When Gu Mingda walked into the restaurant with Niuniu in his arms, the noodles were just served.

Zhang Yunniang only saw her husband holding a book in his hand, and didn't see the so-called black turtle at all. She opened her mouth to ask, but saw her husband gently shook his head.

After years of tacit understanding between husband and wife, she immediately understood and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

Gu Mingda saw five bowls of plain noodles on the table and asked, "Did you just order noodles?"

Zhang Yunniang nodded.

Gu Mingda knew that his wife was always frugal, and said, "It's rare for the children to come to the county, so we always let them have some meat."

After that, Gu Mingda waved to the waiter of the roast chicken shop next door: "Please send us a cut roast chicken."

Zhang Yunniang didn't have time to speak at all, the shopkeeper took a roast chicken and started chopping it. The knife had already cut it, and if she stopped it at this time, she would be gossiped.

Gu Zhao cheered on the spot: "Great! There's roast chicken to eat!"

Niuniu's eyes also lit up, smelling the tempting aroma of roast chicken in the air, with anticipation in her eyes.

The roast chicken was ready, and it was immediately served after being cut.

Gu Mingda was the first to reach for his chopsticks, and before Gu Zhao could do anything, he stuffed two large chicken legs into Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang's bowls, and divided the two chicken wings between his two sons.

Gu Zhao frowned and said aggrievedly: "Dad, I used to eat large chicken legs, not small chicken legs!"

Zhang Yunniang immediately wanted to pick up the large chicken leg in the bowl and give it to her youngest son, but was stopped by Gu Mingda.

"This is what you should eat, you don't have to give it to him." Gu Mingda said.

Zhang Yunniang paused with her chopsticks.

Gu Mingda turned his head and looked at Gu Yan again, and asked: "Ayan, you come and tell your brother why you do this."

Hearing this, the thirteen-year-old Gu Yan nodded like a little adult.

"Third brother, is the big chicken leg a good thing?" Gu Yan asked.

Gu Zhao nodded vigorously and said, "Of course it is a good thing! Daddy always gave me one before, why didn't he give it to me this time? Does he not love me anymore?"

Gu Yan did not answer him directly, but said, "Do you remember the story of Kong Rong giving away pears that I told you before?"

Gu Zhao answered very honestly, "I don't remember."

Gu Yan did not seem to be too surprised to hear this, and said in a gentle voice, "Then let me tell you again. There was a child named Kong Rong. One day, his mother brought many pears home..."

Gu Yan's voice seemed to have some kind of magic. Although he was telling a story, Gu Zhao and Niuniu were drowsy and could hardly hold the bowls in their hands.

After Gu Yan finished the story, he concluded, "So, when dealing with people, we should know how to be humble and abide by the way of filial piety. Do you remember this time?"

Gu Zhao squinted his eyes, looking like he wanted to fall asleep while sitting. If Niuniu next to him had not been pulled by Gu Mingda, she would probably have fallen under the stool.

Gu Yan frowned slightly and raised his voice slightly: "Do you understand this story?"

Gu Zhao and Niuniu finally woke up from the inexplicable sleepiness, looked at him dazedly, and nodded blankly.

Gu Yan nodded contentedly and said: "Both of you are so sensible, so I am relieved."

Seeing that he felt that he had completed the task, he picked up the bowl and continued to eat noodles. Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Gu Yan's storytelling hypnosis method is still so effective. Gu Zhao has completely forgotten about the big chicken leg now.

Niuniu, on the other hand, suddenly raised her bowl: "Kong Rong gave up his pears, Niuniu gives the big chicken leg to Daddy!"

Gu Mingda was so happy when he heard this, and patted his daughter's head: "Niuniu, good girl, today is your first time to eat a big chicken leg, Daddy won't eat yours, I'll wait for you to give it to Daddy next time, okay?"

"Your daddy has eaten it many times, but you haven't, eat it quickly." Zhang Yunniang said on the side.

Niuniu stopped struggling after hearing this, and took a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face was blooming with a strange glow.

