BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162 - 162: Mom
Gu Zi looked at Su Shen and then at the size of the shop. It was quite large.
The fact that the owner of such a big shop addressed Su Shen as “Brother” indicated that Su Shen was truly enigmatic!
However, what surprised Gu Zi even more was yet to come. After they got new helmets and paid the bill, they were about to leave when the fat shop owner called out to them.
He handed a red envelope to Gu Zi, saying, “This is my gift to my sister-in-law, wishing you both a happy marriage!”
When she opened it and saw the 250 yuan gift money inside, she did not know what to do.
Although she was happy to receive the money, wasn’t 250 yuan too much as a token of blessing?
Su Shen saw that she was a little uneasy and said, “Since he gave it to you, just accept it. Don’t worry about it.”
Gu Zi nodded and kept the money. Then, the two of them went to the department store to buy some things before returning to Little Lin Village together.
At the Lin family’s house, Li Hua was making pancakes for the three children in the kitchen.
When the pancakes were ready, Mrs. Lin brought them out to the dining room. At that moment, Su Shen and Gu Zi returned.
Su Bing and Su Li, upon seeing them carrying so many bags, quickly set down the pancakes and rushed over to help. Even little Lele scrambled to run to them.
Gu Zi picked up Su Le and sat down, while Su Shen placed the items he was carrying down. They were a bit hungry and joined the children to eat the pancakes.
The pancakes had some chopped green onions and minced meat, blended with the fragrance of the flour, making them quite delicious.
After everyone finished eating, Su Shen told Mrs. Lin that he would bring Gu Zi back to the Su family residence. Mrs. Lin didn’t insist on them staying as she had long seen that Gu Zi’s heart was already with the Su family.
When two people’s hearts were connected, that was what made them a family. As long as they could visit frequently, Mrs. Lin would be content.
Su Shen first took the two sons and the belongings back to the Su family’s house and then returned to pick up Gu Zi and Su Le.
As soon as Gu Zi returned home, she began busying herself with preparing dinner, and Su Shen came over to help.
Gu Zi asked him, “Have you noticed that Su Li hasn’t been acting right today?”
Su Li was usually quite talkative, but today he hadn’t said more than three sentences in total and seemed rather listless.
After Gu Zi brought this to Su Shen’s attention, he pushed her out, saying, “You go ask, leave the dinner to me.”
Gu Zi glanced back at him; she figured that big straight guys weren’t really good at communicating with kids.
She went to the brothers. Su Bing was taking care of Lele, while Su Li was lying on the sofa, half asleep.
She gently woke Su Li up, “Su Li, are you not feeling well?”
The woman’s voice was very gentle. Su Li sat up quickly and said, “I’m… I’m tired, and my throat hurts.”
Gu Zi furrowed her brows slightly. He really seemed unwell. She touched Su Li’s forehead and said, “Next time, if you’re not feeling well, tell Su Bing or me, or even your dad.”
Su Li nodded reluctantly. He used to get better on his own when he was unwell and didn’t think to inform his family.
Gu Zi’s heart ached when she saw this. She understood why Su Li wouldn’t speak up; he didn’t know that a sick child would normally be given extra care by his family.
Gu Zi held back her tears and went upstairs to get some anti-inflammatory medicine for him to eat. Sh said to him, “Su Li, I don’t blame you for not telling us about it. If you still don’t feel better tomorrow after taking the medicine, we’ll go to the hospital.’
Su Li had been poisoned before and hadn’t fully recovered. If he wasn’t feeling well, it was best to go to the hospital.
Su Bing watched silently, his eyes softened. Their mother was truly kind.
At that moment, Gu Zi’s gentle gaze fell on Su Bing. He felt flustered and lowered his head.
Gu Zi said to him, “Su Bing, if you notice Su Li isn’t feeling well in future, make sure to tell me, alright? You shouldn’t bear it alone, understood?”
Su Bing said, “I understand.”
However, he did not dare to say, ‘Mom.’
At night, Gu Zi was worried about Su Li and went to his room to check on him.
He rolled around on the bed, looking very uncomfortable. Gu Zi went over and touched his forehead. It was burning hot.
He was tossing and turning in bed, looking very uncomfortable.
Gu Zi went downstairs, heated water, and soaked a towel to wipe his body. Once the child’s temperature dropped a little, she called out to him.
“Su Li, come on. Get up and take the fever medicine. Wake up!”
Su Li, in a daze from the fever, struggled to open his eyes. He saw a gentle and beautiful woman sitting by his bedside.
She was looking at him with concern, her face full of worry. For some reason, at that moment, his feverish eyes filled with tears.
He sat up and hugged her, bursting into tears and sobbing, “Mom, mom!” Gu Zi was stunned for a moment. Was he calling her Mom?
Then, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She hugged Su Li and stroked his black hair. She replied, “Yes, Su Li. Mom’s here for you..”
