Gu Zhengfeng had no idea what his daughter's background was. Maybe she was a fairy reincarnated. Otherwise, he really couldn't explain it.
He had never heard of a space within a sleeve that could be used for farming. His daughter said the space was also suitable, especially when he heard that there was a well. He became even more excited. He drank a mouthful of sweet well water and felt extremely comfortable.
"Alright, stop talking to me. Let me process this properly. I'm a grown man, and I'm still quite shocked by my daughter today."
Jiang Qiao took out two white steamed buns from her spatial storage and handed one to Gu Zhengfeng. "Dad, try this, it's delicious. It's not that I didn't want to tell you before, but this is a very serious matter, and I can't take the risk, especially since we've just recognized each other—"
Gu Zhengfeng could understand this. "Girl, so you took the things you gave to your grandfather and your uncle from here?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "There are some things inside. I don't know if they were left by the previous owner or how they got there, but some things were inside when I went in."
Gu Zhengfeng didn't care what was inside; as long as it didn't affect the child's health, everything else was negotiable.
Looking at the various delicacies his daughter brought out, this former young master of a landlord family finally got to enjoy himself. He hadn't eaten enough at his father-in-law's house. As a former soldier, he had a big appetite, and Aunt Song only served small plates of food. He was afraid that if he took too much, the others wouldn't get anything to eat.
Especially with rice, after eating two bowls, he felt embarrassed to ask for more. At this time, every family was struggling, and although his father-in-law had prepared enough food, he couldn't eat so much.
Gu Zhengfeng now wishes he could pack his daughter up and take her with him. With such a precious space around him, he could eat whatever he wanted.
Now that Jiang Qiao's space had been officially approved by her father, she discussed what to do next with Gu Zhengfeng while eating.
"Dad, there's meat and other stuff in the space. Let's buy some gifts later and mail them to Grandpa Zuo and Song Shutian. Should we also mail some to your brothers?"
Gu Zhengfeng nodded solemnly. "That makes sense. We used to send each other things, but they were mostly local specialties or things we liked to eat. This time it's different. I imagine their lives aren't much better over there. What else do you have? Tell me—"
Jiang Qiao reported on the food and clothing, and Gu Zhengfeng gave a wry smile, "You silly girl, you're not thinking of getting food from outside because we can't produce any, are you?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "That's just one reason. I'm worried about what to do if the drought continues. Food will eventually run out, and we don't know what the future holds. It's better to have more reserves than not."
Furthermore, I also wanted to provide some relief to the people in Gujia Village. After all, people are bound to be grateful for what others have done for them, and the older generation is still grateful for my grandfather's kindness, but the younger generation is different—”
Without Jiang Qiao needing to say anything further, Gu Zhengfeng already understood what the child was going to do.
While moved by the child's filial piety, he also had a worry: "Daughter, have you thought about where you, a little child, are going to get so much food? If you take it out all at once, won't people be suspicious?"
You need to think this through carefully, lest you make things worse. Your grandfather is already being well taken care of by your Uncle Jiang and the others; any better conditions might give those with ulterior motives something to criticize.
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Dad, I won't take it out now. I'll take it out when it's crucial. I've already thought it through. I'll say it's for my and Grandpa Qiao's food rations. I won't give you too much at once, as long as we don't starve to death. Is that okay?"
Gu Zhengfeng now realizes that he had underestimated his daughter before. Apart from being young, Qiao'er is more mature than most adults.
He smiled and nodded, "Okay, you handle it. Just remember, your safety is the most important thing."
The daughter had her own ideas, and Gu Zhengfeng felt that the child shouldn't be restricted too much. The girl knew what she was doing, so she simply sat on the ground and started studying the things Jiang Qiao had taken out, deciding which ones should be mailed to friends and brothers, and which ones were inappropriate and should be taken back by the child.
Gu Zhengfeng was calmly picking out things, which made Jiang Qiao admire her father's magnanimity. Most people would not be able to stand it, but her father is really amazing.
However, she was more curious about the fact that, according to what she knew before, her mother had married down to the Gu family, and she wondered if her father had felt any pressure when he married her mother.
After hearing his daughter's words, Gu Zhengfeng was both amused and exasperated. "You silly girl, how did you come up with this idea? Your mother wasn't exactly marrying down. Although your grandfather's family isn't as famous as your maternal grandfather's, everyone has their own way of life and ways of doing things. Your grandfather wasn't bad back then either, but he just didn't want to be in the limelight."
Jiang Qiao was even more puzzled. "Then why didn't they find more things from Grandpa's house back then?"
Then, as if she had just thought of something, she couldn't help but smile wryly, "Dad, if you really want to talk about it, my grandfather was the most low-key person—"
Gu Zhengfeng smiled and patted his daughter's head. "You know it in your heart. There are some things you're still too young to talk to about for now. When I go back on vacation, we'll meet up again. Some things need to be moved."
Since Gu Zhengfeng said so, what else could Jiang Qiao not understand? It meant that Gu Hanting was really amazing. He had hidden the things a long time ago, and he had hidden them quite well. Those who ransacked the house didn't find much of what they had found before.
"My grandfather was a man of great wisdom—"
Gu Zhengfeng actually thought so too, but he remained modest in front of his daughter.
"Just keep it to yourself. Hurry up and sew the package. Dad can't stay here too long. I have to get back. You and your Grandpa Qiao should be careful. If you want to go out for a walk, Dad has no objection. I definitely won't be able to get back for the New Year, so don't worry. Just don't miss school."
Gu Zhengfeng felt that it wasn't a bad thing for his daughter to travel far and wide, since she was different from other children. Seeing more and gaining more experience would be more conducive to her growth.
He now raises them in the same way his father did: the old man oversees important matters, while letting them make their own decisions on minor ones.
Sometimes, he felt that with a father like Gu Hanting, he and his brothers were quite fortunate, at least the old man hadn't restricted their nature.
After the father and son finished preparing, they headed straight to the post office with their belongings. However, this time they didn't send any food. According to their daughter, there was no rush, and they could manage for the time being. Sending some scarce items might be of some help to them.
After all the items were mailed out, the father and son got home quite late, but fortunately, neither of them was empty-handed.
