Gu Lili came in and closed the door behind her.
"Grandma, it's nothing serious, I just wanted to ask you for a favor."
Gu Lili slowly walked to the bedside and sat down with Grandma Li, holding Grandma Li's hand and smiling gently.
Grandma Li became even more curious. What could be so important that Gu Lili had to take it so seriously?
Immediately, Mrs. Li asked curiously, "What is it? Tell me, Grandma will definitely do it well, you can rest assured."
When she said this, Old Mrs. Li patted her chest confidently.
She knew that Gu Lili was going on a long trip to take care of important matters, so she naturally wanted to relieve her of any worries.
"Baiweixuan Restaurant has been doing very well lately, and with the house under construction, Yun Chu is bound to be overwhelmed. I'm thinking of having my uncle help cook the braised pork intestines and braised meat. We'll have them come over, and Chenxi will teach them how to cook them," Gu Lili said to Old Madam Li.
Grandma Li's eyes instantly reddened; Gu Lili's words deeply touched her.
This isn't about me helping Gu Lili; it's clearly Gu Lili helping me.
Even though Zuo Xiuhong did such a thing last time, Gu Lili is still willing to help them again.
“Lili, I…” Grandma Li choked up a little.
Of course, she wanted all her sons to have a good life. Seeing that her second and third sons had jobs, Old Mrs. Li was also worried about her eldest son.
However, no matter how worried and anxious she was, she never thought of asking Gu Lili for help again. After all, after what happened last time, Old Mrs. Li felt she had no face to mention it again.
Gu Lili covered Grandma Li's hand and said with a smile, "Grandma, then I'll take that as a yes. Tomorrow, go back and tell Uncle that he can come and learn from Chenxi whenever he has time."
Gu Lili knew what Old Mrs. Li wanted to say, but if she continued, Old Mrs. Li would definitely say something sentimental.
Gu Lili didn't want to see her grandmother cry.
In fact, Gu Lili had also considered simply getting rid of her uncle's family's affairs.
However, the original owner's memories would keep appearing in his mind from time to time.
At that time, Li Qingshan would often deliver things to Li Xihua on behalf of Old Mrs. Li.
Every time I come, I never forget to bring them some handmade trinkets.
It could be a grasshopper made of wheat straw, or a cricket cage made of bamboo.
The love they showed for their siblings was genuine and immeasurable.
After what happened last time, Zuo Xiuhong has finally learned her lesson.
Although she never visited Gu Lili's house again, she would occasionally hear her grandmother tell Gu Chenxi that the things she was wearing were bought by Gu Lili.
Gu Lili didn't mind helping them again. This time, she only asked them to help prepare some dishes for the restaurant. She would check everything before serving, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"Lili, thank you." Grandma Li grasped Gu Lili's hand and said solemnly.
Tomorrow, she will go home and tell Li Qingshan about this, and she will definitely give Zuo Xiuhong another good talking-to.
Gu Lili shook her head, told the two to rest early, and then left their room.
As soon as they reached the center of the courtyard, the little fox darted out of its den and ran to Gu Lili's feet, nuzzling affectionately against her dress.
She had given instructions to everyone at home, and now the only thing Gu Lili was worried about was Xiao Li'er.
Because it's become too affectionate, Gu Lili is worried that it might be targeted by someone with ill intentions.
However, it's not a good idea to keep it locked up.
"Little Fox, I'm being discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I'll have Uncle Facai deliver your food to you every day. Don't go up the mountain by yourself. Just stay home and watch the house with Big Black, okay?"
Gu Lili squatted down and gently stroked the little fox's head.
It's unclear whether it understood or not, but it kept rubbing against Gu Lili.
Perhaps they truly understood, and because they couldn't bear to part with it, that's why they acted this way.
Gu Lili thought to herself that she would definitely tell her family again tomorrow to make sure they kept a close eye on Xiao Li'er.
After playing with the little fox for a while, Gu Lili went back to her room.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the package that Lin Xiyao had given her.
For some reason, Gu Lili couldn't sleep, so she opened the package to see what Lin Xiyao had prepared for her.
The bundle was opened, revealing two sets of clothes.
Both sets were red, but when Gu Lili unfolded them, she found they were men's clothing.
Gu Lili almost burst out laughing; she knew Lin Xiyao's intention.
For girls traveling long distances, wearing men's clothing is more convenient.
It shared the same idea as Lin Xiyao, and they would set off tomorrow dressed in men's clothing.
However, this red color is far too eye-catching; it's unlikely that anyone other than the top scholar and the groom would wear such brightly colored clothes.
However, since this was Lin Xiyao's heartfelt gift, Gu Lili naturally accepted it.
When I was pulling out my clothes, something fell out of the bundle.
With a loud "bang," Gu Lili jumped in fright.
She looked down and saw that it was an exquisite dagger.
Gu Lili recognized the dagger; Lin Xiyao had once shown it off to her, saying it was a gift from her father.
The dagger is small but sharp. It is concealed in the sleeve and is not easily discovered. If you really encounter any danger, this dagger may save your life in a critical moment.
Gu Lili held the dagger in her palm as if it were a priceless treasure. Lin Xiyao's thoughtfulness deeply moved Gu Lili.
She immediately put the dagger into her spatial storage.
Since this was a gift from Lord Lin to Lin Xiyao, Gu Lili naturally had to keep it safe.
When I return, I will give it back to her in its entirety.
Gu Lili didn't really have much to pack; she could buy anything she wanted from her spatial storage.
However, to avoid attracting attention, it's still necessary to bring some.
Otherwise, there would be nothing to cover up, and it wouldn't be very convenient to buy things from the space.
After packing two bundles, Gu Lili went to bed.
Because she needed to get somewhere quickly, Gu Lili decided to eat breakfast and then set off.
Gu Lili thought she would toss and turn and have trouble falling asleep tonight.
After all, I'm going on a long trip and I'm worried about my family.
However, to her surprise, shortly after lying down on the bed, Gu Lili began to breathe evenly.
After a good night's sleep, Gu Lili woke up when the roosters crowed outside her window.
She took out a dark-colored dress she had bought in the space and changed into it. She then tied her hair up high and secured it with a sandalwood hairpin.
Looking at Gu Lili dressed as a man in the mirror, she did indeed resemble a frail young master.
Gu Lili's skin remained fair despite doing farm work because she took excellent sun protection measures.
When Gu Lili pushed open the door and went out, almost everyone in the Gu family was already up.
Gu Yanyu was reading in the courtyard when he looked up and saw Gu Lili, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
