Lu Qing nodded repeatedly.
Gu Xicheng squatted down and put the soft rabbit-themed cotton shoes on Lu Qing's feet, then wrapped her in a thick rabbit-themed bathrobe.
"Gu Xicheng, I'm just having a meal, do I need to wear so many layers?"
Gu Xicheng carried Lu Qing out of the main house. As soon as the door opened, Lu Qing knew why he had dressed her in so many layers.
It's snowing outside, the yard is covered in a thick layer of white snow, and snowflakes are still falling from the sky.
Lu Qing reached out and took a piece; it was icy cold.
"The snow is so beautiful!"
Gu Xicheng looked at her, his eyes filled with an unyielding tenderness:
"Yes! It's beautiful!"
It was the middle of the night, and Gu Xicheng didn't want to disturb the old man, so he started a fire himself.
But he was a young master who had never done such rough work before. He tried to light it for a long time, but it went out as soon as he put it into the stove.
"That's strange! I always see my grandparents light a fire like this, so why can't I do it?"
Lu Qing's stomach was already rumbling.
She took out a fire talisman and handed it over: "How about... you try this!"
A fire talisman was thrown in, and the firewood was instantly ignited.
Before long, the aroma of pork bones wafted out. Hand-pulled noodles were added to the broth, and once cooked, they were soaked in the broth and smelled incredibly delicious.
Lu Qing put on disposable gloves and was about to grab a big bone to gnaw on when Gu Xicheng stopped her.
"Have some porridge first. You haven't eaten for three days. Your stomach won't be able to handle eating meat all at once."
Lu Qing looked at the vegetable porridge that had no oil or grease at all, and pouted:
I want to eat meat!
"Sweetie! Eat a couple of sips of porridge first!"
Gu Xicheng picked up a spoon and fed it to Lu Qing. Lu Qing reluctantly ate half a bowl, but couldn't wait to show off the meat.
Lu Qing finally smiled with satisfaction as he put the tender, flavorful pork bone into his mouth.
"Meat is still the best!"
Gu Xicheng chuckled helplessly.
While Lu Qing ate meat, he sat next to her and peeled pickled garlic.
We ate from 2 a.m. until 5 a.m. the next morning. A whole pot of pork bones and ribs was gone, plus a pound of hand-pulled noodles.
The old man woke up early, around six o'clock.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the kitchen light was on and quickly went over.
Seeing that Lu had regained consciousness, they immediately beamed with joy:
"Qingqing, you're awake!"
"She slept for so long, it scared us to death!"
Grandma held Lu Qing's hand and checked him from left to right:
"How are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Lu Qing shook his head repeatedly:
"No! I'm perfectly fine now, I can eat and drink normally!"
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how scared they were when Gu Xicheng brought back the unconscious Lu Qing.
This is the only girl in the whole family, and everyone cherishes her like a treasure.
If something really happens, their family will never be happy again.
Old Master Chu glanced at the pile of bones on the table and grinned from ear to ear:
"Little girl, are you full? If you're not full, Grandpa will make you more!"
Lu Qing nodded: "That's about it!"
"Then go and rest for a while. After your parents and brothers wake up, have some breakfast with them."
Lu Qing: "Grandpa, I've been sleeping for a long time, and I can't fall asleep anymore."
“Even if you’re not asleep, you have to take Xiao Gu to sleep. He’s barely slept these past few days taking care of you. Look at his eyes, they’re so tired, they look like the rabbits your third aunt raises.”
Lu Qing looked at Gu Xicheng, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Okay! I'll go back to sleep with Gu Xicheng for a while longer!"
Go!
Lu Qing pulled Gu Xicheng back to the room and gently massaged his temples.
"I'm fine now, you should get some sleep!"
"Sleep with me!"
Gu Xicheng took off Lu Qing's thick nightgown and then scooped her into his arms.
Lu Qing wasn't sleepy at first, but being held like this by Gu Xicheng, she fell asleep without realizing it.
Lu Qing slept until after eight o'clock, when she was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Qingqing, Xiao Gu, breakfast is ready. Would you like some more?"
Lu Qing sat up, and seeing that Gu Xicheng was still asleep, tiptoed out of bed and opened the door:
"Mom, Gu Xicheng hasn't woken up yet, let's not wake him up."
Han Ziyuan nodded: "Okay! He hasn't rested much these past few days, let him sleep, we'll leave the food for him."
Lu Qing tiptoed out, putting on her bathrobe and cotton shoes.
She ate too much and now her stomach hurts; she needs to go take care of it.
Lu Qing was playing on her phone while using the restroom when she suddenly felt something watching her. She turned her head and saw Coal Ball tiptoeing furtively at the door.
She reached out and opened the door a crack, looking at the little one:
"Little coal ball, what are you loitering around here for? Waiting for something hot, huh?"
The coal ball didn't react for a moment, but once it did, it immediately made a vomiting face.
"How disgusting! Only dogs eat poop. I'm a Five Elements Spirit Beast, not a dog!"
"If you can't wait for it to be warm, then what are you doing here?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.
Coal Ball hunched over, glancing at Lu Qing every now and then:
"Um... I do need to talk to you about something!"
"Master, could you do me a favor?"
Coal Ball stared longingly at Lu Qing.
"What kind of help do you need? Tell me first, and I'll consider it!" Lu Qingyou said quietly.
"Could you... could you give me some of your Qi?" Coal Ball asked weakly.
Lu Qing frowned slightly: "What do you need my Qi for?"
Coal Ball: "I'm almost in my growth stage. I was supposed to break through in just a few days with you, but you went out and were unconscious for three days. My body couldn't supply enough power, so I had to stop."
Lu Qing picked up the coal ball and examined it; it was indeed close to breaking out of its infancy.
This little cub is useless now, but once it enters its growth stage, the Five Elements Spirit Beast is a treasure from head to toe.
Take the last time she overexerted her Qi in the strange land, for example. If there had been an adult Five Elements Spirit Beast, feeding her a mouthful of blood would have restored half of her strength.
Thinking about it this way, letting the little coal ball break through is the most advantageous option.
Moreover, with the Contract Spirit Bracelet, Lu Qing was not worried about Little Coal Ball's loyalty.
"Alright! Let me help you break through!"
Lu Qing channeled a wisp of his Qi into Little Coal Ball's body, and Little Coal Ball fell asleep immediately after receiving the power.
For spirit beasts, sleep is the best way to evolve.
After leaving the bathroom, Lu Qing put Little Coal Ball into its own nest.
Although she had eaten a lot three hours ago, now that she had finished using the toilet, her stomach was empty, so she wanted to stuff something in her mouth again.
It just so happens that my grandparents started preparing for the New Year today, and the pots and pans in the kitchen have been running non-stop since early morning.
It was unusual for the maternal grandparents to not argue with the paternal grandparents about whose house the children should spend the Lunar New Year at; instead, they brought some ingredients and prepared the food together with them.
When Lu Qing entered the kitchen, her grandmother and maternal grandmother were busy making steamed buns.
There are many people in my family, so I prepared several kinds of fillings for the steamed buns: one bowl of pork and scallion, one bowl of braised pork, one bowl of braised pork, one bowl of beef, and the only vegetarian filling was chives and eggs.
As soon as Lu Qing entered, the aroma of braised pork wafted over like a ghost.
