The little girl's bones were soft, as if it would break with a little force.
Gu Yundong didn't dare to exert any force, and she held her very carefully.
"Little sister, little sister? Wake up."
She hugged her a little further away from the kang bed before shaking her gently to wake her up.
The little girl stared in a daze, opened her eyes and looked at her blankly , "Big sister ?"
"Come on, open your mouth and drink this."
"Oh." Gu Yunke didn't even ask any questions, and without seing clearly what was handed to her, she opened her small mouth, drinking trustingly and obediently.
After taking a few sips, she froze for a moment , "Sweet?"
"Drink as much as you like."
Gu Yundong was holding milk from the space. She had warmed it up on the fire a little before feeding it to Gu Yunke.
The little girl was really too thin. She was obviously three years old, but now she could not even walk steadily, and she would spend more than half of the day in drowsiness .
Gu Yunke was different from Gu Yunshu. The latter was a boy after all, and still occupies a small position in Old man Gu's heart. Naturally, he eats a little more than Gu Yunke. Among them, he was the one with the best physical condition.
Gu Yundong had no experience in taking care of young children, but there was milk in the space, which as the most suitable food to supplement Gu Yunke's nutrition.
After drinking most of the bowl of milk, Gu Yun couldn't help burping.
"It's delicious."
Gu Yundong put the bowl down. Seeing her squinting her eyes and looking like she was enjoying herself, she couldn't help but soften her heart and her tone became much softer, "Go on to sleep."
She put the little girl in the middle, tucked the quilt, and Gu Yundong sat back by the fire again.
The little girl was not fully awake after all, so after after a while, she fell asleep again.
The whole room was silent, Gu Yundong couldn't help raising her head to look at the wooden beam above her head, suddenly enjoying the environment very much.
It was really quiet, there will never be zombie's cries in her ears, and she did not need to wait with her nerves tensed all the time.
She even had relatives by her side, which was something she nerver dared to think about in her previous life.
It felt... like a dream.
"Dongdong..." Mother Yang's voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Are you awake?" Gu Yundong suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that a long time had passed before she knew it.
"Yes, need to get up early."
It was Yin time, calculated in modern time, it was only four o'clock, and it's not dawn yet.
However, Mother Yang had already developed a biological clock. When she was at home, she would get up early to cook, feed the pigs and clean the yard. Later, on the way to escape from famine, because her mind was not very good, no one arranged for her to keep a vigil at night. Although she sometimes had to travel overnight, Mother Yang's wake-up time did not change much.
Gu Yundong stood up and moved her hands and feet, took the bag on the side and handed it to her, "This is for you to eat."
Yang looked down at the bag, her eyes lit up, "Steamed buns?"
"Hush" Gu Yundong looked at the two children who were still sleeping.
Mother Yang immediately covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously, she looked a little cute.
The corners of Gu Yundong's mouth twitched twice, "You eat one to fill your stomach first, then roast the rest on the fire, and give them to them to eat when they wake up. I'm going to sleep for a while. If there is any sound outside or someone comes over, you must remember to wake me you, do you understand ?"
Mother Yang was already awake, and she could rest, assured that she could let her guard the house. She had to take the opportunity to sleep for a few hours, otherwise her body would not be able to bear it.
"I know."
Mother Yang responded earnestly, and Gu Yundong then laid down and fell asleep.
She did not know how long she slept, but she was waken up by the heat. Just as she was narrowing her eyes, she heard Gu Yunke's tender voice.
"...Really, I drank it last night. It was sweet and delicious."
