Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away-Chapter 77 - Seventy-seven ready to set off_1

Gu Chen served up three bowls of porridge and also heated up oil to fry three eggs.

Only then did he carry the breakfast towards the living room, just as Tiantian and Ji Pianran emerged.

Seeing this, Ji Pianran hurried to lift the door curtain to make it easier for Gu Chen to enter.

Tiantian followed behind Ji Pianran, bouncing along excitedly.

The family of three officially began their breakfast, and Tiantian, unable to wait, quickly spooned a mouthful of Matsutake Porridge into her mouth.

It was soft and glutinous with a fresh aroma, simply unforgettable in its taste.

The delicacy brought a bright sparkle to the little girl’s eyes.

“Mommy, it’s so tasty, eat quickly!”

After finishing her sentence, she even stuck out her tongue to lick the grains of rice stuck at the corner of her mouth.

The little girl’s cute behavior made both Ji Pianran and Gu Chen chuckle.

The morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm rays on the small wooden table.

There was an aura of coziness in this somewhat shabby little house.

Ji Pianran played along and took a spoonful. Indeed, it was really delicious!

She blinked and with a curious expression, asked, “What is this?”

Gu Chen smiled mysteriously, “This? It’s the mushrooms that you insisted on buying the other day.”

Mushrooms?

Ji Pianran raised her eyebrows, trying to remember.

Then she nodded her head, “Oh.”

She uttered, and then scooped another spoonful of porridge to her mouth.

She hadn’t expected that the mushrooms would be this delicious.

Her long, thick eyelashes fluttered with every blink, like two butterflies ready to take flight.

Her small cherry lips looked as if they were enjoying a feast as she carefully savored the “mushroom porridge” that Gu Chen had made.

Her appearance was captivating and beautiful.

Gu Chen’s heart skipped a beat, “Does it taste good?”

Ji Pianran nodded earnestly, her eyes shining, “It tastes good.”

Looking at Ji Pianran and Tiantian, both satisfied in front of him, Gu Chen felt an indescribable happiness.

“Wife, actually, you’re really good for my fortune!”

At these words, Ji Pianran’s hand holding the spoon to her mouth instantly trembled, almost spilling the porridge.

Then a delicate blush spread across her soft cheeks.

It was as if she had dusted them with rouge, extremely pretty.

This Gu Chen!

Yesterday he mentioned a second child, and today he’s talking about good fortune!

What is he up to!? And in front of the child, too—how can he be so shameless!

She shot Gu Chen a glare and chided, “You’re terrible!”

The Ji Pianran in front of him was nothing like the invincible mother, but completely like a girl in the first throes of love.

Her coy shyness made Gu Chen even more tempted to tease her.

He looked at Ji Pianran mockingly, “What’s wrong? Isn’t being praised for bringing fortune a good thing? Don’t you want to be good for my fortune?”

Ji Pianran’s face flushed, her shy eyes veiled with steam, “You’re still talking!”

Gu Chen knew that if he teased her any longer, Ji Pianran would truly die of embarrassment.

He chuckled, “Seriously, last time you told me to go to the hospital to sell goji berries, I listened, and earned a small profit. This time, you insisted on buying shiitake mushrooms, and when I took a closer look after getting back, I realized that they weren’t shiitake mushrooms at all, but Matsutake.”

Matsutake?

Ji Pianran’s eyelids twitched.

“The Matsutake that can fight cancer?”

A tremor ran through Gu Chen’s heart.

He looked at Ji Pianran in disbelief, “You know about this?”

Intuition told him that Ji Pianran couldn’t be a refugee; her background must have other secrets.

Honestly, the more he spent time with Ji Pianran day and night, the more he felt that there were many mysteries about her.

Her care for Tangtang was incredibly thorough, that strong maternal love, it just didn’t seem feigned.

But, it was such a child-loving person.

Who just on the second day of the new year, today, left her child behind and walked away.

In his past life, Gu Chen was indeed a bastard, he admitted it, and he didn’t even mind if the world cursed him with the vilest words.

After all, it was his own doing.

However, if Ji Pianran truly only hated him, she could have taken Tangtang with her when she left.

Why leave Tangtang behind?

In his past life, when he learned that Ji Pianran had left, Gu Chen stood in the phone booth, his mind thundering.

Even his hands and feet felt numb, and his heart was seized with stabbing pain.

Thinking back now still made him shudder.

Memories and reality crossed, and once again an inexplicable sharp pain arose in his chest.

Noticing Gu Chen’s pallid complexion, Ji Pianran was startled.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

“What’s wrong?”

Her voice brought Gu Chen back to reality.

He took a deep breath and managed a forced smile, “Nothing.”

The question he wanted to ask still didn’t have the courage to come out.

He wasn’t seeking to uncover the truth, but just hoping that she would stay safe and healthy by his side.

To give himself a chance at redemption.

Seeing that Gu Chen was alright, Ji Pianran also relaxed, and she spoke lightly, “I heard people say that Matsutake can fight cancer, but it’s very expensive.”

Gu Chen picked up the conversation, “Exactly, so it’s true that you bring good fortune to your husband!”

These Matsutake, as long as they are grown in my own space, their value would absolutely double. Making six to seven thousand is definitely not a problem.

And if they can be propagated in that space, the earnings could be tremendous.

Hearing this, Ji Pianran’s lips quivered, and she broke into a smile.

As beautiful as a fairy stepping out of a painting.

She had not expected that by simply wanting to buy some shiitake mushrooms, she would end up getting Matsutake!

You should know, Matsutake is really expensive.

Back in the Qing Dynasty, it was something only the emperor and those noble families could afford to eat.

“Then you should just go ahead and sell them, you’d get quite a lot of money.”

“I’ve already got plans. I know someone really good at cultivation in the city, I want to see if these Matsutake can be grown if it’s possible, we might be able to get a house in the city!”

Right now, city houses aren’t cheap at all, one costs about sixty to seventy thousand. Gu Chen says it could get us a house.

That means earning sixty to seventy thousand!

Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen in shock, “Is that feasible?”

Gu Chen chuckled, “Of course, don’t worry, I’m skilled at selling vegetables!”

…

After eating, the family of three locked the door, all neat and tidy, and headed toward Gu Chen’s mother’s home.

It was just in the next village.

Gu Chen carried Tangtang, with his left hand also carrying some stuff.

Ji Pianran followed behind holding gift boxes; at a glance, it was clear they were going to pay a New Year’s visit.

They encountered quite a few villagers on the road.

“You see, Gu Chen and Ji Pianran carrying so much stuff, looks like this couple is really doing well, huh?”

“Isn’t that the truth, I found it so odd, Gu Chen came back this year, and he’s just completely changed, taking such good care of his wife and kid, that doesn’t even seem like him.”

“Let’s mind our own business.”
