Duofu and Duoshou also overcame their fear.
Duofu: "Auntie, does that mean we'll get something delicious to eat whenever this sound comes out?"
Gao Shujing squatted down and said, "No, it means that whichever house makes that sound will have something delicious to eat. Now that the sound is coming from our house, we can have something delicious to eat next."
Duoshou: "Uncle, when can we start eating?"
After returning from setting off firecrackers, Gao Guojing picked him up and said, "Uncle Guojing will take you to eat something delicious now."
Gao Shujing also led Duolu and Duoxi to the dining table.
Pig lungs, pig liver, pig tripe, pig blood, pork belly, fish, mutton, tofu, dried bean curd sticks, and vegetables were all ready to be served. At Yu Rujia's command to start eating, everyone's chopsticks began to move.
The last time they ate hot pot, Duolu and Duoshou only got to taste it, while Duoxi didn't even get to taste it and was sadly carried away by Gao Shujing to eat porridge.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. Duoxi is one year and one month old. He can barely eat hot pot with his tiny teeth. To make it easier for the little ones' stomachs, we used a clear broth base.
This kind of bone broth can be drunk directly, and it's fine to feed it to the little ones, so we didn't make a special dinner for Duoxi.
However, the main ingredients of Taki are tofu, fish, and some vegetarian dishes that don't require much use of teeth.
As for the three adults and Duofu who can eat spicy food, they can add chili peppers to the seasoning according to their own taste.
Gao Shujing and Gao Guojing are responsible for taking care of the four children, while Yu Rujia only needs to take care of her own food.
The abundant ingredients and delicious, nutritious broth made the group eat until they were drenched in sweat.
Gao Guojing scooped up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it into Duolu's bowl. He then picked up a piece of pork tripe for himself and ate it. The crisp and delicious texture, combined with the sauce, was irresistible.
Having thoroughly enjoyed his meal, Gao Guojing couldn't help but blurt out his thoughts: "Brother, this is such a wonderful life! I can eat so much delicious food every day. I don't want to go back to Jiangcheng."
This person has been here for two weeks. Due to puberty, he has gained some weight, and his body, which was almost as thin as a bamboo pole, has become a bit chubby. His face is also rounder, making him look quite fleshy. I wonder if Xia Taishun will misunderstand him when he goes back.
Gao Shujing: "Go back and ask your parents how much money they're willing to give you to support you. See if it's enough for you to live that kind of life."
Gao Guojing thought about his situation after arriving at Shangfen Brigade. The food he ate was either bought with money or prepared by himself. His parents, his older brother, Xia Jingrong, and Yu Rujia all contributed some of the money, but he didn't contribute a single penny.
Wanting his own father to support him financially indefinitely is simply a pipe dream.
Even Gao Shujing, who came to take care of the Xia family, had his money given by Xia Taishun handed over to Yu Rujia. Gao Shujing, the biological son, didn't receive a single penny. In other words, where the money was spent was entirely up to Yu Rujia.
Even if Yu Rujia wouldn't starve her, he wouldn't have the face to let his family and Yu Rujia support him forever.
Even if he were willing to go to the countryside here, no one would hire him at his age of fourteen, and the work points he would earn wouldn't be enough to support such a high quality of life.
In the days leading up to the Lunar New Year, I spent over a hundred yuan just on shopping. Even if I don't spend that much normally, I still spend at least several tens of yuan a month on food.
Such expenses are unaffordable even for ordinary workers, let alone educated youth who came to the countryside to farm.
Gao Guojing was frustrated: "Brother, why wasn't I born before you when I was reincarnated? Then I would be the older brother." He was the one who had come to the countryside to live a life of luxury with Yu Rujia.
Gao Shujing ignored his crazy younger brother, scooped two spoonfuls of fish paste into a clean bowl, scalded it with boiling bone broth until it was cooked, and then poured the fish paste into Duoxi's bowl.
Having just finished cleaning his bowl, Duoxi plunged back into the fish paste, eating without even lifting his head.
Duoshou didn't understand Gao Guojing's frustration, but he empathized with Gao Guojing's desire to be an older brother. Duoshou acknowledged that Duofu, who had always taken care of him, was his older brother.
However, Duoshou was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the simple-minded Duolu was his older brother.
Duo Shou put a piece of tofu in his mouth, nodded his little head, and said the same thing as Gao Guojing: "I also want to be a big brother."
Gao Guojing reached out and scooped a piece of dried bean curd from the pot for the little guy: "Do you want Duofu to call you brother?"
Duofu paused in his eating of pig's blood: "Duoshou, do you want to be my older brother?" He thought to himself, if Duoshou really dared to say he wanted to be his older brother, then he could get rid of this younger brother.
Duo Shou's animal instincts kicked in again. Forgetting about the delicious tofu skin, he hurriedly defended himself, saying, "No, no, I like my older brother. I just don't want Duo Lu to be my older brother. He's too stupid."
Duolu was young, but that didn't mean he was stupid. He knew that being stupid wasn't a compliment, so he immediately said, "You're stupid, your whole family is stupid."
A few days ago, when Hua Zi came over to play with them, they were talking about Li Cuiniang. Hua Zi said that Li Cuiniang was "bad, her whole family is bad," but Duo Lu twisted the meaning and said, "You're stupid, your whole family is stupid."
Little Xiao thought he sounded very powerful when he said that.
The others, except for Duoxi, paused in their movements. Gao Guojing slapped him on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Duoshou's whole family your whole family?"
Duoshou's eyes were practically overflowing with disgust as he turned to Yu Rujia for confirmation, "Auntie, am I really not my brother?"
Yu Rujia explained, "The one born first is the older brother. You were born after Duolu, so you are the younger brother."
Duo Shou retorted, "But don't you always say that Duo Lu and I were born on the same day? So we should have been born at the same time, and I am the older brother."
Yu Rujia said regretfully, "Even on the same day, there are morning, noon, and evening times. You were born a little later than Duolu."
Duo Shou was still unwilling to give up: "Could it be that you saw it wrong? Everyone says that I look a lot like Duo Lu. Could it be that you mistook me, who was born earlier, for Duo Lu?"
The brothers' intelligence was concentrated in Duoshou. After being boosted by the Enlightenment Pill, his intelligence is now equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old. Therefore, he usually follows behind the more composed Duofu.
Duolu is oblivious to everything else and only cares about the food and his identity as Duoshou's older brother. Although he doesn't quite understand Duoshou's meaning after hearing his suspicions, he knows that Duoshou doesn't want him to be his older brother.
Duolu: "I am the older brother, I am the older brother." While emphasizing this, he also stuffed two slices of pork belly into his mouth.
His chubby cheeks kept moving, his mouth was full of oil, and he stared at Duoshou with his big, round eyes. No matter how you looked at him, you couldn't see any anger in him.
