After dinner, the kids sat in a row on the sofa and ate the apples that their dad brought.
"Big brother, little brother, little brother, take the medicine while it's hot. It will be bitter if it gets cold."
My aunt brought in three bowls of black medicine on a tea tray, and my two brothers all wrinkled their noses.
Nuanbao took a curious look and watched as the three people drank the drink obediently despite having disgust and nausea on their faces.
In Yuan Yu's memory, the brothers in his uncle's family seemed to be in poor health and had to take medicine every day.
In the novel, it seems that my uncle was widowed and lost his wife and son, and was said to have a hard life and would bring death to those around him. My aunt's mother took her anger out on me and drove my uncle out of the Sun family.
Could it be that my cousins and my aunt had some kind of illness that caused them to die one after another? I wonder if the spiritual spring water would be effective in curing their illness?
Nuanbao made up his mind and slid down from the stool.
"Brothers, wait for Nuan Bao. Nuan Bao will give you some water to drink so it won't be bitter!"
The three cousins' wrinkled faces all relaxed upon hearing this.
"No, no, the kettle is heavy and I can't lift the water heater. Just go get it yourself."
The eldest brother stood up, walked towards Nuanbao with a smile, and hugged Nuanbao tightly.
Nuanbao clearly felt his elder brother's skinny body under his clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
The first and third brothers were not idle either. They rushed to the kitchen in tacit understanding, took out the teapot and teacups, and skillfully placed the cups for several people on the coffee table.
Nuan Dad knew his daughter's magical powers. He knew what she was up to when he saw her pleading. After all, he had watched them grow up, and seeing the three of them constantly ill and frail, he felt bad. If his daughter's magical powers were truly useful, it would help him, as a father, make up for all the years he owed his brother.
"It's okay. Your sister is well now. She can still do some small things."
While saying this, he picked up the teapot with his hands, and then let Nuanbao put his little hand on the teapot. Using his body to cover his face, he winked at Nuanbao frantically.
Nuanbao is not stupid either. He opens the lid of the teapot at the right moment and a drop of spiritual spring water drips into the teapot.
Seeing Nuan's father helping to pour water, the four brothers finally sat down around the coffee table with peace of mind.
Seeing that the four brothers were fighting over who should drink the first cup of tea, Nuanbao quickly picked up the teacup and brought it to Uncle.
"Uncle, you've worked hard, have some tea!"
Uncle didn't expect that he would have such an honor. After being stunned for a moment, he accepted it with a smile in the envious eyes of his aunt and four brothers.
"Thank you, Nuanbao!"
"You're welcome!"
Without giving his brothers a chance to fight for it, the first cup was handed to his aunt, and then to his four brothers from oldest to youngest.
"Hey, Mom, did you put sugar in your tea? Why does it taste so sweet?"
The third brother smacked his lips and asked with an unsatisfied look.
Upon hearing this, Auntie shook her head.
"No, maybe it's because you just took some medicine and your mouth feels bitter!"
