The 1970s Educated Youth

Chapter 154

◎New Year◎

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, a family of four went to the city to do some shopping.

Cheng Yanzhou took Gu Guanning to see the popcorn that she had been curious about for a long time. A big black iron ball was roasting back and forth on the fire. When it was strong, there was a loud bang, and the white popcorn rushed into the snakeskin bag. inside.

The popcorn was still hot and sweet in the mouth. Cheng Yanzhou exchanged the corn for a sack, which was enough for Gu Wanning to eat until he got tired of it.

The next day, New Year's Eve, they made dumplings in the morning. After the lunch break, the two chefs took turns going into the kitchen to show off their skills.

Before seven o'clock, a table with good meals and dishes was set.

Gu Heting turned on the radio and set up a stool and dishes.

Especially arrange his own position farthest from the sweet and sour fish.

Gu Guanning turned around, and when the two chefs weren't paying attention, he also took the braised pork with tiger skin and eggs and placed it at the seat farthest away from him.

The brother and sister made such an arrangement, and in the end, Gu Guanning had sweet and sour fish on hand, and Gu Heting had braised pork on hand.

At the same time, the two of them stared at each other across the distance between two tables.

Gu Heting looked at the braised pork at hand and couldn't believe it. When had his sister been so kind to him?

"You don't want to eat this?"

Gu Guanning shook his head, rolled his eyes, and found a high-sounding reason, "You can eat it. Second brother, you must be tired of eating fish. Look at how thin you are. Hurry up and eat more meat."

Gu Heting: "..."

He looked outside and asked, "Is the moon coming out in the west?"

Gu Guanning became angry, "If you don't eat it, come back!"

Gu Heting immediately shut up.

The last thing served was a dish of braised pork with pickled vegetables, and there were also dumplings steaming on the pot.

There are fish and shrimps, braised pork and braised pork with pickled vegetables, fried chicken leg steaks and Kung Pao chicken, as well as a fragrant bamboo shoot bone soup made with chicken skeletons and pork bones, and pots of meatballs, potatoes and braised beans. Stir-fried cabbage with oil residue and stir-fried bacon with carrots and celery make a hearty New Year's Eve dinner.

Perhaps because of the Chinese New Year, Cheng Yanzhou did not forcefully ask Gu Guanning to eat eggs despite Gu Guanning's resistance.

Gu Guanning eats meat, vegetables and fish with open stomach. She has not wanted to eat eggs for the past six months.

Cheng Yanzhou and Uncle Xie didn't know what was going on, but they could see eggs in the dishes they cooked every day recently. Once or twice is okay, but every day...

Gu Guanning refused.

**

There were four people at the table, and with the radio playing New Year's greetings in the background, the New Year's Eve dinner had a festive and lively atmosphere.

Gu Guanning thinks this is mainly due to his second brother.

He may have said that.
