When the three of them arrived at Xianghua Temple, Li Hehua did not rush to play, but went into the Xianghua Temple first, bowed, and lit a stick of incense as a greeting to the Buddha.
After burning incense, we went straight to the back mountain. The scenery of the back mountain is very beautiful, with mountains and water. It is a good place for sightseeing. It is said that many literati and poets like to invite one or two friends to come here to enjoy the mountains and water and write poetry.
As soon as I walked out of the temple gate, a childish voice came over, "Shulin——"
This shout attracted the attention of Li Hehua and the other two. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw Gu Jinzhao, grinning and waving his arms, shouting at them not far away. Next to him was Master Gu Zhijin.
Li Hehua didn't expect to see Master Gu and Gu Jinzhao here. He thought it was quite a coincidence and couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and said to Shulin, "Shulin, look, Jinzhao is here too. Go and say hello to him."
Needless to say, Shulin's mouth had already been grinning like Gu Jinzhao's, and he was waving his little arms vigorously.
Gu Jinzhao looked up and said something to Gu Zhijin, then ran towards them. Seeing this, Li Hehua also ran over with Shulin in his arms.
When they got there, Shulin shook his calves to signal that he wanted to get off, and Li Hehua put him on the ground. As soon as he got off, Shulin rushed towards Gu Jinzhao, and the two good classmates and deskmates hugged each other, looking extremely happy.
Gu Zhijin walked slowly from behind and nodded to Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan.
Li Hehua asked with a smile: "Master Gu, did you bring Jin Zhao here to burn incense today?"
Gu Zhijin shook his head and said, "Jinzhao heard Shulin say that he would come over to play here this afternoon, so he wanted to come too. He insisted that I bring him, so I brought him." Actually, Gu Zhijin didn't want to bring him here, but the little guy was almost crying and making a fuss at home, so he had to come, so he had to compromise.
Li Hehua could imagine how the lively little guy Gu Jinzhao made trouble for his uncle and how his uncle was troubled. He thought that the uncle and nephew were inexplicably cute and it was quite funny to think about it.
Li Hehua said, "Well, we are also planning to go to the back mountain to play, we can go together."
"Oh yeah--" Gu Jinzhao next to him became excited when he heard this, "Okay, okay, Aunt Hehua, please take me with you, I also bought a kite." As he said that, he pointed to the kite in his uncle's hand.
Li Hehua had just seen this kite and thought it was probably bought in town.
"Okay, let's go together. I brought a lot of food and drinks, it's just right for you and Shulin to eat together."
When Gu Jinzhao heard about food, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze involuntarily moved to the big bag that Zhang Tieshan was carrying, and he swallowed his saliva. He felt that Shulin's mother was simply the best mother in the world.
He and his second uncle didn't bring anything, and didn't even think of bringing food and drinks. Now his stomach is thirsty and hungry. You see, his second uncle is a man who doesn't know how to take care of children. Hey, he originally wanted to make Shulin's mother his second aunt, but now it's impossible, so he can only work hard to make Shulin's mother his godmother.
That’s right, after failing to develop Li Hehua into his second aunt, little Gu Jinzhao wanted to be Li Hehua’s godson. He was so persistent.
As for how he thought of the matter of godmother and godson, it was not really his own idea. Instead, one time, he accidentally heard a little kid in the academy say that his godmother was better than his biological mother and that he liked his godmother. Only then did he know that there was such a thing as a godmother. Then he went to ask his second uncle what godmother meant. After his second uncle explained it clearly, he realized: it turns out that a person who is not a biological son can also be a son. Then he immediately had a new goal - he wanted to make Shu Lin's mother his godmother.
He really likes Aunt Lotus. She is not only gentle but also very kind to him. Most importantly, everything she cooks is delicious. He thinks the happiest thing in the world is to be Aunt Lotus's son.
Therefore, he must now spend more time with Aunt Hehua and make her like him more.
