Chapter 240 It's All Yours
Dinner didn't take long and all the dishes were on the table an hour later.
After Gu Xiaoshan sat down, he looked at everyone expectantly.
The old lady was very considerate and took a bite of the food. She commented, "Well, your cooking skills are not as good as Xingzhou's, but they are still good. You should cook more in the future and try to make better dishes sooner. I, your mother, also want to eat more of your dishes."
It was the first time that Old Man Gu knew his son had this skill, and the taste was quite good. After a moment of surprise, he said:
"Come back more often. This is the first time your mother and I have eaten the food you cooked."
"Okay, don't find me annoying from now on. I'll come back and do it for you every day."
Gu Xiaoshan turned his gaze towards Yang Mumu. It was impossible for Yang Mumu to remain silent because of other things when it came to the food prepared by the elders. She ate the pickled cabbage and boiled fish, which surprisingly tasted really good. She said in a matter-of-fact manner:
"It's very delicious. It tastes like the boiled fish we have in Sichuan Province. It's delicious."
"If you like it, eat more. Dad will cook it for you often in the future."
Gu Xiaoshan was delighted and his eyes moved to Gu Xingzhou.
Gu Xingzhou's reaction was flat, with no expression on his face. He just nodded and said, "Okay."
Gu Xiaoshan became even happier, as it further confirmed his idea that his daughter-in-law was the perfect point for him to break through. It was because his daughter-in-law praised him that his son said that sentence, and this sentence was very good, and he was very satisfied.
"Eat more, pick up your chopsticks, taste everything, and drink more chicken soup. The old hen has been stewed for the whole afternoon, so it's very nutritious."
As he spoke, he stood up and enthusiastically served soup to everyone. Gu Xingzhou was reluctant to give him a bowl, so he took a clean bowl and filled it for him, leaving it to cool on the side.
Even if you ignore him, he can still do things and talk on his own. His shamelessness is comparable to the wall of the Great Wall.
After dinner, Gu Xingzhou played chess with the old man. Gu Xiaoshan called Yang Mumu into the house mysteriously. When Gu Xingzhou saw him, he also stood up and followed him in.
As soon as Gu Xiaoshan entered the room, he took out a cabinet from the cupboard and put it on the table. He dusted off the cabinet and opened it.
Chaoyang Mumu waved: "Mumu, come closer, come and have a look, these are all for you."
"Dad, what is this? Give me such a big box."
Yang Mumu walked over curiously and saw that inside the box were various antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as some exquisite utensils. They were all very beautiful and caught Yang Mumu's attention at first sight. He couldn't help but sit down next to the box and touch them.
The texture you feel with your hands is completely different from the feeling you get when you touch modern handicrafts.
She could not feel the kindness, warmth, and historical weight of the things before her.
But that didn't stop her from knowing that these were good things. The most important thing was that these colorful vases and bowls were really beautiful. She liked utensils with brighter colors.
She couldn't let go of the small and exquisite wine glass, "Dad, these things are so beautiful."
Gu Xiaoshan said with a smile:
"These were passed down to me by my grandfather. They are all precious antiques. Some are very old, and some are even from the Tang Dynasty. They are all things my grandfather collected. Each family divided some of them. This box is the one I got."
"I have never taken them out before, so I am passing them on to you now. However, you still have to keep them well hidden. These things cannot be shown outside now. When you have the chance to take them out in the future, you can take them out and admire them. I think they will be useful in the future."
Yang Mumu retracted his hand, stood up and waved his hand: "Dad, this is not good, these are all left to you by your great-grandfather, and now you give them all to us, we feel ashamed to accept them!"
"I will pass it on to you sooner or later. You may as well take it back now and keep it for yourself. If you don't want these things, they are useless to me. I, a rough man, can't appreciate them. They are useless now. It would be better to burn these calligraphy and paintings as kindling, and smash these bowls and plates with a hammer and use them as pads for the corners of the table."
Gu Xiaoshan said this arrogantly, and pretended to get matches and a hammer to do it, but judging from his posture, he really wasn't going to do it.
Oh, these treasures can’t be wasted like this, it’s so pleasing to the eyes if you keep them for yourself!
Yang Mumu was afraid that Mr. Gu would get angry, so she really took action and quickly pulled the man away.
"Hey, Dad, that's not necessary. It's better to keep these things than to burn or smash them. Keep them. But I can't just take these things like this. I have to ask Xingzhou for his opinion. After all, we are husband and wife. I can't hide such a big thing from him."
Gu Xingzhou came in and heard it. He walked over, closed the box and handed it to Mu Mu, "Mu Mu, take it. Don't let him be seduced by some little goblin in the future and give all his things to others to bully us."
"Dad is wrong." Gu Xiaoshan lowered his head sadly, "Xingzhou, Dad won't look for anyone else, don't worry, we will live a good life in the future!"
Gu Xingzhou felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Gu Xiaoshan like this. He turned his head to look elsewhere and said even more awkwardly, "Who knows!"
Yang Mumu tried to smooth things over, reached out to take the thing, and changed the subject, "Then I'll take it, Dad. I'll keep it well."
"Yes, take it, take it. You must take it. These are all passed on to you."
Gu Xiaoshan was depressed for a while but then he regrouped and continued to work hard to ease the relationship between father and son. He had already crossed the Yalu River, so he was afraid that he could not overcome this little setback.
He smiled again, took out a box from the bedside and handed it to Yang Mumu.
"Mumu, the things in here are for you too, keep them well, they will surely be useful."
Yang Mumu saw that the box was small, a biscuit box, so it shouldn't be something valuable, but it was a little heavy to hold.
When she opened the lid, oh my god, the light flashed in her eyes without her being prepared.
The box is full of gold, and neatly arranged small yellow croakers, there are estimated to be twenty or thirty pieces.
She looked at the things inside with shining eyes. Although she had a big box of big yellow croaker gold in her space, she had no small yellow croaker. No one could complain about having too much gold, especially the more gold in one's hands, the better.
Damn heartbeat!
"Dad, can you give me everything in here?"
Yang Mumu first looked up at Gu Xiaoshan and saw him nod.
"It's all yours."
