The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 268 - 178_3

Moreover, once she thought of it, she acted on it.

Watching Chun Nuan gently touch his head, Xiao Hu stood there frozen.

"I’m sorry, looking at you reminds me of my little brother at home, so..."

She felt so embarrassed.

"Miss, can I call you sister?"

Xiao Hu felt the same way, this sister is truly wonderful.

She cared about his ear, even went out of her way to prepare medicine, and didn’t charge him at all.

When she touched his head, he desperately savored that fleeting warmth.

This must be the feeling of being loved!

"Of course, I’d love to have a clever little brother like you."

"Does your brother call you ’sister’?"

"Yes, sister."

"Is he older than me?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Yes."

"So if I call you sister, does that make him my brother?"

"Yes," Chun Nuan laughed, "You’ll have many more brothers and sisters."

"That’s wonderful." Xiao Hu lifted his sleeve to roughly wipe his face, hiding the tears that had rolled out.

"Aren’t you taking me to the Northern Desert quarry tomorrow? Then you can introduce them to me."

"I..." Xiao Hu instinctively glanced at his own patch-ridden clothes, "Will they despise me?"

"No, they won’t." Chun Nuan was certain, the Xiao family never looked down on the poor or loved riches. They were kind and generous people, with compassion for the weak passed down from ancestors: "They like smart children."

"That’s good then."

After handing the medicine to Xiao Hu, Chun Nuan went back to her room.

She looked at the bag of clothes meant for her father and them, contemplating for a moment, and then decided to open it to find the smallest piece of clothing.

"Sister, why are you here again?"

Xiao Hu’s eyes were still red. Seeing Chun Nuan approach, he quickly threw down the axe and ran over.

"Try on this piece of clothing, see if it fits?"

Xiao Hu looked at Chun Nuan in disbelief.

"Since you’re calling me sister, you have to listen to me. Come, put on the new clothes." Chun Nuan briskly pulled off his old coat and dressed him in the new one: "Hmm, it’s a bit big and long, but it’s okay."

Chun Nuan tied the cloth belt around his waist.

"This way it’s snug and warm." Chun Nuan secured the belt: "This clothing can last you another year."

"Sister."

Xiao Hu called to Chun Nuan.

"Yes, I’m here." She patted his shoulder: "A good and obedient little brother deserves a reward."

"Sister."

Xiao Hu called again.

Chun Nuan looked at him puzzled, is something wrong?

"I can’t remember wearing new clothes since I was aware of things. Sister, it feels like a dream today."

This child, why must he speak so sentimentally? Chun Nuan’s nose started to sting.

"Next time I come, I’ll bring you clothes that fit perfectly." Chun Nuan said: "You must be well-behaved, take good care of yourself, see the doctor if you’re sick, and take medicine, don’t delay."

"Sister, having you is truly a blessing."

Xiao Hu couldn’t help but cuddle into Chun Nuan’s embrace.

This child, Chun Ning, who is fourteen, is already a head taller than her, and he’s still squeezing into her chest.

"Nuannuan..."

Zhao Minghua returned from a trip. After hearing she was in the kitchen, he walked in and was met with this scene.

"What’s going on here, you?"

Zhao Minghua stepped forward and pulled Xiao Hu away: "Are you bullying people because you’re familiar with the place?"

"Don’t make a fuss." Chun Nuan grabbed his hand with one hand, and Xiao Hu with the other: "This is my newly recognized little brother, don’t scare him."

"Newly recognized little brother?"

Zhao Minghua’s eyes widened: he was only gone for a day, and there’s already another little brother-in-law?

"You, kid..."

Nuannuan is still so young; this kid probably knows the ropes around here, better be careful not to be deceived.

"He has a name, it’s Xiao Hu." Chun Nuan quickly introduced: "Don’t scare him, Xiao Hu, call him Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao?" Xiao Hu remembered: "Sister, is this Brother Zhao the future brother-in-law?"

"Yes."

Chun Nuan replied with a blushing face.

"Hello, brother-in-law, I’m Xiao Hu, we’re family from now on."

"You, kid..." Definitely a smooth talker, but that brother-in-law call made him feel comfortable all over.

"Xiao Hu, why are you calling wrongly?"

Chun Nuan was both amused and annoyed, this child is really mischievous.
