Chapter 368 One Morning

Chapter 368 One Morning

It was the smell of breakfast that woke Della each day, a rich aroma that was completely different from the toast she was accustomed to, and had a very different meaning.

As a person who has no special feelings for bread, she heats the bread and spreads butter on it so that the food that sustains her life can be eaten more easily. However, the steaming hot breakfast with a wide variety of foods that the old lady brings back is full of love.

Della's hands are very dexterous. Of course, it may also be because Zhou Yushi indulges Belinda too much. In short, after a few days, compared to Bellinda who still uses a fork and spoon, Della has become very proficient in using chopsticks. Grandma Huang has praised her in amazement several times.

Today, she also got up at the smell, and put on the old but clean clothes that Aunt Wu gave her while Belinda was lazily staying in bed (Grandma Huang thought her clothes were too thin), and walked into the main hall guest room with a smile. She was the only child awake at this time, and then she called for people obediently, and was then enthusiastically pulled to sit on a chair by Grandma Huang.

"Drink a few more sips, Della." Huang Wodan looked at Della, who was so thin that it made people anxious. He moved his mouth and groaned silently. He pushed the mutton soup and donkey meat hot pot in front of Della, wishing that these two ingredients could replenish Della's body immediately.

Della was very embarrassed when she ate these two things for the first time, because she felt that she was almost done after finishing the pancake-like thing. However, the fresh and salty meat and the absorbent crispy skin forced her to drink the mutton soup, and she finished it without realizing it.

After all, both of them were delicious and went well together, especially the stewed white meat with skin that appeared when the mutton soup was almost finished. She put the meat, which she thought would be greasy, into her mouth, and it disappeared instantly. It was so soft that Della felt that it was her first time to eat meat properly.

"Thank you, grandma." Della said in her still unfamiliar Chinese, picked up her chopsticks and started to eat her breakfast in the care and love of her elders.

"Hey, Della, where are you going to play today?" Wu Yunzhou, who was sitting next to him, soaked his doughnuts in soy milk and asked with concern, "How was your fun these days? Are you tired?"

As for the matter of playing, it was only Tang Xie who took them out for the first two days. After Zhou Yushi and Bellinda's temporary residence permits were processed and Zhou Yushi submitted his materials to take the test and got a temporary driver's license, the three of them and Tang Yu, who seemed a little reluctant, went out together.

"It's not tiring to just visit one place slowly in a day," Della smiled as she thought of their quiet but attentive grandson, "and we still have to wait for their arrangements today."

"Oh, how could Xiao Yun not know where to go? You can't go wrong if you let him go to all the places that the school has arranged for him to go since he was a child." Huang Wodan came in with some plates and bowls, and put the bought buns and fried dough sticks on the plates while bending over to Della. "The key is whether you are having fun here, Della?"

"I'm so happy, grandma," said Della, taking a sip of the milky mutton soup. "I eat breakfast so actively every day just to have more energy to play!"

"Oh, you're so cute!" Huang Wodan stretched out his hand to pinch Della's cheek, only to find that she had too little flesh on her face, which made people feel distressed. "You even had dinner with us two old guys this morning. Grandma really wishes you were my granddaughter!"

"Then you should have let Renlan find a partner." Wu Yunzhou said this. Huang Wodan and Della turned to look at him. He looked at the disgust in his wife's eyes and the curiosity in the eyes of the junior, coughed fakely, lowered his head and drank soy milk as if he was very busy.

"Ah, actually, your Uncle Tang is good in every way," Huang Wodan turned around and whispered to Della, "but when he was young, he focused on his family, so his education is a bit disappointing."

"Ah..." Della opened her mouth slightly, remembering her record of out-of-school children in Country Y's government, "It's similar in Country Y, wizards and Muggles don't have much in common."

"But we don't have magic schools or anything like that here. I think family education has reached its limit," Wu Yunzhou muttered as he sipped his soy milk. After noticing his wife's death stare, he immediately tried to change the subject. Hey, he actually found one. "Why did you mention Country Y? Are you from Country Y?"

"Yeah," Della tilted her head back slightly, a little surprised, "I thought Zhou told you about it."

"He said you were almost a relative of Bellinda's. I also thought you were from Country F." Huang Wodan said that she and Wu Yunzhou didn't even care what their Taoist priest did, let alone Della.

"Many people like to show off their British accents, so I missed the real people from Country Y." Wu Yunzhou's eyes lit up slightly. He said to Della, "You sit here for a while," then stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

"Ah, your Grandpa Wu went to study in Country Y in the 1940s," Huang Wodan recalled, "and there are still a few old photos that I've always wanted to show to people."

Della listened with a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, and she felt that it was true. These days, when she went out to play, few people except young people could chat with Belinda fluently. It was still unusual for a family like Tang Xie to be so good at English.

Grandpa Wu's figure was getting closer in her peripheral vision. Della looked at the photo album in his hand which showed traces of time, with a slight smile on her face. She was ready to listen to an old story. At this time, the two cousins ​​in the boys' room just woke up.

Tang Yun is an only child, but the bunk beds in his room are made of wood. This is what he wanted when he was a child. He thought it was cool to sleep wherever he wanted, so he begged his grandparents for it. From the result, it seems that he was spoiled and his request was met. However, it was mainly because Tang Xi and his wife were planning to have a second child at the time that they agreed so readily.

