Ji Youyi pretended not to see the reaction of the two of them and ate with peace of mind. However, Brother Yuan was a little uneasy. After taking two bites, he looked at An An and Gu Ye from time to time and did not even dare to make too much noise while chewing.

Gu Ye secretly watched her reaction, hoping that she would be kind and let him take a few bites.

Unexpectedly, she didn't care about what she ate the whole time. After she was full, she even burped with satisfaction.

After Brother Yuan finished eating, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and didn't know what to do for a while.

Ji Youyi picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of tea. "Brother Yuan, please go and rest first. I will leave it to the two of them to clean up here."

Even if you haven’t eaten, you still have to work

The smile on Gu Ye's face changed. He gritted his molar teeth and narrowed his mouth and asked: "This arrangement is reasonable for the master? You can't exploit long-term workers like this, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? My master didn't say anything, but you talked too much."

Ji Youyi put down the tea cup and left the kitchen with Brother Yuan, leaving An An and Gu Ye to sit in the kitchen, whether they were thinking about life or lamenting the hardships of life.

Gu Ye watched her leave in disbelief, turned around and asked An An, "I'll forget it, is your mother really so cruel that she won't give you food?"

An An sat unmoved, looking directly at the leftovers on the table, with a so-called look.

There are still three or four pieces of bacon and some soup left. There are also one or two chopsticks of eggplant and a small half of a bowl of cucumbers. It is impossible to be full after eating.

Seeing that An An ignored him, Gu Ye was asking for trouble. He just felt strange that according to this brat's habits, he should have thrown these leftovers to him at this moment. What are you doing sitting here?

"Aren't you going back to the house to rest?" he asked with a hint of confusion.

An An said very sensibly: "You are tired today. I was also at fault for breaking the bowl. I will take care of the rest. You go and rest first."

So well-behaved and yet so sincere? Something is not right.

Gu Ye thought for a while and looked at the stove aside, feeling that this matter was not that simple.

He stood up and took action, "Since I am the long-term worker of the medicine garden, I should do these things. You should go back and rest."

An An saw him walking towards the stove with an empty bowl, and then she became anxious and planned to grab the bowl, "Since you are the long-term worker in the family, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Gu ignored him, put the empty bowl on the stove, opened the pot lid, and saw the fragrant white steamed buns.

He looked at the very annoyed An An with interest, "So our young master knows there is something fishy, ​​is he planning to live alone?"

"You, you are talking nonsense, I don't know." An An, whose little thoughts were discovered, blushed and argued, without any confidence.

Gu Ye took out the plate from the pot and looked at the three sides of the steamed buns to understand Ji Youyi's thoughts.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner." He sat down with the steamed buns. Looking at it, Ji Youyi left enough food.

An An wanted to turn around and leave in anger, but his stomach growled, reminding him not to wrong himself just for the sake of his anger.

He turned around and sat down angrily, reached out to pick up the steamed bun and gnawed on it, as if he regarded the steamed bun as his enemy.

Gu Ye poured a glass of water aside and said: "Eat slowly, no one will fight with you, don't choke."

An An was just about to say that you don't have to worry about it, but she hurriedly swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns and actually choked.

"Drink of water."

Gu Ye pushed the water glass at his hand over, An An took it up and drank it all in one gulp. The steamed bun stuck in his throat was mixed with the tea and swallowed, which alleviated the crisis.

An An patted her chest and swallowed several times before she felt better.

After he calmed down, he looked at Gu Ye and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Gu Ye responded lightly, minding his own meal of steamed buns.

I had never had such a deep feeling before, but now I am hungry and feel that this steamed bun is really delicious.

The two of them ate the steamed buns in silence, not communicating, and the atmosphere was awkward but somewhat harmonious. After Ji Youyi settled Brother Yuan, she returned to the kitchen and saw that both of them had eaten.

"Ah, why did you secretly eat the midnight snack I prepared?" She pretended to be surprised, "Didn't you say you are not allowed to eat?"

An An finished the last bite of the steamed bun, and quickly put the last piece of cucumber into his mouth. At this point, the dinner was considered complete.

He stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going back to the house after eating. You should rest early."

After An An finished eating, the plate on the table was basically empty, leaving only some soup and water, which was really leftovers this time.

Gu Ye held half a steamed bun in his hand and hadn't eaten it yet.

Ji Youyi ignored him and began to boil the bath water after emptying the pot.

Gu Ye watched her lighting the fire and said, "Master, this requires the horse to run fast and not eat grass. You can't find such a horse."

Ji Youyi looked at him without speaking, waiting for his next words.

He shook the half steamed bun in his hand: "How about some more food?"

"Isn't there vegetable soup on the table? Poor people, don't waste it." Ji Youyi said matter-of-factly: "It's already good to have dinner, but I still want more."

Gu Ye was so angry that he just finished eating half a steamed bun dipped in vegetable soup. This was probably the shabbiest meal he had ever eaten in his life, although it tasted pretty good.

Ji Youyi saw that he had finished eating and called out: "Boil the water and put it in the room."

The weather was hot, and the children always took baths in the yard. Of course, she couldn't do it, so she had to go back to the house to take a bath.

Bathing can be done for the time being in summer, but not in autumn and winter. There is an abandoned foundation behind the medicine hall. It will still be a while before the weather gets cold. Ji Youyi plans to make a boiler bathroom there with a fire for convenience after making some money.

Bathing in winter.

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Master, do you need me to help you take a bath?"

"If you dare to act like a hooligan, I will break your legs and throw them into the latrine." Ji Youyi did not give him a good look.

He didn't care, he moved the water barbecue to the inner room of the medicine hall with a playful smile, and then stood guard at the door.

He learned from Dr. Liu that Ji Youyi had given birth to a child out of wedlock and was living a hard life alone with the child. There were people who had evil intentions against her before.

After spending this time together, he understood that Ji Youyi was indeed a good woman, and it was no wonder that someone coveted her.

For this reason, he needs to be guarded even more.

It was getting late, and although there were insects and frogs chirping around, it made me feel calm.

There was a sound of water rushing in the house, and Gu Ye suddenly noticed it inadvertently. There was a beautiful scene in his mind, and he immediately felt a surge of energy and blood.

He tried hard not to think too much, to stop paying attention to the sound of water in the house, and to recite Sun Tzu's Art of War from the Thirty-Six Stratagems in his mind.

However, it was of no use at all. In the end, he had no choice but to stay away from the door of the medicine hall, sit in the courtyard, and meditate!
