On New Year's Eve, several families and Gu's father and mother had dinner together.
It was difficult to cook for so many people, so each family cooked at home and brought the food to Zhou Suisui's house to eat.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu haven't been home for a year, so the first and second wives will definitely come to visit more often.
The first and second wives both made some money from their business this year, so the New Year’s Eve dinner they prepared was also lucrative.
If your family has money, who doesn’t want to eat good food?
This year, the sisters Gu He and Gu Lan should come on the first day of the New Year. They will return to Beijing on the seventh day. They probably want to stay here for a few days.
However, even if they live in the village, they can't live in a house that's a year old. The old house where Gu's parents used to live is still empty, so they can just move in.
As soon as Mrs. Gu Da and Mrs. Gu Er entered the kitchen and saw the dishes prepared by Zhou Suisui, they said, "Third sister-in-law, there is nothing vegetarian in what you prepared. They are all delicious."
"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I'm thinking about celebrating the New Year and eating something good. If I don't have any, you two sisters-in-law can just prepare some more vegetarian dishes."
Zhou Suisui now has several times more money in his hands than before, and he doesn't care about this little money at all.
"We have brought the dishes here. They will be ready in a while. Let us help you cook." Mrs. Gu rolled up her sleeves and started to work.
Xiaoya originally wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but was pushed out by Zhou Suisui.
"The kitchen is small, so you're not needed. Go play with Erhua, Sanwa, and the others," Zhou Suisui said.
Xiaoya knew that Third Aunt didn't want her to be tired from working, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, Third Aunt."
Mrs. Gu said, "Xiaoya has become a bit spoiled by you. Has she caused you any trouble?"
"What trouble is there? Our Xiaoya is the most sensible and hardworking. She usually helps me with housework. This child has a keen eye for work."
Second sister-in-law Gu was cutting vegetables nearby. Upon hearing this, she also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, Xiaoya is a pretty and capable girl. She's very good. I feel like she's become much whiter since she came back this time. This girl shouldn't be exposed to the wind and sun. She's better off staying indoors."
"How can a country girl be so delicate?"
Zhou Suisui heard this and said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is true. Girls are all spoiled. They are suitable to be spoiled."
The sisters-in-law were chatting and laughing while cooking together in the kitchen.
This New Year's Eve dinner was of course very sumptuous, with chicken, duck, fish and meat. Zhou Suisui also fried a lot of things like meatballs and fried cakes in advance.
Fried food is not available all year round nowadays, except for the family of the deceased.
Ever since Mr. and Mrs. Gu came back, even the heavy snow couldn't stop them from visiting us, and they were always smiling every time they came back.
The meal went very harmoniously and everyone was happy.
After dinner, Zhou Suisui remembered that he had not yet given them the big bag of clothes he brought back.
Zhou Suisui took them out and said, "Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, these two sets are for you. I think they should be suitable. And this set is for Erhua. They are all clothes in my store. There are no clothes for boys, so there are no boys."
Mrs. Gu touched the red sweater and couldn't let it go. "Third sister-in-law, this sweater is too festive. It's not suitable for a little girl to wear. I don't think it's suitable for me."
"What's inappropriate about this, sister-in-law? It's Chinese New Year and you have to wear festive colors to look good. Brother, do you think my sister-in-law looks good in this dress?"
"Good... looks good!" Brother Gu was suddenly called out and asked this kind of question, so he stuttered.
"Hahahaha." Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
Zhou Suisui asked this question on purpose, which made Mrs. Gu's face turn red. She didn't know if it was because of the sweater or because she was shy.
When it came to Gu Ersao's place, she didn't dare to say it was not good-looking because she had learned from the previous experience. Zhou Suisui also prepared a sweater for her, but it was the same color but a different style.
When Zhou Suisui was picking up clothes, I thought about it. Most people of this generation prefer red, so I picked up red for them both, but one was a cardigan and the other was a pullover sweater, with different styles.
Second sister-in-law Gu also liked it very much, "Thank you, third sister-in-law, this is so beautiful."
"As long as you like it, sister-in-law."
Erhua was wearing a pink sweater. She was at the perfect age for youth, so pink looked good on her.
"Thank you, Aunt San, it's so beautiful!" Erhua said happily.
At this moment, she looks like a normal person.
While eating, Zhou Suisui also discovered that Erhua’s intelligence is much better now than when she was a child. She was born late in speech and development, and her IQ is much lower than that of her peers.
It can be seen that Mrs. Gu put a lot of thought into Erhua growing up to be what she is now.
Zhou Suisui smiled and said, "You're welcome. Our Erhua is pretty and looks good in clothes."
"Aunt San, you are the most beautiful." Erhua said sweetly.
Second Brother Gu also smiled and touched his daughter's head.
I have five children. Except Jiaming, who is not my biological child, I have two sons and two daughters. However, my eldest daughter is already like that, while my second daughter has been a good child since she was young.
It’s just a pity that God didn’t favor her and made this child become like this since childhood.
In fact, after Lin Sanmei died, no one in this world knew that it was Lin Sanmei who caused Erhua to become like this.
Erhua was not born with this condition; she was a normal child when she was born.
Everyone ate melon seeds and drank tea together, chatted for a while, and then went home.
Zhou Suisui couldn't stay up all night anyway, so she fell asleep as soon as the man left.
I must get up early tomorrow, the first day of the new year, so I have to go to bed early.
If you ask her, she would say that the Chinese New Year is a really tiring festival and it is really tiring to celebrate it once.
Gu Jingheng also knew that she was tired today, so he prepared some water for her to wash her feet and let her soak her feet comfortably before going to bed.
Zhou Suisui lay on the kang and fell asleep as soon as he was rolled up with the quilt.
——————
Early in the morning, Zhou Suisui was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
When she got up, she found that everyone in the family was up except her.
Gu Jingheng saw that she had gotten up and said, "We just finished eating the dumplings we cooked this morning. Yours are in the pot, go and eat them quickly."
Zhou Suisui nodded and went to have breakfast.
Zhou Suisui didn't get up in the morning, and Gu Jingheng didn't wake her up, wanting her to sleep a little longer.
Gu Jingheng got up and made breakfast for himself. It was not complicated. He just cooked frozen dumplings and it was ready very quickly.
After breakfast, Zhou Suisui went to the main hall and put out peanuts, melon seeds and candy. Sure enough, after a while someone came to pay New Year's greetings, of course, to Gu's father and mother.
Gu Jingheng also took his three sons out to visit every household to wish everyone a happy new year.
But when they came back, the three children looked a little disheveled.
Zhou Sui Sui asked in confusion, "Didn't you three go out with your dad to celebrate the New Year? What's going on?"
