Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

41. Take a bath

Su Jinru went into the room, poured warm water from the space into a large basin, and gave Anran a bath.

Previously, the family didn't have the means, not even a decent basin, so Su Jinru could only wipe the child down haphazardly.

Now that she has bought a large basin, she plans to give her child a good bath every day.

After washing Anran, change the water and wash Anxin.

It was the first time the two children had used soap, and they held it under their noses to inhale the fragrance.

An Xin chuckled.

"Mom, I like taking a bath. It makes me feel nice and clean."

"Okay, okay, we're all clean now. You smell nice. Anxin is a sweet baby that Mommy loves and her brother loves too."

Su Jinru then dressed them in clean, soft, and comfortable cotton clothes.

Back then, children's clothes were made of 100% pure cotton, and they were incredibly soft.

The two children were very happy to wear their new clothes.

"We'll wear this new outfit at home, but when we meet people outside, we'll wear the old clothes."

"Are you afraid someone will steal our new clothes?" An Xin asked, her big, bright eyes wide.

"It's because I'm afraid others will be jealous."

What is jealousy?

"If you have something that he doesn't, he'll feel bad and he'll hate you. Some might even try every means to attack, hurt, or destroy you."

"This kind of person is terrifying!"

"Yes! It's scary, but there are too many people like that, so we need to keep a low profile and protect ourselves."

What does it mean to be low-key?

"It means keeping good things to yourself and not showing them off."

"So if we have delicious food, we can't let others know; if we have beautiful clothes to wear, we can't let others see them?"

"Yes, An Xin is quite perceptive."

What is comprehension?

"It means you can understand what I'm saying very quickly, you get it right away, which means you're smart."

"Mom is so smart, so Anxin and Anran are smart too, because we were all born from Mom!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the two little babies that Mom gave birth to are just as smart as Mom."

"Mom is very beautiful, more beautiful than the other children's moms."

Su Jinru smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared from her grin.

"Yes, only beautiful mothers can give birth to two beautiful babies."

Anran also said, "Mom is quite capable. Other kids don't have food or new clothes, but my sister and I do."

Su Jinru's heart was completely melted by their cuteness.

In her past life, she was always so busy, serving her in-laws and husband, and enduring Qi Zhengyang's cold stares. The atmosphere at home was always gloomy and oppressive. Later, she also had to take care of Qi Zhenglin's four children. She had never been able to lie comfortably in bed with her two children like this before, chatting freely and without restraint.

This feeling of complete relaxation from being well-fed and clothed, this unhindered communication with my child, this heart-to-heart dialogue—it's truly wonderful.

Su Jinru couldn't help but hug the two children and kiss them on the cheek.

"Mom is so happy to have you two little darlings. Thank you both for being my children."

An Xin: "We are also willing to be mother's children."

Anran: "We are also very happy to be mothers' children."

Su Jinru originally planned to bathe the two children and then let them go to sleep while she went to her space to farm, and then take another bath before going to bed.

Every night after her child goes to sleep, she spends an hour planting crops in her online space.

But today, she just wanted to spend more time with her two babies and talk to them about things, whether useful or not.

So time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Su Jinru asked, "Did Mom have many surprises for you today?"

The two children said "more" in unison.

Anran: "I love all these surprises today."

An Xin: "I like it too."

"I have another surprise for you."

The two children's eyes lit up: "What surprise?"

"Close your eyes, Mommy is going to do a magic trick."

The two children closed their eyes, and Anxin even covered her eyes with her chubby little hands.

Su Jinru took out a lantern from her spatial storage, which she had bought at the department store that day.

A kerosene lamp is an oil lamp covered with a glass dome.

Before, we didn't have an oil lamp at home, so we would go to sleep when it got dark.

Now we can use a kerosene lamp for illumination.

Oil lamps are divided into kerosene lamps and sesame oil lamps. Kerosene lamps use kerosene as the wick, while sesame oil lamps use sesame oil as the wick.

Kerosene lamps have a pungent kerosene smell and will leave people and houses covered in a layer of black soot, while sesame oil has no pungent smell and will not leave people blackened.

Su Jinru used sesame oil.

The two children found this very novel.

They had seen ordinary kerosene lamps, which had no shade and went out when the wind blew.

This kerosene lamp, with its wick lit by sesame oil, is not only resistant to being blown out by the wind, but it also won't blacken the glass cover.

The two children surrounded the lantern, looking at it from all angles, extremely excited.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, you two will start studying."

"The early bird catches the worm. Morning is when a person's mind is clearest and most alert. You should use this precious time to study. You can study or play in the afternoon, it's up to you, but you must use the morning to study. In this way, you won't waste a single day."

“Anran, tomorrow morning, make a study plan. No matter what you do, you must make a plan. With a plan, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Every morning, teach your sister first, then give her homework, and then you can study your own. I usually don’t interfere with you, but every evening after dinner, I will check your studies for the day. Anran, you can ask me any questions you encounter. Anxin, if you encounter a question, ask your brother. If your brother can’t answer, then ask Mom.”

An Ran: "Okay! Let me think about how to teach my sister."

"Then you lie in bed and think it over carefully. Anxin and I are going back to our room to sleep."

Su Jinru led An Xin, carrying a lantern, to their room.

Su Jinru carried An Xin to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and gently patted her daughter until the child fell asleep quickly.

Su Jinru got up, blew out the lantern, and entered the space.

There is no night inside the space; it is always sunny and clear. Time inside is different from outside, and you can adjust the temperature and climate yourself.

The space has been planted with rice for the second time, and it will be ready for harvest in three months.

This is the fourth harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have high yields and short growing seasons.

There's no need to plant anything during this period. Every time I enter the space, I just check how the crops are growing, and at most I water them and adjust the temperature.

The fruits in this space have the longest growing cycle; peach, pear, and apple trees all have a six-month cycle, meaning that you can only eat these fruits after six months.

In other words, we have to wait another three months before we can eat fruit.

Watermelons have a short growth cycle; they can be eaten after four months, and in another twenty days, they will be ready to eat.

The watermelon is already the size of a child's fist; in twenty days, it will be the size of a washbasin.
