Chapter 769: The Experience of Raising a Daughter

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The two of them exited the kitchen and sat down in the dining room. Jiang Nuan began, “I consulted a doctor previously who told me that I was lacking vitality and needed to replenish it. Especially now, in the spring, I need to avoid the wind, otherwise, I could easily catch a cold. Certain floral scents can also trigger allergies. Auntie, I’ve been drinking herbal soup every day, and it’s quite unpleasant.”

Gu Zi listened to the girl’s words and pondered for a moment. “Did the doctor only prescribe you herbal medicine? Did he give you any dietary therapy recipes?” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The girl shook her head. “He only mentioned following the herbal prescription. He said that once I complete this course of treatment, my body will start to recover.”

Gu Zi raised an eyebrow. “This doctor must be young and inexperienced. How can one recover without combining herbal treatment with lifestyle adjustments and dietary therapy? You do seem to lack vitality and indeed need to replenish it. However, you should also incorporate some dietary supplements. Remember to eat less sour food and more naturally sweet ones, like pumpkin and sweet potato.”

Jiang Nuan looked at Gu Zi with surprise and admiration. “Auntie, you’re amazing. The doctor who treated me was a young man, and he also told me to eat less sour food. I usually like to eat pickled plums.”

“You should eat less of those. You really can’t eat too much sour food in the spring. I do know some dietary therapy recipes that could help with your condition. If you trust me, I can write down the recipes for you when I have time. I’ll have Su Bing bring them to you, and you can have your family prepare meals according to the recipes. For today, since you were our flower girl, I’ll make a soup that’s beneficial for your health. How does that sound?”

After hearing Gu Zi’s words, Jiang Nuan happily hugged her. “I’ll be in your care today, Auntie. But Auntie, I want to help you in the kitchen.”

Gu Zi naturally wouldn’t refuse this eager little helper. She led Jiang Nuan into the kitchen. “We’ll make a pot of yam, coix seed, and lean meat soup. The meaty aroma is delightful, and it’s beneficial for your health. Watch how I make it, so you can have your family prepare it for you at home. The ingredients for this soup are simple: lean pork, yam, coix seed, jujube, goji berries, ginger, and salt.”

Jiang Nuan was a bit confused as she listened. She only recognized lean pork, ginger, and salt. The other ingredients were unfamiliar to her. However, she didn’t leave the kitchen because of this. She stayed with Gu Zi throughout the entire soup-making process.

Even though Gu Zi didn’t really ask her to help with anything, she stayed by her side until a pot of clear, delicious soup was ready. Jiang Nuan was the first to taste it, enjoying a bowl of soup with meat.

Throughout this process, Gu Zi had a brand-new experience of raising a daughter.

Although she had a daughter of her own, Su Le, Su Le was still young. Jiang Nuan, on the other hand, was already in elementary school. Raising girls of different ages felt distinctly different.

After Jiang Nuan finished eating, she began to cough. Gu Zi tended to her with great care, gently patting her back and handing her a tissue. She watched as the young girl coughed up several mouthfuls of phlegm.

“You still have a bit of phlegm,” she observed, “It seems the young doctor’s medicine is working. Otherwise, this therapeutic soup wouldn’t have taken effect so quickly. How are you feeling?”

Jiang Nuan’s eyes brightened considerably. “Auntie, after coughing up that phlegm, I suddenly feel much more relaxed. It’s as if my body has become lighter. Auntie, you’re amazing.”

No sooner had Jiang Nuan’s words fallen than a voice sounded from outside the kitchen. “Wow, what a delicious smell of meat! Su Li, what is your mother cooking in the kitchen?”

Su Li’s voice rang out, filled with pride. “Everything my mother makes is delicious. Didn’t you just eat some snacks my mom prepared earlier? My mother must be preparing something tasty in the kitchen. But you guys need to help out. How can my mother manage everything by herself?”

As Su Li’s words fell, a group of boys led by him surged into the kitchen. Fortunately, the Su family’s kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate them all. Otherwise, it would have been overcrowded.

The next moment, someone began to call out, “Are you Su Li’s sister? I’m Su Li’s classmate, Gu Jun. Nice to meet you, sister!”

Liu Shi’s eyes widened. He had never seen such a beautiful older sister before. “Su Li, I now believe that your mother is very beautiful because your sister is extremely beautiful. Hello, sister, I’m Liu Shi.”

Seeing his two good friends calling out, Zhang Liang didn’t want to be left behind. “Hello, sister. You must be a college student, right?”

The other classmates also began to call out their greetings. Seeing their reactions, Su Li was not angry. On the contrary, he was even more proud. He laughed heartily and said triumphantly, “Who said this is my sister? Listen carefully, this is my mother!”
