"Are you feeling all right?"
There was a hint of worry in Juzi's eyes.
She hadn't eaten anything for so long...
Was she really all right?
Could she have gone so hungry that she couldn't feel it anymore?
"Bao Bao, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Child's Dad asked.
"Dad will buy it for you."
"Grandma made you some congee!"
Juzi looked as though she had remembered something.
She stood up and took the thermos from the table beside her.
"It's your favorite preserved egg lean pork congee."
"Have some before you go back to sleep, okay?"
Juzi opened the thermos.
The fragrance of food rose with the billowing steam.
"Can you smell it?"
Juzi smiled. "It smells wonderful."
The child blinked a little sluggishly.
She nodded.
If Mom wanted her to eat, then she would eat.
Besides...
When she smelled the preserved egg lean pork congee, her stomach seemed a little hungry.
After finishing a bowl of congee, the child's appetite had been whetted somewhat.
She remembered what she wanted to eat.
"Maple Leaf Crisp."
"The Maple Leaf Crisp Auntie Huahua brought last time was so delicious."
The child grinned.
Besides, the exquisite Maple Leaf Crisp looked exactly like the maple leaf in her hand.
Just looking at it filled her with joy.
"Maple Leaf Crisp?"
Child's Dad nodded.
"I'll go buy some."
Juzi had told him that her older sister's family ran a teahouse.
The snacks she brought whenever she visited the child in the hospital were all made by her family's teahouse.
"Mm."
Juzi nodded.
Child's Dad's plan was exactly what she wanted.
There was nothing they could do about the child's wishes.
They could only ask her older sister and her older sister's son, Xiao Xiao, for help
