Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 146 My daughter is very cute in a skirt

The cattle farm breeders finished their interviews the day before and announced the personnel list, and they reported to the cattle farm the next morning.

Under Xia Yu's careful guidance, the new recruits made rapid progress. In just two days, they had become accustomed to the work at the cattle farm.

Lin Xiaohe, who had originally hoped that the cattle farm would cease to operate and was waiting for Zhao Baogen to come and invite him, had his hopes completely shattered.

After a two-week adaptation period, the fifty cows are growing very well. The countdown to the Spring Festival has begun.

This is Gu Zhan’s first Spring Festival after his rebirth, and also the first Spring Festival after baby Gu Xinxin was born.

Gu Zhan attached great importance to it and went to the county early to buy light-colored fine cotton cloth, intending to make clothes for the child.

I bought the cotton cloth, but I was at a loss as to what style of clothes to make.

"What kind of clothes do you think we should make for our daughter?" Liu Xiaoxi took the newly bought cloth and gestured up and down on the child.

Ever since having a child, Liu Xiaoxi's attention on dressing up has been diverted to the child. These days, Gu Zhan has been running around in the county town all day, and after coming back, Liu Xiaoxi didn't even ask him if he was cold or hungry, which made Gu Zhan very uncomfortable.

However, Gu Zhan didn't intend to keep it in his heart. He stared at Liu Xiaoxi intently, and his voice was unusually soft: "Wife, don't you care how I spent my day today?"

Liu Xiaoxi paused as she gestured with the fabric, then stood up and looked at Gu Zhan in surprise, "Didn't you bring buns with you when you left this morning?"

Gu Zhan was speechless.

But the current Gu Zhan is the Gu Zhan who has lived for several decades longer, so naturally he would not be as shy as the real 21-year-old Gu Zhan. He stepped forward, pulled Liu Xiaoxi, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, and held her in his arms.

"Wife, you haven't cared about me for a long time. Your mind is all on our daughter."

Liu Xiaoxi glared at Gu Zhan unhappily: "You are definitely jealous of your daughter, aren't you the same?"

Gu Zhan paused. Indeed, because their daughter was born more than ten days early, he and his wife spent a lot of energy on taking care of the child. The previous warmth between the couple had turned into concern for their family in every bit of taking care of their daughter.

A simple and warm life is certainly good, but seeing his wife's care for him decreasing day by day, Gu Zhan feels uncomfortable.

"Wife, I need your care too."

Liu Xiaoxi didn't know she was crying, but she thought about the limited energy she had put into Gu Zhan since her daughter was born. After thinking about it, Liu Xiaoxi said, "Well, I'll pay more attention to you in the future."

Gu Zhan kissed Liu Xiaoxi on the forehead: "Okay, then it's a deal. Don't lie to me."

Liu Xiaoxi never expected that because of her words, Gu Zhan, who had been a vegetarian for half a year, would start eating meat again. This enjoyable meal only came to an end when little Gu Xinxin was awakened by an uncontrollable sound.

The next morning, the couple slept until after nine o'clock.

Under Liu Xiaoxi's puzzled gaze, Gu Zhan took on the responsibility of taking care of his daughter.

The stove in the house was burning brightly with firewood. Liu Xiaoxi continued to read at the table, while Gu Zhan held his daughter in one hand and wrote and drew on a piece of paper with the other.

While drinking water, Liu Xiaoxi saw Gu Zhan drawing. Driven by curiosity, she stood up and took a look. She saw the outline of a small skirt on the drawing.

She curiously asked Gu Zhan, "Can you also draw clothes?"

Gu Zhan looked up when he heard the voice and saw Liu Xiaoxi looking at the paper in his hand with curiosity.

“No, I’m still learning!”

Gu Zhan smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know how to draw clothes, but Liu Xiaoxi reminded him last night when she asked him what clothes to make for his daughter. He could try to draw a pattern and make a piece of clothing for his daughter based on the styles of clothes that children in future generations would wear.

I had nothing else to do in the morning, so I drew some blueprints.

Liu Xiaoxi tilted her head, pulled the paper out from under Gu Zhan's hand, and began to read it. After a while, she asked in surprise, "Is this a skirt?"

Gu Zhan nodded, not understanding why. "Yeah, my daughter looks cute in a skirt."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing, and as she laughed, her eyes burst out laughing.

As smart as Gu Zhan was, he still hadn't figured out the crux of the matter. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's the problem?"

Liu Xiaoxi finally managed to hold back her laughter. She pointed at the paper in her hand and said, "Gu Zhan, have you forgotten how old your daughter is? She's only two months old. Hahaha, how can she wear a skirt at two months old?"

Gu Zhan frowned and thought for a long time, searching his memory. The children wearing skirts he had seen seemed to be able to walk already. As for whether a child over two months old could wear a skirt, he really didn't know.

"It's wearable!" Gu Zhan said confidently.

Liu Xiaoxi simply burst into laughter. Gu Xinxin heard the sound and widened her big black eyes, looking at her mother curiously.

Gu Zhan saw his daughter's eyes and raised his arm a little higher so that his daughter could fully see her mother.

Seeing Gu Zhan's move, Liu Xiaoxi suppressed her laughter, placed the drawing in front of Gu Zhan, and took the curious daughter from his hands.

But then again, she had only mentioned it casually yesterday, but Gu Zhan took it to heart. Liu Xiaoxi was still very touched by this.

However, considering that Gu Zhan was too proud last night, she didn't plan to express the little emotion in her heart to him today.

The couple finally discussed it and decided to make a small cotton-padded jacket with the piece of fine cotton cloth in their hands. It was very cold at that time, so it could be worn. Liu Xiaoxi suggested putting the remaining cloth aside for the time being. After all, such a young child changes every day, and many clothes will become too small to wear before they are properly worn.

As for making clothes, Huang Guihua originally planned to do it herself, but under Liu Xiaoxi's strong suggestion, Huang Guihua was responsible for cutting and Liu Xiaoxi personally sewed.

Since the cattle farm re-selected the breeding staff, Zhao Baogen has been in charge of all other matters. Zhao Baogen will only come to ask him when he encounters some difficult problems. The rest of the matters will be handled by Zhao Baogen and Xia Yu for the time being.

Gu Zhan was waiting for Guo Zhida and others to completely withdraw the research team members to Shanghe Village.

I have already spoken to Guo Zhida on the phone before. The original experimental base has basically completed the finishing work, and we will just wait until after the New Year to move all the equipment and other things to Shanghe Village.

When Xia Yu learned the news, he was greatly surprised and shocked. It turned out that what Team Leader Guo said was true, and they really did not exile him to Shanghe Village.
