Chapter 50 Gift

Mother Gu hummed calmly, "I'm old, I can't be as busy as you young people."

As a mother-in-law, she has to go to her daughter-in-law's house to drink with a smug look on her face?

Outrageous!

Gu Cheng: “…”

Father Gu couldn't help but sigh: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't go. It will be the same if we go."

Today, sister-in-law Gu happened to take her children back to her parents' home, so mother Gu did not go. Only father Gu and eldest brother Gu went.

Gu Chengji rode his bicycle and took his father away.

As for Brother Gu, he can only walk there by himself. I hope he can catch up before noon.

Seeing that the father and son had all left, Gu's mother cursed, "What's the point of having a son? He will forget his mother after marrying a wife. None of them can be trusted!"

They leave me alone at home and then go and enjoy a good meal at their expense.

......

Liu Yinyin's family is busy at work.

Jiang Cuihua cooked, while Liu Yinyin and Sister Liu washed and cut vegetables.

As for the other members of the Liu family, they were busy going to the village to borrow tables and benches.

Liu Yinyin also had to take care of the children at the same time, and she was so busy that she had no time to rest.

The borrowed tables and stools were placed in the yard.

The weather is nice today, so you don’t have to worry about getting cold when eating outside.

When Gu Cheng drove his father home, Liu Yinyin was feeding her child in the room.

There were a lot of people coming and going at home today, so Liu Yinyin locked the door of the room when she was feeding her baby.

Hearing Gu Cheng knocking on the door, Liu Yinyin answered and then went to open the door with the child in her arms after feeding her.

"......father."

Seeing that Mr. Gu was there too, Liu Yinyin called out.

"Hey!" Father Gu said a little excitedly, "I'll come and see the child."

Gu's father used to be very worried because Gu Cheng was about to turn 28 years old and most of the people of his age in the village had already had their children.

Fortunately, I am finally a father now.

Liu Yinyin handed the child to Gu Cheng and said with a smile, "Dad, you guys go in and sit for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to help."

With Gu Cheng taking care of the children, Liu Yinyin stayed in the kitchen and worked wholeheartedly.

"Yinyin, your father-in-law is here, why don't I see your mother-in-law and others?" Jiang Cuihua asked her daughter quietly.

"Well, I don't know. I haven't had the time to ask yet." Liu Yinyin frowned.

This is her home. If it weren't for Gu Cheng's face, she would never allow anyone from the Gu family to come.

Although Mr. Gu did nothing wrong, doing nothing is also a mistake in itself.

Mr. Gu knew clearly that the people in his family were doing wrong, but he always let them do whatever they wanted and never cared about anything.

"Oh, this old woman, it's better if she didn't come." Jiang Cuihua let out a sigh of relief, making her worry that she would have to fight a tough battle.

When she was almost done, Liu Yinyin went out to entertain the guests.

All the visitors were relatives and friends of the Liu family. Liu Yinyin was quite familiar with them all and took Gu Cheng to meet them.

It was not convenient for so many people to squeeze into the house, so Gu Cheng wrapped the child in a small quilt and carried him to the yard to show everyone.

The weather is quite warm today, so it’s okay to take a walk outside with the child.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, the dishes began to be served on the table.

There were five tables, and they were almost full, with only two empty seats left.

Father Gu and eldest brother Gu sat at one table with the Liu family. Several children from the Liu family were called to another table, so the table was just full.

Because of what happened before, although there is a barrier between the two families, they will not embarrass each other in public.

Especially Mr. Gu and Liu Laifu, men are open-minded and don’t think too much. The two of them chatted very well and even had a drink.

There were twelve dishes, half of which were meat and half were vegetables. For a country folk’s banquet, this was considered a sumptuous feast.

The guests enjoyed the meal very much. It was winter and there was nothing much to do, so everyone chatted while eating, and the yard was very lively.

When the banquet was about to end, the couple distributed red eggs and brown sugar steamed cakes to the guests...

It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon that all the guests in the yard left.

In the end, only people from the Gu family and the Liu family were left.

Father Gu and Brother Gu also had to go back. It gets dark early in winter, and if they didn't go back now they would have to walk at night.

Liu Yinyin glanced at Gu Cheng and asked, "Are you sending Dad back?"

"No need, we can just walk back." Gu's father didn't let Gu Cheng send him off. The kid had been drunk a lot today, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to ride his bike steadily later, so he decided to forget it.

The yard finally became quiet, and the people from the Liu family stayed to help clean up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs.

They are all borrowed and need to be returned after cleaning up. Some of the dishes and chopsticks are also borrowed.

In those days when supplies were scarce, people would engrave their names on everything they owned so they wouldn’t get messed up.

Liu Yinyin wanted to help clean up together.

Jiang Cuihua pushed her and said distressedly, "You just finished your confinement, you can't be too tired, go back to your room and rest, your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will take care of it here, you go inside and look after the child."

Liu Yinyin had been busy all morning and was indeed very tired now.

"Thank you, mother." Liu Yinyin didn't bother to be polite with her and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work today, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law."

"Go in and have a rest. It's not that hard to do some housework." Mrs. Liu felt uncomfortable listening to this.

My sister-in-law is becoming more and more like a city person, speaking in a very elegant manner.

Mrs. Liu also helped a lot today, but she has no complaints now. Her sister-in-law is such a close relative, and if she doesn't take care of her, she would be crazy.

Liu Yinyin went back to her room and lay down. She didn't sleep for long before she was awakened by the crying of her child. She resigned herself to her fate and got up to feed the child.

The yard is very quiet now, and it seems that the people from the Liu family have gone back.

After a while, Gu Cheng pushed the door open and came in.

"Are you done with everything?" Liu Yinyin pulled the quilt uncomfortably. She couldn't get used to breastfeeding in front of a man.

Gu Cheng saw his son sucking and couldn't help but look at him twice more. After a moment, he said, "They just finished their work and went back home. Mom said she won't come over tonight."

Liu Yinyin said, "Oh," and then asked, "Then you should clean up all the gifts you received today. The room is too messy."

Those who came to the full moon banquet today did not come empty-handed, they all brought gifts.

Most of them were eggs, millet, soybeans, peanuts and so on, all of which were given to Liu Yinyin to nourish her body.

There are also red envelopes...

Of course, red envelopes only need to be given to direct relatives such as the Liu family and the Gu family.

Liu Yinyin took out two red envelopes from Gu Yanyan's quilt, opened them and counted them.

Jiang Cuihua directly wrapped a big reunion...

Ten dollars is really a lot of money, and her mother is willing to spend it.

As for the red envelope given by Gu's father, there was only one dollar in it, and it was just a few dimes.

I guess it was the old man's own pocket money that he had saved with great difficulty.

Liu Yinyin didn't say anything and secretly stuffed the red envelope under her pillow.
