Chapter 74 New Year
In the following days, Gu Muran's work was still busy. Chen Lie's father's operation went smoothly and he also received charity funds from the Gu family and Li family charities, which were enough for post-operative physical therapy. Li Qihan returned to the army after his leave. In the past half month, he often came to the hospital to visit.
Time flies, and it's a new year again. Gu Muruan also ushered in her first New Year with her family.
After working overtime and taking a day off, Gu Munuan finally had her holiday on New Year's Eve. Everyone in the Gu family gathered at the mansion. Gu Muxi was also there. The Guan family asked her to make her own choice. She said she still wanted to spend the New Year at the Gu family and wait until the Lantern Festival to go to the Guan family.
The Gu family gave all the servants a holiday, and only the old housekeeper and his wife were at home. Ever since his son went abroad, the housekeeper had been spending the New Year at the Gu family.
At this moment, Gu's father and mother were busy preparing ingredients in the kitchen, housekeeper Zhou's wife Aunt Zhou was helping in the kitchen, and Mr. and Mrs. Gu were fiddling with the flowers and plants in the living room, all of which they had bought during the New Year's Festival a few days ago. The whole hall was filled with joy.
Gu Jingnian and Gu Mocheng were pasting couplets at the door. This was a tradition in the Gu family. Because everyone was busy but wanted to paste the couplets by hand, Gu's father pasted them together with Grandpa Gu when he was a child.
When Gu Mocheng and his friends were young, they pasted the pictures with their father. Now, little Gu Jingnian, dressed like the dolls in the New Year pictures, looked at Gu Mocheng standing on the ladder, calmly directing them, and the pictures were pasted neatly. Lu Qingqing took pictures of her son and husband.
Gu Muxi, Gu Muyan and Gu Mochen were having a great time playing snowball fights in the yard.
Gu Moci sat on the sofa, acting as a robot, peeling nuts for everyone. Gu Muwan pulled Gu Muran, who had just woken up from the night shift, to sit beside him and eat while watching TV programs.
Father Gu was in the kitchen, looking back at this scene inadvertently, and sighed to Mother Gu: "It's been more than 20 years since our family had a real reunion year. If only we had discovered the truth a few years earlier and Xia Xia hadn't gotten married yet, it would have been great."
Mother Gu also said: "Yes, at least I'm back. I don't know how lonely Nuannuan must have felt during the New Year. But from now on, we can always celebrate the New Year together."
"Fortunately, Nuannuan doesn't have a partner and hasn't married yet, otherwise I would feel even more uncomfortable." Father Gu looked back at the dazed Gu Munuan and said with a smile.
"Xixi and Siyan's wedding should be put on the agenda next year, right?" Mother Gu suddenly thought.
"Yes, we've been engaged for a year, and so many things have happened in the meantime. We should get married next year. However, we just need to cooperate with the Guan family on this matter. After all, Xixi has already recognized the Guan family. If we continue to do the same as before, I'm afraid it won't be good.
After all, Nuannuan and Xixi's situations are similar, but their actual experiences are indeed very different. We want Nuannuan to go home so that she can feel no alienation from us like Wanwan and Xiaoyan, and not pay too much attention to Xixi. This is because Nuannuan has Wanwan and Aci to accompany her and is close to them.
If we only have this one child, we will think that we only ask her to return to the Gu family wholeheartedly, so why not let Xixi return to the Guan family as well? "The housekeeper was called away by Mrs. Gu to help at this time, and Father Gu lowered his voice and said to Mother Gu.
"Well, that makes sense. It's just that Nuannuan has a good personality. If it were someone else, they would have quarreled with us a long time ago because Xixi wanted to return to the Guan family here.
Fortunately, Ah Ci and Wan Wan were always clinging to Nuan Nuan, so they were able to get Nuan Nuan to stay at the beginning." said Mrs. Gu.
"Actually, what I wanted to say just now is that the three of them are the same age. Xixi is about to get married, and Wanwan and Nuannuan don't seem to have found anyone they like. And Aci doesn't mention this either." Mother Gu brought the topic back to her own thoughts.
"My daughters, even if they don't want to get married in this life, I can still support them. As for Ah Ci, let it be." Father Gu is very open-minded about his children's marriage.
Mother Gu: ...She looks like she doesn’t want to bother with you.
