Bai Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I'm eating eggs, you can have them."

"No, you haven't recovered from your illness yet. Eat it to replenish your body." Gu Xiaoli insisted.

Bai Ruozhen looked at her stubborn expression, shook his head and smiled, then took it. "Okay, thank you, Xiaoli."

Gu Xiaoli chuckled. She loved seeing her master smile the most. It was so beautiful. Eggs were a good thing here. She couldn't bear to eat them herself while her master was hungry.

Seeing Bai Ruozhen finish her meal in small bites, Gu Xiaoli very naturally brought her a teacup and handed it to her considerately, "Drink some water and eat slowly. I'll get it for you tomorrow."

The familiarity between the two made the other people in the room feel strange. It felt like Bai Ruozhen was not the older sister, but the younger Gu Xiaoli was the older sister.

But then she thought about it and felt relieved. Aren't they also playing the role of older sisters? She felt that they should be true to Bai Ruzhen and take care of her.

Tsk tsk, their Zhenzhen is such a lovable girl.

Several people looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

So Gu Xiaoli spent the entire morning taking care of Bai Ruozhen attentively and attentively. Everyone else was used to it, but Bai Ruozhen, who had been well-fed and well-clothed for several days, was a little uncomfortable. Bai Ruozhen silently despised himself in his heart, then resigned himself to his fate and picked up the jar to drink water.

Gu Xiaoli looked around, unable to bear the thought of her master suffering while she was idle. "Sister Zhenzhen, do you have dirty clothes? Let me wash them for you."

"Ah," Bai Ruozhen was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands, "I can wash it myself." Although she didn't know how to wash, the original owner knew how to wash it. Even if she occupied this body, maybe she would know how to wash it.

Well, to be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I haven't washed clothes in all these days except for when Li Qiulan washed them in the provincial capital. I just put my underwear in water, rubbed it up a lot, and then dried it.

But when Gu Xiaoli heard this, it didn't make sense.

Her master is so pitiful that she has to wash her own clothes. How did she survive for so many days? She doesn’t have enough to eat (automatically ignoring Bai Ruozhen’s big white steamed bun) and she doesn’t have warm clothes (she can’t see Bai Ruozhen’s new cotton-padded jacket and trousers at all), and she has to wash clothes in such cold weather. She is really pitiful.

If Gu Xiaoli hadn't remembered what Bai Ruozhen said, she would have burst into tears by now. Her master really had it very difficult.

"No, Sister Zhenzhen, I'll help you wash." Gu Xiaoli's voice was filled with tears. "The water is so cold, how can I let you wash? You're not well yet."

Bai Ruozhen opened his mouth and said, "I'm fine now..."

"No." Gu Xiaoli insisted, "They say that illness goes away like a thread being pulled out, and you are not fully recovered yet." As she spoke, she glanced at the place where Bai Ruozhen was sleeping, and saw a messy roll of clothes by the window. She climbed up, picked it up, and walked out.

"Xiao Li." Bai Ruozhen held her back, "I have to wash it myself."

"I don't care. I want to wash clothes now. I like washing clothes." Gu Xiaoli stubbornly brushed her hand away and went out with the clothes.

Bai Ruozhen shook her head, thinking that this was not a good idea. She was no longer the Empress, and if she really did nothing like before, she would not be able to survive. She hurried to catch up, thinking that she had to boil some hot water to wash in such a cold weather.

When they arrived at the kitchen, they happened to see Zhao Lai Di lighting the fire. Bai Ruozhen asked, "Why are you using our kitchen?"

There were many female educated youth among them, and cooking in one kitchen would inevitably be too slow, so they built two kitchens. However, Zhao Lai Di was not in their group.

Zhao Lai Di was caught and tried to put out the fire and get the water out, but Bai Ruozhen stopped her and said, "I need to use the fire, don't put it out."

"You want to use it?" Zhao Lai Di suddenly laughed, "I won't keep it for you."

As she spoke, Zhao Lai Di scooped a ladle of water from the pot to quickly put out the fire while Bai Ruozhen was stunned. Then she opened the lid of the pot, scooped out the hot water and poured it into the thermos.

"You are such a person." Bai Ruozhen laughed angrily, "You really don't realize you've been caught."

Zhao Lai Di picked up the thermos and walked around her to leave, saying proudly, "I used it, so what? No one saw it anyway. Of course, it's useless if you saw it. Our relationship is not good to begin with, and maybe you are the one who is bullying me."

Bai Ruozhen really had no plans to do anything. She felt helpless seeing Zhao Lai Di being so proud. She didn't want to get entangled with her. Her little Li was washing clothes for her in the cold weather, so she had to boil water quickly.

"Hmph." Zhao Lai Di walked out of the kitchen very proudly, and then saw Wei Nan standing at the door, looking at her coldly.

Zhao Lai Di smiled ingratiatingly, "Sister Nan Nan."

Wei Nan looked at her hatefully and said, "How shameful." He slammed the door shut.

Zhao Lai Di's smile froze, and she hurried back into the house, carrying the thermos. She really couldn't understand why Wei Nan scolded her. She had taken the initiative to boil water and used the firewood of other groups, saving their own group's. What was wrong with that?

Really.

Bai Ruozhen walked to the stove and looked at the fire that was still emitting a few sparks, feeling confused.

How to make a fire?

Bai Ruozhen dug through the original owner's memories, then recalled how Li Aihong taught them how to make fire, and gritted his teeth and took a piece of firewood and put it in the stove.

Oh, making a fire is such a pain.

Bai Ruozhen took the soybean seedlings beside him and stuffed them into the stove. He scratched them once but they didn't open. He scratched them again, but they still only sparked but didn't catch fire.

She couldn't help feeling a little depressed and almost threw the matches away, but when she threw it away, she suddenly remembered that matches were not cheap in this era, and she had to light a fire quickly because Xiaoli was washing clothes with cold water.

With trembling hands, he finally struck the match and stuffed the soybean seedlings into the stove. However, the expected flame did not appear, but instead a thick smoke poured out of the stove. Bai Ruozhen was unable to avoid it and was immediately choked by the thick smoke.

Bai Ruozhen finally experienced the feeling of coughing up tears. He ran out of the kitchen in a panic, tears streaming down his face.

Damn, why is it so difficult to make a fire?

When Gu Changqing came in from outside, he saw Bai Ruozhen's most miserable side. His face was black and tears were streaming down his face. His dark eyes were watery because of the tears. In his little face... he actually saw beauty in it.

Bai Ruozhen also saw Gu Changqing, and felt his heart broken. Ahhhhhhhh, her image, he wanted to cry.

Then the thick smoke choked my eyes and I started to shed tears.

Bai Ruozhen's face turned red.

Gu Changqing turned his eyes away slightly, wanting to laugh, but also despising himself.

What kind of look is that? He actually thinks such a dark face is good-looking. He must be blind.
