Gu Lili agreed and walked outside.
"Erniu, steam the soaked rice in a bit. Did you see how I made it last time?"
Halfway there, Gu Lili turned back and gave Gu Erniu some instructions.
Gu Erniu nodded quickly and said, "Sister, I know what to do. You go quickly, don't keep Aunt Zhang waiting!"
Gu Lili glared at him irritably before walking out the door.
Erniu, that guy, really, he's way too impatient.
Ever since Gu Lili left, Gu Erniu felt like he was being fried in hot oil.
Fearing that her sister might bring back bad news, she almost forgot to add peach blossoms when steaming the rice.
If Gu Huanhuan hadn't reminded him, things would have really gone wrong!
Gu Erniu looked around anxiously, feeling that every minute and every second was incredibly slow.
He both wanted his sister to come back quickly and was afraid of her returning.
Gu Erniu paced back and forth in the yard while looking at the rice in the pot.
Seeing this, Gu Sigou asked with a grin, "Second Brother, are you plowing the field? Why are you walking back and forth like that!"
He had seen the oxen of the Sizhu family plow the fields; when they plowed the fields, their oxen walked back and forth like this!
It just so happens that my second brother's name is Erniu, hehehe, it really does sound like him!
Upon hearing Gu Sigou's mockery, Gu Erniu raised his hand and beckoned to Gu Sigou.
"You little brat, stop talking nonsense! Do you still dare to spout off now?!"
As Gu Erniu spoke, he tickled Gu Sigou's body.
Gu Sigou was weak and couldn't break free from Gu Erniu's grasp.
He kept laughing as Gu Erniu tickled him, and Gu Huanhuan and Li Ershu, who were next to him, laughed along with the two of them playing around.
Gu Sigou was so itchy he couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly begged for mercy, "Ouch, giggle, second brother, I won't say you're a cow anymore, please forgive me, I'll never say it again, hahaha..."
Just as the two brothers were having a good time, Gu Lili coughed at the door.
Upon hearing Gu Lili's voice, Gu Erniu immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu Lili.
Gu Lili had a stern face, without a trace of a smile.
Gu Erniu's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that Sister Dahua was unwilling.
Gu Erniu lowered his head and turned around to work at the stove.
She wanted to use this to cover up her sadness and prevent her sister from noticing.
Seeing this, Gu Lili couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked up to Gu Erniu and slapped him across the face.
"Alright! I'm not teasing you anymore, it's done!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
She originally intended to tease Gu Erniu, this silly boy, but she didn't expect him to be so fragile!
In order not to make him too sad, Gu Lili decided to tell him the good news!
Apart from Gu Lili and Gu Erniu, everyone else in the courtyard was kept in the dark about this.
Gu Lili thought that she should tell them when the engagement was about to take place, just in case something unexpected happened.
When Gu Erniu heard his sister say that, he was almost crying, but in an instant, he became visibly happy.
Gu Erniu picked up Gu Sigou beside him and spun him around in circles.
The other three people thought something had gone wrong with Gu Erniu.
Gu Sigou was dizzy from being spun around by Gu Erniu, and quickly shouted, "Second Brother, I already told you, you're not a cow anymore, stop messing with me!"
If I keep spinning like this, I'll definitely get sick of it!
Hearing Gu Sigou's pitiful barking, Gu Erniu finally put Gu Sigou down.
"Alright, Erniu, stop fooling around and get back to work. We'll go to Grandma's house in a few days to ask about the specific procedures!" Gu Lili said with a smile.
Gu Erniu nodded heavily and hurriedly ran to the stove to get to work.
The rice was almost cooked, so Gu Erniu took it down.
Fortunately, Gu Lili bought several large steamers when she made the candy last time; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to steam all this rice.
It was getting dark, so Li Ershu stopped painting, lit a torch, and helped Gu Lili and the others make rice wine.
After working busily for almost an hour, the group finally finished making the rice wine and put it in the plastic greenhouse.
Gu Huanhuan had already boiled a full pot of water, preparing for everyone to wash up before going to sleep.
In less than a month, the three of them have developed a good habit of taking care of personal hygiene with Gu Lili.
Although it was late, I still wiped myself down, washed my face and feet, and went to sleep.
Although Li Ershu had accumulated a lot of food, he felt embarrassed to go back to sleep when he saw the four children lining up to wash up.
The group quickly finished washing up and went to bed.
Because the tiles on Gu Lili's new house haven't been installed yet, Li Ershu has had to sleep in a shack with Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou for the next few days.
It's a bit cramped, but I can manage to sleep there.
Before Gu Lili could even lie down, she heard loud snoring coming from next door.
This voice is clearly different from Gu Erniu's; it must be Li Ershu without a doubt.
Gu Lili was speechless. She was so envious of those people who could fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. But the snoring was just too loud.
It was just like thunder!
What left Gu Lili speechless was that, not long after, Gu Erniu's snoring also drifted over.
One big and one small, it's quite rhythmic.
The noise kept Gu Lili from sleeping.
Looking at the even breathing sounds coming from beside her, Gu Lili decided to put on her clothes and go for a walk.
The moon is exceptionally round tonight. Gu Lili suddenly thought that every time the moon is full, there is a high tide.
Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well take a walk along the beach in Shanghai.
Farmers don't have electric lights and are reluctant to light candles, so Gu Lili isn't worried about encountering anyone.
So I simply bought a headlamp from my spatial storage and, by the moonlight, walked towards the beach.
Gu Lili isn't afraid of encountering wild animals or anything like that, since she has money and can buy weapons anytime.
Spring evenings are still a bit chilly, so Gu Lili started jogging.
Soon, Gu Lili arrived at the beach.
However, it wasn't the time for the tide to recede, so Gu Lili went down to search for a while and only managed to find some small clams.
After collecting for a while and selling a few dozen coins, Gu Lili felt a little tired and decided to head home.
When I got home, I scooped water from a bucket and washed my face and feet before going to sleep.
Perhaps because she had been up for more than an hour, Gu Lili fell asleep quickly, even though the next room was still snoring.
The next day, before Gu Lili even got out of bed, she heard the sound of chopping wood outside.
When Gu Lili got up, she saw that Li Ershu had already chopped a lot of firewood.
"Lili, did I disturb you?" Li Ershu asked somewhat apologetically when he saw Gu Lili come out.
Gu Lili shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, she heard a voice coming from outside the door.
