I was the heir in ancient times

When Gu Baozhen saw those things, some unconcealable distress flashed in his eyes, but he pretended not to see anything, patted the bench beside him, and said to Zhitong: "Come on, sit down, sit in the small chair Next to uncle, little uncle will give you a big fish head, General Bai is very impressive today, this silver carp is not often caught!"

After hearing this, Zhitong didn't act immediately, but looked up at his mother with a head that was as big as his body.

Gu Baozhen also looked at the sister-in-law, and saw the sister-in-law nodded slightly, agreeing: "Then Zhitong will sit next to your little uncle, remember what mother said to you, don't make any noise when you eat, don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep , you have to do it."

"Yes, mother."

After Xiao Zhitong finished speaking, he tiptoed up to the stool next to Gu Baoyu by himself. He didn't need anyone to hug him. Gu Baoyu felt guilty for a second—he let his third brother hug him and sit on it just now.

Because of what the sister-in-law said just now, Gu Baozhen realized that no one seemed to be the first to speak at the dinner table today.Gu Baoyu couldn't hold it back anymore, he looked at the two pots of dishes today, one was silver carp and shrimp soup, and the other was fried sweet potatoes.

Speaking of the sweet potato dish, Gu Baozhen said that it would be sweeter to eat raw, but he couldn't get used to it after frying.

He opened his big smart eyes and looked at his old lady. He didn't have to reach out to reach for the vegetables. The old lady smiled and scooped up a bunch of small shrimps and soaked them in the bowl that tore up the black-faced buns.

This black-faced steamed bun is actually when the noodles are ground, and the bran is also ground into it, so that it looks more floury and can be eaten by more people, but the taste also plummets. This is the first time I eat this kind of steamed bun. Gu Baozhen felt like he was swallowing some kind of hard sponge, his voice was hoarse that day, and he was scolded by the third brother as 'squeamish'.

It's just that the whole family will take care of him from then on. As long as they eat rough food, they have to make some soup, no matter if it's egg and green melon soup or ground vegetable stewed soup, anyway, it must be able to make soft steamed buns Soup for him to eat.

Gu Baozhen knew about the careful care of the family. He had been an adult anyway, so how could he not understand it?

Seeing that his mother had dug out most of the shrimps for himself, Gu Baozhen quickly shook his little hand and said, "Mom, I'm healed, I can't eat so much."

In the age when food was scarce, Gu Baozhen didn’t dare to eat too much. He is a child, so it’s okay to eat less. The most important thing is that his two twin brothers are both 13 years old, and they are only 1.4 meters. In his era, A 12-year-old boy looks 1.6 meters seven!You can't be shorter than the third brother!

But his words don't count. As the current top leader of the Gu family, although my mother is easy to talk to most of the time, very kind, and soft-hearted, she is never willing to compromise in taking care of him, even if she eats less. Give him more.

"Okay, there's still more in the pot, you and Zhitong both eat more, you, eat more and go out with your brothers, Zhitong eat more, so you can study hard." While saying, Gu Yangshi also dug a spoonful of dried shrimp soup into Zhitong's bowl, and finally let the other brothers open it to eat by themselves, anyway, the soup is enough.

Gu Baozhen likes everyone to sit and eat together, when the cool summer breeze blows over, a scent of earth blows through his hair, he is in a good mood, and uses a spoon to press the shredded black-faced steamed buns in the bowl into the soup to inhale Soup, and then start eating.

He eats slowly, likes to take a bite and chews for a long time. It seems that his throat is very small, so it is a little difficult to swallow.

Zhi Tong next to him was holding a bowl, drinking a mouthful of soup, and biting a mouthful of steamed buns. In Gu Baozhen's eyes, his movements were indeed very elegant. He had the same aristocratic temperament as his sister-in-law. He was quite envious, so he sat upright unconsciously, holding a spoon Digging a piece of steamed bun and stuffing it into his mouth, he felt that he should have some temperament.

Seeing Xiao Qi like that, Gu Yang, San Gou'er, the fourth and the fifth child couldn't help laughing together, probably thinking that Xiao Qi's bulging cheeks are tender and pouty, flickering, extremely cute.

Finally, everyone got off the table, and Gu Baoyu hadn’t finished eating. Seeing that Zhitong beside him hadn’t eaten the fish head, he quickly called Zhitong who was about to leave the table, and said, “The fish head is the most nourishing for the brain, and it also has fish eyes. Eat it.” If you want to improve your eyesight, eat it quickly!"

Zhitong frowned, and glanced at mother again, seeing mother nodded and then went to make the bed, then sat beside Baoyu again, and the two five-year-old children slowly ate together.

"The meat inside the fish head is the most tender meat, Zhitong, you should eat more, depending on how thin you are." Gu Baoyu said worriedly to Zhitong.

Zhi Tong's hair was meticulously combed into a boy's head by his mother, and there was not a single broken hair on his forehead. He lowered his eyes to look at the big fish head in the bowl, and then at the steamed bun mixed with fish soup in his uncle's bowl. , his eyes fell on the little uncle's hand that was still holding the small wooden spoon, he paused, and said softly: "Little uncle, don't you know how to use chopsticks?"

