Chapter 121: Chapter 121: I Have Money
Nan Jin Yu just smiled and put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Gu Nian took a few more bites before stopping.
When Gu Nian returned home, the family was just having lunch.
Mrs. Jiang asked her, "You’re back! Go to the kitchen to get a bowl and hurry over to eat!"
No one was waiting for her to eat, it was just that everyone was busy, and there were other things to do after the meal. It was already nice enough to have saved her some food.
Lin Sanshui grumbled a bit, "Took so long to come back, you’ve already eaten at Young Master Nan’s place, haven’t you? You little rascal enjoy feasting outside while I, your poor father, can only eat grass at home!"
That’s an exaggeration.
The family still had some fish caught a few days ago, kept in the water tank to be caught anytime they wanted to eat.
And after Gu Nian made fish soup and braised fish, Mrs. Jiang’s cooking skills improved a lot.
Gu Nian smiled at Lin Sanshui in a placating manner, "Dad, I already promised to compensate with two roast ducks, can we stop bringing up old issues?"
"What? Two roast ducks?" Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Sanshui in disbelief. "Are we living luxuriously or what?"
Lin Sanshui replied meekly, "Isn’t it rare to be happy once in a while? Besides, our family isn’t short of two roast ducks now!"
"Is it about the roast ducks?" Mrs. Jiang firmly decided to have a good talk with Lin Sanshui today, "We are just ordinary people, although now we have a little silver, it’s all by chance. No one can depend on luck for a lifetime. We still have to be down-to-earth. Look at you now, just received the silver and you’re already floating...How will we live in the future..."
Gu Nian listened and silently mourned for Lin Sanshui for a second, then went to the kitchen to get the bowl and chopsticks to eat.
Nan Jin Yu’s appetite was really small. Every time they ate together, he would be full after a few bites, making her feel bad continuing to eat alone.
So, eating with Nan Jin Yu was an aesthetic experience; real cravings had to be satisfied back at home.
After the meal, Gu Nian called Erhu, "Second brother, can you go to Old Mr. Li to ask for some sheep milk?"
Erhu’s eyes instantly lit up, "Little sister, are you going to make bamboo tube milk tea again?"
This naming skill truly resonated with Nan Jin Yu.
Gu Nian laughed secretly to herself.
"Yes, but it’s a pity we don’t have sheep milk at home; otherwise, we could make it often." Gu Nian loved drinking milk tea in the modern day. Although not fond of staying in the kitchen every day, she loved crafting new things.
If it wasn’t for visiting too often and fearing to bother Old Mr. Li, she would definitely make it often.
Suddenly, a thought struck Gu Nian, and she said, "Second brother, when you go, take a few pieces of the pastries bought at noon and ask if Old Mr. Li is willing to sell that milk-producing sheep. If he does, we could buy it and then have milk tea frequently!"
Erhu was startled by Gu Nian’s boldness, swallowing nervously, "The idea is nice, but we have no money, and also, mom definitely wouldn’t agree to buy a sheep just for milk tea."
"I have money." Gu Nian reached into her pocket and pulled out a silver ingot.
"Where did you get that?" Erhu was wide-eyed; he was twelve, yet couldn’t find even a copper coin on himself, while Gu Nian at six casually pulled out a silver ingot.
Comparing really infuriates people!
"Dad gave it to me. Dad said that the money I earn with effort will be split with me fifty-fifty." Understanding the perks of being wealthy, Gu Nian didn’t refuse.
