He didn't want his other goose to be messed up by those two little rascals if he wasn't careful.
Gu Yanliu heard about this as soon as he returned.
She immediately hugged Xiaxia tightly, laughing heartily, "Grandpa, no wonder! I was wondering why your goose's rump feathers were bald! It was Xiaxia who did it!"
Xiaxia didn't understand what she was laughing at, but the sound of "goose" energized her, and she repeated, "Goose, goose, goose!"
Gu Yanliu laughed even harder.
The old man's face darkened as he watched the aunt and niece laughing together. "Still laughing! Pull it a couple more times, and my big fat goose will be bald."
Gu Yanliu's eyes darted around. "Grandpa, why don't you kill that goose? Our family hasn't had stewed goose in ages."
The old man rolled his eyes dramatically. "You wish! I'm keeping this goose to lay eggs."
You greedy girl, you're trying to steal my goose! Don't you have any money? Why don't you buy some meat?"
"Grandpa, what are you saying? Did I buy you less meat?"
I just think Xiaxia is too naughty.
"If we keep chasing the goose around all day, it'll get so thin." Gu Yanliu glanced at the big white goose in the corner, and in just a short while, she had already figured out how to cook it.
Hmm, stewed goose in an iron pot, that must taste quite... good.
"It's better to lose weight from running than to be eaten by you." The old man knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Let me tell you, don't even think about making a move on it. I'm really hoping it will lay eggs and hatch goslings!"
"Want goslings? That's easy! I'll go to town and buy you a few pairs. What's so difficult about that?" Gu Yanliu continued to coax him.
"Trading a gosling for my goose? Are you stupid or am I stupid?" The old man rolled his eyes at her.
I used to think she was a very honest girl, but now I realize I misjudged her!
He looked at his smiling granddaughter, his eyes darting around, and asked, "Fourth son, what kind of woman are you looking for? Do you have a plan in mind?"
"Looking for what?" Gu Yanliu didn't react for a moment.
"What else can I look for? I'll find a husband's family."
Let me tell you, you're not young anymore. You're at the perfect age to find a husband.
These past few days, several aunties have come to talk to me about this matter when I go out.
Why don't you tell me what kind of person you're looking for?
I'll also help take a look.
There's an old saying that goes, "If a family has a daughter, a hundred families will seek her."
His granddaughter is beautiful and hardworking. She has been running a tofu business for years and has saved up some money.
These days, whenever he takes Xiaxia out for a walk, quite a few older women come up to him and start a conversation.
They were all very attentive.
The implication was clear: he wanted to introduce her to his nephews or younger relatives.
After hearing this so many times, the old man began to have some thoughts about it.
So, let's sound her out today and see what kind of person she's looking for.
She's not young anymore, so it's time to put this matter on the agenda.
"Alright, Grandpa."
You don't need to worry about these things; I know what I'm doing.
You should just stay home and watch over your geese.
"Don't let your precious great-granddaughter pluck every last feather from your goose one day." Gu Yanliu changed the subject, quickly circling back to geese.
"Hey, you little brat, if I don't take care of you, who will?"
I'm just asking you first, not asking you to meet me right away.
What's the rush? Besides, you're already twenty.
Girls your age in the village are all engaged, and several have already married this year.
That flower, aren't you close to her?
"They'll be getting married soon, and then you'll be all single." The old man said with a hint of disappointment.
Why don't you even seem anxious?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about it." Gu Yanliu patted his shoulder and got up to go into the room.
Before leaving, he placed Xiaxia in his arms.
The old man knew perfectly well that this brat was afraid he would keep asking her questions!
That's why I left Xiaxia with him, to slow him down.
Gu Yanliu jogged into the room, and only after closing the door did a smile appear on her lips.
Gu Yanbai went to the city again.
I just got back, grabbed my clothes, and was planning to take a shower in the backyard.
He's gotten used to it now; if he goes on a long trip, the first thing he does when he gets back is to wash himself clean.
Otherwise, his wife and children would start to dislike him.
But as soon as he stepped inside, he immediately ran back out, asking, "Wife, what's locked up in the backyard?"
"Why don't you take another closer look? I think you'll recognize it." Su Nianxue raised an eyebrow and gave a mischievous smile.
"No, of course I know them. I'm asking whose idea it was?" Good heavens, two piglets suddenly appeared in their clean backyard.
You know, he went in humming a little tune.
Suddenly, two round, dark things rushed towards him, even humming and sniffing at his feet.
He didn't even see what it was before instinctively kicking it out.
Only after the thing flew away did he realize it was two piglets.
I wonder if that piglet was injured?
"Whose idea do you think it was?" Su Nianxue gestured towards the old man's room.
Isn't it obvious? In all these years, their family has never kept one of these things.
Understood!
Why didn't you stop them?
"Do you think I can stop him?" Su Nianxue rolled her eyes at him. She couldn't possibly stop the old man with his temper.
“That’s true, I can’t do anything about him, so you certainly can’t either.” He shouted loudly towards the old man’s room, “Old man, come out here.”
"What are you yelling for? Have you eaten too much?"
"You come back and start making a racket. Aren't you afraid of waking the child?" The old man muttered as he walked out of the house.
These words reminded him that his little girl was not someone to be trifled with; if he woke her up, she would cry for a long time!
He lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me, why did you start raising pigs again when everything was fine?"
Am I lacking your food or your drink?
"You're just so restless, aren't you? You have to keep doing all this unnecessary fuss?"
What does "messing around aimlessly" mean?
I'm free anyway, so it's just a side job.
Now that I'm not raising sheep anymore, wouldn't the tofu dregs be wasted?
I can use the money to raise two piglets, and then next year when it's all over, we can slaughter the New Year's pig. Wouldn't that be great?
The old man remained calm and composed, clearly having prepared this explanation well in advance.
Gu Yanbai, "You've thought of everything quite thoroughly!"
It's just slaughtering a pig for the New Year, right? Easy!
If you want to slaughter a pig for the New Year, just tell me, and I'll go buy you ten or eight.
"Kill one a day, from the beginning to the end of the year, let you have your fill."
"You worthless piece of trash."
What's so exciting about slaughtering pigs? I'm not a pervert.
Besides, buying so many pigs isn't free!
Don't think you're something special just because you have some money in your pocket now.
