Gu Jin brought a small bag of peanuts.
Gu Jinfeng looked at the half-filled bag of peanuts on the ground and couldn't help but mutter, "Aunt, aren't you being too formal?"
Gu Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't pay for it alone. They all contributed a little. It's useless if you don't want it."
Gu Jinfeng glanced outside the kitchen and saw that Xu Huaishan hadn't come over, so she asked, "Auntie, have you and uncle ever separated?"
Gu Jin straightened his back and nodded, "Of course. Do you think I'm just joking?"
"I'm living a carefree life now, so I don't want to get involved with them."
Gu Jinfeng said, "I saw you came here with your uncle, so I thought you two had reconciled!"
Speaking of this, Gu Jin felt embarrassed. "I don't know what's wrong with Xu Huaishan now. Wherever you go, he follows you."
Wen Tang couldn't help but ask, "Is my uncle really afraid that my aunt will find an old man in the city?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Gu Jin blushed even more, "Where can I find an old man at my age?"
Thinking that Xu Huaishan believed this, Gu Jin couldn't help but want to curse, what a fool he was.
Wen Tang said, "My aunt is so pretty. If you really want to find her, I don't know how many good old men are lining up!"
Chi Yue added, "The line from here can reach France."
Wen Tang added, "Hand in hand, we can circle the earth three times."
Gu Jin: “…”
She felt even more embarrassed. "These...these two kids, are they making fun of me?"
Wen Tang and Chi Yue both shook their heads sincerely. Wen Tang said, "I just want to say that my aunt deserves better."
Chi Yue said, "Grandpa doesn't know how to cherish you, but there will be someone who knows how to cherish you."
Xu Huaishan had almost reached the kitchen, but after hearing these two sentences, he hesitated and did not enter the kitchen. He turned back to the main hall door and continued to watch Lin Jingshen write the couplets.
After listening to what Wen Tang and Chi Yue said, Gu Jin smiled calmly and said, "Well, what's the point of cherishing it? I'm already buried up to my neck in the earth. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Without saying that, Gu Jinfeng changed the subject, "Aunt, where are you having New Year's Eve dinner tonight?"
"Are you going to live together, or will you live with An Ming's family, An Sheng's family, or An Cheng's family?"
Gu Jinfeng thought that since Gu Jin and Xu Huaishan had not reconciled, she would have to spend the New Year's Eve dinner with her son.
Since we can’t celebrate the New Year, are the old men and women still staying in the house eating noodles?
Speaking of this, Gu Jin's expression became even calmer. "No," she said.
In fact, until now, it is time for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening, and none of the three sons has asked to go to celebrate the New Year.
It seems like whoever brings it up will suffer a loss.
Gu Jin recalled the play he listened to when he was young, "Wall Records".
Gu Jin thought that perhaps she was not as good as the parents there, because she had three children and didn't even have a wall to climb on.
Seeing Gu Jin's expression and her remark that she wasn't going, Zhong Meixian said, "Then let's have dinner here tonight."
Gu Jinfeng also said, "That's right, little aunt, stay at our house for dinner. It just so happens that it's the first year that my sister-in-law and Xiaoyue are having New Year's Eve dinner at our house. It will be lively and fun if you and your uncle stay here."
"Yes, aunt, we will stew wild duck tonight, stir-fry spicy rabbit meat, and deep-fry crispy fish. There are many delicious dishes!" Wen Tang also said
Zhong Meixian added, "As for you and his uncle, it's just a matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks."
"Let's eat early tonight. After we finish eating, you and Huaishan can leave if it's not too dark."
Gu Jin did not refuse and just asked, "What do you need to do? I'll take care of it."
Gu Jinfeng did not refuse this and started preparing lunch with her.
Because we had the New Year’s Eve dinner early, we had a simple lunch.
We started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner early in the afternoon.
The bacon and duck were all put into the pot to stew, and the rabbit was also taken out and chopped up. At three o'clock in the afternoon, smoke began to rise from the Gu family's kitchen.
Smoke was coming out of the chimneys of many houses in the village, and everyone started to prepare dinner one after another.
Because the Xu family split up, everyone is busy cooking for themselves.
Xu Ancheng went to check on them several times, but his parents didn't come back.
Xu Anming asked him, "Dad and Mom haven't come back yet?"
"Are we still going to put up this couplet?"
Wang Ying came out of the kitchen and couldn't help but say, "Since I've given you peanuts, I can't not write it, right?"
Xu Ancheng didn't answer this, but frowned and said, "He should still be at my uncle's house. I'll go check it out."
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Xu Huaishan coming back with the written couplets.
However, he was the only one who came back.
Xu Ancheng took a few steps forward and asked, "Where's Mom?"
Xu Huaishan handed him the couplet and said, "It's at your uncle's house!"
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon," said Xu Ancheng.
Xu Huaishan nodded and said, "Well, stay at your uncle's house tonight to celebrate the New Year."
"How can this stay at my uncle's house?"
"Dad, tell Mom that you and her should come to my house tonight. Ah Fen has already prepared the food."
"Oh, I'll go, but I won't come back."
Xu Ancheng: "..."
"Hey, your uncle and his family also invited me to stay for the New Year."
"I've prepared a lot of dishes!"
"Your uncle told your brother-in-law to have a couple of drinks with me tonight," Xu Huaishan said, raising his hand to urge him, "Go in quickly, don't delay the pasting of the couplets, I'll be right over."
"By the way, please put it on my door and your mother's door as well."
He turned around and muttered as he walked, "I was so engrossed in chatting that I almost forgot about the couplets."
Xu Anming heard the noise and walked over to see Xu Huaishan leaving. He then looked at the couplet in Xu Ancheng's hand and couldn't help asking, "We've got the couplet back. Where is Dad going now?"
