Gu Shouxin took off the basket on Gu Xin’s back and carried it himself. “From now on, when Dad goes to the mountains to get firewood, go and say hello to your grandparents. Then we’ll go home.”
Gu Xin blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Shouxin for a few seconds before nodding obediently. “Okay!”
She rushed into the house and greeted her grandparents before running out quickly to follow Gu Shouxin.
She felt that she must have saved little fish today. Little Fish had become a dragon after leaping through the Dragon Gate, and she had saved the child of the Dragon King.
The heavens would never let such good parents and sisters go back to how they were in the past on account of her saving the child of the Dragon King.
She was not saying that her parents and sisters were not good in the past, but she liked the present better than the past.
Thinking that such good parents and her sister wouldn’t leave her, Gu Xin walked briskly.
Gu Shouxin reached out to hold his little daughter’s hand. “Walk slowly. Be careful not to trip on a rock.”
Gu Xin tilted her head, her big eyes filled with joy. “Oh, okay, Dad!”
Gu Shouxin looked at his obedient daughter and felt very gratified. He had to get some money quickly to feed his child. This child was too obedient and too heartbreaking.
What did he do to deserve such an obedient daughter in this life? He would definitely not let down the heavens that had given him this chance to be reborn.
He did not meet anyone on the way home.
He did not sit for long when the sky turned completely dark.
Gu Xin lit the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to light the fire. She planned to wash up with hot water.
Gu Shouxin could not bear to see Gu Xin work at all now. He walked to the kitchen door and said, “Xin Xin, Go sit by the side and play. I’ll do it.”
In his previous life, he was 9,000 years old and had the power to rule the world. However, before he entered the palace as a child, he had experienced the life of a farmer. He still knew how to do things in a farmer’s household.
Gu Shouxin lit the fire and asked, “Xin Xin, are you hungry? If you are, Daddy will boil two eggs for you to eat?”
In his memory, during a winter like this, every household would eat two meals.
But he used to eat three meals a day. Although he could take two meals, he did not know if a child could take it.
Gu Xin shook her head, the two bangs on her head, which were already crooked, shook as she shook her head. “Dad, I’m not hungry. Today, we’ve already eaten more than ten eggs. We can’t eat anymore. There’s no more vegetables at home. Tomorrow, I’ll go dig for wild vegetables and then help Fourth Uncle sweep the floor to earn a cabbage. Then…”
Gu Shouxin felt his heart ache when he saw Gu Xin like this. He pulled her to his side and interrupted her. “Tomorrow, Xin Xin will rest well at home. Dad will go to town and buy some buns for Xin Xin, okay?”
“Buns?” Gu Xin frowned slightly and stammered, “Father, if Xin Xin doesn’t eat buns, and Xin Xin will eat wild vegetables… Father, can you stop gambling? Father said so this afternoon.”
Gu Shouxin was stunned and then laughed involuntarily. He shook his head and said, “Father doesn’t gamble. Father and Uncle will go to the town pier to work together. Xin Xin knows that Uncle has been working at the town pier recently. He will go in the morning and come back in the afternoon.”
Gu Shouxin had been nine thousand years old for so many years. His heart had long been hardened like stone. At this moment, he was also melted by his young daughter’s words. His heart ached.
He cursed the original owner in his heart a hundred times but still couldn’t get rid of his hatred.
Such a person, no wonder the heavens wanted to take him in. Such a good daughter didn’t know how to feel heartache.
‘If you don’t feel pain, I’ll feel it in the future!’
