Uncle Gu got excited when he talked about this: "Mom, let me tell you, after Lao Kang and Lao Xue went there, they were bossed around by that kid Huo Junhao. They didn't even get to try many fruits and vegetables. That kid Huo Junhao even had someone take them to the beach in southern Xinjiang to collect seafood. Neither of them wanted to come back! Lao Kang said that after he tasted everything and found out which ones were the best, he would get a big vat, fill it with seawater, and bring the seafood back to you and Dad. Lao Xue said he wanted to fill an even bigger vat to give to the second son, to curry favor with his in-laws! Hahaha, I want to go to the beach too!"
Grandma Gu smirked, "Whatever makes you happy!"
Uncle Gu pulled Grandma Gu's arm: "Come on, let's go back inside and have some fruit!"
After saying that, he looked at the girls and said, "Niannian, show off your top-notch knife skills and make ten or eight fruit platters! You mentioned pineapple rice last time, I grew pineapples for you, lots of them!"
Gu Si wanted to slap her father on the forehead. "We're worried about our older sister, and you're happily figuring out what to eat!"
Dad, do you have a heart?
None of them mentioned Gu Hui; they went home to eat fruit.
Gu Nian was in the kitchen teaching the cook how to make pineapple rice. It wasn't difficult, and the cook quickly learned how.
Then their restaurant will soon be introducing new dishes.
The family ate dinner happily and then chatted together.
After discussing it with Gu Shouxin, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu decided not to tell the rest of the family about Grandma Gu taking Gu Xin and Gu Nian to the Goddess Kingdom.
Gu Si and Huo Yanyu wouldn't tell either.
The main problem is that there are three pregnant women in the family right now. If Cai Xiaolian knew, she definitely wouldn't want the two sisters to go. If they went, they would start to overthink and worry about the three of them.
So, Grandma Gu said she planned to take Gu Xin and Gu Nian to Linzhou.
The excuse has already been prepared. Peng Yizhu and Gu Qingyuan will arrive in Linzhou Prefecture no later than the end of March. Gu's grandmother's father and Gu Qingyuan's grandfather are brothers. Gu's grandmother wants to test Gu Qingyuan. If he is good, she will acknowledge him; if not, she will let Gu Shouxin treat him as an official.
Neither Zhang nor Yang thought much of it, but Cai Xiaolian was somewhat puzzled.
The old lady doesn't seem like such a warm-hearted person. Why is she suddenly going? And why isn't she taking the old man and her two granddaughters with her?
She had heard that the longest the old man and the old woman had ever been apart since they met was no more than three days.
When it was time for bed, Cai Xiaolian asked Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin sighed inwardly, "It's hard to lie to a smart wife!"
However, not lying to her doesn't mean he told her directly; it was Gu Shouxin who suggested not telling his family about it in the first place.
Gu Shouxin had previously heard from Gu Nian that Cai Xiaolian was likely having twins, so he took even better care of her than he had last year.
He was also afraid that Cai Xiaolian would worry about her daughter all the time.
So he casually said, "The old lady's main purpose in going out this time wasn't really to see if Gu Qingyuan was alright. She just took Xinxin and Niannian with her to run errands. You know, the four children manage the family business very well, so they can't all go out together. Otherwise, how could Sisi and Yanyu not follow along!"
Cai Xiaolian frowned: "What is it? Mother usually doesn't want to talk to us, she'd love to be with Father! How could she bear to leave?"
Gu Shouxin: "I told you not to tell your sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law!"
Cai Xiaolian nodded.
Gu Shouxin said mysteriously, "Father sent Mother on this trip because he was worried she would be bored by herself, so he sent Xinxin and Niannian with her. As for what it is, you'll find out when they come back in a few days."
