"Sister, I'm back."

With a crisp shout, Gu Xiaojie rushed in with sweat and mud, and threw himself into Gu Xiaoqing's arms, his face was so black that he couldn't see what he looked like.

The whole thing is a cat face.

Gu Xiaoqing's heart softened, and while scolding, he still hugged Gu Xiaojie's soft body tightly, his five-year-old brother, at this time, was still a lively and naughty little boy, and he had not yet become the skinny sick man who was tormented by the disease.

I scooped a ladle of water from the basin that was already hot on the stove and poured it into the basin, the iron basin that had almost too many holes in it.

Mix with some cool water.

"You naughty ghost, why did you only come back now, be careful that our dad saw and beat you."

While gently washing Gu Xiaojie's hands and face, Gu Xiaojie's face looked white and clean, like a person, and the basin of water was also black as if it had been washed with briquettes.

Gu Xiaojie was not afraid of his father, stuck out his tongue, and said naughtily: "Our father won't beat me, if you want to beat me, our milk will do it." Then I'm not afraid. ”

Then he obediently sat down in front of the stove, smelled the aroma wafting out of the cauldron, took two breaths, and resigned himself to adding firewood.

"You, when you see our milk, stay away, last time because I chased and beat you, after breaking my leg, my grandmother didn't like you, don't go up and find it uncomfortable." Gu Xiaoqing lifted the lid of the pot, took out the black flour steamed buns out of the pot, put them on the grate to dry, and then her parents could eat them when they came back.

Pour out the hot water in the cauldron, wash the pot, and boil the hot water, so that parents can come back and wash it properly, after all, there is not much water in the basin on the stove, and it is impossible for three people to wash.

The paste in the small pot had already boiled, Gu Xiaoqing poured it into the basin, covered it, and washed the small pot.

Add a little oil and start sautéing the shredded rodishes.

Stir-fry the red peppers, a stream of fragrance wafted out, pour the shredded radish into the pot, stir-fry, then add a little salt, and soy sauce, and after a quick stir-fry, it was put into a porcelain basin.

This is the pot that Gu Ruhai's family usually holds vegetables.

Gu Xiaoqing brought it to the table in the hall, this is the room where her parents live, and it is quite spacious, so a table is set up here for the family to eat.

Gu Xiaojie smelled the fragrance, followed behind Gu Xiaoqing with a blank eye, and asked, "Second sister, second sister, what are you doing delicious today, it's so fragrant." I am hungry. ”

That pitiful look, in fact, Gu Xiaoqing knows how good this baby is, and she wants to be soft-hearted at this time.

broke a piece of black steamed bread with his hand, split it in half in the middle of the steamed bread, and then clamped a chopstick radish shred, pinched the steamed bread tightly, and handed it to Gu Xiaojie, who let this be his youngest brother.

Besides, this is really not a good thing, compared with the big fish and meat of the second and third uncles, my own radish shreds are not allowed to be eaten by the younger brother.

Gu Xiaojie happily took the steamed bun in her sister's hand, took a big bite, and sighed with satisfaction: "Second sister, how can you be good at cooking today." It's delicious. ”

As soon as he sat on the doorway railing.

Gu Xiaoqing was about to count the stinky boy who dared to make fun of himself, when he heard the sound at the gate.

"What's so delicious?"

Gu Xiaoqing walked out quickly, just in time to see her mother Li Xuemei, who she had not seen for almost ten years, at this time Li Xuemei had not been weighed down by the burden of life, and she did not have those thick white hair and wrinkles on her face, she was a thin rural woman in the prime of life.

He was removing the hoe from his shoulder and asked his son who was sitting on the doorrail.

"Mom, Dad, you're back."

Gu Xiaoqing quickly said hello, but her voice choked unconsciously, and she quickly turned around and went into the kitchen in disguise, scooped hot water from the pot and poured it into the big basin just now.

A tear slid down the heat into the basin and disappeared into the steaming heat.

Wiped the corners of his eyes.

Gu Xiaoqing came out with a basin with cold water and put it on the steps under the eaves, where she was just washing her face.

"Mom, Dad, sister, wash your face. The meal is ready, you can wash and eat it quickly, or you will be eaten by this gluttonous cat in a while. ”

The brisk tone concealed the sadness and pain of his relatives at first sight.

"Yo, Xiaoqing, why don't you wait for your mother and sister to come back to cook, you are a child, you have to pick up corn, clean up the yard, and cook again, it's too hard."

Gu Ruhai is an honest rural man, and when he saw his daughter doing so many things, he was distressed for a long time.

"Yes, Qing'er, why don't you wait for me and your sister to come back and do it."

Li Xuemei also complained with a face, seeing that her little girl was so intimate and cooked, she felt uncomfortable.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, but their own children are really following their parents like themselves, and they have not enjoyed a day of happiness, and they are all in charge of the house early at a young age.

Hey, it's also my own inability to be a father.

Li Xuemei sighed in her heart.

The rumbling thunder made the family's originally somewhat depressed atmosphere immediately warm.

Gu Ruhai beckoned to the eldest girl and said, "Xiaoying, hurry up and find out the plastic sheet, I'll go to the room and lay it out for us, otherwise we won't even be able to eat for a while." ”

Before Gu Xiaoying could open her legs, Gu Xiaoqing hurriedly said, "Dad, don't go, I've already laid it out." Hurry up and wash and eat, or you will have to go into the house and wash your face in a while. ”

Then he went to the kitchen room without looking back, picked up a pot of steamed buns from the grate, took it out, put it on the table, and then went to serve the bowl.

Li Xuemei washed it in three or two clicks, threw down the towel, and followed Gu Xiaoqing to the kitchen, took the hot corn paste in the basin, took a stack of bowls in one hand, and said to the father and daughter at the door with a smile: "Don't look, Qing'er, this ability is really big, I not only picked up corn, but also made so much food, and even the roof was paved, not to mention, this neat hand and foot is a bit of the energy I had when I was a girl." ”

Gu Ruhai smiled, washed his face, walked into the hall, and on the table, he smiled even more: "Okay, Xiaoqing, this craft is delicious to look at, and it smells fragrant." ”

Gu Xiaojie had already run to Gu Ruhai, raised the steamed bun in his hand, and said vaguely: "Okay...... Thorn, second sister,...... Do ...... Good...... Times. ”

The whole family laughed.

This baby!

Gu Xiaoqing really wanted to cover her face.

The family sat down at the dinner table, it was pouring rain outside, and the hall was warm and happy.

Gu Xiaoqing's eyes were red, and she secretly swore that no one could take away the happiness of our family lightly this time.
