Chapter 56: Emperor-like Treatment
Su Mingmei carried a basket of bamboo shoots on her back, and Dong Yulan carried Qibao on her back, and the two of them hurried home.
The remaining bamboo shoots that had not been packed were left for Su Qingshan to clean up when he came back.
As soon as she got home, Su Mingmei put the bamboo shoots in and went to boil water.
With the experience from last time, Su Mingmei boiled two large pots of water.
During this time, grandma Dong Yulan had helped find clothes to change and made a cup of milk for Qibao, for fear that the little girl would be hungry. However, the little girl refused to eat.
[It stinks, I don’t want to eat it! ]
Gu Qiqi shook her head at her grandma.
It stinks so much, it affects my appetite!
The hot water was ready quickly.
With Dong Yulan's help, the two of them quickly stripped Gu Qiqi naked.
The little girl's originally fair skin was covered with a layer of black dirt...
The water temperature had been adjusted in advance, and as soon as Gu Qiqi was put into the water, the originally clean water instantly became turbid.
Dong Yulan and Su Mingmei washed her face with two pairs of hands, one in front and one behind.
Gu Qiqi enjoyed treatment like an emperor.
"Has our Qibao lost some weight?" Dong Yulan stared at Qibao's arm suspiciously.
She remembered that she had given Qibao a bath yesterday.
When I washed my arms yesterday, they looked like lotus root nodes and I had to peel them apart and wash them slowly. Today, the lotus root nodes have disappeared. I have indeed lost weight compared to yesterday, but my whole body still looks round and I have a lot of flesh.
"You've indeed lost weight, which is good!" Su Mingmei nodded.
It's not good for girls to be too fat.
Like Qibao before, dirt easily hides in the crevices between the thighs and arms, and it is troublesome to clean.
It's just the right roundness as it is in front of me.
Although she has lost weight, her face is still chubby and has baby fat, which hasn't changed at all.
After changing three basins of water, Gu Qiqi washed herself clean from head to toe, feeling refreshed.
After washing, Gu Qiqi looked even whiter, with skin that was fair and translucent, as if it was glowing.
Her hair is black and shiny, her big black eyes are like black gemstones, and her small cherry pink mouth makes her look even more adorable.
Dong Yulan put on her newly made pink dress and a quilted jacket on the outside.
Although the weather is getting warmer now, there is a big temperature difference between morning and night.
You can wear light clothing when it is hot at noon, but you need to wear thicker clothing in the morning and evening.
After putting on clothes, Dong Yulan carefully dried Qibao's hair.
"Our good girl is so pretty. I don't know which boy will marry her in the future!" Dong Yulan couldn't help but mutter to herself as she looked at the cute little girl Yuxue.
"Mom, you're thinking too far ahead. Our Qibao is still a baby!" Su Mingmei said helplessly.
"It's not far away. Ten or twenty years will pass in a flash. By the time our dear girl grows up, I will be really old!" Dong Yulan sighed.
By then, he will surely have a head full of silver hair, a hunched body, and a face full of wrinkles.
"Don't worry, Mom. You won't be old even when Qibao grows up!" Su Mingmei comforted.
But she knew that what she said was meaningless.
After all, aging is an unchangeable fact.
No one can resist it!
"Haha, I just hope that our good girl won't think I'm in the way!" Dong Yulan smiled.
When people get old and become useless, they will be despised to some extent.
But she believed that her daughter would never do that.
He is so filial at such a young age, he will be the same when he grows up!
[Grandma will definitely live a long life! ]
As if to express that he did not dislike his grandma, Qibao subconsciously wrapped his arms around Dong Yulan's neck and pressed his little body against Dong Yulan.
This intimate gesture made Dong Yulan very happy.
"Our good girl must be hungry. Now that she's washed, she should be willing to drink milk!" Dong Yulan put Qibao on the baby chair and turned to get the bottle.
The bottle has been kept in warm water and the milk inside is still warm.
Dong Yulan used a rag to wipe the water stains on the surface of the bottle before handing it to Qibao.
Qibao, sitting in the baby chair, held the bottle and started sucking vigorously.
Having not eaten for a day, and having consumed too much energy in trying to reach the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, Gu Qiqi was indeed very hungry.
A full bottle of milk was finished in the blink of an eye.
【want! 】
Gu Qiqi handed the bottle to her grandma and said a word.
The voice is so sweet and sounds particularly pleasant.
Dong Yulan was so happy that she said she had forgotten something.
Just now when we were in the bamboo forest, Qibao said "pee", and now the word "want" is used to express clearly...
"Our Qibao is so amazing. He can speak at such a young age!" Dong Yulan's face was full of pride and joy.
Being able to speak and hearing Qibao's inner thoughts are two completely different things.
"What did you say? Can my dear girl talk?" Su Qingshan, who came back carrying bamboo, thought he was hallucinating when he heard his wife's words.
"want!"
Gu Qiqi held up the bottle and handed it forward again.
[I'm so hungry, grandma, don't just be happy! ]
"Puchi, wait, grandma will make it soon!" Dong Yulan took the bottle and excitedly went to make the milk for the second time.
Su Qingshan threw down the bamboo and came over happily.
"Dear girl, try calling me grandpa!"
Gu Qiqi met her grandfather's expectant and nervous gaze and sighed inwardly.
She is already very high-profile in speaking out single words!
She could foresee that once she called out "Grandpa", her grandmother, mother, father, and brother would be waiting for her...
If it weren't for the physical needs and the urge to hold it in in the bamboo forest, she would definitely not have spoken so loudly so early.
As for calling him grandpa, we cannot set a precedent!
Once you open your mouth you can't stop!
Gu Qiqi simply turned her head away, leaving only the back of her grandfather's head, but her eyes were fixed on her grandmother who was making milk over there.
"Hurry up and pick up the bamboo shoots from the forest. Our dear daughter is still young, so there's no rush to talk to her. Take your time!" Dong Yulan glared at her husband.
The little girl had just learned to say two words, and the old man couldn't wait to let her call for help...
The little girl is only seven months old, why are you in such a hurry...
"Okay, I'll go collect the bamboo shoots!" Su Qingshan picked up an empty basket helplessly and went out.
After drinking the milk, Gu Qiqi sat in the baby chair and played by herself.
The brothers came back from school, and as soon as they put down their schoolbags, they couldn't wait to surround Qibao and talk to him.
Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan were busy preparing dinner.
There is only one piece of rabbit left. It will go bad if I don’t eat it now, so I stewed it with potatoes tonight.
Add some fried bamboo shoots and two dishes will be enough.
Su Qingshan moved quickly and soon came back carrying a large basket of bamboo shoots.
Digging bamboo shoots is physical work. Su Mingmei and Dong Yulan dug bamboo shoots for a whole day, but only dug less than two baskets in total.
"Why is there only so little? Are you sure you've packed them all?" Dong Yulan looked at the bamboo shoots in the basket, her face full of confusion.
"Everything has been packed. I checked it once more and not a single bamboo shoot was left out!" Su Qingshan said affirmatively.
"Impossible, the remaining bamboo shoots can at least fill up a basket. My aim can't be wrong!" Dong Yulan exclaimed.
