"Dad and Mom, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma."
Gu's father and mother were so happy when they saw the group of children below wishing them a happy new year that they gave red envelopes to each of them.
It’s not a lot of money, but I do it just for good luck.
Nowadays, every household lives a tight life, and few families are as lavish as Zhou Suisui and eat whatever they want.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Several children said happily.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, each family eats their own food.
Yesterday, Zhou Suisui asked Gu Jingheng to buy a fish. It was still alive today, perfect for stewing.
Zhou Suisui fried another meatball, and Gu's mother also joined in the cooking.
However, Zhou Suisui is the one who takes charge of the cooking, as he has better cooking skills.
Every time Gu's mother sees Zhou Sui Sui cooking, she would sigh and say, "No wonder the food tastes so good with all the seasonings."
The elderly are used to being frugal. A jar of lard can last a year if they are frugal.
Zhou Suisui is not used to using lard when cooking, so she usually uses soybean oil or peanut oil.
You can use lard occasionally, but not frequently. Eating too much lard is bad for your health.
After working hard for a whole afternoon, Zhou Suisui made a total of ten dishes, filling the entire table.
This afternoon, we had Zhou Sui Sui's family and Gu's parents for dinner. There weren't many people, so these dishes were more than enough.
Shitou was playing with Da Wa and Er Wa, and he asked them some questions.
"Is there anything fun there?"
"We can see the sea and eat seafood there," said Da Wa.
"Besides, it's much bigger than our county town, and there are more students in the school." Erwa also said.
"But it doesn't matter. My brother and I have always been number one, and our grades haven't declined."
"You guys are so awesome. You're still number one even here," said Shi Tou.
"You don't know, after you left, my mother kept telling me that if I wanted to study with you, I had to get grades as good as yours, but I just couldn't do it."
The eldest and second child looked at each other and said, "Brother Shitou, our mother said that no matter what the grades are, as long as you work hard, it's all fine."
"Yes, yes, Brother Shitou, don't be unhappy, let's eat candy together." Erwa took out the candy in his pocket and shared it with Shitou.
Guo Jiaming did not play with them, but stayed at home to take care of Zhuangzhuang.
Brother Zhuangzhuang is too young, and Zheng Lili sometimes can't take care of him alone, so Guo Jiaming often takes care of Zhuangzhuang.
Zhuangzhuang is also very close to Guo Jiaming. Sometimes during the day, if Guo Jiaming goes to school, Zhuangzhuang will cry when he can't see him.
Erhua came into the room to see Zhuangzhuang at this time and took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket.
"Brother, have some candy!" Erhua said.
Guo Jiaming shook his head: "Sister Erhua, Zhuangzhuang can't eat candy yet, he's too young."
"Can't I eat it? This is delicious. I saved it specially for my younger brother." Erhua said dejectedly.
Guo Jiaming smiled and patted Erhua's head and said, "Thank you, Erhua sister. When he grows up a little, he can eat it. You can eat this candy yourself."
"This was given to me by my grandma, but I couldn't bear to eat it," said Erhua.
Guo Jiaming thought for a moment and took out a piece of White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket.
This was what Zhou Suisui gave to the younger ones yesterday.
"Erhua, this is for you too. I don't like candy." Guo Jiaming said.
"Don't you like to eat?"
"Yes, you see, I never eat candy during the Chinese New Year. I give it all to you."
When Erhua heard this, she happily took the candy and said, "Okay, then it would be a waste if you don't eat it. I'll eat it for you."
Guo Jiaming didn't say anything, just looked at Erhua and smiled.
What child doesn't like sweets?
Especially in this day and age, children can't eat more than two pieces of candy in the whole year.
Guo Jiaming just gave them all to Erhua to eat.
As for Dahua, it's good enough that she doesn't cause trouble. Guo Jiaming's relationship with her has never been very good.
The main reason was that Dahua had always bullied Zheng Lili before, and Guo Jiaming remembered it and could never like Dahua.
"Jia Ming, Da Hua and Er Hua, it's time for dinner!" Zheng Lili shouted outside, and Er Hua jumped out.
Guo Jiaming also went out with Zhuangzhuang in his arms.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The dishes for the second room are stir-fried pork with cabbage, fried potato slices, and braised pork, which is already quite sumptuous.
But when Dahua came over and saw the dishes, she said, "Tsk, these are way worse than what we had yesterday."
Second Brother Gu frowned and scolded, "How many people can't even afford to eat right now? How can you be so picky?"
"I heard that Third Aunt cooked ten dishes today. Why don't we go to her house to eat?" Dahua said unhappily.
"You also know that that is your third aunt's house? It's not your home, why do you just go there? Besides, does your third aunt owe you anything? She lets you go there to eat and drink for free every day. Gu Daha, don't make things difficult for me during the New Year." said the second brother Gu.
"Why is she so stingy? She's so rich, so what's wrong with just having a meal with us? I think she just looks down on us." Dahua continued endlessly.
"If you don't want to eat, get out!" Brother Gu couldn't stand it anymore.
"You're a grown-up girl now. Is it fun to gossip about other people all day? How has your Third Aunt wronged you? Did a dog eat the gift you brought back?"
Zheng Lili just sat aside and ate without saying a word.
She couldn't discipline Dahua anymore, so she just let her father take care of her.
This big flower really doesn't look good. Listen to what it is saying.
It didn't make any sense at all. Zheng Lili frowned when she heard it.
