Transmigrate to the ’80s to Be a Stepmother - Chapter 41

“Big Mao’s child should be called Xiao Mao!” Ping Ping held the little black cat in his arms, his eyes gleaming with sparkling light.

“It’s called a preserved egg!” An An pointed to its eyes and said, “It’s black and yellow, and it’s still so round, let’s call it a preserved egg!”

Gu Qinghai bent down to look at the kitten, and said, “The nose and paws are all black, and the whole body is so black that it doesn’t look like a briquette?”

Good guy, the three names are very distinctive, Qin Shi and Lu Zetian looked at each other, they didn’t know which one to choose.

“Discuss with yourselves first.” Lu Zetian picked up the pole again, and stopped entangled with them.

The three children looked at Qin Shi, but Qin Shi didn’t do anything else, so he could only change the subject: “It’s cold outside, the kitten can’t stand it, let’s go into the house, let’s make a nest for it.”

“The name… decide slowly.”

The three children had nothing to say, and they entered the house together with the little black cat in their arms, and then they didn’t know where to put it.

“Mom?” The twins looked at Qin Shi again.

Qin Shi could only find a worn-out piece of clothing, put it on the ground in a ball, and asked them to put it on it.

The kitten’s lanugo was blown and looked a little sparse. The children were worried that it was cold.

The kitten that was placed on the ground arched its clothes, drilled and smelled, and crawled dishonestly. When it got off the clothes, the twins let out an exclamation, and immediately hugged it back on the clothes.

“It’s okay, let it crawl, as long as it doesn’t get under the sofa or the cabinet,” Qin Shi explained to them: “For the kitten, our house is completely unfamiliar, it needs to explore the new environment, and it will not move when it gets familiar with it.” will run around.”

“But the floor is cold, will it catch cold?” Pingping looked worried, “It has too little hair, winter is coming soon, will it catch a cold?”

Qin Shi said with a smile: “This cat is too small, and its fur has not yet fully grown. It will definitely be cold. Let’s make a nest for it and spread clothes, so that it will not be afraid of the cold in the nest.”

During Lu Zetian’s National Day, the army distributed a box of apples. Qin Shi took out the remaining apples, vacated the box, poked them with scissors, and made a cat litter.

The cat was put in, and it scratched everywhere, trying to get out of the box, but it couldn’t get up. But it didn’t give up, and kept climbing up, looking very energetic and resilient.

Qin Shi raised her eyebrows, thinking that this cat looks very lively, so it shouldn’t be difficult to raise, right? I don’t know where Lu Zetian picked him up, but he is only a month old, are you weaned?

Qin Shi asked the children to play with the cat, and went to clean up the sheets and quilts to be washed. She wondered in her heart that there was no goat milk cat food, so what would such a small cat eat?

Soon, Aunt Zhao came to the door with a bowl of small oranges. She heard that the twins were sick, so she came to see them.

Qin Shi recounted everything that happened yesterday, and took Aunt Zhao to see the children and the cat. After chatting for a while, after Lu Zetian filled the big water tank with water and picked out enough sheets for the first round of washing, Qin Shi went out to work, and Aunt Zhao left.

“Auntie, I’ll bring all the sheets and quilt covers later, and wash them all at once.”

“Okay!” Aunt Zhao was not polite to Qin Shi, and started to tidy up after returning home.

With Lu Zetian around, Qin Shi’s work was much easier, and she didn’t have to do any of the hard work.

After washing at my own house, I washed Aunt Zhao’s. The washing machine was spinning for half an afternoon. I passed by and saw two big washing machines, so I came in and took a look, wondering if I could rub the washing machine.

But no matter how much she tried, Qin Shi pretended not to understand. Smart people knew what she meant, so they didn’t say any more. Of course, there are also thick-skinned ones who ask clearly when they can’t hint at it. Qin Shi also directly refuses, without beating around the bush.

