Gu Yunxi curled the corners of his mouth and didn't want to talk about Lu Xiaohong anymore.

"Yunle, how are you doing with the cushion? Do you need help?"

Gu Yunxi suddenly thought that he could actually ask someone for help. Aunt Cao was in the village!

Ever since her family went to the capital, Gu Yunxi had only seen Widow Cao during the Chinese New Year when she and He Feng visited her at her home.

Widow Cao was just that kind of person. She didn't like to socialize with others and most of the time she stayed at home, living her own life behind closed doors.

However, before their family went to the capital, Wang Jiaozhen asked the new manager of the embroidery shop in the town to take care of Widow Cao.

Now that such a long time has passed, I wonder how Aunt Cao is doing?

Gu Yunle was stunned. Someone could help her. She immediately became happy and said loudly, "Sister, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

She thought that only she could make this cushion!

"Sister, who are you going to ask for help?" Gu Yunle shook his sore arms, looking expectant.

Gu Yunxi saw her like this and said with a smile, "What do you think, let Aunt Cao come?"

"Aunt Cao? That would be great!" Gu Yunle answered without any hesitation.

"We haven't seen Aunt Cao in the village for a few days since we came back. I don't know how she and Qiao'er are doing. Sister, let's go to Aunt Cao's house now to check it out."

Gu Yunle left as soon as he said he would, in a hurry, pulling Gu Yunxi out.

Gu Yunxi looked at his sister lovingly and shook his head, "Okay, but you wait for me first. It's rare for us to come back, and we can't go to Aunt Cao's house empty-handed."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi called He Dachun's wife, picked and chose in the warehouse at home, filled a basket of fruits and dried goods, and then went out with satisfaction.

Aunt Cao's home is on the edge of the village. To get there directly, you have to go through the village first.

Along the way, everyone who saw Gu Yunxi and her sister would greet them with a smile and be very enthusiastic.

Gu Yunxi also responded with a smile. There were many people whose names she couldn't remember, so she also called them aunt and uncle.

After a lot of effort, the two sisters finally reached Widow Cao's house.

It was quiet around Widow Cao's house, with no other houses around.

Gu Yunxi carried the basket, walked to the door, stood in front of the wooden door and shouted loudly: "Aunt Cao, Aunt, are you home?"

"Is anyone home? Qiaoer, are you home?" Gu Yunle also shouted.

Soon, Gu Yunxi looked through the gap in the wooden door and saw someone coming into the yard. It was Widow Cao.

"Yunxi! Yunle! It's really you. When did you come back?" Widow Cao looked surprised.

She opened the wooden door and welcomed Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle into the house while shouting, "Qiao'er, come out quickly, your sister-in-law Yunxi and sister Yunle are here."

A little girl quickly ran out of the house. When she saw Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle, she shyly ran back into the house, hid behind the door, and stole glances at them from time to time.

Widow Cao couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, and said, "Qiao'er was always talking about you guys before, but now she hides when she sees you guys."

Gu Yunxi smiled and handed over the basket.

"Aunt, we have been back for a few days. We came back because my father was sick. I have been busy taking care of him in the past few days, so I didn't have time to come to your house and sit down."

Gu Yunxi looked apologetic, which made Widow Cao even more embarrassed.

"Yunxi, we are already very happy that you came to see me and Qiao'er. Why did you bring so many things? It's so embarrassing!"

Widow Cao smiled and went to the kitchen to pour them some water.

Although the house was simple, Widow Cao kept all the household items in order and washed the dishes clean, which made Gu Yunxi feel very comfortable.

"Thank you, Auntie. Please take a seat first."

"Are aunt and Qiao'er doing well at home recently? Has the new owner of the embroidery shop in town taken good care of aunt?" Gu Yunxi asked.

Widow Cao smiled and nodded when she heard this: "Yes, of course I didn't take care of it. The new shopkeeper often leaves me some big orders."

"Now, with these, at least Qiao'er and I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Gu Yunxi heard her say this and nodded, "That's good, Auntie. I'm planning to open a new furniture store recently, and Yunle is helping me make cushions at home."

"Would you like to learn from Yunle and help me make some cushions?"

Gu Yunxi directly stated her purpose, and Widow Cao was stunned before she could react.

"Yunxi, what did you say just now? You want to open a furniture store? Who in our remote area would..." Widow Cao hurriedly persuaded.

Not to mention Xijiang Village, even in Jihu Town, there is no such furniture store, because ordinary people are simply unwilling to spend so much money to buy furniture in a store.

Rich families would simply cut down wood and hire carpenters to make furniture for them, without having to buy it from shops.

Yun Xi might not be aware of the situation here, so he said he wanted to open a furniture shop, which made Widow Cao worried.

If this shop really opens, I'm afraid there will be no business!

Gu Yunxi smiled and explained: "Aunt Cao, the furniture I want to open in the furniture shop will be different from traditional furniture!"

"I don't make the usual eight-immortal tables and cross-back chairs. I make sofas, soft reclining chairs, and specially customized furniture, etc."

Widow Cao was even more confused and asked, "What is sand? What is sand? What is this?"

I have never heard of this name and I don’t know what Gu Yunxi is talking about.

Gu Yunxi deliberately kept the topic a secret and said, "It's probably the same as the chairs in our house, used for sitting, but more comfortable."

"The cushions I asked Yunle to make are actually what you need to make sofas."

"How about it, Auntie, would you consider making some cushions for me if you have time?"

Gu Yunxi blinked and saw Qiao'er running out of the house. She hugged Widow Cao's arm, hid behind her and looked at Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi found it very funny. She stretched out her hand and said to Qiao'er, "Qiao'er, I am Sister-in-law Yunxi. Why don't you remember me?"

Qiao'er's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "Remember, Sister Yunxi!"

Seeing that she was so shy, Gu Yunle also became interested and wanted to tease her.

"Qiao'er only remembers Sister Yunxi, but not me? I'm Sister Yunle!"

Qiao'er opened her big grape-like eyes, looked at Gu Yunle, and called out obediently, "Sister Yunle."

"Oh, oh, our Qiao'er is so good!" The word "sister" made Gu Yunle so happy that the smile on her face never faded.

Widow Cao saw this and couldn't help but smile.
