Chapter 37 The Ancestor is Sick



"Thank you!" Gao Miao took the sheep over, tied it under a tree, and then placed the lamb next to the ewe.

Mrs. Xie was happy when she saw the ewe had plenty of milk. She turned her head and looked at Gao Zhi on her back, "Jiaojiao, from today on, you can drink goat milk."

Gao Zhi grinned.

Xie was even happier.

"Our Jiaojiao has had a hard time these days. When she heard about drinking milk, she smiled."

Butler Yan and the other man were still standing in front of the stall.

Gao Miao came over and asked, "Butler, how much is this sheep?"

"Four hundred coins."

"Only four hundred coins?" Gao Miao was too unconvinced.

Steward Yan raised his hand to assure, "Master Gao, I dare not hide it from you, it is really four hundred coins."

Although he didn't spend much time with Gao Miao, he didn't dare treat Gao Miao as a child. At the same time, he also observed some of Gao Miao's character, so what he said in this matter was all true.

Gao Miao nodded and counted out four hundred coins to Butler Yan, "Thank you! Thank your master for me."

"You're welcome! Sir, give my master..." Steward Yan paused and smiled embarrassedly, "It's my duty!"

Gao Miao repeatedly requested that not a word of what happened that day be revealed to the public.

He must not let anyone know that he is Feng Xuanzi’s disciple.

Housekeeper Yan looked at Mrs. Xie and said, "Madam Gao, the people in our house especially like the braised meat you make. Please pack up the leftovers. I want them all."

This kind of braised meat is made from pig head and offal, so generally rich people would not eat it.

But because this braised pork was made by Gao Miao, Mr. Yan tried it and found it particularly delicious.

So, they would come to the Yan Mansion to buy a lot every day.

Basically, they come at this time every day and take whatever is left.

The Xie family felt embarrassed, always feeling that they bought the meat because of Gao Miao.

She told Gao Miao this, and Gao Miao told her to take it easy.

They do business with integrity, and if someone wants to buy, they will sell.

No one is forcing anyone!

Mrs. Xie sold all the remaining braised meat to housekeeper Yan, and then the mother and son packed up their stall.

They want to buy rice and flour today.

There are a lot of things.

They happened to meet Gao Shan again, so they put the things on the ox cart. Xie followed the ox cart back, and Gao Miao walked home leading the ewe.

On the way, Xie told her the purpose of buying the ewe.

Gao Shan smiled and said that they were thoughtful, and from time to time he teased Gao Zhi who had just woken up.

After Gao Acai suffered a serious illness, his vocal cords were injured and he could no longer speak.

You never hear him cursing, but you often hear him beating his family members until they cry.

However, their family no longer dared to cause trouble to Xie's mother and two children.

I really don’t dare this time!

One year later.

On a country road, a little girl in a pink dress held a candied haws high in her hand and trotted towards the vegetable garden not far away.

"Mom, have some candy..."

Mrs. Xie was chopping mustard greens. When she heard the child's voice, she quickly straightened up, dropped the knife in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked towards the child.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, run slower, don't fall."

Gao Zhi grinned and shook the candied haws in his hand, "Mom, Gao Miao bought this for you to eat."

Gao Zhi is only one year and a few months old, and his speech is not very clear and is rather concise.

But everyone in my family can understand it.

However, the little guy runs very fast, his arms are very strong, and he is full of energy, which does not seem like a child over one year old.

Other people’s children only start to learn to walk when they are one year old or older.

But Gaozhi could walk at eight months old. She didn't practice crawling and didn't need to hold on to anything. She just walked.

Can walk at eight months and run at ten months.

The old ancestor often said with a smile that this child is indeed extraordinary! Even as a child, Gao Zhi is the most powerful!

Gao Zhi’s most amazing thing is not these, but her sweet mouth and sweet smile.

In Lao Zhuang Village, Gao Zhi is the darling of the whole village. No matter who goes to the town, they will bring her some snacks when they come back.

Mrs. Xie sewed a small cloth bag for her to carry, which was specially used to carry snacks.

However, this child has a very strange habit. She never calls Gao Miao brother, but just calls him Gao Miao.

At first Gao Miao was very depressed, especially when he heard Gao Zhi calling Gao Yunting brother, he became even more unhappy.

But no matter how he coaxed her, Gao Zhi refused to change her name and just called herself Gao Miao.

After a long time, Gao Miao resigned himself to his fate and gave up.

Xie bent down and picked up Jiaojiao. Gao Zhi put the candied haws to her mouth and said, "Mother, eat!"

Xie smiled and shook her head.

"Mom doesn't like to eat this, let Jiaojiao eat it."

Gao Zhi shook his head, "No, no! Mommy doesn't want to eat it, Jiaojiao doesn't want to eat it!"

The little guy is acting coquettishly and naughty.

This move was completely irresistible to Xie.

"Okay, okay! Mom will eat it, but Mom will only eat one." Xie took a bite of a candied haws.

Gao Zhi smiled happily, looking at Xie with curved eyebrows.

"Mom, is it delicious?"

Xie nodded.

Gao Zhi then started eating.

Things from ancient times are particularly pure, natural and pollution-free. Having lived here for more than a year, Gao Zhi particularly likes the food here.

She is now looking forward to growing faster and faster so that she can eat all kinds of delicious food when she grows up.

She is still young and can only think about many things.

Gao Zhi looked at the mustard greens on the ground.

"Mom, let me go!"

Xie put her down.

Gao Zhi finished eating the rest of the candied haws, then went over and put the mustard greens on the ground one by one into the winnowing basket.

These have to be picked home to make pickled mustard greens.

Xie’s preserved vegetable meat pie is very famous in the town. It has been sold for more than a year, and people in the town have never gotten tired of it.

Every day many people line up to buy.

Xie didn't know that it was because Gao Zhi secretly put a drop of spiritual spring water into the water tank every day.

The food made in this way will have a more or less different taste.

Xie looked back and felt distressed.

"Jiaojiao, I don't need your help. Mom will tell me later. Can you sit over there and play?"

Gao Zhi shook his head, "No! Help me, good boy."

Xie burst out laughing.

Listening to Gao Zhi's baby voice, I felt happy and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay! Then rest when you are tired, otherwise mother will be distressed."

"good!"

The mother and daughter were busy in the vegetable garden.

Suddenly, Gao Yunting came running over breathlessly, "Auntie, the old ancestor is sick, my grandfather asked me to come and see you."

Xie quickly threw away the knife, picked up Gao Zhi, and ran towards her ancestor's house.

Gao Yunting was left far behind.

Keep chasing after me...

Auntie is holding Jiaojiao, how come her legs and feet are moving so fast?

During this year and more, the old ancestor fell ill several times. Each time, Xie would carry Gao Zhi over and place Gao Zhi next to the old ancestor, and then everyone would leave the room.

Every time, the ancestor would get better quickly.

Both families understood it tacitly.

Everyone believed that the ancestor was blessed by being born into a high-ranking family.

But this cannot be said!

So, when the ancestor fell ill this time, Gao Ronghua immediately asked Gao Yunting to find Xie.

As long as they said the ancestor was sick, Xie would know what to do.

This time, it's the same as before.

After entering the old ancestor's room, Xie put down Gao Zhi.

Everyone else walked out tacitly.

Gao Ronghua touched Gao Zhi's head and said, "Jiaojiao, I leave it to you."
