My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

The Gu family’s old residence.

Grandma Gu ate a piece of cake that had already cooled down. When she heard Cai Xiaolian’s explanation of the reason for her visit, she asked, “Is this the small business that you mentioned yesterday?”

“Yes, I guess so! However, that girl Nian Nian has also thought of something else. Mother, what do you think of this? A cake made from eggs. Nian Nian said that it’s called a cake.” Cai Xiaolian did not explain that that was not what she had mentioned yesterday.

“It melts in your mouth, and the aroma hits your nose. The smell of the eggs is gone, and the sweetness is just right. If it were me, I’d be willing to buy it,” Grandpa Gu said.

“Second Sister-in-Law, Nian Nian is really capable! I thought she only knew how to embroider and not do housework! This will definitely sell well,” Fourth Gu said.

“If Second Aunt goes to the town to sell things, I’ll accompany you! There are a lot of gangsters in the town, especially Second Uncle. He’s close to the gangsters. Who knows if they’ll pay or not!” Gu Hui was more direct and did not hesitate to undermine the original owner, Gu Shouxin.

Gu Xin wanted to say that her sister was also very good, but when she thought of how her eldest cousin sister usually beat up the boys who bullied her in the village, she did not say anything.

The people at the old residence said that they could sell it.

However, they were not sure about the price. After all, there was no such food in town. If the price was low, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort? If the price was high, they were afraid that they would not be able to sell it.

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Xin sat in the old house for a long time. It was already dark, and they did not get a reference price. They could only walk back with the straw.

When they went back, they saw an ox-cart at the door. The people in the cart were getting off. When they walked closer, they saw that it was Gu Shouxin.

“You’re back!”

“Dad, you’re back!”

The mother and daughter were a little surprised. Didn’t he say that he would be back in three days? At the earliest, he would arrive at noon the next day?

“Yes, I came back after I finished my business. Did you go to the old residence?” Gu Shouxin felt very warm in his heart when he saw his wife and daughter holding the hemp stalk.

In his previous life, he had dreamed that someone would be waiting for him when he returned home at night.

It wouldn’t be a servant, but the person closest to him.

Now that it had come true, although he wasn’t sure if the four of them were the closest people, he truly wanted to treat the three of them as the people closest to him.

“Yes, Nian Nian made some food and we brought it over. After chatting for a while, it was already dark. Oh, you bought something? Nian Nian, open the door!” Cai Xiaolian waved her hand, she saw that the empty bamboo basket on the cart was filled with bags of things.

“Yes, let’s talk inside. It’s cold outside.” Gu Shouxin nodded.

Gu Nian opened the door and helped carry the things into the basket. Gu Shouxin then drove the cart to the old house to return them.

By the time Gu Shouxin returned, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian had already lit three oil lamps in the central room. If Gu Xin hadn’t stopped them, they would have still wanted to light the lamps. Gu Shouxin had bought a whole bucket of oil.

“Dad, you haven’t eaten yet, right? We haven’t eaten either. Let’s eat first and then come back to look at the food. I’m a little hungry,” Gu Nian suggested.

“Okay, I’m going to wash my hands!” Gu Shouxin nodded.

Gu Nian went to the kitchen to prepare the rice.

She had ground all the rice she had previously eaten, and had also ground all the rice she had asked Fourth Gu to buy in the afternoon. Therefore, Gu Nian did not make any rice. Instead, she steamed the steamed buns with radish meat, made cucumber and egg soup, stir-fried shredded green pepper meat, and made a stir-fried cabbage.

There were a lot of steamed buns. Even if she did not know that Gu Shouxin was coming back tonight, there was enough to eat.

All three oil lamps were brought to the kitchen, which became four oil lamps, making the kitchen even brighter.
