Chapter 14 You are my elder brother
She didn't expect to meet such kind people as the Gan family.
Not only did they give her meat buns during the day, but they also gave her white steamed buns at night.
She looked at the Gan family with gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you for not abandoning us mother and son and being willing to take us in."
"I haven't been to school and don't understand any great principles, but my son is very strong. Just tell me if there is any dirty or tiring work."
Hui Niang couldn't help but smile: "You are polite, Auntie."
Gan Fanren is handsome, Hui Niang is gentle, and the child's good looks completely inherited the advantages of the two of them.
This family has good looks. It is really his fortune that his son can follow such a fairy-like person.
Li Zhi's mother thought, and took a bite of the white steamed bun lightly.
Then her eyes widened.
No wonder her son ate so fast, this steamed bun is too delicious.
It's not worse than meat at all.
The old lady couldn't help herself and ate a little too much.
Li Zhi was not much better.
He was born strong and had a big appetite. This was the first full meal he had ever had.
He ate with tears in his eyes.
"This white steamed bun is so delicious."
"It would be great if I could eat it every day."
Li Zhi's appetite was indeed big, and he ate eight steamed buns.
But Gan Fanren didn't show any distress on his face. What
their family lacked the least was food.
"I will, when you grow up, not to mention a few white steamed buns, even meat can be eaten every day."
Gan Fanren patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and encouraged him.
Li Zhi widened his eyes in fear and waved his hands.
"I wouldn't dare to be so bold even in my dreams. The landlords in our village can't eat meat every day."
Gan Tian hated that iron could not be made into steel: [Can you be a little more promising? In the future, you will be a general who can defeat thousands of men. Not to mention meat, you can even swallow silver. ]
Gan Fanren asked curiously: "You are so strong, why don't you think about joining the army?"
"With your strength, if you join the army, you will definitely achieve something."
Speaking of joining the army, Li Zhi sighed deeply.
"I have been there, but I was sent back as soon as I joined the army. They said I eat too much."
Gan Fanren: "..."
But Li Zhi's appetite is indeed not small.
He uses the ingredients of the food he eats at home. Whether it is steamed buns or white steamed buns, they are all very big.
His two sons were full after eating one white steamed bun, and he could only finish one.
Li Zhi ate eight by himself.
"Since you call me big brother, I promise you that I will never let you go hungry. You will be able to eat meat to your heart's content in the future."
Li Zhi sighed deeply, "It's enough that big brother has this intention. You don't need to coax me."
Gan Fanren decided to cook meat tomorrow.
Gan Tian also raised her little fist.
[Who are you looking down on? You will be able to eat meat to your heart's content tomorrow.]
[I am the woman who unlocked the meat area!]
Gan Tian said as she tried to crawl towards the bundle.
She wanted to put the meat into the bundle.
Ideals are good, but reality is cruel.
A one-month-old child can't crawl yet.
He can't even turn over.
She squirmed for a long time, but couldn't even get half an arm's length away.
[I'm so tired.]
Her eyes rolled: [I'm sorry, Daddy. I know this is a bit disgusting, but I can't let my beautiful mother bear this sin.]
Gan Fanren suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The family members who heard Gan Tian's voice all looked at Gan Fanren.
Gan Fanren suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt a small hand inserted into his chest.
Then his chest felt cold.
Something fell down.
His face turned pale, and he turned around hurriedly and pulled out a large piece of meat from his chest.
Looking at the greasy meat and feeling the stickiness on his chest, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth.
"Gan Tian..." Gan
Tian blinked guiltily.
[Daddy, won’t you find out that I did it?]
[That’s impossible. Daddy can’t read minds, so how would he know that I did it?]
[Daddy called me because he loves me too much, so he just called me casually, it must be!]
Gan Tian’s bright black eyes were like a pair of beautiful pearls, shining on Gan Fanren’s handsome and elegant face, and she showed Gan Fanren a guilty and flattering smile.
Gan Fanren took a deep breath and showed his daughter a gentle smile: "Our Tian’er is so well-behaved and cute."
[I knew it, I knew that Daddy must love me too much when he called me by my name!]
Gan Tian twisted her body happily, and then she was excited and pooped.
She embarrassedly pretended to watch the scenery.
She was just an innocent little baby, she didn’t understand anything.
She didn’t see the shocked looks of her two brothers at all.
It turned out that the fairy lady was actually a younger sister.
The next morning, Hui Niang got up early to boil water.
She pretended to have seen someone hunt wild boars and exchanged some rice for them.
She used the boiling water to wash the blood out of the meat. She
chopped the meat on the stone slab.
The pieces of meat were too big, and the stone was not as good as a chopping board, so Hui Niang was tired after a while.
Li Zhi took the knife and said, "I'll do it."
He was strong and fast. Hui Niang was not reassured at first, but when she saw that Li Zhi did a good job, she went to prepare other ingredients.
When she turned around, she found that Li Zhi had chopped the meat into minced meat.
She originally wanted to make Dongpo pork, but now the meat has become minced meat and cannot be made.
All the meat can't be used to make dumplings, right?
Hui Niang had a headache.
Her family has eaten a lot of dumplings these days, and she wanted to change the way they cook.
Seeing that there was still a lot of oil, she had an idea and made a big pot of four-happiness meatballs.
She knew that Li Zhi ate a lot, so the meatballs were also made very big.
The meatballs were as big as a fist, and when you bite them, there is still fresh soup and a strong meaty aroma.
In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi ate one. When Hui Niang picked up the second one for him, he slowed down and ate it very carefully.
"Yesterday I was thinking that it would be nice if I could have a bite of steamed bun, but I didn't expect that I could even eat meat today. Brother Gan, you are my dear brother."
Li Zhi's dark face was covered with two wide tears.
He actually cried because of the two meatballs.
Seeing this, Hui Niang picked up two more meatballs for him.
"I got a lot of meat, and it may not be kept in such a hot day. If you can eat it, eat it all."
Li Zhi was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for him. He stopped after eating four.
Hui Niang knew that he was not full, so she forced him to eat more, but he refused to eat.
He took the four-happiness meatballs and shook them in front of many people.
"Hot four-happiness meatballs, ten cents each."
On the way, everyone was traveling light. There were too few people like the Gan family who pulled a cart and carried a pot.
They had been eating dry food for several days and were already very hungry. Now Li Zhi was waving meatballs in front of them, and many of them were shocked.
"Ten cents? That's too expensive."
"That's right, ten cents is enough to buy ten buns, but you want ten cents for just one meatball?"
