Chapter 210: Engagement Dinner (2)
The grown-ups were still in shock, but the children could not wait any longer . They could hardly restrain themselves just now in the kitchen . Their older cousin had seen their greedy looks, and had given them two pieces of meat each, but nothing else .
To children who seldom got to eat meat, this table of dishes was just too alluring . They did not care where the food had come from .
The youngest, Gu Jinzhi, was gulping furiously, his eyes fixed on the meat on the table . “FFather, can we eat?”
Gu Yunshen looked at the children, whose faces were filled with longing, and immediately said, “Let’s eat, let’s eat . We can talk after eating . ”
He hurriedly called everyone to sit down .
The adults wanted to drink, so they sat together . Gu Qingyao led the other children to sit at the other side of the table and Li Fangting sat with Gu Qingyao .
When she saw the entire table laden with food, she froze .
Gu Qingyao smiled and gave her a piece of braised rabbit . “Eat this quickly . Look at your younger cousins, they’re all acting like bandits . If you don’t eat, there’ll be nothing left . ”
The four children were extremely good that day . They did not waste a single word . They simply buried their heads in their bowls and ate .
Their mouths glistened with oil as they gnawed on the meat .
Even Gu Yunjing, Gu Yundong, Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt, and even Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinye ate faster than usual . They could not restrain themselves!
Only the two old people, Gu Yunshen, and Gu Jinlin, who had been at home for a few days, were calmer .
He was both amused and sad to see the little ones gnawing on meat like small bandits, until their mouths were covered with oil . He had thought that Gu Qingyao was being too conspicuous, but when he saw the children, he could not bear to say anything .

The Gu family had been major landlords . He had a good life when he was young . But these children had been born in bad times . They had never had anything nice to eat since they were born .
“Eat! Let’s all eat!”
Gu Conghua raised his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat .
The entire family was in one accord as they ate . None of them spoke a word . They only focused on eating .
Gu Yunshen said he wanted to have a drink with everyone, but they were all busy with their chopsticks, and there was no mention of drinking and chatting .
The food disappeared with astonishing speed and all the dishes were wiped clean!

Gu Yunjing and Gu Yundong were grown men, and the three older cousins were adults . They usually worked outside the home, and had especially large appetites .
There was so much food on the table, but in the end, there was nothing left .
Eldest Uncle, Gu Yunjing, rubbed his stomach contentedly . “Yao Yao has grown up! Her cooking is too good!”
Gu Jinlin ate so much that he could not stop burping . Among the families, his was the poorest . His family’s occupations were different from that of Eldest and Second Uncle, and their salaries were lower . He also had two younger brothers, so their circumstances were poorer .
Even though he had eaten his younger cousin’s cooking for so long, he could help but fill his stomach when he saw the meat .
After the meal, the three older cousins volunteered to wash up .

It was still early . Although it was now completely dark, it was not too late . They started a fire by the storage room and the adults warmed themselves around the fire as they chatted . The three older cousins went to the kitchen to scrub the pots, wash the dishes and boil water for washing their feet .
Li Fangting went back to see her mother after she had finished eating .
Gu Yunshuang had also just finished her meal . Her bowl and chopsticks were placed on the bedside table .
She was still recovering from her miscarriage . She had not yet finished the chicken soup that Gu Qingyao made for her yesterday . They only let the children have some, and saved the rest for her .
