Chapter 10 Chinese New Year is a good time to save money for private money
The weather in January was already very cold, and the howling north wind carried snowflakes on the ground, trees, and houses. The original lush trees have long since left bare branches, and the evergreen pines and cypresses in all seasons cannot see the green, and they are covered in silver.
The Gu family's mansion has been cleaned and tidy, the red couplets are neatly pasted on the doors, and the windows are also pasted with paper-cut New Year paintings, with three friends of the cold and a chubby little boy holding a carp. The house was full of people, and the warmth was so warm that I couldn't feel the cold outside.
Gu's father took advantage of the Chinese New Year to take time to go home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his little girl pasting the sub-word, and the excited Gu's father shouted at his daughter before he put down his luggage, "Xiangxiang, Dad's little girl, give Dad a kiss." The daughter is obviously a lot taller than when she left, and suddenly felt that she was downplayed in her daughter's life, and suddenly grew up when she didn't know it.
It is comforting that the daughter called her father softly after looking at herself for about ten seconds, rushed over, and gave a few kisses on her father's face, which instantly made Gu's father forget everything and only remember the little baby in his arms.
Gu's father felt very relaxed when he got home, and after talking to the old man about work, he spent a day with his children, and the son seemed to be a little restrained after seeing his father, but the younger daughter had no outside the command to ask for this and that, and it didn't take long for the son to be with him. One. Root. Read. The novel xstxt became intimate, and Gu's father felt very satisfied.
"Dad, take Xiangxiang outside, Xiangxiang is going to play outside." Gu Yuanxiang was very generous and kissed his father on the face a few times, and looked at his energetic brother who was playing outside.
"The fragrance is too small, and there is snow and cannons outside to take it out." Gu's mother, who came back to see the child with her husband, heard it and stopped Gu's father, who was holding her daughter and was going out.
"Mom, Xiangxiang will be obedient, follow Dad, won't run around and won't play with cannons." Seeing that his mother did not agree with Gu Yuanxiang's assurances with wide eyes.
"Please, Mommy, please." Gu Yuanxiang pouted slightly at his mother who was a little hesitant, put his hands together, and looked at Gu's mother sincerely.
Today, Gu Yuanxiang wore a red cotton jacket with white rabbit fur at the cuffs and neckline, a small skirt of the same style and color on the lower body, and his hair was very short and tied with two braids and red ribbons. At home, Gu Yuanxiang wears the most New Year's flavor, and this standard New Year's equipment is the little doll in the New Year's painting.
But because he was wearing too many arms, he couldn't bend his arms and couldn't put his hands together, Gu Yuanxiang was trying to shorten the distance, and Gu's mother couldn't bear to say no when she looked at her daughter's poor little appearance.
"I can't stay long, I'll be back in a while, and if I don't obey my father, I'll bring it back immediately." Gu's mother looked at her husband, who pretended not to see what she hinted at, and took a step back and asked.
"Mmmm, mom is so good, Xiangxiang loves mom the most! Dad, let's get out. Seeing that his mother agreed, Gu Yuanxiang couldn't wait to instruct his father to go out to play.
"It turns out that Xiangxiang's favorite is her mother, but what about Dad, Dad is sad and doesn't want to go out." Father Gu looked sad and was about to go to the house.
"Xiangxiang also loves her father the most!" After speaking, he kissed Gu's father several times.
Gu's father, who was smeared with saliva, went out with his daughter in his arms contentedly.
A group of children were playing crazy in the yard, Gu Yuanxiang saw his brother and his brothers having a snowball fight, Brother Wu Feng threw a ball of snow in his hand on Brother Ziyi, and part of the scattered snowball fell on his brother. Brother Ziyi and Brother Ziyi immediately held a ball of snow from the snow and smashed it towards Brother Wu Feng, and Brother Ziyi, who usually said little and had facial paralysis, smiled so happily.
Gu Yuanxiang looked at the fierce battle over there and didn't dare to pass, so he took out a fairy stick or something like a shiny cannon from the bag in his father's hand that was not an explosion, and asked his father to show it.
Nestled in his father's arms, looking at the small flames jumping in front of him and the fireworks blooming overhead, listening to the crackling firecrackers and the laughter and scolding of his brothers, Gu Yuanxiang suddenly had a happy urge to cry. It's a sight so beautiful, so beautiful that it's so beautiful that if it's just a dream, let yourself never wake up.
"Hmph, Xiangxiang wants to sleep." In the morning, Gu Yuanxiang felt that there was always something biting him, and he would bite his face and his hand for a while, it was too annoying! Gu Yuanxiang waved his hand dissatisfiedly to drive away the annoying "mosquitoes".
"Xiangxiang, today is the New Year, I can't sleep lazy if I have breakfast." Dad Gu looked at his daughter's brows wrinkled together, his bun-like little face was full of words Don't bother me, the cute appearance made Dad Gu couldn't help but kiss his daughter on the face a few times, and looked at his even more unhappy daughter Haha laughed, and finally had no choice but to pull out the daughter who was wrapped in a silkworm baby from the bed.
"Then Dad hugged Xiangxiang to brush his teeth and wash and rinse." Gu Yuanxiang couldn't help it, his brain was a lot clearer, but he didn't want to open his eyes, he closed his eyes and stretched out his hand.
