Gu Tingzhou and Erniu each hunted a few rabbits and pheasants, put them in their own backpacks, covered them with dead branches, and prepared to go home.

Xu Jinghong was surprised to see Gu Tingzhou's almost perfect technique.

I had known for a long time that he was a soldier, but I didn't expect that his skills were no less capable than those of the two plainclothes officers protecting him.

When he saw that his son's skills were equally impressive, he felt inexplicably proud.

He also asked the two plainclothes officers he brought with him to show off their skills, and finally they knocked down a wild boar directly.

Naturally, he didn't dare to bring the wild boar back home, so he just took it down the mountain and confiscated it.

On that day, each household received about a few taels to a pound of food, which was considered as additional food for everyone.

In the evening, the whole family gathered at the old house.

Brother Gu, Sister-in-law Gu, Dani and Erni are all here.

Gu Tingzhou also brought his entire family along.

During the banquet, a thunderclap exploded in the Gu family.

"I originally wanted to wait until we were all seated before telling you, but today while we're all having fun together, I'm going to tell you in advance that I'm pregnant!" Mrs. Gu stood up and said while eating.

She originally wanted to wait until three months after the New Year when the fetus was stable.

But I just saw that the limelight has been taken away by the second brother's family.

Everyone praised the second family for raising their three children well. Even the youngest daughter was deeply loved by the old couple of the Gu family.

She didn't want them to be complacent, so she couldn't help but use her ultimate move.

Everyone at the table was stunned, and even Father Gu almost spit out his wine.

"Really? How many months?" Although Mother Gu was a little frightened, she was naturally very happy.

The eldest son just lacks a son. With a son, he can hold his head high in the village.

She had already resigned herself to her fate, but now that Mrs. Gu was suddenly pregnant, she had another chance.

"Two months." Mrs. Gu glanced at Li Qingyun proudly.

Seeing that no one was even looking at her, she suddenly felt extremely bored.

Gu Tinghua has been beaten by life in the past two years and is no longer as aggressive and incapable of distinguishing right from wrong as before.

I also know that I should respect and praise my brothers and sisters-in-law at home so that I can live a good life.

She quickly said, "Congratulations, big brother and sister-in-law. This time, it's definitely a son."

"Then I'll take your kind words." Brother Gu said happily.

He also felt that since he had given birth to two girls in a row, this baby must be a boy.

Mrs. Gu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Second brother, I finally got pregnant, can you leave our mother at home for me next year?"

Li Qingyun put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly.

"What my sister-in-law said is really interesting. Mom has legs on her body. It's her freedom to go wherever she likes. As her daughter-in-law, how can we decide whether the elderly stay or go?

Besides, I asked my mother to help me and I paid her a monthly salary of ten yuan a month, plus living expenses.

Since you also want Mom to help take care of you, how much salary are you prepared to give Mom every month?"

Mrs. Gu was choked. She had never known that the second brother's family had paid the old lady a salary.

Ten dollars a month for babysitting, she wants to do this job.

But she will not admit that she cannot afford and does not want to pay the salary.

"I, can I be the same as you? I finally got pregnant with this child.

If it's a son, he's the eldest son of the Gu family.

"Are you saying it's easy for me to get pregnant? My daughter San San is also a daughter that I finally got after giving birth to two sons.

Besides, according to the order of rank, my Dabao is the eldest grandson."

Gu Tinghua watched the fun secretly, it would be better if they started to make a fuss.

Mother Gu was in a dilemma.

Emotionally speaking, she feels very comfortable after living with the second brother's family for the past two years, so she definitely wants to take care of the second brother's children.

But if you have too many children and you don't treat them equally, things will get bad.

She also couldn't blatantly favor the second brother's family.

The eldest child was indeed hard-earned.

"Do you really have to talk about this while eating? Sit down and eat! We'll talk about this after the New Year." Father Gu knew his wife's dilemma and helped her out.

No one dared to challenge the authority of the head of the family, so they immediately shut up and started eating.

The New Year passed quickly, and after the first day, the New Year atmosphere faded.

The second day of the Lunar New Year

Qinghuan and Qingyue came to the door at the same time.

With the man and his own children.

Yu Changle from Qingyue's family is already two years old. He is chubby and very cute. He shook his head and bowed to her.

Li Qingyun quickly took out a red envelope and gave it to him.

Qinghuan's little girl is one month younger than Sansan. She was held in Cheng Huaishan's arms the whole time and was raised well.

Two years ago, when we met, we could chat and talk about everything.

This year every family has an extra little ancestor to take care of.

Gu Tingzhou took Sansan and Feifei from Cheng Huaishan's family to play.

The two girls were close in age and seemed to have a lot in common. They gathered together and kept shouting, but no one knew what they were saying.

Yu Changle could already run and jump, following behind Erbao, holding a windmill made of red paper, and running non-stop.

His father, Yu Gui, was afraid that he would fall, so he kept following behind him and saying, "Le Le, take your time."

Dabao has grown up and doesn't like playing with these little kids. He goes out to play with firecrackers with his former friends in the village.

The three sisters were responsible for making lunch.

Qingyue and Qinghuan also brought a lot of good things to the door. Li Qingyun took out the prey hunted by Gu Tingzhou, and the few of them chatted while preparing a large table of delicious food.

Qingyue secretly told her two sisters that she was pregnant again.

She said she wanted to have a daughter this time to make a good name for her.

The two sisters were naturally happy for her and told her to take care of her health.

Of the three sisters, Li Qingyun's family naturally had the best conditions. Qinghuan's family also lived a pretty good life because Cheng Huaishan secretly hunted and sold them on the black market.

Qingyue is a little worse off, but their family is well-off. As long as the couple works hard, they will never have to worry about having nothing to eat.

Qinghuan also talked about the three members of the Li family.

Li Debao actually got married last year. She came from a very far away and poor village. It was said that her parents sold her to the Li family for fifty yuan.

At that time, Li Debao came to inform Qinghuan specifically. He probably thought that Li Qinghuan was easy to talk to and soft-hearted, so he came to ask for the gift money.

He was thrown out by Cheng Huaishan and never came back.

Li Qingyun didn't expect that Li Debao actually had money to buy a wife. It was really pitiful for the girl.

This world is so unfair to women. If you don't work hard for yourself, no one will feel sorry for you.

The three sisters confided in each other the joys and sorrows in their lives, shared happy moments, their love for their children, and their expectations for life.

As an elder sister, Li Qingyun gave them many final words based on her understanding of history.

This day seemed to pass by very quickly. We all cherished it very much, but the time to say goodbye had finally come.

Although the sisters are all living happily now, the time they spend together is really too short.
