The sun was setting in the west, the smoke was rising, and when it was time to eat, the clever ladies of each family were preparing meals for the old and the young. Some people don't pay much attention to eating, a bowl of braised noodles is enough to fill their stomachs, and some people are different, pay attention to stir-frying a few dishes, there are meat and vegetarian, and then with fragrant white rice, the food is called comfortable. Of course, there is no such condition, it is steamed buns with pickles, which also fills the hungry stomach.

In the small stove room of the ancient family, the steaming white smoke dissipated, and a stream of fragrance followed, this is the taste of dumplings, just smelling this smell, this appetite is greatly increased.

When the first pot of dumplings came out of the pot, Gu Xinghua and Gu Xingan happened to enter the house, the brothers met at the entrance of the village, and Gu Xinghua came back with Mu Haofan and Cui Jinxi, and the three of them agreed on the time to return to school on Sunday, and they went home separately.

Gu Xing'an was still very excited to see his eldest brother, and asked this and that along the way, of course, the most asked was about learning, which made Gu Xinghua, an elder brother, very happy, after all, his younger brother's willingness to work hard in learning is a commendable thing.

No, the two of them have entered the house, Gu Xing'an is still asking his eldest brother questions, this is in normal times, Gu Xing'an smelled the smell of rice, and Zhun Bao jumped into the stove room as soon as possible, this time Gu Xing'an's performance was stunned to make the old man impressed, even Brother Hao, who had just gotten up and got off the kang, was snuggled in his grandfather's arms at this time, but he blinked and looked at his brothers with big eyes, as if he was very curious if his brothers were not hungry? He smelled the dumplings, so fragrant.

The old man looked at the appearance of the brothers, as if he had not eaten this meal, and hurriedly said: "You two go and serve the rice, there are meat dumplings that you two like to eat the most, and your sister has made a lot of them today, and it is not too late for your brother to talk about studying after eating the dumplings." ”

"Hehe, look at me, brother, let's go serve the meal first, and then you can continue to teach me after eating!" Gu Xing'an scratched the back of his head embarrassedly when he heard what his grandfather said, just thinking about asking his eldest brother about the math problems he didn't know, he forgot about eating, and now he was really hungry when his grandfather said it.

Gu Xing'an looked at Hao Hao staring at him and his eldest brother, he stepped forward, rubbed the soft hair on Brother Hao'er's head, and asked with a smile: "Is our family Hao Hao still feverish?" Wait for my brother to finish eating, and take you to play with the eldest brother!"

"Fever?" Gu Xinghua heard his brother's words, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly walked over, hugged Brother Hao'er, and asked Grandpa, "Grandpa, is Hao Hao unwell?"

"I've seen it, it's not burning anymore, but my spirit hasn't recovered yet, and I'll let Uncle Li come over and take a look after eating." Okay, Haohao give it to me, you two go and serve the meal first. The old man looked at the harmonious appearance of the brothers, and the old man smiled with satisfaction.

The brothers looked at Brother Hao'er's expression, and then they invariably lost their breath.

The younger brother was fine, Gu Xing'an was anxious to trot to the stove room, and before he entered the door of the stove room, he heard Gu Xing'an shouting: "Mom, what else do you want to help? ”

"Alright, it would be nice if you didn't do me a favor. Give these two bowls to your grandfather and Hao Hao first, Hao Hao remembered to let him eat slowly, be careful to burn his mouth!" Chen Xinling heard her son's voice, she didn't turn her head, and quickly fished out a bowl of dumplings in her hand and put it on the side, while instructing her son.

"Okay, I'll bring it over, Mom, give me more portions, I'm dying of hunger." Gu Xing'an obediently picked up two bowls of dumplings, and didn't forget to remind his mother when he went out of the stove door, who made the taste of these dumplings too tempting.

"Look at what this kid said, if you haven't eaten in the morning, you can still starve to death!" Chen Xinling heard what her son said, she really couldn't cry or laugh, this stinky boy has grown so big.

"Mom, my brother is like that, he exaggerates a little, he exercises a lot a day, this point says that if he is hungry, he must be hungry, you can give him more." Gu Sisi covered his mouth and smiled secretly, his brother only became so out of tune in front of his own family.

"Yes, I'll just talk casually, you can help your brother speak. Chen Xinling looked at her daughter who was sitting at the stove and said with a smile.

When Gu Xinghua came over, he happened to hear the laughter in the stove room, looking at the people who were busy on the stove, Gu Xinghua rarely showed a sincere smile, "Second aunt, Sisi, hard work." ”

"Brother Hua is back, your second aunt and I didn't do anything, it was all done by Sisi and your grandfather, and the second aunt helped a little. Come, this bowl is yours, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, come back after eating, our dumplings are enough today. Chen Xinling looked at her nephew, who was taller than her, and said with a smile.

