While waiting for Gu Yuting's response, Gu Lei was extremely nervous and looked at Gu Yuting with his heart pounding.
The people around also fell silent, waiting for Gu Yuting's reaction.
Gu Yuting looked at Gu Lei, as if she was thinking about how to address him.
After a moment, Gu Yuting tilted her head and called out, "Brother."
"Ai!"
Gu Lei responded excitedly, with the corners of his eyes red.
Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang also looked at Gu Yuting expectantly, "Sister, what about us?" Gu Zhen was also beside them, looking at Gu Yuting expectantly.
Gu Yuting was frightened by their burning gazes and shrank back a little. She bit her lower lip and saw the lost expressions on the faces of Gu Pingyang and the other two.
Gu Yuting said, "Brother Pingyang."
"Brother Pingguang."
"Big brother."
Although Gu Yuting has always been immersed in her own world, she is aware of the changes in the surrounding environment.
She knew that she and her brother had left that place and had a new father, who took them and her new brother back to their hometown.
After returning to their hometown, they lived in a big family with a new grandfather, a new grandmother, a new uncle, a new aunt...
There are many more people in this new home, but they are all very nice, nice to her and her brother.
Later, the new father also found a new mother.
The new mother is amazing. She has a nice voice, can cook delicious food, and can even cure the new father and new brother's illnesses...
"Hey! Sister, you are so smart. You know my name!" Gu Pingguang praised happily.
Gu Pingyang and Gu Zhen also responded to Gu Yuting loudly, with bright smiles on their faces.
Gu Lei raised his chin and praised, "Sister is the smartest one."
No one present disagreed with him; all voices agreed and echoed him.
"Yes, Lei Zi is right, Tingting is a smart kid."
"My sister is so smart!"
Gu Yuting listened to the praise from her family, and her little white face, which was exposed by the two flower-bud buns tied by Jiang Xiaoqiao, turned red, making her look particularly cute.
The three female elders, Gu Jinhua, He Zhaodi and Jiang Xiaoqiao, were so adorable that the older brothers kept praising him. Gu Xiangbei's eyes were also full of approval.
That’s right, the girls in his family are the smartest and the prettiest, they are just that outstanding!
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Gu Yuting's cute appearance, then looked at Gu Pingyang, Gu Pingguang, Gu Lei and Gu Zhen.
The children in the family are all good-looking, but they are too thin.
It's not that Gu Jinhua and her family didn't raise their children well, but there was no money in those days, and children in rural areas had to help with the work from the age of five or six, such as picking grass for pigs, picking wheat ears in the fields, and digging wild vegetables in the mountains.
In addition, you need tickets to buy everything now, meat tickets are expensive, and meat in grocery stores is in short supply.
In this day and age, if you can really raise a child to be chubby, the family must be extremely well-off.
Jiang Xiaoqiao clenched her fists. The children at home were too thin, and Gu Jinhua and the others were also very thin.
Gu Jinhua and Gu Weimin's faces were still a little sallow. After being married into the Gu family for so many days, Jiang Xiaoqiao also knew that the two old people gave the fine grains and delicious food to the younger generation.
The two old people ate coarse grains and ate little, but they did a lot of work.
The two elders are only in their fifties now, but their bodies are like those in their sixties or seventies.
During this period, while Jiang Xiaoqiao was taking care of Gu Zhen, she also made nourishing soup for the whole family.
She improved the complexion of the whole family a little, but they were still on the thin side.
Even Gu Xiangbei, a tall and muscular man, is actually a bit thin.
The meat buns that Gu Xiangbei brought from the county town were carefully stored by Gu Jinhua in the kitchen, and the children each got half of one.
Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi had no intention of eating, and even Gu Xiangbei kept saying that he had already eaten in the county town and didn't want to eat.
None of them ate it, not even Jiang Xiaoqiao.
A few children took a small bite, and when they saw that the adults were not eating, they looked at the half-eaten meat bun and looked at Gu Jinhua and the others.
"I, we won't eat either." Gu Pingguang said.
"Grandma, Mom, Fourth Aunt, Fourth Uncle, this is for you to eat." Gu Pingyang said.
Gu Lei held up his half of the meat bun and came to Jiang Xiaoqiao, saying, "Mom, this meat bun is for you."
When Gu Yuting saw her brother snatching her away, she looked at him and came to Gu Xiangbei holding the meat bun.
Gu Zhen raised the meat bun to Gu Jinhua's mouth, and Gu Pingyang handed his half of the meat bun to He Zhaodi.
Among the children, Gu Pingguang's bite was the biggest.
With one bite, the big half of the meat bun turned into a small half.
Gu Pingguang looked at the few remaining meat buns, then looked at his brothers and sister, who also came to He Zhaodi holding meat buns.
The adults were very touched, but still let them eat the meat buns.
Gu Jinhua also stuffed a meat bun into He Zhaodi and Jiang Xiaoqiao's mouth and said, "You two should eat too! The fourth brother bought quite a lot."
"Mom, you eat too." He Zhaodi and Jiang Xiaoqiao said in unison.
Finally, Gu Jinhua also had a meat bun in her hand.
Seeing that their elders also had some, the children took back their half of the meat buns and tasted them carefully and with extra care.
Gu Xiangbei looked at them without saying a word.
Jiang Xiaoqiao took a bite and handed it to Gu Xiangbei's mouth.
Gu Xiangbei's lips curled up, and he said softly: "Xiao Qiao, eat by yourself, don't worry about me."
Gu Jinhua took a look and said, "Xiao Qiao, eat by yourself and don't worry about him."
Gu Yuting, Gu Lei, and Gu Zhen looked up at Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei.
The eldest brother Gu Zhen took the lead, tearing off a small piece of meat bun and handing it to Gu Xiangbei.
"Dad, you eat mine." Gu Zhen said.
"Dad, here you go." Gu Yuting said.
There was some heartache in Gu Lei's eyes, but he handed the meat bun to Gu Xiangbei without hesitation.
"Dad, you eat!" He looked at Gu Xiangbei and asked, "Is it enough?"
If that’s not enough, he will break off another half and give it to his dad.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "You guys eat yours. I have a small appetite, so your dad and I can eat together."
Gu Xiangbei said: "You guys eat, I'm not hungry."
Gu Zhen and the other two judged the truthfulness of Gu Xiangbei's words, and when they saw that he really didn't want to eat it, they withdrew their hands.
Jiang Xiaoqiao really couldn't eat much. The meat buns in the state-owned restaurant were very generous in size, bigger than her fist, and made with solid ingredients.
Jiang Xiaoqiao couldn't eat so much after breakfast, but the children ate more happily than each other.
Even Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi looked very satisfied. These were meat buns!
