Gu Nian fried the eggplant box, stir-fried the cabbage and shredded meat, stewed the radish in bone soup, added sugar to the cold cucumber, and made an egg-fried cucumber. Next was the fragrant rice.

The three strange souls of the Gu family had not touched rice in the past few days, so it was naturally fragrant.

As for Gu Xin, who had never eaten rice twice a year in her entire life, she felt that the rice was even more fragrant.

“Father, Mother, we don’t have enough seasoning at home, so you guys can make do with this eggplant box. When I get all the seasoning, I’ll prepare a good meal for you guys.” Gu Nian really despised the rice she had made today.

“It’s very delicious.” Gu Shouxin picked up an eggplant box and ate it, then commented.

His eating movements were more refined. Except for Gu Xin, who felt that her father was eating differently now, the other two did not feel anything.

Gu Xin did not think too much about it. Why would she think about anything else when she smelled such delicious food?

The family of four ate up the entire meal.

After they finished eating, Gu Xin wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Gu Shouxin. “Daddy will wash the dishes today. Xin Xin, go rest.”

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked at Gu Shouxin in surprise.

It was so nice to be 9,000 years old!

They were so happy that they dragged Gu Xin out of the kitchen.

The mother and daughter went to the chicken coop again and found the hens squatting in their nests. It was already dark; it looked like they had gone to sleep.

Gu Shouxin finished washing the dishes and started boiling water. He then tidied up the kitchen.

When the water was ready, it was completely dark outside.

The family of four washed up in the kitchen. Gu Xin was the youngest, so she was told to wash her face and feet first.

After washing, Gu Xin took the basin to pour water and walked to the vegetable field. She thought of what her father had said about not touching the vegetable field. After she poured water on her feet, the vegetable field was moved.

Moved the vegetable field?

Something flashed through Gu Xin’s mind.

Yesterday, her jade bead slipped into the foot-washing water. Today, her jade bead slipped into the chicken food. Could it be related to the jade bead?

Gu Xin was frightened by her thoughts.

No, she had to try.

She put down the foot-washing basin and turned to look at the kitchen. No one came out.

She thought to herself, “Little Fish, please give me a jade bead!”

The jade fish appeared in her hand and spat out a jade bead.

Gu Xin sneakily looked back at the kitchen. Then she put the jade bead into the foot-washing water and took a few steps toward the door.

The small piece near the door was previously planted with chilies, but now it was all dried up.

She poured the water into the chilies, then quickly ran back to the kitchen as if she had done a bad thing.

“Xin Xin, do you want to go to the toilet after washing? Mom will go with you. Wake up when you fall asleep, it will be cold,” Cai Xiaolian asked.

“Okay, Mom.” Gu Xin nodded.

That night, the Gu family slept well. They had been busy all day. Although they were thinking about the strange vegetable field and the hen in the chicken pen, they were tired and fell asleep soon.

Gu Xin got up on time. When she got up, she thought of the chili in the vegetable field. She put on her clothes, shoes, and didn’t have time to comb her hair before she went to the yard.

At this moment, Gu Shouxin was already squatting in the chili field in the courtyard.

Gu Xin saw the green, red, and red-green chili at the entrance of the central room.

It was the jade bead!

It was the jade bead that the Little Carp had given her.

As expected of a carp that could cross the Dragon Gate. The gifts were all so powerful!
