Holding her warm, large hand, Gu Nian felt very safe. She looked into Xue Qianyu's earnest eyes, lowered her head and smiled. When she looked up again, her face was beaming like a flower, making Xue Qianyu feel that spring had arrived and the flowers were in bloom.
"Wow..."
Just as Gu Nian was about to say something, the cry of a baby interrupted her.
Both of them looked in the direction of the sound.
Cai Xiaolian calmly carried Gu Xiaoba out and said, "Ahem, Qian Yu is here. Did he arrive with your uncle?"
Xue Qianyu nodded: "Second Aunt is well. I just arrived home with my eldest uncle. This is a ginseng that I dug up when I had nothing to do in the mountains. I specially brought it to you to help you recover."
Then Xue Qianyu handed over a handkerchief containing something he was holding.
Cai Xiaolian took it, opened it, and looked at Xue Qianyu with increasing satisfaction. "Kid, you're good. This doesn't look like it was bought; it really was dug up. There's even mud on the ginseng roots."
This guy probably thinks she's too old to have a baby, which is bad for her health. Hmm, what a good guy.
Cai Xiaolian nodded: "Thank you, Qianyu. Xiao Ba keeps crying, so I'll talk to you guys later. You guys play by yourselves!"
After saying that, he picked up Gu Xiaoba and left.
At this moment, Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Huo Yanyu ran out.
Gu Xin chuckled and said, "Sister, Second Brother Xue is so idle in Linshan! He hunts tigers and foxes for Grandpa and Grandma, digs ginseng to nourish Mother, and cuts down trees to carve girls!"
Huo Yanyu nodded in agreement: "My brother often talks about Second Brother Xue, worried that he might be bored! But it turns out, Second Brother Xue is not bored at all."
Gu Si chimed in, "Since Brother Xue is so free, we can go to Linshan again when spring comes!"
Then all three of them looked at the two of them still holding hands.
Gu Nian was startled. "Oh dear, did Mother see that too?"
She tried to pull back, but Xue Qianyu held on tightly, looking at the three girls and saying, "I've brought you all your things right away, go to the stables to get them!"
Then the three little girls ran off happily.
Gu Nian bit her lip and looked at Xue Qianyu: "You deliberately led them away, didn't you?"
Xue Qianyu nodded, holding Gu Nian's hand with one hand and pinching her cheek with the other: "Gu Nian, don't bite your lip, I'll do something bad."
Gu Nian was furious; this person was getting bolder and bolder!
Okay, I've got your hand on my wrist. I don't believe you can tie my feet: "You lecherous scoundrel, I'll beat you up!"
Xue Qianyu kept backing away, but he wouldn't let go of Gu Nian's hand.
As a pitiful pig squeal rang out, Gu Nian stopped playing around with Xue Qianyu and naturally took his hand and led him to the kitchen.
She's going to make braised pig brains; she's even prepared cabbage leaves.
As they walked, she told Xue Qianyu that when they slaughtered pigs, they would wrap the pig brains in vegetable leaves and roast them in the fire. It was delicious. Lu Zheng and Meng Meng had both eaten it, but he hadn't. She would roast it for him later.
Xue Qianyu's upturned lips never relaxed.
The gift he brought for Gu Xin and the others was several pure white rabbits, clean and tidy in a cage. There were four of them, including the three girls and his girl, and each of them received one rabbit.
Who knew that after the pig was slaughtered and the brains were eaten, Gu Nian waved her hand and said, "Let's have braised rabbit today! It's been so long since we've had it!"
Xinxin, Sisi, and Hanhan: "Great! Braised rabbit is the best!"
Xue Qianyu: I specially made a pure white one for you guys to raise! I was just afraid you'd eat the gray rabbits.
He paused for a moment, then laughed at himself. "Eat up, eat up! I've been craving braised rabbit all along!"
