Chapter 267 Cannot Be Wasted
He looked at Gu Jiao'er with some concern: "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Did you get a frostbite on your throat while you were outside?"
Huani suspected that Gu Jiao'er had also frostbitten her throat. Just as she was about to go out and call Lin Cai, her clothes were grabbed.
"No, I'm fine."
The sound was very soft, but still audible. After hearing the sound, Huani breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why didn't you answer me earlier? I thought you hurt your throat. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
"Is there any water? I'd like some water."
Gu Jiao'er didn't want to make a request, but her physical needs made it impossible for her to uphold her pride!
When Huani heard that she wanted water, she pulled the blanket in front of her up a little tighter: "Are you thirsty? Wait a minute, I'll go get you some hot water."
Gu Jiao'er leaned against the bed and waited for a while before Huani came in from outside carrying a bowl of steaming water.
"It's so cold outside. Drinking something hot will warm you up. Here, it's not too hot anymore, you can drink it while it's still warm."
Gu Jiao'er took the bowl from Huani, held it with both hands, and took a small sip. She immediately tasted the sweet flavor.
Huani looked at Gu Jiao'er with a smile: "You tasted the sweetness, didn't you?"
"That's sugar water with honey in it, and it's honey that Cai Cai brought back from the mountain. It tastes really sweet."
Gu Jiao'er was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She had been opposing Lin Cai all along, and many things she had done behind the scenes.
Lin Cai must know all those things. Doesn't she care at all?
She was still worried that Lin Cai would find out and throw her out when she heard, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what should we do here?"
"I'm completely confused! Come over and teach me!"
It was Xiaochunhua's voice. She hadn't gone out to play these past few days because of the snow; she had been staying indoors reviewing the embroidery she had learned.
The little girl promised Lin Cai that she would embroider a purse for her, and it had to have a pretty pattern on it. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chunhua finally came up with an idea: to embroider a forsythia flower on the purse.
However, the forsythia is not easy to embroider. She has been busy for a long time but has not even finished the outline, so she has to ask for help!
Although Huani hadn't studied for very long, she was quick-witted, skillful, and remembered a lot. She hadn't forgotten any of the patterns and techniques she had learned.
Upon hearing Xiao Chunhua's voice, Huani looked at Gu Jiao'er, who was still drinking water. Gu Jiao'er knew she had delayed someone, so she quickly finished her water and handed the bowl to Huani.
"Can I sleep a little longer?"
"Sure, sure, of course. You can rest for a bit. If you need anything, just call me loudly. I can hear you from over there."
Gu Jiao'er nodded to indicate that she understood. Huani saw that she had lain down, opened the curtain, and went out.
As soon as they entered another room, Xiaochunhua said somewhat unhappily, "Sister-in-law, why are you so nice to her? She used to be so wicked!"
"He bullies Third Brother all the time, and he bullies me too. He's so annoying, so annoying..."
"Chunhua, that's your cousin."
"So what? I'd rather not have such a wicked cousin."
"She's so vicious and wicked, she would never be my cousin, and I don't want to call her that..."
"Gu Chunhua!! What are you saying?"
Before Xiaochunhua could finish speaking, a voice interrupted her. Upon hearing the voice, Xiaochunhua quickly covered her mouth.
"It's hopeless, hopeless, my acne is hopeless." Seeing Lin Cai come in from outside, Xiao Chunhua repeated with certainty, "It's hopeless, my acne is hopeless!"
Hearing the little guy's unclear speech, saying that he hadn't said anything, Lin Cai went over and flicked Xiao Chunhua's nose.
“Your sister-in-law is right. No matter what, Gu Jiao’er is still your cousin. You can’t say that, understand?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chunhua lowered her hand and looked at Lin Cai with a puzzled expression: "Why?"
"She's clearly a bad person, and she's not nice to us either, so why can't I say it?"
After hearing what Xiaochunhua said, Lin Cai carefully explained to the little girl why it was not allowed.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the child is too young and needs adults to help guide them in distinguishing right from wrong. Even if others make mistakes, adults should teach the child how to act and how to deal with them correctly.
Gu Jiao'er slept in her room for half a day. When she woke up, she didn't even know what day it was outside. Hua Ni brought her a bowl of white porridge.
"Miss Gu, you're awake? I was just about to call you."
"I've brought you a bowl of plain porridge. Drink it while it's hot."
Huani brought the white porridge over and handed it to Gu Jiao'er. It was called white porridge, but it was actually just some rice and some coarse grains, mixed with some mashed potatoes.
The sticky, gooey half-bowl was presented to Gu Jiao'er in her hands.
Seeing that the food in the bowl was untouched, Huani assumed that she didn't want to eat it, and then said, "Miss Gu, I'm sorry, this is the best food we have at home right now."
"You know how tight the food supply has been at home lately, we're just like that..."
"No, I don't dislike it, it's just that I have too much. Is it enough for you?"
Normally, she definitely wouldn't say something like that; she probably wouldn't ask others if they had enough to eat or if they had any food at all.
Hearing Gu Jiao'er's question, Hua Ni smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there's more outside. Half a potato plus some coarse grains, enough to cook a pot."
"If there are no problems, Miss Gu, please eat first. When you're done, leave the bowl there, and I'll come in and get it in a bit."
Gu Jiao'er nodded, indicating that she understood. As soon as Huan Ni walked out, tears welled up in her eyes.
On the other side, Scarface saw that Huani had returned and asked, "How is she? Is she feeling better now? Has she eaten anything? Is she able to eat what she's eating, otherwise..."
"Or what?"
Lin Cai looked up at Scarface: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
"I haven't forgotten, I'm just worried..."
Scarface couldn't finish his sentence. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just follow the rules!"
Anyway, as long as the person is still alive, he can just raise him himself and make sure he's healthy and plump!
Xiao Chunhua pouted unhappily when she saw the porridge in the bowl. She hadn't eaten porridge like this since her mother got better, and now that she suddenly saw it, she couldn't bring herself to eat it.
When Sanhu saw his younger sister poking at the porridge in her bowl, he grabbed her hand and said, "If you don't want to eat it, you can put it down, but you absolutely cannot waste it."
