Road to Rebirth

Chapter 89

Li Xuemei didn't let go.

When Jiang Xiulan heard this, she also knew that they were guarding against her.

I just want to get in, so I have to agree with Gu Ruhai.

But now is not the time to talk about that.

Jiang Xiulan stopped thinking.

Chatted with Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai used the excuse that the children were still waiting for dinner at home, and left.

Mrs. Gu didn't even bring back the basket, let alone an annual gift.

The reason for this year's ceremony is to give half of it to the son to take back.

But Mrs. Gu was not willing to part with it. Gu Rushan's annual present was so thin, Gu Laosan would not be able to come back until he was in his thirties, so there was no need to think about the annual gift. There was none every year, and this year there could be more.

So Mrs. Gu is still counting on this little thing to spend the new year.

After all, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, all three sons will come to the house to celebrate the festival. If there is nothing that can be sold, Mrs. Gu will not be able to bear it.

Thinking about why she was so tight-lipped, Mrs. Gu was furious.

Originally every year at this time, every family slaughtered pigs. In previous years, Mrs. Gu would sell the pigs raised by her own family directly for money. The pork for Chinese New Year was all pigs from the old family. Once the pigs were killed, the old lady would take Gu If Shan goes to the door and wants to return half a fan, he will have a full and fat year.

Niannian's own pork has been eaten for a long time, and these two old ladies, who actually know how to burn meatballs, will make some better meals.

But this damned boss didn't know what he was obsessed with this year. After raising the pigs for a year, the family didn't keep them for food, so he sold them all.

The bad Mrs. Gu has no place to get the meat for nothing, and her own pigs have been sold long ago. If she had to spend money to find butcher Feng to buy them, Mrs. Gu would be very distressed, so Gu Ruhai's pork for this New Year's gift had already been sold. It was arranged by Mrs. Gu.

Gu Ruhai also knew who his mother was, so he didn't expect that half of the gift in return, so he dragged Li Xuemei away.

Being able to leave in such an amicable manner was already the biggest gain of the day, Gu Ruhai didn't have such a big heart, thinking that his old mother would prepare a return gift.

The couple walked home, and Li Xuemei complained along the way: "Look, what the second child's family brought, your mother is still picky, if I had known, I would also prepare a three-jin piece of pork. It's a small narrow fish, anyway, it's not flattering, so why put that hot face on someone's cold ass."

What old lady Gu said just now made Li Xuemei angry.

The annual ceremony that I originally planned to prepare must not be biased. The elderly can be biased. If you are a junior yourself, you can still follow suit.

I am impartial, but I am afraid that Gu Ruhai will feel uncomfortable.

But that's good, it's better to prepare less than to prepare more.

Gu Ruhai comforted Li Xuemei in a flattering voice, knowing that today's incident made his wife angry, "I know, it's all my fault, the old man is an old man after all, we can still pick their faults, the second child is not right. Sensible, I can be the same as him when I am the boss, it doesn't mean that the more I live, the more I go back. Daughter-in-law, you are a lot of adults, let's not care about it."

Now that Gu Ruhai has been in business for a long time, he is also very good at coaxing people with his tongue, at least he is not the dull guy who can't beat a fart with three sticks.

Li Xuemei smiled, and pushed away Gu Ruhai's attentive support, "Who cares about their return gifts? It's not because I always feel uncomfortable, but because I stand up today, I have confidence in my heart, even in previous years. I can't bear the treatment, it seems that my temper is also good."

This is a feeling, too many things happened this year.

When they got home, Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying had already prepared a meal.

At the end of the year, the grain was harvested, and the house no longer had black-faced steamed buns, but now at least it was steamed buns made of white flour and corn flour. After all, no one could afford white-faced steamed buns.

But this is already a good meal with double the treatment, and the children are very satisfied.

As soon as the day got colder, Gu Xiaoqing at home stewed a pot of vegetables with cabbage tofu vermicelli, plus hot steamed buns and porridge. That was a good life for a wealthy family in the village.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the house needs to be cleaned.

The dust of the year must be swept away on this day, which heralds the prosperity and prosperity of the coming year.

Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoqing, and Li Xuemei cleaned the house and turned the house upside down.

Gu Ruhai was sent to give New Year gifts to Li Qinghai, the father-in-law's family.

When it was dark, Gu Ruhai came back, and the two baskets in his hands were not only not empty, but full of them.

Let Li Xuemei see that anger.

This idiot doesn't know that this is the old man's family.

In previous years, my family didn't have it and I didn't say it, but this year my family is very rich, so why bother to make such a move, it wouldn't make my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law laugh at me.

Gu Ruhai put the basket down, knowing that he probably didn't do well, looking at Li Xuemei's complexion, no one could tell.

Rubbing his hands together, he said anxiously, "It's really not what I want to take. I can't push your brother away. The two of them fought me, and your two sisters-in-law just set it up quickly. I don't want to take it." yes, really.

Later, because of this, my father also reprimanded me, saying that this is something for the children, not for the two of us. "

Li Xuemei was overjoyed. Indeed, Gu Ruhai's body was nothing compared to her two elder brothers.

As a sample, Li Xuemei thought triumphantly, if Gu Ruhai dared to bully her, it is estimated that two brothers-in-law would be enough to drink a pot if they came to the door.

Gu Xiaojie rushed forward a long time ago. In the past two days, this kid has been playing like crazy, mixing with a bunch of boys in the village and running around like crazy.

That round, milky and tender face was almost blown into a yam egg skin now.

Today is another day of crazy running because of cleaning the house.

This is not just home.

Hearing that Gu Ruhai said that his grandfather gave them three, his heart immediately felt like scratching with a few little paws. This child is good at everything and is very sensible, even when faced with sweets, he has no resistance.

The sugar balls that are not festivals will be rounded up by Gu Xiaojie alone.

Every day when I opened my eyes at dawn, I was thinking about asking Gu Xiaoqing for a candy.

Take Gu Xiaoqing that rare one.

Li Xuemei lifted the cloth on the basket, Huo!
Startled.

The basket contained twenty catties of pork, two pork knuckles, a bag of fried peanut candy, a bag of fried melon seeds, a bag of white sugar, and a bag of peach cakes. basket.

This is a New Year's gift for every family in the countryside.
