She handed the red envelope back to the old woman and said, "This is too much, I can't accept it."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu immediately took a step back.
"More of what?"
She smiled and said, "This is a belated gift from your grandfather to you. You can't think it's too much, and you must accept it!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
A gift to mark our meeting?
In this day and age, who gives a ten-thousand-yuan red envelope as a greeting gift?
In addition to the ten thousand yuan, there was an extra two hundred.
This is a gift for meeting you and a New Year's gift; nothing is missing.
But.
Ten thousand yuan!
That's ten thousand yuan!
Let alone in this era, even in the 1980s, having ten thousand yuan was a remarkable thing, so...
Yu Mingxiang opened her mouth as if to refuse, but...
Gu Guanhai spoke first, saying, "If your mother gives it to you, just accept it!"
"Have you forgotten what I told you? My mother can't be bought with money. She's not short of cash."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
Having said all that, how could she possibly say that?
She's about to be with Gu Guanhai, so if she refuses again, it will seem like she's being coy.
Yu Mingxiang hesitated before putting away the red envelope. After a moment's thought, she said to Grandma Gu, "Grandma Gu, after the New Year, we'll have some time to clean out another room. Why don't you move in with us?"
These words were spoken.
Grandma Gu: "!!!"
He immediately looked at Yu Mingxiang in disbelief.
"Really...really?"
She stammered, "Can...can I really move in with you? Don't you...dislike me for being old and unkempt?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang chuckled.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, taking the old lady's arm and saying, "What are you saying? Where are you old? Where are you sloppy? You are the most dignified old lady I have ever met!"
"Respectable and impressive, making you popular everywhere!"
As she spoke, Yu Mingxiang patted the pocket where she kept the red envelopes.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu exclaimed, "!!!"
With tears welling up in her eyes, she turned away to wipe them away.
Seeing this, Qin Weiguo and the others quickly tried to smooth things over.
"That's right, Grandma Gu, you're the most dignified! We all love you!"
"I love it so much! Grandma, if you move in, my son won't have to wait for you so anxiously anymore!"
"..."
The large courtyard was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
Gu Guanhai: ...
He looked at Yu Mingxiang with deep eyes.
For the first time, I felt that the simple joys of everyday life were so close to him, and happiness seemed within easy reach.
certainly.
Grandma Gu wasn't the only one giving out New Year's money. After she finished giving it to the younger children, Gu Guanhai and Yu Mingxiang gave theirs. After Gu Guanhai and Yu Mingxiang, Old Yuan and his wife gave theirs...
After Mr. and Mrs. Yuan finished sending theirs, Qin Weiguo and his wife, along with his younger brother, sister-in-law, and son, sent theirs...
And so it went...
The biggest winner is undoubtedly the little dumpling.
Little dumpling: "Awahahaha..."
It's making noise and squeaking, and at such a young age it's already a thousand-yuan household.
The second winner was Xuan Cao, followed by Qin Xiangdong...
The brother and sister: ...
Head to head, counting money until their hands cramped.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! After the New Year, I'm taking my sister to town to shop!"
"Mom will buy me anything I need. Can my second brother give me cash instead?"
Qin Xiangdong: "!!!"
Looking at his greedy and insatiable younger sister, he twitched his lips.
Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Grandma Gu drank a bowl of spiritual spring water with everyone, and then went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang quickly followed.
soon.
The sounds of chopping and preparing vegetables came from the kitchen.
While busy at work, Grandma Gu turned to Yu Mingxiang and said, "These are the offerings to be set out tomorrow morning, and these are the dishes to be eaten tomorrow..."
"Our local custom is that we can't use knives, scissors, or needles tomorrow. Did you take back your scissors and needles? Did you scatter the sesame stalks I brought?"
