Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue returned to the courtyard house at noon in the horse carriage.
Before she entered the house, she could already smell the pleasant fragrance of rice coming from the courtyard house.
Gu Qingxue pushed the door open and entered the courtyard house. She found that the small courtyard house had been cleaned to the point that it was spotless. At this moment, Dumby and Lingbao were kicking shuttlecocks in the courtyard house.
“Mother, you’re back.” The two children immediately ran toward Gu Qingxue with their thick little legs when they saw her.
Gu Qingxue hugged one of the children with one hand and asked curiously, “Where’s your big brother?”
“Big brother is making porridge for us in the kitchen,” said Dumby.
Previously, Gu Qingxue had to work for Madam Yu for a whole day when she went out. Every time she came back at night, Gu Lin would make porridge for her little brother and sister to fill their stomachs.
Gu Qingxue was worried that the three children would trick her into eating, so she rushed back in a hurry. She immediately carried Dumby and Lingbao to the kitchen.
Gu Qingxue had just entered the kitchen when she heard the sound of chopping vegetables.
In the kitchen, Gu Lin was standing on a small stool with a kitchen knife in his hand, seriously cutting the potatoes on the chopping board.
Although Gu Lin looked serious, his knife skills were really not that good. He cut the shredded potatoes into potato sticks. At a glance, it was a terrible sight.
“Lil’ Lin, put down the kitchen knife quickly.” Gu Qingxue saw that Gu Lin was holding a large kitchen knife in his small hands. She was afraid that he would hurt himself, so she quickly went up to stop him.
“Mother, you’re back.” Gu Lin looked at the potato sticks on the chopping board and lowered his head apologetically. “Lingbao wants to eat fried potatoes. I wanted to cut some shredded potatoes, but I don’t know how to cut them…”
“Big brother, the shredded potatoes you cut are so thick.” Dumbo picked up a potato stick on the table and gestured with it. He realized that the ‘shredded potatoes’ were even thicker than his thumb.
Lingbao saw that Gu Lin was blushing in embarrassment and hurriedly hugged his arm. “I just want to eat potato sticks today. I don’t want to eat shredded potatoes anymore.”
“Alright, then mother will make potato sticks for you to eat. Lil’ Lin, you’re still young. You don’t have to work in the kitchen early in the morning. Mother will cook for you. You can go out and play.” Gu Qingxue could not bear it and reached out her hand, she touched Gu Lin’s head.
It was said that the children of poor families would mature early, but she did not want to let these three children mature too early. She wanted to see them grow up without any worries.
Gu Lin nodded obediently and took his brother and sister out to play first.
Gu Qingxue rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands. Then, she put some salt into the water to cook the potato sticks. After that, she drained the water and sprinkled some starch on them. Then, she fried them with peanut oil until they were fragrant. She even added the ketchup that was left in the research lab’s refrigerator. She made a plate of french fries for the three cubs.
At the same time, she also heated the stewed meat on the stove. In less than 15 minutes, a table full of delicious lunch was served.
After eating, Gu Qingxue let the three children clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Then, she rushed into the room and entered the research lab to start her research.
Rong Zhan’s matter could not be delayed. She had to figure out what kind of poison he was poisoned with as soon as possible so that she could apply the right medicine and earn the 10,000 points as soon as possible!
Gu Lin did not dare to bring his sister-in-law along to disturb his mother. After dinner, he brought them to the village entrance to play with his little friends.
Other than the three children in the village, there were also children from other villagers’ homes. The oldest among them was only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old. Gu Lin and his siblings were about four or five years old, and they were quite popular among the children.
Lingbao had not seen her friends for a few days. At this time, she was far away from them, so she shouted loudly, “Zhou Xiaohua, I’m here to play with you!”