Those people didn’t expect Qin Shi to be so tough, and they just said no to borrow without saying anything. They were embarrassed and annoyed, but Qin Shi didn’t bother to talk to them.

I don’t even know who you are, so why should I lend it to you? This washing machine is not cheap, Qin Shi herself is a bit reluctant to use it, so give it back to them?

Even if you want to improve the relationship between neighbors, you can’t use the washing machine to do it. How expensive this thing is! Qin Shi borrowed it from them because she was crazy.

To put it bluntly, so what if you have a good relationship with them? What benefits can it bring? What can you do with a few cents?

Qin Shi is not the Holy Mother, and she is even a little helpless.

Everyone secretly thought that Qin Shi was selfish, but Qin Shi didn’t care at all, and instead became happy. After all, there would be no ghosts and snakes running to his house to borrow a washing machine.

After a busy afternoon, I just made do with the dinner in the evening, reheated the leftovers, and did not re-do anything else.

As for the cat, Qin Shi asked Lu Zetian and knew that it was just one month old, and it was enough to wean it and eat some soft and rotten rice.

The cats of this era are different from the cats of later generations. They are all very rough, as long as they don’t starve to death.

Qin Shi was afraid that the cat had just been weaned, and the stomach would not be able to adapt to the food, so after two days of observation, nothing happened, and she was relieved.

The children of Black Cat and Li Hua are strong and durable.

And it is very lively, crawling around in the box all day, and it is about to come out. The children took it out for a while every day, and it ran around, never resting for a moment.

It especially likes to go to corners and corners. It doesn’t know what is attracting it, so it goes straight to the corner when it comes out, and always has to stare closely at it.

Otherwise, if you get under the sofa and don’t come out for a long time, you can kill the dragon and the phoenix.

As for the kitten’s name, the three children struggled for several days and still haven’t decided on it. They all wanted to ask themselves to choose it, but they couldn’t agree with each other after arguing, and then barked.

Pingping called it “Xiaomao”, An An called it “preserved egg”, Gu Qinghai called it “briquette”, it may be too small, it doesn’t respond to anything, it is very selfish.

The children discussed it for a long time, but they still decided to call it that. They decided to see who it should be called in the future, so they would call it whatever name, which made Qin Shi very happy.

Qin Shi thought that briquettes sounded nice, so she also yelled after Gu Qinghai, causing it to quickly become familiar with the name, which made the dragon and phoenix feel lost for a long time.

But the kitten is too cute and young, twins have to take care of it all the time, and they don’t care about being lost for a long time, so they quickly adjusted their mood and started playing with it.

With the briquettes accompanying the twins, Qin Shi was a little relieved when she went to work, because she knew that the twins would never go out to play, and would definitely play with briquettes at home.

Qin Shi didn’t take an order for clothes recently, and she refused when someone asked her to make a woolen coat, and concentrated on making jackets for her family.

City X’s autumn is too short, it feels like it’s not even two weeks before the temperature suddenly drops and turns into winter.

Underwear, autumn clothes, sweater and coat, both children and adults wear very thick, very bloated, without any image.

This will ignore the image and dress, the temperature drop is too sudden, if you don’t wear thicker clothes, you will get cold and cold, the image is not as important as the body.

Every day when Qin Shi wakes up with three layers of clothes inside and outside, she misses the thermal underwear and down jackets of later generations, but they only became popular in the 1990s, so don’t think about it.

Next year, next year we must make down jackets!

Qin Shi made up her mind and her face was firm, but as soon as she opened the door, she took a big mouthful of cold wind, shivered from the cold, and shrank her neck instantly.

It was too cold. I listened to the radio last night, and today it was several degrees. This made Qin Shi, who had been in the south in her previous life, unbearable.

Qin Shi asked Lu Zetian to set up another stove in the living room, and turn it on every day when he woke up, so that the house would be warmer before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

The children are also afraid of the cold, but they are used to it, and they are a little surprised to see that Qin Shi can’t stand the cold.

