MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 650 frostbite ointment
"Shao Yu is more capable. Jiulang will go out with you and everyone will be more energetic."
The fourth aunt was grateful for his move, so she said with gratitude in her eyes.
"Jiu Di has been sick for so many days. He should have gone out for a walk long ago. Before, I was afraid of delaying his treatment. Now that everything is on track, it's time to look forward, right?"
Gu Jiulang nodded heavily. Now he is even more active in treating diseases than before. After all, he has found the value of his existence.
Luo Yi walked up to Gu Jiulang, reached out and shook his generous palm.
The late autumn evening was still a bit cool, but Gu Jiulang's hands were warm at the moment, so he knelt down and said.
“Lu Ju brought a hand stove heater. I’ll burn one for my husband tomorrow, okay?”
Gu Jiulang nodded. At this moment, he saw that although Luo Yi was not as refined and luxurious as those ladies, the love between the two of them had not diminished.
“Let’s go, dinner is ready, Ninth Brother, let’s try it this time. Danruo’s sui’an dishes are also very delicious!”
Du Jingyi came forward and said something to Gu Jiulang.
Gu Jiulang is now a hundred times more convinced of her sister-in-law, so even though she is not very old, Gu Jiulang always respects her.
After such a day of hard work, everyone is also hungry.
Especially for the children, it was the time when their bodies were growing, so they ate everything in a hurry, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
In Xitang Courtyard.
Gu Shaoyu told Du Jingyi what he wanted to say today. Du Jingyi was a little surprised at first, but he quickly came to his senses.
“General…”
Having no children in the family has never been a big deal for their family of four.
Moreover, the Du family's business has been taken over by Du Jingyi for a long time, so even if they don't follow this path, the Du family will not break up.
It's just that in the eyes of outsiders, he is always said to be the absolute son of the Du family.
Therefore, Du Jingyi was happy for his proposal, but she also thought about the situation of Ajie's family. If Brother Cong really adopted the Du surname, then the family would have to be sorted out early, and she must not let it happen. Sister is the one who suffers.
So, after thinking for a moment, he said.
“I should write to my father and mother about this matter first. They and my sister are both in Sui’ancheng. If you want to discuss this matter, it will be convenient.”
“Well, it’s fine, madam, to make the decision.”
“Brother Cong, I’d better ask first. If the child doesn’t want it, it’s not good for us parents to be too reluctant.”
Gu Shaoyu smiled when he heard this and replied to him.
“I have asked about this in advance, and the boy is very happy.”
Du Jingyi thought about it, Brother Cong liked to learn various student ideas from his father since he was a child, but there was no objection at all.
“Okay, I’ll send you a letter and ask first.”
The night is as cold as water, but everything in the General's Mansion is warm.
With Gu Jiulang having sustenance, life flew by quickly.
It rained only a few times in late autumn, and the whole Cezhou was enveloped by a gust of winter wind. The wind here was not as gentle as Jinling City, nor as cold as Sui'an City, but with a biting coldness.
Fortunately, the thermal pavilion in the General's Mansion was prepared in advance, so everyone was not so timid in the winter.
However, the floor heating still has to burn, especially in Gu Jiulang's courtyard, the fire has never stopped. Not only the house, but also the courtyard is specially modeled after the General's Mansion in Sui'an City, with hot spring water used for adjustment. Therefore, although it is cold outside, Gu Jiusi's small courtyard is extremely warm.
So his condition has improved a lot. The only troublesome thing is that the frostbite on Luo Yi's hands and feet has returned again. Sometimes the pain is so painful that she can't sleep well.
On this day, Du Jingyi bought some useful frostbite ointment from outside and delivered it to him. As soon as he walked in, he saw that Luo Yi had scratched himself so badly that some places even bled. His fingers were swollen like a mallet and were red.
Du Jingyi took two steps quickly and said distressedly.
“Hurry up, using this ointment may make you feel better.”
Luo Yi didn't expect Du Jingyi to come, so he stood up and said something.
“Sister-in-law.”
She can still learn Mandarin well now. Although she is not as good as the children, she can still open her mouth to call people.
Maid Cai'er took the ointment from Du Jingyi's hand and quickly applied it on Luo Yi's fingers.
A cold feeling hit Luo Yi, and Luo Yi quickly got over her discomfort.
So she picked up the ointment and gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile.
“This thing is so useful, it doesn’t hurt anymore!”
Most of the chilblains on her hands were caused by taking care of Gu Jiulang who was paralyzed in bed. At that time, he was always unable to take care of himself, so he had to change and wash frequently to avoid bedsores on his body.
So even in the coldest month of winter, she still needed large baskets of laundry and beds. Naturally, she fell into this habit after coming and going.
When Luo Yi saw Du Jingyi's fingers as slender as jade, there was a flash of inferiority in his eyes, but he soon felt relieved.
Then he raised his hand and said jokingly.
“Sister-in-law’s hands are so beautiful. They are as white and tender as radish seedlings, unlike mine, which look like old tree bark after working too much.”
When Cai'er translated these words, the distress in her eyes was no less than Du Jingyi's.
She had been sold since she was a child, and she had learned the rules of how to serve others. But in Gu Jiulang's small courtyard, Mrs. Luo Yi had never treated her current people, and she would always think of anything good. She, therefore Cai'er also sincerely wants to be good to Luo Yi.
Therefore, before Du Jingyi could speak, Cai'er came to her rescue.
“When Mrs. Ninth’s frostbite gets better, I will mix some gel for you to moisturize your hands. When the time comes, make more bubbles, and your skin will naturally get better.”
As soon as these words came out, Du Jingyi became a little curious.
“Can you make condensation?”
“Yes, but I have studied with my aunt in the workshop for some time, so I am good at it, but not that good.”
"In this case, the hands of the ninth younger brother and sister are in your hands. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse and get it, regardless of the price, as long as it is something that the ninth younger brother and sister can use."
“Thank you, madam.”
During the days when Cai'er was serving in the house, she also knew that Du Jingyi, the matron of the house, was never a teller, so she was not polite and began to think of things that she might need.
However, Luo Yi on the side quickly waved his hand and said.
“My hands are for work. It’s not that expensive. Cai’er knows how to prepare condensation, so it should be given to my sister-in-law.”
“I don’t lack anything, but you, who have worked so hard to take care of your ninth brother, should treat yourself well!” (End of Chapter)
