It's not just An'er who misses them, the children also miss An'er. In other words, the fish in An'er's house.
Aunt Gu's family forked a total of four fish, and only stewed two at noon, and there were two left uneaten!
If they coax An'er to play, will they gain some light
The children who brought fish soup home at noon escaped a beating because of their cleverness and filial piety. Some of them were ordered by their families and couldn't get away. There were still a few who had nothing to do, so they strolled to Gu's house together.
"Auntie, what are you kicking?" Came outside the yard and saw Shaoyin kicking sandbags in different ways, and asked curiously.
Shaoyin looked up and saw four or five familiar children, smiled and waved to them: "Come on, I'll teach you how to play with sandbags."
Several children ran in one after another.
An'er was so happy that her eyes were bent, she grabbed Shaoyin's clothes, pressed against her legs, and looked at her brothers and sisters.
Shaoyin took the sandbag and introduced it to several children: "This is the sandbag I sewed for An'er to play with. I will teach you how to play."
Make them stand upright and teach them to throw sandbags.
"Whoever is hit, he will go down, understand?" Shaoyin asked.
The children nodded wildly: "Understood!"
"But be careful, don't use too much force, it's not good to hurt others." Seeing that the children were quickly divided into groups with burden scissors and hammers, and allocated according to sandbag throwing and sandbag hiding, Shaoyin seriously warned.
The children responded, "Remember, Auntie!"
Because the beanbag was sewn by An'er's mother, she beckoned An'er to join the group hiding the beanbag: "Come, we will take you to play."
The children's giggles and the annoyance of being hit soon resounded in the small courtyard.
An'er was in the group hiding from the sandbags, running around in a panic, avoiding the sandbags being thrown at them. The older kids were very smart, they didn't hit him intentionally, they just pretended to hit him so that he could avoid it.
Eat people with soft mouths and short hands, they ate the fish soup cooked by Shaoyin for lunch, and now they are throwing the sandbags made by Shaoyin, taking good care of An'er!
An'er had never been so happy, the smile never fell off her face, she kept giggling, twisting and twisting her small body, and "thrillingly" dodged the sandbags thrown over and over again.
When they were playing, Shaoyin cooked a pot of mung bean soup.
The scoop was left to dry in a bowl, and when the children were tired, they said, "Come, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to quench their thirst."
"Thank you, Auntie!" the children said in unison.
There are sandbags to play with, and mung bean soup to drink, this little brother of the Gu family is really amazing! There are so many benefits to playing with him!
Some children are frugal, feel that Shaoyin is a big spender, and don't know how to live, so they learn from their mother when they get home. Some children are very envious, and feel that An Erniang really loves An Er, which is so enviable!
But no matter what he thought, he decided in his heart that he would come to Gu's house to play with An'er when he had time!
The time of playing passed quickly, and the sun went down in a blink of an eye, dyeing the sky into a continuous piece of gorgeous clouds.
The children were all called away by their families for dinner, and before they left, they smelled the smell of fish soup permeating the small courtyard, and they were a little bit reluctant to leave. But Shaoyin didn't ask them to drink fish soup, and they drank mung bean soup in the afternoon, so they were embarrassed to ask her for it.
After cooking the fish soup, Shaoyin came out of the stove, wiped his hands, and asked his son, "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." An'er shook her head. There are some bright sweat marks on his forehead, but they are not as bright as his eyes. It is so happy to have friends with them this afternoon.
Shaoyin closed the door, took a small cloth bag, and asked him: "I'm going to catch the golden cicada, will you go?"
Golden Cicada? An'er had already forgotten about it, but when she reminded her, she immediately remembered what she said last night.
"Go!" He nodded sharply.
Shaoyin smiled.
Of course she knew he was going. Gu Tingyuan didn't come back, he didn't go with her, did he stay at home alone
"Let's go." Shaoyin led him out of the fenced courtyard and walked into the woods by the river.
It's not dark yet, and the golden cicadas haven't started to climb the tree yet, some have already climbed out of their nests, and some are still huddled. It's a pity that I don't have a shovel at home, otherwise I can squat on the ground and dig golden cicadas according to the small holes in the ground.
"Mother, where is the golden cicada?" After wandering around for a while and finding nothing, An'er shook Shaoyin's hand.
Shaoyin immediately let go of her mental power, and scanned accurately within a 50-meter radius.
"There's one over there." She took her son and walked over there, and caught a golden cicada that had just emerged from its nest and was climbing up at the root of a tree.
An'er's eyes widened: "Wow!"
Shaoyin untied the small cloth bag, put the golden cicada in it, then closed the bag, and handed it to An'er: "Hold on. We will eat as much as we catch today."
After a pause, "If you catch more, you can invite your friends to eat."
An'er suddenly became excited, her little head turned around, sweeping back and forth like a searchlight.
He is very smart, he squatted on the ground, and listened to the movement around him with his ears up. Hearing a "rustling" sound, he ran over there. The number of times is too many, but I really caught several of them.
"Ann—"
"Ma'am—"
A call came from afar.
It was only then that Shaoyin realized that it was already completely dark. And An'er immediately stood up and said happily: "It's dad! Dad is back!"
"Let's go." Shaoyin looked at the bulging cloth bag tied around his son's waist, there were about thirty of them, enough for a plate of food, and led him back.
"Father! Father!" An'er has already responded loudly to his father.
When Gu Tingyuan heard the sound, he immediately ran towards this side quickly, and burrowed into the grove without hesitation, complaining: "What are you doing here?"
