Chapter 16: Smelly Feet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After all, there was no food for dinner.
Gu Xin, who usually did not wash her feet in order not to waste firewood, was escorted by Gu Shouxin to wash her feet.
The water was a little hot, but it was warmer in the winter after soaking in the water.
She went to call her mother and sister, but they were already asleep.
Gu Xin saw Gu Shouxin leave the kitchen and thought of what had happened today. She could not help but spread her hands to see if the jade stone was still there.
It was mainly because everything that had happened today made her feel that it wasn’t real, so she wanted to see the jade stone.
When she spread out her hands and thought about the jade stone, the small jade fish appeared.
Gu Xin was extremely happy. She stared at her palm for a while and couldn’t help but think, what was this jade stone used for? Why was it hidden in her palm?
At this thought, a jade bead suddenly popped out from the mouth of the jade fish in her hand.
Gu Xin was so scared that her hand trembled.
The jade bead fell into the foot basin, splashing a little water.
The jade bead melted as soon as it entered the water, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Xin was stunned. She blinked at the jade fish in her palm and then looked at the foot basin.
She thought it was because the oil lamp in the kitchen was too dim, so she bent over and used her other hand to fish in the foot basin. Unfortunately, there was nothing except for her little feet.
At this moment, Gu Shouxin walked in and saw Gu Xin’s actions. He smiled and said, “Xin Xin also knows that she hasn’t washed her feet for a few days. Her little feet are smelly. Do you want to rub them? Come, let Daddy rub Xin Xin’s feet!”
Gu Xin finished her work in a panic. She didn’t know if her father had seen the jade fish in her hands just now.
However, before she could think about it, the soles of her feet were rubbed hard.
Gu Xin felt someone tickling her and her feet moved uncontrollably. She quickly said, “Dad, I’ll do it myself! Haha, haha, I’ll do it myself!”
Gu Shouxin thought about it and agreed.
Gu Xin was already 10 years old. After the New Year, she would be 11 years old.
Looking at her skinny, short, and dark appearance, he subconsciously felt that she was only five or six years old.
Moreover, he had smelled the girl’s smelly feet just now. It must have been a few days since she washed her feet!
Men and women were seven years old and had different seats. Sons should avoid their mothers and daughters should avoid their fathers. He should not have done this.
Forget it. It was not just this girl. The whole family of four was like this in order to save firewood.
However, this definitely would not work in the future. Now that he was in charge, he had to get them to wash their feet. Smelly, who would like it?
He would go to the mountains tomorrow and bring back two bundles of firewood.
Gu Shouxin got up. “Okay, you do it yourself. I just went to add a blanket to your room. When you sleep at night, remember to wrap yourself tightly so that you don’t catch a cold.”
Gu Xin rubbed her feet and looked up at him. She shook her head. “Dad, I don’t need it. It’s warm when I sleep at night. You can cover it with Mom. It’s okay for sister too.”
Gu Shouxin waved his hand. “Go to the house and cover it as soon as you’re done washing. Once your feet are warm, you’ll be able to fall asleep soon.”
Gu Xin was used to obeying her family. She would only retort once, but she didn’t dare to do it the second time. She nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Gu Shouxin couldn’t help but think of his elder daughter when he saw how obedient Gu Xin was.
The younger daughter was the same as in his memories, but the elder daughter felt a little different!
He had already confirmed his wife. She must have encountered something strange. Perhaps she was the same as him, but he wasn’t sure about the elder daughter.
The main reason was that there wasn’t much about the elder daughter in the original owner’s memories, especially after the elder daughter started doing her own embroidery work. The other party completely ignored the original owner.
He could not help but frown.
