.

Lan Xin looked at the several large bags of hair bands placed in the thatched hut, and her eyes became determined.

"Tomorrow is a good day to deal with these hair circles."

"Sisters-in-law, I originally wanted you to take a break after you finished all this work, but I didn't expect to trouble you after all." Lan Xin said to Chen Baoni and several sisters-in-law.

The day after tomorrow is the day to sell goods in the provincial capital's department store. Tomorrow they will have to transport the goods over and make preparations. Selling these things will still require the help of Chen Baoni and other women.

After all, these are girls' things. If a man were to sell them, he might not dare to approach. If they are both women, they can be closer.
