Looking at Gu Erniu's expression, Gu Lili didn't find it funny at all.
On the contrary, I was deeply moved; this is what brotherly love is all about.
Gu Lili didn't stop him and just let him do as he pleased.
In their eyes, she was also trying something new for the first time, so no matter how she explained, Gu Erniu would still have doubts and would be curious about how she knew, which would lead to another round of explanations.
It would be better to let him dispel his doubts on his own.
Gu Erniu picked up the porridge in front of him with a look of grim determination. Although its aroma made his mouth water, deep down he still felt that he couldn't eat it.
The two children also stared longingly at their second brother, Gu Erniu, who closed his eyes and took a sip.
His furrowed brows relaxed, and his eyes widened.
What does this taste like? It's really hard to describe.
After all, he had never eaten this before.
Gu Lili looked at Gu Erniu's constantly changing expressions with amusement and asked, "Is it fresh?"
fresh?
Yes, that's the taste of freshness!
Gu Erniu couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister, this porridge is so delicious! It's simply a delicacy!"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of clam meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Wow, these clams taste different from what I've had before! There's no sand in them!" Gu Erniu couldn't help but exclaim.
Seeing Gu Erniu's blissful expression, Gu Sigou became a little anxious, "Second Brother, can I eat now?"
Gu Erniu was conflicted again. Even if it was poisonous, it wouldn't take effect immediately, would it?
However, by this time, the group was already starving.
Gu Lili smiled and said, "Eat up! I tasted it while it was cooking to check the saltiness. See, I'm fine, aren't I?"
Gu Erniu thought Gu Lili's words made sense, so he stopped trying to stop the three of them.
"Wow, this is so delicious!"
"Yes, yes, this is the best thing I've ever eaten in my life!"
Gu Lili thought to herself, "If only I had some cilantro, it would taste even better with some cilantro!"
Gu Lili deliberately scooped both of the crab's large claws into Gu Huanhuan's bowl.
Huanhuan looked at the two large pincers and was a little frightened; she was really scared of being pinched just now.
"Huanhuan, come here, let me teach you how to eat it!" Gu Lili put down her bowl when she saw Gu Huanhuan looking at the crab claws with some difficulty.
She took the crab claws out of Huanhuan's bowl, then broke them open with her hand, revealing the red and white crab meat.
Gu Lili handed the meat to Gu Huanhuan and said, "Eat!"
Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou both stopped eating and watched Gu Huanhuan eat crab claws.
Gu Huanhuan was also struggling internally at this moment, and was a little hesitant to eat it. But when she thought about how this thing had pinched her big toe, she gritted her teeth and took a bite.
"Mmm...delicious!" Gu Huanhuan mumbled between chewing the meat.
Gu Sigou swallowed hard after seeing this.
Seeing this, Gu Huanhuan quickly put the other pair of tongs into Gu Siniu's bowl and said, "Siniu, try it! It's so delicious!"
Gu Siniu then put the pliers back into Huanhuan's bowl. "Third Sister, you eat it. It hurt you, so eating it will help you recover!"
“Yes, Huanhuan, hurry up and eat! Tomorrow, your second brother will go catch more and eat all its relatives so it can bite you!” Gu Erniu said seriously from the side.
"Me too, me too!" Gu Sigou said hurriedly.
Looking at her happy siblings, Gu Lili felt a warmth in her heart.
She taught a few people how to eat crabs, and they ate them with shepherd's purse and scrambled eggs.
Perhaps because they discovered that the clams and clams on the beach were edible and that they would no longer have to worry about going hungry, the three children ate to their hearts' content tonight and left no food behind.
With a long, satisfied burp, Gu Sigou and his three siblings finished their meal that evening.
Perhaps because they had eaten well these past two days, their faces had regained a slight rosy hue.
After finishing her meal, Gu Lili asked Gu Erniu to wash the dishes. She liked cooking, but the thought of washing dishes gave her a headache.
Gu Erniu was efficient; he washed the dishes in no time.
Although she was very tired today, Gu Lili didn't plan to delay any longer.
Today I'll teach Gu Erniu some simple arithmetic and how to recognize money.
There were no pens, but since it wasn't completely dark yet, they could use twigs in the yard to teach.
When Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou heard that their brother was going to learn arithmetic, they were also very interested. Instead of going back inside, they moved stools and sat down with Gu Erniu to listen.
Ancient and modern writing systems differ somewhat, so Gu Lili can only teach some simple ones. She starts with addition and subtraction within ten.
It involves drawing vertical lines on the ground with a twig, with each vertical line representing a copper coin.
She thought she was being attentive enough, but to her surprise, Gu Erniu kept scratching his head as he listened, which made Gu Lili want to give him a few slaps on the head.
Gu Sigou, who was standing to the side, spoke up: "Sister, I know. Five coins minus three coins equals two coins."
Gu Lili looked at Gu Sigou with some surprise. She had always thought her younger brother was clever, but she did not expect him to have some talent in arithmetic.
So she asked Gu Sigou a few more questions, and Gu Sigou answered them all quite well. Even Gu Huanhuan next to him got them right twice.
This frustrated Gu Erniu, who was somewhat confused.
"Sister, I'd rather not learn it. Anyway, I'm just a farmer, it won't be of any use to me. If you want to do business, just take Huanhuan and Si Niu with you. The family needs someone to take care of things."
Gu Lili rolled her eyes at Gu Erniu. "No, you have to learn. Even farmers have to learn. Otherwise, you won't even know how much grain your family harvested in the future. Wouldn't that be terrible?"
Gu Erniu could only nod resignedly, then he seemed to have thought of something.
"Sister, how did you learn all this?" Gu Erniu asked curiously.
Lately, he felt that his sister was becoming increasingly strange.
She's become cleaner, her cooking has improved, and most importantly, she's started to enjoy hitting herself.
Although he preferred this type of older sister, she felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Gu Lili answered without batting an eye, "My mother taught me!"
"Why didn't my mother teach me?" Gu Erniu muttered to himself.
Gu Lili had obviously heard Gu Erniu's words, and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "It's the same if I teach you, so you better learn properly! If you can't learn, see how I beat you up!"
Gu Erniu was instantly on the verge of tears; his sister was really fierce!
As darkness was about to fall, Gu Erniu finally solved one of the problems correctly.
Gu Lili also decided to let him off the hook for the time being and go to bed first.
After washing up, the group went to bed.
Soon, even breathing could be heard from inside the room.
Because she had porridge that night, Gu Lili felt the urge to urinate, so she got up to go to the toilet.
Just as I was about to look up, I saw what looked like a shadowy figure moving outside.
