Chapter 56 Sharing Pastries

This question of using one's own spear to attack another's shield was not difficult for Zhang Yunniang at all.

She quietly covered her partiality with a layer of cloak and said, "Your two brothers didn't accompany me all morning. When I was working, I turned around and saw Niuniu accompanying me. I didn't know how happy I was. This bowl of egg flowers is my reward for my good child."

Niuniu was only five years old and was easily fooled by Zhang Yunniang. While eating the egg flowers, she was still immersed in the joy of being praised by her mother as a good child.

But after eating the egg flowers, Niuniu touched her stomach and said, "Mom, I don't want to eat breakfast."

Zhang Yunniang was slightly surprised to hear this and asked, "Are you full with a bowl of egg flowers?"

Although Niuniu is small, her appetite is not small. In the morning, she needs at least a bowl of egg flowers and a bowl of porridge, and a vegetable steamed bun as big as a baby's fist.

Niu Niu said seriously: "I'm really full. If I eat a little more, I might vomit."

For rural families, the most important thing is eating. The child who has always been the most active in eating suddenly said that he couldn't eat anymore. Zhang Yunniang was naturally worried.

She reached out and touched Niu Niu's forehead. The temperature seemed normal.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you have a headache or dizziness? Do you want to sleep?"

Listening to Zhang Yunniang's series of questions, Niu Niu shook her head and said: "I'm not feeling uncomfortable, but my stomach said that I really can't eat anymore."

Zhang Yunniang's heart was still hanging, and she asked again: "Don't you want to eat porridge and vegetable steamed buns? It's my fault. I make this every day. Are you tired of it?"

Niu Niu shook her head and said: "The breakfast made by my mother is the most delicious. Niu Niu will never get tired of it."

Zhang Yunniang thought about it, turned and walked into the house, and took out a piece of fragrant soft cake.

Niuniu didn't take it and said, "Mom, if you give it to me, I will spit it out. It's a waste. I may have to wait a while before I can eat."

Zhang Yunniang had no choice but to put away the soft cake, but she was caught by Gu Zhao who had just gotten up.

"There is something good to eat!" Gu Zhao cheered and immediately surrounded Zhang Yunniang and asked for food.

Zhang Yunniang was so annoyed that she divided the soft cake into three parts.

Gu Zhao's one-third was almost devoured as soon as he got it.

Then he looked at the remaining two-thirds with eager eyes, but Zhang Yunniang had no intention of breaking the rules.

Gu Zhao saw that it was time to eat, so he jumped up and said, "I'll go call my eldest brother to eat!"

After Gu Yan came in, Gu Zhao immediately circled around his eldest brother like a little tail, and kept glancing at the cake.

Gu Yan was the eldest brother after all. His habit of taking care of his younger brother for many years made him want to hand over his one-third of the cake to Gu Zhao.

"Don't share with him, don't let him get into the habit of asking for food!" Zhang Yunniang stopped him.

Gu Yan sighed and gave Gu Zhao a helpless look, but he didn't eat the cakes. Instead, he wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his pocket, explaining to his mother: "My son will eat after he is tired from studying in the morning."

Although Gu Zhao was greedy, he had to save face and would not ask his sister for food. Instead, he urged Niuniu: "Eat quickly, I just tasted it, it's delicious!"

Niuniu shook her head helplessly.

Zhang Yunniang also wrapped up her daughter's share and stuffed it into the small purse on Niuniu's waist. She also reminded Gu Zhao: "Don't coax your sister to eat snacks, remember?"

Gu Zhao raised his head and chest and said: "Mom, who are you looking down on? I am a brother, a real man, I can't protect my sister in time, how can I snatch her food!"

Of course, if his sister took the initiative to share his food, he would not be stupid enough to refuse.

After breakfast, Zhang Yunniang hurriedly washed the dishes and invited Liu Xiaoru over: "Sister, please help me take care of the two older ones, I will take Niu Niu to the clinic."

When Liu Xiaoru heard that Niu Niu needed to see a doctor, she was more anxious than Zhang Yunniang, and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with my baby? Where is he uncomfortable? Sister, do you have enough money? If not, spend my money first!"

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but laugh, but in the end, Liu Xiaoru's panicked look diluted her inner worries.

"Can't eat."

Liu Xiaoru didn't feel relieved after hearing this explanation, but said: "Can't eat is a big deal! Sister, take her to the clinic!"

Of course, according to Liu Xiaoru's concern for Niu Niu, Niu Niu's broken skin on her hand might also be a big deal.

The clinic was not far away, and the doctor's pulse diagnosis results came out quickly.

"The child is fine, just eats less, it shouldn't be a big deal." The old doctor said.

Zhang Yunniang was still worried. After all, her daughter couldn't eat immediately after she made a wish in her dream. Who knows if she still has a hidden disease.

The old doctor said: "Now the child can run and jump, and the pulse is also very stable. If she still eats less in a few days, you can bring her here again."

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly asked: "How many days are in a few days?"

The old doctor thought for a while and said: "Five days."

Zhang Yunniang took out her purse to pay the consultation fee and grabbed a handful of copper coins.

The old doctor hurriedly said: "The child is not sick, why should I pay."

Zhang Yunniang still insisted on paying.

The old doctor said: "Neighbors come to see a doctor, as long as there is nothing wrong, I won't charge you for the consultation fee. Don't break my rules."

Zhang Yunniang gave up.

Niuniu looked at this scene and felt very familiar, as if it had happened before. She tilted her head and said skillfully: "Thank you, doctor grandpa, I wish you a long life!"

Although the old doctor was not the same person as the doctor in the town before, there was no old man who didn't like to hear this. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "You little kid is so sweet. Grandpa also wishes you good health and peace!"

Zhang Yunniang took the child out of the clinic and couldn't help but sighed, "Niuniu is really amazing. She doesn't spend money every time she goes to the clinic."

Niuniu grinned and said, "The old man with white beard told me that I don't have to take bitter medicine."

Zhang Yunniang was shocked. She didn't know that she could make a wish for such a thing. Doesn't it mean that Niuniu will always be healthy?

When she returned to the rental house, Liu Xiaoru was relieved to know that Niuniu was fine.

Gu Zhao cheered and pulled his sister to find insects.

Gu Yan glanced at his mother, then followed with a book. After he was out of the adults' sight, Gu Yan took out the one-third piece of cake in the morning, divided it into two, and handed it to his younger brother and sister.

"Eat it quickly." Gu Yan urged.

Gu Zhao's movements were quicker than anyone else's, but Niu Niu didn't take it, but said, "I really can't eat it, I'll vomit it out if I eat it."

Gu Yan touched her head and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Niu Niu shook her head and said, "No, I'm just a little greedy, maybe it will be better in a few days, brother, you eat quickly, I'll give you some too."

Gu Zhao looked at the cakes that Niu Niu took out of her purse and couldn't help swallowing again.

Gu Yan glanced at the stupid brother who was almost drooling at the side, and thought to himself: Brats are really not as good as the obedient and soft sister!
