Chapter 27: Returning Home for the New Year (5)
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and talking about homely things, everyone went back to their houses to sleep, and the next day they had to get up early to pay New Year's greetings to relatives and friends.
Returning to his house, Lin Ningning began to grind Gu Weiguo to fulfill his grandparents' wishes, and the final result was naturally self-inflicted.
Also, on the side of the superhero
"Comrade Chen Chaoying, after half a year of testing, what do you think is the relationship between the two of us now?"
"Husband and wife!" Facing Gu Weidong's question, Chaoying was a little stunned.
"So a normal couple, it's normal to have a child."
At this time, Chaoying knew that the reason for Gu Weidong's abnormality turned out to be here. Although Gu Weidong had such thoughts before, he never expressed dissatisfaction and disapproval because of Chaoying's clear attitude.
I thought that today I used the old man's words and the strength of the wine to reveal the thoughts in my heart at once.
After half a year of getting along, Chaoying knew that his feelings for Gu Weidong were no longer the helplessness mixed with impurities when he first arrived, but he really appreciated this person, and his feelings became more pure. Although Gu Weidong is not good at words, there is still some machismo. However, none of this has much impact on the relationship between the two.
If Chaoying will become a mother one day in the future, then when choosing the father of the child, Gu Weidong must be the first and probably the only choice. determined what he thought in his heart, and Chaoying opened his heart.
"Hmm" women are still not very open in some things, but for Gu Weidong's problem, Chaoying chooses to deal with it positively and affirmatively.
Gu Weidong, who got Chaoying's answer, was naturally excited and excited, regardless of the fatigue of the day, and also joined in the efforts to realize the wishes of his grandparents.
Early the next morning, the new daughters-in-law went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law Xu Xiuqing cook breakfast with big panda eyes, and when she saw the state of the two daughters-in-law, her mother-in-law was naturally distressed.
"I don't need you, let's go and rest, I was busy all day yesterday. I'll cook some dumplings and distill some vegetables for breakfast, I'm busy myself, and I don't need you. ”
In the end, they couldn't stand the scolding and driving away of their mother-in-law, and the two left the kitchen, of course, this scolding was full of love and spoiling.
After breakfast, Chaoying and Lin Ningning were not idle, they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned the inside and outside of the house.
Gu Guoqiang is the eldest son in the family, and there are four younger brothers and sisters below, this year's parents are celebrating the New Year in their own home, it stands to reason that the brothers and sisters will come to their parents early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, so the family is also fully prepared, the fish and meat are taken to the house to melt, and the prepared sugar cubes, fruits, melon seeds, and tea are placed on the coffee table, and the family is chatting together while waiting for relatives to come to pay New Year's greetings.
In country Z, there are many traditional customs and exquisiteness for the New Year, except for special circumstances, otherwise the first day of the new year will not go far away, mostly to their own parents and good neighbors and villagers to pay New Year's greetings. Since the second day of the Lunar New Year, I have returned to my parents' home to see distant relatives. Therefore, Gu's mother Xu Xiuqing arranged for Gu Weidong and his family to return to Chaoying's mother's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Chaoying and Lin Ningning, as the new daughters-in-law, gave their grandparents, parents-in-law and mother-in-law New Year's greetings early in the morning, and naturally did not dare to shirk when they received red envelopes and gifts from their elders. This is a New Year's custom, and it is a good luck to get a good picture.
The family chatted while eating, waiting for the second and third uncles of the Gu family to come to pay New Year's greetings. During this period, many neighbors and colleagues came to pay New Year's greetings, and the sons and daughters-in-law of the Gu family received a wave of guests politely and enthusiastically. The morning passed quickly, but the other two brothers of the Gu family, Gu Guoqing and Gu Guohua, had not yet come. Xu Xiuqing's face did not look good, and her tone was a little dissatisfied.
"The second and third children, why do they come so late for the New Year's greetings, and their parents are still there, they won't come in the afternoon, right? "But I don't dare to bring bad emotions to the old man and the old lady. can only nag and nag with her husband Gu Guoqiang in the corner.
After waiting for more than an hour, seeing that the dumplings they ate in the morning had almost been digested, and the second and third uncles of the Gu family had not yet arrived, only then did the housewives go down to the ground to prepare lunch. Because there are a lot of fried goods and marinated goods prepared during the Chinese New Year, just heat it up a little, and prepare two stir-fried side dishes, and lunch will be live.
As soon as the family started to use chopsticks on the table, there was a noisy sound at the door. It turned out that Gu Guoqing, the second uncle of the Gu family, and the second aunt Zhao Yazhi came with their son Gu Weimin and daughter-in-law and a family of four. Therefore, the living conditions are much better than that of the eldest brother Gu Guoqiang's family, and just by looking at the family's dress, you can know that they are rich in this era.
When the guests came, they naturally couldn't continue to eat, and the family came to the door to greet Second Uncle Gu's family. can enter the house, Second Uncle Gu and Second Aunt Gu are full of pickiness and thorns.
"Yo, sister-in-law, will you give your parents radish and cabbage for the Chinese New Year? Do you think that your son has married a daughter-in-law, and your family's life can be improved?"
"No, if I had known that my parents would have eaten this when they came to your house for the New Year, I would have taken my parents to me a long time ago," Second Uncle Gu echoed Second Aunt Gu and said.
Chaoying and Lin Ningning glanced at each other, and thought tacitly, it seems that the second uncle and aunt of the Gu family are not good.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were a little unhappy when they saw that the second son's family was very critical of the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.
Grandma Gu suppressed her dissatisfaction and said: "Who is not tired of eating big fish and meat every day, it's good to eat something light, your father and I are old, and it's hard to digest if we eat too much greasy, or your sister-in-law has the heart to make something light for us." ”
Second Uncle Gu was giggling and playing officially: "What does Mom say, aren't we also joking with our eldest brother and sister-in-law!"
The second uncle of the Gu family's family must have not eaten lunch at this point, according to Xu Xiuqing's temperament, there are still a lot of pickiness about the rice, so simply don't eat it. However, Gu Guoqiang, as an old nature, is tolerant and polite to his younger brothers and sisters.
"Xiuqing, you take your two daughters-in-law to stew the fish and meat in the kitchen, the second child hasn't had lunch yet, and the family is lively. Gu Guoqiang and his wife discussed.
Gu's mother still gave Gu's father face very much in front of outsiders, and she didn't refute it on the spot, and took her two daughters-in-law to the kitchen silently.
In the living room, Gu Guoqing started his own performance, first expressing his guilt for not picking up his parents to his house for the New Year, and the feelings of a handful of snot and tears were in place, and then he said that he would wait for the old man and the old lady to go home for a few days and then go to give New Year's gifts. Of course, this is all because Second Uncle Gu's family of four said that they were here to pay New Year's greetings to the old man and the old lady, but the result was that the four of them were empty-handed.
Regarding the performance of Second Uncle Gu, although the old man and the old lady were dissatisfied, after all, it was his own son, so he could only silently put away his emotions, but seeing the second son behaving like this at the eldest son's house, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu still couldn't hide their disappointment and embarrassment.
However, Second Uncle Gu's family is not just acting with hypocrisy, there is still good news this time, that is, the daughter-in-law Xiaoyue is pregnant, although it has only been more than a month, this is indeed the first child of the next generation of the Gu family. Second Uncle Gu and Second Aunt Gu finished talking about the good news, not to mention how angry they were.
