"An’an doesn't want meat buns. An’an only wants mother." An An circled her arms around Gu Chunzhu's neck then leaned on her.
Gu Chunzhu felt the warmth of the little girl's tears on her neck, this little rascal had actually started crying.
She felt distressed and funny.
She now surpassed the meat buns in An An's heart.
Xiaocheng saw that Gu Chunzhu couldn't cook. He lightly tugged An An and said,
"Come down, your brother is hungry and wants to eat."
Gu Chunzhu was satisfied to see him express his thoughts, but An An turned and shook her head at him.
When Gu Chunzhu was a child, she remembers being left in her grandparent's house in her previous life.
She also hoped that her parents would pick her up every day. She didn't want Xiaocheng and An An to live such a life.
"Alright, tomorrow I'll go to town and sell shrimps for half a day."
Gu Chunzhu held An An with one hand and stretched out her little fingers.
An An's soft radish-like little thumb hung on her hand.
The little girl issued a satisfied "hum".
After setting down An'an on the dining table, two streaks of tears were on the little girl's face, pitiful like a puppy.
Gu Chunzhu took out the osmanthus candy they didn't finish yesterday and divided it between the two children.
She smiled and went back to cook.
After cooking the rice, she put it aside and covered it with a bowl upside down to prevent it from cooling.
They have previously eaten the large intestines. This time, Gu Chunzhu cut the pig's lungs into thin slices and fried it crispy along with Chinese cabbage and vinegar.
Immediately after Su Wangqin was finished, he came back carrying two buckets of shrimp.
"Brother Wang, I have something to tell you." Looking at the shrimps, Gu Chunzhu put the rice out and urged Xiao Cheng to serve. She told Su Wangqin: "I think I'll sell shrimps in town for just half a day. I'm not at ease leaving the two children at home."
"Okay" Su Wangqin agreed in one breath and has no objection to Gu Chunzhu's decision.
"There have been fewer shrimps in the river recently. Sister Fu has been fishing for a whole day and only got half a barrel.
Lao san told me that he spent money to fish in the next village for a day. The people in the next village were red eyed and also wanted to learn how to fish for shrimps. This business may not last long."
(Red eyed = an expression of envy and jealousy)
Su Wangqin expressed his worries.
"I've asked elder brother Dafu if there's available work for me in town."
"Alright, we'll think about something else."
Gu Chunzhu responded and the family of four began to eat.
While eating, a person came back to deliver shrimp.
"Brother Wangqin is eating."
The visitor was not embarrassed either. He put the barrel at the kitchen door and looked at them
