Gu Lili changed into a green dress and pushed open the door to go out and wash up.
As soon as Gu Lili opened the door, Xiao Li'er excitedly pounced on her.
Just as Gu Lili quickly covered herself with her hands, Xiao Li'er, who had only pounced halfway, seemed to realize that her weight was different from usual and abruptly stopped.
It stopped right at Gu Lili's feet. It knew that if it really pounced on her like that, Gu Lili's small body definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Gu Lili didn't feel the impact of Xiao Li'er's pounce for a long time. When she looked down, she saw Xiao Li'er happily looking at her at her feet.
Looking at the sensible little fox, Gu Lili couldn't help but vigorously rub the little fox's head with her hands.
The little fox was humming happily.
This guy, probably afraid of disturbing his sweet dreams, kept lying next to Big Black and staring at Gu Lili's door.
He was just waiting for Gu Lili to come out so he could run over and get intimate with her.
As soon as Gu Chenxi came out of the kitchen, she saw that Gu Lili had already gotten up, so she quickly greeted Gu Lili.
"Girl, you're up. I'll fetch some water for you to wash your face. The rice is warming in the pot. After you've washed up, I'll bring you some rice to eat."
Gu Lili was also hungry. She vigorously rubbed Xiao Li'er's head and then stood up to wash up.
After washing up, Gu Lili went to the kitchen.
When they arrived at the kitchen, they found that Gu Chenxi had already served breakfast.
"Girl, come and eat," Gu Chenxi said with a smile.
Gu Lili nodded and quickly walked to the dining table.
Today's breakfast consisted of foods that Gu Lili likes.
A bowl of sweet potato porridge, a plate of fried dumplings, and a dish of refreshing cold seaweed salad made for a very pleasant meal.
Looking at the sizzling fried dumplings, Gu Lili felt a pang of emotion.
When Gu Chenxi first arrived at the Gu family, she was reluctant to use oil and salt.
Now, I should have adapted to a family-oriented life.
Gu Lili sat down, and Gu Chenxi followed suit, intending to eat and chat with her.
"Chenxi, this sweet potato porridge is so sweet!"
After finishing a mouthful of sweet potato porridge, Gu Lili couldn't help but give Gu Chenxi a thumbs up.
The rice in the sweet potato porridge was cooked until it was soft and mushy. Gu Lili didn't even need to think about it; she knew that Gu Chenxi must have started cooking it before dawn.
When Gu Chenxi heard Gu Lili praise her, her eyes crinkled with laughter, "I'm glad you like it, Miss!"
Looking at Gu Chenxi, Gu Lili thought of her third uncle.
She took a bite of a fried dumpling, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously, "Chenxi, I've done the math for you. Your monthly salary is enough to buy your freedom. When are you going to let me start calling you 'Auntie'?"
Gu Lili guessed that she must have gone back to Li Family Village since she didn't see Old Mrs. Li this morning.
They must have discussed with their grandfather when to go to Jiangdu.
I reckon that once the elderly couple went to Jiangdu, the matter between those two will be settled.
Next up are Gu Chenxi and Li Tiansheng.
Li Tiansheng is already eighteen years old, and Gu Chenxi has also come of age.
It was time for her to get married, and although Gu Lili was reluctant to part with such a good helper, she didn't dare to delay her third uncle's marriage.
Gu Chenxi blushed instantly when Gu Lili teased her like that.
If it were before, she would have covered her face and run away.
Today, Gu Chenxi didn't run away. She looked at Gu Lili with a blush on her face and said seriously, "I've discussed it with Brother Tiansheng. We'll get married after he builds the new house. So, girl, I still want to earn more dowry money in the Gu family for now. Don't even think about kicking me out!"
Gu Lili listened to Gu Chenxi's joke and felt genuinely happy for Gu Chenxi.
Judging from her appearance, she has completely emerged from the shadows of her life.
"Alright, alright, earn more dowry money, preferably for several years, so my third uncle will cry with worry!" Gu Lili covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Chenxi was also amused by Gu Lili's words and covered her mouth to chuckle.
The two were chatting happily when they heard Li Tiansheng's voice coming from outside.
"Lili, you can't do this! If Chenxi takes a few more years to earn her dowry, I'll be more than just anxious and crying!"
The two looked towards the door following the sound of the voice and saw Li Tiansheng standing at the kitchen door with a happy expression.
As soon as Gu Chenxi saw Li Tiansheng, her face turned red. She glared at him and then ran out.
As she ran, Gu Chenxi couldn't help but mutter to herself.
That guy Li Tiansheng was eavesdropping on their conversation!
I don't even know if they heard what I said. It's so embarrassing.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Gu Chenxi stepped out of the kitchen, she bumped into Old Mrs. Li, Old Mr. Li, and Zuo Xiuhong.
If her words were overheard by the others, she would want to find a crack in the ground to bury her head in.
Fortunately, the three of them looked normal. When they saw Gu Chenxi come out, Grandma Li pulled Gu Chenxi aside and asked, "Chenxi, where is Lili?"
Grandma Li and the other two came in a little later, so they didn't hear anything.
They didn't even hear what Li Tiansheng said.
"Auntie, Uncle, Sister-in-law, Lili is in the kitchen. You can go in and rest. I... I'll go out for a bit." Gu Chenxi hurriedly said goodbye and ran outside.
Grandma Li was a little curious as to why Gu Chenxi had acted so rashly this morning.
However, judging from the amused expression on his third son's face, he guessed that the kid had said something nonsense.
Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but glare fiercely at Li Tiansheng.
Li Tiansheng was somewhat confused, as he felt he had only spoken the truth.
Why did Gu Chenxi and Old Mrs. Li glare at me?
Li Ershu's matter was urgent, so Old Mrs. Li led Old Mr. Li and Zuo Xiuhong into the kitchen.
Today, just as dawn was breaking, Old Mrs. Li asked Li Tiansheng to take her back to Li Family Village.
When he got back, he told Old Man Li about Li Ershu and Liu Miaoyin.
After discussing it, the two decided to go to Jiangdu soon to see Liu Ying.
So, they came to the Gu family today for two reasons. Firstly, they hadn't seen Gu Lili for a long time and wanted to come and see her. Secondly, they wanted to ask Gu Lili about Liu Ying's personality and preferences.
That way, if they go, they won't offend their future in-laws and ruin their son's marriage.
When the three of them came in, Gu Lili had just finished eating breakfast.
Seeing the three of them enter, Gu Lili stood up and greeted them.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, you've come!"
When Zuo Xiuhong saw Gu Lili smiling at her, she felt a little embarrassed.
She hasn't visited the Gu family since the last incident.
She was afraid of upsetting Gu Lili, but Gu Lili had been away from home for more than a month, and she wanted to come and see her.
After all, Gu Lili not only didn't hold a grudge against him, but also asked him and Li Qingshan to help with braised meat and making spicy blood curd.
