Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 61 Come and check it out

Zhou Xiaoyun's unremitting efforts in brushing finally saw some results. The newly grown front teeth are neat and white.

Zhou Xiaoyun finally started to speak with confidence, and actively raised his hands to read the text in class, which surprised Fang Wenchao. Only when he saw Zhou Xiaoyun showing two white millet teeth did Fang Wenchao realize that Zhou Xiaoyun's teeth had grown out.

Zhou Xiaoyun took the opportunity to instill hygiene habits into Xiaobao at home: "Xiaobao, you should practice brushing your teeth in the future. Look, are my sister's new teeth very white and beautiful?"

Xiaobao nodded after seeing it: "Well, my sister's teeth are much whiter than my brother's."

"That's because my sister insists on brushing her teeth twice every day, once in the morning and once in the evening. This is clean and hygienic, and the teeth that grow out are particularly neat and beautiful. Can you brush your teeth with your sister in the future?" Zhou Xiaoyun coaxed.

Not many children in rural areas have good hygiene habits. Many children don’t know how to brush their teeth until they are in their teens. Some children have yellow teeth when they open their mouths, and some have cavities. Zhou Xiaoyun didn't want his younger brother to be like this in the future, so he had to cultivate his hygiene habits as early as possible. Dabao only started brushing his teeth last year when he saw his sister brushing her teeth every day.

Xiaobao obediently agreed, but then he questioned: "Sister, don't you brush your teeth three times a day? Why are you telling me to brush your teeth twice now?" He saw with his own eyes that his sister had to brush her teeth after lunch. Two days ago, I heard from my mother that she had run out of toothpaste at home and had to buy new ones.

Zhou Xiaoyun blushed for a rare moment. This was because of his love for beauty. He had the nerve to tell Xiaobao: "Just twice is enough. You don't need to brush your teeth after rinsing your mouth after eating at noon. I...don't I just brush my teeth one more time?"

Xiaobao always listened to Zhou Xiaoyun's words, and when he got up the next morning, he started to learn to brush his teeth with his sister. He followed Zhou Xiaoyun to the water tank, scooped up a cup of water, squatted on the ground, brushed his teeth, and spit the water on the ground - there was no pool, only a small ditch dug by himself. It is estimated that most of Xiaobao's white and healthy teeth when he grows up are attributed to Zhou Xiaoyun.

Erya has a curious personality and wants to learn everything from her. Zhao Yuzhen bought the smallest toothbrush for her, and squatted next to her brother and sister in a decent manner to learn how to brush their teeth. Unfortunately, she was too young and swallowed the water after brushing her teeth into her mouth without knowing how to spit it out. Xiaobao was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand up.

Zhou Xiaoyun was also very angry and funny. He taught Erya step by step for a week, and finally the youngest Erya also learned to brush his teeth. From then on, a beautiful scene formed in the Zhou family. The four children from oldest to youngest squatted together and brushed their teeth. They brushed, brushed, brushed, and brushed again. It was interesting no matter how you looked at it.

Zhao Yuzhen thought it was funny at first, but when she ran out of toothpaste and went to buy it, she started to feel distressed. This was faster than the last time she used it!

Zhou Guoqiang couldn't see how Zhao Yuzhen was fussing over it: "How much is toothpaste worth? It's good for children to know how to brush their teeth and be hygienic. You are here to worry about the toothpaste money. You are really good at living."

Zhao Yuzhen was a little dissatisfied with being teased by Zhou Guoqiang: "Of course you can save a little in life. We have so many children who don't have to eat early and don't have enough to eat. Of course I also know that brushing children's teeth is a good thing, but just using a tube of toothpaste this week is not enough." It’s so fast. In the past, I only had one tube a month.” At that time, I used Limin’s hard tube toothpaste, which cost a few cents a tube. What I use to apply on my face is a "Peony" brand of packaged cream, which is also very cheap but has a fragrant fragrance and is suitable for all ages.

Zhou Guoqiang rolled his eyes helplessly, and went out to do some work on his tricycle without further arguing with Zhao Yuzhen.

Zhao Yuzhen grunted dissatisfiedly. How can a man live a life as careful as a woman? Daily household expenses such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt cost money.

 She called Zhou Xiaoyun, took out two dollars from her pocket and asked Zhou Xiaoyun to buy toothpaste and bring back a bag of ice cream.

As soon as Zhou Xiaoyun was about to leave, Xiaobao quickly ran over and followed him. Dabao couldn't stand Xiaobao's follower behavior and couldn't help but laugh at him, but Xiaobao ignored him.

Erya stopped and said, "Sister, I want to go too."

Zhou Xiaoyun thought she was walking too slowly and didn't want to take her with her, but Zhao Yuzhen said: "Da Ya, take Er Ya to the store as well, and use the money left after shopping to buy some food for Xiao Bao and Er Ya."

Dabao immediately regretted what he had just said. He held the words "I'll go too" in his mouth for a long time but couldn't say it out. He watched eagerly as Xiaobao and Erya followed Zhou Xiaoyun happily, not to mention the annoyance in his heart. .

There are several grocery stores in the village. They all sell daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, and ice cream. There are very few types of snacks.

However, in the eyes of children, they can happily hold a piece of candy for a long time. When they see the colorful candy wrapped in candy wrappers in the shop, they impatiently urge Zhou Xiaoyun to buy it.

Zhou Xiaoyun specially ran a few steps to Zhou Qianqian's house to pick up some things. Zhou Qianqian's family also runs a small shop. Since I have to buy things wherever I go, I decided to come and take care of the business of my good friend's house.

Zhou Qianqian was very happy to see Zhou Xiaoyun coming, and came over to chat with Zhou Xiaoyun.

Zhou Qianqian’s mother gave Zhou Xiaoyun the toothpaste and ice cream that Zhou Xiaoyun wanted to buy. Zhou Xiaoyun handed over two yuan and got eighty cents back. Zhou Xiaoyun bought two cents worth of candy for Xiaobao and Erya each. She thought she might as well give the rest The money was used to buy candies and put them in my pocket.

　　Waving goodbye to his companions, Zhou Xiaoyun took the hands of his younger siblings and happily returned home.

Dabao pretended not to care about the bulging candies in Xiaobao and Erya’s mouths, but he couldn’t help but glance over at them. The more I thought about it, the more I regretted not going along.

Zhou Xiaoyun put the purchased things at home and confessed to the busy Zhao Yuzhen: "Mom, the remaining money was spent on candy."

Zhao Yuzhen said "Oh", not feeling distressed this time. There are only a handful of opportunities for children to eat snacks. If the economy is better off, who wouldn’t want their children to live a better life?

Zhou Xiaoyun carried Xiaobao and Erya on his back and quietly stuffed the candy into Dabao's pocket. Dabao was surprised and happy: "You bought me candy too. That's great, Daya. Who dares to bully you in the future? Tell me Just say "Brother," and he will beat him immediately for you."

This IQ is basically on the same level as Xiaobao's, and Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but laugh.
