Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 45 - Forty-five heaps of goji berries_1

He definitely couldn’t go to the market himself, especially with Old Tang still there.

Regardless of whether Old Tang had good business or not, as long as he was there, Gu Chenzi would stay away for the day.

But if he didn’t go to the market, where else could he go?

Gu Chenzi felt a bit depressed.

He shook his head, deciding not to worry about it, selling one jin was still selling.

…

After exiting the Spirit Field, he glanced out of the window, the sky was dimly lit.

As the day grew lighter, Tangtang’s sleeping time seemed to lengthen without notice.

Gu Chenzi approached the bedside and saw the little girl sleeping soundly.

She was lying on her side with one hand underneath her head, squishing her chubby little face into a small bulge.

Right now, who knew what delicious dreams she was having.

Her little mouth smacked, and she had even drooled a little.

She was both adorable and cute.

Gu Chenzi’s heart nearly melted at the sight of this little meatball. He smiled helplessly, pulled the blanket over Tangtang to make sure she was well covered, then stood up and walked towards the living room.

Ji Pianran carried two bowls of porridge and some side dishes from the yard.

Seeing Gu Chenzi sitting at the table, she set the porridge down in front of him.

She whispered, “You eat first, I’m going to mix some formula for Tangtang.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenzi quickly pulled her back, “No rush, Tangtang is sleeping soundly, let her sleep a little longer.”

After saying this, he remembered the whole field of goji berries in his space.

“Right, I won’t take Tangtang out shopping today, after all, it’s a hospital, and it’s not good for children to be there.”

Even though it had been a long time since the Feudal Era.

In the village, there was still a saying that children should not go to hospitals too often.

After all, with so many sick people, hospitals had a heavy yin energy.

Ji Pianran’s eyebrows twitched slightly, a little troubled. She had been planning to go to Li You’e’s at the east end of the village today to ask Aunt Li for help with the embroidery pattern.

She couldn’t very well take Tangtang with her.

But Gu Chenzi was also busy. She thought for a moment, “Well, I’ll take her over to Aunt Zhang’s house next door later. Aunt Zhang said that Aunt Li is very good at embroidery work, I want to ask her for some advice.”

Thinking of having to trouble Aunt Zhang again, Gu Chenzi felt somewhat embarrassed, but it was the only option he had at the moment.

He took a sip of the porridge and nodded, “Okay, that’s fine.”

They finished breakfast, and as usual, Gu Chenzi collected the bowls, headed into the kitchen to wash up.

As he scooped some water from the tank, a burst of knocking at the door could be heard.

He looked outside with confusion.

Who could it be?

And so early in the morning knocking at the door?

Ji Pianran also heard the knocking.

Anxious that it might wake Tangtang, who was still sleeping, she quickly stepped into the yard, asking as she walked.

“Here we are, who is it?”

“It’s me, your auntie.”

Hearing Aunt Zhang’s voice, Ji Pianran hastily opened the door.

As expected, there stood Aunt Zhang in her cotton-padded jacket, smiling warmly at Ji Pianran.

“Pian Ran, is Gu Chen going into the city today?”

These past few days, for some reason, Aunt Zhang’s back had been terribly sore, and even several folk remedies hadn’t helped at all.

Now, with the New Year almost upon them, her son and daughter would be returning home tomorrow and the day after.

She needed to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

It wouldn’t do to keep suffering from this back pain.

It just so happened she recalled Gu Chen sold vegetables in the city.

So she thought, if he was going to the city, he might as well drop by the pharmacy and bring back a couple of plasters for her.

Upon hearing that it was about Gu Chen, Ji Pianran quickly invited Aunt Zhang inside.

“Auntie, it’s cold outside; Gu Chen is in the kitchen. Let’s come inside and talk.”

Aunt Zhang nodded her head.

The two walked towards the living room, and just as they did, Gu Chen had finished washing the dishes. Seeing that it was Aunt Zhang, he hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

He followed them into the living room.

Smiling at Aunt Zhang, he asked, “Auntie, you’re up early. Is there something you need?”

Although Gu Chen might appear easygoing, he was actually very astute.

Coming over to his house so early in the morning, before dawn had even broken, definitely meant there was a matter to attend to.

Aunt Zhang wasn’t one for formalities.

She looked at Gu Chen, “Chenzi, if you’re heading to the city today, could you pick up a couple of prescriptions for your auntie as well?”

If it had been Shen Cuilian, Gu Chen might truly have hesitated to help.

But this was Aunt Zhang, and when Aunt Zhang needed help, he felt he must oblige no matter what.

“Auntie, give me the names of the medicines, and as soon as I’m in the city, I’ll fetch them for you,” offered Gu Chen.

Aunt Zhang rummaged through her pocket and handed him a piece of paper, “The names of the medicines are all written down here, and yes, get me two plasters as well. Taking medicine and applying plasters together makes for a faster recovery.”

Gu Chen took the note and carefully tucked it into his pocket before smiling at Aunt Zhang.

“Don’t worry, auntie, I’ve got it noted.”

Seeing how quick Gu Chen was to agree, Aunt Zhang was over the moon with joy.

She chuckled, “That’s what I’m saying, our Chenzi has really grown up this time!”

Gu Chen felt somewhat embarrassed by Aunt Zhang’s compliment and rubbed his head, “Don’t say that, auntie. Since I’ve got to go into the city and Pian Ran is busy today, we’ll have to trouble you to look after Tangtang.”

Aunt Zhang was delighted to hear that Tangtang would be with her today.

“To tell you the truth, you haven’t brought Tangtang over to my place for several days now. I’ve missed her, she’s such a good girl, and gets along with me so well!”

Tangtang was a well-behaved and sensible child. Although she was just over two years old, she was the most sensible among children her age.

She could help adults with chores without throwing tantrums.

The key was that the little girl was also adorable. As people grow older, they develop a special affection for children.

It didn’t matter whether they were related; just seeing them brought joy to the heart.

Especially a sensible child like Tangtang, Aunt Zhang naturally adored her from the bottom of her heart.

Gu Chen nodded, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Aunt Zhang slapped his shoulder with a smile, “What are you talking about? Didn’t we just say, as neighbors, we’ve got to help each other out!”

After finishing, she looked at Ji Pianran, “Alright, then, I’ll head back now. Remember to bring Tangtang over when you leave.”

…

Not long after Aunt Zhang left, Gu Chen glanced at his watch; it was nearly seven o’clock, time to head into the city.

He stood up and said to Ji Pianran, “I’m off then. Tomorrow is New Year’s; today is the last day to earn some money!”

Ji Pianran nodded, “Okay, go ahead. Tomorrow is the big day, and the day after, the three of us should visit your parents.”