However, Gu Jinzhao did not tell his second uncle about this idea, because based on his understanding of his second uncle, if he told him, his second uncle would definitely beat him up.
In fact, if Gu Zhijin knew that his nephew was tempted by delicious food and wanted to recognize someone as his mother, he would really beat him up.
Li Hehua held Shulin's hand with one hand and Gu Jinzhao's hand with the other, and said to Gu Zhijin, "Master Gu, let's go."
Gu Zhijin smiled and shook his head, "No, I won't go. I want to go to the temple to listen to Master Jiyuan's lecture." He then cupped his hands and said, "Please take care of Jinzhao."
Li Hehua nodded, thinking that Master Gu was not the kind of person who would play with children. He was more suitable to sit on a futon and listen to lectures. So he said, "Well, don't worry about Jin Zhao. I will take good care of him. Let's meet here again when we come back."
Gu Zhijin bowed again, "That's it, you guys go now."
Li Hehua took her two children and followed Zhang Tieshan to the back mountain.
Gu Zhijin looked at the backs of the four people as they walked away and smiled faintly. Although he had let it go, he still had to avoid the suspicion that should be avoided to prevent Shulin's father from misunderstanding him again.
Here, Li Hehua and his four companions arrived at the back mountain and passed by a pavilion. Li Hehua said, "Let's rest here for a while and eat something. It's noon now and we haven't had lunch yet."
Shulin and Gu Jinzhao had been hungry for a long time. They nodded happily when they heard this. The two little guys looked at the bag in Zhang Tieshan's hand eagerly.
Li Hehua found it funny and quickly opened her bag and took out the food she had prepared. Since she had nothing to keep warm, she only brought some snacks, but no hot meals or dishes.
Li Hehua brought some pastries and French fries that she fried herself, and of course, they were served with her own ketchup. In addition, she also made some chicken nuggets, similar to the Colonel's nuggets commonly eaten in KFC. Although they are all junk food, it's okay to eat them occasionally, and children also like to eat them.
Sure enough, as soon as it was taken out, both children exclaimed "Wow". Although they didn't know what it was, it looked very tempting and smelled good.
No matter where they are, these foods are very popular among children.
Li Hehua opened the sealed small porcelain jar, revealing the ketchup inside, then took out two French fries, dipped each of them in the ketchup, and fed them into the mouths of the two little ones with one hand each.
The two little guys chewed it, their eyes lit up, and their little mouths moved quickly.
Gu Jinzhao quickly swallowed a French fry, looked at Li Hehua in surprise and said, "Aunt Hehua, what is this? It's delicious!"
Shulin nodded his head and said, "Yes, it's delicious."
Li Hehua replied: "This is called French fries, made of potatoes. You dip it in this sauce when you eat it. Come on, take the French fries and try it yourself."
The two little guys immediately picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup like Li Hehua did, and then happily stuffed it into their mouths.
Li Hehua took another chicken nugget and dipped it in the sauce and gave it to the two of them. "This is a chicken nugget. You guys can try it too."
Naturally, the chicken nuggets successfully captured the stomachs of the two little guys, and their mouths kept moving like little hamsters who were concentrating on eating.
Seeing the two little guys eating happily, Li Hehua picked up a chicken nugget, dipped it in some sauce and brought it to Zhang Tieshan's mouth, "Try it too."
Zhang Tieshan looked at the food that was brought to his mouth, a smile slowly filled his eyes, and he opened his mouth and ate it from Li Hehua's hand.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Zhang Tieshan nodded, "Yeah, it's delicious." Although he seldom ate these things except for meals, everything made by Li Hehua seemed delicious to him, not to mention that she fed him personally.
It was rare for Li Hehua to see him eating snacks so happily, so he picked up another handful of French fries and fed him.
