096 Reunion Dinner
Gu Xiaowan filled the bowls in front of everyone into a bowl. Bone soup boiled all afternoon, and the bone marrow in it was boiled out. The soup was thick, fragrant and fragrant, which made people's appetites open.
Aunt Zhang inhaled hard, and a scent rushed into the tip of her nose in an instant: "Wan girl, it's really fragrant!"
The little stone also smelled hard, and said, "Well, it's really fragrant!"
Uncle Zhang also gave a thumbs up and praised: "I have never seen a family who has cooked this soup. Wan girl, you are so smart."
Hearing Aunt Zhang's family complimenting his sister, Gu Ningping said proudly: "Aunt, uncle, brother Stone, try it out, it's really delicious! My sister's craftsmanship is not a blow!"
Gu Ningping is not bragging, her sister's craftsmanship is really getting better and better.
Gu Xiaowan glared at Gu Ningping, and pretended to be angry and said, "Don't listen to Ning Ping's nonsense, where is my craftsmanship! In the past, my family was poor, so where have I eaten these things!" Gu Xiaowan was right. I've never had enough food before, let alone a bone with some shredded meat.
After everyone had a bowl of soup in front of them, Gu Xiaowan said, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, you guys have a drink!"
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang looked at each other and smiled, and hummed in unison, but they were not in a hurry to move the chopsticks. Instead, they saw a few of the Gu family's children sitting upright and said, "Girl Wan, move your chopsticks too, eat quickly!"
When Gu Xiaowan saw Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang greeting her to eat, the four children smiled at each other, but still didn't move the chopsticks.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, you are elders, you should move your chopsticks first." Gu Xiaowan took Uncle Zhang's words and explained.
This has always been the family motto of the Gu family. At the dining table, the oldest and the oldest do not move chopsticks first, and the rest cannot move chopsticks.
On this table, the oldest and the oldest are now Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. On weekdays, at Gu's house, Gu Xiaowan didn't use chopsticks, and Gu Ning'an, Gu Ningping, and Gu Xiaoyi didn't even use chopsticks.
Now, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang didn't use chopsticks, they didn't eat food first, and Gu Xiaowan and the others didn't even use chopsticks.
Although Aunt Zhang asked everyone to use chopsticks, the rules have been deeply ingrained since childhood, and no one will be so unruly.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang originally wanted to say that everyone should be more casual about the New Year's Eve dinner, but when they thought that this was the family rules and family discipline that the Gu family had already taught, they were only an outsider, and it was not easy to break the rules of this family. , therefore, did not speak again. .
Looking at the four sisters and brothers of the Gu family who were sitting properly, they sighed inwardly that although these children were poor, they were so polite and polite. When they saw it, they didn't say much, and just held up the soup bowl. took a sip.
As soon as I entered the mouth, a strong fragrance lingered on the tip of the tongue, and the fragrance burst, it was really delicious. Usually, the villagers do not eat this bone, thinking that it has no meat at all, it costs money, and it has no taste. So everyone doesn't eat it, that is, the meat sellers use it to feed the dogs and so on. But I didn't expect that in Gu Xiaowan's hands, this bone turned into such a delicious soup, I really can't imagine it.
"This soup is really good, girl Wan, your craftsmanship is really good! Old Zhang, we have a good time today!" Aunt Zhang praised.
Uncle Zhang also took a sip and echoed: "Yes, not bad!"
Hearing Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang praising themselves, Gu Xiaowan was also very happy: "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, if you think it tastes good, I will teach you this recipe for making bone soup later, this bone is also cheap, you can I buy one or two from time to time, boil it into soup, drink it in winter, it warms my body and nourishes it, it’s so good!”
When Aunt Zhang heard that Gu Xiaowan was going to give her the recipe for how to make soup, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay, okay, later, Auntie will learn from you. I will cook it for both of them when I go back!"
The crowd was laughing and cheering. Aunt Zhang looked at the food in front of her in disbelief, white rice, a bowl of bone soup, a bowl of fried pickles with bamboo shoots, and a bowl of meat cubes on the table. It was incredible.
Aunt Zhang felt like she was in a dream. Before Gu disappeared into the water, they were so poor that they couldn't even eat sorghum noodles. Now, they even have meat and rice on the table. Could it be that this girl became smart after she fell into the water.
Aunt Zhang pretended to be inadvertent and carefully looked at the girl under Wan. However, she found that this girl was very different from before. The former girl Wan was hesitant to say a word. Before she could speak, her face turned red. Very cowardly.
But today's Gu Xiaowan, at the dining table, the steady and proper movements and conversations were something Aunt Zhang had never seen before. This girl Wan was brought up by her since she was a child. Aunt Zhang knew exactly how she used to be.
But Aunt Zhang has never seen Gu Xiaowan today. But like it tight. Knowing etiquette and etiquette like this, she looks like a young lady from a big family, but she doesn't look like a person in this country.
Look at the other three children in the Gu family. Although they are young, they have now put on new clothes and are no longer as dirty as they used to be. Again, it seems that these children are well-behaved and sensible, and their words and deeds are also well-behaved. momentary.
I can't help thinking that the children taught by Tian's family must have a set of methods. I can't help but feel that Tian Shi and Gu Chuanfu died early. It's a pity to see that these children are all grown up and sensible now.
However, seeing a few children happily eating the New Year's Eve dinner, if I was too sad, the children would be hurt, so I pressed the grief in my heart and happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner. Dinner.
In the past, when Gu's father and mother were there, Xiao Shishi also occasionally came to eat a few times. Since they died, these few
It was the first time for Xiao Shi to come here in recent years. Although there were not many dishes on the table, it was meat that was rarely eaten in his own family. Such meals were only available during the Chinese New Year. However, seeing it today in the Gu family with only a few children, I couldn't help being a little surprised.
However, he did not take the initiative to pick up the bowl of meat.
Gu Xiaowan had seen too many "dinner table stories" at the dinner table in her previous life, and she could guess the general situation when she saw Brother Stone's appearance. Although Aunt Zhang's house is better than her own, this meat is not eaten often, and ordinary people will only eat meat during Chinese New Year. Seeing that the small stone is not clipped, I also know that he is embarrassed.
