Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang exclaimed, "!!!"
They immediately got busy.
That's why they say having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
With Grandma Gu around, Yu Mingxiang hardly had to worry about the customs and traditions during holidays, because...
Old Mrs. Gu would think ahead of her!
I'll help her fill in the gaps!
As Yu Mingxiang and her children were busily scattering sesame stalks in the yard, Gu Guanhai and the Old Yuan couple stood at the entrance of the main room watching.
In the courtyard, they laughed and joked.
Outside the courtyard.
"Bang!"
A firework exploded.
Fireworks filled the sky.
Incredibly dazzling.
Gu Guanhai: ...
The light of fireworks was reflected in my eyes, and the laughter of my family filled my ears.
His expression was momentarily dazed.
Upon seeing this, Mei Fang couldn't help but sigh.
"How wonderful!"
She grew up in Hong Kong, and although the Lunar New Year atmosphere there was also very strong, but...
Given her family circumstances, the annual family gatherings during holidays are essentially a battlefield without bloodshed, so...
In the past, the Spring Festival was neither a source of happiness nor a source of joy for her.
But this time...
In the countryside far from her homeland, she unexpectedly felt a long-lost happiness.
This is……
It felt like the Chinese New Year when she was a child and didn't understand anything.
Upon hearing this, Old Yuan was speechless.
He glanced at his wife, then at Gu Guanhai, and a smile spread across his face.
The Yuan family was different from the Mei family. In prominent families, there was a clear distinction between direct and indirect descendants, and he was born into the direct line.
His other two wives will be taken care of by his family, now...
Mei Fang felt happy.
Old Gu felt happy.
He will be happy.
On this New Year's Eve, Yu Mingxiang and Grandma Gu were busy until very late.
After finishing her work, she directly asked if she could keep Old Mrs. Gu here.
But.
"No, no."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gu refused, saying, "The Gu family genealogy is kept in my house. I still need to go back to set up the offerings for them, and I need to offer incense for them tomorrow morning. I also need to wait for the children to come and kowtow!"
"It's the Lunar New Year, I can't stay here."
"I'm going back now. I'll come back to see my great-grandson tomorrow after I'm done with my work."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Gu walked outside.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang quickly followed.
"Then I'll go back with you!"
She said, "I'll go back with you to pack up the offerings and such."
Grandma Gu shook her head upon hearing this, "No need, no need."
She smiled and said, "I've already planned to have our New Year's Eve dinner here. I've already packed everything up at home."
"Go back quickly, you've been busy all day, you must be tired."
Grandma Gu pushed Yu Mingxiang, preventing her from seeing them off.
Seeing this, Yu Mingxiang could not argue and could only call her youngest son over.
Qin Xiangdong: ...
He felt obligated to accept gifts, and besides, he had never met his own grandmother since he was a child, so he genuinely liked Grandma Gu.
Yu Mingxiang stood outside the courtyard gate watching Grandma Gu leave. After returning to the courtyard, she glanced at the oil lamps lit in the kitchen and the east room, and said to Gu Guanhai, "Don't be so quick to turn off the lights."
"Aunt Gu said that the house must be lit tonight; the small oil lamps in the kitchen and the east room must be on."
Gu Guanhai was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.
"This is a local custom."
He laughed and said, "How could I not know better than you?"
Yu Mingxiang: "Who knows? You left home when you were so young and haven't come back for Chinese New Year many times. Who knows if you still remember the customs of your hometown?"
As they were talking.
Yu Mingxiang greeted Old Yuan and his wife and then walked towards the backyard.
The air was filled with the smell of fireworks, creating a festive atmosphere for the New Year.
Gu Guanhai: ...
Watching the three figures leave, I suddenly felt that the front yard was empty.
