after the death of the husband

Successful.

Gu Ye happily held up the zongzi and showed it to Ji Tang and Gu Weihong.

"Yes, yes, our Xiaoxia is the best." Ji Tang nodded Gu Ye's nose with his wet hand, "Little people eat small rice dumplings, and adults eat big rice dumplings. You can make your own and eat it yourself. We can eat it in one bite." It's gone..."

"Hmph, little dad, don't look down on people. I'm going to make it for you, big dad, and Grandpa Gu. Everyone has something sweet and salty." Gu Ye wrinkled his nose and retorted Ji Tang.

Then he said to Gu Weihong who was sitting on the other side of the sofa: "Big Daddy, what do you think of my wrapping?"

Gu Weihong didn't expect that Gu Ye was going to make zongzi for himself, so he was stunned for a moment before he realized it. Seeing Gu Ye's eyes narrowed with a smile, and proudly showing it to himself, Gu Weihong's heart moved, and then he slowly smiled and nodded seriously. , "Big Daddy saw that Xiao Xia was wrapping up very well, and Xiao Xia will definitely pack more and better."

"Yes, our Xiao Xia is really smart and skillful. He learned it all at once. Then Grandpa Gu is waiting for the rice dumplings made by Xiao Xia for Grandpa Gu." Like Gu Weihong, the old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and was very moved. It's all a bit sour. I haven't been married all my life, and I didn't expect to enjoy the blessings of grandchildren in the rest of my life.

Gu Weihong and the old butler have been dependent on each other for a lifetime. Of course, he can feel the grievances in the old butler's heart. He put down the newspaper, poured a cup of tea for the old butler himself, handed it to the old butler, and comforted him in a low voice: "You can enjoy yourself, Our Xiao Xia is a filial child, and you are his real grandfather."

"Hey, good, good." The old housekeeper shook Peng Ze's teacup with trembling old hands, and said a few good words repeatedly.

Gu Ye learned the lesson from the first time and the success of the second time. For the third time, he prepared to wrap a bigger one than the second one. He carefully folded the rice dumpling leaves and filled the hole inside, but it was still difficult at the end. One step, I really can't help it because my hands are too small. With a slight movement, the zong leaves will tend to spread, and the glutinous rice inside will keep falling from the seams at the sharp corners.

Gu Ye had no choice but to ask for help again, but Ji Tang and the servant beside him were both packing bags, so they had nothing to help Gu Ye.

Gu Weihong looked at it, then stood up, walked over, and stretched out his hand to help Gu Ye press the zongzi firmly.

Gu Weihong had big hands, and he could hold the rice dumplings firmly with one hand, so Gu Ye was free to use the string to tie the rice dumplings, but there was another problem, Gu Ye was weak and his hands were not flexible enough. The last few times I couldn’t tie the slipknot, so I had to tie a dead knot. Not to mention the fast knot, the knot was not very tight, but the knot was already dead and couldn’t be untied. This was the only way I could do it. Do not let it fall apart while cooking.

Gu Ye tried another one, but in the end Gu Weihong took over. Gu Ye tied the knot by himself, but it really didn’t work. No matter the slipknot or the dead knot, it was always loose. The zongzi was not tied firmly at all, so the glutinous rice inside would definitely fall apart when it was cooked. come out.

Gu Ye worriedly looked at the zongzi placed on the plate, and always felt that the two zongzi would fall apart, and it was a pity that the zongzi he had worked so hard to make ended up being ruined by the knot he tied.

Gu Weihong saw it, and felt that Gu Ye's hard work should not be wasted. He said, "You will be the next one, and I will tie it up for you. Let's divide the work and cooperate."

With the help of big daddy who was willing to join in, Gu Ye's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

In this way, Gu Weihong also joined the ranks of making zongzi, and together with Gu Ye, they wrapped one by one.

Gu Ye tried several times later, and failed several times. He had to realize the implementation. He really couldn't make a rice dumpling as big as his little father, and he couldn't hold it in his hands, so he had to continue making a circle of smaller rice dumplings. , let’s make it small, at least it can be completely packaged without leaking.

Finally, a pot of glutinous rice was wrapped, and several people made a pot of zongzi. The servant took the zongzi to the back kitchen to cook, and the old housekeeper ordered someone to clean up the table.

Ji Tang, Gu Ye and Gu Weihong washed their hands and sat on the sofa to rest.

Ji Tang didn't know how many zongzi he had made, and he didn't feel it when he made them. Now, once he rested, his hands felt sore, and his hands kept touching the water during the making process, and now his fingertips were wrinkled.

The same is true for Gu Ye, although he didn't wrap much, but there are still eleven or twenty, because Gu Ye is afraid that he won't wrap well, and it will leak during cooking, so he wrapped a few more, at least a few are good Bar.

The rice dumplings took a long time to cook, and when it was time for lunch, the rice dumplings were not ready, so they had to eat lunch first.

After lunch, the zongzi was finally ready.

The butler ordered the zongzi to be brought up, and the strong aroma of zongzi leaves wafted to the nostrils.

It was a little hot, and when Gu Ye reached out to grab the rope that tied the rice dumplings together, he was scalded by the steaming heat.

