Because Gu Shuixiu brought sea fish over, so for dinner, she cooked a pot of rice, fried two plates of green vegetables, steamed sea fish, and two catties of pork cut by Zhao, which was directly made by Gu Shuixiu I had the braised pork and a large pot of old hen soup. Although there were only four dishes and one soup, the portion was sufficient, and the mouth was full of oil, especially the Zhao brothers and sisters.

In the past few days when they arrived at Gu's house, they ate carefully. They would eat whatever the Zhao family cooked. They didn't dare to be picky eaters, and they didn't dare to eat too much. They served more, but they didn't dare to eat more vegetables, so they just ate dry rice.

The Zhao family has always been frugal. If there are no guests at home, he usually eats with vegetables. He never buys meat. At most, he adds an egg, which is considered meat.

Gu Erniu is well aware of Zhao's style, so he always goes outside to catch voles or beat birds and roast them. After eating outside, he comes back. Now he has more cousins , He is not good at eating alone, and occasionally brings a little to the two little ones. After the birds and voles have passed the test, there is not much meat at all. These are the two little ones, and the only thing they eat when they arrive at the Gu family is meat.

However, the food of the Gu family is much better than theirs. They used to be poor and even eating eggs was a luxury. It was the first time they had eaten pork belly like this tonight. Two small ones were looking straight at the pork belly, and saliva flowed out unconsciously.

When Zhao Shi and Gu Shuixiu saw it, Zhao Shi quickly put a piece of pork belly into two small bowls, and Gu Shuixiu also gave them a piece, and the two looked at the meat in the bowl Even if I'm so hungry I can't bear to eat it.

Zhao Baoer shed tears silently and tasted the deliciousness of pork belly.

Gu Erniu teased: "Little cousin, is it because your cousin's cooking skills are so good that you have tears in your eyes."

Only then did Mrs. Zhao realize that Zhao Baoer was crying, so she quickly comforted: "Is that the case for this child? Just keep it for you if you like it, and my aunt will make it for you later."

Zhao Baoer hurriedly thanked the Zhao family, and then said sobbing: "My father, mother and grandmother have never eaten such delicious meat, Baoer wants to keep it for them, but they don't. I can't even eat it."

Zhao Nizi also cried silently, and everyone was heartbroken.

When Zhao thinks of his hard-working parents, brothers and sisters, he has never eaten a good meal in his life, so he just left, and his heart is also very uncomfortable, "Good boy, your parents If grandparents know that you are so filial, they will be able to rest their eyes, you grow up well, and you will be successful in the future is the best reward for them."

The two little people nodded heavily and ate in silence.

Gu Shuixiu pointed at the plate of sea fish and said to the crowd, "This is a deep sea fish, which you usually don't see, even if you want to eat it, you won't be able to eat it, and we have nowhere to buy it in Yongjia County. , we got a lot of deep-sea fish, and brought two fresh ones for you, so hurry up and try them.

This fish needs seawater to raise, and it would be a waste if you take too much to eat, so I made some dried fish, and I will wait for Chenghu to come over and ask him to bring some for you next time. "

Zhao was surprised when he ate it in his mouth, "This fish has no thorns!"

Gu Mingde and others also echoed.

"It's really not thorny, and has no fishy smell. It's smooth and tender. It's hundreds of times better than fish in the river." down.

Fortunately, this fish is big, and if Mingde eats it like this, it will be gone.

"Mother, there is another one, you will do it tomorrow, don't keep it." Gu Shuixiu will explain this because she knows Zhao's temperament well. If she doesn't explain clearly, Zhao's protection will not be complete I have to hide the good things again and eat them when they are about to go bad.

"I know, I know, mother is not ignorant." Zhao Shi looked at Shuixiu angrily.

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but no one broke Zhao's words.

The dinner ended in a harmonious atmosphere. The couple brought the child into the house. After such a tossing day, Gu Shuixiu couldn't take it anymore after giving birth. As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep, and even Dong Yuanxu in the middle of the night When he woke up from hunger, Dong Chenghu got up to serve.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Shuixiu handed Dong Yuanxu to Zhao's care, Yan Ming returned from the county and then picked up Dong Yuanxu to leave. The little guy seemed to know that he was going to be separated from his parents, so he grabbed Gu Shuixiu's hair and wow I cried a lot and almost called the neighbors over.

Finally put the child to sleep, and the couple drove the donkey cart away.

In the summer morning, the breeze blew people a little drunk, Gu Shuixiu sat on the donkey cart, blowing the morning breeze, and fell asleep again, and when she woke up from the noisy environment, she realized that they had arrived Panlong Town.

There are many hawkers and hagglers in the lively streets.

Dong Chenghu arrived at a steamed buns stall, bought a few steamed buns and a few steamed buns, and ordered two clear soups to take away in a bamboo tube, and then rushed to the county town without looking back.

Now that they are on their way, they can find a temporary place to stay when it is dark. Tomorrow, they will continue their journey before dawn. Gu Shuixiu will not be overwhelmed by this arrangement.

The house collapsed, no one suffered any loss of personnel or property, and the people still had peaceful smiles on their faces.

The two rushed all the way to the back door of the county government office, explaining that they had given some hard money and were taken to the house where Dong Chenghu had been before.

After waiting for a while, Gu Daniu hurried over, still breathing heavily, seeing his clothes and body, and his body that had gained a lot of weight. With a long body, Gu Shuixiu knew that he had a very good life.

Gu Daniu expressed a great welcome to Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu's arrival, and with a smile on his face he was about to drag them to a restaurant outside for dinner.

Gu Shuixiu asked strangely, "Aren't you on an errand?"

"Sister, brother-in-law, as soon as I heard that you were here, I asked the steward to take a leave. I haven't had a vacation for three consecutive months, so the steward was very quick to ask for leave, and said Don't deduct my wages. I heard from the county government that there is a good noodle restaurant in the county seat, and my little brother invites you to eat, so that I can honor my sister."

"When did you become so rude!" Although Gu Shuixiu said so, she was very pleased with it, and followed Gu Daniu's words and went out with him.

Walking all the way to the noodle shop, Gu Shuixiu found that Gu Daniu was so busy in the county town, and everyone greeted him along the way, and it seemed that the relationship was not bad.
