Chapter 29
At first, it was just faint, dispensable, and then the smell became stronger and stronger. Everyone in the Li family, including the sleeping grandson Goudan, was also lured by the smell and opened their eyes. There was a sound of purring, rubbing his eyes and sitting up from mother's arms, almost broke free from mother's hand, ran towards the place where the fragrance came out, and was caught by his father.

Li Da stretched his head and looked at the side room opposite. Through the door, he could clearly see a clay pot on top of the glowing red fire, and the fragrance was coming from there.

For a while, the Li family was silent again. They were all very curious about where the fish came from, and it smelled very fresh, especially the puppy's saliva was already drooling, even the adults couldn't help it saliva.

Here, it was almost time, Gulan grabbed two handfuls of withered grass and brought down the pot. The delicious buns couldn't bear it, and stared at the pot.

But he didn't dare to move even if his mother didn't move, watching the clay pot drooling.

After the fish soup was served, Gu Lan took out the pepper from the space, pinched a pinch and sprinkled it into the fish soup. It would be more perfect if there was coriander, which is a pity.

Resisting the urge to get the sesame oil, Gu Lan stood up and told Xiao Baozi to be honest, and walked towards the house where the Li family lived temporarily.

When the fish soup was being boiled, she had already thought about it and sent a bowl to Li's house.

Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as acquaintances, and they have no relationship at all, but they have shown kindness more than once. It is a lie for Gulan to say that she is not moved. After all, this is the first kindness she has felt since she came here.

The reason why she went to Li's house empty-handed was to borrow bowls, after all, she couldn't always pick up bowls.

An An: "..."

Mother, you continue to pick it up, An An doesn't know anything.

"Li... Uncle Li, can you lend me a big bowl?" In fact, Gu Lan subconsciously wanted to call Aunt Li, but now she thought that she was a man and quickly changed her words.

"Bowl, oh yes, his mother will bring a big bowl for Gu Lan."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

"Just one bowl is not worth it."

"Brother Gu, what are you cooking? It smells so good." After all, Youngest Li couldn't help asking.

"Just call me Gulan, the fish soup." Gulan replied, taking the big bowl from Mrs. Li.

Aunt Li: "Is it enough? But I'll get you another one."

"Enough, enough," Gu Lan nodded hurriedly.

"Okay, you can borrow anything from me. There are still some other household chores that I dare not say to eat."

"Good lady, I won't be polite."

Holding the bowl, she smiled at Aunt Li and turned back to the opposite side.

Then, under An An's surprised gaze, he poured a bowl of fish soup and a piece of fish, and went to the opposite side again.

"Uncle Li, I have cooked a lot of fish soup, so you can share this bowl." Gulan put the fish soup in the hand of Li Da who was closest to her.

Li Da, who was suddenly stuffed with a bowl of fish soup, didn't dare to move. He wanted to push it back, but he was afraid of spilling the fish soup.

This thing is usually considered rare, let alone in this period, it is too precious, and he is reluctant to give it away.

"This... this..." Li Da suddenly didn't know what to say, and everyone else stared at the fish soup in Li Da's hand with wide eyes, especially the children couldn't help swallowing.

Old man Li sighed at the hopeless family who wanted to stare at them. The fish soup was so delicious, let alone the children, he couldn't help it.

I also understood why Guy Gu came to borrow bowls from them just now, it turned out to be here.

"You can't help it, you and your child can keep something as good as fish soup for yourself." Old man Li quickly declined.

"I have some more. This bowl is specially given to you. Uncle Li and I are being polite, aren't you? I was not polite when I borrowed the bowl just now. Let's not talk about it. An'an is in the house by herself. I will go there first."

Gu Lan nodded slightly and walked away quickly, mainly because she was afraid of wasting words, neither before nor now is she a person who talks a lot.

"Hey... Gu Xiao..." Looking at Gu Lan who had already returned to the opposite room, the speed was so fast that the old man Li Lai didn't even have time to finish his words.

"What about the old man?" Aunt Li asked, pointing to a large bowl of fish soup in her son's hand.

"Let's split it up," Old Man Li couldn't ignore the eyes of his children and grandchildren, and said, it just seemed that he owed favors again.

In this way, each family took two bites in turn, and a bowl of soup quickly bottomed out. At the same time, they found a fish slightly larger than a palm at the bottom of the bowl.

They didn't even dare to think about fish, and they were already very happy to drink fresh fish soup. This was one of the few opportunities they had for a long time since they fled the famine.

In the end, the fish was distributed to the younger grandchildren, and the youngest grandson shared a little more. After eating the dog eggs, he still licked the bottom of the bowl.

Gulan took his son to eat the remaining soup and a piece of fish, took the fishbone out and threw it outside and buried it with soil.

The fishbone was too sharp to be eaten by Dahei, if he cut his intestines, he would have to wait to die.

Then he rinsed the earthen pot with clean water and poured it to Dahei, who drank the fishy-smelling water completely.

Then she packed up her things and put them in the back basket. With something hidden in her heart, she didn't stop pulling her son to Old Man Li's side again.

"Sit down and talk if you have something to say." Gu Lan came over, and Old Man Li motioned for his eldest son to move over a wooden pier.

Gu Lan didn't hesitate to pull his son to sit down, and An An obediently leaned against her mother's lap.

Old man Li: "Gu boy, what can't be said just now?"

"It's not impossible to say, I'm afraid you are in a hurry, so I waited for a while."

"I'm afraid we are in a hurry." Li Da took over the words, a little unclear.

After looking at the family, they are all there, so there is nothing to worry about.

The rest of the Li family were also confused by this sentence, and everyone looked at Gu Lan in confusion.

Old man Li: "Boy Gu, don't be a fool"

"Is the fish soup delicious? Fresh."

"Fish soup..." Old man Li and his sons frowned at the same time, why did they switch to fish soup again?

Fish soup, fish... soup... Suddenly Li Laofu seemed to think of something?His eyes lit up, could it be that...

Li Da and the others obviously thought of this. The fish soup is indeed very fresh. Only freshly killed fish can make such a fresh soup, which means that the fish was caught by Brother Gu.

Immediately, the brothers looked at Gu Lan excitedly, almost scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry.

"Gu boy, it's not what I thought." Old man Li couldn't believe it. This kid must have been lucky. He actually found water and caught fish.

No wonder he came back so late. It turned out that he was looking for water. Old man Li immediately got the truth.

Gu Lan nodded, hugged and leaned on his son, the boy finally couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to sleep.

Now the brothers of the Li family can't calm down anymore. They finally figured out why Brother Gu had to eat before telling them. If they knew how they could wait for Brother Gu to have a good meal at that time, they would have wished Brother Gu to take them there now. Where there is water.

The water buckets in the car were all dry, only the water bladders were left with water, and they couldn't last long if they couldn't find any water.

That is, Aunt Li took her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to bed, otherwise there would be more excited people in the room.

Li Da and the others stood still in excitement, and just about to ask where the water source of Gulan was, their eyes met the son in Gulan's arms, and they abruptly stopped speaking.
