Hua Li's cries kept echoing in her ears, and Luo Yan was woken up before she could even fully wake up.
Sigh, what can she do when she has a mother who loves to cry? Luo Yan sighed and opened her eyes.
Hua Li noticed Luo Yan's expression as soon as she lifted her eyelids, exclaimed in surprise, and picked her up.
"Yanyan, Yanyan, Mommy's darling, you scared Mommy to death, boohoo... ugh!"
Hua Li's crying stopped abruptly as she gagged repeatedly from the stench emanating from Luo Yan.
Even so, Hua Li still held Luo Yan tightly and wouldn't let go. The joy of regaining her made her able to endure anything.
"How could you sleep for a whole day and night? Ugh, don't you know your mother will worry? Ugh..."
She slept for a whole day and night?! My God!
Just as Luo Yan was about to speak to coax Hua Li, a strange, sour smell suddenly filled her nose and mouth.
"vomit!"
Luo Yan discovered that the stench was coming from herself.
No, I can't take it anymore!
"Wash! Wash!" Luo Yan's eyes welled up with tears from the stench.
"I'll go boil some water..." Luo Shicheng turned around and quickly went to the kitchen.
Luo Yan smelled terrible, so Hua Li carried her outside to air her out, while Xiao Xiu, who held onto Luo Yan's little hand the whole time, followed closely behind.
Noticing that one of her hands was being held, Luo Yan looked down and happened to meet Xiao Xiu's red and swollen eyes.
Even the strong-willed Xiao Xiu cried. Was it because she was worried about her? Luo Yan was touched, and her gaze towards Xiao Xiu softened considerably.
Luo Shicheng quickly boiled water and poured it into the bathtub, then added cold water. He tested the temperature with his hand and found it to be just right before coming out to take Luo Yan to take a bath.
Hua Li couldn't take it anymore, so she handed Luo Yan over to Luo Shicheng and stood there to recover.
Caught completely off guard, Luo Shicheng took Luo Yan and nearly fell over from the stench.
Why does she smell so bad?
Luo Yan wondered to herself, could it be that drinking the spiritual spring water cleansed her marrow and that's why it smelled so bad? Luo Yan thought it was very likely.
Luo Shicheng ran to the bathtub, quickly took off Luo Yan's clothes and put her in the tub. He took the soap, lathered it up with his hands, and rubbed Luo Yan all over.
After washing, Luo Yan was taken out and handed to Hua Li who had come over. Luo Shicheng took the bathtub out to pour out the water.
Hua Li exclaimed in surprise when she saw the large bruise on Luo Yan's thigh, "Yan Yan, how did this happen?"
When Luo Shicheng returned carrying the bathtub, his face darkened immediately, and he pulled Luo Yan's leg over to examine it.
Fortunately, Luo Yan only had bruises on her left thigh, and no other injuries on her body.
Luo Yan pointed at her thigh with her little hand, "Aunt Liu, hit me, I'm scared."
It was Liu Jingqiu again. Hua Li glared fiercely at Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng continued to pour water for Luo Yan's bath with a dark expression.
After washing her three times, Luo Yan finally stopped smelling bad.
Looking down at her now fair and tender skin, Luo Yan concluded that her bad smell was due to drinking too much spiritual spring water.
The spiritual spring water transformed her body, which is why she was unconscious for so long and smelled so bad that it almost sent her whole family to their deaths. Tsk, if only she hadn't drunk so much at once, Luo Yan silently apologized.
Luo Shicheng handed the cleaned Luo Yan to Hua Li, and then picked up Luo Yan's clothes and started washing them.
Luo Yan was shocked.
Luo Shicheng used to be treated like a king at home, and he had never served anyone like this before. After working so hard for so long, Hua Li hadn't even given Luo Shicheng a second glance, which really opened her eyes.
Wait a minute, wasn't Hua Li taken away by the Revolutionary Committee? How come she was released so quickly?
Luo Yan was full of questions.
Hua Li dressed Luo Yan in a pink dress, dried her hair with a towel, loosely tied her hair into a bun, and then tied a light pink headband with a bow at the back of her head.
Looking at her adorable daughter, Hua Li's eyes welled up with tears.
Why are you crying again? Luo Yan was really scared of the crybaby, and patted her belly with her little hands.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry."
Perhaps because she had drunk the spiritual spring water, Luo Yan wasn't very hungry, but she had to be hungry in order to distract Hua Li.
Hua Li wiped away her tears and carried Luo Yan to the kitchen.
After washing the clothes and hanging them on the clothesline, Luo Shicheng returned and saw Hua Li heading straight to the kitchen. He hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
"What, does Yan Yan want something to eat?"
Hua Li grunted through her nose, her voice tinged with impatience.
Luo Yan looked around and realized that Hua Li was in a house in the courtyard. She guessed that Hua Li was angry because she was forced to move back, which was why she treated Luo Shicheng so badly.
The scumbag father brought this upon himself; she felt absolutely no sympathy for him.
"I've cooked some millet porridge, can you feed Yan Yan some?"
As Luo Shicheng spoke, he walked into the kitchen, lifted the pot lid, took a bowl, ladled out a bowl of millet porridge, and placed it on the table. He then took a salted duck egg, peeled it, and put the oily yolk into a dish.
Hua Li sat down at the table to feed Luo Yan, and Luo Shicheng served Xiao Xiu a bowl of millet porridge and a salted duck egg as well.
Xiao Xiu stayed by Luo Yan's side for as long as she slept, and by this time she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
After peeling the salted duck egg, Xiao Xiu placed the yolk on the plate in front of Luo Yan, ate the porridge with the duck egg white, walked to the sofa, collapsed, and fell asleep instantly.
Luo Shicheng saw this, came over, picked up Xiaoxiu, and took her to the room where Luo Yan had stayed before. He put her on the bed and covered her stomach with a thin blanket.
Luo Yan ate a bowl of porridge and two duck egg yolks. Her stomach was full, and she felt full of energy.
On the contrary, Hua Li was similar to Xiao Xiu. Luo Yan woke up, her tense nerves relaxed, her eyes were open, but her mind was already a mess.
Luo Shicheng hugged Luo Yan and told Hua Li to go back to her room and catch up on her sleep.
Hua Li was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee and interrogated in a room for two hours before being rescued by Luo Shicheng. However, when she returned home, she was shocked to hear the bad news that Luo Yan had been taken away by Liu Jingqiu. She was too weak to go and search for her, so she could only ask Luo Shicheng for help. She waited anxiously at home with Xiao Xiu.
