The morning passed like this, and there were many things to do in the afternoon, first let a few children go to the public bathroom to take a bath, change into the clothes they bought for the New Year, and then Li Ling and Gu Yue were responsible for washing all the dirty clothes. According to the convention, it cannot be washed before the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. This time, it's a big cleanup.

Gu Chen and Gu Liang are not the masters who just watch, and they also help to do what they can do, boiling hot water, hanging clothes, etc., all within their power.

In the evening, Li Ling first offered delicious food to the deceased old people, followed by Gu Xin's, and then, with a few children, kowtowed a few times, and talked for a long time. When everything that needs to be done is done, it is their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

The sound of boiling soup poured on top of the fried pot and the sound of firecrackers outside are mixed together, which is the sound of the New Year.

Gu Liang picked up his cup of tea and spoke first, "I wish life will be better in the coming year." ”

The remaining three people were saying the same thing, drinking clean tea.

The flavor of the New Year is getting more and more, and with the program of the Spring Festival Gala, Gu Yue's family laughed non-stop, and they didn't stop laughing until twelve o'clock in the evening. After the bell rang at twelve o'clock, Li Ling brought out another plate of dumplings and asked everyone to eat a few, "Okay, let's go to sleep." ”

Needless to say, the children's wishes are known. As if he was a child, he touched the heads of the children one by one, and waited until they fell asleep before leaving the room.

When I arrived at the hall, I first cleaned up the table roughly, then took out the red envelopes from my pockets, stuffed each with a certain amount of money, and then went to the children's bedrooms and put the red envelopes under the pillows.

The first day of the Lunar New Year is coming.

Li Ling came to the room, the three children all felt it, they all pretended to be asleep very soundly, closed their eyes to feel their mother's gentle movements, and walked out, before they really began to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Ling got up, worked alone in the kitchen for a long time, kneaded and cooked all the dumplings to eat this morning, and then went to the incense, and then began to call one by one.

"Mom, I wish you good health in the new year." Greetings from Gu Chen.

The words of blessing for each person are a tradition that has not changed over the years, and it seems that the words of blessing have not changed. After walking again, Li Ling also responded with the same blessing and took the children to dinner.

Because the Gu family does not have elders to go to the New Year, and there are no peers, there is nothing to do in the past few years, just the family gets together to talk, play poker, or else, it is to go out for a walk, which is really a good time to relax. New Year's Day. The past was very easy, and the second day of the new year was also very gratifying.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the things that have been waiting for me will come to the door. First of all, Gu Xiaomei sneakily came to the door, wrapped her head in a headscarf, her eyes were almost unrevealed, and the knock on the door was not loud, but it continued.

In fact, the four members of the Gu family had long expected that there would be such a day, and they would not suspect who it was when they opened the door, and they would directly let people speak first.

When she arrived in the house, Gu Xiaomei's courage was enlarged a lot, her headscarf was put away, she sat on the sofa, looked at these people with her eyes, and said, "How about it, have you thought about it?" ”

Li Ling didn't let the children speak, she said calmly, "On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, if you come over again, I will give you a reply when the time comes." "According to the appointed time, the brothers are almost there.

"Why the sixth day of the Lunar New Year?" Gu Xiaomei was nervous for a while, staring at the faces of several people for a long time, and was worried that the previous matter had been found out, and they were going to find someone over there to block themselves. However, you can't be the first to show your timidity and tell the news.

Li Ling said very calmly, "The children's uncles will also come over, let's talk about it together." ”

Gu Xiaomei's eyes rolled a few times, and finally agreed, "Okay, then I'll come over again, I'll tell you Li Ling, don't think about playing tricks with me here, otherwise, but you are good-looking." "If you leave a threat, no one cares about it.

Even Gu Chen couldn't help but walk to her side, clenched his fists, and waved a few times, each time it was almost a little distance away from Gu Xiaomei's face, and asked with a smile, "Like this?" There was no smile in his eyes, he was very cold.

I've wanted to do this since I was a child, and if it weren't for my lack of strength, I wouldn't have tolerated it.

"Hmph, I'll go first." Gu Xiaomei took a few steps back before she made her own voice, and as soon as she walked to the door, she thought of the headscarf placed on the sofa, walked back and grabbed it in her arms, wrapped herself carefully, and then walked out.

Gu Yue looked at her brother with a little admiration, and sure enough, he was getting more and more powerful. couldn't help but grab Gu Chen's arm, there was someone at home to accompany him, and he didn't seem to feel that he couldn't get over the difficulties. Gu Liang couldn't stand it anymore, and with a feeling of envy, he deliberately coughed a few times to attract Gu Yue's attention.

Fortunately, Gu Yue is not partial, Brother Gu Chen is very powerful, and Brother Gu Liang is the same. grabbed a person with one hand and faced Li Ling with a smile, "Mom, shall we go to Aunt Hu's house for New Year's greetings?" This is what she suddenly thought of, it was supposed to pass around the Lantern Festival every year, but it was not official, and there was nothing for the two families to have a meal together. This year, it was Gu Yue who thought of their previous care and dedication to Gu Xiaomei's affairs, and felt that it was better than that of relatives. Naturally, I want to go as a formal relationship.

Li Ling also has this idea. Looking at the eyes of his sons, there was no objection, and he agreed quickly, "Okay, bring the New Year's gift I bought, and let's go over together." ”

Hu Jumei doesn't know how to go out on the third day of the Lunar New Year, with the current status of their family, they are all other people, and they don't need to go out to visit relatives at all, and they also came out of a small place before, and they go back to their hometown almost once every three or four years.

The New Year's gifts that Li Ling bought were all dairy products and the like, even if they were originally eaten by her own family, they were no different from those given by others, which just came in handy. In addition, I also brought some of the food fried by myself during the New Year, Hu Jumei's craftsmanship is not particularly good, I bought it outside in previous years, and it is also a lot of heart to bring it over.

Not long after they went to Hu Jumei's house, they saw an endless stream of guests, all of them were high-end gift boxes sent to the door, and the content was all business, and it was not very suitable to stay at home. Hu Jumei had the intention to talk, but she also had to have a hostess to take care of others, so she had to show an apologetic smile and ask Hu Ruisi to take someone to another room and wait first.
