Gu Shouxin took the basket off Gu Xin's back and carried it himself: "From now on, when Dad goes up the mountain to gather firewood, I'll go and say hello to your grandparents, and then we'll go home."
Gu Xin blinked her big eyes, looked at Gu Shouxin for a few seconds, and then obediently nodded: "Oh!"
She hurriedly went into the house, greeted her grandparents, and then quickly ran out to follow Gu Shouxin.
She felt that it must be because she had saved the little fish today, and the little fish had leaped over the Dragon Gate and become a dragon. She had saved the Dragon King's child.
Heaven, considering she saved the Dragon King's child, will surely not allow such good parents and sisters to return to their former state.
It's not that her parents and sisters from before were bad; it's just that she prefers her current parents to her former ones.
Knowing that her wonderful parents and sister would never leave her, Gu Xin's steps became lighter.
Gu Shouxin reached out and took his little girl's hand: "Walk slowly, be careful not to trip over the stones."
Gu Xin tilted her head, her big eyes filled with joy: "Oh, okay, Dad!"
Looking at his obedient daughter, Gu Shouxin felt very gratified. He must quickly get some money to feed her well. This child was too obedient, too well-behaved, and too pitiful.
He has never been worthy of such a wonderful daughter in his life. He will certainly not let down the opportunity God has given him to be reborn.
I didn't encounter anyone on my way home.
I hadn't been home long when it got completely dark.
Gu Xin lit the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to start a fire, intending to wash up with hot water.
Gu Shouxin couldn't bear to see Gu Xin working at all. He walked to the stove and said, "Xin Xin, go sit over there and play. I'll do it."
In his previous life, he was the all-powerful Ninth Prince, but before he entered the palace as a child, he also experienced life as a peasant and knew how to do things like farming.
After Gu Shouxin finished lighting the fire, he asked, "Xinxin, are you hungry? If you are, Daddy will cook you two eggs."
In his memory, during a slow winter like this, every household would eat two meals a day.
He used to eat three meals a day. Although he can handle eating two meals a day, I don't know if a child can handle it.
Gu Xin shook her head, her two already crooked buns swaying with her movement. "Dad, I'm not hungry. We've already eaten over a dozen eggs today, we can't eat anymore. There are no vegetables left at home. Tomorrow I'll go dig for wild vegetables, then help Fourth Uncle sweep the floor to earn a big cabbage. And then..."
Gu Shouxin felt sorry for Gu Xin looking at her like this, so he pulled her to his side and interrupted her, saying, "Xin Xin, rest well at home tomorrow. Dad will go to town and buy some steamed buns for you, okay?"
"Steamed buns?" Gu Xin frowned slightly, then stammered, "Dad, Xin Xin won't eat steamed buns, Xin Xin will eat wild vegetables. Dad, can you please stop gambling? I told you this afternoon."
Gu Shouxin was taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Dad doesn't gamble. Dad goes to work at the town's docks with Uncle. Xinxin knows that Uncle has been working at the town's docks lately, going in the morning and coming back in the afternoon."
Having served as the Ninth Prince for so many years, Gu Shouxin's heart had long been hardened like stone. But now, his little girl's understanding melted his heart, making him feel both sad and heartbroken.
He cursed the original owner a hundred times in his heart, but it still didn't quell his anger.
No wonder God took him away; he didn't even cherish such a good girl.
If you don't feel pain, I'll take care of you from now on!
