Da Hu was long accustomed to Gu Jiaojiao’s generosity. Whenever they went to play with Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang, they often got to eat candy she gave them, so it wasn’t strange at all.
Following Gu Jiaojiao’s instructions, Da Hu gave one piece to each child. The ones who received candy were thrilled. Some ate it on the spot, while others tucked it into their pockets, planning to go home and share with their younger siblings.
But every child who received a piece of candy grew to like Gu Jiaojiao.
After Da Hu finished handing out the candy, he announced with an air of importance, "All of you, make sure to help Gu Zhiqing out. This is her first time gathering pig feed, and she doesn’t know anything."
All the children answered in unison.
Then, everyone scattered.
Off to the side, Gu Jiaojiao covered her face.
’So I’m being looked after by a bunch of kids now.’
Sweet Girl and Xiao Yang didn’t leave. They stayed beside Gu Jiaojiao to gather pig feed. Gu Jiaojiao’s speed truly couldn’t compare to Sweet Girl’s. After working for just a little while, her back ached so terribly that she couldn’t help but sit down to rest.
Seeing that Gu Jiaojiao was already exhausted and out of breath after working for such a short time, the other children around them couldn’t help but shake their heads.
’This Gu Zhiqing is so fragile. With a constitution like that, if she were in one of our families, she’d get a whooping eight hundred times a day.’
Grumbling was one thing, but as the children gathered pig feed, they still occasionally stuffed a handful into Gu Jiaojiao’s basket.
With a handful from one and a handful from another, Gu Jiaojiao’s basket was soon full of pig feed.
Even after her basket was full, Gu Jiaojiao wasn’t in a hurry to turn it in. Instead, she continued further up the mountain. Whenever she spotted medicinal herbs along the way, she would casually pick them.
Once she had gathered a good amount of herbs, Gu Jiaojiao finally went to turn in the pig feed before taking the herbs home.
She was still unaware that Zhang Tianming had come to the Qingshan Team. The pig feed was gathered on the hillside, while Leng Yuan was working in a different area.
She turned in the pig feed and was about to head back when a hurriedly approaching Chen Xiaoli stopped her.
