My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Gu Lili took two steps at a time and walked up to the three people and asked anxiously.

The two little ones looked up at Gu Lili, then lowered their heads again.

Gu Erniu tilted his head to one side unnaturally, looking unhappy. It was obvious that this matter was related to Gu Erniu.

Gu Lili said seriously, "Erniu, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Gu Erniu pouted and muttered softly, "Sister, it costs a lot of money to buy these things. Have you run out of money? Are we going to have to live the same life as before?"

Before they separated, Aunt Gu would buy these things at the market during the Chinese New Year.

At that time, he heard Second Aunt Gu and Gu Chuan muttering that these things were not cheap.

Gu Lili was stunned for a moment. Although she was the eldest sister, the money was Gu Shan’s pension, and every child had the right to control it.

It was indeed wrong to buy these things without discussing it with others.

These three children are obviously afraid of hunger.

"Erniu, I..." Gu Lili was about to explain.

Gu Erniu interrupted Gu Lili and said in a panic, "Sister, tomorrow I will go to Uncle Dali in the village to learn how to hunt. I will earn money to support you in the future!"

In fact, he didn't want to blame Gu Lili for spending money. He knew that these things were bought by his sister for them to eat and use.

It was like this in the past. No matter what was available at home, my sister would follow my mother's example and feed them first and then eat herself.

Even if it was a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, she would give the thick part to them and eat the thin part herself.

He didn't even know how much five taels of silver was, and they all thought the money had been spent.

His mouth is too dumb, he can't express anything he wants to.

He was just blaming himself. Although he was the oldest boy in the family, he still couldn't share the family responsibilities with his sister.

Gu Huanhuan also sobbed and said, "Sister, tomorrow I will take the four dogs to the fields to weed properly. I will also eat less and will not let you faint from hunger again."

Gu Sigou also nodded heavily, "Yes, sister, we won't let you faint from hunger again."

Gu Lili's nose suddenly felt sore. These three silly kids...

Gu Lili raised her head to try not to let her tears fall.

After a while, she adjusted her mood. Gu Lili jumped up again and gave Gu Erniu a slap on the face. "Gu Erniu, you are so stupid! How could you have no money after buying so few things? Go wash your hands and get ready to eat. After dinner, come with me to make lard."

Gu Erniu covered his head and burst into tears. His sister had hit him three times since she woke up yesterday...

However, he likes such a fierce sister, so that his sister will not be bullied in the future.

When the two children heard that the money had not been used up, they smiled happily.

When they saw Gu Erniu covering his head after being beaten, they all covered their heads and quickly followed Gu Lili to eat.

They were afraid that Gu Lili would also jump up and give them a slap in the face.

Since they had no worries, the three children ate their meals with great relish.

Tonight they were still eating shepherd's purse porridge. Because they were making lard, they ate it very quickly.

After eating, Gu Huanhuan went to wash the dishes while Gu Lili started cutting the fatty pork.

Gu Lili originally wanted to buy lard for refining, but lard was a little more expensive.

As she cut, she put the fat directly into the pot.

She also added a bowl of water to the pot so that the fat in the lard could be released more cleanly and thoroughly.

This will produce more lard. At the same time, adding water can make the oil residue crispier and taste better.

The oil in the pan soon began to boil and the aroma wafted out.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much meat today, and although the pot was broken, it didn’t reach the gap.

Otherwise, if the oil leaks, it will be wasted.

Gu Huanhuan had already washed the dishes, and was now sitting around the earthen stove with Gu Sigou, drooling.

Even Gu Erniu, who was stoking the fire, stood up and stared at the boiling pot.

Gu Lili couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the white pork turning golden, Gu Lili hurriedly told Gu Erniu to turn off the fire.

Gu Lili scooped up the golden oil residue and shoveled the oil into a jar.

The three men's eyes never left the bowl of golden oil residue, and they kept swallowing their saliva.

Gu Lili took out the salt she bought today and sprinkled a thin layer on it.

"Hurry, eat it while it's hot." Gu Lili quickly greeted the three people.

The three of them had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Grandma's family used to make lard.

However, it was not their turn to eat, so all the food had to be saved for Gu Shuwen. Grandma said that it was because Gu Shuwen was tired from school.

They had long wanted to taste what it tasted like, and the aroma alone was overwhelmed them.

The three of them carefully took a piece, and because it was just out of the pot and a little hot, they hurriedly put it into their mouths.

But my mouth couldn’t stand the heat, so I just chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

I didn't even taste anything. Actually, it's not that I didn't taste it, it's just that I swallowed it too quickly and didn't get to enjoy the delicious flavor in my mouth.

After eating one piece, none of the three took any more.

As if he was still not satisfied, he even licked his fingers.

Seeing this, Gu Lili knew that they were reluctant to part with it, so she quickly called out, "Hurry, eat it while it's hot."

As he said this, he took a piece and started eating.

It turned out to be the local pork raised at home, it was really delicious.

If you sprinkle some white sugar, it will taste different.

After she finished eating a piece, she saw that the three of them had no intention of fighting, so she said, "Eat quickly, or I'll beat you up!"

As he said this, he showed his bent index finger. This Gu Erniu was the most experienced.

Afraid of getting beaten again if he was late, he quickly and obediently took a piece in his hand.

Seeing this, the two younger ones also took another piece.

This time they experienced it again, and it was not like the first time.

Instead, he blew it carefully to cool it down, then took a bite.

The aroma of fat instantly filled my nasal cavity. I sprinkled some salt on it, and the salty taste made the lard residue taste even better.

Seeing that Gu Sigou was about to speak again, Gu Huanhuan quickly spoke first, "Sigou, is this the most delicious thing you have ever eaten in your life?"

Gu Sigou's eyes widened, "Third sister, how do you know what I want to say?"

Looking at Gu Sigou's silly look, the three of them laughed at the same time.

After eating the piece in their hands, the three children refused to eat any more no matter what Gu Lili said.

Seeing this, Gu Lili no longer forced herself. This was how they thought.

She has to save on everything and she hasn't started her business yet.

There was no reason to persuade them to eat more.

All Gu Lili can do is get up earlier tomorrow.
