These ointments were all taken from Aunt Xiao!
Gu Shouxin couldn't figure it out after thinking about it all day. But when Cai Xiaolian told Gu Xin to take a bath that evening, he finally understood: water, their family's water.
Their well water could make crops grow overnight, so it wouldn't be surprising if his wound healed overnight as well.
If Xin Xin's injuries are gone by tomorrow morning, then it must be a problem with their well water.
The next morning, Gu Shouxin waited in the yard for the two children to come and practice.
Seeing the scars still on Gu Xin's face, he fell into deep thought. What exactly was the problem?
He didn't know that Gu Xin added jade beads to his bath, but not to hers. She was afraid that her injuries were healing too quickly, and that others would suspect her if Sisi's injuries didn't heal. So, she didn't eat any jade beads.
Even so, the scars on her face were still more numerous than those on Gu Siqian's face.
However, her actions made Gu Shouxin question his life for several days.
...
With the big cat caught, Gu Shouxin was able to move freely, and the couple went to the county again to sell New Year's goods.
The best-selling items are snowflake crisps and nougat, which are also the most expensive.
Their stall was set up right outside Zuijianglou. Now, thanks to Cai Xiaolian's reforms and the addition of Gu Nian's dishes, plus the fact that Madam Cheng had invited people over for dinner, Zuijianglou had become the number one restaurant in Taoyuan County.
Even merchant ships traveling from the north and south would dock at the pier, and their passengers would come into the city for a meal.
With more people, won't the New Year's goods sell even better?
On the day before the Lunar New Year, the old house slaughtered a pig, and Aunt Gu brought her husband's family back to eat the pig-slaughtering feast.
This is a task that Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu assign her every year.
Her husband's family wasn't large; it was just the three of them, plus her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law.
That morning, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin brought the goods they wanted to sell to Zuijianglou and asked Manager Cheng to help them sell them. Then they rushed back to help.
They had barely returned to the old house when the Guo family arrived.
The four Gu sisters were collecting pig bristles when they heard the noise and looked towards the front door.
A middle-aged woman dressed in flamboyant clothes walked in with Grandma Gu. Yes, she was dressed flamboyantly, with a large red flower in her hair and her makeup was a bit exaggerated.
Gu Nian twitched her lips. "Is this my third aunt's mother-in-law, Madam Qin?"
My third aunt's husband must look more like my father than my mother!
Following them were their third aunt and uncle, along with their six-year-old son, Guo Rui, who seemed to be a good-looking child.
Next up is a brother and sister, Guo Wan and Guo Yan, the younger sister and brother-in-law of the third aunt. These two are twins, both seventeen years old this year. They are indeed twins, even their expressions are exactly the same, and they make no attempt to hide their dislike for this farmhouse.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Hui patted Gu Nian.
"It's nothing. I was just wondering if our third aunt's husband was adopted. The difference in their appearances is too great!" Gu Nian exclaimed.
Gu Hui: "..."
Gu Nian hasn't changed at all; she still cares so much about her appearance. I've mentioned it to her several times before.
"Hey! What are you guys doing? You've run out of things to play with, so you've started playing with pig bristles? Aren't you disgusted by the dirt? You're such country bumpkins, you'll play with anything!" Guo Yan ran over, looked at the four sisters, and said with disdain.
“Yes, it’s very dirty. You’ll be eating meat this dirty later. Look, there’s blood on the ground. We’ll be cooking it for you later!” Gu Nian laughed.
