Gu Zi thought of the bean jelly grass that was drying in the sun at home and forgot about the unhappy episode with Tian Hai.
She said to Su Shen, Lets go to the Revival Store. I want to buy some things. Su Shen adjusted his mood and took her to the Revival Store.
She bought edible alkali, cornstarch, brown sugar, wolfberries, and also some canned fruits. Su Shen didnt know what she was planning, but he didnt find accompanying her boring. He enjoyed being her bearer of things and the feeling of paying the bill.
As they returned from the city to Daqing Village, Su Li and Su Bing were just returning from school. They met at the village entrance and walked home together.
Su Li walked very slowly because his body had not fully recovered.
Su Shen walked up and squatted down.
Gu Zi took Su Lis backpack and said to him, Su Li, go ahead.
Su Li couldnt believe what was happening. Was Dad going to carry him?
But now, this love and warmth were right in front of him.
He walked over and lay on his fathers broad back. His father lifted him and walked forward, feeling stable and secure on his fathers back.
The teacher had previously assigned a task to write a heartwarming piece about fathers back.
He hadnt known what to write, so he wrote something random to please the teacher.
But now, he decided he would rewrite a paragraph to give to the teacher!
Su Bing looked at Gu Zi. He knew well that since the stepmother arrived, not only had their meals improved, but even their father had become gentler and more attentive.
All these changes were because of her arrival.
And she even saved the lives of the three siblings!
The icy demeanor in Su Bings eyes seemed to slowly melt, and his gaze became warmer.
Gu Zi approached and took his school bag, smiling, Lele is at Aunt Zhangs.
Could you help bring her back?
Su Bing nodded and quickly walked ahead.
As the family entered the yard, Big Yellow, who was freely roaming in the yard, came to greet them.
It wagged its tail, its triangular eyes shining. It first went to Gu Zits feet and then rubbed against Su Shens pants.
Su Shen put down the younger one and petted Big Yellows head, knowing his old companion had turned traitor.
Among their group in the past, Big Yellow always bonded with him first because it was a pet he had during his military days, creating a deep bond between man and animal.
Gu Zi teased Su Shen intentionally, Dont get jealous. It likes me mainly because
Before Gu Zi could finish her sentence, the man stood up, his tall figure illuminated by the bright light from the porch, making his handsome face appear even more profound and charming.
The prominent Adams apple on his neck highlighted the mature mans unique charm.
Gu Zi squinted slightly, feeling a bit dizzy. This mans appearance was excessively superior.
Im not jealous of you. He was actually a bit jealous of Big Yellow.
This woman was so gentle and attentive; even Big Yellow could sense it. It was reasonable for Big Yellow to like her.
Gu Zi didnt catch the meaning in his eyes and casually said, Lets go inside first. We havent seen Lele all day.
As Gu Zi entered the house, Lele slid off the sofa and reached out towards her, Mommy, want mommy!
Gu Zi hugged the little girl and fed her some canned fruit that she had just bought. She cut the big peach into small pieces and fed Lele bit by bit.
Su Li, you and Su Bing can share the rest of the canned fruits. There are a few cans left. If the medicine tastes bitter later, you can eat some by yourself.
Su Li held the transparent can and drooled as he looked at the golden fruit chunks inside.
He didnt feel the medicine was bitter at all; with the stepmothers canned fruits, his heart felt sweet.
Thank you, stepmom. Ill wait for my brother to come down and eat together!
In those times, canned fruits were a luxury item people brought when visiting others. Eating canned fruits was considered quite extravagant.
But Gu Zi knew how to make canned fruits.
She bought many fresh seasonal fruits today and some necessary materials. Tomorrow, she could make canned fruits herself.
Once she made them, she could give some to the Lin family and share some with the neighbor Aunt Zhang.
But she was a bit troubled. Where could she find containers?
She glanced at Su Shen.. Could you help me find some glass jars with lids?
