Chapter 319 Look down on them
After paying homage to their ancestors, the Gu family went home, greeting the villagers along the way.
"Oh, Hongmei is back too?" Some people would ask this question specifically when they saw Gu Hongmei.
Gu Hongmei would answer with a smile and call them aunt and uncle. She was not at all embarrassed to see people because of her divorce.
Almost everyone who saw Yu Hui said they couldn't recognize her and that she was living a good life now.
When he got home, Gu Huai put on his new coat.
Yu Hui, Gu Hongmei and several other children also changed into the new cotton-padded clothes they bought for the Chinese New Year.
Gu Pingshan also put on the new cotton-padded jacket made for him by Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei.
Because they went to the mountain to worship their ancestors, there were many branches along the way and the road was slippery due to snow. They were afraid that the branches would damage their new clothes, or they would slip and fall to the ground and get their new clothes dirty, so they didn't wear new clothes when they went up the mountain.
"Dad, your coat looks so nice." Gu Qiuyu's eyes lit up, and she walked forward and touched the coat. The material was very soft.
"Is this made of wool?" Gu Qiuyu asked, looking up.
Gu Huai nodded. "It's wool. Your mom bought it for me."
Gu Qiuyu: "My mom is so good to you."
"Youngest, this dress is not cheap, is it?" Gu Jiang walked over and asked, reaching out to touch it.
Gu Huai dodged for a moment and didn't let his elder brother touch him.
Gu Jiang: “…”
What's the harm in touching it? Is it possible to break it?
"It's not cheap, it costs one hundred and twenty! Xiaohui bought it for me with the money she earned. She said I looked good in it, so she bought it for me." Gu Huai couldn't hide the boasting on his face, and the corners of his mouth never drooped while he spoke.
Gu Jiang felt a pang of disgust when he heard this. He never expected that the youngest brother, who was always calm and serious, would have such a side to him.
"One hundred and twenty." Gu He came over and looked at the coat on Gu Huai and said, "Xiao Hui is really generous to you. She even bought you clothes worth one hundred and twenty. If I buy a pair of rubber shoes for two yuan, your second sister-in-law will scold me for a long time."
When Wang Mei heard this, she glared at her husband.
If she was as good at making money as Yu Hui, she would buy him rubber shoes worth not only two dollars, but also two hundred dollars.
"You know what, the youngest one looks really good in that woolen coat." Wang Mei said to Tian Ying who was standing next to her.
Tian Ying nodded. He was wearing the same clothes as the other three brothers, and they didn't look like they were from the same world.
One looks like a young master who has studied abroad, and the other three look like the farmhands in the young master's family.
They are brothers born of the same mother, so why are their lives so different? Tian Ying felt a little sad.
Yu Hui changed into a new red cotton-padded jacket and carried Beibei into the main room. It was still early, so she would take off the new cotton-padded jacket after cooking.
Gu Dong, Gu Nan and Gu Xi had already gone off to play with the Gu Bin brothers, and no one knew where.
"Auntie, your cotton-padded jacket looks so nice." Gu Qiuye saw Yu Hui coming into the house wearing a new cotton-padded jacket.
"Oh, my aunt's is the same as yours, just the color is different." Gu Qiuye saw Gu Hongmei following Yu Hui into the house.
Gu Hongmei smiled and said, "This was bought for me by your mother."
"It feels so soft and thick. It must be very expensive, right?" Gu Qiuyu asked.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Not bad, twenty-five yuan each."
"This style is really nice. None of the stores in our county have it." Wang Mei said as she touched the clothes on Gu Hongmei.
That was Gu Qiuyu saying, "Whatever the provincial capital stores have, our county town stores may not have. Whatever the county town stores have or don't have, the provincial capital stores will have."
She heard this from people who went to their supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
Tian Ying looked at the clothes on Gu Hongmei and Yu Hui and felt sad. Yu Hui seemed generous and gave them so much cloth to make their own clothes, but she was actually reluctant to do so.
If she really wanted to, she would buy each of her three sisters-in-law a cotton-padded coat like Hongmei's.
Don’t say you don’t know their sizes. If you have the heart, just call and ask and you’ll know.
The youngest child’s home has a telephone, so it’s very convenient to make calls.
On the third day after returning to the village, the three Gu Dong brothers became friends with the children in the village.
The children in the village all like to play with the three children who came back from the city.
First, they had candy in their pockets and I was willing to give it to them. Second, they had fun toys such as ping-pong rackets, balls, and kaleidoscopes.
The dishes were ready and it was time to cook. Yu Hui took off her clothes, put on her old cotton-padded clothes, and went to the kitchen to cook.
There were some leftover pork trotters and chicken stewed with mushrooms from yesterday’s New Year’s Eve dinner, so I had fewer dishes to make for lunch today. I cooked a konjac duck, boiled fish, cooked two sausages, and stir-fried bean sprouts and lettuce.
Before the meal, Zhao Changying gave each of her grandchildren New Year's money, two cents each.
Then, the eldest uncle Gu Jiang also gave out New Year's money, also two cents.
Gu He also gave out New Year's money, two cents each. When giving it out, Wang Mei was a little unhappy. None of her children were at home, and they were the ones who gave out the money during the New Year and did not receive any.
Especially this year, there are four more children from the youngest family, so the New Year’s money is 1.6 yuan.
Tian Ying has three children who received New Year's money at home, but they were not very happy about it because the youngest child has one more child than her.
After Gu Hai distributed the New Year's money, Yu Hui also took out the red envelopes from her pocket.
She is quite ceremonial and puts the money in red envelopes.
"My brother Gu and I didn't stay home to show filial piety to my mother-in-law and parents. During the Chinese New Year, we gave the three elderly people a small red envelope."
"Mother-in-law." Yu Hui first handed the red envelope to the old lady sitting in the main seat with both hands.
The old lady didn't hesitate and took the red envelope generously.
He also said lovingly, "You are thoughtful."
"mom."
Zhao Changying refused to accept it. "What for? You bought us so many things and made us new clothes. Why should we give you a red envelope?"
"Mom, this is a little gift from me and Brother Gu. My brothers and sisters-in-law are all around you, showing filial piety, but Brother Gu and I are not. Please let us show some filial piety."
Only they gave red envelopes to the old man, while the other three families did not. Afraid that they would be suspicious, Yu Hui specifically explained that it was because they were filial to the old man, while she and Gu Huai did not.
"Yes, Mom, just accept it." Gu Huai said.
The old lady said impatiently: "It's New Year's Day, just accept the red envelopes given by the children. Don't reject the children's filial piety."
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Mother-in-law is right."
"Then I'll accept it." Zhao Changying accepted the red envelope.
Since she accepted it all, Gu Pingshan naturally didn't say anything else and happily accepted the red envelope.
After giving red envelopes to the elders, it’s time to give them to the younger generations.
The younger generations received the red envelopes and said happily, "Thank you, Yao Ma, and wish you prosperity and prosperity."
Gu Yangyang was young, so he took the red envelope and took out the money.
"Wow, five bucks."
"How much?" Tian Ying asked with some excitement.
Gu Bin also opened the red envelope and said, "It really is five yuan."
