Gu Xin learned a few more words today and is very happy.
After recording today's income and expenses, the family of four began to divide the money.
Everyone knew that the money to pay off the debt had been secured, so Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian decided that they would give the child money every month from now on.
Today is considered part of this month.
Of the four taels and three hundred and fifteen cash, three hundred and fifteen cash were kept in the public treasury, and the rest were one tael each.
Gu Xin didn't want it at first, because of past examples of New Year's money, she thought that since her sister would always take it from her anyway, she might as well just give it to her sister.
When she said this to Gu Nian, Gu Nian blushed: "Xin Xin, I already have some, I don't need it. From now on, we sisters will both have some. I will never take your things again."
Although Gu Nian had no memory, judging from Gu Xin's behavior and her parents' teasing looks, how could Gu Nian not know what the original owner had done?
“Xinxin, here you go. This is yours. From now on, you can buy delicious food and pretty things yourself. When the peddler comes, you can go from being his potential customer to becoming his customer directly!” Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mother, thank you, Sister, thank you, Father!" Gu Xin accepted a string of copper coins, exactly one thousand coins.
“Here’s five taels of silver. It’s what I was going to give you that night, but you fell asleep. Don’t say you don’t want it. Over the years, I haven’t bought you any new clothes or any delicious sweets or pastries. I’m using this five taels of silver to make up for it. From now on, I’ll buy things for Xin Xin often.” Gu Shouxin took the five taels of silver that he had prepared for Gu Xin from Cai Xiaolian and gave it to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin's big eyes were brimming with tears: "Dad!"
She didn't know what to say, but she just wanted to cry.
Dad is so good!
"Alright, stop crying. Xinxin is already a ten-year-old girl. After the New Year, our Xinxin will be eleven!" Cai Xiaolian hugged the child and wiped away her tears.
"Mom, I want a hug too!" Gu Nian stretched out her hands pitifully.
Although she is already in her twenties in modern times, she really has no memory of being held by her mother.
Cai Xiaolian would be almost fifty years old in modern times, and she treats her like a mother, which is really not at all incongruous.
Seeing the mother and her two daughters embracing, the Ninth Prince moved his lips but ultimately remained silent.
He really wanted to say that he also wanted a hug.
But he was willing to bet that if he hugged her, Cai Xiaolian would definitely kick him away.
Never mind, never mind...
...
It's been seven days since Gu Nian made the dish "scum pepper," and it's time to pay back the debt.
That morning, Gu Nian took out the leftover chili peppers from the jar, intending to try making a twice-cooked pork dish.
Hmm, she'd never tried eating twice-cooked pork with chili peppers for breakfast before.
Today, his family doesn't plan to go to town to sell cakes. Instead, they plan to accompany Gu Shouxin to Taoyuan County to pay off his gambling debts, sell cakes there, and also sell some pickled chili peppers.
Anyway, their cake stand is mobile.
The road to Taoyuan County is about 15 minutes longer than the road to Zhoujia Town, but it won't cause any delays at all.
Gu Nian made a plate of twice-cooked pork with chili sauce, steamed rice, made a cold radish salad, and then made a soup with cucumber and eggs.
The spicy chili sauce was a favorite of the whole family of four; they're a family that loves spicy food.
On a winter morning, they can still break a sweat while eating breakfast; in this Sanchakou Village, probably only their family would do that.
After finishing their meal, they washed the dishes, tidied up their belongings, and even brought a plate of pickled chili peppers. The family of four then went to the old house.
