Chapter 330: Gifts Received
"Jiaojiao, you are amazing. With so many red envelopes, you are going to be rich!"
Wang Rui saw that her chest pocket was almost full, her eyes were full of red, and she was extremely happy.
Although it was not her own money, she was happy.
Han Jiaojiao also straightened her chest and said, "I want to be the one who gets the most red envelopes this year!"
“I don’t know if it’s the most, but it’s definitely the most!”
Gu Ruo also had a stack of money in her hand, but she and Wang Rui together did not even have half the amount that Han Jiaojiao had.
But they are still very happy.
It was Gu Ruo’s first time to receive a red envelope, and there was 500 yuan in it, which was almost as much as her half-year salary.
Gu Ruo smiled and said, "I'm going to use this red envelope to buy a pair of shoes for Xiao Quanzi."
"What kind of shoes cost five or six hundred? I'm different. I bought a cheap pair for Junshan!"
"How cheap is it?"
"Converted, it's more than ten yuan."
"Really? You're so pitiful, brother."
Han Jiaojiao would not tell them that the shoes she bought were from the specialty store in the supermarket.
Although it is not a high-end product, its market price is less than two thousand.
Just converted into the current RMB face value, it is probably about ten or twenty yuan.
Han Jiaojiao felt that the conversion was correct and there was nothing wrong with it!
"Oh my, everyone is here! Looks like I'm the last one to arrive!"
Du Ling also arrived. She got out of the car and helped Gu Youxin down from the back seat.
After giving the driver a red envelope, he helped Gu Youxin slowly into the house.
Gu Youxin can now walk with the help of crutches. Although his legs and feet are still not as nimble as before, it is good enough that he doesn't have to sit in a wheelchair.
Gu Youxin's face was also a little crooked.
Lao Du wasn't embarrassed to see him.
But no one mentioned what happened in the past.
"dad!"
Gu Rou ran over and held Gu Youxin's arm to support him: "You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Xiaorou, you've grown up!"
Gu Youxin held Gu Rou's hand tightly and tried to take out a red envelope from his pocket, but he was still unable to do it after shaking for a long time.
Du Ling quickly helped him take out the red envelope and stuffed it into his hand.
Gu Youxin smiled and said, "Happy New Year."
"Well, Happy New Year, Dad!"
Gu Rou sniffed and tried not to cry.
Gu Ruo walked to Du Ling, and Han Jiaojiao gently patted Shen Junshan on the back.
Although Gu Youxin did a lot of wrong things, Du Ling still has him in her heart.
For Du Ling's sake, Han Jiaojiao also hopes that Shen Junshan can give her some face.
Besides, she always knew that Shen Junshan had a thorn in his heart.
Gu Youxin is his thorn.
Although it will hurt to pull it out, it will continue to rot if it is not pulled out.
Shen Junshan turned his head and looked at her.
She laughed and said, "How can a group of old, weak, women and children support a grown man? Go and help them."
"Jiaojiao is right. Go ahead. You have to give everyone a way out."
Gu Chen whispered in Shen Junshan's ear.
Although the voice was very small, Han Jiaojiao also heard it.
The two of them pushed Shen Junshan, and he stumbled a few steps toward the door and rushed to Gu Youxin.
Although Gu Youxin's face was sprained, his mind and eyes were clear. He looked at Shen Junshan, his lips trembling for a long time, and he forced out a few words.
"S-Sorry..."
Shen Junshan: “…”
These three words left him speechless for a long time.
"Brother, my hands are sore!"
Gu Ruo quickly pulled Du Ling away.
Shen Junshan slowly walked to Gu Youxin's side: "I'll help you in."
"Hey, hey, son..."
Du Ling and Gu Ruo's eyes were red and they almost cried.
Tang Shuang was already crying.
Han Jiaojiao felt mixed emotions as she watched this scene.
The man who was so arrogant and even domineering not long ago, after experiencing illness and the hardships of life, looks no different from a lonely old man.
Equally vicissitudes of life, weak and very pitiful.
Even more pitiful than lonely old people.
How powerful it was before, how weak it is now.
Han Jiaojiao had complaints and even resentment towards him.
But seeing Gu Youxin like this, she suddenly felt that hating Gu Youxin was ridiculous.
There was no need for her to waste her time and emotions on a poor old man.
Gu Youxin walked in and saw Han Jiaojiao. He pointed at his purse and Shen Junshan helped him take out a box from his purse.
Du Ling said hurriedly: "He asked me to go to his house to find it two days ago, and said he wanted to give it to Jiaojiao."
"For me?"
"Yeah, it's yours. I'll give it to you!"
Han Jiaojiao was quite surprised because Gu Youxin never gave her anything before.
She took it and opened it, and saw that it was a jade egg.
The water color is very good and the color is also her favorite.
It's not very mature, but the ingredients are very good.
This isn't cheap stuff!
Han Jiaojiao: "Are you really giving it to me? It looks so expensive!"
"Here you go. I've saved it for a long time!"
Han Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. I like it very much!"
Cai Xun teased, "Of course you like it. You are so generous in accepting gifts! You really treat her like a little princess. The gifts you give her are too big!"
He took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Jiaojiao.
Han Jiaojiao opened it and saw that it was a beautiful cat-shaped brooch.
The material used is very simple, just gold.
There is also a small diamond in the middle.
Although it is not very valuable, she likes it very much.
Wang Rui shouted, "They are a pair with me, Jiaojiao, look!"
Wang Rui unzipped her collar, revealing a necklace with a cat head pendant around her neck.
Cai Xun shrugged: "I thought I was the most generous person today, but a few elders stole my limelight. I'm so sad!"
"I also like the gift my second brother gave me. Thank you, second brother!"
Han Jiaojiao stood on tiptoe and hugged him.
Cai Xun said with a smile: "You have become a wealthy woman after New Year's Day. Will you make a fortune on New Year's Eve?"
"That's right, I'm counting on getting rich during the Chinese New Year!"
Everyone laughed until their faces were sore.
Tang Shuang said quickly, "It's time to eat. Everyone, stop standing outside and talking. It's very cold! Come in!"
The children gathered around Yan Han and sat at the table happily.
The adults were also talking and laughing. Niuxi and Yueji finished cooking today and wanted to celebrate the New Year with their family.
They deliberately gave their two sisters-in-law a day off, so they had to do the kitchen work themselves.
Everyone went into the kitchen in groups of two or three and helped bring up the food.
Braised fish, braised pork, Beijing-style shredded pork, salt and pepper spareribs, stewed pork in soup, eight-treasure duck, braised pig ears, braised beef and braised beef tripe were cut into a platter.
I fried a few side dishes, put the necessary bacon and sausage on the table, and then served a copper hot pot.
A table full of delicious food steaming.
Gu Chen and Gu Youxin sat next to each other, and Gu Chen was picking up some vegetables and meat for Gu Youxin.
Although this scene makes people feel sad, it is inexplicably warm.
Lao Du sat there silently, and Cai Xun poured him a glass of wine.
"Today is New Year's Eve, let's have a drink together, Uncle Gu, can you drink?"
Gu Youxin nodded happily.
Du Ling rolled his eyes at him, and he lowered his head stupidly, looking naive and silly, like a Shar-Pei dog.
