"Mom and Dad, this is your room. It was cleaned yesterday."

Gu Mingda moved his parents' packages into the room with the best sunlight.

Old Lady Gu stood in the yard, looking around. Although she stayed in Qingshui Village all year round, she was not a fool.

The house that Gu Mingda rented was a little remote, but it was very big inside, with five rooms. Even in the countryside, it would be difficult for them to live so spaciously, let alone in the city.

But Gu Mingda didn't mention the rent, and Old Lady Gu didn't keep asking to annoy people. It's just that her spirit was always tense, and her mind was full of what to do if Gu Mingda didn't want the house and land in the countryside and didn't have money to pay the rent in the city in the future.

The old lady was looking forward to the shop making more money.

But when she thought that the share of the shop belonged to Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang, the old lady was afraid that others would say that Gu Mingda was a gigolo.

In comparison, Old Man Gu was much more casual.

After he became confused, he didn't care about these things at all. He got on the carriage when his family asked him to, and got off when they asked him to. He didn't show any discomfort in the new place. However, from beginning to end, the old man's eyes were fixed on Niu Niu, fearing that his precious little girl would disappear if he missed her.

"Grandpa, Daddy said that half of the yard would be used to grow ginger for me, and the other half would be used to raise chickens for you." Niu Niu said with a smile while holding Gu Lao's hand.

"Grandpa, see if this land can grow ginger." After saying this, Gu Lao looked at the yard, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it.

Niu Niu looked at him expectantly and asked, "Can it? Can it?"

Gu Zhao squeezed over to join in the fun, and also grabbed a handful of soil and smelled it.

"Grandpa, can you smell any difference between this soil and the one in our village?" Gu Zhao asked curiously.

Old Man Gu said, "The soil is very dry. Water it more."

Niuniu immediately looked at him with admiration and said, "Grandpa is so great. Grandpa knows everything!"

After hearing his granddaughter's praise, Old Man Gu laughed and said, "Grandpa will build a fence for the chickens today and turn the soil early tomorrow morning."

Niuniu was not the kind of lazy child, so she quickly said, "I'll help Grandpa!"

The second branch moved from the village to the city. Gu Mingda knew his parents' personalities and would definitely not want to throw anything away, so he rented two carriages, which were filled with the two old people.

Originally, Gu Mingda thought that even if he didn't kill the six chickens that Old Man Gu raised for Niuniu during the New Year, he would probably give two to the first and third branches when he went to the city.

But he didn't expect that the old man would do what he said. Even if he was confused, he said that the chickens were for Niuniu, but he really didn't give them to the first and third branches. He made a cage and brought all six chickens into the city.

Even the bamboo strips used to fence the chicken coop were brought into the city from the countryside.

Old Man Gu enjoyed having his granddaughter to help him, and picked some easy tasks for Niu Niu and Gu Zhao to do.

When the chicken coop was half fenced, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Zhao had been so bored that he counted on his fingers. When he heard the sound, he rushed to the door: "I'll open the door!"

Liu Xiaoru came in holding a basin, smelling of stewed food.

"Aunt Liu! Niu Niu misses you so much!" Niu Niu put down the bamboo strips in her hand and threw herself into Liu Xiaoru's arms.

Liu Xiaoru hadn't seen Niu Niu for more than ten days, and she missed her so much that she hugged her like a "heartbroken girl" as soon as she saw her.

Gu Zhao smelled the tempting aroma, his mouth watered all over the floor, and asked: "Auntie Liu, what's delicious? Let me see!"

Zhang Yunniang came out of the house, reached out and knocked on Gu Zhao's head, and said: "Don't talk like that, come in and pour tea for your Auntie Liu."

Gu Zhao ran into the house with his head down to pour tea.

"I specially left the stewed food." Liu Xiaoru handed over a plate that was bigger than a washbasin.

Zhang Yunniang smiled and said: "That's good, I can cook two fewer dishes for dinner."

After Liu Xiaoru handed over the plate, she hugged Niuniu more and was reluctant to let go.

"My dear, take this." Liu Xiaoru took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Niuniu.

The purse was made of the girl's favorite pink cloth, and there were no common flowers and plants embroidered on it, but a ginger seedling on one side and a large ginger on the other side.

"Ginger purse!" Niuniu opened her eyes wide, with a look of surprise.

Zhang Yunniang looked at the situation, shook her head helplessly, and said: "Your eyesight is not good, and you are usually busy, so there is no need to embroider this purse for her."

Liu Xiaoru smiled and said: "The things in the store are not worried about selling, I am not busy at all."

Niuniu thought that having a purse as a gift was a surprise enough, but she didn't expect to touch something uncomfortable in her hand. When she took it out, she found that it was a handful of silver melon seeds.

"Is this... money? Or melon seeds?" It was the first time that Niuniu saw silver in this shape, and she was immediately puzzled.

Zhang Yunniang hurriedly said: "Niuniu, this is money. Let's return the silver to Aunt Liu and keep the purse, okay?"

Although Niuniu has started to save money, she is not greedy for money and nodded obediently.

Liu Xiaoru wanted to hold Niuniu's little hand, but she suddenly felt that it was so comfortable when she pinched it just now, so she couldn't help but hold it.

"Sister, it's not the end of the first month of the year yet. Isn't it normal for the elders to give the younger generation New Year's money?" Liu Xiaoru said with a smile.

Zhang Yunniang said, "This is too much."

Liu Xiaoru smiled and said, "Sister, you have been in the countryside, you don't know how much money we made this year. When you know, you won't think it's too much at all."

"Besides, isn't the New Year's money meant for the children to be safe and happy in the coming year? This is my blessing to Niu Niu."

Zhang Yunniang simply had no way to deal with this sister.

Although Liu Xiaoru always favored Niu Niu, she didn't do it too obviously. She gave each child a purse of silver melon seeds as New Year's money, but only Niu Niu's purse was embroidered by her personally.

Zhang Yunniang saw that she spent so much money at once, and the psychological pressure was too great. Now she was looking forward to Liu Xiaoru getting married soon, so that she could give her a thick dowry.

Old Lady Gu had heard of Liu Xiaoru a long time ago. She knew that she was now in charge of the entire shop, and she had just given the children a lot of New Year's money. She was very polite to her, and didn't neglect her at all because she was divorced.

Now there were not so many people, and they were all family, so they didn't have separate tables for dinner.

Niuniu could eat by herself, but Liu Xiaoru insisted on holding her in her arms and feeding her. Liu Xiaoru didn't eat much, but every time Niuniu looked at a dish for a few more times, she could find out immediately.

At a table, the old couple sat on the upper hand, Gu Mingda and his wife sat opposite, and Gu Yan and Gu Zhao sat on the lower hand.

Niuniu ate the food one bite after another, with her family around her, and she felt that she was the happiest child in the world.

After the meal, Liu Xiaoru directly put two banknotes on the table.

Zhang Yunniang looked at the money that was said to be the dividend for herself and Niuniu, and asked in disbelief: "You made so much money in just over ten days?"
