"Hahaha, you little worryer!" Gu Nian couldn't help but laugh.
The day after Gu Shouxin went to take the exam, Gu Xin went to the old house to chat with her grandparents, worried about Gu Shouxin's exam.
Grandpa comforted her, saying that the top scholar in the previous year was a bit older than her father, so maybe this year's top scholar would be her father.
Gu Xin firmly believed this, always thinking that their father would pass the exam.
...
When the two sisters returned to the kitchen of their new house, they found Cai Xiaolian still rolling out dough.
"You're all done? Here, I'll make you some late-night snacks," Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
"Mmm, delicious, Niannian, Xinxin, quickly wash your hands and sit down to try it!" Gu Shouxin slurped up a mouthful of noodles and then said.
"It's delicious! I'll try it. The seasoning Mom made the other day was wrong! I don't know what she put in it, it tasted weird." Gu Xin happily went to wash her hands.
"Ahem, well, I'm going to sleep now, Mom, please don't throw away too much noodles. I'll steam some buns tomorrow morning!" Gu Nian glanced at the steaming noodles in front of Gu Shouxin, then slipped away.
“Look, her dad, Niannian has been complaining about me a lot these past few days. But I’ve already adjusted the flavor, haven’t I? You agree, right?” Cai Xiaolian felt hurt and wanted to vent her grievances to Gu Shouxin, who appreciated her cooking skills.
“I’ll talk to him about it tomorrow! Mother, give me some more, it’s really delicious!” Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
Gu Xin obediently sat down, waiting for her mother to cook the noodles and ask her father about his exam results.
"Let's go to the prefectural city as a family in April!" Gu Shouxin didn't mention how well he did on the exam.
"Father, do you mean you can participate in the prefectural examination in April?" Gu Xin asked happily.
"Absolutely. The weather's getting warmer, and you've grown taller. I'll buy you a couple of new outfits in a few days!" Gu Shouxin said with a smile.
"Hmm, I've noticed that Niannian has grown taller these past few months. Now that spring is here, her clothes from last year are getting a bit too short in the sleeves. Let's go buy some when we have time!" Cai Xiaolian brought over the noodles and made herself a bowl as well.
“Sisi has grown taller too! Huihui and Sisi have money with Grandma, let’s invite them to go shopping together! And then we can buy one for Grandpa and Grandma,” Gu Xin said.
“Okay, after your dad rests for a couple of days, we’ll go to town to buy some. Last time I saw a nice shop in town, and when I talked to Xiaohuan about it, I found out it was the Zhou family’s shop. Apparently, Master Zhou had the shopkeeper go to Jiangnan and the capital every quarter to look at styles, and then make and sell them himself. Business is pretty good, even better than the clothing shops in the county town.” Cai Xiaolian finished speaking and lowered her head to eat her noodles.
At this moment, Gu Xin had already taken a bite and was about to finish chewing to continue the topic of clothes, but then she realized something was wrong.
The taste is exactly the same as it was yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that!
She blinked and looked at Gu Shouxin, who was eating happily. Oh no, did Dad lose his sense of taste because of the exam?
Cai Xiaolian also took a bite, but didn't think it was very good. She looked at Gu Shouxin and thought that she was probably just full and didn't want to eat anymore. But when she saw Gu Xin's confused little face, Cai Xiaolian knew that something was wrong. The taste must be the same as it was a couple of days ago.
"Eat!" Gu Shouxin said, looking at the mother and son.
"Dad, Mom, I'm suddenly feeling a bit tired and want to sleep. Can I eat it tomorrow morning?" Gu Xin said somewhat guiltily.
"Sigh! Go wash up and go to bed! If you can't eat, then forget it! Sigh!" Cai Xiaolian said helplessly.
Even though we used the same seasonings and cooked the noodles for the same time, why did they taste different?
