Chapter 308 Enviable
Gu Pingshan and his three sons each carried a big carp home, their faces and bodies covered with mud splashed from catching the fish.
"Village chief, why are you still walking so leisurely? Your youngest child is back."
Gu Pingshan was stunned. "What?"
"Your youngest is back, driving a big car. So impressive and majestic."
The four of them, father and son, looked at each other and immediately walked quickly towards home.
When I walked to the gate of the yard, I saw the military vehicle that Qiuyan took when she came back last time. The yard was also very lively, with the voices of adults and children talking.
Gu Jiang: "The youngest is really back."
"Youngest." Gu He walked into the house carrying the fish and called his younger brother happily.
As soon as Zhao Changying heard the second brother's voice, he said, "Speak of the devil, the devil is here! It must be your father and the others who are back."
The people gathered at the door to watch the excitement automatically made way for it.
When Gu He saw his brother, he wanted to go up and hug him, but after taking two steps, he remembered that he was very dirty, so he stopped.
"Second Dad." The three Gu Dong brothers called out to their familiar Second Dad as soon as they saw him.
"Second brother." Gu Huai gently hit his second brother's shoulder with his fist. This was the way they greeted each other as brothers.
Then Gu Jiang and Gu Hai also came into the room. They were very happy to see Gu Huai, because he was dirty and had not hugged his brother whom he had not seen for four or five years.
"Dad." Gu Huai saw Gu Pingshan carrying a fish into the house and hurried to take the fish from his hand.
Gu Pingshan glanced at him, nodded and said, "I'm back."
Gu Huai: "Yeah."
Gu Pingshan was looking for his grandchildren in the house whom he had never met, and his eyes fell on several children who were also looking at him.
Gu Pingshan waved his hand, and the three Gu Dong brothers looked at each other and walked up to the grandfather obediently.
"You are Gu Dong, you are Gu Nan, and you are Gu Xi." Gu Pingshan pointed at the three children one by one.
The three brothers nodded one by one and called out in unison: "Master."
"Hehehe..." Gu Pingshan was very happy. He stretched out his hand and was about to touch the child's head, but he saw the mud on his hand and withdrew his hand.
"They are all good children."
"Grandpa howling..." Beibei, who was a beat late, also shouted after his brothers.
Gu Pingshan looked at the chubby little Fuwa sitting on his mother's lap again, bent down, and raised his voice, saying in a rare gentle voice: "You are Beibei, right?"
"Yeah." Beibei nodded vigorously.
"My granddaughter is so pretty." Gu Pingshan was very happy. He had never seen a child as pretty as his Beibei.
He really wanted to hug his granddaughter, but he was too dirty, so he had to give up.
He couldn't afford to dirty his granddaughter's clean clothes.
Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei also called people. Gu Pingshan was happy to see his daughters back and said, "It's good that everyone is back. This year, our family will have a lively New Year."
Although three of his grandchildren were serving in the army and could not come home, this was the most visited time and was more lively than in previous years.
"Changying, your youngest has brought back so many things. You should ask your youngest and Xiaohui to take them out and see what good things they are so that we can broaden our horizons." An aunt from the same family said curiously, staring at the things piled on the table.
"That's right, let's take a look."
Zhao Changying didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Huai and Yu Hui.
The couple looked at each other, and Yu Hui walked to the table and waved to Gu Hongmei to come forward with her to divide the food.
After all, these things also reflect her thoughts.
Yu Hui first took back the cloth she had bought for the three families. "Originally, Hongmei and I wanted to make a set of clothes for each person in the family, but there were too many people and we couldn't make enough. We also didn't know the sizes of my brothers and sisters-in-law, so we just bought the cloth back."
"Sister-in-law." Yu Hui handed a large roll of cloth tied with a rope to her sister-in-law Zheng Rong.
This big roll of cloth contains three kinds of fabrics: corduroy, khaki, and cotton, and they come in three different colors.
"Thank you, Xiaohui, you are so polite." Zheng Rong took it with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law." Yu Hui handed it to second sister-in-law Wang Mei.
"Oh, thank you Xiaohui." Wang Mei's face was broken with smile.
She looked and found that the amount of cloth Yu Hui gave to her and her sister-in-law seemed to be the same, even the color was the same.
Now, she and Gu He are the only ones at home in the second room. They can each make more clothes than they can use up. They can just cut out two sets and give them to her parents when she returns to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Then her New Year's gift must be the best among her sisters.
Although Yu Hui had never been married in her previous life and had never gotten along with her sisters-in-law in this life, she had watched a lot of TV dramas about family matters.
I know that among sisters-in-law, if one gives more or the other gives less, there will be people who will gossip about it, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
It is you who gave something to someone, but in the end you are still blamed and accused of looking down on them.
So the fabrics she prepared for the three rooms were all of the same color and weight. There was no question of who had one foot more or one foot less, or whose color looked better.
"Thank you." Tian Ying pulled up the corner of his mouth and took the cloth, feeling a little unhappy.
Their third room has a large family, three children and two adults. Logically, if Yu Hui wants to send cloth, she should send more to their third room.
"What kind of cloth is that on top, Zheng Rong? It looks furry and thick to me." A middle-aged woman who was good friends with Zheng Rong asked while looking at the cloth in her hand.
Zheng Rong didn't know either, so she turned to look at her fourth brother's wife with a questioning look.
Yu Hui: "It's corduroy. This kind of fabric is thick and can be used to make jackets and pants. It blocks the wind and keeps you warm."
"I haven't even seen this kind of cloth in town."
"Neither have I."
"I've seen it. The state-owned stores in the county sell it, but there's very little stock. They sell out as soon as they go on sale, and the price isn't cheap."
"Tsk, Gu Huai and Yu Hui are really generous. They gave so much cloth to my brothers and sisters-in-law as soon as they got home."
"Isn't it?"
How come they don’t have such a good brother-in-law and sister-in-law?
"This is the sweater and trousers that Hongmei and I knitted for my mother-in-law." Yu Hui took out the sweater and cotton-padded jacket she knitted for the old lady from her bag, walked up to the old lady and handed them to her.
Beibei had already gotten off her and was now being held by Gu Qiuye.
Old Mrs. Gu took it and placed it on her lap. She touched the cotton-padded jacket, then the sweater, and nodded, saying, "This cotton-padded jacket is thick and the pattern is beautiful."
It was still her favorite slanted-collar buttoned style. Old Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with the gift from her granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Yu Hui: "This is Dad's, this is Mom's."
Zhao Changying took the clothes and glared at Yu Hui in anger, "You just made new clothes for me in June, why are you making new clothes for me again? I have plenty of clothes to wear."
Gu Hongmei smiled and said, "This is our gift, Mom. Do you like it?"
Zhao Changying touched the soft and fluffy cotton coat and sweater, feeling very happy. "I like it."
How could she not like it? She just didn't want her daughter-in-law and daughter to spend money.
She is old and has all the clothes she wants to wear. There is no need to make so many new clothes for her.
