The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 271

"Secret."

This was the first time Xiao Chunyu had done this, and she hadn't expected it to be so successful.

Nuannuan said that the prepared jerky is easy to store and convenient to carry.

In retrospect, it is indeed a very suitable time to go on an expedition.

So he simply had the steward buy more before he left for the expedition, so that he could take more with him.

Even if all else fails, he can have someone else make supplies for him after he goes to war, and then send him supplies.

Yes, that's how we'll do it!
When he went to war to defend his country, I would be his strong support.

Xia Guangcheng smiled when he saw his wife's charming appearance.

This is how his girl should be!

Thinking back to when he learned that he had been bullied by the Wu family, Xia Guangcheng wished he could chop those beasts to pieces.

Unexpectedly, his girl could single-handedly plunge the Wu family into hell without him lifting a finger. When he learned that she had rolled over iron nails, he truly felt the pain of her own heartache.

At that time, he vowed: He must bring the girl back to his side and protect her for the rest of his life!
He did it! The Emperor bestowed a marriage upon her, making her the wife of a second-rank general, and a long-lost smile returned to her face!

But now, he's going to war again...

I'm so reluctant to part with his girl!
He affectionately reached out and pulled her head into his arms.

"Leave this to the servants. You come back to the courtyard with me."

"it is good."

Her husband was about to go to war, and Xiao Chunyu wanted to spend more time with him.

"Panpan, let's go back to the courtyard."

“No, Panpan wants to stay here and keep watch, afraid they’ll steal the food.”

Everyone... Miss, if you want to sneak a peek, just say so! We're not taking the blame for this!

"Keep an eye on her, don't let her eat too much, it's not good for her to be overeaten."

Xiao Chunyu didn't scold her daughter, since everyone goes through a phase of being greedy and playful.

She was greedy when she was little, but she had to act like a good girl in front of her family, so it was hard to balance this relationship.

Nuannuan is different. She insists on making her own food and often runs into the kitchen to instruct the cook on how to cook it. As a result, her family often enjoys different kinds of pastries.

Because of this, her grandmother, mother, second aunt, and third aunt all jokingly said that Nuannuan was a little glutton.

Looking back now, Nuannuan was the smartest child.

Whether she studies medicine or pharmaceuticals or cooks, mastering either one will allow her to make a living.

Unlike me, I almost got killed by the Wu family.

"Don't worry, Mom. Panpan has some dumplings that Auntie gave her. She only needs to eat one."

Xiao Chunyu was both amused and exasperated. The medicine that Nuannuan had made to stimulate her appetite and strengthen her spleen had become her secret weapon for indulging in food, and she was no longer afraid to eat anything.

Speaking of which, because Panpan was fed according to Nuannuan's method since she was little, the child has always been in good health and has grown up to be chubby and cute like a little lucky baby.

Of course, she really is greedy when it comes to food.

"You……"

What could Xiao Chunyu say? She tapped her forehead and said, "Then listen to your nanny and don't run around."

"Don't run around."

Panpan had already decided to let her try the meat first, and if it was delicious, she would send some to her brother, the Crown Prince.

What kinds of meat are available?

The little figure walked back and forth in front of the stove, asking questions in a very serious manner.

"Reporting to Miss, this is beef, this is mutton, this is pork..."

Faced with Panpan's questioning, none of the servants dared to treat her as a simple child, but as a mistress, and they answered the questions seriously.

"How many kilograms of meat are there in total? How much does it cost?"

We need to get a response from the purchasing department.

The cook called for the purchasing agent, who then reported the required amount.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." After asking the question, she said this very skillfully, which made the purchasing agent feel very amused.

This young master is incredibly shrewd.

Panpan went to the kitchen again and saw the cook cutting meat.

Why didn't you slice it?

Aren't the meats we eat on the dining table all sliced?
How did you cut it into such square strips?
"There must be a reason why Madam made that request."

The servants were only responsible for doing the work; they never thought about the reasons or why they had to do it that way.

Anyway, just do whatever you're told; that's a servant's duty.

"Okay, I'll ask my mother later."

Xiao Chunyu and Xia Guangcheng returned to the inner courtyard. Xia Guangcheng felt a mix of emotions as he thought about his girl who was about to go to war and wouldn't be able to stay with him.

"Yu'er, while I'm away from Beijing, please be careful when you and your mother travel with the children."

Although he had already arranged for bodyguards around them, he was still very uneasy.

"Besides, if there's anything, just discuss it with your mother. She's old, but she's not as weak as you think," Xia Guangcheng said. "She's seen a lot and has her own ways of handling things."

"it is good."

Every time the man went out, he would carefully explain some things, covering every detail. Judging from his appearance, it seemed as if he wanted to pack himself up and take the person with him.

Xiao Chunyu felt his affection and warmth, and was even more reluctant to see him leave.

"Husband..."

"..."

The couple were sweet and loving.

But fate always seemed to prevent them from being together for long.

These past few days, Xia Guangcheng has been practically glued to his maid.

Xiao Chunyu was also extremely reluctant and nostalgic.

"Shall we leave tomorrow?"

"Yes, we'll depart at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow." Xia Guangcheng stroked her hair. "You don't need to see us off. Just stay here with Mother."

"But……"

"Be good, listen to me, it's not safe with so many people around."

"it is good."

If he doesn't allow delivery, there must be a reason why.

Xiao Chunyu nodded in agreement. She couldn't help the man with anything, but she would definitely not be a burden to him either.

What Xia Guangcheng didn't expect was that when he was about to leave at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), his mother, wife, daughter, and son were all at the gate of the mansion to see him off.

"Mother, your son has set off."

"Go, my son, and return safely." As expected of someone who had followed the old general in his many battles, Madam Xia did not shed tears like an ordinary woman. Instead, she reassured her son, "Go and protect our country. I will guard our home, your wife, daughter, and son. I will take good care of them."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Xia Guangcheng bowed and bid farewell to his mother.

"Take care, husband."

All the words I wanted to say were summed up in just a few.

"Father will return safely, Father will definitely return safely."

Panpan could barely open her eyes, but when she heard that she was to be sent to her father, she immediately asked the nanny to bring her over: "Father, eat more of the meat that Mother makes."

What kind of meat?
"General, this cartload of supplies was prepared for you by the Madam. What do you think?"

The lieutenant hadn't expected there to be an extra cartload of supplies. Should he take it or leave it?
"My lord, this carriage contains warm medicine pills, some food, and two sets of winter clothes that Mother had the embroidery workshop rush to make."

This is all the love from his family. What could Xia Guangcheng say? He could only take it with him.

"Husband, you must keep those dried meats with you at all times."

What kind of dried meat?
