However, fearing that Bai Nuo might not be able to accept it, neither Lu Ying nor Xia Donglai dared to say it was serious.
"Okay, I'll be more careful in the future!" Bai Nuo nodded immediately; of course, she knew what chicken shrinkage meant.
In severe cases, it can lead to short legs.
After arranging rooms for Lu Ying and Xia Donglai, Bai Nuo went straight to Grandma's room. As soon as she entered, she pulled up Grandma's trouser leg.
"What's wrong?" Bai Nuo's actions startled both Grandma and Aunt Liu.
Grandma's legs were indeed different from before. The voices of Aunt Liu and Grandma were still ringing in her ears, and Bai Nuo felt very irritated and wanted to yell at Grandma.
Or rather, he got angry at Aunt Liu.
She had clearly asked her to take care of her old lady, but the old lady still ended up like this. If Xia Dong hadn't said something, she wouldn't have noticed at all.
By the time she realized it, it was too late.
"What's wrong?" Grandma asked again when she saw that Bai Nuo hadn't spoken. "What's wrong? Say something."
When Bai Nuo looked up, she saw the two of them staring at her, looking quite anxious. Bai Nuo's anger immediately subsided.
Never mind, she didn't talk to them about this issue, especially Aunt Liu. She didn't explain it to them at all. They are different from her and don't know what muscular atrophy is.
It's her fault, no one else's.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to come see you!" Bai Nuo said with a smile.
The old woman and Aunt Liu both breathed a sigh of relief. The old woman pulled down her trouser leg and said with a smile, "You come to see me, but why are you pulling down my trouser leg?"
"What are you doing?" Bai Nuo didn't dare to tell the truth, so she changed the subject.
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "My aunt said she'd make clothes for you and Bai Yu."
The old woman laughed and said, "Her craftsmanship is excellent! Look!" She picked up a piece of clothing and held it up against Bai Nuo's chest. "Doesn't it look good?"
"It looks beautiful!" Bai Nuo said with a smile, putting the clothes back into the basket. "Auntie, it's getting late, you don't need to make any more clothes. Grandma, go to bed, I'll give you a massage."
"massage?"
“Yes!” Bai Nuo glanced at Aunt Liu, who then came up and carried the old woman to the bed while talking to her.
Bai Nuo sat on the edge of the bed and pulled up the old woman's trouser leg. The old woman hadn't walked for a long time, and her legs had become very white, but they were smaller than before, so you couldn't tell unless you looked closely.
"Does it hurt like this?" Bai Nuo gently pinched the old woman's foot.
The old woman shook her head.
That makes sense. If it's damaged from the spine down there, how could it possibly have any sensation?
Bai Nuo massaged the old woman's feet, and then helped her move her feet according to the rehabilitation steps she remembered before saying, "I will come and massage you every day from now on. When I'm not home, remember to ask Aunt Liu to massage you. Aunt, I'll tell you the steps tomorrow!"
The next morning, Bai Nuo took Lu Ying and Xia Donglai to the riverbank and told them how to get all the river mussels up, what kind of mussels had pearls and what kind didn't. The three of them walked through all the small rivers in Zhedi Village, found a lot of river mussels, and put them into the fishpond.
The first day was the same, the second day was the same, and it wasn't until the fourth day that Bai Nuo went to Duobao Pavilion. Fortunately, Hu Mingmei could help her keep an eye on things.
On the fourth day, Bai Nuo went to the bookstore and bought a lot of white paper, brushes, and ink. After opening the door, she buried herself in drawing on the paper.
Fortunately, she has seen many styles in modern times and can now draw them all, whether it's necklaces, bracelets, or earrings.
Bai Nuo didn't even notice when Hu Mingmei stood next to her. Hu Mingmei didn't disturb her; he just watched her continue drawing.
Hu Mingmei suddenly realized that if she were to write a modern jewelry encyclopedia, Bai Nuo could do it too.
When Bai Nuo looked up, feeling sore all over, she saw Hu Mingmei staring at her intently. She looked back at Hu Mingmei and saw herself reflected in his eyes.
"W-what are you doing?" Bai Nuo felt shy all over when Hu Mingmei looked at her, and she didn't even dare to look Hu Mingmei in the eye.
"What are you doing?" Hu Mingmei was much more shameless than Bai Nuo. Knowing that Bai Nuo was shy, Hu Mingmei didn't keep looking at her. Instead, he turned his attention to the papers on the counter.
Bai Nuo also looked at the drawings she had made, "Styles!" And each one was different. If they were all made, it would greatly enrich her collection.
“But I can’t make what I’ve drawn here myself; I need to find someone else to do it. I don’t have the raw materials here,” Bai Nuo said. Even in modern times, drawing these pictures would be a complicated matter, but with modern industry so advanced, it’s manageable here…
"I've already asked someone to keep an eye out for it, and I expect to have results in the next few days." Hu Mingmei wasn't too worried about it.
Bai Nuo nodded. That was all she could do now; she could only place her hopes on Hu Mingmei.
"Don't worry, understand?" Hu Mingmei squeezed Bai Nuo's shoulders, helping Bai Nuo stand up and lean against him. Seeing Bai Nuo's worried face, Hu Mingmei kissed Bai Nuo tenderly, then pressed his forehead against Bai Nuo's and whispered, "I'll take care of everything. You just need to be happy. I'll handle the rest!"
"Hmm..." Bai Nuo leaned against Hu Mingmei and said softly, "I'm not worried, I'm just thinking about what to do next."
