I'm not too busy these days, so it's about time to send the two of them to school.
"Dahua, is something wrong?" Gu Lili asked with a smile.
Zhang Dahua then remembered what her mother had told her, and quickly handed the dice in her hand to Gu Lili.
“Sister Lili, my father and I have been bored these past few days, so we made two sieves for you. Try them out and see if they’re handy,” Zhang Dahua said with a smile.
Gu Lili looked at the sieve in Zhang Dahua's hands. It was woven very well, and every connection was handled very well. There was no need to worry about cutting your hand. It was clear that the person who wove the sieve had put a lot of effort into it.
Gu Lili quickly stood up and said, "I can't accept this."
As she spoke, Gu Lili took out her money pouch, preparing to give money to Da Hua.
After seeing Gu Lili's actions, Da Hua retreated repeatedly.
"Sister Lili, what are you doing? If you give us money, we won't dare to help you in the future," Zhang Dahua said jokingly, waving her hand.
Gu Lili paused her actions, then turned and went back into the shack.
When they came out again, they were holding three hairpins that were the same style as those worn by the siblings.
Gu Lili smiled and handed the hairpin to Da Hua, saying, "Da Hua, I won't give you money for the dice, but you should accept the hairpin I gave you. Otherwise, I won't ask you to give us anything in the future!"
Although Zhang Dahua didn't mention their hairpins when she came in, the sharp-eyed girl had already noticed that Dahua had glanced at the top of Gu Huanhuan's head several times.
Da Hua is at the perfect age to appreciate beauty, and Gu Lili had already accurately captured the envy in her eyes.
Zhang Dahua waved her hand somewhat awkwardly and said, "Sister Lili, my dice aren't worth much, how can I exchange them for such a beautiful hairpin!"
Although the hairpin in Gu Lili's hand was made of wood, the flowers carved on it were incredibly lifelike, as Zhang Dahua, who had worked in the town, knew. It must be quite expensive.
How could I possibly accept it! If I did, my mother would definitely scold me when I got home.
"It's not expensive. If it were, I wouldn't be willing to buy so many. Just take them. If you don't want them, you can take the sieve back with you!" Gu Lili said with a deliberately stern face.
Gu Lili bought the hairpin herself from the trading system for ten coins, which wasn't expensive for her.
Zhang Dahua was in a dilemma. He wouldn't accept the hairpin, and Gu Lili didn't want his family's sieve.
After accepting the hairpin, she felt embarrassed to take advantage of Gu Lili.
Seeing the troubled look on her face, Gu Lili handed the hairpin to Zhang Dahua without saying a word.
"Dahua, just take it, it's nothing!" Gu Lili said.
“Yes, Sister Da Hua, take it. Look how beautiful it looks on my third sister. It will definitely look good on you too!” Gu Si Gou chimed in from the side.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Erniu both blushed as they looked at Zhang Dahua and nodded in agreement.
Gu Lili looked at Erniu's face, which was flushed red, and felt a little strange.
Si Gou was talking about Huan Huan, not him, so why is he blushing?
Just as Gu Lili was about to ask Erniu what was going on, Zhang Dahua said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sister Lili, I'll take the hairpin. Could you help me comb my hair too?"
Zhang Dahua looked at the playful Gu Huanhuan in front of her and felt very envious.
I wonder if I would look just as good if I styled my hair like Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Why not? Come, sit here, I'll comb your hair!"
Zhang Dahua smiled and sat down in front of Gu Lili. Gu Lili moved her hand in her sleeve, and a pink hair ribbon appeared in her hand.
The three of them were not surprised by the sudden appearance of the hairband.
Zhang Dahua didn't see Gu Lili because she was in front of her.
Gu Lili styled Zhang Dahua's hair in the same way as Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Erniu watched Gu Lili comb Zhang Dahua's hair without blinking. When Zhang Dahua looked up, Gu Erniu quickly turned his head away.
Zhang Dahua's face turned red for no apparent reason.
Gu Lili quickly finished combing her hair.
Gu Huanhuan held the small mirror in front of Zhang Dahua. Zhang Dahua looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Huanhuan, who is this! You're so pretty!"
The onlookers couldn't help but laugh, and Zhang Dahua then realized that the person in the mirror was actually herself.
"Wow! Sister Lili, your hair looks so good! I didn't even recognize myself!" Zhang Dahua exclaimed.
Gu Lili laughed and said, "Dahua, you were born beautiful!"
Everyone else nodded in agreement. Although Zhang Dahua had a loud voice and a carefree personality, she was still very much in agreement.
However, she was also a beauty, with almond-shaped eyes and a high nose.
I believe that within a year or two, many people will be coming to Aunt Zhang's house to propose marriage.
Zhang Dahua blushed with pride after being praised and said, "I'll go home and show it to my mom, hehehe."
As Zhang Dahua spoke, she turned and ran towards her home, making Gu Lili laugh.
When Gu Lili turned around, she was surprised to find Gu Erniu staring at Zhang Dahua's back with a silly smile. Gu Lili's heart tightened.
Could this kid have fallen for Zhang Dahua?
Gu Erniu is almost thirteen, but he's still a bit too young.
Were children in ancient times all so precocious?
However, it seems that this is the norm; it's very common for people to get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen and then get married after their coming-of-age ceremony.
If my younger brother really takes a liking to Zhang Dahua, then I'll have to hurry up and help him make arrangements.
Otherwise, such a wonderful girl would definitely be snatched away by someone else in no time.
However, it all depends on Zhang Dahua's opinion.
If she has no feelings for Gu Erniu, then there's nothing that can be done.
Let's find some time to ask Gu Erniu first.
"Second brother! What are you grinning about!" Gu Sigou saw his second brother grinning foolishly and quietly approached Gu Erniu and called out.
Gu Erniu was startled, as if Gu Sigou had seen through his inner thoughts.
He awkwardly chased after Gu Sigou all over the yard.
"Hey, sister, you need to do something about second brother! Hahaha..." Gu Sigou laughed loudly as he ran.
Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan couldn't help but burst into laughter as they watched the two bickering.
The laughter from the courtyard carried outside and reached the ears of Gu Jingsheng, who was passing by.
The laughter of the four men sounded extremely grating to his ears at that moment.
He never imagined that the four bastards he considered were living such a happy life.
He glanced at the brick house under construction behind him, his teeth itching with hatred.
He is now filled with resentment, resentful that Old Madam Gu instigated the division of the family property.
I resent those four bastards even more; now that they have money, they don't even respect their own grandfather.
