After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 475: I got an upset stomach from eating too much

Early in the morning, when Qingtian got out of bed, he found that Mrs. Ye was not in the room.

She raised her hand to touch her forehead, and found that it was covered with sweat, and her body also felt a little sweaty.

Qingtian turned her head and saw that Mrs. Ye had prepared the clothes she was going to wear today and placed them next to her pillow as usual.

But it was obviously different from what she wore yesterday. Both the coat and skirt were changed into tulle.

Because he was sweating, Qingtian was a little hesitant about whether to change into new clothes.

While she was still struggling, Mrs. Ye came in from outside carrying a copper basin.

"Oh, it's been a long time. You woke up on your own before your mother even called you."

As she spoke, she placed the copper basin on the stool beside the bed and came over to untie the belt of Qingtian's coat.

"Just now I felt that you were sweating a little, but since you didn't wake up, I didn't dare to lift the quilt for you, for fear that you would catch a cold.

"I know you don't like sweating, so I mixed some warm water and wiped you down. I'll give you a bath when we get back tonight, okay?"

"Okay." Qingtian obediently let Mrs. Ye wipe his body, and then changed his clothes with the help of Mrs. Ye.

After having breakfast with Mr. Cen, Qingtian was about to leave when Mr. Cen stopped him and hung something around his neck.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Qingtian looked down curiously and saw a very beautifully woven silk ribbon.

But the shape is a bit strange. There is no pattern on the middle part. It looks more like a small net bag.

"This is for your eggs."

As Mr. Cen spoke, he took out an egg from his arms and put it into the silk ribbon on Qingtian's chest, just enough to prop up the net bag in the middle.

"Grandpa, you forgot, I already had eggs this morning!"

Qingtian thought that these were the eggs that Mr. Cen asked him to take to the Qin family to eat.

"Didn't your mother tell you that today is the beginning of summer and all children should wear eggs.

"As the old saying goes, if you hang an egg on your chest during the Beginning of Summer, your child won't get summer heatstroke.

"This is for preventing summer sickness, please wear it carefully.

"You can also use it to fight eggs with others when you go out."

"Mom never told me that!" Qingtian held the egg in front of her chest. "What is a fighting egg?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye also said, "It's not that I didn't tell the child, I had never heard of this custom.

“When we were outside the Great Wall, every family lived in poverty.

"It's nowhere like the capital, where every festival and solar term has to be specially celebrated!

"The whole year is just about celebrating the New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cen quickly explained to Qingtian the gameplay and rules of egg fighting.

Looking at the old man and the young one, one talking seriously and the other listening attentively, Meng Yu smiled and whispered to Mrs. Ye beside him, "In order to ensure that Miss Qingtian can win the egg fight, the old man started picking eggs several days in advance.

"Don't underestimate the boiled egg hanging around Miss Sunny's neck.

"This is the best egg the old man picked out from hundreds of eggs. He cooked it himself early in the morning using spring water I brought back from the mountains outside Beijing yesterday."

"The old man really loves Qingtian!" Mrs. Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"The relationship between generations is no joke, let alone two generations apart, how can it not hurt!"

Over there, Mr. Cen finally explained everything to Qingtian.

"Remember it? Go ahead!"

Boss Ye had already prepared the carriage. He waited outside the door for a long time but his wife and daughter didn't come out. Just as he was about to go in to see what was going on, he saw Qingtian running out happily.

Mrs. Ye followed behind and repeatedly warned: "Don't run, be careful not to drop the eggs."

When Qingtian heard this, he quickly slowed down and looked down at the egg hanging on his chest.

"What's that?" Ye Lao Da asked curiously. "Just now I thought I saw other kids in the alley holding eggs and bumping into each other."

"These are the eggs that my great-grandfather hung for me." When Qingtian heard Boss Ye's question, she immediately started talking. On the way to Qin's house, she told Boss Ye and his wife in detail what Old Cen had told her.

"Dad, Mom, do you understand?" Qingtian asked before getting off the car.

"I understand, I couldn't understand it any more." Mrs. Ye quickly replied and poked Boss Ye in the back again.

"Dad understands, go in quickly, don't let Mr. Wei and Young Master Qin wait for you."

After watching Qingtian follow the gatekeeper of Qin Mansion into the house, the couple breathed a sigh of relief.

Ordinary people like them with little education are almost unable to keep up with Qingtian's thinking.

"It's the beginning of summer! The weather has suddenly become hot. I'm sweating even though I'm sitting in the carriage and doing nothing!"

"That's right! Even though it's morning now, I feel like the sun is even hotter than yesterday while I'm sitting outside driving. It's making me sweat a little!"

The couple each found an excuse and quickly raised their hands to wipe the sweat off their face.

Fortunately, the distance from Cen Mansion to Qin Mansion was not too far, so Qingtian did not have any extra time to ask random questions. Otherwise, the couple would not just have sweat on their foreheads, but would probably be sweating all over from nervousness.

After Qingtian entered the Qin Mansion, he followed the doorman to the study with ease.

As usual, Mr. Wei had not arrived yet, but Qin Hexuan had already arrived.

"Brother Qin!" Qingtian called sweetly and walked towards him quickly.

Qin Hexuan did not respond to her as usual. Instead, his expression froze. He wanted to turn away, but stopped abruptly.

Because Qingtian had already noticed the egg hanging on his chest.
