Chapter 332: Doting Third Brother (2) (1/2)

Gu Jinlin smiled. “Don’t worry, I can make breakfast. You cook every day. If we exhaust you, Younger Uncle and Father will have my hide.”

Gu Qingyao was amused. “No, cooking is not at all tiring.”

“I still can’t bear to let you do all this!”

“What are we eating?” Gu Qingyao stretched her neck to peek.

Gu Jinlin replied, “Porridge and pancakes.”

There was mixed grain porridge cooking in the pot and Gu Jinlin was making rye flour pancakes. For vegetables, they had a dish of preserved vegetables and a dish of pickled beans. He had also cooked an egg each for Gu Qingyao and the two children.

When Gu Qingyao arrived, she had brought thirty eggs with her, some meat, and some fine grain.

Zhou Ping’s heart ached to see that they had used up three eggs for breakfast. Also, her son had woken up early to make breakfast. She felt that Gu Qingyao had come here to play instead of taking care of them.

Their family still had to feed her. If the food was slightly inferior, her husband and son’s hearts would ache. They spent all day thinking about how to get some good food for her.

Zhou Ping looked at her eldest son. “Jinlin! You’ve been busy at work lately, you should eat better. You look rather pale lately. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

Gu Qingyao turned to look at her third brother and felt that he did indeed seem a little more haggard than before. He had a lot of work lately! He had not rested well. He should indeed eat better food to nourish himself.

But Third Brother did not return in the afternoon and often came back at midnight. He seldom ate at home.

“That’s right, Third Brother. You should take care of yourself. Here, have this egg to build up your strength.”

Gu Qingyao placed her boiled egg in front of Gu Jinlin.

Gu Jinlin smiled and returned the egg to her. “No need! I’ve been busy at work lately. After this period is over, I’ll be all right. You eat it. I’m in good health. Don’t worry!”