Gu Jinzhao was eating, but his eyes were not idle. He watched the actions between the two people and blinked, thinking that Shulin's mother and Shulin's father had a very good relationship. No wonder Shulin's mother looked down on his second uncle. Alas, there was no other way. He could only think of a way to find a wife for his second uncle. If his second uncle relied on himself, he would probably never be able to marry a wife in his life. He was really worried.
Seeing that the two little guys had eaten a lot in a short time, Li Hehua stopped them and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke, drink some water." Then he took out a bamboo tube from his bag, gave each of the two little guys some water, and then gave it to Zhang Tieshan, "You drink some too."
Zhang Tieshan shook his head and pointed the mouth of the bamboo tube towards Li Hehua's mouth, "You drink first, I'm not thirsty, you can drink when you are thirsty." They didn't bring much water, and he was afraid that they wouldn't have enough to drink. Anyway, he had thick skin and flesh, so it didn't matter if he drank less water.
Li Hehua thought he was not thirsty, so he did not force him. After drinking two sips, he put the bamboo tube back into his bag and took out a paper bag of sushi from the bag. "Come on, don't just eat those. I also brought sushi. You can try it."
The two little guys didn't know what sushi was, so they asked curiously, "What is sushi?"
Li Hehua did not explain, but took out the sushi she had made that morning from the oil paper bag and said, "Look, this is sushi, made with rice, and can be eaten cold."
Li Hehua made several kinds of sushi, including vegetables, fruits, and meat. They looked colorful and very beautiful. The two little guys had never seen sushi before, and when they saw it, they immediately shifted their interest from French fries and chicken nuggets to sushi, and couldn't wait to take a piece and put it in their mouths.
"Wow, Aunt Hehua, this is delicious too! The food you cook is the most delicious in the world, no one can compare to it." After finishing a piece of sushi, Gu Jinzhao immediately gave Li Hehua a thumbs up to express his praise.
Li Hehua was impressed by Gu Jinzhao's high emotional intelligence. He smiled and touched his head, then gave him another one. "If it tastes good, eat more. It's okay to eat more of this."
Gu Jinzhao hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his mouth, woooo, why isn’t Aunt Hehua his mother? If she were his mother, he would be so happy every day. He really envies Shulin.
At this moment, Gu Jinzhao clenched his fists in his heart. He must become Aunt Hehua's godson as soon as possible, so that he can be as happy as Shulin.
The four people finished their lunch in the pavilion, rested for a while, and then continued on their journey. They stopped only when they found a flat place surrounded by mountains and water.
Li Hehua saw other people playing not far away, so he decided, "Let's just stay here."
Zhang Tieshan had no objection. He spread the large oilcloth brought by Li Hehua on the ground and put the bundle on it.
Gu Jinzhao held Shulin's hand, and the two of them were like two birds out of a cage, running happily. If they saw a little bird, they would chase it and giggle from time to time.
Li Hehua smiled and said, "Look, once he's out playing, Shulin becomes so lively. He's so happy. I think I should take him out to play more often in the future."
Zhang Tieshan looked at the smile on Shulin's face and couldn't help but curl his lips, "Well, we'll take him out to play whenever we have nothing to do in the future."
Li Hehua took out the two kites he brought with him and walked towards the two little guys, "Let's go and teach them how to fly kites."
Considering that the two little guys were too small and could not run while pulling the kite string, Li Hehua arranged for the two little guys to hold the kite at the back.
"You two are ready. When I say let go, you let go and the kite will fly up into the sky, okay?"
The two little guys felt that they had a heavy responsibility, and they nodded very seriously, ready to go.
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan each held a spool of thread and stood in front of the two little guys. Then, Li Hehua gave an order, "Release!" and the two little guys let go at the same time.
The wind on the back mountain was still very strong, very suitable for flying kites. Soon the two kites rose into the sky against the wind. Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan let out the strings little by little, and the kites rose higher little by little.
Gu Jinzhao jumped up excitedly, "Shulin, look, our kite is flying into the sky! It's so high!"
