The princess is farming with her baby, daddy, come find me soon

After the Li couple and their family of four, Feng Nan and Kong Su left, Xiao Chu, Xu Bo, Xiao Liu and Gu Manzhu were left in the front hall.

Xiao Chu kept a stern face the whole time, Xiao Liu stood quietly beside Gu Manzhu, and Xu Bo drank the tea in his hand.

Gu Manzhu blinked her peach blossom eyes, finally breaking the silent atmosphere.

"I was thinking of going to check out the house in Shangshan Village in a few days and then tidy up."

Seeing that no one answered her, Gu Manzhu took a breath and continued, "After I finish cleaning up the house in Shangshan Village, I will probably move there."

Xiao Liu blinked, looked at Xu Bo who was sitting, and then looked at Gu Manzhu beside him.

She opened and closed her mouth, and finally Xu Bo couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Xiao Liu, say what you want to say!"

Xiao Liu was shocked when he heard this and hurried to the front.

She looked up at Gu Manzhu, and seeing her smiling face, the words she had been weighing in her mind blurted out.

"Miss Manzhu, can I go with you to Shangshan Village? I will serve you there."

Gu Manzhu was shocked when she heard what Xiao Liu said: "Xiao Liu, Shangshan Village is not like here. You and Xu Bo should stay in the town as before."

Xiao Liu was anxious after hearing this. She really wanted to stay with Gu Manzhu. It was too lonely living in Xu Bo's house with only her.

"I am not afraid of tiredness or hardship. I will serve you well. I hope you can take me with you!"

"But……"

Gu Manzhu felt helpless. She also wanted Xiao Liu to be by her side because Xiao Liu's cooking skills were exceptionally good, but she was not her master after all.

It would be inappropriate for her to continue ordering others around.

Xu Bo, who was standing next to him, looked at the dilemma before him, smoothed his messy beard with his hand, and pondered for a moment.

"I think I can let Xiao Liu continue to stay by your side and serve you, and..."

Before Xu Bo finished speaking, Gu Manzhu's eyes lit up and she turned to look at Xu Bo.

Looking at the two pairs of sparkling eyes in front of him, Xu Bo laughed and shook his head.

They are all little girls!

"Besides, I can also stay by your side and serve you."

Gu Manzhu was surprised: "Uncle Xu, don't be ridiculous, how can you go to the countryside with me!"

Xu Bo looked at her seriously.

"Miss Manzhu, why not? No one lives in this house, so Xiao Liu and I are the only ones guarding it. The master just left not long ago and will not be back in a short time, so we don't need to guard it all the time. It's better for us to follow you to Shangshan Village."

"But……"

Xiao Chu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "I think Uncle Xu is right. We have just started to grow medicinal herbs. It won't work if you don't have a few people to help you."

After hearing this, Gu Manzhu fell silent. What he said was true, but did she have to owe him forever?

You use other people's land, live in their houses, and now you have to order their servants around.

But then she thought and decided to use it first. At worst, when she made money from growing medicinal herbs, she would pay "him" double what she owed.

The peach blossom eyes suddenly curved to the point of captivating everyone.

"Okay then, you all can come with me to Shangshan Village, but don't leave this house alone. We can come back and live here occasionally."

After hearing this, Xiao Liu nodded happily.

I was so happy that I started setting off firecrackers.

Gu Manzhu thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xu, do you think we need to hire someone to look after this house?"

Ask someone to watch over it? Xu Bo thought about it.

"It's hard to find someone right now, so don't worry, wait until you meet the right person."

"Row."

The scorching weather began to cool down in the evening.

There was a burst of ping-pong and clanging sounds of dishes and chopsticks colliding on the dining table.

Seeing that the food on the plate in front of her was getting less and less, Gu Manzhu aimed at the last piece of crispy meat, quickly reached out her hand, hit it with one strike, and stuffed it into her mouth with one chopstick.

Mmm, it's so fragrant, crispy skin, tender meat, salty and fragrant, so delicious.

In a short while, all the plates on the table were cleared away.

Everyone slumped in their chairs after eating.

"Ugh~" Feng Nan couldn't help but burp.

He touched his round belly and smiled shyly.

Kong Su, who was sitting next to him, sat very upright. If he had not added more rice twice during the meal, others would have mistakenly thought that he was not full.

The two children of Mr. and Mrs. Li ate their meals obediently. They did not make any noise during the meal and quietly finished all the rice in their bowls.

Uncle Xu felt the lively atmosphere that he had never felt before. Before, it was always deserted and unpopular.

Ever since Gu Manzhu moved in, this house has gradually become popular, and it will get even better in the future.

Xu Bo nodded with relief.

After eating and drinking, everyone praised Xiao Liu's cooking skills. Even the two children, Li Huai and Li Li, were not shy and sweetly called Xiao Liu "Auntie".

Xiao Liu was embarrassed at first, but after seeing Gu Manzhu's encouraging look, he happily accepted it and decided to make his specialty, braised chicken with sauce, for them tomorrow.

Make sure everyone can have an extra bowl of rice.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're full. Please help clean up the dishes. Our Xiao Liu worked hard to cook a large table of dishes, so we can't let her do the cleaning." Gu Manzhu raised her delicate little chin, looked around, and said to them.

"Puchi!" Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw her proud look.

"How can I let Sister Xiao Liu clean up this? Let me do it. Let Sister Xiao Liu take a break. It's really hard to prepare this table of dishes."

After saying that, he stood up and quickly cleared the dishes on the table. After placing them in the kitchen, he turned around and took a wet rag to wipe the table clean.

After Chen returned to the kitchen, she soaked the dirty dishes in hot water, then scrubbed the dishes one by one with a loofah dipped in wood ash. As she was washing carefully, she suddenly felt the corner of her clothes being pulled.

He looked down and saw that it was his daughter Li Li.

Li Li was wearing a washed-out, ill-fitting dress, and her face was thin and sallow. She tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes.

He tilted his little head and asked obediently, "Mom, let me help you wash the dishes."

When Chen heard this, tears instantly filled her eyes.

She washed her hands with clean water and dried them on her dress. She raised her hand and touched Li Li's dry hair: "No need for Xiao Lizi to help me, I can do it myself."

She felt very sad, thinking that she and Li Dong were useless and sorry for these two children.

Xiao Lizi felt his mother's warm hand, turned his head to look at the kitchen door, then turned back and whispered to Chen.

"Mom, can we stay here forever? I like it here!"

After hearing this, Chen squatted down to the same level as Xiao Lizi, looking at her eyes which seemed bigger as she became thinner.

"Mother likes it here too, but we have to help Miss Manzhu and may leave here."

"Ah, then will we not have enough to eat again?" Xiao Lizi's originally bright eyes suddenly became dim like a shooting star.

Seeing her daughter's lost look, Chen smiled and hugged her daughter. "No, we will have enough to eat every day. When mom and dad make money, we will make new clothes for Xiao Lizi, okay?"

Little Lizi couldn't believe it and thought she had heard it wrongly, but when she looked into her mother's smiling eyes, she knew that what her mother said was true.

"Xiao Lizi, we are able to find a place to settle down thanks to Miss Manzhu. We should listen to her in the future, okay?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm." Little Lizi nodded in confusion. She didn't quite understand yet, but she knew that it was Miss Manzhu who ensured that they were full.

"Okay, go play with your brother, mom will be done in a minute."

She responded "OK" and jumped to play with her brother Li Huai.
