Chapter 50 This child is so greedy that he is crying
Gu Chan woke up before dawn the next day.
Sitting up from the bed, she stretched and complained, "Damn biological clock! It's so good now. I go to bed later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken. If I continue like this, sooner or later I will suffer from endocrine disorders, which will affect my development. ah!"
After complaining, Gu Chan got out of bed with a helpless expression and prepared to go out to wash up.
But as soon as she went out and walked into the yard, she found that Zhang Wanshan was already working in the yard.
The yard of Gu Chan's house is not big, just about half the size of a basketball court. The right side was originally a self-retained vegetable plot, where they usually grew cabbage, onions, garlic and the like.
Now Zhang Wanshan has dug up the vegetable field, then stepped on an open space with his feet, and then found bamboo to weave a fence around it to form a small shed.
Seeing Gu Chan getting up, Zhang Wanshan said while busy, "The rice is steamed for you, and I also fried a bowl of cabbage for you. Go and eat it!"
"Well! Thank you, grandpa." Gu Chan smiled and thanked him.
She ran to the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of water, quickly washed her face and rinsed her teeth. Then she ran to open the lid of the pot, took out the fragrant rice and stir-fried cabbage, and started to eat it.
After eating half the bowl, Gu Chan remembered to ask, "Grandpa, have you eaten?"
"I ate steamed buns this morning, don't worry about me, just eat yours."
"Oh grandpa, our family is rich now, and it's not like we can't afford rice. Just eat rice! Eat less steamed buns from now on." Gu Chan reminded her with a distressed look on her face.
Zhang Wanshan just nodded in response.
In the eyes of the older generation in rural areas like them, all delicious food must be reserved for their grandchildren. Even if they have to eat the cornstarch every day, they are happy.
Gu Chan had to say that in many cases, rural people were still very simple, which she liked very much.
Seeing that Zhang Wanshan was being careless, she had no choice but to finish the meal quickly, then wash the dishes and go out to treat the little fox.
The little fox is in much better condition today than yesterday.
At this time, it was lying in the wooden basin, its breathing had stabilized, and its body began to move slowly.
Gu Chan went to get a steamed bun, poured half a bowl of water, tore the steamed bun into pieces and soaked it in the water until it became a paste. Then she picked up the little fox, opened its mouth, and slowly fed it in.
The little fox had a hard time eating at first, but as it ate more and more food, its strength recovered, and soon it wolfed down the food, and its appetite obviously improved a lot.
Gu Chan laughed happily when she saw it, "Grandpa, it eats so fast! It looks like a newborn white kitten, so cute! Oops! This steamed bun is not enough, I will feed it another one."
"Okay, you take care of it! I'm almost building a shed here, and now I just need a food trough." Zhang Wanshan replied happily.
Gu Chan nodded, went to get another steamed bun, made it into a paste, and continued to feed the little fox.
After the little fox ate two big steamed buns, he became energetic.
Gu Chan put it on the ground and encouraged it, "Stand up quickly. You can't lie down anymore. You must be strong and live well."
[Mom, I understand. 】The little fox lay on the ground, trying desperately to stand up, and answered Gu Chan with a milky voice.
Gu Chan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Don't yell, I am a two-legged beast and you are a mysterious beast. We are not the same breed. I am not your mother."
[I don’t care, my mother doesn’t want me anymore. You saved me. You will be my mother from now on. 】The little fox shouted out stubbornly.
"..." Gu Chan.
At this moment, she was actually a little moved.
It is said that children who have experienced hardship can become masters early. She didn't quite understand this sentence before, but now looking at the poor little fox in front of her, she finally believed it.
It was weak since birth and was given up by its own mother. If Gu Chan and the others hadn't gone to the fox den to take it out, I'm afraid it would have been a corpse by now.
Now that it has a chance to survive, it not only tries its best to survive, but also knows how to be grateful.
It is enough to prove that this fox is not bad! He is a good fox.
Therefore, Gu Chan did not say it again, but kept encouraging it, "Quickly, work hard, you can do it, stand up."
[Ah...I want to stand up...I fight...]
The little fox kept yelling and tried his best to stand up. Every time he stood up and fell down, he tried to stand again despite the pain.
Gu Chan sat in front of it, her eyes filled with tears as she was directly moved by its desperate spirit.
Zhang Wanshan was working on the shed there and couldn't understand what the little fox was saying at all. He could only hear it making hoarse chirping sounds. Seeing that Gu Chan was about to cry, he muttered in confusion, "This child Really, I’m so greedy, that’s right! I have never eaten fox meat in my life for decades, so I don’t know what it tastes like!”
Gu Chan didn't hear what grandpa was saying.
At this time, her attention was focused on the little fox. Seeing that the little fox tried hard for more than a dozen times and finally stood up tremblingly, she was moved and clapped her hands on the spot, "Okay, you are really awesome." Awesome, I finally stood up, hurry up and move forward.”
【Um! mother. 】The little fox agreed and stumbled forward stubbornly.
Gu Chan was moved to tears and cheered for the strong little fox.
Zhang Wanshan was stunned, stared at Gu Chan and said, "My child, why don't we kill it, and I'll make a pot of soup for you to eat! You're so greedy that you're going crazy."
"Ah? Grandpa, what are you talking about! I was moved to tears, moved." Gu Chan reached out to wipe away her tears and replied angrily.
"What's so touching about this? It's a fox, with a very strong vitality." Zhang Wanshan looked confused.
Gu Chan waved her hand wordlessly, "Grandpa, you don't understand. I won't tell you anymore. You can just build your shed! I will continue to encourage it."
"This kid..." Zhang Wanshan didn't know what to say, so he could only shut up and continue working on the shed.
At this time, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Mrs. Li rushed in with a panic look on her face.
When she ran to Gu Chan, she said out of breath, "Quickly, go to the village chief's house. His old hen seems to be dying."
"I don't have time, I have to take care of my little fox!" Gu Chan said disdainfully.
When she first came to Jiuyang Village, the village chief made things difficult for her and even chased her away. Now he knows how to beg her?
Besides, his old hen is dying, does it have to do with her?
Li was extremely anxious, "When did this happen? Don't be like this. Give me some face and go help him quickly!"
"What dignity do you have? Why didn't I know?"
"You..." Li's face turned livid with anger, speechless.
Gu Chan sneered, "Go and tell the village chief that if you want my help, you have to show your sincerity and invite me in person."
"Okay, I'll go tell the village chief right now." Mrs. Li responded suppressing her anger, turned around and left and ran towards the village chief's house.
Gu Chan was too lazy to pay attention to her, and continued to encourage the strong little fox as if nothing had happened.
