My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

This way, you can keep your money in a safe place.

God knows how painful it is to have a bag full of money but not dare to spend it!

Gu Lili and Gu Sigou followed the original owner's memory and quickly found the Li family.

The Li family lived worse than the second branch of the Gu family. They only had two rooms in total.

My eldest uncle Li Qingshan and my aunt lived in one room, while my grandparents, my second uncle Li Ershu, and my third uncle Li Tiansheng also lived in another room.

"Grandpa and grandma!" Gu Sigou shouted at the two old people in the yard.

Old Mrs. Li and Old Man Li were weaving a backpack and thought they were hallucinating.

When he turned around, he saw his granddaughter and grandson standing outside the yard.

"Lili, Sigou, why are you two here? Did those guys from the Gu family bully you again?" Old man Li and old lady Li quickly put down the work in their hands and came to greet the brother and sister.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "Grandma, no one is bullying us. We just picked up a lot of fish at the beach today and brought some to you."

Gu Lili said as she handed over the bucket in her hand.

It took Si Gou and I a full hour to walk this journey. Fortunately, the weather was not hot, otherwise the fish would have gone bad.

The two old men were not happy when they saw the big bucket of fish in Gu Lili's hand. The fish probably weighed about twenty kilograms.

The two men were so thin and had walked such a long way, they must have been very tired.

Old Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said, "Child, if you pick up the fish at home, just keep it and eat it. Why did you run so far to bring it to me?"

While Mrs. Li was saying these words of reproach, she took the bucket and placed it on the ground, carefully watching over Lili.

Gu Sigou said with a smile, "We picked up three buckets of fish today, we can't finish them all."

After hearing what Gu Lili said, the two old people smiled.

Gu Lili's hands were indeed rubbed raw. Old Mrs. Li held Gu Lili's hands in her own and blew on them again and again to relieve the pain.

She smiled and held Mrs. Li's hand, "Grandma, I'm not that delicate. This little pain is nothing."

Gu Lili knew that her grandmother was transferring her love for Li Xihua to her.

Old man Li stroked his beard and said, "Old woman, go and get the two children some water. They must be tired after walking such a long way."

Old Mrs. Li patted her thigh and said, "Look at my memory. I'll go get you some water."

Old Mrs. Li trotted to her kitchen.

Seeing that there were only two elderly people at home, Gu Lili asked, "Grandpa, where are the three uncles and the eldest aunt? Why isn't cousin Qi Mu at home?"

Old man Li said with a smile, "Oh, your uncle, aunt and Qi Mu went to visit your aunt's relatives, and your two uncles went to the fields to weed. By the way, Lili, you came at the right time. Look, your grandmother and I have made two backpacks for you. Try carrying them and see if they fit you well."

Gu Lili looked in the direction of Old Man Li's hand and saw two backpacks, one of which had a little bit of empty space left.

After returning from Gu Lili's house that day, Mrs. Li noticed that they didn't have any backpacks at home, so she thought of making two and sending them to them while she was not busy these few days.

I didn't expect that they would come today.

Gu Lili carried it on her back and it was a perfect size, neither too big nor too small, just right for her and Erniu's height.

To be honest, Aunt Zhang's house is a little too big for her.

"Lili, Sigou, come and drink some water." Old Mrs. Li handed over two bowls of water.

The two were indeed thirsty, and they began to drink up the drink without hesitation.

"Wow, grandma, the water in your house is so sweet!" Gu Sigou narrowed his eyes with joy.

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "This is the honey your uncle Ershu found in the mountains a few days ago. It tastes good, right?"

Gu Sigou nodded heavily and drank the water in his hand in a few gulps.

"I'll go pour you another bowl!" said Mrs. Li.

Gu Sigou shook his head repeatedly. He knew that honey was a rare thing and he should not be greedy.

As the few of them exchanged pleasantries, Old Man Gu put away the backpack in his hand.

Gu Lili saw that it was almost time, so she stood up and left.

Old Mrs. Li invited them to dinner, but Gu Lili refused.

If we have dinner here and then rush home, it will be dark by then.

Old Mrs. Li couldn't persuade Gu Lili, so she let the siblings go back.

Seeing that the brother and sister seemed to have gained some weight compared to when they saw them a few days ago, the old couple felt more relieved.

Looking at the two people's backs, the old couple wiped away their tears quietly.

Their poor daughter Li Xihua...

When Gu Lili and Gu Sigou returned home, it was almost time for dinner.

Gu Lili was exhausted by the journey. She secretly made up her mind that she must buy the carriage, otherwise her legs, which were not long to begin with, would be worn down!

In the yard, Gu Erniu had already strung the fish with straw and hung them in strings under the eaves to dry in the sun.

Gu Huanhuan held the clothes in her hands and watched from the side to prevent anything from stealing them.

When Gu Erniu saw the two of them coming back, he quickly helped Gu Lili take the backpack and bucket. He dropped the things on the ground and said, "Si Gou, why don't you help your sister carry a backpack or a bucket?"

"I didn't ask him for help. It's such a long way, and it's tiring just to walk." Gu Lili explained with a smile.

It’s not that Gu Lili is protecting his son, but she really can’t bear to see Gu Sigou with his small arms and legs.

Gu Sigou lowered his head with some self-blame and saw that there seemed to be something in the backpack.

"Sister, look, what is this?" Gu Sigou pointed at the things in the backpack.

Gu Lili picked it up and saw that it was honey. She didn't know when her grandmother had secretly put it in there.

Gu Lili smiled and said, "This is honey. Go and make some for your second brother and third sister to try. You should also drink another bowl. I'm going to cook."

Gu Sigou swept away the gloom from before and went happily to soak in honey water.

Tonight's meal is still fried fish, crabs and shrimps.

Gu Lili watched the three siblings eating with gusto, but she felt a little bored.

She thought, why not go to the mountain to find something else to eat tomorrow?

After dinner, Erniu was still the one who washed the dishes. Gu Lili really didn't like washing dishes.

The three siblings studied arithmetic with Gu Lili in the yard for a while, and then went to bed.

Afraid that the fish outside would be taken away by rats or wild animals, the siblings brought the fish home and dried them the next day.

Thanks to Dahei's protection tonight, the siblings slept well.

As the roosters crowed, the four siblings all got up.

After washing up, Erniu took Sigou to take the fish out to dry, and Gu Lili also started to cook breakfast.
