Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 191 Warm Trivia

A low voice flowed out of Gu Zhan's mouth. Gu Xinxin, who realized that she was in her father's arms, suddenly burst into tears.

This made Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi panic for a while. After a while, little Gu Xinxin stopped crying and reconciled with her parents.

The one-year-and-one-month-old child can already utter single syllables simply. Now she is hiding in her mother's arms, babbling non-stop.

Liu Xiaoxi, who had not seen her daughter for six days, felt sad as she held the child in her arms. She babbled with her daughter.

Liu Xiaoxi went back to her mother's house for a long time, but she didn't see her father Liu Jinshui, so she asked curiously, "Mom, where is my dad?"

"He had just left when you came in. He said he went to light the stove because he was worried that the house would be cold when you came back and the children would be frozen!"

"Why didn't we see it when we came in?"

"Maybe I went astray."

After a while, Wang Yuehong called her son Liu Jianguo to serve the meal. When Liu Xiaoxi heard this, he handed his daughter to Gu Zhan and hurried to the kitchen to help.

As soon as the meal was served, Liu Jinshui came in. Seeing his daughter and son-in-law, he smiled and said, "I just went to light the stove for you. When I saw your luggage, I guessed you were back."

"Thank you for your concern during this time."

Liu Jinshui waved his hand and said, "We're family, why bother talking about troubles? By the way, how did you two do on the exam? I heard from the villagers who came back from the exam yesterday that they didn't know how to answer many questions."

"It's okay, Dad." Liu Xiaoxi said with a smile, and Gu Zhan nodded in agreement.

Liu Jinshui felt relieved when he saw that his daughter and son-in-law were in good condition, unlike the educated youth in the village who looked like eggplants hit by frost after returning from the exam yesterday.

But he did not forget to remind his daughter and son-in-law: "If others ask about this during this period, you'd better be humble and don't make others uncomfortable."

Gu Zhan knew what his father-in-law meant. Since the results were not out yet, it was not appropriate to speak too confidently. He nodded and said, "We understand, Dad."

As she was speaking, Wang Yuehong brought in the last bowl of rice and called everyone, "Mom, Dad, sister, and brother-in-law, come eat."

"Okay." Liu Xiaoxi said.

After she finished speaking, she saw Wang Yuehong turned and left. She hurriedly pulled Wang Yuehong and said, "Sister-in-law, you and Jianguo should come over and have dinner too."

Wang Yuehong smiled and waved her hand, saying, "You guys eat first. Jianguo and I will wait for a while."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xiaoxi also realized that she and Gu Zhan had returned suddenly, and she was afraid that her sister-in-law's cooking was not enough. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, please quickly call Jianguo to come for dinner. You and I will go to the kitchen to help. Children of this age can't help but be hungry."

Wang Yuehong quickly refused, "How can that be possible? You've all worked so hard all the way back, you must be hungry."

"Sister-in-law, it's okay." Liu Xiaoxi said, and then hurried to the door of the main hall and called to his nephew in the kitchen: "Jianguo, come and eat quickly."

When Liu Jianguo heard his aunt calling him to eat, he forgot Wang Yuehong's instructions just now. He rushed out of the kitchen and ran to his aunt: "Aunt, let's go in and eat."

"Okay, you eat first, and your aunt will be in soon."

"Okay, auntie, hurry up then."

Wang Yuehong was helpless. She glanced at her parents-in-law's faces and saw that they looked normal, so she pulled Liu Xiaoxi to the kitchen.

Wang Yuehong had no idea how Liu Xiaoxi would perform today. Her parents, Huang Guihua and Liu Jinshui, were very satisfied. Their daughter had finally become smart in dealing with people.

In the kitchen, Liu Xiaoxi looked at the empty pot and knew that her guess was correct.

She hurriedly added firewood to the bathhouse, washed the pot and boiled water in one go.

Wang Yuehong is very efficient and the meal for the two of them was ready in about half an hour.

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi stayed at Liu's house until the afternoon before returning home. During this time, Liu Jinshui was watching the stove at Gu Zhan's house and adding firewood to the stove. Only when the room was warm did he come to call the couple home.

"Your father is afraid that your room will freeze his granddaughter. He has been nagging you these past few days that he will go back early to warm up your room when you return."

Liu Xiaoxi smiled, but felt a little sad in her heart: "Mom, thank my dad for me."

"Hey, kid, why are you so polite?"

Gu Zhan wrapped his daughter tightly and left the Liu family with Liu Xiaoxi.

After the couple left, they left behind a big bag.

Huang Guihua opened it and saw that in addition to egg cakes, biscuits, candies and the like, there was also snowflake cream and the most precious piece of neatly folded square cloth.

Huang Guihua opened it and took a look. The size was just right to make a set of clothes for her grandson.

Holding the cloth, she smiled and said to Liu Jinshui, "Xiaoxi is becoming more and more capable. Look at this cloth, it's just right for making clothes for Jianguo." Her face was full of pride as she spoke.

It is one thing for a daughter's family to be rich, but it is another thing for her to take the initiative to take care of her parents' family, especially when the son-in-law has no objection, which is even more rare.

Liu Jinshui also smiled. He took the cloth, glanced at it and said, "Well, Xiaoxi is thoughtful. Give it to my daughter-in-law."

"Hey, good."

As she spoke, Huang Guihua stood up swiftly, took out some food and a piece of cloth from her bag, and went into her daughter-in-law's room.

Wang Yuehong was sewing the soles of her son's shoes. When she saw her mother-in-law come in, she quickly stood up and said, "Mom, you're here. Come and sit down."

Liu Jianguo had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the food in Huang Guihua's hand. He ran over and said happily, "Grandma, is this the delicious food that my aunt bought?"

Huang Guihua tapped her grandson's forehead and said, "You clever little fellow."

As he spoke, he placed the food on the table and said, "This is the food Xiaoxi brought back. I took some for you."

Wang Yuehong's smile also became more sincere: "Xiaoxi is really something, there is no need to spend such money."

"Don't say that. This is a little gift from her. Oh, and this piece of cloth. She bought it especially for Jianguo to make clothes. I brought it to you."

Huang Guihua handed the cloth in her hand to Wang Yuehong.

Wang Yuehong took the cloth in surprise and said, "This...this..."

Seeing Wang Yuehong's joy, Huang Guihua also smiled and said, "Just keep it and make some clothes for Jianguo."

"Hey, good."

As soon as Gu Zhan entered the room and put his daughter on the kang, Zhao Weibing came in.

"How's it going?"

"Not bad. What about you?"

"From what you said, I think I'll do well in the next few subjects. I think if I'm lucky, I should have a chance."

"That's good!" Gu Zhan smiled.

As the topic of the college entrance examination passed, Gu Zhan started to get busy at the cattle farm again.

In addition to keeping an eye on the experimental cows, the physical condition of the remaining pregnant cows also needs to be monitored.

What he thought was that after the cows gave birth to calves after the new year and the calves were sold, he would have funds on hand and could continue to expand the scale of the cattle farm.
