The four sisters discussed it and agreed that this would work, although it would be a little more tiring than last year, but it wouldn't be too much of a burden.
Grandma Gu had even more to do. Not only did she have to take on Cai Xiaolian's other tasks, but she also had to be fully responsible for Gu Hui's wedding.
After that, Gu Hui and Peng Ze returned. The two families will definitely hold the wedding before the end of next year. With three daughters-in-law giving birth one after another, she is the only female elder in the family. If she doesn't take care of it, who will?
So, Grandma Gu felt that her children and grandchildren were all a burden, a bunch of troublesome things. She only had one daughter in her life, and now that she was old, she still had to arrange her granddaughter's wedding. What kind of situation was this?
She felt these were all awful things, but that didn't stop her from doing her best. Now that Gu Hui hadn't returned yet, she was already thinking about how to make Gu Hui dress up for her wedding and give her granddaughter a grand wedding.
Not only was she thinking about what to do herself, she was also worrying about what to do with the Peng family. There was no other way; the one marrying into the Peng family was her granddaughter. The Peng family didn't have an old lady, and three of the daughters-in-law were in the military, while the other had never done anything significant. She didn't want to wrong her granddaughter!
Grandma Gu didn't realize that life in Kunzhou was more tiring than in Sanchakou Village, but she actually liked it more because her brother Chuan was in better health and could still manage a restaurant. As long as her brother Chuan was happy every day, she would do anything for him.
That night, Uncle Gu was carried back to his room to sleep by Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu.
Because Zhang and the others were pregnant, Grandma Gu told them to go and rest and not to stay up all night.
Everyone else played mahjong and cards together, and the backyard of the yamen was lively all night long. They didn't go back to their rooms to rest until dawn.
...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were no temples in Kunzhou, so Grandma Gu did not burn incense as she had done in previous years. Instead, she put a large bag of red envelopes she had prepared on a plate and sat in the main room waiting for everyone to come and offer New Year's greetings.
Starting with the eldest son's family, then the second and fourth sons' families, plus Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and the Huo siblings, even Qian Liangduo, Hu Liang, and Sun Yumei received red envelopes.
Although Grandma Gu had a blank expression when she gave you the red envelope, she was very considerate and prepared one for everyone.
During the whole year, the only time they could relax was in the first month of the lunar calendar. After giving out red envelopes and eating glutinous rice balls, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu would invite Grandpa Yang and Grandma Xiao to go out for a stroll together.
Several children also made plans to go out for a walk together.
The three Gu brothers were playing cards at home with their pregnant wives. They were playing three against three and were having a great time.
The children had planned to go for a walk by the river, but as they walked, Lu Zheng and Huo Junhao separated from Gu Nian and Xue Qianyu with their men.
Gu Nian looked at the shimmering water and smiled: "You had Lu Zheng and Huo Junhao take them away?"
Xue Qianyu, with his hands behind his back, turned to look at Gu Nian and said, "Mm."
Gu Nian squatted down, picked up a pebble, and threw it diagonally into the water. The pebble skipped several times. She clapped her hands in satisfaction, turned to Xue Qianyu, and asked, "You have something to say to me?"
Xue Qianyu: "Mm."
Gu Nian smiled helplessly and said, "Then tell me! What does 'hmm' mean?"
Xue Qianyu said, "I've thought about it for a long time, and there are many ways to say it, but I can't make up my mind. I don't know which one you would like to hear, so I can't speak."
Gu Nian: "...Then you can name them one by one. After you're done, I'll choose which one I like, and then you can say them again, okay?"
Xue Qianyu: "Okay."
