Gu Lan didn't ignore his every move, and when she saw his eyes, she walked over with her sister in her arms, put down the beads, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to try to hug her?" ”

Pearl's little hand grasped her sister's clothes, looking small and well-behaved.

She's not clean, she's dark, but she's cute.

Aji glanced at Gu Lan, tentatively stretched out his hand, and tapped a little bead with his fingertips.

Then he shook Gu Lan's hand.

Gu Lan was startled, only to see Aji touching the back of her rough hand, as if she was touching some rare treasure.

Love.

Zhu'er's eyes widened, this fool actually took advantage of his sister!

Then he raised his fist and tried to punch Aggie.

Old Man Shao's voice came from outside the door.

"Aji, Gu girl, eat!"

A gust of autumn wind blew, the smell of food lingered on the tip of several people's noses, and the ringing in their stomachs became even more severe, Zhu'er put down his hand, covered his stomach and swallowed saliva.

Gu Lan pulled Aji, hugged her sister, and walked out with her two younger brothers.

Seeing Gu Lan and Aji's hands together, a trace of surprise flashed in Old Man Shao's eyes.

But as if he hadn't seen it, he smiled and asked Gu Lan and the others to sit down.

Aji also sat down next to Gu Lan, he used a ceramic bowl, which looked crystal clear, and Gu Lan and the others used a wooden bowl.

Everyone's bowl is full of millet rice, which is distinct and non-sticky, and the taste is not too good.

But for the children of the Gu family, this is already a delicacy that they haven't eaten for the first time in a year!

Not to mention the three dishes on the table, dried bamboo shoots in spring, steamed pork, and a stir-fried vegetable moss, each dish is very willing to put oil, it looks oily, exuding a delicious atmosphere.

Zhu'er and Liang'er swallowed their saliva incessantly.

Zhu'er hugged Gu Lan very tightly, and Gu Lan also felt like a beast in her belly tearing her stomach and making her feast.

But without Gu Lan's order, none of the children dared to put down the chopsticks.

Old man Shao saw everything in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold." ”

Aji picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth one by one, which was more like playing than eating.

He didn't look at the few dishes, and Old Man Shao's face was sad.

Gu Lan put down her reserve, nodded and said, "Grandpa Shao, then we're welcome." ”

Then he told his two younger brothers: "One person can only eat one piece of meat, otherwise his stomach will not be able to stand it." ”

I don't know how long the children haven't touched the meat, Gu Lan is just afraid that their stomachs will not be able to stand it.

After that, he turned the chopsticks back, used the chopsticks to grab a piece of meat for each of his two younger brothers, and also put a piece in his bowl.

Zhu'er was too young to bite the meat, but she was greedy, pointing at the meat and babbling quietly, leaving a trace of crystal saliva at the corner of her mouth.

Gu Lan nodded her nose and tore off a strand of meat for her to pinch and taste it.

The two younger brothers didn't eat the meat first, and they pulled the millet vigorously, but their eyes were straight to the meat.

Old man Shao didn't speak for the whole meal, the dinner table was very silent, and after eating, Gu Lan and the others also restrained themselves from adding food.

After they were all finished, Zhu'er and Liang'er began to clean up the mess.

Old man Shao nodded faintly.

"You don't say anything, you teach your two younger brothers very well."

Gu Lan was praised again, her face was full of waves, but she felt funny in her heart.

Where is her teaching good, it's just that she is too restrained in Old Man Shao's house.

Gu Lan is not a fool, she can naturally see that Old Man Shao's kindness to Aji is not ordinary, this kind of goodness is not like a grandfather treating his grandson.

It's more like something.

She glanced at Old Man Shao's movements, and even when he was sitting, he seemed to let Aji, as if he was more noble.

After eating, Gu Lan was not in a hurry to leave, and promised to accompany Aji for a day, and to count her words.

She carefully observed the way the grandparents and grandchildren got along, and the old man Shao continued to chop wood, pack up the prey, and come in from time to time to add some tea to their table and check on Aji's situation.

But he never regarded himself as a grandfather.

Aji's attitude towards him is not as close as his grandson's treatment of his grandfather.

It wasn't until the sun went down that Gu Lan asked to leave.

She thanked Old Man Gu again, and didn't want to stay for dinner.

Old Man Shao didn't expect her to be so stubborn, so he could only let a few of them go back.

When Gu Lan gradually moved away with her younger brothers and sisters, Old Man Shao always stood there and watched, muttering in his mouth: "This woman has a strong heart, if I really have something wrong......

After leaving Old Man Shao's house, Gu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so strange that in such a poor and backward mountain village, the appearance of such a mysterious ancestor and grandson as Old Man Shao gave her a feeling of danger.

Hopefully it's just a delusion on her part.

After all, for Gu Lan now, survival is the biggest problem.

She didn't want to make trouble, so she thought that it would be best to stay away from Old Man Shao in the future.

Dinner was still a mushy wild vegetable, with two handfuls of wild vegetables given by Li Dani, Gu Lan didn't let her two younger brothers look for vegetables.

Wild vegetables were cooked in clay pots, and the four brothers and sisters took turns to eat a bite as they did yesterday, and their stomachs were full.

Zhu'er leaned against the wall, and the little adult said in one breath: "It's still easy at home, but in Grandpa Shao's house, why is it so awkward." ”

"Maybe it's because we're too poor to do anything, and we can't do it." Liang Er came to a sentence of divine mending the knife.

Gu Lan listened to the emotion of her two younger brothers, and said with a smile: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nests, and it is better for my father and mother to have them." ”

"If you want to straighten your back in front of others, you must rely on your own skills."

Gu Lan took the opportunity to educate her two younger brothers.

The pillars and beams are like pounded garlic.

Filling her stomach, Gu Lan asked her younger brothers to look at Zhu'er and go to the creek behind to check the situation by herself.

The creek is not too deep, the water is crystal clear, and dozens of catties of cassava soaked in the water will not be washed away.

But soon, Gu Lan found that there were a few belly-flapping fish around cassava!

The small fish is just the size of a palm, and its belly is turned upside down, thinking that cassava is poisonous, Gu Lan quickly reacted, it is estimated that the toxicity of cassava soaking poisoned the fish swimming by!

Can this fish be eaten?

Gu Lan suspiciously fished up the fish, and there were five palm-sized fish!

There were also some thumb-length small fish that were not wasted, all of them were fished up by Gu Lan, pulled a few leaves from the side, wrapped them up and took them home.

This is really a bonus, if it is not poisonous, then she and her younger siblings will not have to go hungry!

But how can we test whether the fish are poisonous or not?

There wasn't even a mouse at home, and Gu Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

Just as the three siblings looked at the fish and sighed, there was suddenly another noise outside.

"Gu Lan! You come out for me! ”