Seeing his daughter enjoying the meal, Gu Mingda's appetite also improved, and he asked, "Is it so delicious?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously: "It's so delicious! Better than wontons! Better than duck eggs! Better than chestnuts! Is this the most delicious thing in the world!"

Zhang Yunniang felt sad when she heard this. Roasted chicken, wontons, duck eggs, and chestnuts were all eaten by Niuniu after she left the Zhang family. In the child's poor memories, these were extremely rare delicacies.

Gu Mingda smiled and shook his head: "No, there are many things that are more delicious than roasted chicken. Daddy will buy cakes for Niuniu later. They are sweet, fragrant, and soft. When you bite them, it's like eating clouds in your mouth."

Listening to Gu Mingda's description, Niuniu felt as if she had entered a colorful dream.

She couldn't help but stretch out her little round hand and gently pinched her cheek. After feeling the touch, she finally confirmed that such a beautiful life was really not a dream!

After finishing the meal, the family just walked out of the small restaurant and saw an old man on the corner of the street carrying a string of candied haws and shouting: "Candied haws~ If it's not sweet, you don't have to pay~"

"Candied haws!" Gu Zhao shouted happily, and then rushed to the candied haws.

But just as he took a step, he seemed to be tripped by something, and his body couldn't help but tilt to the left.

Gu Mingda hugged Niuniu, and Gu Yan was always mature and steady. Therefore, Zhang Yunniang kept her attention on Gu Zhao. She noticed his movements immediately, grabbed the back of his neck, and managed to save her son from falling. Pulled back.

After ensuring that Gu Zhao did not fall, Gu Mingda and Gu Yan looked at Niu Niu at the same time.

Niu Niu opened her eyes wide and breathed a long sigh of relief. Then she turned to look at Gu Mingda and said, "Dad, the third brother didn't fall. I'm really not a bad guy!"

Gu Mingda nodded and said with great certainty: "Your third brother was about to fall, but because of your reminder, your mother kept paying attention to him, so he didn't fall. Niuniu, you are a lucky star!"

When Niu Niu heard this, her big eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and she was as happy as a light bird.

The family strolled around the county for a while, buying pastries for the children and a piece of meat from the pork shop. Before leaving, they sold the handkerchiefs embroidered by Zhang Yunniang to the embroidery shop.

Although Gu Zhao begged all the way, even if he avoided the wrestling, Gu Mingda kept his promise and refused to buy him candied haws this time.

The return trip went smoothly. When the ox cart entered the village, I saw several children at the entrance of the village looking forward to it.

"Second uncle is back! Second uncle is back!" Gu Daya shouted.

"It's meat! Second uncle bought meat again!" Gu Jin jumped up with joy.

For the three-bedroom children of the Gu family, every time Gu Mingda comes back from a trip, he always buys meat for the family and brings snacks to them, just like the Chinese New Year.

"Why are you buying us cloth again? Your father and I are so short of clothes. You have money left for Mingda to take the exam, so there is no need to buy anything for us!"

Even though Mrs. Gu said this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward when she spoke.

Chen Chunhua was shameless and came over and said: "Mom, you are not short of clothes, your grandchildren are in need, my family..."

As usual, Mrs. Gu interrupted the eldest daughter-in-law's nonsense and said: "Are you blinded by lard? You want to be greedy for the things that a son should be filial to his mother! Why have you only seen the second filial piety to me in these years? What's wrong with you and the eldest son? You don’t know how to buy me something!”

Liu Erni, the third daughter-in-law who was on the side and was about to make a move, immediately retracted her outstretched hand when she heard her sister-in-law being scolded.

Chen Chunhua, however, has always been a shameless person. She touched her nose and said, "I'm not afraid that you have too much material to use up. Don't spoil it."

"Bah! Major General, your abacus fell on my face! You have time to act here, you might as well feed the chickens!" Mrs. Gu scolded me.

Mrs. Gu is not a fool. She can wear this fabric herself and take it as a gift to her relatives, but she cannot give it to the other two rooms.

Suck the blood of one son to subsidize the other two sons. Isn't this deliberately disappointing the second son and making the family uneasy?

She is not that stupid old lady who is biased!
