Chapter 282 Visiting the Gu Family for New Year's Greetings (Part 3)

Li Chunhua was scolded and dared not utter a sound. She hugged Jinbao back into her arms, pouted, and reluctantly walked home.

It's not her fault that the Gu family is unlucky; blame that biased old woman.

She cut off their chance to share in the good fortune!

Ma Xiulian ignored her and looked at Helian Jiao and Gu Tingyun with a smile: "Go on, walk slowly on the road. It's cold winter and you'll easily catch a cold if you sweat a lot."

"Okay, milk."

Helian Jiao nodded and, holding Gu Tingyun's hand, skipped and hopped towards the factory.

The bells on her head jingled crisply with her movements, making her appear even more lively and adorable.

Big White followed its little owner, hopping and skipping, wagging its tail and shaking its head. No one would think it was a wolf.

A large group of Chen family children marched toward the factory. As they approached the gate, Chen Erbao quickened his pace, shouting as he ran, "Big wolfhound! I'm here... Hmm?"

He stopped and looked at the empty doghouse, a puzzled expression on his face: "Where's the dog?"

Gu Tingyun said, "It's been sent to the cafeteria."

These past few days, people from the commune have been coming over from time to time to bring some homemade food to the factory. Afraid that the three dogs might frighten people, they've kept them in the canteen.

Helian Jiao's ears twitched, and her eyes lit up as she asked, "Shall we kill it and eat it?"

Gu Tingyun shook her head: "No, it's just that we take it to the cafeteria to tie it up."

Helian Jiao and Chen Erbao both looked disappointed.

One was because they couldn't afford dog meat, and the other was because they couldn't see the big dog they longed for.

Chen Xiaobao, who was timidly walking behind, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Jiang Manyun saw the large group of children, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face: "Oh, the children are all here! Happy New Year!"

"Aunt Jiang, Happy New Year, Uncle Gu! Grandma sent us to wish you a Happy New Year."

Helian Jiao tilted her little head up and looked at her, her soft, sweet voice melting hearts.

The little girl, dressed in a bright red cotton-padded coat, looked even more delicate, endearing, and adorable.

Gu Qingshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Happy New Year to my darling too!"

His smile softened his serious expression, and the children began to offer their New Year's greetings all at once.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Jiang, Happy New Year!"

The house suddenly seemed to come alive and was no longer quiet.

The two looked at each other and smiled, which finally brought a festive atmosphere to the New Year.

"Come in, everyone."

Jiang Manyun took advantage of the break to go into the room, took out the red envelope that she had prepared under her pillow, and also took out a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and a bag of chocolate.

After going outside, each person grabbed a handful of milk candies and a few chocolates, and received a New Year's red envelope.

After receiving it, Chen Erbao couldn't wait to open it, and was stunned to see that it contained two yuan.

He blinked hard twice to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then jumped up and shouted excitedly, "Two yuan! There's a whole two yuan in the red envelope!"

That's a huge sum of money!

He had never received a red envelope containing more than 50 cents before. He thought that the 55 cents he had just received at home was already a lot, but he didn't expect that the red envelope here would contain two yuan!

The other children also excitedly opened their red envelopes to see if they had two yuan each.

Helian Jiao casually stuffed the red envelope into her pocket, peeled a piece of milk candy, and put it in her mouth to eat.

In the little princess's eyes, twenty yuan is not even worth a piece of milk candy.

Chen Xiaobao put the milk candy and red envelope into his pocket, but he was a little dissatisfied because there was no canned beef.