An An even muttered, “It turns out that mom has something to be afraid of too.”

Qin Shi sighed when she heard this, she was not afraid of the sky, the earth, but the cold and the heat, and in City X, it was extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter, it was really terrible.

When did the heating come on? Qin Shi thought hard for a long time, and when he learned that heating only started to appear now, and that centralized pipe heating systems appeared in more than forty cities in the north after the 1985 Five-Year Plan, he let out a long sigh.

This will have to wait for two years, and it is impossible in a short time.

There is no kang at home, so I rely on a stove during the day and an electric blanket to sleep at night. Without a stove, the house is freezing cold, and I have to wear a coat at home.

Qin Shi took a break from her busy schedule and began to draw room design drawings while she was making clothes.

There is no way to decorate it now, so we have to make one for Kang, right? Free up the big bedroom, repair a kang first, and start the major decoration after winter and spring.

During the period, Mo Ling came over. She had just finished dealing with the mess recently. She was about to ask Qin Shi to get together with Song Sinuo, but Song Sinuo went to Shenzhen City, and Qin Shi was also busy making clothes for her family. , this matter can only be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it later.

Mo Ling patted a large bag of things on the table, “This is the thick woolen cloth I specially brought back. The quality is very good. Take a look.”

Qin Shi opened it and saw two kinds of cloth, red and black. After touching it with her hands, she immediately raised her eyebrows, “It’s a good thing! This is a coat, and it can be worn in winter.”

Mo Ling lifted her chin triumphantly, held a glass of water and said with a smile: “That’s right, I’ve let the boss down.”

“You make me a coat with the red one, and I give you the black one, how about it?”

Without even thinking about it, Qin Shi nodded directly: “Deal.”

This woolen cloth is thick yet soft, and of excellent quality. Mo Ling was really surprised to get Qin Shi. This fabric can completely offset her time-consuming and laborious workmanship in making the coat, and even took advantage of it herself.

After all, she can’t get this thing, there is no way at all.

“Is this what Song Sinuo found for you?” Qin Shi spread out all the cloth to see the size, and asked casually.

“No.” Mo Ling leaned on the sofa.

Qin Shi: “Who is that? You still have access to the textile factory?”

Mo Ling let out a “huh” and said, “Not really, a friend got it.”

Qin Shi looked at her expression and became interested, “Friend?”

Mo Ling tilted her head to look at Qin Shi, a little embarrassed but also confident, “Ang! Friend!”

“That means you haven’t become a regular yet.” Qin Shi started to gossip rarely, and asked, “Who is it? Tell me, I’ll be strict with you, don’t worry.”

Of course Mo Ling believed that Qin Shi’s mouth was strict, so she said without much hesitation, “Thanks to you, I became famous after the National Day, and many people chased after me, and he was one of them.”

“My name is Cheng Lan, 26, from out of town. He was just transferred here as a battalion commander.” Mo Ling rolled her eyes and said, “Although he promised to be promoted to the deputy regiment within three years, I still refused.”

“I’m going to venture out, so I don’t want to fall in love. I told him clearly, but I don’t believe that he said he would wait for me,” Mo Ling said with a disgusted expression.

But the voice changed, and he said: “He said that we should be friends first. He usually knows how to measure, and he is a reliable gentleman, so let’s be friends first. Anyway, when the time is up, everything will be clear.”

Qin Shi was relieved to hear this name, this is not Mo Ling’s husband in the book, the plot really changed.

Mo Ling has no intention of falling in love now, and Qin Shi didn’t say much, after all, it’s true to see people’s hearts after a long time, just wait.

There are so many men, just pick slowly, there will always be a suitable one.

The author has something to say:

When I was a child, I also wore jackets, one layer after another, and it didn’t hurt to fall in winter, because the clothes were too thick hhhh

One hundred red envelopes have been handed out~ I wish you all a safe and happy new year, academic success and sudden wealth!
