Chapter 126: New Year's Gift
This year's New Year's gift was given by Gu Huachen with Jing Kewu. The New Year's gifts for the elders of the clan are still the same as the old, candy, pastries, cloth and a five-pound piece of air-dried meat.
What is surprising is that Xiao Xuan received a new New Year's gift this year, which is from Kanto Studies.
Early in the morning, Guan Dongming accompanied his younger brother Guan Dongxue to the small courtyard of Xiao Xuan's house.
At this time, Gu Zi'an and Jing Kewu were standing under the eaves of the wooden house, and Gu Huachen was holding a wooden stick and poking Gu Zi'an's leg: "Shoulder-to-shoulder, squat, you have to save effort, fortunately, don't practice, if you really want to be a soldier, you will also be sent to death." ”
Gu Zi'an looked at Gu Huachen with tears in his eyes, lowered his head and moved his feet slightly, and looked up at Gu Huachen again.
Auntie is the most 'eating' look, but Uncle Mao is indifferent!
Jing Kewu on the side watched Gu Zi'an being trained, and smiled like an oil stealing rat.
"Isn't it funny, if you think it's funny, go to the village and run two laps first!" Gu Huachen's stick poked Jing Kewu's thigh mercilessly.
"Whew... You want to murder!" Jing Kewu howled, but his body didn't dare to move.
"Murder, murder you, I really don't cut it!" Gu Huachen looked at Jing Kewu from head to foot with disdain, "Starting tomorrow, I will go to the river every day to fetch water until all the four large tanks at home are filled!"
Xiao Xuan, who was making breakfast in the kitchen, smiled happily, "Well, this trick is ruthless!"
You must know that these four vats were re-refined by Gu Huachen later when he had nothing to do, and they were the vats that blessed the formation. Ahaha, it's all full, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to fight for a day with Jing Kewu!"
"Little uncle, is my sister-in-law at home?" Guan Dongming and Guan Dongxue waited until Gu Huachen stopped training before they spoke.
Gu Huachen actually knew that these two boys were coming, and he didn't pay attention to them all the time, and he also had the intention of testing.
"Why are you two here on such a cold day?Your sister-in-law is in the kitchen, come and warm up first!" Gu Huachen beckoned the brothers into the house.
"Little uncle," these two boys probably don't have any relatives, so they followed a few children from Zhao Yuan's family to call their sister-in-law addicted, "My brother and I are here to give my sister-in-law a New Year's gift!"
"Yo, you two children are here to give New Year's gifts, let me put my face where to go!" Xiao Xuan beckoned the two of them into the kitchen, the kitchen was cooking, and it was warm.
"Sister-in-law, isn't it time for juniors to honor their elders during the Chinese New Year! We follow You'an to call you sister-in-law, aren't we your juniors!" Kanto Xue tilted his head and looked at Xiao Xuan with a serious face.
"Sister-in-law, we don't have any good things in our family, thanks to the care of the village chief and uncle this year, our brothers can also have a full meal, this is the eggs laid by our chickens, for you!" Guan Dongming, as an elder brother, is not very old, only sixteen years old, but his temperament is also upright, and he directly explained his intentions.
Xiao Xuan and Gu Huachen glanced at each other, Gu Huachen nodded at Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan looked down at about twenty eggs, and happily accepted them.
"Then sister-in-law wants to thank you brothers, you haven't eaten yet, just eat breakfast at sister-in-law's place and then go home." Xiao Xuan looked at these two children, there were no adults at home, they were still torn jackets and pants, and hurriedly beckoned them to eat.
"Sister-in-law, you saved my life, and my life will be yours in the future!" Guan Dongming was about to kneel down as soon as his knees bent.
Xiao Xuan's divine sense didn't want to be used here, but after all, he was a cultivator, and Guan Dongming couldn't kneel down at a thought.
Xiao Xuan put away the smile on his face, didn't help Guan Dongming, held his big belly, and sat at the kitchen table: "You two listen to me, I am a doctor, and the so-called doctor has no enemies, benefactors, men, or women in his eyes, only patients in his eyes."
If I want someone else's life because I save someone, then what will happen to me? You know how to be grateful, and I am very pleased, but I don't want such gratitude! Because this is what I should do!
I don't pity you either, because everyone has their own destiny. Only when you are strong can you live a good life!
If so, you don't understand what I'm saying now, it's okay, when you grow up, you'll know it slowly!
"I don't kneel, but I still want to thank my sister-in-law, thank you sister-in-law for saving my life!" Guan Dongming had a lot of tears and snot, and his knees were half-bent, and he didn't stand up straight until this time and said loudly.
"I know, sister-in-law! I want to be a doctor in the future, and I want to be able to save people like my sister-in-law!" Until this time, 'being a good doctor' in Kanto School's heart has really become his life's goal.
"I want my brother to have food and clothes to wear, and I want to work hard to make money for my younger brother to study so that he can study medicine!"
"Okay, you're all good boys, now go and wash your face, wash your face and come over for dinner together." Xiao Xuan didn't want to be sad with a few little children in the morning of Xiao Nian, so he hurried to let them wash and wash, so he started eating.
Breakfast was soybean milk porridge with mushroom meat buns, and the brothers were very restrained at first, but later they watched Gu Zi'an and Jing Kewu, who entered the house after practice, eat the fragrant fragrance, and then slowly let go of the restraints.
When Gu Huachen sent the two boys out of the yard, he took out two cotton gloves from his arms,
"This is what your sister-in-law made for you, you take it. There is no adult in your family, if there is an emergency, the village chief and the branch secretary are closer to your house, go there to call someone, if it is not very urgent, come here to find me. ”
Gu Huachen felt the eager gaze of these two boys when they watched Gu Zi'an and Jing Kewu practice before, and when Guan Dongming failed to kneel, he had the idea of accepting apprentices.
These two people are orphans without a father or mother, and they can be used when they are brought out in the future, and they don't have to worry about anything, but they still need to test their character again before they can decide.
————
In the New Year of 1972, a large family spent time at Xiao Xuan's house.
Jing Kewen didn't come this year, but Gu Huachen went to Jing Kewen's unit, and after throwing down a bunch of New Year's goods openly, he rushed back to the north of the town.
The old lady and Zhang Yueyue are full of every day, except for cooking two meals a day, the rest of the time is either making small clothes or knitting small sweaters for the baby in Xiao Xuan's belly.
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Huachen first took the old lady to the house, and then went to pick up several other elders, while Xiao Xuan had already made a lot of dumplings and large meat buns in the kitchen, and the French bread and Russian whole wheat bread she had been thinking about for a long time were baked in the oven.
A large group of people were sitting around the dining room next to the kitchen chatting, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, Gu Zi'an's white and red face was eating pine nut candy with his mouth pursed, and he had long since lost the sallow face he had when he first came in the morning.
Jing Kewu opened the easel and was concentrating on painting the scene in front of him, he wanted to record this warm moment.
Xiao Xuan accompanied Gu Huachen in the kitchen and helped him. The ingredients had been prepared in the space as early as the night before, and they had been placed on the kitchen table early this morning. Those that are steamed and stewed are already in the pot in the morning. At this time, the kitchen is full of aromas.
"Xiao Chenzi, it's a pity that you said you didn't go to be a chef. The dishes on this table, it is estimated that the chefs of five-star hotels can't compare to you!" Xiao Xuan fished a piece of freshly baked smoked fish and gnawed it with relish.
Gu Huachen held the wok, "I'm only interested in burning it for you, I think I'll cook it for you at that time!"
Xiao Xuan: 'Are you being teased?'
