On a long bench at the entrance of the main room, the family of four sat in a row. Gu Shouxin had a basket of eggs in his arms, and all four of them looked at the eggs in the basket.
The vegetables in the garden all ripened overnight.
Each chicken in the coop lays two eggs per day.
What kind of mess is this?!
"Let's wait and see if it's still like this tomorrow. Xiaolian, Niannian, Xinxin, none of us should touch the vegetable garden today. Let's see what the situation is like when we wake up tomorrow morning." Gu Shouxin pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, so he could only hold back and wait and see what happened tomorrow.
"Okay!" The mother and her two daughters nodded in unison.
"Niannian, Xinxin, you two go make dinner. Your mother and I are outside harvesting all the vegetables from the garden. We'll keep some for the next few days, and I'll take the rest to town to sell tomorrow," Gu Shouxin said, handing the basket to Gu Nian.
The two sisters went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
"Xiao Lian, I plan to go to Yuzhou Prefecture tomorrow, it may take three days. Don't be afraid to stay home with the children. If anything happens, go to the old house to find your parents." Gu Shouxin took out a kitchen knife and said while cooking.
"Is it about resolving the silver issue?" Cai Xiaolian asked upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she stopped what she was doing. "Your Excellency, can you tell me how to resolve the silver issue? Three hundred taels in ten days, are you planning to become a masked robber?"
Gu Shouxin shook his head: "I'll go back to where the money was lost and find it there."
"You mean the gambling den? You're going to gamble?" Cai Xiaolian asked in surprise.
“Just this once. I only have one or two taels of silver on hand. I only earned thirty coins this morning doing hard labor at the docks. By the way, don’t tell Xin Xin about this. She’ll probably worry if she finds out. I’m just going to settle the gambling debts left by the original owner and also get some silver for us to keep in reserve for a rainy day,” Gu Shouxin said.
"Are you a great gambler?" Cai Xiaolian asked curiously.
“Winning a little money is fine. But if it’s too big, it will cause trouble. So, I’m going to Yuzhou Prefecture. I don’t think anyone there knows me.” Gu Shouxin did not deny it.
"Alright, be careful out there. The three of us are at home, and the old house is nearby, so nothing will happen. Even if Zhang Bapi and his gang come again, we're not afraid; Nian Nian's kung fu is pretty good," Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
Gu Nian's skills would make him a talent, whether in modern times or ancient times.
When Gu Nian was born, her family suffered a tragedy, leaving only the brother and sister. Gu Nian was more than ten years younger than her brother, so he essentially raised her. When she was three or four years old, she was in poor health, and since her brother was in college, he sent her to a Taoist temple to be raised. She was only brought back when she was twelve and ready to start junior high school, after her brother had already married, had children, and become a minor leader.
Then Gu Nian lived with her brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece until she transmigrated into the book.
Those martial arts disciples were trained by Taoist priests in a Taoist temple from a young age.
Although she later left the Taoist temple, she did not slack off in her martial arts training.
...
Soon, the kitchen was filled with delicious aromas. Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian packed the radishes, cabbages, cucumbers, and eggplants they were going to sell the next day into bamboo baskets. Each item filled three baskets to the brim, and they even kept a lot for their own consumption.
Their vegetable garden is quite large.
"Dad, Mom, dinner's ready! My sister's cooking smells so good!" Gu Xin ran out excitedly to call out.