Of course, their second child was not born before the one-child policy, so Tang Yu could always sleep in whichever bed he wanted, which was convenient for Zhou Yushi who lived in the same room with him.

"Well... cousin, you got up so early..." Tang Yu was awakened by the noise of Zhou Yushi getting out of bed on the upper bunk and turned over while muttering.

"You seem to have been telling me for several days that you should get up earlier than Della to have breakfast with grandma and grandpa." Zhou Yushi rubbed his arms and stretched his body.

Hearing this, Tang Yun opened his eyes, turned over and sat up suddenly, and then did not move again. He just stared at Zhou Yushi.

Zhou Yushi let out a long sigh for Tang Yu. He didn't even want to say that Tang Yu's behavior in the past few days was too dull. He spoke little and avoided her sight during normal communication. When he found out that others only talked to Bellinda, he was afraid that Della would be disappointed. He always tried to strike up a conversation awkwardly at that time, and he almost said "I'm actually interested in you" directly on his forehead.

Tang Yu didn't quite understand Zhou Yushi's sigh, but he could still sense the direction of the sigh at this moment. He muttered unconvincedly, "You brought him back suddenly, I wasn't prepared."

"Bullshit, what do you need to prepare? I didn't bring it back for you in the first place," Zhou Yushi said bluntly. He took off his pajamas and changed into clothes for going out. "Have you decided where to go today, our little tour guide?"

"Can we climb the Great Wall today?" Tang Yu curled his lips, showing a slight unwillingness on his face.

After putting on a piece of clothing, Zhou Yushi turned to look at him with complicated eyes and sighed again, "You really didn't learn anything from your grandfather." He sat down beside Tang Yu's bed, "Walking 10,000 or 20,000 steps in the scenic area is enough. The rhythm can be controlled. Climbing the Great Wall is too tiring and not suitable for Della."

"How can you not be tired after playing?" Tang Yun said strangely, "No, why did you mention grandpa? What do you mean I haven't learned anything?" He caught this point and quickly reacted, "Grandpa taught you Chinese medicine. What's wrong with Della's body?"

"Why do you want to know this? Can you still treat her?" Zhou Yushi asked back.

"Of course you have to get treatment if you're sick," Tang Yu looked at Zhou Yu with a look of condemnation in his eyes, "Cousin, if you really saw that there was something wrong with her body and didn't tell her, that would be a sin."

"Heart disease, do you think she doesn't know it?" Zhou Yushi sneered, "It's hard to cure. If she can't let it go, even the best medicine won't last for a few years."

"How many years does she have left?" Tang Yu grabbed Zhou Yushi's sleeve and asked stubbornly, "If we leave her to Grandpa and Sister Xueji, will there be any hope for her to survive?"

"You know that doctors usually have to observe, smell, ask and palpate, but Della Riddle's condition is so serious that you can tell she is sick just by looking at her," Zhou Yushi said slowly, looking at her sleeve that was grabbed. "Do you know why your grandparents always think she is cold? It's because her heart yin is deficient and her false fire is overpowering her yang. There are always two small pink spots on her face, which looks like she is frozen red. Although her eyes are bright, they are hard to focus on, which is a sign of her spirit not being able to stay inward and her heart energy being dissipated. She has gotten a little better recently, but not much better."

"That's right, she won't live long, right?" Tang Yun asked stupidly, his hands gripping her sleeves gradually loosening.

"If the heart disease is not cured, no medicine can cure it." Zhou Yushi patted his wrinkled sleeves.

"No, no, it must be that you, cousin, are unwilling to work hard," Tang Yu shook his head. His voice suddenly became higher and he said aggressively, "You definitely didn't tell Belinda this news. If Belinda knew, she would definitely make you work harder to save Della!"

As he spoke, Tang Yun threw back the quilt, intending to get up and put this idea into practice.

Tell Bellinda? Of course not. Zhou Yushi would be loyal to Bellinda, but at the same time he would not be honest with anyone.

"I'm not omnipotent, okay? Do you think I'm someone who can solve the Dark Lord's troubles?" Zhou Yushi looked at him helplessly and sighed again, "Besides, can you really tell Belinda about this? You know that this means Della will also know about this, right? Can you tell Della, who is enjoying herself now, this bad news?"

Hearing this, Tang Yun stopped moving. He turned to look at Zhou Yushi. His pursed lips and furrowed brows made him look as if he had done something wrong. He sat down on the bed dejectedly, "You are so sinister, Brother Yushi."

"Then I can't just take the Dark Lord's little princess home casually." Zhou Yushi patted Tang Yun's shoulder soothingly.

If a person comes to a foreign country quietly and dies in a foreign country quietly, then his whereabouts will be very secretive and the risk to him will be very limited.

What’s more, there is also the possibility of breaking delusion.

Zhou Yushi could tell at a glance that Della Riddle was not going to live long. Just like what he told Tang Yun, he could do nothing about her mental illness, but this information was useful for his contingency planning. At least it let him know that trouble would not always be around.

Zhou Yushi didn't hate Della. On the contrary, he admired her very much. However, he couldn't risk his life to appreciate her.
