Chapter 151: Being favored by the old men

"You are most welcome!" Gu Xihao was happy from the inside out. Although he seemed to not care after the unfilial incident, he was actually in great pain. The deepest hurt in the world comes from relatives. He really didn't expect his mother to say these words. After this incident, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness without the elders at home to rely on. Gu Teng's arrival made his floating heart feel happy to have found a place to land. He ordered Mo Ran, who was following closely beside him, "Hurry up and arrange rooms for the ancestors."

"Mo Ran, clean up Lingxiao Courtyard, Lanyuan Courtyard, and Chaohui Courtyard. The three ancestors will live in those three courtyards, which are close to us, hehe." Gu Xixian said with a smile. The guest house is too far away, not because of the distance, but because of the relationship. No matter whether the elders of Xiaoyuewan Village come or not, they can't stay for a long time, and she wants to take care of these people in their old age. People are all made of flesh and blood, and only those who love know.

"Okay, okay!" Gu Teng laughed. He had never thought that one day he would feel a sense of security in his younger generation.

Gu Xu and Gu Yi were also very happy. If possible, who wouldn't want to have children and grandchildren around them? Besides, the young master needed someone at this time, so as elders, they should be there for him and be his support. Moreover, there was no rule that said they had to stay in a certain place after retirement.

After arranging the three ancestors, Gu Xixian and Gu Xihao, brother and sister, personally cooked a large table of dishes. Representatives of the eight major cuisines were all served: West Lake vinegar fish, chopped pepper fish head, fried fish and oysters, hairy tofu, crab meat lion head, honey barbecued pork, twice-cooked pork, lotus root chicken slices, etc., plus preserved egg tofu, cabbage and sweet potato vermicelli soup. The table was full, which stunned the ancestors and Gu Shaoye and his son.

Gu Di swallowed his saliva and said, "Your cook is such a treasure."

While serving them the dishes, Gu Xixian proudly said, "This has nothing to do with our cook. My brother and I made all this ourselves."

"You two did all this? No one else did it?" Gu Yi was a little bit unbelievable.

"Not really. Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and lighting fires are all done by the cooks." Gu Xixian paused and replied. This could also be considered as relying on other people's hands.

"I'm talking about the dishes. Did you two cook these dishes?" Gu Xu asked.

The brother and sister nodded, and Gu Xihao said a little embarrassedly: "We were originally planning to order takeout, oh, that is, order dishes from the restaurant outside. But after thinking about it, it is better to do it ourselves to show our sincerity. Dear elders, please try it. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me."

The two children's thoughtful thoughts made everyone present feel warm in their hearts. Gu Teng picked up the chopsticks and looked at the dishes, each with its own characteristics. He actually felt at a loss as to which one to eat first. In the end, he picked up the West Lake Vinegar Fish.

"Yeah, it's just the right amount of sweet and sour, fresh and tasty, delicious!" He said as he stretched out his left hand and raised the thumb.

When the others saw this, they were not willing to be left behind and picked up the ones they liked and put them into their mouths.

“Delicious, all delicious, each with its own characteristics, and all taste great.”

This is the overall review after the meal.

"I didn't expect you two had this skill. If I had known, I would have come here to eat every day. I have missed so many delicious meals." Gudi slumped in the chair. He was full.

Gu Xixian poured him a glass of red fruit water and said with a smile: "Uncle Di likes to eat those dishes. I'll write down the recipe for you."

It’s okay to give her the recipe, but asking her to make it every day is not okay. She actually doesn’t like the smell of cooking fumes.

"No need for the recipe. Two or three times a month will satisfy me." Gudi is not a greedy person.

"That's no problem." This frequency was still acceptable. But he silently decided to train the cook at home.

In this way, the three old men settled down at home, plus an old land. Anyway, he was still a bachelor, so it didn't matter where he lived. He could live with the little girl and her brother and sister, and get free food. Why not? The servants who served the old men in the suburbs of Beijing were also called over, and the family became lively all of a sudden.

People say that a home with children is a lively place, but in fact, a home with old people is also lively. Old and young, old and young, the backyard has recently become the world of the three of them. No space is left unfilled, and all kinds of flowers have been planted, some just sprouting, some in bud, some half-blooming, and some in full bloom... In just half a month, the lonely backyard has become a sea of ​​flowers, which makes Gu Xixian love it so much.

The old men also built a big swing for her between the trees in the backyard. The swing rope was unique. It was reinforced with vines covered with trumpet creepers. Sitting on it, she was like a flower fairy.

After trying it out, the old men made her a beautiful wreath. She really became a flower fairy. In the words of the old men, "Girls are meant to be pampered."

The old men use their power to spoil their grandchildren, and with a wave of their hands, they buy all kinds of things!

In just a few days, Gu Xixian's originally somewhat empty wardrobe was completely full, and then her room had another large vertical wardrobe that took up an entire wall, which was then filled with all kinds of the latest styles of clothes from Shangjing City. Gu Xixian even felt that she would not be able to wear all these clothes until she was seventy or eighty years old. Her dressing box was also filled with various head ornaments, jewelry, and accessories, stacked layer upon layer.

In Gu Di's words, she was the only female head of the Gu family in hundreds of years. She was one hundred percent better than a princess, and she had to dress differently from head to toe every day.

Gu Xixian was so moved that she cried. This was the first time in her past and present lives that someone had spoiled her so attentively. Her parents also spoiled her in her past life, but it was not as romantic as this.

Looking at the huge cabinets in his sister's room, even Gu Xihao couldn't help but sigh, wondering why he wasn't a girl, otherwise he could have benefited from it.

When the old man heard this, he came back to shop. Then, Gu Xihao was very honored to experience his sister's happiness and headache.

The old men who stopped only after the brother and sister repeatedly persuaded them to do so complained: the house is too small, it's time to change it! The brother and sister didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly persuaded them: "Grandpa, a smaller house is more cozy. If it's too big, we have to walk for half a day to have a meal, it's really not worth it."

After much persuasion, the old men finally gave up the idea of ​​changing houses.

Time flies, winter turns to spring, apricot blossoms bloom in March, and the list of successful candidates comes with it. Rich or poor, talented or idle, all flock to the capital. After all, horse-riding parades don't happen every year.

"Brother, are you nervous?" Gu Xixian asked, pursing her lips. She was very nervous.

Gu Xihao touched her head and said softly, "Brother, don't be nervous. Don't worry. Even if you don't make it to the first class, you will definitely have a place in the second class."

He has this confidence!