Shulin stared at the kite with his mouth wide open, not wanting to blink. When he saw the kite fly a little further away, he ran after it with his short legs, "Kite - kite - fly -"
He ran to Li Hehua, hugged Li Hehua's legs and tilted his head back, laughing, "Mom, Gao Gao - Gao Gao -"
Li Hehua looked down at him and asked, "Is the kite flying really high?"
Shulin nodded and pointed at the kite in the sky, "Mother - kite - high up."
"Yes, the kite is flying high. Come to Shulin and try it." As he said that, Li Hehua handed the kite in his hand to Shulin and held his hand to fly it together.
Shulin was holding the spool of thread, almost going crazy with joy, stomping his legs.
Gu Jinzhao also ran over and looked at Shulin holding the kite spool, and he also wanted to try it.
Zhang Tieshan saw the child looking at it eagerly, so he waved to him and said, "Come here, I'll give this to you to play with."
"Hey?" Gu Jinzhao blinked his eyes, and after confirming that it was really for him, he was happy, ran over happily, took the spool from Zhang Tieshan's hand, and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you uncle, you are the best."
Good boy, you have a sweet mouth.
Two little guys were flying kites, competing with each other to see whose kite was higher. Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan were watching from behind. If one of their kites was in danger of falling, they would rush over to rescue it. If one of their kites was lower than the other's, they would rush over to help him fly it higher. Anyway, in the end, they couldn't decide whose kite was higher.
After playing for more than an hour, Li Hehua put away the kite, put the two little guys on the oilcloth, wiped the sweat off their faces carefully, and then distributed the food in the lunch box to them. They ate while resting, and by the time they finished their meals, they were almost done with rest.
Now, it's time to go home.
Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan brought the two little ones back to Xianghua Temple and saw Gu Zhijin waiting under the big tree at the gate.
Gu Jinzhao flew towards Gu Zhijin like a small cannonball and bumped into Gu Zhijin. He said happily, "Second uncle, we flew a kite today. It flew very high, much higher than a bird. We also ate a lot of delicious food, including sushi, French fries, and chicken nuggets. They were delicious. I'm sure you've never eaten them before."
Gu Zhijin looked at his nephew's cheerful face and smiled as well. He thanked Li Hehua and Zhang Tieshan and said, "Thank you for bothering you today."
Li Hehua shook his head. "Why thank me? Jinzhao and Shulin are good friends. It's no problem. It's more fun for two kids to play together."
Gu Jinzhao rolled his eyes and smiled widely, "Then Aunt Hehua, when you take Shulin out to play next time, can you take me with you?"
Fearing that Li Hehua would not agree, he quickly added: "I will be very good and obedient. Although I eat a little too much, I will let my second uncle give you money, okay?"
"Tsk!" Gu Zhijin pinched Gu Jinzhao's little ear, "You're getting more and more shameless!"
Gu Jinzhao didn't care when his ears were pulled, and rolled his eyes, "Oh, you don't understand. A man can't be thin-skinned, otherwise he will be like a little girl." Besides, only a thick-skinned man can marry a wife. Like his second uncle, he didn't have a wife because he was thin-skinned.
"Puchi, haha...Jinzhao, you are so right." Li Hehua could not help but burst out laughing because of the funny thing about this little guy Gu Jinzhao. This kid, how can he be so funny, he is such a talented person!
Gu Jinzhao looked at Li Hehua and smiled, and gave his second uncle a smug look, "Look, Aunt Hehua said I was right."
Gu Zhijin covered his forehead speechlessly, not wanting to talk to this funny guy anymore.
Li Hehua stopped laughing and agreed, "When we take Shulin out to play in the future, we will definitely bring you, Jinzhao, along. But you don't have to pay. Auntie will be very happy just to have you here."
Gu Jinzhao grinned, ran over and hugged Li Hehua's legs, "Thank you, Aunt Hehua, you are the best."
Zhang Tieshan was laughing at the side. This little guy had just praised him and said he was the best. How come everyone is the best...
