In the end, no dinner was eaten.
Gu Xin, who usually doesn't wash her feet to avoid wasting firewood, was forced by Gu Shouxin to wash her feet.
The water was a bit hot, but in winter, a soak would make it warmer to sleep in.
She also went to call her mother and sister, but they were already asleep.
Seeing that Gu Shouxin had left the kitchen, Gu Xin thought about what had happened that day and couldn't help but spread her hands to see if the jade stone was still there.
The main reason was that everything that happened today felt unreal to her, so she wanted to see the jade stone.
As soon as he opened his hand and thought of jade, the small jade fish appeared.
Gu Xin was overjoyed. She stared at her palm for a while, then couldn't help but wonder what the jade stone was for and why it had disappeared into her palm.
As she thought this, a jade bead suddenly emerged from the mouth of the jade fish in her hand.
Gu Xin was so frightened that her hand trembled.
The jade bead fell, landing right in the foot basin, splashing a little water.
The jade beads melted as soon as they hit the water, as if they had never been there.
Gu Xin was stunned. She blinked, looking at the jade fish in her palm and then at the foot basin.
She thought the kitchen oil lamp was too dim, so she bent down and used her other hand to scoop something out of the foot basin, but unfortunately, there was nothing there except her little feet.
At this moment, Gu Shouxin walked in. Seeing Gu Xin's actions, he smiled and said, "Xin Xin knows that she hasn't washed her feet for many days. Do your little feet smell bad and need to be scrubbed? Come on, let Dad scrub them for you!"
Gu Xin hurriedly sat down, not knowing whether her father had seen the jade fish in her hand.
However, before she could think about it, someone started rubbing her feet hard.
Gu Xin felt someone tickling her, and her feet moved uncontrollably. She quickly said, "Daddy, Daddy, I can do it myself! Haha, hehe, I can do it myself!"
Gu Shouxin thought about it and agreed.
Gu Xin is already ten years old, and she will be eleven after the New Year.
Looking at her thin, short, and dark appearance, he subconsciously felt that she was only five or six years old.
Moreover, he just smelled the girl's stinky feet; she must not have washed them for days!
Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven; sons should avoid their mothers as they grow up, and daughters should avoid their fathers as they grow up. He should not have done this.
Never mind, it's not just this girl, the whole family of four does this, to save firewood.
That's absolutely unacceptable now that he's in charge. He can't let them not wash their feet anymore. They're smelly, who would like that?
He'll go to the mountains tomorrow and bring back two bundles of firewood.
Gu Shouxin stood up: "Okay, do it yourself. I just went to add a blanket to your room. When you go to sleep tonight, remember to wrap yourself up tightly so you don't catch a cold."
Gu Xin rubbed her toes with both hands, then looked up and shook her head when she heard this: "Dad, I don't need it. I'm warm enough to sleep on at night. You and Mom can use it, or you can give it to my sister."
Gu Shouxin waved his hand: "Once you're done washing, go inside and cover yourself with a blanket. Once your feet are warm, you'll fall asleep quickly."
Gu Xin was used to obeying her family. She would only argue once, and then she wouldn't dare to do it again. So she obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing Gu Xin's obedient appearance, Gu Shouxin couldn't help but think of his eldest daughter at home.
The younger daughter is just as I remember her, but the older daughter seems a little different!
He's already decided on his wife; she must have had some strange experiences, maybe like his own. But he's not sure about his eldest daughter yet.
The main problem is that the original owner didn't have many memories of her eldest daughter, especially after the eldest daughter started doing embroidery on her own, she completely ignored the original owner.
He couldn't help but frown.
