The Gu family's house is three main rooms with a partial room, the east and west rooms of the main house each have a large kang, a group of large leather sofas are placed in the living room in the middle, and the kitchen is behind, and there is a small room next to the kitchen, which is Gu Changan's personal space. There is a separate door in the side house, and there is a kang when you enter the house, and there is no kitchen or anything, but fortunately, it is warm and clean. In the end, the old couple still lived in the main landlord's house, Lin Ningning and Gu Weiguo lived in the west house of the main house, and Chaoying and Gu Weidong went to live in the side house. Gu's mother strongly asked her youngest son and daughter-in-law to live in her east house, and the old couple went to live in a side house, but Chaoying refused.

"Mom, let's just go to the house, the house is so hot that it won't freeze, you and Dad are not used to going there, just live in your house." Chaoying said to Gu's mother sincerely.

Gu Weidong naturally agrees with Chaoying's decision, he doesn't live in the same house with his parents, and the young couple lives alone, so they naturally don't have to worry about disturbing them what they want to do at night.

Finally, after the problem of sleeping was solved, everyone said goodnight to each other and prepared to go back to their own room to rest, at this time Gu's mother Xu Xiuqing ordered the children: "Sleep too late today, don't worry tomorrow, the whole family will get up late, no one is allowed to break the rules" Gu's mother naturally considered that her son and daughter-in-law were tired from riding in the car, maybe the little couple would have any activities at night, in short, they were extremely empathetic.

Faced with the size of the mother-in-law, the two daughters-in-law are naturally grateful.

I went back to my room, packed my luggage, washed up, and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, with the sound of chickens, Chaoying opened his eyes, the earthen kang in the northeast was very warm after the fire, but at six or seven o'clock in the morning, the heat was cut off, and the kang was still a little cold. Seeing Gu Weidong looking at himself tenderly with his eyes open, Chaoying smiled softly.

"It's a little cold on the kang?"

"Well, a little, why don't you go down to the ground and burn some firewood!"

Hearing his daughter-in-law's order, Gu Weidong naturally got up quickly and brought the wooden pieces at the door into the house. The kang stove in the Gu family's partial house is directly under the edge of the kang, and the fire is just directly put firewood into it. Gu Weidong caused the fire, and after a while, the wooden blocks made a crackling sound, and the kang also heated up.

Chaoying looked at her watch, it was only half past six, and she thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law hadn't gotten up yet, so she chatted with Gu Weidong.

"You say, should I get up early and make breakfast first? ”

"You just have a good rest, our family doesn't squeeze the daughter-in-law, and my parents are still very sensible. ”

"It's not a matter of being unreasonable, parents have worked hard for a year, and they finally want their children to come home, but they have to be mothers for us, and they serve us under the table, I don't think it's good. While we are at home, we can help our parents do more work and let them rest more, which is also our filial piety. ”

Hearing Chaoying say this, Gu Weidong was also deeply touched in his heart, it was not that he was unfilial to his son, but that he often ignored these and was not careful enough about his parents.

"I must have done something good in my last life, my parents are reasonable, and the daughter-in-law I married is so sensible. Gu Weidong sighed, and after speaking, he didn't forget to kiss Chaoying's forehead affectionately.

In the end, the two of them got tired of being on the kang until seven o'clock, and then got up and went to the main house to prepare breakfast.

The five people sleeping in the main house hadn't gotten up yet, Chaoying asked Gu Weidong to take firewood, first lit the kang stove in the east and west rooms, then boiled water in one pot, and prepared to cook some pimple soup in the other pot It was hot and easy to digest.

Find the noodle pocket, scoop two bowls of white noodles, add water and stir into small lumps with chopsticks, put boiling water in the pot, boil up small lumps, take out the cold water after cooking, add some sea rice with small cabbage to make the soup base, wait for the soup to boil and boil the small lumps and take them out, the light pimple soup is ready, and the leftover vegetables from the previous night are distilled. The table was set, and at this time, except for Gu Changan, the family woke up, and Chaoying gave her in-laws a wash water and sent it to the edge of the kang.

Although her mother-in-law Xu Xiuqing shirked, she didn't want to brush off her daughter-in-law's kindness, and in the end, the old couple gladly accepted her daughter-in-law's service.

Lin Ningning was a little embarrassed to see Chaoying get up early in the morning and sleep until the meal was served, but because of the closeness and trust between him and Chaoying, naturally there was no suspicion of competing for favor.

"Mom and Dad, today is the second daughter-in-law serving you, and tomorrow it will be the turn of the eldest daughter-in-law, you can't help but give me a chance to perform!" Lin Ningning was naughty with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and at the same time came to the kitchen to help Chaoying take the dishes and chopsticks.

The morning of the Gu family was full of harmony and warmth, breakfast was very pleasant, the pimple soup made by Chaoying was very popular with everyone, and even Gu Changan, the sister-in-law who didn't take care of washing her face when she got up at the end, ate more than two bowls. In the end, the meal bottomed out before the family put their chopsticks. The work of washing dishes was taken back by Xu Xiuqing, and the two daughters-in-law were kicked out of the kitchen by their mother-in-law early.

Because it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month when I came back, the original trip to Chaoying's mother's house was postponed to the second day of the Lunar New Year.

In the past two days, the Gu family was complete. Gu Guoqiang, the head of the family, arranged to go to the photo studio, planning to take a family photo as a souvenir.

Before leaving, Gu's father asked his wife Xu Xiuqing to take out the New Year's gifts prepared in advance, and took his son and daughter-in-law to see his grandparents, and by the way, he took the two elders to take pictures together. The grandparents of the Gu family were all old Red Army veterans, and they also came from the battlefield in the rain of bullets during the war years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was assigned to work in the government department of Yucheng. Now that they are retired, they don't want to disturb the lives of their younger generations, so the old couple lives in a small two-story building with collective heating.

A family of seven came to the grandparents' house, and when they saw the two eldest grandsons tall and upright, Grandpa Gu was pleased, and even there was a proud smile in his eyes. Grandma Gu was also smiling when she saw the two little girls brought by her grandchildren, and her hands did not let go of the two granddaughters-in-law since they entered the house. gave the New Year's goods prepared by Gu's father and Gu's mother to the second elder, Chaoying and Lin Ningning took out the special products brought from D Sheng and the cotton clothes and hats bought for their grandparents, coaxing the two elders to call their grandson promising, and brought back such a good granddaughter-in-law.

Grandma Gu used to be everyone's best girl, and there were a lot of jewelry left at home. Grandpa Gu, who followed the revolution, came and went in the wind and rain for half his life, and he never had the opportunity to wear it, and now his granddaughter-in-law came, so he naturally took out the jewelry happily to give it to his granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing that Grandma Gu's precious jewelry was full of boxes, Chaoying and Lin Ningning had to exclaim that they had married into a wealthy family. But the old man has never been willing to wear the precious jewelry in his life, Chaoying and the two naturally can't ask for it, and after doing everything possible, Grandma Gu spoke: "Why, if you don't accept my gift, you can't look down on my old lady, I can tell you, your mother-in-law and aunts accepted it when they got married and gave birth to children, which is not only the blessing of my old Gu family to you, but also the recognition of your elders." Without further ado, stretch out your hand and continue. ”

It can be seen that the old lady was also spicy and straightforward when she was young, and in the end, Chaoying and Lin Ningning got a pair of jade bracelets and a pair of earrings of the same color.

After the greetings, the gifts were also received, and the old lady was very satisfied. At this time, the family went to the photo studio and took a family photo.
