Chapter 261 The winter life officially begins
"Knock Knock Knock!"
Just as Lin Xi was considering whether to get up, there was a knock on the door.
"Xixi, are you up?" Seeing no one responded, Chu Ran had to ask.
"Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you."
Lin Xi was afraid that Chu Ran would hear the difference in her footsteps, so she hopped on one foot to open the door.
"Why are you here so early?" Lin Xi was very surprised, because according to Chu Ran's previous behavior, Chu Ran was the kind of person who would sleep in and not get up, so how could he get up so early like today.
"Aren't I worried about you? I was afraid you were going to do something that kept me awake the whole night. I thought I might as well come and see you earlier." Chu Ran said this while looking at Lin Xi's injured foot.
"I'm fine. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. They're so big. Go back to sleep! I'll just stay in the room and not go anywhere, okay?"
When Lin Xi saw Chu Ran’s panda eyes, she felt very guilty. If it weren’t for her feet, she wouldn’t have had such a bad sleep, so she urged her to go back and take a nap.
"Okay, then I'll go back to sleep for a while. Remember to call me if anything happens." Chu Ran yawned and immediately felt sleepy!
"I got it, housekeeper!" In order to let Chu Ran go back to sleep peacefully, Lin Xi had to agree with a smile.
"I'm really leaving!" Chu Ran looked back every two steps. His reluctant look made Lin Xi feel helpless.
Thinking that this would never end, he had no choice but to slam the door in front of Chu Ran. Chu Ran had to go back now.
"Huh, I finally got rid of this little housekeeper." After locking the door, Lin Xi went back to bed. Because she still had an injured foot, she had to do the whole act.
Lin Xi was lying comfortably in her room, but the villagers were not as leisurely as her. Although they didn't have to go to work now, the New Year was coming soon, and there were still many things to prepare, such as firewood, which had to be prepared before the mountain was closed due to heavy snow.
The adults in the village are busy, and the children are not idle either. They are all trying their best to help their families as much as possible, such as picking mountain products in the mountains.
"Knock knock knock." There was another knock on the door.
Lin Xi thought that Chu Ran had returned, but unexpectedly, Lin Jue's voice came from outside the house.
"Little sister, are you up? Big brother is here to see you..."
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't say anything, Lin Jue thought she hadn't gotten up yet, so he knocked on the door a few more times!
Now Lin Xi had no choice but to open the door, because she was afraid that if she didn't open the door, Lin Jue would most likely tear it down.
"I'm coming."
Without asking, I knew that it was Gu Tingxiao who told her elder brother about her foot injury.
"Brother, you're here early!"
After opening the door, Lin Xi looked at Lin Jue with a forced smile.
Lin Jue had no way of noticing that something was wrong with Lin Xi, because his attention was all on Lin Xi's feet.
"Brother will take you to the hospital for a check-up to prevent any sequelae!" Lin Jue said as he bent down with his back to Lin Xi.
"Brother, there's really no need to go to the hospital. I don't feel any pain anymore. If you don't believe me, just take a look!"
In order to prove that she was really not in pain anymore, Lin Xi deliberately took two steps in front of Lin Jue.
"Is it really okay? It really doesn't hurt anymore? Don't lie to me..." After seeing that there was nothing wrong with her walking, Lin Jue didn't feel completely relieved, but confirmed with her again.
"I'm really fine. Maybe I have a good physique, so I recovered quickly." Lin Xi made up an excuse. Otherwise, he couldn't say that he had soaked in spiritual spring water!
"That's good. I'll go back first. If you have any problems, please send someone to find me on the mountain."
Seeing that Lin Xi seemed to be really fine, Lin Jue thought of the many things waiting for him to take charge of on the mountain, so he left in a hurry without even having time to see Chu Ran.
Looking at Lin Jue's back as he walked away, Lin Xi suddenly thought of the words, "You come and go in a hurry!"
After Lin Jue left, Lin Xi lay back on the bed again. Unexpectedly, there were two knocks on the door just as she lay down.
Who is it this time? It's endless. Why is it so difficult for her to just lie down quietly for a while?
But even though she complained, Lin Xi still got up to open the door. What she didn't expect was that the person who came this time was not someone else, but Gu Tingxiao's mother, Gu Mu.
"Auntie, why are you here?"?
"Didn't I hear that you injured your foot? I made some bone soup specially for you!" Mother Gu showed Lin Xi the clay pot in her basket.
"Auntie, how did you know?" Lin Xi's face was full of surprise. No one saw that she sprained her foot, and she hadn't gone out the whole day. Logically, not many people should know about it!
"Old Five told me last night that he would make bone soup for you to drink. He said it would nourish you and maybe you would get better faster, so you wouldn't have to suffer this pain." Of course, Mother Gu would not miss the opportunity to show off to her son and repeated everything that Gu Tingxiao had said to her.
It was not difficult for Lin Xi to infer from Gu's mother's words that when Gu Tingxiao returned to the mountain last night, he must have taken a detour home to tell Gu's mother about this matter. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved.
"Thank you, auntie. Please come in and sit for a while!" Lin Xi invited Gu's mother to come in and sit down, but unexpectedly, Gu's mother refused.
"No need, there are still a lot of things to do at home! I'll go back first, and I'll come back to get the clay pot when the time comes." Mother Gu said as she put the basket of bone soup in Lin Xi's hand.
"Go into the house quickly! Be careful with your feet." After saying this, Mother Gu left.
Lin Xi had no choice but to carry the basket into the house, but this time she did not close the door, because she always had a premonition that someone would come to see her, so fortunately she did not go back to lie on the bed, but sat at the table with the door open.
Looking at the basket sent by Gu's mother, Lin Xi smelled the rich aroma of bone soup before she even opened it. After sniffing, Lin Xi poured the bone soup in the earthenware jar into the bowl.
"It smells so good!" Lin Xi first lowered his head to smell it, then picked up the bowl and started drinking it.
"It's fragrant and not greasy, what a great soup!" After drinking a bowl, Lin Xi didn't feel greasy at all. Maybe it was because Gu's mother removed the oil from the soup in advance, so Lin Xi poured out another bowl to drink.
After drinking two large bowls of soup, Lin Xi felt that he was full. Just when he was about to lie back on the bed to digest it, a figure appeared at the door again.