"Second aunt, you and Sisi eat first, I'll cook, I'm not hungry at this time. Gu Xinghua pushed the bowl and said with a smile.

"You kid, why are you so polite, we are all a family, your brother is hungry at this point, can you not be hungry? Hurry up and eat it, you see so many dumplings on this case, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat! Sisi also go eat, hurry up!" Chen Xinling stuffed the bowl into Brother Hua'er's hand, pointed to the board next to him, and pretended to be angry.

"Big brother, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, or wait a while, my brother should rob you." Gu Sisi took the rice bowl handed over by her mother, and said to her eldest brother with a smile, but as soon as she spoke, she heard her brother's voice sound, "What am I robbing my eldest brother? Mom, what about my dumplings, I'm dying of hunger!"

Gu Xinghua wanted to say something, but was stopped by his younger brother, but fortunately he didn't say anything, the second aunt was right, they are all family, there is no need to be so polite.

"Now, here you go, come over and serve it after eating, ask your grandfather how much more you can eat, the next pot will be very soon." Chen Xinling didn't know that because of her words, her nephew's mood had changed qualitatively.

"Hey, it's so hot!" Gu Xing'an took the dumplings given by his mother, and hurriedly picked up one of the chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, but he was very happy and sad, the dumplings were too hot, and his mouth was hot!"But it's delicious, hehe! Mom, I still want a bowl, grandpa just said that a bowl is enough for him, and so is Haohao." But why did Hao Hao eat the vegetarian filling?"

"Haohao is not a fever to retreat, it is better to eat something light. Wait for Haohao to be completely well in the past two days, and then make up for him. Chen Xinling spoke, and at the same time put dumplings into the pot to cook, these two children can be more when they grow up.

Covering the pot and waiting for it to boil, Chen Xinling looked at the brothers holding the bowl in the stove room, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, you two go to the hall to eat, don't stay here to occupy space, and call you two later." ”

As soon as the two brothers left, Gu Sisi picked up a dumpling and sent it to her mother's mouth, and watched her mother eat it before she spoke: "Mom, when the brothers finish eating, cook the rest, I want to send some to the master's family and the family." ”

"Cheng, there are a lot of dumplings today, Mom has no opinion, did you tell your grandfather?" Chen Xinling said as she took out a bowl of chicken soup from another pot.

"Grandpa knows, I just think that Brother Zhen Ze and Grandma Cui always send food to our family, and let's make dumplings and send them some, which is more or less a heart. Gu Si thought about it, but still told her mother her thoughts.

"Well, you're doing the right thing. People, you should be grateful for your kindness. Besides, these two families have nothing to say to our family, what food and easy use do we have, and no matter how small the things are, it is also our family's heart. Chen Xinling looked at her daughter and said earnestly.

"Mom, I know everything, don't worry. Gu Sisi nodded, agreeing with the meaning of her mother's words. This person is all sincere for sincere!

"When you grow up, you don't have to worry about it. Eat first, after eating, my mother will mix the dumplings with scallion oil, and send you and your brother over while it is hot. Chen Xinling nodded, the more she looked at her daughter, the more she felt that the world was really fast, and in a blink of an eye, the little doll who was still coquettish in her arms yesterday knew to repay this matter today.

At this end, the old man looked at Brother An, who was gobbling up, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, no one is robbing you, you eat slowly." ”

Gu Xing'an nodded in response to his grandfather's words, but he still didn't slow down the pace of eating, and the old man was speechless when he looked at it, "By the way, Brother An, go to the stove room later, talk to Sisi, cook the rest of the dumplings, you and Sisi send them to the Cui family and the Qi family, and it is more or less our family's heart." ”

"Okay, I'll go with my little sister when I'm done eating. Grandpa, my mother also said that when she came back, she bought three boxes of walnut cakes in Huangji, the county seat, one box for you and my grandmother, and the other two boxes for my master and grandfather's house. Gu Xing'an swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, thinking of what his mother said in the stove room before, and didn't forget to say it to his grandfather.

"It should be, it should be. Usually, our family doesn't eat less snacks made by your grandmother Cui, your mother has a heart. You kid can give the old man a memory, people must remember to return the good you give, and if you can't get benefits, you take it for granted, in this world, no one owes you!"

"Grandpa, I understand! Your grandson, I am not the kind of wolf-hearted person! When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely let you and my master enjoy the blessings!" Gu Xing'an patted his chest and assured with a smile.
