Watching Han Mingyue and Li Ershu's departing figures, Gu Lili couldn't help but mutter to herself.
It's understandable that my second uncle is strong; after all, he's a farmer.
But how come Han Mingyue, who is clearly a scholar, is so strong?
He walked almost without stopping, and seemed poised to surpass Li Ershu.
Li Ershu and Han Mingyue seemed to be in a competition, and soon they disappeared from the road.
Gu Lili's hand hurt, and Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou were too weak, so the three of them simply walked back slowly.
When I got tired, I sat down to rest for a while.
"Sister, isn't that Young Master Han?" Gu Sigou pointed in the direction of home.
Gu Lili looked up and saw Han Mingyue, who had returned.
Just as Gu Lili was wondering why Han Mingyue had come back, Han Mingyue walked straight up to the three of them.
Han Mingyue looked at Gu Lili, who was casually sitting on the edge of the field, and smiled, "I forgot to give you this earlier. It's a top-quality wound medicine. Put some on your hands!"
Han Mingyue had wanted to give this medicine to Gu Lili for a long time, but she was a little embarrassed just now.
As Han Mingyue spoke, she handed the medicine to Gu Lili.
Before Gu Lili could react, Han Mingyue bent down, picked up the buckets in front of the three of them, and walked towards Gu Lili's house.
Looking at Han Mingyue's retreating figure, Gu Sigou couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Sister, this Young Master Han is even stronger than Second Brother! He's incredibly strong!"
Han Mingyue hadn't gone far when she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
I really don't know if this kid is praising me or insulting me!
Seeing Han Mingyue's actions, Gu Lili chuckled softly.
However, he did give Gu Sigou a very righteous and stern lecture.
"Fourth Dog, you can't praise someone like that! Who compares a person to a cow?"
Gu Sigou nodded as if he understood, but Young Master Han really is like an ox!
Gu Lili took the medicine given to her by Han Mingyue and examined it for a while. Then she unscrewed the cap and smelled it. A refreshing fragrance of Chinese medicine wafted out.
"Beep, traditional wound medicine, fifty taels a bottle!"
The mechanical voice reached Gu Lili's ears, and her eyes widened instantly.
This tiny bottle of wound medicine is so valuable!
Wow, the Han family is really rich and powerful!
Moreover, the prescription and efficacy descriptions were even listed next to the medicine.
When Gu Lili saw the rotten flesh regenerating, she didn't hesitate to apply some medicine to her hands, and then wrapped her hands with gauze. She had to cook later, and if she didn't wrap them, her hands would definitely hurt when she touched the spatula.
After wrapping her hands, Gu Lili took Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou home.
Back home, Li Ershu had already dissolved the syrup and was practicing drawing.
Standing next to her was Han Mingyue, whose brows were furrowed.
Gu Lili raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this young master Han was planning to play with the coachman at his home.
However, since the other person had helped me, and I had used such an expensive wound medicine, I couldn't very well kick him out, so I decided to let him go.
“Brother Li, you should have veered this way! You veered that way, and look at yourself, your ears are all deformed!” Han Mingyue said, pointing to the drawing Li Ershu had made in front of her.
Li Ershu nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Han is right! Let's start again!"
Gu Lili was speechless. In just a short while, how come her second uncle was calling Han Mingyue his brother?
Should I then call Han Mingyue "Uncle Han"?
Gu Lili quickly shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her head.
They've been busy all morning and haven't eaten yet.
Let's take care of breakfast first.
"Sister, you do it, I'll do it. Your hand is injured, so you shouldn't get it wet. It'll heal faster that way!" Gu Huanhuan said quickly as she watched Gu Lili go to get the fish to wash.
Gu Lili thought about it and then agreed.
There will be a lot of work to do in a few days, so I need to be quick so I can get to work sooner. Otherwise, there are some tasks that Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou won't be able to handle.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Then Huanhuan, take these noodle fish out and then clean them out with a knife!"
Gu Huanhuan nodded and went back to the kitchen to get a knife.
Gu Lili then prepared to go to the kitchen to cook, and Gu Sigou, seeing this, jogged in after her.
"Sister, let me start the fire!" Gu Sigou shouted.
Gu Lili nodded, then washed the pot and prepared to cook seafood porridge.
Today they not only collected fish, but also a lot of clams and prawns, which are perfect for making seafood porridge.
It'll be so delicious when paired with deep-fried noodlefish later!
Gu Lili kept cooking the porridge in the pot and went out to get clams and prawns.
Who knew that as soon as they stepped out of the kitchen, they saw Han Mingyue, who should have been watching Li Ershu make sugar figurines, squatting on the ground helping Gu Huanhuan kill fish.
Gu Huanhuan was still praising Han Mingyue, "Young Master Han, you're amazing! You can even kill fish!"
Gu Lili's eyes twitched involuntarily. It seemed that Han Mingyue was an alien species, and soon her family would be "invaded"!
However, Gu Lili didn't stand on ceremony with him.
"Huanhuan, wash some prawns and clams, let's cook seafood porridge!" Gu Lili said to Gu Huanhuan beside her.
Han Mingyue looked up at Gu Lili and smiled politely at her.
Gu Lili returned Han Mingyue's smile in a generous manner.
Well, I'm not a petty person. What happened last time was just a misunderstanding, and I don't need to hold a grudge.
Although this is ancient times, I still have the mindset of a modern person.
It's not that feudal!
Gu Huanhuan quickly washed out a lot of clams and shrimp.
Gu Lili knew that Gu Huanhuan had washed the clothes specially because she knew that guests were coming to the house.
Gu Lili took the seashells that Gu Huanhuan had washed, then turned around and went back to the kitchen.
In about half an hour, the porridge was cooked and the noodles and fish were fried.
Gu Lili also soaked some bracken fern and made a cold salad to eat with porridge.
"Second Uncle, Huanhuan, Sigou, dinner's ready!" Gu Lili called out.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Lili seemed to feel that something was amiss, so she added, "Si Gou, call Young Master Mingyue for dinner!"
Because they went to the beach early today, it's almost lunchtime now.
Ever since Han Mingyue ate at Gu Lili's house last time, she has been longing for Gu Lili's food.
He sat down as if they were old friends, and Gu Sigou quickly handed him the first bowl that had been served.
After everyone's food was served, Gu Lili picked up one of the seafood porridge bowls and prepared to leave.
"You guys eat first, I'm going to take some food to Da Hua!" Gu Lili said and left.
