The Spring Festival was approaching soon, and it was already 1982.
This year's Spring Festival, Gu Daniu and his wife also spent it in the city with Gu Chun and others.
Because Gu Zhenzhu went abroad to study and couldn't come back.
Even if they went back to Gujia Village, they would be the only ones there to celebrate the New Year, and it would be quite deserted.
Gu Chun simply suggested that they stay.
Gu Tieniu and Gu Sen's family knew that the children were loyal and righteous, so they helped persuade He Ling to stay.
As for their habit of going to the compound to celebrate the New Year every year, it is not impossible to change it.
"If the kids don't want to go, we'll just come over. It's not far away, and I'm not a pedantic person. What's the big deal?"
Gu Tieniu is very open-minded. At his age, as long as he can be with his children and grandchildren, where to celebrate the New Year is really not a big problem for him.
In recent years, Gu Daniu and He Ling have gotten along very well with Gu Tieniu's family.
Knowing that he was speaking the truth, the two decided to stay.
They close the store for one day every month and go back to Gujia Village.
It was always the two of them who stayed at home. Most of the villagers went to work in the food factory or worked in the fields, so they seemed out of place.
He Ling felt uncomfortable when she thought about spending the New Year alone at home in the cold and lonely atmosphere.
Since she decided to stay, He Ling became busy. After closing the bun shop, she started preparing New Year's goods.
Gu Xia and Gu Qiu also returned from winter vacation, and followed He Ling to buy things everywhere to make preparations.
Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi were cleaning the house.
The whole family worked together until New Year's Eve, when they sat around a large table and had the New Year's Eve dinner.
During the New Year holidays, Gu Chun took his younger brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings to Director Liu of the textile factory, Aunt Guo from the former slum, Chen Xiaoyue, and Qin Xiaoxiao.
On the fifth day of the New Year, they were taken to the Gu family in the military compound by a jeep.
The reason is that Gu Siyuan is going to bring his girlfriend home for dinner!
This year, Gu Chun is already 26 years old, and Gu Siyuan is two years older than Gu Chun. He is 28 years old this year and just got a partner.
So the whole family attaches great importance to this.
Gu Siyuan's girlfriend is Mi Tingting, who was also in the art troupe before.
The two of them met through Jiang Zhimei's colleague.
Gu Siyuan has been busy with work. He would be away on a mission for more than half a year. There was even one time when he was away for a year before returning.
There was no contact between them, which made the whole family terrified, fearing that something might have happened to him.
It was only when Gu Sen knew some inside information that he told them that Gu Siyuan was safe that they felt relieved.
When he returned from his mission, Jiang Zhimei ordered him to find a partner to marry.
She hoped that Gu Siyuan would have his own family and would not work too hard outside.
This is the love of all parents in the world.
I want my children to succeed, but I am also worried about their safety.
Born into a military family, Jiang Zhimei also knew that she had no choice but to serve in the army.
But as a mother, she still hopes that her son will be more attached to the world after he has his own family.
Even the King of Hell is not so cruel as to take him away.
Perhaps these ideas are always feudal superstitions, but for Yu Jiang Zhimei, this is just a mother's simple wish.
Gu Siyuan appears to be carefree, but he is actually a sensible person.
What's more, he saw that his comrades had wives and children and looked very happy.
He is old enough and it is time for him to consider his own life.
So he agreed to the blind date.
Coincidentally, Mi Tingting is also an "older single woman".
She is 26 years old this year, the same as Gu Chun. In this era, it is rare to be unmarried at this age.
Like Gu Chun, Mi Tingting has her own career.
After retiring from the art troupe, she went to work at a radio station.
She started out as a radio host, and later when a television station was established, she joined the station.
But she is not actually interested in hosting shows, she prefers some creative work.
Therefore, this year, Mi Tingting officially switched to planning the Spring Festival Gala.
It is worth mentioning that their family now has a color TV.
Gu Dong just mentioned, "If only there was a big color TV at home", but he didn't expect Chen Hejun to still remember it.
Not long after returning, he asked someone to bring them a color TV.
These days, most families still use black and white TVs, and this color TV was brought by Chen Hejun from abroad.
Gu Dong was quite surprised for a while and called him a "good brother-in-law".
They watched this year's Spring Festival Gala on that big color TV.
Gu Dong also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala. This year's gala was recorded, so she still had the reunion dinner at home.
So she recognized Mi Tingting as soon as she saw her: "Sister Mi, why is it you?"
Mi Tingting was also surprised: "Little Gu Dong."
She was deeply impressed by this child. At such a young age, he could stand in the center position while dancing.
And from her perspective after years of experience in the art troupe, she believes that Gu Dong is very talented and is born to be in the center of the stage.
But she didn't know that this child was related to Gu Siyuan's family?
Seeing Mi Tingting's inquiring eyes looking at him, Gu Siyuan quickly introduced them to each other: "They are all my cousins, and they are my third uncle's children."
Mi Tingting also remembered that she had heard that he had a third uncle who was living away from home.
Then she greeted Gu Chun and the others, "Hello, I'm Mi Tingting, Gu Siyuan's girlfriend."
Gu Dong and Xiao Zhuzi responded: "Hello, sister-in-law."
