“Eldest Daughter, what kind of dregs of pepper do you have? It smells good! I’m drooling!” Gu Hui was cooking in the kitchen when she received the dregs of pepper from Gu Nianzhi. She sniffed it and smacked her lips.
“Big Sister, my father said that we can’t call us Eldest Daughter or Second Daughter when he wants to study in the future. You can call me Gu Nian or Nian Nian!” Gu Nian said.
“Ha, other than quarreling with me, I’ve never heard you talk to me for such a long time!” Gu Hui smiled.
Gu Nian ridiculed her in her heart and said naïvely, “Big Sis, we’re both granddaughters of Grandpa and Grandma. This Eldest Daughter won’t be my turn no matter what! You’re the Eldest Daughter, okay?”
Gu Hui choked.
“Nian Nian is right. If we were to line up, Xiao Hui, you’re really the big girl! Nian Nian is the second girl, Xin Xin is the third girl, and Xiao Si is the fourth girl! Hahaha, I’ll call Xiao Hui the big girl from now on!” Gu Shouren did not go to town today. He came in from the kitchen and happened to hear Gu Nian’s words. As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the fragrance. “Oh my, Nian Nian, is this the dregs of sea pepper that Xin Xin said was so delicious? It smells good. Oh no, I’m almost drooling.”
Gu Hui gloomily put the dregs of sea pepper back into the pot and placed it on the table.
Her father had gone too far. They had agreed not to call her Eldest Daughter in the past.
Gu Hui was the Gu family’s first grandchild. Back when the Zhang family had called her Eldest Daughter, she was already four years old when Grandfather Gu had named her Eldest Daughter. She had grown up and there were many older girls in the village, so she was determined not to be a “Da Ya”.
It had taken her several months to get her family to change this.
Well, now they had called her back.
“Uncle, it’s really delicious! Wait until we come back. I’ll bring you a jar when we get home. You guys can keep it for stir-frying! It can last for a long time. Even if you don’t stir-fry the meat, you can still stir-fry the cabbage and the like,” Gu Nian said.
“Nian Nian, let’s go!” Cai Xiaolian shouted from outside.
“Uncle, Eldest Daughter Sis, I’m leaving first!” Gu Nian smiled and greeted the eldest daughter and father before running out.
“You…” Gu Hui was furious.
This stupid girl was too much!
“Haha, now there are two more girls. Don’t call me the wrong one! Xiao Hui, from now on, Daddy will call you eldest girl and Nian Nian second girl. Yes, that’s how you can differentiate them!” Gu Shouren smiled when he saw his daughter’s slightly angry face.
“Dad, from now on, Fourth Uncle will give birth to the first daughter. Are you going to call her fourth son and eldest daughter? Your little daughter, Gu Si, are you going to call her eldest son and second daughter?” Gu Hui said crossly.
“Eh, you’re right. If your Fourth Uncle’s first daughter is also a daughter, then you really should call your fourth daughter ‘eldest daughter’!” Gu Shouren said seriously.
Gu Shouli, who had just walked in, was speechless.
I haven’t even met my partner yet, and you already know that my first child is a daughter?
…
“Nian Nian, what are you laughing at? Going to deliver the dishes, your face is all smiles!” Cai Xiaolian asked from the ox-cart.
“Mother, I’m laughing at Eldest Cousin Sister. I told her not to call me Da Ya, and she did. I told her that she was the eldest according to the ranking. Then Uncle came out and said that she was the eldest. Eldest Cousin Sister was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes at Uncle,” Gu Nian explained.
“Your Eldest Cousin Sister used to be called ‘Da Ya’, but after your grandfather named her, she was determined not to be the eldest because there were so many older girls in the village!” Knowing that Gu Nian had no memory, Cai Xiaolian told her about Gu Hui’s childhood..
