Xie Ji chimed in, "Jinxiu, don't be so careless in showing this to us in the future. I know you trust us, but sometimes..."
Xie Ji thought of his son and daughter-in-law, who had trusted the people around them too much. Unfortunately, they had ultimately misplaced their trust!
He shook his head to clear his mind, forcing back his tears: "In short, from now on, I'll try not to let others know about these things. It's better to avoid trouble."
Jiang Jinxiu nodded, indicating that she understood.
At this moment, Yang Dongmei also spoke, looking seriously towards the direction of the first and second wives.
"We all know this, but no one is allowed to spread it, not even the eldest son's or the second son's, understand?"
The eldest and second eldest Gu brothers said in unison, "We understand, Mother."
Gu Mingzhen, Gu Mingzhu, Xiao Fangfang, and Xie Hongfu all raised their hands to indicate that they would not tell anyone.
Finally, Comrade Xiao Liu stood up and swore that he would not tell anyone.
And so, Jiang Jinxiu finally officially recognized this godparent.
Jiang Jinxiu picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Grandma Luo's bowl: "Grandma, eat some chicken."
"Alright, alright, you eat too." Grandma Luo also picked up a piece of pork rib and put it in Jiang Jinxiu's bowl.
He couldn't stop smiling.
As a result, Jiang Jinxiu's bowl was filled with even more meat, and Grandma Luo was happily feeding her.
Jiang Jinxiu couldn't refuse; seeing the mountain of bowls in front of her, her little face scrunched up...
In the end, it was Zhou Ying who stopped Grandma Luo from doing so, and she realized that Jiang Jinxiu's bowl was truly overflowing.
But thinking about the three babies in her belly, she couldn't help but say, "My dear granddaughter, eat more, eat more! You're eating the equivalent of four people's food!"
Jiang Jinxiu's face wrinkled even more.
She looked at Gu Xichen beside her pleadingly, shaking his clothes with her little hands and acting coquettishly. She didn't say anything, but her eyes clearly said: Help me!
Gu Xichen was quite pleased to see her like this, but he didn't respond to her immediately. When Jiang Jinxiu saw that Gu Xichen ignored her, she shook his clothes even more vigorously, her lips pouting so much that they could almost hang a soy sauce bottle on them.
Gu Xichen chuckled softly upon seeing this: "You eat first, and I'll take care of the rest if you can't finish."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinxiu's tightly furrowed face blossomed into a beautiful smile once more.
That smile truly dazzled everyone present.
Just then, Gu Xichen finished peeling a shrimp and handed it to Jiang Jinxiu's mouth. Jiang Jinxiu subconsciously opened her mouth and bit it, but accidentally bit Gu Xichen's finger.
She suspected he did it on purpose, but she had no proof.
She couldn't help but give him a coquettish glare.
Seeing this, Grandma Luo couldn't help but say to Zhou Ying beside her, "Look, they really are a perfect couple, a match made in heaven."
Zhou Ying nodded repeatedly.
The meal was enjoyed by everyone in a pleasant and harmonious manner.
After finishing the meal, instead of just leaving, everyone worked together to clean up the dishes and take care of the trash.
Of course, this excludes Jiang Jinxiu, who is pampered like a treasure.
Jiang Jinxiu was ushered back to her room to rest.
Pregnant women should rest properly.
There's strength in numbers, we don't need her.
Believe it or not, even the younger ones know to find brooms and dustpans to clean up the trash.
Zhou Wenjing was really happy to see this. The Gu family has a really good family tradition, and they are really good to her daughter.
Soon everyone finished their work and gathered around the fire in the courtyard to stay up all night.
Staying up late on New Year's Eve brings abundance year after year.
Gu Lao Er pulled out several decks of cards from his pocket, clearly having come prepared in advance.
Jiang Jinhua's eyes lit up when she saw the playing cards Gu Lao Er pulled out: "Brother Jing, you're amazing!"
"Absolutely, it's more fun during Chinese New Year when everyone plays together."
Gu Xiliang walked in from outside at that moment, saw the playing cards in his second brother's hand, and shouted, "Damn it, Second Brother Jing, you guys played cards without inviting me, that's so unfair!!!"
When Jiang Jinhua and Zhao Guoan saw Gu Xiliang coming over, they went over and each put their arm around one of his shoulders: "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to spend the New Year with your parents?"
Gu Xiliang gestured for them to look behind him: "My parents have also come. They said they want to stay up all night with my uncle. The two brothers haven't been together for a long time."
The two nodded in realization.
During their time in Gujia Village, they also learned about Gu Dashan's ten-year slumber.
The arrival of Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu brought even more joy to everyone.
After introducing themselves, everyone quickly became acquainted.
Gu Xichen took the playing cards from Old Master Gu's hand and counted them: "Five decks of cards! Do you want some?"
He raised an eyebrow and spoke to Zhao Guoqiang.
"Okay!" Zhao Guoqiang replied crisply.
Along with Xiao Liu and Boss Gu, the group of grown men had a great time.
When Zhou Ying met everyone, some played games, some chatted, and even the children were having a great time.
Looking up, she saw Jiang Jinxiu still peering down the corridor from the second floor. She weighed her pockets, greeted Grandma Luo and the others, and then went upstairs.
After Zhou Ying went upstairs, she pulled Jiang Jinxiu into the inner room.
She took a bankbook out of her pocket and handed it to Jiang Jinxiu.
Jiang Jinxiu opened it and saw three thousand yuan!
She looked at Zhou Ying with confusion: "Aunt Zhou, why are you giving me this?"
Zhou Ying then explained that this money came from the ginseng that Jiang Jinxiu had given them earlier.
They originally intended to return the ginseng to Jiang Jinxiu, after all, it was a rare and extremely valuable item.
