Volume 1 Chapter 229 Grandpa Gu's Sudden Concern on New Year's Eve
When Wang Chunmei heard this, she thought to herself that it was true. Gu's mother was waiting for her to take the money back.
"So what do you say we should do now?"
"Gu Tinghao has already said that if I don't take the money back in full, I will stay at my mother's house."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face turned embarrassed. This son-in-law was really unreasonable. It was unreasonable for him to let his wife spend the New Year at her parents' home.
"Then you can stay at home for now. But we don't have much money at home, so you have to eat coarse grains from now on."
"Mom, can't I live on that money?"
"Mom will keep it for you and leave it to your grandson in your belly. You can't use it."
The Queen Mother coaxed her first, and then the money could be used to prepare a dowry for her grandson.
I have several grandchildren, so I will have a lot of places to spend money in the future.
With the 16,000 yuan given by my daughter, I was able to solve many problems for myself.
Wang Chunmei touched her stomach and thought it was okay to eat less for the sake of her son. The money would be given to her son in the future anyway.
"All right."
Wang Chunmei agreed, and then the Queen Mother laughed.
———
On New Year's Eve, the whole family had a reunion dinner in the courtyard. Gu Tinghao also brought Gu Jingjing back and stayed here for the New Year.
Mother Gu looked around and saw that Wang Chunmei was nowhere to be seen. She also knew that Wang Chunmei was still waiting for Gu Tinghao to bow his head.
You’re dreaming!
It’s better not to come back, so that you won’t be unhappy during the New Year.
No one in the Gu family missed Wang Chunmei. After Gu Jingjing went back home for the past two days, she didn't feel as bored when she came to the compound again.
On the contrary, he is full of energy and has the innocence of a child.
Uncle Gu's family also came. Father Gu, Uncle Gu, Big Brother Gu (Gu Tingye), Gu Tingxiao, Gu Tinghao, Uncle Gu's eldest son Gu Tingyan, and second brother-in-law Lin Junhu were in the study.
Uncle Gu's second son is serving in the army in the northwest, and the family did not come back this year because they did not have enough vacation time.
The youngest daughter, Gu Tingying, her second sister Gu (Gu Tingting), her second aunt Gu, and her eldest cousin’s wife (Li Jiaying) were helping in the kitchen.
"Come on, let's eat!"
The nanny went home to celebrate the New Year, and the New Year’s Eve dinner was prepared by Gu’s mother and the women in the family.
Sheng Wanyan wanted to go and help, but was driven out by the women in the family.
"Why are you in the kitchen? You're pregnant. Go and get some rest."
When Gu's mother saw her come in, she quickly pushed her out. The other female relatives disapproved when they saw this.
"There are so many people here, they can't miss your help, go out and have some tea with grandma.
After saying this, cousin Gu Tingying took her hand and went to sit in the living room. Second Aunt Gu asked her daughter to accompany her.
"Tingying, you can chat with your sister-in-law. You two are the same age, so chat together."
Gu Tingying turned 21 after the Chinese New Year, and Sheng Wanyan was only one year older than her.
But Gu Tingying still doesn’t have a partner, and her family is pushing her to find one.
After the Chinese New Year, Aunt Gu arranged a blind date for me. The person I met was someone in the compound, the second son of the Bai family, who served as the deputy battalion commander in the Southern Military Region.
I am 25 years old this year and happened to come back for the Chinese New Year. Both families are from the same faction, so naturally the parents of both sides arranged it.
Gu Tingying is in the Kyoto Art Troupe, and Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu's family live in Hai City. The first choice would not be to find a husband in Hai City for Gu Tingying.
After all, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu won't stay in Hai City all their lives. In a few years, Uncle Gu will definitely be transferred back to Kyoto.
So it would be best to find someone from Kyoto, even if the man doesn’t work here.
Uncle Gu also climbed up step by step. For a soldier, having strength is more important than anything else.
I can only wait for the blind date in Kyoto. If Gu Tingying doesn't like her, I can see if there is anyone suitable in Haishi.
The women in the family brought out the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner one after another. There were ten dishes and one soup, which meant it was perfect.
There were chicken soup, stir-fried rabbit, braised pig's trotters, braised pork, steamed fish, pork with preserved vegetables, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, egg custard, stir-fried vegetables, two side dishes of peanuts and salad cucumber.
The elders in the family all drink, and Gu's mother and sister-in-law are also people who can have a few drinks.
Not to mention Grandma Gu, a woman who is just as brave as any man and participated in many wars when she was young.
Sheng Wanyan drank the chicken soup with the other children, and they all raised their bowls to drink it all.
Seeing how happy they were, Grandpa Gu couldn't help but say a few words.
"My family is here today. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, so I'll give you a few instructions."
"Everyone in my family is contributing to the country. Our Gu family has been contributing to the country for generations!"
"I hope you will not forget the blood shed by the ancestors of the Gu family on this land, and do not forget the cultivation of the country in you."
"You must remember, no matter where you are or what position you hold, the country is our first choice! It is our bottom line!"
"I know, Dad."
"Got it, Grandpa."
The family members nodded one after another. The Gu family has always had only one goal, which is to contribute to the country and live up to the efforts of their ancestors.
The honor and reputation of the country must not be tarnished.
"I'm old now, the Gu family will be yours from now on."
"Always remember that you are a member of the Gu family. You must have the bottom line and pride of a Gu family."
After Grandpa Gu finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, looking refreshing and domineering.
The family was happily eating the reunion dinner. Uncle Gu and his family did not see Wang Chunmei and did not ask about her.
After all, they are all family members, and they know a thing or two about Wang Chunmei's character.
Since the old man didn't express his opinion, they didn't need to care.
Sheng Wanyan couldn't eat rabbit meat because she was pregnant, but her parents made braised pig's trotters the night before, even though they knew she liked spicy food.
Sheng Wanyan enjoyed her meal and didn't feel any nausea.
As long as she eats and drinks well, Gu Tingxiao will be most relieved.
Sheng Wanyan ate a pig's trotter, a bowl of white rice, two bowls of soup, and some other dishes, and was almost full.
"Wife, are you full?"
Sheng Wanyan nodded. She was not just full, but also a little bloated.
"Yan'er, are you full? Do you want to go and digest your food?"
Grandpa Gu suddenly spoke to her in a gentle and caring voice, making everyone unable to believe their ears.
Sheng Wanyan was also confused.
Grandpa Gu always looked domineering and never cared about family affairs. He was even more serious with the younger generations in the family.
Just because of his domineering and murderous face, even his biological sons, Father Gu and Second Uncle Gu, were afraid of him.
Not to mention the other younger generations in the family, they were all very respectful when they saw him, not daring to act rashly at all, and would rather keep their heads down and walk away.
He suddenly spoke in a gentle voice, which frightened the elders like Gu's father.
Even Gu Jingjing, the youngest child present, was so shocked that the chicken leg in her mouth dropped out.
Is Great-Grandpa... possessed by a ghost?
Why doesn't your voice sound like a tiger's roar? ? ?
Father Gu knew some of the inside story, but he never expected that his own father was so gentle!
