Chapter 56: Eyes Full of Years

A new member joined the Gu family today, Wu Zhiren, who also stayed at home for dinner. His dress did not blend in with the Gu family, and it was obvious that his family was not doing well. However, no one in the Gu family showed any disdain for him.

Chen Hong knew that this was a young man who her son got along well with, so she rarely showed any disapproval.

The familiar smell of braised pork that Gu Jin smelled when he returned home was the braised pork offal that she made yesterday and left for the family. Chen Hong heated up a large bowl of it when she cooked in the evening. The rich aroma spread everywhere and was really tempting.

This braised dish was also the most popular dish among the group and was quickly eaten up.

Wu Zhiren looked at the bowl of braised soup with his eyes shining and a look of reluctance.

It's not that he had never eaten meat before, but this was the first time he ate such delicious meat, and it was made from pig offal.

It’s so delicious that I want to swallow my tongue.

Looking at him like this, Gu Jiajie had a look of disgust on his face, but his eyes were also staring at the braised soup in the bowl with a look of regret.

As for what is a pity, only he knows.

After dinner, Gu Jin took the child back to the house and reviewed the book knowledge with him.

Night falls.

The lights in Gu Jin's room were still on. She sat at the table and combed her hair. She looked at her childish face in the mirror and still couldn't believe it.

He died in his previous life, and after closing his eyes and opening them again, he unexpectedly returned to twenty-five years ago.

At that time, she had a tender face, red lips, white teeth, delicate eyebrows and eyes. She was considered a beauty. There was no one else with such looks, at least in Qingshan Village.

If she didn't have some capital, she wouldn't have been married to the Liu family after being taken back to Youcheng by the Zhen family, and would not have been often taken out for social events.

Gu Jin touched his fair face, looking a little dazed.

No matter how childish her face is, her eyes are filled with the accumulation of years.

Those were not the eyes of a sixteen-year-old girl. They contained too many complicated and heavy things.

Looking at the small mirror in his hand, Gu Jin met the gaze of An Mingji who was sitting beside the bed.

There was a hint of sleepiness in the other person's confused eyes.

Gu Jin put down the small mirror and walked towards the little wolf cub with his hair loose.

Noticing her coming, the child immediately lowered his head and started reading seriously.

Gu Jin smiled: "Go to sleep if you are tired. You can't finish reading these books in one day."

"I'm not sleepy yet. I can watch for a while longer."

"But I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

Seeing that he was being stubborn, Gu Jin forcefully put away all the books on the bed, spread the quilt and prepared to go to bed.

The lights in the other rooms had been turned off long ago, leaving only her room and her cousin's room with the lights still on.

Gu Jin washed the child's face, rinsed his mouth, turned on the light, and got into bed to sleep.

Although she was supposed to sleep, Gu Jin couldn't fall asleep at all. She had slept very well during the day, so now she could only look out the window with her eyes open.

The moonlight from the crescent moon hanging high in the sky fell on the small courtyard, allowing her to see at a glance the wild boar meat covered on the wooden boards in the yard.

Only about ten pounds of pork were sold today. There are only a limited number of people in the village who want to buy meat, and not every household is willing to spend money to buy meat.

The remaining pork will be sold at Kui City for about 500 kilograms, and the rest will be kept at home.

Five hundred kilograms of pork would only earn more than a thousand yuan, which is a lot of money for any family in Qingshan Village.

But for Gu Jin, there was nothing he could do, it was too little.

She planned to go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange before going to school to buy the stock she knew, a stock that was bound to rise in value and make her a fortune, even with a potential to rise a hundred times.
