Grandma Gu looked at Empress Dowager Jiang with satisfaction. Look, look how eloquent she is.
That's why I often find fault with Lao Xiao!
With Brother Chuan by my side, how could I possibly be lonely?
Old Xiao is really something. I wonder if he made up with Old Zhou during his trip to Beijing. It's really worrying!
The meal was quite enjoyable. The four Gu sisters wanted to help clear the dishes and clean up the kitchen, but Grandma Gu chased them away.
"You're busy during the day, and you still have to do chores at night? Go, go, go outside and get some fresh air!" Grandma Gu said with a look of disdain, but her words revealed no disdain whatsoever.
Gu Ren, nestled in Grandpa Gu's arms, looked at this hypocritical old woman and sighed, "How did I end up in a family that favors daughters over sons?"
The sisters decided to stroll around the village. Just as they stepped out, Huo Junhao, along with Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu, followed them.
"My brother said there's a cool cave in the back mountain. Do you guys dare to go?" Huo Junhao asked.
The four sisters stared speechlessly at Huo Junhao. "You ask if we dare? Are you trying to provoke us? Are you going to help Meng Meng mess with someone again?"
Gu Xin waved her hand: "Huo Shentong, we dare not! We are girls, we are timid!"
Gu Nian nodded: "Yes, yes, you can go by yourselves!"
Gu Nian felt that with her constitution that attracted many suitors, neither Lu Zheng nor Huo Junhao would like her, but Xue Qianyu was also involved!
This is a big problem to get involved in.
It wasn't that she was being presumptuous; she was genuinely afraid. She'd lived two lives and never been afraid of anything, but now she admitted it: she was afraid of unwanted romantic advances.
Huo Junhao thought they would definitely agree, but they refused outright. He rolled his eyes and said, "Xinxin, Sisi, my brother said there are fireflies near the cave entrance. Let's go catch some! We can put them in a bag and put them in the house at night. They'll be very pretty! Let's go catch some together! I saw you ate a bit too much earlier. If you don't exercise after eating, you'll gain weight!"
Neither Gu Xin nor Gu Si had ever caught fireflies before, and they looked at their two older sisters with some longing.
Looking at the two girls' pitiful appearance, Gu Hui said, "Alright, go ahead then!"
Gu Nian resigned herself to her fate. Poor little sister, born in the countryside and used to catch fireflies. Fine, go ahead. It'll be lively with lots of people. There shouldn't be any problems! She'll just stay away from Xue Qianyu.
Gu Nian firmly denied it, saying that she also wanted to catch fireflies to play with and study. In modern times, apart from catching them on the mountain behind the Taoist temple when she was a child, she had never seen them in the city.
Seeing that everyone was willing, Huo Junhao clapped his hands: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and get my things!"
He turned and went inside, then came out again a little while later. When asked what he had taken, he wouldn't say.
The group followed the stream in the village into the mountains.
Walking along the stream is indeed quite refreshing.
"I see it! There it is!" Once inside the mountains, Gu Si took Gu Xin's hand and pointed to the side.
"Here, here, take this and use it to catch them. Put them inside, and they'll look really nice when there are enough!" Huo Junhao took out a piece of Xuan paper, folded it into an irregular circle, pricked small holes in it with a needle, and handed it to Gu Xin and Gu Si.
The two girls ran over and caught them one by one.
Gu Nian also got one from Huo Junhao and joined the firefly catching team.
"Sister Huihui, aren't you going?" Huo Junhao handed one to Gu Hui.
"Give it to me!" Gu Hui took it. To be honest, she didn't have any friends before. Before Gu Nian's change last year, she had never caught fireflies with anyone.
