Sanhu calmly went to the kitchen, saw Gu Nian tending the fire, while Dahu was busy stir-frying, and quickly walked over to Gu Nian, "Little Sis, why don't you go outside and take a break? I'll help Big Brother with the fire."
"Alright, then I'll trouble Third Brother." Anyway, the meat and seasonings were already in the pot, she just needed to make sure it didn't burn. There wasn't much more she could do here.
The rest, Dahu could handle.
Gu Nian went outside, fetched a basin of water, washed her face and hands clean, and finally felt comfortable.
Little Hu pulled Gu Nian along, chattering about what he and Sanhu did today. Gu Nian quietly listened, occasionally showing a surprised expression and praising him a couple of times, being a good listener.
In the Lin Family's small courtyard, everyone except the injured Erhu, who could only lie in bed, had smiles on their faces, creating an exceptionally warm atmosphere.
