Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, before it was fully light, the two brothers of the Gu family had already started to get busy.
They got up early, washed quickly, and prepared breakfast.
Soon, a pot of steaming rice porridge was cooked. Paired with refreshing pickles, a simple yet warm breakfast was ready.
After a quick breakfast, the two of them prepared the main course for lunch under Wu Mengyue's orderly command.
The kitchen suddenly became bustling with hot oil boiling and aroma filling the air.
The two brothers first frantically fried the meatballs, then stewed the fragrant braised pork, and made the tender and delicious braised fish.
As noon approached, delicious dishes came out of the pot one after another.
In addition to the previous fried meatballs, stewed meat and braised fish, there are also fragrant stir-fried beans and meat, steaming sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, and refreshing and refreshing pickled vegetables.
The four of them sat around the warm kang table, their faces filled with happy smiles, happily welcoming the arrival of the new year.
The afternoon sun shines on the earth, bringing a rare warmth in winter.
Luo Yiyi asked Gu Sihan to take her to the lake to play, skate, play ice hockey, and ride a sled, or just simply watch the children play.
The laughter echoed across the empty lake, as if dispelling some of the coldness.
At night, a dim oil lamp was lit in the house, and the family sat together making dumplings.
The clever Wu Mengyue skillfully made various exquisite and beautiful flower dumplings, while Gu Sireng and Gu Sihan made rows of neat and uniform flat dumplings;
In comparison, Luo Yiyi's results seemed a little different - the dumplings she made were strangely shaped, just like chubby little mice!
Gu Sihan couldn't help but burst into laughter and mocked him mercilessly, "Yi Yi, your dumplings are so ugly!
Is this food for cats?"
Hearing this, Luo Yiyi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Although she knew in her heart that the dumplings she made were indeed not good-looking, she still felt very embarrassed when Gu Sihan pointed it out so bluntly.
"Yes, these dumplings are for you, the greedy cat!
You must eat all of it tonight."
Gu Sihan showed some reluctance on his face, but finally responded: "Okay!"
He muttered to himself, fortunately Yi Yi was making dumplings slowly and in small quantities.
In this way, after he finishes eating all the dumplings, he can still eat the dumplings he made by himself and the exquisite and beautiful dumplings made by his sister-in-law.
However, things did not develop as he expected.
When all the dumplings were cooked and served on the table, he watched helplessly as his elder brother gave all the beautiful dumplings to his elder sister-in-law and Yi Yi, without even leaving a single one for himself!
Seeing this, Gu Sihan couldn't help but said, "Brother, I want to eat beautiful dumplings too."
There was a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in his tone.
Unexpectedly, Gu Si Leng ignored his brother’s request and refused without hesitation: “As a grown man, what is the difference between eating dumplings and eating?
Why are you so particular? What's the point of being so picky? "
Gu Sihan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to argue again, but swallowed the words back.
At this moment, Luo Yiyi stretched out her chopsticks, quickly picked up two beautiful dumplings from her bowl and put them in Gu Sihan's bowl, and said, "These are for you, eat them while they're hot!"
Gu Sihan was stunned at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Thank you, Yiyi. You are the best to me!"
Gu Sireng, who was bewitched by the Yin and Yang, pretended not to hear and concentrated on taking care of Wu Mengyue's meal.
However, Gu Sihan, who had the beautiful dumplings, was reluctant to eat them immediately, but saved them for last.
The four of them did not sit together to celebrate the New Year, but returned to their rooms early.
Wu Mengyue was just about to fall asleep with her slightly tired body when Gu Sireng pulled out a bright red scarf from under her pillow as if by magic.
"Yueyue, this... is specially for you!" Gu Sireng said with a little nervousness but full of anticipation.
Wu Mengyue was stunned for a moment by this sudden action, but when she saw the red scarf clearly, her eyes immediately revealed an unconcealable surprise.
You know, she hasn't received a gift for a long time, and she is as excited as if a long drought has finally brought rain.
She almost couldn't wait to take the scarf and gently put it on her white neck.
That touch of bright red instantly added a bit of charm and beauty to her.
"Thank you, I really like it!" Wu Mengyue responded happily, with a happy smile on her face.
Gu Sireng looked a little embarrassed. He scratched his head gently and whispered, "Yueyue, marrying me will make you feel wronged.
Next year I will definitely work harder to earn work points, go hunting more often in the mountains, and then sell the prey on the black market. That way I can save enough money to buy you anything you like."
Wu Mengyue carefully folded the red scarf and put it away, then threw herself into Gu Sireng's broad and warm arms.
She hugged his strong waist tightly, tilted her head slightly, and gently kissed his handsome face.
"Then I'll wait for you to work hard and let us live happily as soon as possible!"
"Yeah! Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
Gu Sireng nodded firmly, then lowered his head and kissed the lover in his arms passionately.
The intertwined breath of the two made the atmosphere even more ambiguous and charming.
