095 A Knife of Meat
For this small family that was still swaying in the wind and rain, for Aunt Zhang, and for other people in the village, Gu Xiaowan planned to treat it the same. Although it is said that the same is true for Aunt Zhang's family, she has a little bit of a villain's heart, but there is no way. If someone knows that he is different, he does not know if he will treat himself as a monster and set fire to it, alas.
Compared with her own life, compared with this family, Gu Xiaowan could only make such a choice.
After Aunt Zhang sent Uncle Zhang to the big room and sat down, she looked around.
Since the last time Gu Xiaowan fell ill, Aunt Zhang came in. This is the second time in more than half a month. But this time, the feeling for her was completely different from last time.
Last time, Gu Xiaowan was sick and lying on the bed, covered with a quilt that she had been covering for many years.
However, now, on the kang, there are indeed brand new, soft quilts, clean, neat and tidy, and the quilts on the kang are neatly stacked without a trace.
Looking around again, the ground is also clean. It can be seen that this girl has several children and does not disturb the room less on weekdays.
Right now, although this room is still as poor as it used to be, its clean and tidy appearance now makes people's eyes shine, and it seems to make people see hope.
Aunt Zhang nodded with satisfaction. These children have really grown up.
Aunt Zhang returned to the kitchen again, planning to cook by herself. Originally, I wanted to come over to chop and stir-fry the vegetables. After all, this girl is only eight years old. She can make a fire, cook a meal, and wash the vegetables. I guess she has to do the cooking herself.
But as soon as I entered the kitchen, I found that the kitchen was in good order. The cut vegetables were neatly placed beside the stove. I didn't know what was cooking in the pot. The mist was lingering and the aroma was fragrant. The current situation is really like living a life.
Aunt Zhang took a serious look at the dishes on the stove, and when she saw a pot of meat that had been cut into small pieces, her face became more and more ugly.
"Girl Wan, didn't Ning An say it was a light meal? You, Uncle Zhang, and I promised you to come here. Why have you prepared such a big bowl of meat now, so that your uncle and I will not be able to eat?"
Seeing Aunt Zhang coming in, Gu Xiaowan stared at the bowl of meat closely, her face changed from the pleasure just now to very ugly. Gu Xiaowan guessed in her heart that Aunt Zhang must be blaming her for buying the meat. Sure enough, seeing Aunt Zhang speak, Aunt Zhang must be blaming her for spending money like this.
"Aunt Zhang, since my father and mother died, the four children in our family have been taking care of you. The kindness you have taken care of over the past few years, not to mention asking you to eat meat, I would also like to invite you to eat meat every day. My parents died early. My three younger siblings and I depended on each other for life. We were all young and didn’t know how to live. If you didn’t send us rice and noodles from time to time, they and I would have starved to death. Zhang Aunt, can it be that my brother and sister's four lives are not as heavy as the meat you bought for dinner?" Gu Xiaowan spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Aunt Zhang probably didn't expect Gu Xiaowan to be able to speak like this. Gu Xiaowan's words made Aunt Zhang speechless.
She felt sorry for this family, she didn't know how to save just after earning money, but she didn't expect Gu Xiaowan's words, but it made Aunt Zhang even more moved. These children are filial piety.
Without saying anything, Aunt Zhang took out another knife of meat directly from the cloth bag. After Gu Xiaowan saw what it was, she immediately understood what Aunt Zhang meant. He hurriedly ran forward, held down Aunt Zhang's outstretched hand, and said hurriedly, "Aunt Zhang, what are you doing?"
Aunt Zhang was a little unhappy when she saw that Gu Xiaowan held her hand and refused to accept it: "Girl Wan, you invite uncle and aunt to dinner, uncle and aunt are happy. However, you are just getting better now, you can't waste it, you will still spend money in the future. A lot of meat. You spent so much meat tonight. Aunt Zhang brought this knife and meat. You hang it on the beam and eat it slowly. When you are growing, you can't lose yourself!"
Gu Xiaowan's nose was sour, thinking that she was still guarding Aunt Zhang, and felt a little embarrassed: "Aunt Zhang, keep it for yourself, and keep it for Uncle Zhang and Brother Shitou, I have it here!"
"You have yours, I have mine! Why, I think I can make some money, you don't like this thing from Aunt Zhang, right?"
"No, Aunt Zhang!" Gu Xiaowan understood that what Aunt Zhang said was a radical. Aunt Zhang's kindness is more like the thick warmth emanating from the brazier in winter, and the person who takes the photo is warm!
Gu Xiaowan saw that Aunt Zhang insisted on keeping the knife, and knew that it was Aunt Zhang's intention, so she could only give up. I saw Aunt Zhang quickly smear the piece of meat with salt and hang it on the kitchen beam.
Aunt Zhang insisted on cooking the vegetables herself, and Gu Xiaowan didn't want to be too conspicuous, so she just gave up after thinking about it, and simply started to fight and set fire to the fire.
In the big house, a few children helped put the dishes and chopsticks in place, and then they accompany Uncle Zhang and Xiao Shishi in the big house to talk and chat. After waiting for the dishes in the kitchen to be cooked one by one, everyone sat down.
Seeing the crowd full of people, Gu Xiaowan raised her brows with joy: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, today is the New Year's Eve, I invited Uncle and Aunt to come, mainly to thank them for their care over the years."
"Where can I help you? My aunt is thanks to you. Otherwise, my aunt would never have imagined that she could make so much money!" Aunt Zhang told the truth. Indeed, if it wasn't for Gu Xiaowan's advice, where would they dig for winter bamboo shoots, not to mention that the restaurant would invest a hundred cents a pound.
When I went to the restaurant today, the boss was so polite and asked if they were relatives and friends of Gu Xiaowan's family. He was so polite and respectful that he didn't look down on them as country people at all. To get such treatment, how could it be if Gu Xiaowan hadn't taken the lead in the early stage?
So smooth.
Aunt Zhang knew that all this was due to Gu Xiaowan, so seeing Gu Xiaowan grow up to be so sensible, she didn't know how happy she was.
"Uncle, aunt, let's eat first! This is the bone I bought in the town. Although it's not worth a few dollars, the pig's body is meat after all. The uncle who sold the meat told me that the bone is not good. , but I thought that my younger brothers and sisters in the family would grow up, so they should eat more good food. If they can't eat meat, they can eat some bones. I just took the bones and boiled them in water. .You guys have a drink and see if you like it or not!"
