In the eyes of an adult, the simplest of things might seem insignificant. However, for a child, it could signify a whole new world of exploration. Gu Zi took this to heart, and was always eager to guide Lele as they discovered the world together.

Upon seeing Lele successfully place the bottle, Shi Tou clapped his hands in praise, “Lele, you’re amazing!”

Su Le, flattered by the compliment, beamed with joy as Shi Tou continued to help with the beer bottles.

‘You little rascal, always sneaking off to Gu Zits place. I knew I’d find you here,” a voice chided. “Aunt Gu Zi is busy building a stove, and you’re making a mess. Put those beer bottles down. And what’s with this strange stove? How will the fire burn without a hole on top? Where does the pot go?”

Just as Gu Zi was about to set Lele down, she saw Aunt Zhang approaching with a basket of fresh corn, the faint scent of which wafted through the air. Aunt Zhang cast a puzzled glance at Gu Zi’s stove, wondering if this city girl knew how to build a proper one.

Gu Zi explained, “There’s no need for a pot. I’m building a clay oven for roasting food using radiant heat, not direct flame. It’s perfect for roasting chicken and such. Shi Tou is helping me.”

The beer bottles placed inside the oven served as insulation, preventing the heat from escaping downwards and affecting the roasting process.

Aunt Zhang, amused, remarked, “My, you city girls sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeves. Even a country bumpkin like me wouldn’t know how to build a clay oven. Here, try some of our freshly harvested corn.”

Everyone lived in a society bound by relationships and Gu Zi was no exception. She understood the importance of maintaining these social ties.

Gu Zi and Aunt Zhang were neighbors and friends. Gu Zi knew what kind of person Aunt Zhang was and was more than willing to maintain a good relationship with her.

Accepting the corn, Gu Zi watched as Aunt Zhang busied herself with her chores, reminding Shi Tou and Lele to play nicely and not to bully the little girl.

However, as Aunt Zhang was leaving, she seemed to remember something. Turning back, she asked Gu Zi in a low voice, “Did you use that folk remedy I gave you last time? Did it work?”

Gu Zi had a hunch that Aunt Zhang would ask about this. She wanted to say that she had misplaced the piece of paper with the remedy.

Of course, she could never have guessed that Su Shen had read and memorized it.
