Now that Guo Shijie is unable to walk, it is a good opportunity for him to stay at home and teach his children.

Old Mrs. Guo quickly lit a fire and boiled a pot of water in her newly bought pot, preparing to use it to soak Old Man Guo's feet when the water was hot.

She squatted down to help Old Man Guo take off his shoes and found that his feet were a little swollen from fatigue.

Mrs. Guo couldn't help but say with some distress: "Didn't that person say he was looking for a laborer? What kind of work do you do? Why are you so tired?"

"What kind of laborers are they? They were directly taken away to move goods."

Although Old Man Guo said this, there was no anger on his face as if he had been fooled.

He reached out and pulled out a string of copper coins from his pocket, handed them to Old Lady Guo, and said, "Here, fifty coins."

If it were before, Mrs. Guo would definitely be very happy to receive these fifty cents.

But seeing Old Man Guo so tired, and remembering that he could earn thirty cents a day just by feeding chickens and ducks, he couldn't help but feel that the fifty cents that Old Man Guo earned after working so hard was a bit of a burden.

After Old Man Guo handed the money to Old Lady Guo, he reached into his arms again.

This time, what was taken out was an oil-paper bag.

He placed it on the kang table and carefully opened it, only to see that there were two pieces of snacks wrapped inside. Although they were a little broken, they still looked very tempting.

As soon as the oil paper package was opened, the sweet aroma of the cake emanated, causing both children to swallow their saliva repeatedly.

Old Man Guo pushed the snacks in front of the two children and said, "Hurry up and eat. These are the best cakes in the capital. You can't get them outside the Great Wall."

Although the two children were so greedy that their saliva was almost flowing, they still did not reach out, but turned their heads to look at Guo Shijie.

"Where did the snacks come from?" Old Mrs. Guo looked at the two snacks and her mouth began to water.

You know, if you want the pastries to taste good, you must add more oil and sugar.

With both ingredients in plenty, how could it not taste good?

"In the afternoon, we were taken to the backyard of a pastry shop to move things, all of which were grains, oils, rice and flour. Later, we also moved a cart of pastries.

"A clerk in the shop accidentally dropped a large box of pastries. The box was broken and could no longer be sold.

"The boss is kind enough to let us share the snacks and then continue working.

"I was only given these two pieces, and I couldn't bear to eat them, so I wanted to bring them back for my child to try.

"It just so happened that they all ate them directly, and no one wanted the oil paper that was inside the box, so I wrapped the snacks and brought them back."

After he finished speaking, he urged, "Yunhui, Yunze, you two should eat quickly!"

Guo Shijie pulled the oil-paper package in front of him, broke both cakes in half, and pushed them back to the middle of the table, saying, "Dad, Mom, Yunhui, Yunze, all of you come and try some of the cakes."

Guo Yunhui looked at the snack eagerly and asked, "Dad, why don't you divide it into five portions? Don't you want to eat it?"

"Grandpa and grandma went out to work today to earn money. Although you two didn't earn any money, you stayed here with me this afternoon and cleaned the house, so the cakes can be divided among the four of you.

"Dad didn't do any work today and didn't make any money, so he can't eat."

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she was about to speak when Old Man Guo reached out and grabbed her.

He took the initiative to reach out and pick up a piece of cake and said to the two children: "Your father is right, eat it quickly!"

Guo Yunze blushed and said, "But, but when we cleaned, Dad told us what to do and how to do it. He also contributed a lot, so he should also have a share of the snacks."

Guo Yunhui had already grabbed a piece of cake, but after hearing his brother's words, he stuffed it into Guo Shijie's mouth.

Guo Shijie was caught off guard and his son stuffed his mouth full of food, choking him so much that he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guo picked up the two remaining dim sum pieces, one in each hand, and handed them to her two grandsons, saying, "What your father said just now is right, and you did a great job.

"But your father made a mistake. Although grandma brought back the copper coins today, she didn't do any work. This was just a deposit.

"That's why grandma can't eat snacks. You two can each have a bite. Come on and eat."

The two children were instantly confused by the adults' logic.

Is this edible or not?

They had no choice but to look at Guo Shijie again.

"Grandma is willing to give it to you, what should you say?"

The two children knew that this meant they were allowed to eat, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandma!"

"Oh, we are all family, there is no need to thank me." Mrs. Guo said with a smile.

"We can't let them feel that everything at home is their responsibility. If they do, they won't be able to appreciate the efforts of others."

After hearing her son say this, Mrs. Guo fell silent.

After a long while, she stood up and said, "Hey, hurry up and eat. I have to make some porridge while the fire outside is still burning. Drinking a bowl of hot porridge in the evening is the most comfortable thing."

After leaving the house, Mrs. Guo pulled up her clothes and wiped the corners of her eyes.

She knew in her heart that because of her daughter's death and her causing trouble in the Ye family, although Old Man Guo and Guo Shijie didn't say it, they actually blamed her in their hearts.

They blamed her for spoiling her daughter since she was young, causing her to become ignorant of the world after she got married and do things that hurt others and herself and brought shame to her family.

But who among them ever thought that their daughter was the result of her ten months of pregnancy and great pain, and was the flesh and blood that fell from her body.

When she learned that her daughter was gone, she was sadder and heartbroken than anyone else.

Apart from crying and making a fuss, she didn't know how to vent the frustration in her heart.
