I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 7 Eating is more important than anything else

After packing up the things to be sent to the Bai family, Jia Guizhi told Gu Wenxuan, who had been sent back to her room to rest, "You stay at home honestly. After I deliver the things to the Bai family, I will accompany your father to the mountain to deal with the aftermath. Your grandma will help you boil medicine later."

Gu Wenxuan hummed and obediently lay down on her side in her low, dim little room.

The back of her neck was still aching, but what made her most uncomfortable was not the pain, but the imbalance between the excessive soul power and her weak body.

This imbalance would not only limit her strength, but also make her new body feel dizzy, tired and weak at any time.

Accompanied by slight noises and smells of medicine coming from the kitchen, Gu Wenxuan hugged her thin and hard quilt and slowly fell asleep.

It was not until noon that Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi returned together. Li, who had already prepared dinner, sent her eldest daughter-in-law Jia Guizhi to call Gu Wenxuan to get up and eat.

Thanks to Gu Wenxuan, the food at the Gu family was very good today. There was a big pot of stewed pancakes made with white flour, bacon, and fresh wild vegetables. It was greasy and fragrant. The two greedy little ones rooted right at the kitchen door.

Joining them at the kitchen door were Gu Wenxuan's second uncle Gu Yongqing, second brother Gu Wenhai, and third brother Gu Wenche, who had returned home half a cup of tea earlier than Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi.

Although the three of them were also greedy, that was just a normal reaction when faced with delicious food. They were waiting here not for the purpose of eating, but to listen to Gu Wenxuan's grandmother Li's story about how Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou encountered bad guys this morning.

The three of them were very upset that they were not at home at this time. As soon as Gu Yongming and Jia Guizhi entered the yard, they heard Gu Yongqing say to Li: "Mom, such a big thing happened in our family, why didn't you and big brother think of sending someone to call me?"

Gu Yongming walked over, scooped water for himself and Jia Guizhi to wash their hands and faces, and said to Gu Yongqing in a gentle voice: "Wenxuan and the others didn't suffer any loss, otherwise, do you think I could leave you behind?"

Although the two children were injured, the people who hurt them died instantly. This left Gu Yongming with only heartache for the two children, without the ruthless determination to get rid of the perpetrators.

If not, he would have to gather a group of people to dig out the guys who dared to hurt his daughter, and then beat them up so badly that their parents wouldn't be able to recognize those two bastards.

"Guizhi, go and wake Wenxuan up. The cured meat stewed pancakes I made for lunch today won't taste as good if they get cold." Li said to Jia Guizhi, who had washed her hands and face, in the kitchen, across from her two sons and four grandchildren: "I've hung her medicine out to dry. She can drink it after she finishes her meal."

Jia Guizhi agreed, turned around and went to Gu Wenxuan's room.

Her movements were very gentle, and her voice when she called Gu Wenxuan to get up was also very soft, completely different from her usual crisp and refreshing style.

Gu Wenxuan had just arrived and had not slept very well to begin with. After Jia Guizhi called her "Wenxuan" twice in succession, she slowly opened her eyes.

"How do you feel? Do you want to eat something? Your grandma made some bacon pancakes for lunch today. I guess she wanted to give you some nourishment."

Gu Wenxuan immediately got up and said, "I want to eat! Can I eat now?" The physical discomfort was still bothering her, but the word "eat" was too tempting to her.

On the one hand, she wanted to replenish her energy and make her body better, but on the other hand, she really hadn't eaten a normal meal for a long time.

In the world where she and Bai Jingzhou originally lived, humans had already normalized "eating grass" due to the extreme shortage of food.

The main ingredients of the nutrient solution and compressed dry food that most people use to supplement nutrition and maintain vital signs are precisely "grass" including plant straw, as well as powder ground from bones, fish bones and other materials in processing plants.

However, staple foods, vegetables and meat, which were once common in the human diet, have become scarce commodities that only a few people can enjoy because they are too expensive.

Gu Wenxuan could have been one of the "minority", but no matter how much income she had, she couldn't stop her from being "nosy".

Gu Wenxuan visits those children who lost their parents during the natural disasters and can only survive on the minimum guarantee provided by the base every month, and also brings them a batch of supplies.

Influenced by her, those passionate evolvers and managers in the base also devoted some energy to paying attention to those children.

Thanks to them, not only do the staff responsible for distributing the minimum security dare not withhold the materials that the children deserve, but even those who do not do their job and rely on bullying the weak and snatching survival resources do not dare to extend their evil claws to those children.

With such a large fixed expense, Gu Wenxuan had to spend her income carefully.

Not to mention spending a lot of money to buy normal food, she didn't even have enough financial resources to support Bai Jingzhou, whom she brought home.

Fortunately, her grandfather and parents were all high-income earners in the base, and they had the money to raise another Bai Jingzhou. Moreover, they liked Bai Jingzhou very much and were willing to raise him as their own child like Gu Wenxuan and her brother.

Even when Gu Wenxuan occasionally had a good meal, she would go straight home to rely on her parents for support.

But the nature of her job meant that she couldn't do this often, so at this moment, when she smelled the overbearing aroma coming from the kitchen after the pot lid was opened, Gu Wenxuan couldn't help but drooling.

She quickly put on her shoes, and after walking out of the house with Jia Guizhi, she quickly washed her hands in the clean water that Gu Yongming had just scooped.

The four boys in the family and her second uncle Gu Yongqing gathered around.

The two little ones pulled at her clothes and called her sister. Her second and third brothers asked her how she was feeling and whether it hurt where she was hit.

Her second uncle was slow to speak and couldn't get a word in. He wanted to speak several times but was overtaken by Gu Wenxuan's second and third brothers. In the end, he could only stand silently outside the "encirclement" formed by his nephew and son with a concerned look on his face, looking like a big punching bag.

It was not the first time that Gu Wenxuan was surrounded by chattering children. While washing her hands, she handled her four younger brothers at home with ease.

Soon, Li came out of the kitchen carrying a large wooden basin filled with bacon and braised pancakes, "Everyone come and eat."

The two little ones cheered and ran towards the dining table without looking back, leaving Gu Wenxuan behind.

Gu Wenxuan's second and third brothers were older after all, and although they were also greedy, they still accompanied Gu Wenxuan to the dining table, one on each side.

Gu Yongqing originally wanted to show some concern for his niece Gu Wenxuan, but ended up not getting a chance to speak the whole time. He only heard Gu Wenxuan call him "Second Uncle" at the very beginning:...I felt so depressed.
