Gu Yundong rubbed the little girl’s fluffy yellow hair and smiled, “You’ll know when big sister makes it later.”
Gu Yunko swallowed, “It must be delicious.”
Gu Yundong went to the kitchen, took two apples, sliced them, and arranged them on a plate. She handed it to Gu Yunko, who had followed her in, “Take it to the main hall and eat with your brother and mother.”
“What’s this?” The little girl looked curiously at the juicy apple slices arranged in a circle and tentatively touched them with her little finger.
Gu Yundong was touched by her cute gesture and directly stuffed a slice into her mouth. “This is a sand fruit. It’s delicious, but a bit expensive. You can’t waste it, okay?”
Gu Yunko took a bite, crisp and juicy, sweeter than wild jujubes. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she held the plate carefully, nibbling on it bit by bit.
“Go on.” Gu Yundong pushed her gently, and the little girl went to find her brother with the plate.
Gu Yundong rolled up her sleeves, washed the rice, and started cooking. She also threw two large pieces of firewood into the stove.
Then she washed her hands and quickly made a cold dish of cucumber, fresh and refreshing. She didn’t dare to add any chili since the kids couldn’t eat spicy food.
Next, she chopped the eggplant and minced some meat to make minced meat eggplant.
Then she beat three eggs and steamed a large bowl of steamed eggs, sprinkled with chopped green onions, bright yellow and green, making it appetizing.
Then she started cooking the braised pork. She had bought pork belly, which cost twenty-five wen per jin. Meat in the city was particularly expensive.
Gu Yundong had learned to cook from a young age, and she would occasionally treat herself when she lived alone. Although her cooking skills couldn’t compare to those of chefs in big restaurants, they weren’t bad either.
So when Aunt Ke walked in, she smelled the rich aroma and subconsciously swallowed.
Following the scent, she walked into the kitchen and saw Gu Yundong busy cooking. Then she saw the several dishes on the dining table, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed.
Gu Yundong turned her head and saw her. She wiped her hands and said, “Auntie’s back. Take a break, and I’ll cook some soup, and then we can eat.”
Aunt Ke tried hard to look away, restraining her expression as she said stiffly, “It’s still early. You take your time cooking. I can just have a bowl of noodles by myself. It’ll be quick.”
Gu Yundong smiled, “Auntie, you’re being polite. Yesterday, you worked hard to cook dinner for our family of four. How could I let you eat noodles alone? Let’s eat together later. When I was cooking, I counted you in. If you don’t eat, it’ll be a waste.”
Aunt Ke glanced at her and walked away with her hands behind her back, muttering to herself, “What waste? If we can’t finish it for lunch, we can have it for dinner. Such a young girl, doesn’t know what she’s saying.”
She went to her room on her own, leaving Gu Yundong a bit stunned.
Was that a yes? Or a no?
Forget it, she didn’t care. She turned around and started cooking the last dish, winter melon tofu soup.
When she finished ladling the soup into bowls, she saw three heads peeking into the kitchen doorway, sniffing and inhaling desperately.
Gu Yundong suppressed a laugh and asked Gu Yushu to call Aunt Ke. It was time to eat.
Gu Yushu hurriedly turned around, but Aunt Ke was already on her way over.
She walked straight up to Gu Yundong and said seriously, “Hold out your hand. This is for you.”
