Chapter 151 Like an old father taking his child to kindergarten
Reading Settings
"Ta-da!"
Just as dawn was breaking, a soft knocking sounded in the alleyway of the side courtyard of the educated youth compound.
The little girl on the kang in the inner room twitched her eyebrows slightly, pulled the quilt over her head, and wrapped herself up in it.
The quilt, which had been puffing up, rustled twice and then fell silent again.
The person standing outside had already guessed the outcome, sighed helplessly, and raised his hand to knock on the door again.
"Little Bai, get up quickly, get ready and come over for breakfast, or I'll eat it all."
Upon hearing that there was food, the little girl in the blanket sat up immediately, her eyes still closed, and turned to shout towards the front door, "Coming, coming! I'm getting up now, save some food for me!"
Fang Meng chuckled lightly, "I know, get up and get ready, don't lie down anymore."
Otherwise, I'd probably fall asleep again.
Bai Nuo squinted, listlessly sitting in bed, and pulled up the pillow next to her, hugging it tightly and rubbing it vigorously.
Getting up early is so hard, so incredibly hard.
"Woo~" Little Fugui'er pawed at the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), stood on its two hind legs, and looked at Bai Nuo excitedly with its big round eyes, wagging its little tail happily.
"Coming, coming, sister is getting up now." Bai Nuo leaned over the edge of the kang and reached out to rub Xiao Fugui's head.
The mornings in Northeast China in May are still a bit chilly; once you get out of bed, you just want to crawl back in.
"Host, get up quickly. Go change your clothes and have the humanoids go out and fold your blankets."
The little system emerged from the space and gently nudged its lazy host.
The curtains in the outer room and the curtains in the front and back windows were drawn tightly, so the humanoids weren't afraid of being seen by outsiders when they came out. The system even gave the humanoids a girl's appearance. Although her face was still expressionless, she looked like a cool and aloof older sister.
"good!"
Bai Nuo nodded obediently, lazily moved to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), put on her slippers, and went to the changing room next door to change her clothes.
Today was another day of work. Because she had to clean the stables in the morning, Bai Nuo put on her durable work clothes and liberation shoes. She tied her two little pigtails with hair ties that Fang Meng had bought for her in the city, and clipped a long pink plastic hair clip on the right side with small flowers on it, making her look cute and pretty.
"The small handbag is all packed, with a clean handkerchief inside, three yuan added to the small wallet, and folded tissues in the small cloth bag."
There's also a small bag containing candy; remember to take it when you want some. There's also a paper package with some pastries; remember to eat those when you're hungry.
The little system was like a parent who was still a little worried about sending their child to kindergarten, standing next to the little bag and giving instructions one by one.
"There are also two hard-boiled eggs inside, which were boiled on the morning of September 25th. If you don't want any snacks, you can use the eggs. The kettle is also filled with warm water." After the little system finished speaking, it flapped its little wings to help its host tidy up its clothes, and then flew to the side to get the straw hat.
"I understand, don't worry." Bai Nuo nodded.
The two of them are never separated. Even when the small system goes back to the system space to recharge, they can still contact each other at any time.
But the little system would go through this process every morning without fail, and Bai Nuo, though helpless, was happy to indulge it and obediently listened to the little system's instructions.
"Oh right, the milk and the enamel basin." The little system suddenly remembered the host's instructions last night, and hurriedly went back into its space to put the heated milk into two enamel cups, and took out the enamel basin it had won in the lottery yesterday.
"Then I'll go back." Seeing that there was nothing he had forgotten, the little system took the humanoid robot, which had folded the blankets and cleaned the inner room, back into the space.
After Bai Nuo returned to the small system and the humanoid space, he opened the curtains of the inner and outer rooms, and then opened and tied the curtains of the front and back windows. He left the back window slightly open, about two fists' width, to keep the room ventilated.
Then Bai Nuo opened the front door, and a cool breeze blew in, instantly making her feel much more refreshed.
She turned around and fetched a basin of water to start washing up. She had already replaced the water in the water tank with spring water from her own space, which made cooking, boiling water, or washing up much easier.
Although the well water in the countryside is also good, and has a slightly sweet fragrance if you taste it carefully, it still can't compare to the mountain spring water in her space. Drinking it regularly is still very useful for beauty and skin care, promoting blood circulation, treating old ailments, and maintaining health.
Most importantly, it tastes great, without any of the dryness or unpleasantness of raw water. However, the little system is very strict and never lets her drink raw water directly. Even the spring water in the space has to be boiled before she can drink it.
Bai Nuo's way of washing her face was simple and crude. She bent over, put her face in the basin, scooped up a handful of water with both hands, and started scrubbing vigorously, scrubbing and scrubbing, without caring about the feelings of her tender face at all.
"I told you to be gentle, that face doesn't look like your own." Fang Meng leaned against the door frame, his arms folded and crossed in front of his chest, looking lazy and wicked, and amusedly watching the little girl rubbing her face.
Aside from his own daughter, he had never been close to any other young women. However, he had seen several of his aunts washing their faces at home, and they were so gentle, as if they were afraid of rubbing their skin raw. They would also gently wash with soap and then apply face cream or other skincare products.
Unlike his wife, who vigorously scrubs her delicate face without using soap or skincare products.
But...
Hey! It's still so delicate and fair-skinned, can't you believe it!
"It's fine as long as it's clean. My face doesn't get oily, so it'll be clean after a couple of washes." Bai Nuo picked up the towel hanging on the washstand and vigorously wiped her face a couple of times. She felt refreshed and energetic, and her skin seemed even fairer and smoother than usual.
"Second brother, take the milk over there. The enamel basin next to it is for you to use too." Bai Nuo still remembered that the two of them had a fight yesterday and broke Fang Meng's enamel basin. It just so happened that he had won one in a lottery yesterday.
"Okay, then lock the door when you come over, and don't forget your things."
"good!"
Bai Nuo responded, then turned around and went to the storeroom to take out the small basket containing Xiao Fugui'er. He bent down and called out, "Xiao Fugui'er, let's go. Let's go to Second Brother's house for dinner first."
"Woo~" Little Fugui ran over quickly and jumped into the small basket.
This small basket is similar in shape to a large fish basket. It can be carried, worn on the back, or hung next to the saddle. The bottom of the basket is lined with soft straw, and then a layer of cotton cloth is added, so that Xiao Fugui can lie comfortably inside.
