He kept his head down, his expression serious and focused.
Gu Chen's profile was very attractive, with tousled hair, firm features, clearly defined cheekbones, and an exceptionally smooth jawline.
His straight nose was handsome and carried a restrained air of masculinity.
Ji Pianran looked at the man in front of her.
A cold face that had actually turned slightly red.
She had to admit, Gu Chen was indeed very handsome.
Otherwise, how could Ji Pianran have married him in the first place.
Gu Chen cleaned her wound.
Then he carefully pressed his fingertip against the side of the wound.
He checked to see if the surrounding skin was swollen.
His fingertip was soft and warm, and his movements were light.
Ji Pianran felt like every inch of skin he passed over was about to burn.
This kind of action should only be done by intimate lovers.
Why is he being intimate with me?
Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that there was no swelling around the area.
He then took out the gauze and tape, arranged the gauze, pressed it gently onto the wound, and carefully taped it in place.
To be honest,
Ji Pianran is really a natural beauty.
Even her feet are exceptionally beautiful.
They are small and delicate, with tender skin.
Even though she is tired from working every day.
She has to walk a lot and it is very hard work.
But her hands and feet are still delicate and tender.
It is really amazing.
Gu Chen is a man after all, and it is impossible for him to hold such a pair of feet without any thoughts in his heart.
But he knows that he cannot rush.
Right now, there are still three days left, and he must do everything he can to keep her.
Only by keeping this woman by his side
will their family have a future.
He swallowed hard, 'Okay.'
Ji Pianran heard okay and hurriedly withdrew her foot.
It was really embarrassing.
But a few minutes felt like an eternity.
She reached up and rearranged the stray hairs in front of her forehead behind her ear.
Trying to hide her flustered and pounding heart.
'Thank you,'
Gu Chen smiled.
'Don't say thank you to me, okay?'
Ji Pianran blinked, her heart pounding.
Don't say thank you to him?
Is that really okay?
"By the way, you don't need to go to work today, just rest at home. I'll be back with the vegetables, and there should be more money. Now we don't have to worry about money anymore.'
Gu Chen anxiously reminded her.
Ji Bianran shook her head and gave a faint smile.
'It's fine, it's just a scratch, I'm not hurt. I can still do it.'
She was used to working for herself, and she really didn't know what to do when she was idle.
Besides, Gu Chen is now selling vegetables and making a profit.
It's true that she makes more money than if she did manual labour herself.
But she still feels that every little bit counts.
After all, there are so many things that require money to get by.
She said this and got up to get out of bed.
Gu Chen was startled and hurriedly held her hand.
'Listen to me, you've been tired for so many years, and it won't hurt you to rest for a day.'
Ji Pianran's hands were soft and delicate, and they were also very small. It was hard to imagine that such hands had done all the dirty and tiring work.
The moment she held her hand, Gu Chen's heart trembled.
The urge in his heart to protect her grew stronger.
Gu Chen's hands were large, warm and dry.
Holding them like this, Ji Pianran's heart tightened again and again.
That fluttering feeling welled up again without warning.
She hastily pulled her hand out.
'Okay, I get it.'
For some reason, this time, she suddenly lost the courage to argue with him.
She obediently nodded.
Seeing her parents' loving scene, Tangtang was overjoyed.
She bounced up and down on the bed a few times.
'Dad, Tangtang's hungry. Is it time for milk?'
Since she had drunk her first ever glass of formula milk last night, Tang Tang had remembered the taste very well.
It was sweet and fragrant, and she wanted to drink it again!
She wanted to drink it every day!
Gu Chen turned his head and looked at Tang Tang, and saw that the little girl looked like a greedy cat.
He couldn't help but laugh.
He nodded, in a tone of affection.
'Okay, Dad will make you some milk, you go sit with Mum for a while, and then we can eat.'
He finished, and left the room.
He walked across the yard and into the kitchen.
It was gradually getting light.
When he returned to the kitchen, the congee and eggs were already cooked. Gu Chen served the congee and prepared the milk powder for Tang Tang.
He also peeled the eggs and then took them into the living room.
Ji Pianran came out with Tang Tang in her arms.
The three of them sat down at the small wooden table in the living room and started eating breakfast.
When Tangtang saw the milk powder, she was overjoyed.
Without a word, she picked up the cup and gulped it down.
In no time, a cup of thick milk was drunk to the bottom.
The little girl licked her lips contentedly.
She smiled innocently at Ji Piaran and Gu Chen.
Ji Piaran stroked Tangtang's head and gave her an egg that Gu Chen had already peeled.
'Eat it, eggs are nutritious,'
The little girl reached out and took the egg, and began to eat it in big bites.
To be honest, even eggs were not something that Tangtang could eat often before Gu Chen was reborn.
She could only eat them twice a week.
It wasn't that Ji Pianran was reluctant to eat them, it was just that they were really too poor.
A woman who was raising a child while also earning money had a lot of limitations on what she could do.
This meant that her income was naturally much lower.
Ji Pianran saw that Tangtang was eating well and did not need her help.
So she quietly lowered her head and went to drink the porridge in her bowl.
Gu Chen looked at the simple breakfast on the table and felt a little awkward.
'I didn't prepare anything for today. When I come back from selling vegetables later, I'll sell more food, and the breakfast will be better tomorrow.'
Hearing him say that, Ji Pianran hurriedly looked up.
'It's already very good.'
Compared to her usual multigrain pancakes and pickles, this congee and egg was really very good.
Gu Chen knew what kind of life she had been living.
The guilt in his heart was born again.
He lifted the bowl and gulped down the porridge.
He just wanted to earn money now!
Tangtang had finished eating the egg by now.
The child had a small appetite, and with a cup of milk and an egg, her tummy was already bulging.
Gu Chen saw her finish eating and gave her a rub on the head.
'Tangtang, are you full?'
The little girl nodded obediently.
Gu Chen smiled.
'Then, we should go to the city to sell vegetables!'
'Yes, Tangtang is going to help!'
The little girl said, then stuck out her hand for Gu Chen to hug.
Gu Chen picked up Tangtang in one go, looked at Ji Pianran and said, 'You eat slowly, I'll go wash Tangtang's face.'
Then he hugged Tangtang and walked towards his house.
Gu Chen's house didn't have a dining table, just a small wooden table, only a little taller than the small stool.
He walked out of the house with Sugar Sugar in his arms.
Ji Pianran looked up and suddenly noticed that Gu Chen's cotton shoes were dirty and old.
The black cotton fabric in front had loosened a bit.
You could clearly see the white cotton inside.
She hurriedly said, 'Wait a minute.'
After that, she stood up and returned to her room with pain.
She opened the box placed on the bedside table.
She took out a pair of light blue cotton shoes from it.
The thick white soles were sturdy and the cotton lining was full of cotton.
The upper part of the shoe was embroidered with a cloud pattern, which looked beautiful and delicate.
Ji Bianran had made these shoes, thinking of making them for him to wear during the Chinese New Year.
