Chapter 144 Taking care of children

It was Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin's first time drinking formula milk. Smelling the milky aroma wafting from the enamel mug, both children showed expressions of curiosity.

When Su Nuannuan pushed two enamel mugs in front of them, they knew that the pretty older sister wanted to give them drinks.

The two children had never interacted with outsiders before and didn't know how to refuse. Their natural curiosity led them to take a bite.

Su Nuannuan watched with a smile as Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin drank milk powder from their enamel mugs. Seeing that the two were enjoying their drinks, she went to the kitchen.

Su Nuannuan can cook, but she doesn't plan to make anything too complicated. She plans to just cook noodles.

Taking out some greens, pork, and noodles from her spatial storage, Su Nuannuan planned to make vegetable and shredded pork noodles. First, she shredded the pork; since it was fresh, she could proceed directly. Then she washed the greens.

After preparing the ingredients, Su Nuannuan began stir-frying the pork. The kitchen had already been cleaned beforehand; sometimes when Su Nuannuan didn't have time to eat at state-run restaurants, she would cook something in the kitchen.

Su Nuannuan lit the stove first, and then started stir-frying the shredded meat. Once the meat was cooked, Su Nuannuan put it in a plate, and then added water to cook the noodles.

When the noodles were about 70% cooked, Su Nuannuan added the vegetables. After waiting a while longer, the noodles were fully cooked, and Su Nuannuan added the seasonings. Then, she added the stir-fried shredded meat.

The fragrant vegetable and shredded pork noodles were ready, and Su Nuannuan served three bowls. She first brought Tang Pengpeng's and Tang Xinxin's noodles into the main room.

By this time, the two children had finished the milk powder that Su Nuannuan had prepared, and there wasn't a single drop of milk left in the enamel mug.

Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin sat obediently on the sofa, clasping their little hands together.

After Su Nuannuan came in, both of them looked at her.

Su Nuannuan waved to them and said.

"Pengpeng, Xinxin, come quick."

The two children, having understood Su Nuannuan's gesture, jumped off the sofa and came to Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan placed the noodles for the two people on the table, then lifted them onto stools and sat them down, before gesturing to them with her hands.

She pointed to her face, then to her mouth.

"eat."

Then, she pushed the noodles in front of the two of them and put a pair of chopsticks in each of their hands. Worried that the other person might not be used to using chopsticks, Su Nuannuan also put a spoon in the bowl.

Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin only ate the dry cornbread left by A Qiu for lunch. In the afternoon, A Qiu had an accident, and the two children didn't get to eat dinner on time. They were already starving.

Now that they saw two bowls of fragrant noodles in front of them, they couldn't resist digging in.

After receiving Su Nuannuan's permission, Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin held Su Nuannuan's hands and began to eat noodles.

Su Nuannuan, whose hand was being held, was taken aback. Not understanding what the two children meant, she didn't pay much attention.

Seeing that the two children were quite adept at using chopsticks, Su Nuannuan felt relieved. She brought in her own noodles and ate with the two children.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Su Nuannuan was full. There was still plenty left in the two children's bowls, and Su Nuannuan waited for them to finish eating.

Although Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin are small, they eat quite a lot. They finished all the noodles, only a quarter less than Su Nuannuan. Su Nuannuan was surprised that they had finished all the noodles and touched their bellies, finding them bulging. Worried that they might have indigestion, Su Nuannuan told the two children to walk around in the yard.

The door was locked, but Su Nuannuan wasn't worried at all about the two of them getting out.

The two children were very well-behaved; they did whatever Su Nuannuan asked them to do. Even when they didn't understand Su Nuannuan's meaning, the two children still acted according to their own understanding.

After tidying up the kitchen, Su Nuannuan started boiling water.

The two children would definitely be sleeping with her tonight. Before they went to sleep, Su Nuannuan would definitely wash them clean. While boiling water, Su Nuannuan started looking for children's pajamas in her spatial storage.

Su Nuannuan went to the warehouse where the clothes were stored, found the children's section, and picked out two sets of children's shorts and short-sleeved shirts. These clothes were all made of cotton, which would not harm children's skin.

Besides pajamas, Su Nuannuan also found two sets of everyday clothes. However, these clothes were a bit too outrageous compared to the old clothes worn by children in this era, and Su Nuannuan was unsure what to do with them.

Suddenly, she realized that Chu Huaying was about the same height as Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin. The former was only slightly stronger than Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin, so the two children should be able to wear both of their clothes.

Thinking of this, Su Nuannuan decided to borrow two sets of Chu Huaying's clothes from Sister Yalan tomorrow. She certainly wouldn't borrow them for nothing; Su Nuannuan planned to exchange them for five feet of cotton cloth.

Besides clothes, Su Nuannuan also took out a children's soap and a towel. After preparing everything, Su Nuannuan poured the boiled water into a basin, then added cold water. When the water was no longer too hot to touch, she went to the yard to find Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin.

Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin listened to Su Nuannuan and stayed in the yard. The two children obediently stayed in the yard.

However, Su Nuannuan meant for the two of them to take a walk to digest their food. But they didn't understand Su Nuannuan's meaning and quietly squatted in a corner of the yard. If Su Nuannuan wasn't paying attention, she wouldn't have noticed that there were two children there.

Looking at Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin, who resembled two mushrooms, Su Nuannuan smiled helplessly.

"Pengpeng, Xinxin".

Hearing the familiar voice, Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin knew it was calling them. With Su Nuannuan waving at them, the two children quickly ran to her side.

During the meal, Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin had clearly been won over by Su Nuannuan. Now, the way they looked at Su Nuannuan carried a liking and dependence that neither of them realized.

Su Nuannuan took the two children's hands and led them to the bathroom. She showed them the two large basins placed on the bathroom floor.

Before Su Nuannuan could even speak, Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin broke free from her grasp and began to undress.

Su Nuannuan: !!!

Before long, the two children were completely naked. Su Nuannuan quickly recovered and gave the two children, who were already in the tub, a bath.

Although Tang Pengpeng and Tang Xinxin's clothes were a bit dirty, their bodies were clean. Su Nuannuan guessed that A Qiu bathed the two of them every day.

The weather was starting to get cooler, and Su Nuannuan was worried that the two children would catch a cold, so she quickly washed them clean. After drying them with towels, she changed them into the clothes she had prepared in advance.

The two children, dressed in new clothes, seemed to resemble the children from their previous lives.

Su Nuannuan didn't throw away their clothes; instead, she used the washing machine in her space to clean them.

Although these clothes had many patches, the fabric was of good quality, and they must have been bought for them by A-Qiu through his frugality.
