I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Everyone sat down at the dinner table in a lively atmosphere. Li placed large bowls filled with bacon and braised pancakes in front of Gu Wenxuan's grandfather, Li herself, their two sons, two daughters-in-law, as well as Gu Wenxuan, Gu Wenhai and Gu Wenche.

As for the youngest, the fourth brother Gu Wen Ze and the fifth brother Gu Wen Yuan, Li only filled half a bowl for each of them.

Gu Wenxuan held the bowl that belonged to her, took a deep breath, and swallowed subconsciously.

The intoxicating aroma of authentic food surrounded her. The greasy shredded pancakes, the tender shepherd's purse, and the crystal clear bacon tempted her. The taste and the appearance made Gu Wenxuan forget her physical discomfort.

She was just like everyone else in the Gu family. Although she was very greedy and wanted to eat bowl after bowl of rice, she actually chewed it slowly when she started eating.

At that time, Gu Wenxuan didn't know that the delicious but not filling bacon stewed pancakes were only available to everyone except her, the injured soldier, for one bowl or half a bowl.

Li, who had spent most of her life figuring out how to save money, prepared bacon stewed pancakes. After giving everyone a portion, the remaining amount was just enough for Gu Wenxuan to have another bowl.

The other members of the Gu family, including the two little kids, obviously knew who the remaining bowl belonged to.

Although the two little kids were envious, they were very well behaved and no one asked for more. The adults and Gu Wenxuan's second and third brothers all took unlimited amounts of wild vegetable dumplings in tacit understanding.

Gu Wenxuan didn't pay attention at first. Seeing that everyone was eating wild vegetable dumplings, she thought that the bacon stewed pancakes had been divided up.

It was not until her bowl was empty that Li filled it with another bowl very smoothly. She then realized that the bacon and braised pancakes were not eaten up, but that everyone left the remaining bowl for her.

"Milk..." Her nose felt a little sour and she held the chopsticks for a long time without moving.

Li gestured to her lovingly to eat quickly, "You are injured, so eat more good food so that you can get better quickly."

Others nodded in agreement.

Gu Wenxuan suppressed the complicated emotions surging in her heart and said to everyone in a gentle voice: "Can I take it in the evening? I have to drink a big bowl of medicine later."

This way, Mrs. Li wouldn't have to continue cooking for her at night.

Li obviously guessed Gu Wenxuan's true intention. She sighed secretly, but did not show any sadness on her face. "Okay, then I'll give it to you when the milk is heated up in the evening."

Gu Wenxuan responded with a smile, then she picked up the wild vegetable dumpling that Jia Guizhi had put into her bowl and continued to eat it with relish.

After she finished her meal and took her medicine, Gu Wenxuan was sent back to her room.

She walked slowly back and forth in the narrow room for about quarter of an hour before climbing onto the earthen kang, ready to continue resting by sleeping.

However, before she could lie down on her side, the voice of Bai Jingzhou's mother Ning Cuizhi could be heard from the courtyard gate.

Gu Wenxuan pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what Ning Cuizhi wanted to hear.

She was worried that something had happened to Bai Jingzhou.

Fortunately, Ning Cuizhi's expression and tone did not show excessive worry and anxiety.

She stuffed her basket and her husband's cloth bag into Jia Guizhi and Lin Shuzhen's pockets respectively, "We brought ten kilograms of polished rice and ten kilograms of millet to make porridge for Wenxuan while she recovers from her injuries."

She didn't mention the two baskets stuffed full of eggs, brown sugar, red dates and a piece of pork, but Jia Guizhi, who had two baskets stuffed in her hands, had already seen it with her own eyes.

Not only did she see these things, she also spotted the familiar purse under the brown sugar bag. It was the purse she had secretly hidden in a basket and sent to the Bai family. Now the Bai family had sent it back to her...

Jia Guizhi was helpless. The Bai family was determined not to accept the money. Moreover, the gift they gave her back really didn't take advantage of her family at all.

"Sister-in-law, stop staring at me." Ning Cuizhi smiled and gently pushed her, "Quickly find a place to put your things first. I came here this time to talk to you about other things."

Jia Guizhi sighed and went to the kitchen with Lin Shuzhen to carry the things.

Gu Wenxuan's grandparents, father and second uncle, who were a step late to come out to greet the guests, warmly invited Bai Chong and Ning Cuizhi to the main hall. Gu Wenxuan's siblings stood in a row and greeted the couple with a smile.

Ning Cuizhi observed Gu Wenxuan carefully, "You look much better than this morning. Good boy, go back to your room and stay here. Your aunt is not a stranger, so there is no need for you to force yourself to come out to greet me."

Hearing her say "not an outsider", Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she subconsciously turned her head to glance at her old man.

Gu Yin was not as sharp-minded as her. At this moment, the old man was smiling and thanking Bai Chong.

To be honest, Bai Chong's kindness to his family is no less than Bai Lizheng's.

When Gu Yongming was injured, they didn't get a penny, but they tried their best to help him. Later, they started to pay back the money. The county doctor said that at least 20 taels would be needed to treat the injury, but the doctor only charged them 12 taels in total.

Although Bai Chong found an excuse, saying that he collected and prepared many of the medicinal herbs himself, so the cost was low, the Gu family could not ignore the kindness of the other party just because he did not take credit for it.

And this time, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan were in danger while on their way to see a patient. Not only did Bai Chong and his wife not blame their family, they also helped Gu Wenxuan treat her injuries and recuperate for free.

It is hard not to like such reasonable, kind and generous people.

The adults chatted and laughed as they entered the main hall one after another, while Gu Wenxuan was "driven" back to her room by her younger brothers to continue resting.

Gu Wenxuan was both moved and helpless. She originally wanted to hear what else Bai Chong and his wife had to say besides returning the gift, and whether this matter was related to Bai Jingzhou. But now, she was physically isolated and could not hear anything at all.

Lying on the earthen kang, Gu Wenxuan fell asleep again. It was not until the sun set that Jia Guizhi came into the room and called her to eat. Only then did she open her eyelids, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and move her weak body out of the room.

Her dinner was still stewed pancakes with bacon, while the rest of the family had mixed flour steamed bread and wild vegetable soup.

After the meal, Gu Wenxuan, without being urged by Li and others, consciously reached out and picked up the large bowl of bitter medicine soup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Anyone who has taken Chinese medicine knows that the hotter the medicine is and the slower you drink it, the longer the smell will linger and torment you, so every time, Gu Wenxuan would let the medicine cool down a little before drinking it in one gulp.

After drinking the medicine as quickly as possible, she picked up the rice bowl and planned to have some wild vegetable soup to change the taste. Unexpectedly, Li gave her a small piece of irregular brown sugar, "Your Aunt Bai sent it to you to sweeten your mouth."

There was nothing wrong with what she said and her act of giving candy, but the expressions and looks that she and the other people at the table gave Gu Wenxuan made Gu Wenxuan feel uncontrollably uneasy.
