Chapter 240 My mother raised me
"Little aunt." Gu Nan and Gu Xixi called out in baby voices.
Gu Hongmei looked at her two fair and cute nephews and was so fond of them that she squatted down and hugged them one by one, and gave each of them a dollar as a gift.
Although she had money, her second brother only gave her one dollar, so she couldn't go beyond his reach.
Yu Hui helped take the luggage that Xiao Li took from the car and said, "Come into the house and have a bowl of water."
Xiao Li smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. I won't drink the boiled water. I have to go back to the camp to return the car, and the backup staff should go off work."
After saying that, Xiao Li got in the car and drove away.
"Come in." Yu Hui led Gu He and Gu Hongmei into the house.
First, he poured them some water, and then asked Gu Nan to take out the pumpkin cakes that he had fried in the morning.
"Dad, aunt, eat." Gu Nan placed the pumpkin pie in front of Dad and aunt.
The two smiled at Gu Nan.
Yu Hui said, "You probably didn't eat much in the car. You must be hungry now. Eat some pumpkin pie first. We'll have stewed goose in an iron pot tonight."
The goose was bought this morning and has been slaughtered.
Gu He quickly said, "Why eat a goose? Just have some noodles tonight."
Big goose is only eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Hongmei also nodded.
Yu Hui: "They're all killed. If you don't eat them, they'll go bad tomorrow."
After hearing her say this, Gu He and Gu Hongmei had no choice but to give up and picked up the pumpkin pie to eat.
"Is this a pumpkin pie?" Gu He asked Yu Hui in surprise, holding the half-eaten pie.
The latter nodded, "Made of pumpkin."
"Why is it so delicious?" Gu He stuffed the remaining half of the pancake into his mouth. "It really tastes like pumpkin. City people must know how to make it. They can make such delicious pancakes from pumpkins that we have so much in the countryside that we can't eat them all and have to feed them to pigs."
Gu Hongmei nodded. It was the first time she had eaten such a delicious cake, and it was made of pumpkin.
"Only my mother can do it, no one else can do it." Gu Xixi blinked her big, twinkling eyes and said proudly.
Gu He and Gu Hongmei looked at Yu Hui in surprise. They thought that Yu Hui bought the pumpkin pie, but they didn't expect that she made it, and she was the only one who could make it.
"How do you know how to make this kind of pumpkin pie? I haven't seen anyone in our hometown who can make it." Gu He looked at Yu Hui curiously and asked.
The latter smiled and said, "I learned it from the educated youth in our village."
She is a professional at shifting the blame to the educated youth. After all, the educated youth are all gone, and the main point is that there is no one to testify.
Gu He didn't doubt it when he heard it, and nodded, saying, "Those educated youth really like eating pumpkin."
Yu Hui: Is it possible that I don’t like pumpkin, but that pumpkin is the only thing I can eat because there is little food?
After resting for a while, Yu Hui took Gu Hongmei to the room where she was going to stay and took all her luggage in.
"This room was occupied by Qiuyan and Qiuye when they came here. From now on, you will live in it. When Qiuyan's room comes back, you can live together."
Gu Hongmei looked around the room and nodded slightly.
"This will be your home from now on. Just like at home, don't be restrained or polite." Yu Hui looked at Gu Hongmei sincerely and said.
The latter's eyes were filled with tears, and he was moved. He nodded with a choked voice, "Yeah."
"Mom, I'm back."
At this time, the sound of Gu Dong returning home from school was heard outside the house.
"Is Dongdong back from school?" Gu Hongmei sniffed.
Yu Hui nodded, and Gu Hongmei said, "Then I'll go out and meet him."
After saying that, the two of them left the room.
Gu Dong was about to walk into the main room when Yu Hui called him.
"Gu Dong."
The latter paused, turned around and saw his mother standing with a young, haggard aunt, "Mom, is this my aunt?"
Gu Dong asked as he walked over.
Yu Hui nodded, and Gu Dong politely called out, "Auntie."
Gu Hongmei smiled and nodded, then took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to him, "You're so good, use it to buy some candy."
Like Gu Nan and Gu Xixi, Gu Dong looked up at his mother. Only when he saw her nod in agreement did he take the money and express his gratitude.
"Thank you, little aunt."
Seeing that the children all listened to Yu Hui so much, Gu Hongmei was happy for her. It is said that being a stepmother is difficult, but the fact that the children listened to her so much showed that she got along well with them.
"Your second father is in the main room, go and meet him." Yu Hui said to Gu Dong.
When Gu Dong heard this, he turned around and ran into the main room. Gu He put his bag in the study and just came out, he saw Gu Dong running into the main room with a schoolbag on his back.
"Is it Gu Dong?"
Gu Dong nodded, "Hello, Second Dad."
"Good." Gu He said repeatedly, "You are a really strong young man."
He is obviously two or three years younger than Binbin, but he doesn't look much shorter and is even stronger than Binbin.
Being praised by his second father for being strong, Gu Dong was very happy. "It's because my mother raised me well. I wasn't this strong before my mother came."
His status has only risen in the past six months.
Gu He smiled and patted Gu Dong's arm, "Good boy."
Gu Dong: "Second Dad, I have to go back to my room to do my homework. I'll chat with you after I finish my homework."
"Go quickly."
Gu He looked at Gu Dong and thought that this child was really self-conscious. Thinking back to when Qiu Yan and Xiao Feng were in school, asking them to do homework was like asking them to die.
Gu Dong went back to his room to do his homework. When he passed by Gu Hongmei and Yu Hui, he said something to them.
"Dongdong is really sensible and self-aware." Gu Hongmei said, looking at Gu Dong's back.
Not to mention the countryside, even in the staff quarters of the garment factory where they lived, there were no children who were so conscientious about doing their homework. They would just play around after school and would not do their homework until they were urged by adults several times.
Yu Hui smiled but said nothing. It was only now that he became so sensible and self-conscious. He was not so self-conscious before and was very naughty.
When Gu Dong came back from school, Yu Hui went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Gu Hongmei also went into the kitchen to help.
There was only one big dish in the evening: a goose stewed in an iron pot, and a salad of green pepper, preserved egg and cucumber.
Steam a steamed egg for Beibei and eat it with rice.
Beibei didn't sleep at noon and is still sleeping in the room now.
The child woke up while he was cooking. After finishing his homework, Gu Dong carried Beibei, who wanted to be his mother, to the kitchen.
Beibei exclaimed "Huh" when he saw the strange aunt.
Yu Hui looked at her and said, "This is my aunt."
Beibei pouted and called out, "Little Gugu."
As soon as Gu Hongmei saw Beibei, she liked him very much. She wiped her hands and reached out to hug him. Beibei also gave her face and opened his arms.
Gu Hongmei held her gently, smelling the milky fragrance on the little girl's body. She took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good."
She had always hoped to give birth to a well-behaved and lovely daughter, but unfortunately her wish never came true.
If she had a daughter, she would definitely raise her to be as white and plump as Beibei, soft, cute, clean and beautiful.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "I'm still eating milk powder. Isn't it milky and delicious?"
Little Beibei put his little face against his aunt's face and rubbed it.
Gu Hongmei's heart was about to melt, and she kissed Xiao Beibei's cute little face several times.
