Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Haven’t Seen You for a Day, and You’re Even Prettier

Qin Yuelan put down her basket and wiped her hands vigorously on her clothes before finally reaching out to take the money.

“How… how much is this?”

“One thousand yuan!”

“O-one thousand yuan?”

Qin Yuelan’s voice trembled so much she nearly bit her own tongue, and even her hands started shaking as she held the money.

A thousand yuan!

She’d never even dared to dream of having so much money, let alone actually owning it.

No one laughed at Qin Yuelan’s reaction. Anyone who suddenly got that much money would probably act the same way.

Gu Jianguo patted Qin Yuelan on the shoulder. “Alright, put the money away and hurry up and make lunch! Fourth Brother’s been running around with me all morning—we’re starving.”

Qin Yuelan nodded repeatedly at his words. “I’ll cook, I’ll cook! I’ll go make lunch right now! Here, you hold onto the money! I’m off to cook!”

With that, she shoved the money into Gu Jianguo’s arms, grabbed her basket, and hurried off.

There was so much money—she wouldn’t feel safe leaving it anywhere! Better to let Gu Jianguo keep it!

Watching Qin Yuelan practically run away, Xu Shuhua couldn’t help but laugh.

She’s already a mother, but sometimes she still acts like a young girl.

Then she glanced at Gu Jianguo, who was grinning like an idiot. Well!

It’s just like the old saying goes: birds of a feather flock together. These two really are a perfect match!

With all this going on, Xu Shuhua didn’t insist on going home anymore. She turned to Yu Hai and asked, “Did you all come straight here after you got back?”

“We took a detour and passed by our house. Big Brother and the others weren’t back yet, so I called my dad to lock up and come over. He should be here soon!”

Xu Shuhua nodded. “Alright then, go wash your hands and face, play with Nuanbao for a bit. I’ll go help Yuelan with the preparations.”

The chickens, ducks, and fish were all still alive and needed to be cleaned up—Qin Yuelan couldn’t handle it all by herself.

Yu Hai quickly washed his hands and face, then came back and scooped Yu Nuannuan into his arms. “Nuanbao! Haven’t seen you all morning, and you’re even prettier!”

Hearing that, Yu Nuannuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

How come she’d never noticed before that Yu Hai could be so smooth-talking?

Was he like this with just her, or did he say this to all kids?

Yu Hai carried Yu Nuannuan over to sit under a tree, then looked at Gu Mo, who was sitting properly on a little stool. “Daibao! Haven’t seen you for a day, and you’re even prettier!”

Yu Nuannuan: “……”

Alright, she got it—her dad just couldn’t help but sweet-talk any cute kid he saw!

Gu Mo looked at Yu Hai and thanked him very seriously. “Thank you, Fourth Grandpa.”

Yu Hai had just been complimenting him without thinking, but hearing Gu Mo’s earnest thanks, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, Yu Hai waved his hand with a smile. “No need to thank me, I’m just telling the truth.”

Not really knowing what to say to such a little kid, Yu Hai turned his attention back to Yu Nuannuan.

He noticed the little pocket on her belly was bulging, as if something was stuffed inside, and immediately grew curious.

“Nuanbao, what do you have in there? Don’t tell me it’s money?”

Even though it had been a while, Yu Hai still remembered how Yu Nuannuan used to stuff money into her little pocket.

Being exposed in front of Gu Mo made Yu Nuannuan blush a little. She shot Yu Hai a glare.

Yu Hai didn’t notice at all. He reached into her little pocket and pulled out what was inside.

It was the last two cherry tomatoes.

The smell made Yu Hai’s mouth water, and he popped both tomatoes into his mouth at once.

After chewing a couple of times, he couldn’t help but praise them from the heart: “Sweet!”"
