On New Year's Eve, the Gu family ate dumplings for lunch.
The four Gu sisters, along with Gu En, who usually skips school and plays outside, and Uncle Gu, all made dumplings together.
Uncle Gu carried Renren to the kitchen: "Renren, Renren, look at your fourth uncle and your older brothers and sisters, they can resist the smell of such delicious filling. So, you should learn from them, okay?"
"Oh dear, I'm showing you how to behave! Why are you drooling?" As soon as Uncle Gu finished speaking, drool started dripping from Xiao Renren's mouth.
"Come on, come on, you little rascal, you can't resist the food, just like your mother! Let's go to the main room and watch your second uncle and brother Ayuan write couplets! Let's judge who wrote well and who wrote poorly, and we'll drool over them!" Uncle Gu carried the child to the main room again.
Everyone in the kitchen was speechless.
She can talk so much while holding a baby who can't even babble.
"Sister Xiao, A Yuan's handwriting is so good!" Grandpa Gu, who was making paste, couldn't help but praise Lu Zheng to Grandma Xiao.
"The second son's handwriting is also good! It looks more elegant than A-Yuan's!" Grandma Xiao said.
"The second son is more than a decade older than A-Yuan! People say that handwriting reflects the person; the more experiences one has, the more unique one's handwriting becomes," Grandpa Gu remarked.
He hadn't seen his second son write calligraphy in years, but he was certain that his son had secretly practiced it, otherwise he couldn't have reached such a level.
As for Lu Zheng, Grandpa Gu knew his true identity, and the more he knew, the more he understood the hardships this child had endured.
"Stop bragging to each other! You're making them out to be amazing! This calligraphy is top-notch in the countryside, but it's nothing special even in places with lots of students! So, second son, A-Yuan, you two can't slack off! Practicing calligraphy can help you calm down and think. Second son, you need to calm down, and A-Yuan, you need to too, understand?" Grandma Gu said seriously to the two of them.
"Mother, what are they thinking about? Are they thinking about how to easily capture big cats alive on other mountains next time?" At this moment, Gu Shouxin carried Gu Ren in and asked with a smile.
Grandma Gu: "..."
"Come on, come on, bear with it. Look at Grandpa, Grandpa is making paste. Do you know what paste is? Paste is just paste, hehehe..."
"Come on, let's take a look over here. Is your second uncle's handwriting better or your brother A-Yuan's handwriting? Remember, whoever's handwriting is even slightly uglier, you can drool over it!"
"Oh dear, your second uncle has been keeping quiet for over ten years. Drinking and gambling were just a cover, weren't they? He was secretly practicing calligraphy. This time, your second uncle will definitely pass the exam with flying colors! You should learn from your second uncle. Before, when he knew he wouldn't pass, he would hide away and study secretly. Now that he knows he will pass, he can't hold back anymore! How clever is that!"
Gu Shouxin: "..."
The way my brother thinks is beyond the comprehension of most people!
"Renren, look at your brother Yuan! Your brother Yuan is such a handsome young man! His handwriting is beautiful too! Oh my, even Dad doesn't know whose is uglier! Tsk tsk, our Renren has such good taste, there's no one uglier. I'm drooling, hehehe."
"Bear with it, you must look like your father, not your mother. If you look like your father, you'll have a chance to grow into a handsome young man like your brother Yuan. If you look like your mother, you'll end up like your two cousins, having a hard time finding a wife." Gu Shouxin held the child, looking him over from one side to the other.
Handsome young man Lu Zheng: Actually, it's quite difficult for me to find a wife.