"Xiangxiang slept too late last night, she can't be so used to her, such a young child has to sleep at the end of the day, depending on her temperament, Xiangxiang is spoiled so squeamishly now, and it will not be good to raise the temper of the eldest lady in the future." Gu's mother really can't help the family to spoil the child endlessly and unconditionally, and the fragrant and soft daughter can't be pampered by herself, but the family is so childlike that Gu's mother is worried that the child will be spoiled.
"Wasn't it Chinese New Year's Eve last night, I haven't seen the child for so long, the child doesn't want me to say no, didn't you stop it last night." Father Gu said nonchalantly.
"I obviously didn't stop it, I said let you go to bed early, you don't have no one to talk to." Gu's mother complained to her husband dissatisfiedly while helping her daughter get dressed.
"That's not reluctant, you just said it once, I can't be a villain to the little girl." Gu's father thought of his daughter's love and muttered in a whisper.
"What are you muttering about?"
"It's nothing, Xiangxiang's father will take you to wash and rinse, Xiangxiang just sleep." Gu's father picked up his daughter who had just been dressed from Gu's mother's hand, and ran to the bathroom in line with the principle of not saying good things a second time.
After washing, Gu Yuanxiang was obviously completely awake, and saw that there were already a lot of people here, many uncles and aunts who were not usually at home, and the New Year mode was fully opened in an instant.
"Grandpa is in good health and has an auspicious New Year."
"The eldest brother has achieved success in his studies, and he is named on the gold list."
"Sanbo's career has been successful, and he has risen step by step."
……
The Gu family's old house suddenly became lively around Gu Yuanxiang, the uncle did not come because of work, the eldest son and eldest grandson of Gu Yuanxiang in the third generation pinched the two small bags tied on Gu Yuanxiang's head and jokingly said to Gu Yuanxiang, "Our family's Xiangxiang has said that the title of the gold list is inscribed, and the eldest brother in this year's college entrance examination has to be admitted to a good school." ”
"Big brother is so powerful, don't worry at all, he became the youngest champion in the exam without paying attention! Xiangxiang misses her brother so much, she wants to see you, but she is afraid of delaying her brother's exam. After speaking, he looked at Gu Yuanyun with a blank eye, and stretched out his hand to hug him.
Gu Yuanyi is only sixteen years old this year, as the eldest brother in the third generation, he has been calm and excellent since he was a child, and he has a lot of love for the younger brothers and sisters below, and he is very prestigious in the younger generation. Although Gu Yuanxiang is more than ten years younger than him, he also likes this very much, and he will remember his brother if he has any good things, he is too busy with his studies in the third year of high school, Gu Yuanxiang hasn't seen him for several months, and he suddenly felt panicked when he could meet him during the Chinese New Year today.
"It's really amazing, Xiangxiang knows the champion, the eldest brother also wants Xiangxiang, and Xiangxiang will go to see the eldest brother when she has time."
As soon as the words fell, Sanbo Sanniang and other elders and relatives joked, "Xiangxiang just wants that the eldest brother doesn't want us, but I usually think about Xiangxiang", "Xiangxiang doesn't want me, then I'd better go home, sad", "Xiangxiang's mouth is really getting better and better", and I can speak......
Father Gu looked at his daughter who was eating in front of a group of elders and felt so proud, such a quirky, smart and beautiful child is really my daughter, like me! Father Gu didn't want to mention how beautiful it was.
After breakfast, Gu Yuanxiang, who came back from a round of worship and New Year's greetings, Gu Yuanxiang touched the red envelopes stuffed in his pocket, and his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled, although he could not have the right to use the money now, but it was good to look at such a thick pile, but he was still penniless when he was a person who went to school. Take out the red envelope in your pocket and count it slowly, haha, what a small fortune!
The Gu family has always been strict with children's pocket money, to be precise, strict with children's education in terms of money and materials. Although he has a lot more pocket money than his brothers, who would dislike having more money, and besides, where can a girl not have some private money! Thinking of this, Gu Yuanxiang's idea of keeping this money and being able to use it in the near future became even more firm, but he was too young to be sure that he was not allowed to keep it privately, so he tilted his head and was distressed, and he was inspired when he saw his grandmother coming.
"Grandma, this is Xiangxiang's New Year's money, but Xiangxiang is a child, children can't have so much money, grandma helps Xiangxiang collect it, and Xiangxiang will give it to Xiangxiang when she needs it." Gu Yuanxiang ran to his grandmother and handed her all the pile of New Year's money she had just counted.
"Xiangxiang is not afraid that grandma will spend the money you have?" Grandma Gu looked at her serious granddaughter and couldn't help but say funny.
"Grandma is still a child, Xiangxiang is a year older for the New Year! If grandma really wants to use it, then use it, it should be Xiangxiang's filial piety to grandma, and Xiangxiang and grandma are still divided into whom. Gu Yuanxiang waved his hand with a serious face.
"My little liver, it's only been a year, you're still really a big child, and you're really going to die for grandma!" Grandma Gu couldn't stand up with a smile, picked up Gu Yuanxiang and kissed her several times on her face.
