Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

The little fellow still did not know what wrong thing he said and could not understand why his brother laughed.

“Brother, what are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong?”

Mo Chengrui scratched his nose. “Nope. There’s nothing wrong in what you said, but… don’t let Young Uncle know. Otherwise, he will definitely spank your butt.”

Mo Chengxu frowned. “Why would Young Uncle spank my butt for nothing? It’s him who wanted me to treat Young Aunt well and listen to her!”

Mo Chengrui: “…”

This could not be explained to a kid.

“Yao Yao!”

Jiang Yingqiu heard the commotion and came to the two kids’ room. She smiled at the sight of Gu Qingyao.

“Auntie Jiang!”

“Mhm! You’re back. You stayed there for a few months. Are you still used to it?”

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Still all right. Brother Beihan is in the provincial capital now too and it’ll be more convenient for him to come home in the future. It’s the new year holiday soon and he should be back soon.”

Jiang Yingqiu smiled at that.

She was used to so many years of independence and had been supporting the family by herself all this while, but as she aged, her son was her rock.

Knowing that her son was working somewhere closer to her, she was delighted too.

“The provincial capital is good. It is closer to home. When he marries you in the future, he can come back frequently. If you wish to go with him, it’s also convenient for you to go and live with him. Moreover, your third uncle lives there too, and it’s convenient for you all to look after each other.”

Gu Qingyao flushed. Marriage!

The new year was coming soon and she would be seventeen then.

Given Brother Beihan’s anxious personality, he would want to marry her once she is of age, right?

In the previous lifetime, she almost waited until she became an old granny but was still unable to marry him. In this lifetime, they were finally going to get married.

Bliss filled Gu Qingyao’s heart and the smile on her face never faded.

“Uh… Auntie Jiang, Brother Beihan wanted me to bring some things for you all. Look, they’re all here!”

Gu Qingyao was slightly shy and hurriedly changed the topic. She opened the package which was filled with the items she brought back from the provincial capital for the Mo Family.

“Auntie, there’s a quilted jacket for you and the two kids and a pair of shoes for each one of you. Other than that, there’s also food. I know that the ration for the autumn harvest is already distributed so I brought some flour, rice and meat back.”

Apart from three sets of clothes and shoes, there were five catties of white rice, flour and vermicelli each, twenty eggs and a chicken.

Gu Qingyao emphasized, “Auntie Jiang, we specially prepared this old hen. It’s fresh and is used to boil chicken soup for you all to nourish your body. It’s best to boil it tonight, so it can be enjoyed tomorrow.”

To store goods more conveniently during the winter, many foods were marinated. Dried chickens, dried rabbits and whatnot were obviously inferior to a freshly killed chicken.

Jiang Yingqiu had poor health and was much better after six months of careful care. But there were still two kids in the house and it was better to eat nutritious food.

Jiang Yingqiu looked at the items and smiled. “These are good. I’ll go make the preparations and boil it tonight.”

“No, no. It’s all right. Auntie Jiang, you should rest! I’ll cook lunch. I’ve already cleaned this and we can just boil it in the afternoon. Chengrui can just help me start the fire.”

Mo Chengrui beamed. “That’s right. Grandma, go take a rest! Your legs always ache during the winter. Go cover yourself with a blanket. Young Aunt and I can manage.”

Without Jiang Yingqiu lifting a finger, lunch was prepared by Gu Qingyao and Mo Chengrui, whereby the latter was responsible for starting the fire.
