After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

There are many people in the Gu family, and they sat at two tables for dinner.

Men sat at one table with men, and women sat at another table with women.

Niuniu sat obediently beside Zhang Yunniang. Although she was very hungry, she still knew the rules when she saw a table full of food. She was completely different from her other two cousins, Gu Daya and Gu Xiaoya, who wanted to pounce on the food.

Old Lady Gu was very satisfied with Niuniu's performance and nodded.

"Grandma, aren't you going to eat yet? I'm so hungry!" Gu Daya covered her stomach and acted like a spoiled child to Old Lady Gu.

Old Lady Gu glared at her and said, "You're so old, but you only know how to eat! You don't know the rules at all!"

Gu Daya was scolded, but she didn't feel embarrassed. She still urged Old Lady Gu to distribute the food quickly.

Old Lady Gu didn't torture anyone anymore. She picked up the big rice bowl and distributed the coarse grains in it according to the number of people.

There were not many dishes on the table, one plate of fried radish and one plate of boiled wild vegetables.

The fried radish and boiled wild vegetables obviously didn't have too much oil, and they looked wilted, without the luster that food should have.

Even so, this was still a rare good meal for Niu Niu.

After all, when she was at the Zhang family, she couldn't even get tender wild vegetables, and could only eat the old wild vegetable stems that most people couldn't chew. The number of grains of coarse rice in the bowl could be counted.

Gu Daya couldn't help complaining: "I haven't eaten meat for more than ten days, and I haven't even eaten an egg!"

Old Lady Gu immediately looked at Chen Chunhua, the mother of the Gu family: "You are going to teach your daughter to be a young lady. What are the conditions of our family? We eat meat and eggs at every turn. We should be like other families and only give our daughter half a bowl!"

Chen Chunhua smiled embarrassedly when she heard this. The Gu family is different from other families. In the environment where the whole village values ​​boys over girls, Old Lady Gu has not been affected by this bad habit at all.

Although she can't treat her grandchildren equally, she won't starve her granddaughter and only give her grandchildren food.

"Mom, how about you fry an egg tonight? We haven't had meat in our house for a long time!" Chen Chunhua said shamelessly.

Old Mrs. Gu glared at her fiercely and said, "You are so beautiful!"

Chen Chunhua didn't say anything else, but she noticed that Niuniu stretched out her chopsticks and was about to pick up a chopstick of fried radish, and immediately coughed lightly.

When Niuniu looked up, she saw the stern eyes of the aunt who didn't like her, and she was so scared that her chopsticks shrank back and she didn't dare to pick up any more food.

Niuniu had just come to this family, and Zhang Yunniang had always been paying attention to the child's movements. Seeing this situation, she picked up a chopstick of fried radish and put it into Niuniu's bowl as if she didn't see the murderous look of the eldest sister-in-law.

"Is it enough? If not, mother will pick it up for you." While speaking, Zhang Yunniang picked up a large chopstick of boiled wild vegetables and put it into Niuniu's bowl.

Chen Chunhua was unhappy and said, "Second sister-in-law, how old is Niuniu? Can she finish so much? Don't waste it."

In rural areas, wasting food is the most taboo.

The others at the table immediately looked at Niuniu.

But Niuniu is so young, and she wanted to bury her face in the bowl when eating.

She has a small face, but she uses chopsticks quickly, so fast that afterimages can appear.

She is obviously wolfing down, but her eating appearance is very beautiful, like a painting.

After a while, she finished a bowl of coarse grains that is bigger than her face.

"My dear, there is a glutton in our family!" Chen Chunhua said sarcastically.

Niuniu lowered her head in shame.

Although she is thin, her appetite has always been larger than that of ordinary people. When she was in Zhang's house, not to mention eating with an open stomach, she was occasionally so hungry that she chewed grass. If she was seen by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, she would have a good scolding.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat. My Niu Niu is well fed. Only in this way can she keep her body strong and mother can rest assured." Zhang Yunniang smiled and patted Niu Niu's shoulder.

Niu Niu immediately raised her head when she heard it. She looked carefully at Zhang Yunniang's eyes and did not see any disdain in her eyes. She was relieved immediately.

But she still clenched her fist and said, "Mother, I will try to eat less in the future. I can make fire, go up the mountain to collect firewood, cut pig grass, and wash clothes. You can leave these tasks to me in the future!"

Niu Niu is only five years old, but she has formed simple values. She has no thoughts of being cunning and sly.

Zhang Yunniang was sad to see that although rural girls can help their families with farm work at an early age, few five-year-olds can do so many things.

Zhang Yunniang did not refuse, but said, "Okay, mother is waiting for Niu Niu to help."

Niu Niu saw that she was useful in this family, and she immediately grinned.

Zhang Yunniang asked again, "Are you full?"

Niuniu fell silent when she heard this. She didn't want to deceive her adoptive mother, but she was only half full.

