70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 233: Kangkang Is Injured

Putting away the snacks, Li Caixia then went out to continue helping. The house rarely had so many guests, of course, she was happy, and these few were all with great potential, worth paying attention to.

The lunch was quite sumptuous; the little ones caught a lot of fish, cooked a large pot of fish soup, which was very delicious. There was also mushroom soup and some other dishes. The Xu Family usually didn’t eat like this; it was too extravagant.

"How is it? Do you like it? There’s nothing much at home," Madam Chen smiled at the three guests.

"Delicious, delicious, Madam Chen, your cooking skills are really great," Du Yu said without stopping, while still talking.

"If you like it, eat more; that’s all we have at home," Madam Chen said with a smile. In the countryside, that’s all there is, and the Xu Family’s situation was considered quite good in the brigade.

During the meal, Xu Mumu was also very happy.

After the meal, the little one in the room woke up, and Li Caixia swiftly picked him up. The little guy’s diaper was wet, so she cleaned him up and changed him into something dry.

After being fussed over for half a day, the little guy didn’t cry at all.

"Baby, come to dad for some formula," Xu Hai picked up his son.

The little guy didn’t understand what his dad was saying, but being lifted up made him happy, and he even tried to grab his dad’s hair.

Du Yu and the others didn’t stay at the Xu Family for long and went back. Although Yin Yang didn’t want to leave, seeing that Xu Mumu’s younger siblings had to start studying, it was quite boring for him as an outsider to stay there, so he should go back to decoct medicine for his grandfather.

After Yin Yang left, Xu Mumu felt a bit bored. When Yin Yang was there, they could chat a bit; now that he was gone, she felt somewhat at a loose end.

"Daughter, aren’t you going out to play today?" Seeing Xu Mumu sitting there idly.

"No, after a week of work, I’m tired, I’ll just rest for a while," Xu Mumu smiled faintly.

In the room, the sunlight came pouring in. The sun was just right, so Xu Mumu drew the curtains. These curtains were sewn from old clothes that couldn’t be worn anymore.

The sunlight was blocked, and she managed to take a rare nap at home; Xu Mumu fell asleep quickly.

When Xu Mumu woke up again, it was the crying of the child from the second room that woke her up.

Xu Mumu frowned a bit, having sweated quite a bit during her nap. She got up and washed her face, which made her feel a little better.

"What’s wrong with Kangkang? Why is he crying so hard?" Xu Mumu asked with a frown.

"Isn’t it just that Xu Xue, that clumsy girl, was feeding Kangkang some medicine, and the water was too hot, not taken away in time, and Kangkang reached for it and got burnt. She’s just so clumsy," Madam Chen was displeased. She had checked and Kangkang’s hand was red from the burn. Kids have tender skin, but luckily it wasn’t anything serious.

"Is Kangkang alright?" Xu Mumu was surprised.

"He’s fine," Madam Chen shook her head.

Since it wasn’t serious, Xu Mumu didn’t meddle. With Xu Xue taking care of him, Kangkang’s cries gradually subsided.

Once the little guy stopped crying, Xu Xue carried him out. Compared to Xu Mingfeng, who was only wearing a vest, this little guy was still wearing two layers of clothing.

Xu Xue was also a bit anxious, and she quickly headed to the clinic with the little one in her arms.

Not being able to fall back asleep, Xu Mumu went to the living room. The kids were still studying, not slacking off at all; their serious manner in studying was commendable.

Xu Mumu didn’t disturb them, just went to find her own books to read.

The little ones didn’t study for too long before stopping. It was time to go up the mountain. Tomorrow, Xu Mumu would need to take mushrooms to town, and they were about to go find some.

"Elder sister, we are going to look for Termitomyces mushrooms, do you want to come?" Xu Jiaojiao and the others had prepared their tools, carrying small baskets. They were also planning to gather grass for the rabbits; there were four big rabbits at home now, and they needed quite a bit of grass to feed them daily.

"No, you guys go ahead, don’t go too far," Xu Mumu shook her head, feeling a bit unwilling to move.

"Got it, elder sister," Xu Jiaojiao nodded, and since their elder sister wasn’t going, the little ones departed with their tools.

By the time Xu Xue returned, the kids at home were all out, only Xu Mumu was reading, and Xu Wan was cleaning the room.

"Sis, is little brother okay?" Xu Wan asked worriedly, looking at the little brother who had already fallen asleep.

"He’s fine, Doctor Chu prescribed some ointment for burns," Xu Xue shook her head, looking at her sleeping brother with soft eyes, then carried him to a room to sleep.

Xu Xue was feeling very unsettled. When she took her brother to see the doctor, she unexpectedly encountered someone who surprised her.

This person was the one she had previously reported and got sent to jail—the one who was her first husband in her past life.

He had already been imprisoned; how could he be out?

"Wanwan, look after little brother. I have to go out for a while," Xu Xue told Xu Wan. She couldn’t calm down at all and had to find out the truth.

"Ah, okay, sis, where are you going?" Xu Wan nodded, asking with some confusion. It was almost evening, and seeing her sister so anxious made her worry.

"I ran into a friend I know on the way back, going to talk to them. Nothing serious," Xu Xue smiled and then went out directly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Watching her sister’s hurried departing figure, Xu Wan lightly pressed her lips. She knew she never needed to worry much about her sister’s affairs; she should trust her sister.

What Xu Xue did after leaving home, no one knew, but she came back with a somewhat unpleasant expression in the evening.

They had dinner early in the evening, and Xu Minghui went to the transport team after eating. He had work to do early the next morning and couldn’t wait until then to go. Before leaving, he took the stack of books Xu Mumu had asked him to review, and he left with a heavy backpack.

The little ones had quite a good harvest today; they organized everything before going to bed, so when Xu Mumu went to work the next day, she could just take these things with her.

The kids were quite considerate, and Xu Mumu’s lips curved slightly.

After sleeping a bit in the afternoon, Xu Mumu didn’t feel like sleeping, so she lit a kerosene lamp and read in her room.

Looking at the kerosene lamp, Xu Mumu felt a bit helpless. The light was too dim, and after reading a while, her eyes started to feel strained. To care for her eyes, she blew out the kerosene lamp. The room was filled with the smell of kerosene, so she opened the window, waiting for quite a while until the smell dissipated completely.

Without a light, without a mobile phone, life was really hard to endure, Xu Mumu thought as she lay in bed.
