Chapter 62 Prelude to Family Separation
The New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening was still eaten in the main hall. After two tables, Gu Dalang’s hands and feet were broken and it was difficult to move. Old Mrs. Gu’s hands were fine, so she was carried into the main hall.
She held her face and gave everyone several discounts to eat full meals during the Chinese New Year and the feeling of being able to eat meat.
Gu Changgen looked at her coldly, "It's the New Year, put your face away."
Who are you shaking the face for?
After the New Year, we will separate our families, and we will not be able to live in the last year before the split.
After Gu Changgen said something, Old Mrs. Gu accepted it, but it could still be seen that she was unhappy.
However, few people just care.
The Gu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner has been quite rich in this era, including pure radish meat, braised pork, vegetarian cabbage, vegetarian shredded potatoes, and a plate of pork and sauerkraut dumplings for each person. In addition to the dumplings, there is also a bowl of dried buckwheat rice.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Most of the braised pork is filled with potatoes, and there is very little meat, but everyone has a piece.
With Mrs. Gu, her remaining power is still there, and everyone is eating properly.
On New Year's Eve, everyone was overeating.
No matter it is dumplings, rice or vegetables, there is nothing left.
After eating, they all held their stomachs and roasted the fire. The table was in a mess and no one wanted to accept it.
According to the New Year’s Eve dinner, New Year’s money will be paid.
But these days, you can’t even eat enough, so don’t think about it.
In fact, in previous years, Mrs. Gu would still send a red envelope of one cent, but it had nothing to do with her granddaughter, she got her grandson.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Gu Sheng couldn't hold on anymore. She wanted to go to bed and had to study in the system for three hours later before going to bed afterwards.
When Gu Jianjun saw that his two daughters were sleepy, he took people back to sleep.
Gu Changgen looked at his back, opened his mouth, and did not scream.
The family of four left, Old Mrs. Gu curled her lips and snorted angrily, and was glared at by Gu Changgen.
New Year's Eve just passed like this.
On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, the sun was rarely rising, but the sun was not warm at this time, but it was colder because of the ice.
The children of the Gu family went out to visit and greet the New Year, and the two sisters stayed at home and were too lazy to go out.
However, at noon, Gu Jianjun dug up and took them to the brigade leader's house and several elders of the Hu family to pay New Year's greetings, and got a few handfuls of fruits and vegetables.
"Dad, won't we go to the Jiang family?" Gu Jiu thought for a while and said.
Her dad snored her head: "Don't go."
Gu Jiu, who was holding a chicken coop, said: "...Oh!"
Gu Jianjun looked at her with a funny look. After sending his daughter back, he and Xia Qiuyue secretly went to Jiang Yan's house, but no one saw it.
I stayed inside for half an hour and then came out.
Go back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year!
Xia Qiuyue’s mother’s house is far away, and it’s cold and it’s very inconvenient to go out. She hasn’t been back for many years.
Except for her, the other three bedrooms in the family took their children back.
However, only Zhang Lijuan would stay at her parents' home with her husband and children for one night, and the other two would go back on the same day.
I came back in the afternoon.
Their parents' homes are not far away, just next door to the brigade.
Gu Sheng happened to see them go out and see them coming back. When they go, they packed up gifts, packs of small bags.
When he came back, Zhao Xia was carrying a basket covered with gray cloth, while Gao Cuifen was carrying a few packages with a smile.
At first glance, I was receiving a generous gift!
Zhao Xia glared at her with an ugly face, twisted her body and returned to the room.
"Hmph! My parents don't like it, nothing to do with me." Gao Cuifen spat at her back.
"Sanya, do you want to eat rice cake? I'll give it to you." Then, she turned around and looked at Gu Sheng with a smile, and took out the white cake from a greasy bag.
Gu Sheng understood that he wanted to sell well.
She took it without hesitation: "Thank you, Aunt San!"
Gao Cuifen's eyes turned, and took out another piece, holding back her heartache: "This is for Xiaojiu, you can give it to her."
"Yeah, I understand, Aunt San, thank you." Gu Sheng smiled sweetly.
Anyway, it’s nothing to say a few good things to laugh at.
Gao Cuifen was indeed even happier. She said a few words to Gu Sheng before returning to the house.
In the big house, Zhao Xia saw this scene through the window, snorted coldly, and her heart turned around for a few times.
Why did Gao Cuifen suddenly treat the children in the second wife? It must have smelled the benefits.
"Daya, what happened in the yard after mom returned to your grandmother's house today?"
Gu Daya lowered her head, her voice muffled, "It's nothing!"
She was very angry. Sanlang and Siya could go to her grandmother's house. She had to stay and take care of her elder brother. It was unfair!
Zhao Xia didn't notice her mood and started to ponder herself.
The fourth room only came back in the afternoon of the third year of junior high school.
Old Mrs. Gu had a gloomy face again. She thought to herself, the fourth child had not been separated for a day or two, and she would not live in her father-in-law’s house after she was separated.
Isn't this a son-in-law coming to the door?
"Old man, can this family be separated?" Holding his son and daughter-in-law for most of his life, Old Mrs. Gu didn't want to give up the rights in her hands.
"I've said it all, what can I do if I don't know? What are you thinking again? Worrying if I've got a family member?" In fact, Gu Changgen felt uncomfortable.
Especially the more the time they split up, the happier the sons.
The more he felt uncomfortable!
My son is big and his wings are hard, and he has his own small family, alas~
"But after we split up our family, our family will be disbanded."
This sentence suddenly made Gu Changgen's heart feel sour.
He took a hard sip of the dry tobacco, "Do it! You can't leave it."
Old Mrs. Gu stopped talking.
On the fourth day of the lunar month, I got up very early, one by one, and I was very excited. I had been slowing down for a long time and didn’t make breakfast.
"I am a turtle who is suffering from plague. I am not dead yet. You want to go to heaven without even having any distinction between this family? I just want to starve you to death? You are unfilial, get out! Go and cook!" Old Mrs. Gu cursed in the main room.
He was so angry that he was breathing heavily!
"It's all about dividing the family. It's all about dirt eating. I'm serving you with shit and peeing. A bunch of ungrateful wolves, Sanlang, go, call your second and third masters to see these gangs of black-hearted things. Before they can separate, I want to starve my mother to death. After dividing the family, I can't carry her to the mountain to feed the wolf!!"
Everyone's faces changed drastically and rushed to the main room.
"Mom, we don't have that meaning. We are all women. We cook late. Don't be angry, I'll let her do it now."
As he said that, Gu Jianguo immediately turned around and yelled at Zhao Xia, "I'm blind! It's better to cook! Something without eyes."
This directly scolded everyone.
Zhao Xia turned around, Gao Cuifen curled her lips, and she went to cook.
Gu Jianye and Zhang Lijuan winked and told her to go too.
In an instant, there were only three sons left in the main room, comforting Mrs. Gu softly.
They dare not bear the reputation of being unfilial.
