Quickly wear it with your skills

It wasn't that there weren't better options, it was just too hot and she couldn't eat. She went to the living room and saw that the children were gone, so she said nothing and went back to take a nap.

After taking a lunch break for more than an hour, she felt relieved from the fatigue of riding the bike. She washed up and came out, and then she heard voices coming from a utility room next door.

Lan Hanlu had been to that room and knew that although it was a storage room, it was also an activity room for several children. However, judging from the voices and movements, there should be quite a few people inside.

"Yun Tao, let me see your gun." A voice with a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Yes, yes, let us take a look. When your stepmother gets up, we can go out and play war." The voice sounded a little childish, but a little silly.

"Why play war? You must be crazy to go out and play war in such hot weather!" Yun Tao's arrogant voice came.

"I'm not saying this to Yuntao, but when did you become as delicate as a woman? You're still complaining about the heat. We don't go out to play often in the middle of the day."

The drake's voice came again.

Lan Hanlu deliberately made some noise in the living room, and the voices in that room immediately died down. Then came the sound of a door opening. "Auntie Lan, you're awake."

The other children quickly followed suit and greeted her. "Hello, Auntie Lan." To be honest, one of the children looked taller than her.

They are in adolescence, and they would feel a little embarrassed to see such a young and beautiful person appear in front of them.

Lan Hanlu tied up all her hair and fixed it with a hairpin. Normally, at that time, only older married women would tie their hair up.

But now that Lan Hanlu had her hair tied up like this, she didn't look old at all. On the contrary, the few strands of hair on her cheeks made her look even more charming.

A child would be a little reserved when seeing a strange, beautiful woman, so Lan Hanlu quickly broke the atmosphere. "Your friends are coming over to play. Yuntao has some candy in the cabinet. Take some out and share it with your friends."

At this time, a dark and strong boy stood up. He looked about the same age as Yuntao, and his hair was so short that he looked like a bald head.

"Auntie Lan, please don't be polite. We are all from the same compound. There is no need to say too much if we have a good time."

Yun Tao, who was carrying candies to share with the others, took over the conversation. "Aunt Lan's name is Zhao Guoqing, the youngest child in Aunt Erpang's family.

This pale, thin scholar over here is the youngest grandson of the Gu family, Gu Qing. "Gu Qing indeed has the scholarly aura as Yun Tao described."

As he spoke, he put his arm around a relatively short, dark and thin boy and said, "His name is Li Qijun, and he's Captain Li's son."

Although Yun Tao didn't explain it clearly, Lan Hanlu knew that this child was the daughter of the woman who had quarreled with her and made sarcastic remarks yesterday.

But the child was not born by that woman. That woman was also a stepmother like her, but that woman had bad intentions.

Fortunately, this kid has an older brother and an older sister who have grown up. The older sister is married, and although she is not around, she will not ignore her younger brother.

She had heard in her previous life that the woman had started to pinch and scold Li Qijun as soon as she got married. When Li Qijun's elder sister heard about it, she took a train and rushed over overnight.

As soon as he entered the house, he slapped the woman aside. Before her father could react, he beat her up. In the end, he said that if she took her brother away, half of his father's salary would be used as child support.

Otherwise, they will take care of Li Qijun themselves, but if Li Qijun says anything bad about his stepmother, don't blame him as an older sister for standing up for her brother.

The woman wasn't really stupid, so how could she let him take half of the child support? That was all for her future son, so she repeatedly promised to treat the child well.

My brother is in the army and is now a company commander. I heard that because of this incident, he beat up all the brothers and sisters from that woman's family and threatened to break her family's legs if this happened again. Only then did the matter come to an end.

Although his stepmother was not a good person, she was not particularly cunning either. Although he suffered some grievances, he did not suffer much.

This is also the reason why the child has a shadow on his stepmother.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and have fun. Don't worry about me. Which room is Miaomiao in? I'll go check it out." Lan Hanlu said with a smile.

But just as she finished speaking, she heard Miaomiao's voice. "Mom, I'm up. I need to go to the bathroom."

Lan Hanlu didn't bother to reply and quickly took Miaomiao to the toilet.

The boys were a little surprised. They were good friends with the Yun brothers and naturally knew Yun Miao's personality. He usually smiled when he saw them and rarely spoke.

Unexpectedly, in just three or four days, Yun Miao started calling that woman "Mom", and the two seemed to get along well.

When he brought Yunmiao back to the living room, they went to the storage room again after a few hours. Yunmiao looked there with longing eyes.

After all, children like to join in the fun and play with people who are not much older than them, so Lan Hanlu naturally took him there.

As I approached, I heard the boys chattering. "Yun Tao, if you don't believe me, I'll tell you. If I were a general, I'd take them with me..."

Seeing Lan Hanlu leading Yun Miao in, they stopped again. Lan Hanlu smiled and said to them, "Miao Miao heard you were talking about how lively it was and wanted to come over to take a look."

Yun Ling, who was tidying up on the side, heard it and hurried over to move a chair for Lan Hanlu. Lan Hanlu was not sitting but looking around, while Yun Miao had already started fiddling with those so-called toys.

The boys watched Lan Hanlu looking around the room without disturbing her and continued talking, gradually forgetting about her.

The house that Lan Hanlu looked at was about 15 or 16 square meters. The key thing was that there was a window on the south side, so there was good lighting.

The room was filled with handmade toys and models made from old radios, bicycle parts, iron sheets, and bullet shells that the children had collected.

Close to the wall, there was a square table with a broken leg that had been added later, though the workmanship was poor and looked rather shabby. Beside it were several stools of varying heights, also seemingly cobbled together.

Several boys were there, excitedly discussing how to lead troops in battle, and from time to time they would take out paper to write and draw.

Lan Hanlu gradually leaned in to listen to their discussion and suddenly said, "You won't come up with anything from this discussion. Why don't you make a sandbox? That way it will be easier to practice."

After hearing his words, everyone thought about it for a while, and finally Zhao Guoqing slammed the table and said, "Yes, we can make a sand table. I've seen it at my dad's place."

While Zhao Guoqing was talking excitedly, Gu Qing quickly stood up and shouted with Yun Tao, "Auntie Lan."

Lan Hanlu came up to them, completely disregarding her aunt, and joined them in the discussion. "Let's put a board here, make a sand table, and make some small flags for the red and blue armies."

She gestured as she spoke.
