He was afraid that Cai Xiaolian would end up like that, a beauty who could be blown away by the wind, beautiful as she was, but short-lived!
He even planned to live to be seventy or eighty with Xiaolian!
Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him, then got up to clear the table and wash the dishes.
"You've been busy all afternoon, let me do it!" Gu Shouxin stopped Cai Xiaolian.
"Alright, I'll take my daughters next door to take a look. Actually, I really want to see how the plants that were watered with the jade bead water grow. Do they bloom in the blink of an eye, and then bear fruit in the blink of an eye?" Cai Xiaolian didn't try to stop them.
In a family, there's no need to distinguish who does what. In the entire Gu family, there's no reason why the men shouldn't go into the kitchen.
This aspect pleased Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian.
“Okay, you guys go ahead, I’ll be right there.” Gu Shouxin nodded.
The mother and her two daughters each carried two oil lamps and headed towards the old house.
The eight vegetable plots that were planted have already sprouted again. Five of the eight plots are flowering plants, one is fruit, and two are vegetables.
The flowers are all orchids, the fruit is dragon fruit, and the vegetables are zucchini and carrots.
"Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhou is really amazing, he even got the seeds of this thing! If Mr. Zhou weren't afraid to come to our village, I would really like to invite him over to chat about who he has met all these years!" Gu Nian said with admiration as he stood next to the dragon fruit field.
"Sister, do you recognize this? Also, why doesn't Master Zhou dare to come to our village?" Gu Xin asked curiously.
“Yes, I recognize it! I’ve heard people in town say it’s delicious. Let’s pick one and try it!” Gu Nian put down the oil lamp, picked one, peeled it, and took a bite.
This one has a white center, and it's quite sweet.
Gu Xin also picked one and ate it, just like Gu Nian had done. Mmm, it really was sweet.
"Oh right, sister, you haven't told me why Master Zhou doesn't dare to come to our village." Gu Xin finished eating one, but hadn't forgotten the question she had just asked.
"Because there are people in our village he's afraid of, so he doesn't dare come. He's offended them, so he has to hide," Gu Nian said with a smile.
This girl has a pretty good memory!
"We have to avoid him? Did he offend our grandma?" Gu Xin asked, startled.
Looking at the entire village, only those who have offended her grandmother and are not from the village dare not set foot in Sanchakou Village. Even the villagers themselves dare not hang around her grandmother often.
"Uh... I guess so! Xinxin, don't ask Grandpa and Grandma, okay? Let's just pretend we don't know anything about this," Gu Nian said after thinking for a moment.
Offending Grandma Xiao is the same as offending Grandma Gu, no doubt about it, she wasn't lying.
However, she still reminded Gu Xin not to seek confirmation. They should still act as if they didn't know that Zhou Yuan was Lu Zheng and that Grandma Xiao was Madam Zhou.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything, I just don't know how to explain that their family knows about this.
"Okay, okay." Gu Xin nodded obediently.
"Niannian, come and see, aren't these all orchids? I recognize this Phalaenopsis, I recognize Gladiolus, I recognize Cymbidium goeringii, this is Cymbidium faberi, right? And this looks like Cymbidium ensifolium, doesn't it?" Cai Xiaolian didn't eat the dragon fruit, but went to look at the flowers instead.
"Yes, yes, that's right. These lotus petal orchids are very expensive, one plant must cost over a million! I wonder if the people here can afford such a high price!" Gu Nian said in surprise.
In her previous life, her brother was a politician and also had a hobby of growing flowers, so she knew a little about him.
