Gu Nian promptly let out a yawn.
Mrs. Jiang quickly said, "Niannian, are you sleepy? Hurry up and get to bed."
"I'll go back and sleep with my brother, otherwise it'll be too crowded and you and dad won't have a place to sleep," Gu Nian said.
Actually, she wanted to quickly go back and test the spring water to see if it was as magical as she thought.
But Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "It's alright, after all this midnight fuss, I can't sleep anyway. You three sleep well together, and while I'm not sleepy, I'll hurry and finish the soles of your little shoes, so you can have new shoes to wear!"
Gu Nian's clothes were hand-me-downs from Little Hu, worn by older siblings first, then by younger ones, almost unrecognizable now.
A while back, they were busy with work in the fields, and Mrs. Jiang didn't have time to make new ones for her. Conveniently, she had some time these few days and wanted to catch up.
