Gu Chunzunturned over and woke up
holding some silver in her hand.
She gently took a bite on it.
It's true! Gu Chunzhu was ecstatic!
She dreamt of Su Wangqin giving her money before he left. Who knows that when she woke up, she really was holding it tightly.
This meant that Su Wangqin has finally recognized her as his person, letting her be in charge of money.
This was a treatment that the original owner had never had.
She put away the silver and turned her head to see that only An An was lying on the bed next to her, Xiao Cheng was gone.
She hurriedly got dressed and went out and saw Xiaocheng in the kitchen, stepping on a wooden chair, vigorously stirring the brown rice in the pot.
"Xiaocheng, why are you up so early? Why are you cooking?" Gu Chunzhu spoke softly, fearing that the child would get scared.
Xiaocheng turned his head to see Gu Chunzhu, his ears turned red. He said: "Before Father went out, he ask me to take care of the both of you. Right now, I am the only man in the family. Father can cook so I can learn."
"Good boy" Gu Chunzhu thought of Reaching out and patting XiaoCheng's head but Xiaocheng was standing three meters away from her and already blushing like an apple.
Gu Chunzhu laughed in her heart,
thinking of the times she had spent with his grandparents in her previous life, she would also cook for herself at the age of seven or eight. After all, the family is poor, Xiaocheng should learn how to do housework early, she would not stop him.
She said "Don't put too much firewood, don't let the porridge overflow. An An hasn't gotten up yet. Mother will go and finish sewing up her clothes."

Xiaocheng nodded.
Gu Chunzhu returned to their room where An An was sleeping soundly.
Before going to bed last night, An An, this little girl, refused to untie her hair. Now, her two little braids were messy. She was still under the habit of sleeping with her arms pressed under her head.
Gu Chunzhu picked up the needles and threads that she had bought the other day and started mending An An's clothes.
But her needlework was really messy. As someone from the modern times and not mastering how to sew
Gu Chunzhu felt ashamed.
She has never had such days as sewing and repairing.
By the time the second hole was filled, Gu Chunzhu felt a little better.
After she had completed the piece of clothing, An An woke up.
Gu Chunzhu combed her hair and looked at her less ragged clothes.
She fix her braids and took her to the kitchen to eat.
Although the porridge that XiaoCheng cooked was a bit hard. Gu Chunzhu and An An both ate very well and finish the bowl in no time.
"Xiaocheng, did you fish in the river before?" Gu Chunzhu asked while she washing the dishes in the tub.
"Um, Brother Zhuang has a fishing net, but our family doesn't." Xiaocheng replied, meaning Gu Chunzhu wouldn't be able catch fish even if she wanted to fish.
But Gu Chunzhu isn't thinking about fishing, she continued to ask: "What else is there in the river, are there fish, turtles and shrimps?"
"There are turtles and shrimps, but the shrimps are too small and The fishing nets are too big. Although there are many in the river, it can't be catched. "Xiaocheng broke Gu Chunzhu's thoughts again.
He couldn't help but looked up to see her disappointed expression.
Unexpectedly, her round face showed a joyful color. Ofcourse Gu Chunzhu thought that shrimps were not for fishing nets, but for fishing.

It happened that when she was a child, she often dried shrimps at her grandma's house.
As for the shrimp hook ... Gu Chunzhu thought of an alternative. She washed the bowls quickly and said to Xiaocheng with a smile: "Take off your clothes, mother will mend it for you."
Xiaocheng looked at An An's newly patched clothes and shyly took off his coat
Gu Chunzhu sewed his clothes for him. After that, she hammered the needle on the ground into a hook shape.
When she plowed the vegetable garden yesterday, She had already picked up some earthworms and put them into a bowl.
This thing she wanted to do when she saw the fish brought back by Xiaocheng yesterday.
It's just that this needle costs five coppers. It was a little distressing.
Hooks, thin bamboo poles or long wood sticks and rods are all things that can be seen everywhere. She soon made a fishing rod and brought a wooden barrel.
The original owner was a lazy lady.
In her memory, she never went to the river to wash clothes. Gu Chunzhu almost got lost. Finally, she found the riverside.
It was morning and many women were washing clothes by the river.
Gu Chunzhu ran upstream and sat on a large bluestone to catch shrimp.
"Who's wife family is this?"
"I don't know, such an adult has come to fish like those kids . Isn't it stupid."
"Who knows, hurry finish washing your clothes and return to feed the pigs! "
The women chitchats got into her ears but Gu Chunzu treated as if she hadn't heard it.
The original owner was lazy and didn't go out often, she didn't know these people either.
Gu Chunzhu was prepared to catch shrimp quietly. She put the earthworm into a secluded spot and put it on the hook. Then she threw the hook in the water.
The shrimp hook sank. Her eyes on the buoy.
The women washing the clothes changed their target of gossip. Gu Chunzhu's buoys hadn't moved yet. She had excellent patience and didn't frown.
After a while, the buoy moved.
Got hook! Gu Chunzhu laughed. She carefully lifted the thin bamboo pole out of the water, A river shrimp hanging from the hook.
A shrimp was caught by the hook, its body desperately moved, trying its best to break free from it.
When Gu Chunzhu used to catch river shrimps in her previous life, she used an extremely fine mesh to hold the river. The shrimp could fall into the net steadily even after breaking free from of the hook.
But Without a net bag, Gu Chunzhu could only make do with a wooden barrel she had brought. The river shrimps fell into the barrel, still struggling to jump inside.
"Whoa, this shrimp can be fish like this!" A woman washing clothes looked over her way like watching a scenery in a terrific sight..
"Good to catch some shrimps to be added in the vegetables." Gu Chunzhu also replied, since they are all in the neighborhood, she would not bow her head down. She would be happy to have a good relationship with everyone.
The shrimps in Gu Chunzu's barrel were lively and could jump half a foot meter high. The shrimps jumped out of the barrel at once.
Gu Chunzhu's eyes were fast. She quickly held the shrimp and threw it back into the wooden bucket. She scooped her hands in the river and scooped some water into the bucket several times..
The shrimps swimming..