Blowing on his fingers, Gu Ye was eager to see.

It's not that I haven't eaten zongzi before, but this is the first time I made it by myself, so it has a special meaning.

The old butler ordered his servants to help cut out the rice dumplings, peel them off and put them on the plates in front of everyone.

Gu Ye first proposed to try the ones made by himself, and the ones Gu Ye made were a little smaller, so it was best to tell them apart, so there was a small rice dumpling in front of the plates of several people.

Ji Tang looked at the zongzi on his plate, one corner was missing, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Look at the missing corner, you know that Xiao Xia can make it."

Gu Ye couldn't help but blush, he didn't tie a few of them tightly, and in the last action of wrapping up, although the zong leaves didn't fall apart, the bottom of the funnel was still cracked, and when it was cooking, it was tumbling. In the water, the glutinous rice ran out from the crack.

But even if the presentation is not good, the few people who ate it praised it for their face.

Gu Ye's ears turned red when he heard it.

The servants are very careful. The young master and Mr. Ji want to make zongzi. Anyway, the zongzi made by them must be special than theirs, but they can’t tell the difference when cooking, so the servants specially divided them. Different threads, Ji Tang and Gu Ye used colored threads to make rice dumplings, while the servants made white threads.

Gu Weihong waved his hand and asked the servant to go down. If you want to eat, you can cut the thread with scissors and put it on the plate to eat.

After Gu Weihong finished eating the small zongzi made by Gu Ye, he took scissors and cut a large zongzi with colored threads.

Ji Tang noticed it, and said with a smile, "Try how well I wrapped it?"

Gu Weihong picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. With a smile in his eyes, he nodded and said, "Very good."

Ji Tang was very happy when he was praised, and smiled at Gu Weihong.

The author says:

Happy Tanabata!

◎After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be Father's Day in a few days.

This morning, Gu Ye walked from upstairs◎

After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be Father's Day in a few days.

This morning, when Gu Ye came down from upstairs with his schoolbag on his back, Gu Weihong and Ji Tang were already sitting at the dining table.

"Big Daddy, Little Daddy, Happy Father's Day!"

Gu Ye said loudly.

"Thank you Xiaoxia."

"Thank you! Xiao Xia is so good!"

Then without knowing what came to mind, Gu Ye stood beside the chair, rubbed his toes on the floor, lowered his head halfway, a thin layer of blush slowly appeared on his face, as if he was shy, which surprised Gu Weihong, I know what happened to Gu Ye.

Turning his head to look at Ji Tang who was sitting next to him, Ji Tang was confident and sat firmly, looking at Gu Ye and smiling, as if he was waiting for Gu Ye or something.

After a while, I saw Gu Ye walking to Ji Tang's side and tugging on Ji Tang's sleeve. The smile on Ji Tang's face deepened, and he bent down gently. Gu Ye raised his head and kissed Ji Tang's face. kissed.

Gu Weihong didn't understand what was going on for a moment, why did he kiss him suddenly, after Gu Ye finished kissing, he walked to Gu Weihong's side.

Gu Weihong looked at Ji Tang, Ji Tang smiled and didn't explain what he wanted to do at all, so Gu Weihong had to imitate Ji Tang and leaned down, and then Gu Ye tiptoed to kiss Gu Weihong's face.

After the kiss, Gu Ye quickly ran back to his seat and sat down, lowering his head and drinking the porridge with a spoon.

Being kissed by Gu Ye made Gu Weihong feel a different kind of feeling in his heart, the intimacy of his own child to him, this kind of affectionate touch that Gu Weihong had never experienced before.

Gu Weihong had always been alone before. What happened to Gu Weihong when he was young made Gu Weihong cold-hearted, and he was very indifferent to family affection. The old housekeeper has been by his side for so many years, and his loyalty to the Gu family can be learned, so Gu Weihong has it in his heart. Then a little bit of location.

Gu Ye is his own child, and the two are connected by blood, which can never be separated. In fact, Gu Weihong himself did not feel any fatherly love. The old housekeeper just felt the loyalty and care of his subordinates. This is the first time that Gu Weihong himself has experienced each other. Give yourself father-son love.

Only then did Ji Tang explain: "Today is Father's Day. Xiaoxia School said that every child should wish their father a happy holiday and at the same time give their father a kiss. This is already a tradition in their school, and it is also Mother's Day."

Gu Weihong was stunned and couldn't help laughing, no wonder Ji Tang looked as stable as Mount Tai.

Ji Tang continued: "Xiao Xia has always been a little shy when it comes to kissing, and is not good at expressing it."

Gu Weihong glanced at Gu Ye who was about to bury his head in the bowl, with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Gu Weihong actually didn't care about Father's Day at all. It was when the two went downstairs together before dinner that Ji Tang reminded Gu Weihong that Xiao Xia would wish him a happy holiday in the morning, and Gu Weihong didn't know that today is Father's Day.

I thought it was just a blessing and it was over, but I didn't expect that there would be a surprise later, which Gu Weihong hadn't expected at all.

Seeing the smile in Ji Tang's eyes, Gu Weihong understood that it was Ji Tang's fault that he didn't remind later.
