129 The Heart of the Night

Most of the people in this village live very poor.

Dumplings are generally not eaten except for Chinese New Year and festivals. Dumplings require both meat and white noodles, which are quite expensive.

Gu Ning'an and the others seemed to have never eaten dumplings from the beginning of their records.

Gu Xiaowan originally planned to go to the kitchen alone to cook dumplings, but Gu Ning'an and the others did not agree, saying that her sister was in the kitchen alone, and they were not at ease. A place without my sister is not warm at all.

Gu Xiaowan was instantly warmed by their words. Fortunately, during this period of time, they did not hurt them in vain.

The four children came to the small kitchen again, put water in the big pot, Gu Ningping still set the fire, and when the water in the big pot boiled, Gu Xiaowan put the dumplings in the pot, and put cold water three times in the same way as dumplings. After that, all the dumplings floated to the surface of the water, even if the dumplings were cooked.

The smell of dumplings came out of the pot. Gu Xiaoyi smelled the smell and couldn't help it. He clawed on the stove and asked in a milky voice, "Sister, when will it be okay? I'm greedy."

Gu Xiaowan patted her little sister's head: "Look at your little greedy look, don't worry, it will be ready soon. When the water in the pot is boiled again this time, the dumplings will be cooked." Gu Xiaoyi's period of time has been long. Quite a few.

"Ning'an, go and clean up the table, put the tableware and chopsticks, and you can eat the dumplings right away."

Gu Ning'an had never eaten dumplings, so she jumped up and down with joy, and hurried into the big house, Gu Xiaoyi followed her all the way in: "Brother, I'll go too!" The two went to work as instructed to take care of Xiaowan.

The water in the cauldron boiled again, and Gu Xiaowan fished out the dumplings.

The first bowl is naturally placed on the pot table with a pair of chopsticks on it. This is the case during Chinese New Year, and it is to be worshipped to the Lord of the Kitchen. I used to have this habit both at my grandmother's house and at my grandmother's house. Now, it's Gu Xiaowan's turn to be this small family, and naturally the habits left by this senior cannot be forgotten.

After that, Gu Xiaowan picked up all the dumplings and put them in a big pot, and Gu Ningan and the others carried them into the big house.

The New Year's Eve dinner they ate in the afternoon left them unfulfilled. At this time, there were still dumplings to eat, all with satisfied smiles.

In front of each of the four children, there was a bowl full of dumplings. After all four of them were sitting down, Gu Xiaowan picked up the chopsticks: "Go!"

A few people seemed to have received some orders, so they stopped talking, picked up the chopsticks directly, and attacked the dumplings in front of them. This dumpling has a thin skin and a lot of meat, and the meat filling inside is full of fat. All of them are full. When you bite into it, it is not only fragrant, but also has a lot of oil in it. The taste is really good.

Gu Ningping devoured one, and before he swallowed the one in his mouth, he said vaguely, "It's delicious, delicious! It's delicious!"

Gu Xiaoyi also ate half of it, and said in a milky voice, "Sister, Xiaoyi really likes to eat."

"Okay, you can eat more if you like it. If you still want to eat, we'll pack it next time." Gu Xiaowan was very happy when she saw that several children liked it.

Gu Ning'an also ate one, Gu Xiaowan was really curious, how did Gu Chuanfu and his wife teach the children to eat at that time, even though the family was poor, when they saw delicious food, they should have devoured it, just like Gu Ningping Same.

However, the last time Aunt Zhang and his family came, Gu Ningping had a gentle meal in front of outsiders, and he didn't rush for food at all. It's just a few kids who understand table manners very well. Looking at Gu Ning'an again, he was eating dumplings with chopsticks in his hand, which was completely different from the children in the countryside. Gu Xiaowan has also seen children in the countryside eating, and the posture is the same as not eating for hundreds of years, eating very fast.

But these children, except Gu Ningping, the other two eat slowly, especially gentle. It is estimated that they were also taught by the Tian family at that time. When Gu Xiaowan taught these children again, it was very easy.

Gu Ning'an didn't speak, but seeing the way he was eating dumplings revealed the satisfaction and happiness that he couldn't hide, Gu Xiaowan felt relieved. As long as these children can be happy and happy, this is the happiest thing for her to come here.

After eating the dumplings, Gu Xiaoyi was a little tired. Gu Xiaowan wiped her hands and carried her into the bed. Gu Ningping also lay down into the bed. Gu Ning'an and Gu Xiaowan lay in at the end. Logically speaking, the New Year's Eve should be lit overnight, so the candles in the house were still not extinguished, and the whole house was lit up.

It may be that everyone was tired today, and they didn't take a nap in the afternoon. Gu Xiaoyi and Gu Ningping fell asleep after a while, and they snored softly from the quiet room. Hearing this voice, Gu Xiaowan felt an unprecedented satisfaction in her heart. Originally wanted to fall asleep, but at this time, Gu Ning'an's low voice came: "Sister, are you asleep yet?"

"Not yet! Why haven't you slept yet!" Gu Xiaowan wondered why Gu Ningan hadn't fallen asleep yet. He is also tired today.

"Sister, I can't sleep, I'll talk to you, okay?" Gu Ning'an's voice was very low, for fear of waking up the sleeping brother and sister in the middle. Gu Xiaowan hummed: "Okay."

"Sister, thank you!" This is the first time that Gu Ning'an has said thank you, and it's Gu Xiaowan. I don't know why. Logically speaking, he and my sister are a family, so they shouldn't have said thank you, but But there was a voice in my heart that said to myself, in this life, the most cherished, the most respected, the most grateful is my sister.

"Thank you for what? You are my younger brother!" Gu Xiaowan was a little embarrassed, they praised themselves for being okay, if they were really serious and thanked themselves

, Gu Xiaowan was still a little uncomfortable.

"Sister, you gave our whole family hope!" Gu Ning'an was right. I don't know why, since Gu Xiaowan came back to life after falling into the water, Gu Ning'an felt that her sister was different from before. She used to wince and hug them and cry when she was wronged. The elder sister in front of her now is confident and strong. She seems to know everything and can't trouble her anymore.
