356 Obviously Getting On In Years (1/2)
Perhaps… if grandmother wouldn't have left so soon, she wouldn't have left with many regrets.
She just couldn't get grandmother's last words out of her mind.
While she was mulling over this, little Huanhuan had already run to the staircase.
She pointed to the second floor and said in a sweet and innocent tone, ”Sister Xuxu, can I go upstairs?”
At the age of three, her pronunciation was unclear and hearing her lispy pronunciation would melt one's heart.
”Of course you can.” Xuxu nodded her head with a smile and took a step towards her.
The doctor advised that Huanhuan could only take bland food. Since she won't be returning to the office in the afternoon, Xuxu went to the supermarket to buy some groceries.
Yan Rusheng came home and heard voices of adults and children coming from the kitchen. He changed into his slippers and walked with quiet steps to the dining room entrance.
In the kitchen, Xuxu was wearing a floral print apron and julienning the carrots in front of the stove.
After taking Huanhuan home, Xuxu gave her a sponge bath and changed her into a set of clean clothes. Xuxu then had her naturally curled hair tied up into two braids.
The child was already in good spirits as she was no longer running a fever, and added to that, the red blisters on her body started to heal.
Xuxu brought her a stool and let her sit by her side.
Looking at the shredded carrot, the little girl pouted her lips, ”I don't like to eat carrots.”
Hearing this, Xuxu took out a stalk of vegetable from the basin and teased her, ”Then just have green vegetables.”
She knew that most children didn't fancy greens and carrots.
As expected, Huanhuan knitted her eyebrows. With pouted lips, she shook her head. ”Huanhuan don't like to eat green vegetables either.”
Xuxu said firmly, ”Green vegetables and carrots are nutritious. You cannot be picky about food.”
”Huanhuan likes to eat Kentucky fried chicken.” After saying this, the little girl turned to Xuxu with a look of anticipation.
She was so full of wits. After beating around the bush, all she wanted was to request for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Xuxu smiled in response. ”Those are junk food.”
