Chapter 193: The Youngster, Jiang Xun (4) (1/2)

Gu Qingyao found a pair of flannel trousers. Although they were not made of cotton, the flannel trousers were made of thicker material and lined with a thick layer of fleece.

She shortened and hemmed them, then called Li Fangting over.

“Tingting, come here.”

Li Fangting obediently went over and Gu Qingyao handed her the clothes. “Put this on. I’ll make a pair of cotton trousers for you tonight. You wear this first. If you’re cold, you can stay by the brazier.”

Li Fangting was very obedient and she quickly put on the garments.

The quilted jacket was very warm. Although it appeared to be made of old material, the moment she touched it, she could tell that the cotton stuffing was very soft and warm.

Gu Qingyao’s quilted jacket was too big for her, but she had no other option, so she just had to make do for now.

Once they finished with this, Gu Qingyao went to the kitchen, only to realize there was medicine brewing on the small stove. It was probably her grandfather who had prepared it.

There was no one in the kitchen at the moment, so she added some water from the medicinal spring in her interspace.

She had spent several decades of her previous life developing this medicinal spring. It was effective in improving health and increasing the potency of medicines.

When she was done, she took an old hen from her interspace and found her largest clay pot. She placed it on another stove and began to make chicken soup.

This was a hen that she and Mo Beihan had collected from a village during their travels. She had many of them in her interspace, all cleaned and ready so she could immediately put it into the pot to boil.

This clay pot was bigger, so she could just put the entire chicken in. Gu Qingyao added plenty of water and made a big pot of soup.

Li Fangting came over. She was now warm, but she felt frightened when she thought of how much blood her mother had lost, and her little face was pale.

When Gu Qingyao saw her, she soothed her by saying, “Don’t be frightened. We have medicine and good food. When your mother eats more nutritious food, she will quickly regain her health.”

Li Fangting chewed on her lip. Her eyes were red. “This is the third one. Mother had two other children, but Grandma beat her until she miscarried one of them. She lost the other from exhaustion because she spent all day working.”

Gu Qingyao’s head spun!
