Chapter 62: The Refined Young Man
"You eat," Qin Xiangyang pushed the bowl towards his sister again, touching her little face and seeing that it had finally filled out, he sighed in relief, happy that their days were getting better.
"Brother, there’s still some left," Qin Xiangnuan scooped herself a small bowl, which was actually just the scrapings from the bottom of the pot.
"I like eating the scrapings from the bottom, they taste the best when slightly burnt."
Qin Xiangyang split a scallion pancake in half.
"Here, sister, let’s each have a half."
"Okay," Qin Xiangnuan smiled, her eyes curving, as she took half of the pancake. The siblings started eating, each with half a pancake and a small bowl of porridge.
Jian Zhiqing squinted his eyes slightly. Though young, he was tall and composed. He grew fond of these young siblings. Children from poor families mature early. Despite their age, they managed their small business competently and could prepare decent meals. He also hoped his mom would have a little sister, so he could take care of her just like Qin Xiangyang did.
After finishing the meal, Qin Xiangyang cleaned up the bowls, washing them with water, while at that moment, Li Qiuhua also woke up.
"Mom, you’re awake," Jian Zhiqing quickly stood up and helped Li Qiuhua to sit up.
"Yes, I really slept well," Li Qiuhua touched her belly, full and well-rested, truly feeling much better with no more dizziness or stomach ache.
"Are you okay?" Jian Ming hurriedly came over and supported Li Qiuhua, the pregnant woman, asking if she felt discomfort anywhere.
"Yeah, I’m fine," Li Qiuhua comforted by patting the back of her husband’s hand, "I’ve eaten and my stomach is comfortable. After a nap, I feel so much better."
