Grandma Gu disliked Uncle Gu for being noisy and kicked him out.
Uncle Gu carried Gu Ren out, saying with a wronged expression, "Renren, I know, you're just like your grandma. Your grandma was notoriously short-tempered and quick-tempered! Sigh!"
...
The dumplings were cooked quickly.
Just then, Gu Ren was also shaken awake by his father carrying him around.
Everyone was squeezed to sit around the large round table.
Grandpa Gu asked Uncle Gu to pour wine for everyone.
"Alright, dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the better! I wish our family, Aunt Xiao, and little A Yuan all the best in the coming year, and may you always be smiling!" Uncle Gu poured the wine and added a blessing.
"Father, I'm going to be seventeen," Gu Hui said suddenly, looking at the wine jar.
She wanted to try the wine.
"What? You want to get married?" Uncle Gu asked in surprise.
He always thought his eldest daughter would marry into the family. He himself was incompetent, only good at farming, and could only afford a dowry. He was not good enough to find a son-in-law; he was not as capable as his maternal grandfather! But he encouraged his eldest daughter to earn her own money, and he would persuade his mother to find her a son-in-law later.
But after only working for the second son's family for two months, he already has the money to hire a son-in-law?
"Sister Huihui, would you like to try the wine?" Lu Zheng had figured out Gu Hui's idea.
Well, my cousin is still my older sister, it's time to win her over!
"What? You brat, you want to drink? You're not a man, why are you drinking? Does alcohol cost nothing? Besides, girls shouldn't drink alcohol." Zhang was unhappy when she heard this.
“Aunt, it’s okay for young ladies to drink alcohol, my parents said so,” Gu Xin said, speaking up for her older cousin.
"Oh dear, I say, second brother and sister-in-law, how did you raise your child? She's so young, and you're already teaching her to drink alcohol? What kind of parents are you?" Zhang seized the opportunity to berate her.
"Aunt, my parents said that grown-up girls are allowed to drink at brothels." Before Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian could object, Gu Xin said very seriously.
Everyone in the room: "..."
"Xin Xin, do you know what flower wine is?" Gu En looked at Gu Xin in surprise. He had only just learned about it himself. Xin Xin was only a month older than him, so how could she know?
Apart from the three time travelers, everyone else looked nervously at Gu Xin.
"It's wine made from flowers! The other day, Dad even took some time to make plum blossom wine! He said my sister can drink it next year, but I'll have to wait another four years," Gu Xin said dismissively.
"Tch!" Gu En lost interest.
He said that his cousin, who was a month older than him, was the most well-behaved in the family, so how could she possibly know about prostitution?
His older sister and Niannian are more likely to know about drinking and carousing.
Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what he was nervous about. Maybe it was just a habit. In his past life, Gu Xin would feel sad and inferior whenever the word "brothel" was mentioned. Therefore, he did not allow anyone around Gu Xin to mention any words related to brothels.
"Eldest brother, don't be so strict with Huihui. It's okay for a woman to drink a little. It'll prevent her from getting into trouble if she's forced to drink a little when she's out and about. Eldest brother, fill Huihui's glass!" Grandma Gu said.
"Thank you, Grandma!" Gu Hui got up to get a wine glass.
“Huihui! Your father can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, as can your second uncle, your third aunt, and your fourth uncle. Don’t get drunk after just a little bit, or I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter!” Gu Shouxin always thought his mother was right, so he poured wine for Gu Hui.
