Chapter 61: Good Days

“It’s just that in the past, Father didn’t do anything. Father said that men earn money outside and that women should do housework,” Gu Xin added.

“That was Father in the past. Now that the three of you have figured out how to eat, you also earn money. We all earn money and work together. This way, our family will be better and better. Xin Xin, do you understand what father means?” Gu Shouxin said patiently.

“Yes! I understand.” Gu Xin was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

“Then Xin Xin, go and rest!” Gu Shouxin patted Gu Xin on the head.

“Father, I want to find Grandfather.” Gu Xin didn’t want to rest. She didn’t have the habit of taking an afternoon nap.

“Yes, go!” Gu Shouxin didn’t stop her. The two elders in the old house were really good to their Xin Xin.

The early winter sun was warm, and it made Gu Xin squint her eyes comfortably.

It was such a good day!

“Xin Xin!” Grandpa Gu was tidying up the courtyard wall. Seeing Gu Xin jumping over, he stopped what he was doing and shouted.

The farmhouses in the Yu Zhou Prefecture were basically all surrounded by earth walls, especially in winter. The wild beasts in the mountains didn’t have anything to eat and would run down the mountain. Without a wall, it was very scary.

“Grandfather, just now, Father taught me a four-word word. It’s called second to none. In other words, it’s very powerful. It’s top-notch!” Gu Xin ran up to Grandfather Gu and gave him a thumbs up.

“Yes, that’s right. This is called an idiom. Your father knows a lot of it! Let him teach you more in the future,” Grandfather Gu said with a smile.

“Yes, yes. Grandfather, just now, after dinner, Father had to wash the dishes. I went to help, but Father told me that Mother and I lit the fire and Sister cooked. Father didn’t do anything, so he should wash the dishes. He said that the family must work together, so that their days will be better and better. Although I think Father is right, the uncles in the village don’t seem to wash the dishes. Grandfather, does my father wash the dishes?” Gu Xin asked hesitantly.

Grandfather Gu was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect his second son, who had always disappointed people, to say such words, and even have such an awareness.

“Xin Xin, your father is right. Your family will only get better if they work together. He was right to wash the dishes. Your family got up early in the morning and went to town. Everyone must be tired! No one is slacking off! Your father was resting while the three of you were cooking. So, after dinner, it’s your turn to rest. Your father is doing his work,” Grandpa Gu explained.

“I understand, Grandpa.” Gu Xin nodded thoughtfully. Then, her eyes lit up, “Grandpa, I didn’t have time to tell you when I came to return the car. Today, when we were selling cakes, I met two other grandfathers. One of them was Sixth Grandpa, who sold vases. He was the first to buy our cakes, and the other one was Sixth Uncle, who knew Sixth Grandpa…”

Gu Xin told Grandpa Gu everything that had happened that day. From her sparkling eyes, she could tell that she was very happy.

Grandma Gu stood at the door and listened for a long time.

After Gu Xin finished, Grandma Gu walked over and asked, “Your cake costs 100 yuan and 3 yuan. Is there really anyone who will buy it?”

“Yes. We made a total of 11 cakes. One cake was cut into 12 pieces, and then three pieces were diced for people to taste. Nine people only bought one piece, which was 35 cents. The others were all bought at the price of 100 yuan and 3 cents, which was a total of 4,315 cents. Grandpa, Grandma, how much more money do we have left from Dad’s gambling debts?” Gu Xin calculated the accounts for the two elders, then asked..
