However, for some reason, Old Mrs. Li was already in tears.
Perhaps it was a premonition, or perhaps it was a greater fear of hearing Gu Lili's answer as something other than what they wanted to hear.
After Grandma Li finished asking her question, all three siblings looked at Gu Lili.
Perhaps they share the same doubts.
Gu Lili is indeed very different from before. If she didn't still love them as much as before, they would have thought that Gu Lili was a fake.
Gu Lili took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.
“Grandma, I am indeed Gu Lili. However, I fainted from hunger last time and had many dreams. The place in my dreams was very different from where we live. I felt like I lived there for one or two decades and learned many skills. That’s why you think I’ve changed when I wake up,” Gu Lili said, emphasizing each word.
To be honest, Gu Lili was also in a daze at this moment.
I don't know if it's because I've gotten too used to life in Guzhuang, but it feels like my days in the modern world were just a dream.
Sometimes, I feel like my time in Guzhuang was a dream.
She simply couldn't tell which world was real.
It has a feeling of Zhuangzi dreaming of being a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of being Zhuangzi.
However, at this moment, deep down in Gu Lili's heart, the people of Guzhuang are the most important.
She felt that her younger siblings, her maternal grandparents, and even the mountains and the sea here were all very important to her.
In modern times, Gu Lili was raised by her grandmother.
Grandma passed away before she could enjoy her blessings; in that world, she was already considered an orphan.
To that world, one's own death is nothing more than news from a few days ago.
Occasionally, fans will reminisce about him, and then, gradually, he disappears from the world altogether...
Moreover, Old Mrs. Li will have to respond to this question sooner or later.
Even if Grandma Li doesn't ask now, her younger siblings will surely have doubts in the future.
They're young now, but they're not stupid. As they grow up, they'll definitely ask similar questions.
Today is a good day, as almost all my relatives are here, so I'll give this question a proper answer to avoid any trouble in the future.
After hearing what Gu Lili said, Grandma Li finally felt relieved.
Lili, who looks most like her own daughter, is indeed her biological granddaughter.
Grandma Li put down her rice bowl, hugged Lili tightly, and burst into tears.
Xihua, I'm so sorry! If I had realized sooner that you were out of food and supplies, how could you have starved to death like this!
You're such a fool! You've driven yourself to a dead end just to avoid making things difficult for others!
Thankfully, Lili is still the same Lili, thank goodness...
Seeing Grandma Li's face covered in tears, Gu Lili's heart ached terribly, and her eyes involuntarily reddened as well.
When the children saw the two crying, they couldn't help but cry along with them.
“Mother, don’t cry. Lili has just been made a village head, which is a happy occasion. If my elder sister and brother-in-law knew in the afterlife, they would surely be pleased!” Li Ershu comforted her.
Seeing the others crying, Li Ershu felt his own eyes welling up with tears.
However, I am a man, and I cannot easily shed tears.
Grandma Li quickly wiped her eyes, then smiled through her tears, "Yes, I'm such a forgetful old woman! It's just a happy occasion for Lili's family, how can I cry!"
They wiped away their tears and finished their breakfast.
Grandma Li came here today specifically to ask Gu Lili about this matter, and after she finished asking, she thought she would go home.
However, upon seeing the sweet potatoes in the yard, they stayed.
Gu Erniu had given them some sweet potatoes before, and they had already planted them.
Right now, there's not much farm work to do at home, so I decided to help my siblings plant sweet potatoes before going back.
Gu Lili originally thought she didn't need to, but she couldn't resist Old Madam Li's insistence, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Gu Lili's basket of sweet potatoes is just enough to plant one acre of land.
The six people, carrying tools and sweet potatoes on their backs, headed towards their new home.
These sweet potatoes need to be planted in the ground first, and when they sprout, the sweet potato seedlings can be cut off and propagated by cuttings. This can be done around the time of Lesser Heat (Xiaoshu).
Gu Lili and Grandma Li built a sweet potato trench, while Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou were responsible for burying the sweet potatoes in the ground.
Li Ershu and Gu Erniu were responsible for taking buckets to the stream to fetch water and water the harvested sweet potatoes.
The group worked together and finished planting all the sweet potatoes by noon.
Sure enough, it takes adults to do this kind of work; otherwise, the few of them alone are simply too weak.
After planting the sweet potatoes, the group went home to cook lunch.
Grandma Li didn't hesitate and stayed to have lunch before going back.
In less than half an hour, Gu Lili had prepared the meal and brought it out.
Gu Lili made hand-pulled noodles and stir-fried some pork offal with the leftover pork from yesterday.
Served with shallots and chili oil, it's incredibly tempting.
Perhaps because they were tired from working this morning, all six of them ate with extra relish.
Soon, the noodles that Gu Lili cooked were completely devoured by the group.
If everyone hadn't already burped, Gu Lili would have thought she hadn't cooked enough.
"Oh my! I'm so full! Lili's cooking is so delicious!" Li Ershu finished all the noodles in his bowl before he had time to praise Gu Lili.
This food is so much better than what my sister-in-law makes.
However, Li Ershu didn't dare to say it out loud, and only muttered it to himself. If he really said it out loud, his mother would definitely punish him first.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Second Uncle, it's delicious! You should come to my house to eat often, and I'll make it for you!"
Gu Lili loves cooking, especially when she's praised for how delicious her food is, which makes her feel wonderful.
Li Ershu nodded heavily, smiling foolishly.
After finishing their meal, the group chatted idly in the courtyard for a while.
Li Ershu looked at Gu Lili, and several times he seemed to want to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.
Seeing his expression, Gu Lili asked the question first.
"Second Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Lili asked.
Li Ershu gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision.
"Lili, can I borrow some candy from you to sell in town?" Li Ershu asked shyly.
As soon as he said this, Old Mrs. Li slapped Li Ershu on the head.
This child, he doesn't even tell me beforehand what he wants to do, or discuss it with me.
If you do that, others will really think you're here to freeload.
"I'm afraid this won't work!"
