Gu Hui's lips curved into a smile. Oh well, if it's from a tightwad, don't complain about the smell.
She sprayed some perfume on the copper coin and put it into the handkerchief she had just wrapped.
That handkerchief belonged to Gu Sixiu. Inside were a pair of silver earrings, which her father had bought for her, and a gold hairpin, which her second uncle and aunt had given her.
Then she put it in the small box that her fourth uncle had made specifically for storing small items.
Gu Hui lay in bed thinking that her mother's behavior today must have been due to something her second aunt had said!
Actually, this is quite good. Even though her mother's words are still unpleasant, it's much better than before.
She had always felt that her second uncle, second aunt and Gu Nian were a bit abnormal, and she had been secretly observing them. But after getting to know them for so long, she realized that she had been overthinking it.
They are all family, and only family members can do this. Why should she think so much?
Gu Hui smiled and closed her eyes.
In Uncle Gu and Zhang's room, Gu Renze was in a terrible state.
His simple-minded, overweight parents thought he was asleep, and after their usual bickering, they actually started doing activities that were inappropriate for children.
He was so regretful!
I shouldn't have sympathized with his drunken, simple-minded father. I should have insisted on going with the old man and woman, or even with my older sister!
Waaaaah, is it really okay to let the soul of a grown man hear these discordant voices?
Why does he dress up as a clueless baby? He could sleep with Eun-ja when he's a few years older!
He vowed never to sleep with his mentally challenged parents again.
He was going to pester his second aunt to hurry up and draw up blueprints for a stroller and a crib so he could have a room to himself!
...
Gu Hui's seventeenth birthday has passed, and it will be Gu En's eleventh birthday next year.
The Gu family doesn't discriminate against girls; they treat both men and women the same. So, for the first time, Gu En received gifts from her family.
His favorite thing was a sword that Lu Zheng gave him; it was a very beautiful and imposing sword.
He hated the box of books his second uncle had given him the most, demanding that he finish reading them before the provincial examination next year and write reading notes on each one. Gu En really wanted to die. It was a whole box of books, not just a few. He had to read one every day. He would have to read all the time except when he was in school. How terrifying!
On Gu En's birthday, Gu Nian asked her uncle and aunt to grind corn into powder so she could make cornmeal scraps with chili peppers; previously, they had always made rice flour.
Gu Nian discussed the New Year's goods with her parents and Xin Xin. Although it was only the end of October, they needed to prepare in advance.
Gu Nian meant that in addition to the same items sold last year, she wanted to sell a few more this year, but she was worried about not having enough manpower. She asked Cai Xiaolian for advice on what good methods to use.
Cai Xiaolian didn't say it directly, but looked at Gu Xin: "Xin Xin, do you think there's any way?"
Cai Xiaolian does not deny that Gu Nian is smart, but perhaps due to more than 20 years of habit, Gu Nian still prefers to do research and does not think so much about business matters.
Gu Xin is different. She learns everything, and so far she hasn't found anything she particularly likes. As long as she learns something, she can learn it exceptionally well. For example, she pays more attention to business principles than Gu Nian, which she often consciously talks about with her daughters.
Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Mom, Sister, we can actually earn an easier kind of money, without having to work as hard as last year, but we can earn more than last year."
