"Xinxin, let me ask you, if you only had one watermelon seed, would you plant it for me or for your brother Yuanyuan?" Gu Nian was jealous, feeling that her younger sister had been treating Lu Zheng much better lately.
Gu Shouxin recalled how his daughter had criticized him for being stupid when he was jealous before. Sigh!
“Sister, why are you so silly? How could there only be one watermelon seed? There are many seeds in a watermelon. I have one, so why can’t I have more? Even if there is only one, why would I give it to you? I can plant it myself! I can use a jade bead to make the watermelon grow bigger all at once, and then I can cut it open and find many seeds.” Gu Xin said.
Gu Nian: "..."
Gu Shouxin: I knew it, he would definitely call you stupid!
Cai Xiaolian: "Xinxin, what if you only have one bowl of rice? Your mother and your brother Yuanyuan are so hungry that we don't have any strength left. This bowl of rice can only be eaten by one person. Who will you give it to?"
Gu Xin asked in confusion, "Why is there only one bowl of rice? I have jade beads. Even if there's only one bowl of rice, I'll be full after eating just one of my jade beads!"
Cai Xiaolian: "...What if you don't have jade beads?"
“It’s okay if we don’t have jade beads! I can climb trees, I can pick fruit from the trees, and if we encounter any silly pheasants like Yuan Yuan said, I can catch them! Besides, how could Dad let Mom go hungry?” Gu Xin felt that these were not problems, but after answering, she felt that something was wrong, so she said, “Dad, Mom, Sister, why do you all have to compare yourselves to Yuan Yuan?”
The time-traveling trio: "We're just seeing you getting close to that brat Zhou Yuan, aren't we?"
"Is it close?" Gu Xin was taken aback, then said, "Brother Yuanyuan is really nice! When we first met, he was helping us fight people at the gambling den. Later, he even gave our family seeds. Sometimes he would help me and Sisi scare away the boys who bullied us. He always helps me whenever I ask for his help. For example, last time he took us to fight a group of more than a dozen of Zhang Xiaohu's cousins. Later, he took me, Sister Huihui, Sisi, and me to deal with Cheng Rui. He takes care of me, Sisi, and Enzi just like Sister Huihui does. We all treat him like an older brother!"
"Dad, Mom, Sister, please don't compare me to Yuanyuan anymore, okay? In my heart, no one can replace you. You are the most important people in my life, irreplaceable!" Gu Xin said seriously.
The Time-Traveling Trio: ...
I got a scolding from the little girl.
The jade beads are indeed very effective. Look how meticulous their little Xin Xin is in her thinking; she doesn't fall for their tricks and now has her own ideas.
I'm afraid they won't have to worry about it anymore in a few years.
“Dad, Mom, Sister, I know. At first, Yuanyuan seemed a bit strange and eccentric, but maybe we weren’t familiar with him then! Now that we’re more familiar, he’s perfectly normal, a really nice older brother! Besides, Yuanyuan is Grandma Xiao’s grandson. Grandma Xiao and Grandma have been good friends for decades. Could Grandma Xiao be a bad person? Yuanyuan, whom Grandma Xiao raised, wouldn’t be a weirdo either,” Gu Xin added.
"You little rascal, you've really got a knack for scolding people these days!" Cai Xiaolian poked Gu Xin's cheek.
"Xinxin, after Dad finishes his exams in a couple of days, I'll buy you lots of books. Study them a lot! When you're out there, no one will be able to argue with you!" Gu Shouxin added.
"Xinxin, you must tell your sister if you have any thoughts in your heart! Your sister is just like you, you are also the most important and irreplaceable person in your sister's life!" Gu Nian said.