As soon as Gu Baoyu stopped eating, he hurriedly restored his image and said, "I can, but you can only use a spoon for this mess, otherwise you won't be able to pick it up."

"Uncle, do you eat fish eyes?" The Zhitong kid probably only talked a little more when his mother was away.

Gu Baozhen said without any impatience: "If you don't eat, I'll give you all. You need it more."

But even though Gu Baozhen said it so proudly, Zhitong still carefully picked out the meat from the fish head and put it in Gu Baozhen's bowl. The fish eyes were also one for each person, as if only in this way could he eat the fish head with peace of mind.

Gu Baozhen thought to himself, Zhi Tong didn't know whether he was taught too well by his sister-in-law, or if he was taught stupidly.

Generally, children at this age like to win the attention of the whole family the most. They are either arguing about eating the best food or grabbing other people's toys. Why is Zhitong different from other children?

Anyway, he didn't consider himself a child, he always worried about other people's mental health, but his old mother was always thinking, why is his little seven so obedient?Everything is for the sake of adults and elder brother, why don't you go out and get dirty like ordinary boys, and then get beaten up?

The old Gu’s dinner was about the longest in Daoliang County. After all the tables were cleared, Gu Baozhen took his own small bowl to the kitchen to put it away, and then ran to the back room to wait for the fourth brother to serve him Water for washing feet, washing face, etc. come over.

At this time, it will be dark, and everyone will go back to their own houses.

In the back room connected to the main room, Gu Baozhen, the sixth elder brother Gu Ping'an, and the old lady slept together.

In the partial house, the sister-in-law, mother and son sleep together.

The third, fourth and fifth brothers sleep in the leaky room near the kitchen and warehouse.

But since there wasn't much hot water, Gu Baozhen could tell stories to his little nephew Zhitong while washing his hands.

While he was telling Zhi Tong the story of the Monkey King, he soaked his feet together with Zhi Tong. Zhi Tong's feet did not move in the water. Gu Baozhen was not as peaceful as Zhi Tong. Zhu Zhitong raised his eyebrows, and used his own feet to scratch the soles of Zhitong's feet, making Zhitong's face that was always stern like a little old man instantly turn red.

In the end, Zhitong couldn't help it, bit his lower lip and raised his foot with a 'crash', then looked at Gu Baozhen resentfully.

Gu Baozhen responded with a bright and mischievous smile.

Gu Baozhen felt that perhaps Zhi Tong's happy time was the time when he was soaking his feet, so no matter what he did with him, Zhi Tong was looking forward to it, and even the resentment was very happy.

However, the happy time is always short-lived. The sister-in-law in the side room quickly came over and took Zhitong away, saying that the "Thousand Characters" that I had recited during the day had not been successfully recited, so I had to go back and recite it all night.

Gu Baozhen knew that this meant that his dear little nephew was not allowed to sleep until he finished reciting it.

Seeing the back of his little nephew being taken away by his sister-in-law, Gu Baozhen endured it, and suddenly pulled his white and tender feet out of the hand of his old lady who was still wiping his feet, thrust them into the oversized shoes, and stepped on the heels of the shoes He dragged his shoes and ran out, stood at the door of the main room and said to his sister-in-law who was still in the yard:

"Sister-in-law, can I sleep with Zhitong today? I haven't been with him for a long time."

The high-cold sister-in-law held a handkerchief that never left her hand, looked at him indifferently, then lowered her head and asked Zhitong coldly: "Zhitong, do you want to sleep with your little uncle today, or go with your mother?" Recite a thousand-character text?"

As long as Zhitong is in the sight of the sister-in-law, it seems to be a robot that can only read, and replied in a childish voice: "I'm sorry, little uncle, I want to study some other day."

Hearing this, Gu Baozhen immediately felt quite boring, making him seem like some kind of bad guy, who specially sabotages the progress of good students!

Read, read, read your big book!I do not care!

Gu Baoyu ran back to the back room angrily, jumped onto the kang, and threw himself into the arms of the old lady who was already sitting on the kang and sorting out the letters.

Gu Yangshi hurriedly caught his little girl, coaxed him with an 'Oh, oh, oh', and said, "Don't be sad, let's play with your sixth brother, Zhitong is different from you."

Gu Baozhen couldn't agree, what's the difference?Just because it is very likely to be a grandson, do you have to obliterate the child's nature, be strictly restrained, beat all over the body with injuries and forcefully grow up?Maybe he is not a pure ancient person, he thinks it is more reasonable to combine work and rest.

The author has something to say: The Liu family really despised the Gu family's pedigree and lack of culture, so they were moved to give away a daughter, which can be regarded as a future for their family.

Baoyu is quite special, he is the mother's old son, a child born in his 40s, so it is normal to spoil him.

In ancient times, it was very important to have a child in the forties, but the quality of old children is actually not good, because the older the man is, the worse the quality is, so the old children are generally weaker.