"If you haven't eaten, add more. Our Gu family is not the kind of family that can't afford food!" Old Mrs. Gu added a large spoonful of coarse grains to Niuniu's bowl with a cold face.

Niuniu was flattered and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandma."

Old Mrs. Gu saw that Niuniu finally smiled at her, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The men's table was not so dramatic. They finished eating and cleaned up the table quickly.

Niuniu carefully observed the situation in the Gu family. It was really different from when she was in the Zhang family.

The men in the Gu family all do housework. After they finish their own table, they will come to help the women.

Zhang Guangzong always waited for Xiao Cai to clean up. He waited for others to serve him when he ate. He was lying all day at home and didn't do any housework.

Gu Mingda saw the little girl's puzzled look, which looked so cute, so he couldn't help it and pinched her soft little face.

"Yunniang, bring Niuniu with you later." Gu Mingda warned.

Niu Niu was confused.

After the kitchen was tidied up and the Gu family had no other work to do, Niuniu finally knew what to do.

In a corner of the yard, there were several small sand tables placed on the ground.

The boys in the first and third rooms all had sad faces.

"Second uncle, I just want to farm, I don't want to study!" Gu Yun, the grandson of Gu's eldest son, said.

Gu Mingda also had a headache. His eyes passed over his nephew Gu Yun and landed on Boss Gu who was not far away. The father and son looked exactly the same, and their temperament was also very real.

Another nephew, Gu Jin, also said quickly: "Second uncle, I don't want to learn either, so please don't embarrass me."

Even though Gu Mingda was very smart, he couldn't do anything when he met these two nephews who were tired of studying.

Boss Gu, on the other hand, came over with a stick and scolded: "You two useless things, your second uncle taught me with good intentions, but you don't appreciate it!"

The two brothers, Gu Yun and Gu Jin, didn't look very smart, but they were very good at dealing with their own father.

"Is it our fault that we don't like reading? We just followed your roots!"

"Yes, if reading was really that easy, why don't you read, dad?"

The two brothers sang in harmony and helped Boss Gu stand up.

The grandchildren of the Gu family have not been sent to private schools. They have always adopted an economical method: they are taught by the only scholar Gu Mingda.

Nowadays, this scene of discord between father and son has been played out many times in the old Gu family, and Gu Mingda has long been used to it.

If his nephews were willing to learn, he would teach them more. If their nephews were unwilling to learn, he would watch them get beaten.

Although brothers Gu Yun and Gu Jin had strong mouths, Gu Gu's stick was even more powerful. After beating the two brothers severely, the two brothers were almost forced to sit in front of the sand table.

Gu Mingda picked up a piece of paper and wrote the word "xi" on it with a pen.

When the brothers Gu Yun and Gu Jin saw such complicated words, their faces suddenly wrinkled.

It was Gu Mingda's biological son, thirteen-year-old Gu Yan, who immediately looked at Niu Niu.

Niu Niu still didn't know what this word meant to her. She just tilted her little head and looked at the piece of paper strangely, thinking to herself, is this the legendary word recognition?

In the Zhang family, even if Niu Niu couldn't read, she would probably be beaten even if she touched Zhang Guangzong's books.

Gu Mingda said to Niu Niu: "This character is pronounced Xixi, and the morning sun welcomes guests and brightens the hill. It means that the road to the future is like the rising sun, bright and bright. You must remember that your name is Gu Xi."

For Gu Mingda's generation, the names were sorted as "Ming", and for Gu Yun's generation, the names were sorted as "日".

Apparently, Gu Mingda gave this title to his adopted daughter without consulting his family.

It was just a name for their daughter's family, and Gu Lao and Gu Lao Er both looked indifferent.

Chen Chunhua and Liu Erni are both illiterate and have no idea how special this word is, but they are the kind of people who feel as uncomfortable as crawling ants if they don't take advantage of it.

Chen Chunhua directly pushed her daughter Daya forward and said with a dry smile: "Her second uncle, you can't just name Niuniu. My Daya is also your niece!"

Liu Erni also pushed her daughter Xiaoya in front of Gu Mingda, her intention was obvious.

Gu Mingda didn't refuse and named the two children Gu Qing and Gu Xing respectively.

After Niuniu learned that this character was her name, she stared at the big characters without blinking, wishing she could learn how to write it now.

Gu Mingda did not treat one favorably and gave Niu Niu a branch and a sand table to practice calligraphy on the sand table.

Gu Daya's eyes grew hot when she saw it, and she turned to Chen Chunhua and said, "Mom, I also want to learn to read. Why should only the eldest and second brothers learn to read and not me?"

Chen Chunhua slapped her on the forehead and lectured: "Why are you a little girl learning to read? Do you have a sand table? Have you finished the clothes I asked you to sew?"

On the other hand, Gu Yun, the eldest brother, maybe out of brother-sister affection, maybe because he really didn’t want to learn such complicated characters, shouted anxiously: "Mom, I have a sand table, I will lend it to my sister! Let my sister learn how to read, I Don’t learn!”
