Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 138 Full Moon

On December 20th, the cattle farm in Shanghe Village was officially completed, including the laboratory that Gu Zhan had promised to build for the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It has also been fully built and started to be ventilated and dried.

Just wait until the cowshed is almost dry and then contact the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to send the cows over.

On December 26th, which was the sixth day of the eleventh lunar month, it was finally time for little Gu Xinxin's full moon banquet. Gu Zhan didn't plan to hold a big event, he just wanted to invite everyone from the Liu family to come for a meal.

Gu Zhan started preparing this meal a few days ago.

While he was at the commune mailing documents to Sun Yuan, he bought three pounds of pork and pastries, two pounds of peanuts and melon seeds, and some candies.

It's winter now, so you don't have to worry about things going bad if you leave them at home.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the New Year, Liu Jinshui and Huang Guihua's family came over and brought an old hen from home.

"Auntie!" Liu Jianguo walked beside Huang Guihua and started calling her before entering the door.

Liu Xiaoxi was wearing a thick cotton jacket and watching Gu Zhan busying around in the kitchen.

She had originally planned to come over to help, but Gu Zhan wouldn't let her get involved, so now she could only stand aside and watch Gu Zhan busy himself.

Gu Zhan was working seriously, and Liu Xiaoxi was watching intently when she suddenly heard her nephew's voice. She subconsciously asked Gu Zhan, "It sounds like Jianguo's voice."

"Yes! It's them."

Liu Xiaoxi's eyes lit up: "My parents, brother and sister-in-law are here."

Before he finished speaking, Yinren had already run to the gate to wait for people.

Gu Zhan put down the work in his hands and wiped his hands. Before he even reached the door, Liu Jianguo ran in, pulling Huang Guihua by the collar of her clothes.

"Aunt, where is my sister? I want to see her." Liu Jianguo said excitedly as he entered the door, grabbing Liu Xiaoxi's hand.

Liu Jianguo has been thinking about little baby Gu Xinxin for a whole month.

Ever since Huang Guihua came home and told her family how pretty Xinxin was, Liu Jianguo has been very moved. However, his family told him that his sister could not see anyone until she was one month old, so he counted the days until his sister's full month.

"Let Jianguo see his sister as soon as possible. He has been busy nagging him for the past month," said Huang Guihua.

"Okay!" Liu Xiaoxi said affectionately while touching Liu Jianguo's smooth head.

"My little sister has recovered so well." Wang Yuehong helped Liu Zhong, who was still walking unnaturally, to the door. Looking at Liu Xiaoxi standing at the door in a brand new cotton-padded jacket, her cheeks more delicate than when she was a girl, she said sincerely.

Liu Xiaoxi was embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, you are joking, how could that be true?"

"It seems my brother-in-law is taking good care of me!"

Gu Zhan also came over to greet a few people and welcomed them into the main hall.

Little Gu Xinxin was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by the noise outside. When she didn't see her sweet and soft mother, she burst into tears.

Before she even entered the house, Huang Guihua heard her granddaughter crying. She was so distressed that she hurried past a few people and went into the house. She took off her cold smock and picked up the crying little girl.

As soon as Liu Jinshui and Liu Zhong, who were walking behind, entered the house, they saw the tender baby in Huang Guihua's arms.

Wang Yuehong doesn't have a daughter, so she was very curious to see little Gu Xinxin. She leaned over to take a look, and saw the baby's big black eyes looking at her.

"This child is so good-looking. Look, she is looking at me and doesn't seem shy at all." Wang Yuehong said to Huang Guihua in a low voice for fear of scaring the child.

Liu Jinshui and Liu Zhong sat in front of the eight-immortals table, eagerly waiting for Huang Guihua to bring the child over to show them, but Huang Guihua seemed to have forgotten about it.

Liu Jinshui was so anxious that he coughed violently. Only then did Huang Guihua react and hurriedly carried the child to Liu Jinshui.

This was the first time that little Gu Xinxin had seen so many people since she was born. She was not afraid of strangers and looked at everyone wherever her sight came into view.

"Hurry, give me a hug." Liu Jinshui said.

"You feel cold when you just came into the house. Be careful not to let the child get cold." Huang Guihua said.

She came to take care of her daughter during this period. In order to make it easier to hold the child, she wore a cardigan over her cotton coat. She took off the cardigan as soon as she entered the house so that she would not worry about the child being cold.

But Liu Jinshui and the others didn't know that the clothes outside were not warm enough at the moment, so they could only stare at the baby in Huang Guihua's arms with envy in their eyes.

After a while, Liu Jinshui finally felt that it was about time, so he stood up and walked over to Huang Guihua and said, "Come and let me hold my granddaughter."

Huang Guihua carefully handed the child to Liu Jinshui. Liu Jinshui held the bubbling little one in his arms, and his heart softened. He seemed to see his daughter again when she was little, a bubbling ball, curled up in his wife's arms.

Despite his excitement, he didn't forget the most important thing of the day. He pulled out a ten-dollar bill from his coat pocket and stuffed it into his granddaughter's blanket.

Liu Xiaoxi was sharp-eyed and saw the father stuffing money into the child's pocket, so she hurried over to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Liu Jinshui said, "This money is for my granddaughter, don't be jealous."

This one sentence stopped Liu Xiaoxi from saying anything.

"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Zhan didn't think it was a big deal and agreed to it generously. After all, it was a blessing from the elderly to the child, and he would just find a way to return it later.

When Wang Yuehong came, she thought that they had already brought the chickens from home, and Liu Zhong's leg was injured, so the family expenses increased a lot, so she thought it was okay not to give money to the child. Who knew that now her father-in-law had given money, and it would be rude for them, as uncle and aunt, not to give it.

Just when Wang Yuehong was embarrassed and thinking of a solution, Liu Zhong took advantage of no one's attention and stuffed five dollars into her hand.

Feeling a foreign object in her hand, Wang Yuehong subconsciously looked at her husband, and at her husband's nod, she took the thing in his hand.

While her parents-in-law were paying attention to the child, Wang Yuehong took a look at what was in her hand, and it turned out to be a five-yuan bill.

Wang Yuehong glanced at her husband's eyes, smiled, and moved closer to Huang Guihua. She stuffed the five yuan in her hand into the baby's swaddle and said with a smile, "This is a meeting gift from my uncle and aunt to our Xinxin."

Liu Xiaoxi looked at her sister-in-law Wang Yuehong in surprise and quickly declined, "Sister-in-law, we are all family, what are you doing?"

Wang Yuehong grabbed Liu Xiaoxi's hand as she was about to take the money out of the quilt and said with a smile, "Little sister, this is a small gift from your brother and me. Don't think it's too little."

"Sister-in-law, you..."

"This is the rule. You keep it and give it to your child." Wang Yuehong imitated Liu Jinshui's words.

Liu Xiaoxi had no way to refuse and had to accept it.
