Chapter 562 - 563: A Hole Burned in the Cotton Quilt
All the clothes were placed at the bottom, puzzles in the middle, and White Rabbit milk candies and canned food were placed at the top and in the bags on the sides for easy access when Guibao wanted to eat.
Everything was neatly and orderly arranged, and all the things she wanted to bring were packed.
Helian Qiao had already undressed and crawled into bed, cooing in a sweet nasal voice, "Grandma, I’m going to sleep now."
"Okay, you go right ahead. Once Guibao falls asleep, Grandma will also go to sleep." Hearing her soft little voice, Ma Xiulian’s face involuntarily broke into a smile.
Only after her granddaughter had fallen asleep did she get up, turn off the light in the room, and close the door.
Once back in her own room, she murmured, "Tomorrow Guibao will go to the Capital with Manyun and the others. The trip there and back will take almost half a month! This is Guibao’s first time being away from us for so long, I don’t know if she’ll suddenly cry and want to come home. We’ll be so far away that even if we want to rush over, we won’t be able to make it in time."
Chen Dazhu was smoking his pipe while leaning on the bed. Hearing this, he also felt uneasy. He inhaled too forcefully, and some sparks fell onto the quilt and burnt a hole in it.
He quickly patted the sparks out, but it was too late. He glanced guiltily at his wife.
Luckily, Ma Xiulian’s mind and eyes were filled with her granddaughter. She glanced at him but didn’t scold him as she usually would.
