Gu Xiuwu had finished washing up by now, and he looked much more energetic than before.
"Hey...it's an adult matter, what are you asking about, kid?"
Gu Hong glared at Gu Xiuwu, but the latter did not show any sign of fear. Instead, he looked at Shen Ningsi with anticipation.
"Xiuwu, go see if the food prepared by the chefs is to your taste, otherwise you will go hungry this morning!"
Shen Ningsi would not mention this matter in front of the children.
After listening to this, Gu Xiuwen pulled Gu Xiuwu, who was full of gossip, away.
"Brother, why are you pulling me away? If I ask a few more times, Mom will definitely tell me!"
Gu Xiuwu looked at his brother with dissatisfaction.
"I said you were stupid, and you really are stupid. Didn't you see that Mom's face was red? Dad must want her to give us another brother or sister."
Gu Xiuwen showed an expression of a little adult on his face and glanced at his younger brother.
After hearing this, Gu Xiuwu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Brother, please don't let Mother have another child. She's already worried sick about An'an and Kang'kang, and she still has to take care of the three of us siblings!"
Gu Xiuwu showed a distressed expression on his face.
After listening to this, Gu Xiuwen looked thoughtful and then nodded.
"Let's talk to Mom secretly about this matter after Dad leaves, otherwise he will make things difficult for us again."
Gu Xiuwen thought about what Gu Xiuwu said for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and then the two of them went to the backyard.
Shen Ningsi didn't know what the two brothers were planning at the moment, otherwise he would definitely be in a dilemma.
"Gu Hong, let's talk about our relationship later. We should be more respectful in front of the children."
The two of them moved a little further away and breathed in the fresh air for a while, and the blush on Shen Ningsi's cheeks gradually faded.
However, this look made Gu Hong unable to take his eyes off her.
Shen Ningsi felt a little at a loss when he looked at her.
"Madam? Are you in the room? Is it convenient for us to come in?" At this moment, Hui Niang's voice came from outside the door.
Shen Ningsi was like a drowning man who grabbed a straw, and hurried out while responding.
"Yes, Hui Niang, the door is not closed, just come in!"
As soon as Shen Ningsi walked over, he saw Hui Niang, Afang, and Da Liu's mother walking in from outside. The three of them were talking and laughing, with happy expressions on their faces.
"Why are you here so early today?"
"This isn't just about the child's first birthday. There's a lot to do. Frying the meatballs alone would take most of the day. We're here to help you."
Hui Niang is a very straightforward person. She did not hide anything and directly told the purpose of her visit today.
"Hui Niang, there's no need to bother. Gu Hong has already found a cook. If you're free, come over early tomorrow morning to help me greet the guests!"
Shen Ningsi knew that she could not handle everything at home by herself.
Although I haven't been with Hui Niang and others for long, I can tell that they are trustworthy people.
"Okay! But we don't know your guests, so you can tell me secretly when the time comes!"
"That's right, ma'am." Afang also nodded.
After Hui Niang and A Fang finished speaking, they looked at Shen Ningsi.
"Don't worry. Actually, we don't have many guests. They are all Gu Hong's brothers, the village head, and an aunt I know well. We didn't invite anyone else."
Shen Ningsi smiled.
Because she had no family from her mother's side, she felt extremely relaxed at this moment.
"That's good! We've met the village head these past two days and we know him!" Hui Niang nodded.
"Since we have nothing to do here, let's go back first and come back early tomorrow morning."
After Hui Niang finished speaking, she pulled A Fang and was about to leave.
"Wait, since you're already here, why don't you sit for a while? The food will be ready soon. You can stay here and eat before going back!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he grabbed the two people who were about to leave.
"This... Madam, we have already eaten at home, so we won't eat here with you!"
Hui Niang smiled.
"Isn't it just like being at home here? Why should we be so polite? It's just a meal. If you're so polite, the general and I won't go to your house for dinner next time."
When Ana Shen said this, she deliberately kept a straight face, making people think that she was angry.
Sure enough, Hui Niang and A Fang immediately became nervous when they saw her like this.
"Madam, don't be angry, we will stay for dinner!" Hui Niang and Afang also knew that Shen Ningsi did not regard them as outsiders.
"That's right, you can try the dishes made by these chefs later! Auntie, take some back for Da Liu to try too!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he looked at Da Liu's mother who was standing beside him.
"Okay, okay! I, an old woman, will listen to you, Madam!" Da Liu Niang had been with Shen Ningsi for some time and knew that she was easy to talk to and very kind-hearted.
A while ago, no matter what delicious food was cooked at home, she would pack some in advance and keep it for herself to bring back to Liu Da.
Gu Hong saw that they were talking and laughing, but he didn't go over to disturb them. As long as it was something that could make Shen Ningsi happy, he was willing to see it.
The chefs were very efficient at cooking and soon the table was full.
The combination of meat and vegetables looks particularly appetizing.
"Mom, I want to eat this!"
Gu Yuner also woke up at this moment, pointing to a pastry on the table and said with anticipation.
"If Yun'er wants to eat it, try it. If it tastes good, eat more!"
Shen Ningsi still doted on Gu Yuner very much. After saying that, he picked up a few cakes with chopsticks and put them in a small bowl, and brought it in front of her.
"Thank you, mother!"
After Gu Yuner finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat slowly.
Although she really wanted to eat the pastry in front of her, her movements were very polite. After chewing a few bites, she raised her little face.
"Mom, what's the name of this pastry? It's so delicious! Soft and sticky with a hint of sweetness!"
"Girl, this is yam cake, and it's just made!" Zhang Jun said with a smile.
He could see that the little girl really enjoyed the pastries they made.
"Mom, please try this yam cake. It's really delicious!" Gu Yun'er knew the name of the cake and immediately handed it to Shen Ningsi like offering a treasure.
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Ana Shen opened her mouth.
After a while, the yam paste fell into her mouth. Shen Ningsi chewed it gently for a few times. The soft, sticky and slightly sweet taste spread across her taste buds.
"It's really good. Yams are good for children too! Yun'er, eat more if you like it!"
