656 Just a little bit more

The rain came so suddenly that the sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly in the morning, and the clouds were clouding the sky in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Cai Xiaolian had the help of the Meng familys wife and the four girls at home. Otherwise, she really couldnt take back all the dried things in the bazi alone.

After Gu Nian and Gu Xin went back to their rooms to take a shower, they changed into a fresh set of clothes and sat on the bench outside the main room. They watched the rain as they dried their hair.

Gu Xin was a little excited,Ive never had such heavy rain since the hot weather! The rain stopped at 1 am and it was still hot. This heavy rain is so cool and the strong wind is so cool!

Cai Xiaolian,yeah! Its already the end of July, and it should be cooler next month!

Thats right. Its the end of July. Mother, lets go to town and buy some duck eggs. Lets make salted duck eggs too! We can even make mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Hearing about food, Gu Xin became even more excited, Sister, Sister, whats a salted duck egg? Its better to buy the duck directly than the eggs, the duck will run away all of a sudden.

Cough, cough, cough, cough! Gu Nian quickly interrupted.

Gu Xin was stunned and followed Gu Nians gaze. Gu Ren, who was in Cai Xiaolians arms, was poking the fighting bug with two index fingers.

Gu Xin laughed, sister, just bear with it. He wont understand. Its fine! lets buy some ducks to run!

Gu Nian said,Xinxin, buy eggs. Lets buy duck eggs. If you let a duck into our lotus pond, wont it spoil the Lotus?

Gu Xin agreed,lets buy duck eggs then! but we can buy some ducklings to feed next spring!

alright! gu nian agreed.

Gu Ren tilted his head and secretly glared at Gu Nian.I was so close to finding out your familys Secret. Gu Nian, you sly old fox. Hmph!

Seeing that Gu Xin was not looking at her, Gu Nian made a face at Gu Ren.

if you have the ability, then continue to worm information out of her!

Cai Xiaolian was a little worried as she looked at the rain that was getting heavier. The Gu brothers and the old couple hadnt come back yet, right? she seemed to have said that they would come back today.

He didnt know if they had set off yet. If they encountered a landslide or something along the way, what would he do?

Gu Xin ruffled her hair and asked again,sister, you still havent told me what a salted duck egg is. are they the salty duck eggs? If its salty, will it taste good?

I thought you didnt like egg yolks? Gu Nian nodded. The duck egg had been marinated into a salted duck egg, so the yolk was delicious. They could be wrapped in rice dumplings, mooncakes, or even made into egg yolk pastries. When its done, Ill make it for you. Im sure youll like it!

I like it! Gu Xin nodded her head repeatedly. I like to eat anything my sister makes!

Youre such a bootlicker! Gu Nian rolled her eyes at her.

Gu Xin chuckled.

The two sisters chatted for a while before they realized that their mother had not said anything and had been looking at the rain.

The two sisters finally understood. Their mother was probably worried about their grandparents and father!

xinxin, are you okay? gu nian asked. grandpa, grandma, and father will be able to come back safely, right?

gu xin nodded without hesitation, of course! Even if the mountain collapses, theyll still be able to return safely.

gu nian thought,just say that well be back safely. why did you say that the mountain collapsed?

Cai Xiaolian heard Gu Xins words, yes, they will come back safely if you say so.

The little koi fish had spoken, so she was finally relieved.

Gu Xin nodded, in the past, when it rained, the mountain would collapse and block the road. The water in the mountains could wash away the road. Its normal for mountains to collapse in heavy rain, and rocks will fall! Grandpa and Grandma are good people, they will definitely return safely.
