(If you have forgotten the Ning Yuan couple who appeared in this chapter, you can go back to Chapter 64.)
The New Year’s Eve dinner is very sumptuous. This year everyone is together, and the old man wants to prepare a full banquet.
He asked people for tickets early in the morning and bought vegetables, meat and snacks.
They also enthusiastically gave out a lot of red envelopes.
This year is the year he gave out the most red envelopes. In previous years, there was only one child, Gu Siyuan, at home, and he was already in his twenties, so Gu Tieniu no longer cared about him.
Now that he has five more grandchildren, he gave each child a big red envelope.
Even Gu Siyuan probably had never received something so thick.
Early in the morning on New Year's Day, several children came to pay New Year's greetings to Gu Tieniu.
Each of them said something different. Little Zhuzi memorized a lot of words and was waiting to tell them to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, I wish you a prosperous new year, good fortune, prosperity, success, and everything goes well."
Gu Siyuan: You have no moral principles!
Gu Tieniu was very happy and kept saying "okay, okay". He stuffed a big red envelope into Xiao Zhuzi's hand, which looked very thick.
Gu Chun and his friends all received four red envelopes, one for his grandfather, one for his uncle, one for his aunt, and one for his second uncle.
Put it away first, and then secretly check to see how many there are at night.

This year is the first year after they were recognized as relatives, and they will also worship their parents and grandmother on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Now my parents’ names are included in the Gu family tree, and the sacrifices must be held together in the Gu family.
The old house of the Gu family is also in the north city. It is now occupied by Gu Tieniu’s cousin who manages the family affairs.
Gu Chun and his companions had been there once after they recognized their relatives, so it was no stranger to them this time.
In the old house, Gu Chun met many unfamiliar clansmen.
Nowadays, social atmosphere has become more relaxed. In the past, so many people would not dare to gather together to worship.
Looking at the new tablets of his parents and grandmother, Gu Chun offered incense. Perhaps they were reunited now...
Gu Tieniu stood there, looking at the three tablets, his eyes full of sadness.
Gu Chun quickly pushed Xiao Zhuzi.
He also understood the meaning and walked over, pulling Gu Tieniu with him, "Grandpa, let's go home. I want to hear your stories about the battlefield."
Gu Tieniu finally came to his senses and agreed, "Okay, let's go home."
Gu Sen and Gu Zi looked at each other, their eyes full of relief.
In previous years, after paying tribute to my mother, my father would always be unable to recover for several days.
Sometimes they felt like he was about to follow his mother, and both brothers were very worried.
But with a few kids this year, the father seems to have cheered up.
He seemed to have found the motivation to live, and it looked like he could live for another few decades.
Seeing this, the two brothers were very grateful for the children's appearance.
Now the atmosphere at home is getting better and better, full of laughter and joy, which is completely different from before.
.......
The Spring Festival of 1979 passed like this. When Gu Chun and his family started going to school again, some things happened silently.
Ning Yuan, the former vice chairman of the Cabinet Committee, later became chairman. Not long after, he took the initiative to transfer to a government agency.
Former chairman Lin Aiguo’s property was confiscated because he was secretly reported by Gu Chun.
Although Ning Yuan replaced Lin Aiguo, the revolution ended soon after and many people began to be rehabilitated.
Ning Yuan was sensitive to the changes in the situation. He immediately found someone he knew to help him get out of this quagmire and changed his job.
Although his position was demoted, he felt much more at peace.
He just wanted to do practical things, and even if it was hard work to go to the countryside for inspection, he felt that he was valuable.
Qin Xiaoxiao very much agrees with her husband's transfer.
In the past, her husband was on the cabinet committee because he could get first-hand information and to protect her, a descendant of the Lin family.
In fact, she knew that Ning Yuan didn't like it there.
Now that her threat has been lifted, she hopes her husband can do what he likes.
Ning Yuan felt that the current social atmosphere was very good, and he also hoped that his wife could have her own career, so he helped her find a job.
"Become a high school teacher?" Qin Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She didn't expect her husband to suddenly help her find a job.
Ning Yuan held her hand, sat on the sofa, and said gently, "I know you always want to go out to work, but I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I asked you to stay at home. It's because I'm too timid, I..."
Qin Xiaoxiao leaned on his shoulder and shook her head. "I know you stayed in the cabinet committee for me. Without you, I might have died a long time ago."
"Don't say that. You'll be fine. I wanted you to be happy, so I found you this job. Haven't you always wanted to be a teacher?
You've learned a lot before, but unfortunately you've never been able to put it to use. Now that you have this opportunity, do you want to go?"
Qin Xiaoxiao followed her heart. "I want to go. I learned a lot in the Lin family private school. I even know a few foreign languages. But Chinese is my best subject. Do you want me to be a Chinese teacher?"
"Well, do I need to get ready quickly? Where can I find high school textbooks?"
Ning Yuan touched his wife's head and said lovingly, "Don't worry, I will find it for you."
"Ning Yuan, thank you."
Qin Xiaoxiao felt that since the darkness passed, her life had become happier and happier.
She has a job!
Although she hasn't officially started working yet, she has been looking forward to it and has read the textbook countless times. She has memorized all the lessons in it.
Then one day, the street office brought investigators to find her.
They asked a lot of questions about the Lin family and Lin Aiguo.
