The Real Rich Daughter is a Future Genius Scientist

42 Back to Dongshan

In the next few days, all kinds of gifts and banquet decorations were sent to the Guo family.

The Guos also tailored gowns for the three children, and Guo Miao’s and Guo Lin’s dresses were just as extravagant.

A dress didn’t cost much, and the Guos wouldn’t misappropriate Guo Miao in such a manner anyway.

Guo Miao simply tried it on and put it aside when she saw that there was no problem with it.

It was a long blue dress with pearls and sapphires embellished on the top. The dress was made of fine yarn and silk, and it sparkled beautifully.

She wasn’t very interested in banquets, and she was even less interested in these lovely dresses.

In the interstellar era a few hundred years later, 3D printing and modeling were the most basic techniques. As long as one drew a dress before their cup of coffee in the morning, the dress would be churned out by the 3D printer before the coffee was finished.

As for the banquet, she was even less interested in such events that were full of hypocrisy and business.

The banquet this time was just an excuse to introduce her to Guo Lin to the children of the major aristocratic families, and then Guo Ming would talk about business. Such a place had little to do with her.

Although Cheng Yu had given her a few invitation cards and told her that she could invite some of her close classmates, she didn’t have anyone she wanted to invite.

As she thought of this, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She packed her bag and went downstairs.

Guo Lin was trying on a dress in the living room. Her dress was similar to Guo Miao’s, but her dress was pink, a typical favorite of little girls. The pink color set off her fair skin, making her look very delicate.

When she saw Guo Miao come out, she sneered, “Why aren’t you wearing a dress? Do none fit? The fabric of this kind of dress is thinner, so don’t ruin it if you’re clumsy.”

Guo Miao ignored her and looked at Cheng Yu. “I’m going out for a while.”

“Where are you going? I have to sort out the schedule for the banquet today.” Cheng Yu stood up to stop Guo Miao.

“I’ve seen it all. There’s no problem. There won’t be any mistakes,” Guo Miao said perfunctorily. “I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Cheng Yu wanted to stop Guo Miao, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Guo Miao would really quit at the last minute and run back to Dongshan mountain. In the end, she sat down and said, “Then, you should come back soon. Don’t stay out too late.”

Guo Miao didn’t pay any attention to Cheng Yu and directly walked out of the main door.

She booked a bus ticket back to Dongshan. She wasn’t really going back to avoid the banquet but to pick up her brother and father.

Since it was such an important event, she wanted to let Guo Fu and Xuxu experience it.

Upon arriving in Dongshan, it was not yet time for school to end. Guo Miao stood at the village entrance and saw smoke rising from the kitchen.

When she reached home, the young Xuxu was lighting a fire in front of the stove. The black smoke had blackened his face, and he looked silly.

“Xuxu, school isn’t over yet. Why are you back already?”

Guo Miao hurriedly walked over and carried Xuxu to the side. She helped Xuxu wash his face and started the fire.

“Why are you lighting the fire? Where’s Dad?”

Xuxu was stunned when he saw Guo Miao. He pounced on her. “Sister, you’re back!”

The ash from the coal mixed with his tears, painting his face.

Guo Miao laughed as she used the water from the well to help Xuxu wash away the dust on her face.

“Since the fishing ban will be in force in two days, Dad said he wanted to work more, so he can’t come back until the afternoon,” Xuxu explained.

“Cao Cao, who lives next door, was the one who cooked for me, but he’s sick today, so I’m cooking for myself.”

Children of this age had never even held a spatula before, let alone cook.

Guo Miao’s heart ached as she patted Xuxu’s head. “I’ll take you out for dinner. Stop cooking.”

Guo Miao brought Xuxu to a small restaurant in the village and ordered a few takeaway dishes. There were sweet and sour meatballs and mixed corn, all of which were Xuxu’s favorite. She even bought a soda for Xuxu.

She had also bought a few dishes to go with wine for Guo Fu to eat when he came back.

Xuxu saw that Guo Miao had bought so many ingredients and was curious. “Sister, are you rich now? You even got me a soda.”

“Yes.” Guo Miao nodded.

She had used her own money to buy things for her family, not the Guos’ money.

When they reached home, Guo Miao placed the dishes on a plate and ate with Xuxu.

Someone in the village saw Guo Miao and went to the beach to call Guo Fu back, saying that his daughter had returned from the city.

Guo Fu walked home worriedly, concerned that Guo Miao had been driven out by the Guos.
