Zhao Qiqi picked up the food for a long time but still felt it was not enough. She believed that such a small amount would be eaten up in no time. With so many people in the old Gu family, it was really lively and the delicious food was consumed very quickly.

After picking up the pieces for a while, Zhao Qiqi's waist couldn't take it anymore. He straightened up and twisted his stiff neck. A wave of fatigue came over him.

Seeing Gu Yanyi and his group jumping and skipping, catching insects and playing as they came down with laughter, she smiled with her lips but not her eyes. It was indeed better to be young. She felt that since coming here, not only her body had aged, but also her mind.

"Gu Yanyi, come here."

Zhao Qiqi called him directly and planned to give him this painful job.

"Do you want to eat something delicious?"

He nodded and looked at Zhao Qiqi expectantly: "Mom, what's delicious?"

I looked at the others with some joy and some smugness, hehe, see, my mother is going to make something delicious for me!

Zhao Qiqi patted his shoulder and entrusted this important task to him: "If you want to eat, pick up more of this and I will use it to make you something delicious."

He was dumbfounded. What was so delicious about this? Even the wild mushrooms in his mother's bamboo basket were much more delicious.

This has no taste and is not delicious at all.

Zhao Qiqi glared at him with dissatisfaction. This brat, they have lived together for so long, yet he still doesn’t believe her?

"If you don't believe this, don't you also believe in mother?"

He had no choice but to nod his head in a daze: "I believe it." How could he dare to say he didn't believe it in front of his mother's look?

Although he was truly skeptical, he had a hunch that if he said he didn't believe it, he would definitely regret it.

"If you believe it, pick it up."

He wanted to cry but had no tears. This thing was difficult to pick up and wash. Could his mother think he had done something wrong and was deliberately making things difficult for him?

Gu Yanyi took on the task. He and Zhao Qiqi first took their things home and put them down. They exchanged the leaves for money. Touching the money in his hand, he felt a little comforted.

Looking at Gu Zhaoyun who was learning embroidery with her aunt, he approached her and said, "Xiaowu, mother said she would make us something delicious. Let's go together."

So he took his deceived brother and Gu Zhaoyun, who knew nothing, up the mountain again. It was not too far, just a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. There was mountain spring water flowing down, the grass was lush and green, and there were many large and small rocks.

If it were in modern times, this would definitely be a great place for sketching.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, the sky is blue, and flocks of birds fly by from time to time. If people set foot among them, they will disturb all living creatures and it can be regarded as composing a song in the forest.

Everyone was busy, so Zhao Qiqi and Gu Yansui put down their work on making molds first and asked him to kill three chickens and stew chicken soup. It was the first day of official work, so it was okay to give everyone a bowl of chicken soup.

Three chickens were still a bit too many, so Gu Yansui wiped the chickens' necks neatly. In an instant, the three unlucky chickens were dead and motionless.

Zhao Qiqi lit a fire in the pot, and after the water boiled, he used it to scald the chicken so that the chicken feathers could be easily removed.

After cleaning the three chickens, Zhao Qiqi separated the internal organs and chicken meat, put the chicken into the casserole to make soup, and used the internal organs to stir-fry taro later.

The taro that was pickled last time is now edible.

It is probably really difficult to pick them up, and there are so many people who want to eat them. Gu Yanyi has not shown any intention of taking them back.

Zhao Qiqi also followed Gu Yansui and others to make the mold. While grinding the wooden board, Zhao Qiqi suddenly remembered that a literati like Master Qu was good at calligraphy and painting, so why did he need to look for anyone else? He could just go to Master Qu directly.

"Yan Yan, go to Master Qu's place tomorrow and invite him home for dinner. Tell him that mother has something important to ask of you."

Gu Yanyan nodded and said, "Is mother looking for the teacher about this soap mold?"

Zhao Qiqi nodded: "Mother wants to ask your teacher to come over and write some inscriptions for us and draw some patterns. You can copy them and then they will be handed over to you."

Of course, it is impossible to let Master Qu do these things for them all the time. After all, the old man is old and cannot be overworked.

"By the way, Yan Sui, Yan Yi said he wanted to learn how to use the abacus. When you go to the town to purchase things tomorrow, remember to buy him an abacus." Zhao Qiqi put a bulging purse in his hand. Purchasing things would require a lot of money.

"Mom, you don't need so much."

"Take it. You are the eldest son, so you have to take the initiative to take care of the family affairs. There are many places to spend money. Apart from purchasing, keep the rest with you just in case. Also, don't think too much. I will let Yan Yan keep accounts of this money. If you spend it recklessly, I will beat you up."

Zhao Qiqi's pretending to be serious made Gu Yansui laugh out loud and he nodded yes.

This kid has a masochistic physique. He feels uncomfortable if he is not scolded or yelled at. He is crazy!

"Since when did this kid become interested in studying?"

Old lady Gu's words made everyone look at Zhao Qiqi curiously. Gu Yanyi was the most nonchalant among these children. He ran around like a wild dog all day long and never liked these things.

"I gave him the task of weighing the leaves. He has a strong sense of responsibility and is afraid that he will hinder us if he fails to do a good job. He is quite sensible."

Old Madam Gu slapped Gu Dazhu, who was forced to work, on the head and said, "Look at you. You are not even as good as your cousin. You can't even sit still. What a shame!"

The old lady was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She glared at Xiang, who was sitting on the other side, bored and dazed. It was not time to end yet, so she had nothing to do and was free.

Gu Dazhu touched his head aggrievedly. He had changed! Everything had changed! Grandma was not like this before. It was all because of Gu Yanyi. He just wanted to show off, so he acted like this and even got him scolded!

Zhao Qiqi decided to get this seedling back: "Dazhu, I think you and your cousins ​​are not bad, you just want to take more time off. But if you keep taking a break, in a few years, Ye Shuixian will get married, and you will probably still be relying on your parents for support."

Gu Dazhu subconsciously wanted to refute: "How could Sister Shuixian marry someone else! Don't talk nonsense."

It was indeed wishful thinking. If he was like this, Ye Narcissus would never marry him.

Zhao Qiqi could see that Ye Shuixian was an ambitious and practical person.

Old lady Gu slapped him on the forehead again. It was so loud that Gu Dazhu's forehead turned red. "Grandma, why did you hit me again?"

"Look at what you are like. You don't make any progress yourself, and now you're talking to your aunt like this. You're really rebellious."

When Old Lady Gu got angry, Gu Dazhu was still very afraid. Xiang had always granted his requests. If there was anyone in the Gu family who could restrain Gu Dazhu, it would be Old Lady Gu.

If Xiang hadn't been protecting him all the time, Old Lady Gu would have kicked him into the field and plowed the land several times.

He didn't dare to speak anymore and looked in the direction of Xiang for help.

Xiang had heard the noise here a long time ago. At this moment, Gu Dazhui suddenly came towards her and she didn't have time to turn back.
