Chapter 190 Alan visits to express her gratitude
Su Jinjin nodded and handed the baby bottle to Su Nuannuan.

After Su Jinjin had completely left, Su Nuannuan poured the boiled spiritual spring water from her space into the baby bottle, and then added an appropriate amount of milk powder.

Su Nuannuan only gave Wenliang the drink after it was cool enough to handle.

After spending the last two days together, Su Nuannuan has become quite adept at carrying Wenliang.

Su Nuannuan brought the milk powder, which she had prepared with the spiritual spring water, closer to Wenliang. She quickly saw Wenliang, whose eyes had been closed, twitch his nose and move his mouth toward the nipple.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan gave a mischievous smile.

She moved the hand holding the bottle slightly upwards. At the same time, she saw Wenliang's head also move upwards, his little mouth slightly pouting, wanting to drink the milk powder that was so close to him.

With a mischievous grin, Su Nuannuan gently touched Wenliang's lips with the pacifier stained with milk. Wenliang, tasting the milky aroma, smacked his lips a few times.

But soon, he couldn't taste the milk anymore. Wenliang frowned, and it looked like he was about to cry.

Just then, Su Jinjin finished her breakfast. She came in and saw this scene.

Su Jinjin rolled her eyes at Su Nuannuan helplessly and said.

"Give Liangliang to me quickly. If you keep teasing this little guy, he's going to cry."

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan immediately handed Liangliang to Su Jinjin.

"Big sister, here's Liangliang for you, I'm going to eat."

"Hey."

The army's breakfast was very simple: cornbread and stir-fried cabbage. Su Nuannuan ate her breakfast without any appetite.

Cheng Junqi and his two little ones went out to play with the other children in the family compound.

Su Nuannuan didn't know anyone else in the residential compound. Besides, only her older sister and Liangliang were home, which made her a little worried.

Just as Su Nuannuan was idly spacing out, there was a knock on the door.

Since everyone in the residential compound knows each other, they usually don't lock their gates. Su Jinjin's family was no exception.

Therefore, when Su Nuannuan heard the knocking, she looked up and saw Alan standing at the door carrying a large bucket.

When Alan saw Su Nuannuan, she excitedly waved and greeted her.

Su Nuannuan was happy to see an acquaintance. She waved and let Alan in.

Su Nuannuan spoke only after Alan approached.

"Ah Lan, are you here to see my older sister?"

Alan shook her head and said to Su Nuannuan.

"No. Sister, I came to see you. The medicine you gave me is really good. My father's fever has gone down. He can get out of bed today."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuannuan smiled gently and said.

"That's great. But you still need to take your medicine on time for the next few days, and stop taking it once you're completely recovered."

Alan nodded, agreeing with Su Nuannuan's statement.

Her father was the pillar of the family. She hadn't understood the meaning of that phrase before, but after what had happened these past few days, Alan understood. If her father were gone, their family might not be able to survive.

Uncle Zhao was the most capable fisherman on the island. He supported his wife and daughters with his fishing skills. Although they didn't own any land to farm, the catch he made was more than enough to sustain them.

However, fishing is risky. A slight mishap can lead to a shipwreck. Moreover, the cold weather easily makes people sick. In these times, illness is a matter of life and death. What's more, they live on a resource-scarce island. A few days ago, Uncle Zhao Qi had a high fever, which terrified A-Lan and her mother.

When they saw that Su Nuannuan's medicine had saved Uncle Zhao, Alan's family was extremely grateful.

If Uncle Zhao Qi weren't bedridden, he would have liked to go into the sea and catch some big fish for Su Nuannuan. However, Aunt Lan has been going to the beach with a small bucket since yesterday, collecting all the crabs, shrimps, and various edible shellfish that have washed ashore, intending to give them all to Su Nuannuan.

After Uncle Zhao was able to get out of bed, Alan also joined the beachcombing team.

These past two days, Alan and her mother have found quite a few good things. This morning, Alan brought all of these things to find Su Nuannuan.

Alan placed the bucket in her hand in front of Su Nuannuan, her eyes shining.

"Sister, this is for you, please accept it."

Meeting their sincere eyes, Su Nuannuan felt a warmth in her heart. She had only mentioned that she liked to eat these things, and the Lan family had taken her words to heart. This touched Su Nuannuan deeply.

She did not refuse the shrimp and crabs that Alan brought, and said to Alan.

"Thank you, Alan. I'll accept these things."

After speaking, Su Nuannuan paused for a moment before continuing.

"Ah Lan, I need your help with something. Can you stay here now?"

Alan nodded, agreeing immediately before Su Nuannuan could even explain what it was about.

"Sure. Sister, just let me handle anything you need. I can do it."

Su Nuannuan smiled and said.

"Okay. Wait for me a moment."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan turned and went to the kitchen. When she came out again, she was carrying a bowl of malted milk powder.

Su Nuannuan originally wanted to make a bowl of milk powder for Alan. However, after thinking about it, she worried that her older sister would overthink it, so she gave up on the idea.

After Su Nuannuan came out, she handed the malted milk powder to Alan.

"Ah Lan, this is some malted milk powder I just made. Drink it so you'll have the energy to help me with the work later."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Alan, who had been feeling a little awkward, immediately relaxed. She readily accepted the malted milk powder and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Sister, thank you."

After thanking Su Nuannuan, Alan began to slowly savor this rare delicacy. Alan had never eaten much good food growing up; Uncle Zhao Qi's earnings were all spent on buying grain.

Alan remembers first learning about malted milk powder from the women in the family compound.

She'd seen this stuff before and heard it was incredibly expensive. But she'd never actually tried it. Now that she had the chance, Alan couldn't wait to savor every sip of malted milk powder over ten minutes.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan didn't urge her. She also made herself a bowl of malted milk powder and drank it with Alan.

Su Nuannuan added spiritual spring water to the malted milk powder she gave Alan. It wasn't that Su Nuannuan was overly compassionate; rather, Alan looked too thin, and Su Nuannuan was worried about her health, wanting to use the spiritual spring water to help nourish her.

The spiritual spring water was very effective. After drinking a bowl of malted milk powder, Alan's complexion improved significantly.

Su Nuannuan was very pleased to see this.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding." Having drunk Su Nuannuan's malted milk powder, Alan now wanted to do something for Su Nuannuan immediately.

Su Nuannuan wasn't lying. She genuinely wanted to keep Alan around to help her with the shrimp and crabs at home.

Yesterday, Hei Zi brought a bucket. Today, A Lan brought another bucket.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, lest they die and waste food.

The seafood that Hei Zi and A Lan brought consisted mostly of shrimp and crab. There weren't many seashells. The two probably heard about the crab pieces and shrimp balls she made yesterday and assumed she liked those.