Shaoyin heard his breath a little anxious, so she asked, "When did you come back?"
"It's been a while." Gu Tingyuan picked up his son, but An'er was worried about being squeezed into the bag of golden cicadas, and screamed, "Dad, it's crowded, it's crowded."
The father and son communicated for a while, and the family of three walked out of the grove and onto the path.
"I'm back home and I'm a little anxious to see you." Gu Tingyuan explained, because of the complaining sentence just now.
Shaoyin nodded: "Yeah."
She was too indifferent, and Gu Tingyuan thought she was angry. Just as he was about to explain something, An'er babbled about today's experience: "Mother took me to spear fish! Brother Zhuzi and sister Xiaohua took me to play! Let's pick it up together!" Snails! Play with sandbags!"
Spearfish
Throwing sandbags
Pillar flower
Gu Tingyuan realized that there was a lot of information in his son's words, so he forgot to explain to his wife, and asked his son wholeheartedly: "Where did you spear fish? How did you do it? What are sandbags? Are you playing with them today?"
An'er put her arms around his neck, talking about today's experience, she was elated and eloquent.
He didn't finish his sentence until he walked into the yard: "I hid the best! I didn't get hit!"
The smell of fish soup was still wafting in the courtyard, Shaoyin took his son from Gu Tingyuan's arms, walked to the water tank, scooped up water, and washed his son's hands.
He also washed his hands, and then took a bag of golden cicadas into the kitchen, threw it into the salt water, and marinated it with the white cicadas he caught in the morning.
Gu Tingyuan served the meal.
"You have worked hard today." He whispered, "I will come back earlier tomorrow so that you won't be so tired."
Shaoyin let out a "hmm", turned around and walked out.
Gu Tingyuan was startled, feeling that his wife was a little cold.
It seemed like it had been like this since yesterday. He was relieved that she didn't continue to quarrel with him, but she became so cold and abnormal, which made him a little uneasy.
He lowered his head, poured out the fish soup, and took off the pancakes stuck to the edge of the pot, and brought them all into the main room.
The fish soup is very fragrant.
Not to mention the fishy smell, she even sliced off the fish meat without a single fishbone.
Gu Tingyuan felt strange, scooped half a bowl of fish soup for his son, and confirmed that the fish in his bowl did not contain any fishbone, then tore a piece of pancake for him, then looked up at his wife sitting opposite: " How do you think of doing fish like this?"
"Just do it if you know how to do it." Shaoyin replied lazily, eating pancakes and drinking fish soup.
Gu Tingyuan lowered his eyes, poured soup for himself, and said in a gentle voice, "It's well done, the taste is good, and the sword skill is also good."
Shaoyin responded casually: "Yes."
She was really cold to him. Gu Tingyuan was sure, but he didn't ask directly, but continued to talk to her in a normal tone: "I didn't know you could spear fish before."
"I haven't crossed it, of course you don't know." Shaoyin replied.
There is really nothing wrong with this answer. Gu Tingyuan smiled good-naturedly, and said: "You should also pay attention to safety, the river is still very deep, be careful of slippery feet."
"En." Shaoyin replied.
An'er didn't notice the weirdness of his parents. For the past two days, his father and mother didn't quarrel, and his mother even played with him and cooked him delicious food. He was very happy!
After eating half a pancake and drinking a small bowl of fish soup, I was full.
The rest were divided by Shaoyin and Gu Tingyuan. Just like yesterday, there was not a drop of soup left, and I ate it clean.
The portion she cooks is just right, just the size of a meal.
Just a little supportive.
But this point of support made Gu Tingyuan feel unprecedented satisfaction and relaxation. In fact, he also hoped that he would have ready-made meals when he got home. He gets up early in the morning, reads all day during the day, and then rushes back. Even if he is young, he will feel tired.
Before his wife refused to cook, he couldn't force her, so he always cooked by himself. After returning home for two consecutive days and eating ready-made hot meals, I am so satisfied!
Washing dishes, boiling water, scrubbing, teaching, copying books.
Same as yesterday.
In the middle of the night, Gu Tingyuan blew out the lamp and went to bed softly.
"Yinyin, are you asleep?" A low and light voice rang in my ear.
Shaoyin didn't make a sound.
Pretend to be asleep.
I heard a rustling sound coming from the side.
Then, a hand stretched out towards her.
The man's hand rested on her waist with a warmth that could not be ignored. Gently exerting force, as if to bring her into his arms.
What are you doing on a hot day
Still not hot enough
Shaoyin woke up resolutely, and said, "Don't touch me."
Gu Tingyuan was startled.
He didn't know she was awake and wanted to...
"Sorry." He withdrew his hand, folded his hands in front of him neatly, and lay upright.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Are you mad at me?"
"No." Shaoyin said. She knew why he asked that. He probably felt something was wrong these two days and planned to have a talk with her.
She also planned to have a talk with him, for example, he didn't have to go home every day, but could go home once every ten days and half a month like other students. It was so hot, three people squeezed into one bed, and he was still a young man full of firepower, so it was not very comfortable.
However, before he could speak, Gu Tingyuan suddenly moved. As if aggrieved, he put one hand on her waist, turned over, grabbed her hand, and tied it around his waist, staring at her in the dark, and whispered: "Don't be angry with me, I I didn’t talk to people I didn’t have anything to do with, and I wouldn’t talk to them.”
"You ignore me, I feel uncomfortable." As he spoke, he grabbed her hand and touched his chest again, with a dull emotion in his voice.
