I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 168 Visiting Relatives after the New Year

When Gu Wenxuan heard her grandparents constantly persuading the children to eat and saw the children constantly looking at the adults in the family, she couldn't help feeling sad and funny at the same time. After thinking about it, she decided to bring them out.

There were a lot of delicious food in her room. Without the tight control of their elders, the children would squint their eyes and eat happily whatever she gave them.

Of course, she didn't give the children too many snacks, after all, they had prepared a table of delicious food for lunch.

For the next half of the morning, people kept coming to the Gu family. In addition to the children who went to almost every house and wanted to take the opportunity to buy some snacks for themselves to eat slowly, the adults who had received favors from the Gu family also came to wish Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li a happy new year.

The Gu family was no longer as deserted as in previous years, and both Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li were surprised and happy.

They were happy, so Gu Wenxuan became even more generous. Not only did she give snacks to all the children who came to pay New Year's greetings, but she also gave brown sugar eggs to all the adults who came to pay New Year's greetings equally.

After a lively mid-morning, Gu Yongming and four other adults and the four boys in the family came into the house one after another with smiles on their faces.

Since the families of Gu Xing and Gu Tong were going to stay at Gu Wenxuan's house for lunch, after Gu Yongming and the others came back, no one was lazy. They divided the work and cooperated with each other and quickly prepared an exceptionally sumptuous lunch.

There was everything from chicken, duck, fish and meat to tofu and eggs. The side dishes also included fresh vegetables that are hard to find in winter. Add to that the large servings of white flour buns, and everyone ate so much without even raising their heads.

Everyone else was filled with only two feelings: happiness and satisfaction. Gu Wenxuan's third grandmother felt a little jealous, but she was afraid of Gu Wenxuan's sharp tongue and did not dare to say anything nonsense in front of her. Therefore, the atmosphere in the Gu family was quite harmonious at this moment.

After sending off the two families who insisted on helping with the cleanup before leaving, Gu Wenxuan told Li, "Grandma, I've almost used up all the eggs we saved."

Li knew what was going on. She said, "Grandma knows. It's okay. We are all happy today. This is better than anything else."

Their family had lived through such a difficult time in the past, but now they have become so popular. Li felt that Gu Wenxuan had helped her to regain all the reputation in her life, so why would she feel sorry for the eggs she used?

Old Master Gu had the same idea. Not only did he not think there was anything wrong with what Gu Wenxuan did today, he thought she was very considerate.

All I can say is that for the older generation, face is still very important.

After Gu Yongming and others figured out what was going on, no one blamed Gu Wenxuan for wasting things.

Jia Guizhi said, "Let's bring some back from your grandma's house tomorrow."

Li waved her hand quickly, "I have already talked to your aunt, she will send a basket to our house later."

Of course, Li didn't take Gu Xing's things for free. She had already given Gu Xing the cloth in exchange for eggs.

Of course Gu Xing refused. After all, she had really benefited a lot from Gu Wenxuan's family in recent times.

But Li was one step ahead. She secretly put the cloth into the return gift to Gu Xing's family.

Anyway, Gu Xing came here with a backpack on her back, and the return gift that Li prepared for her also filled up the entire backpack. She secretly stuffed a piece of cloth underneath it, and Gu Xing couldn't find it at all.

Li told her two daughters-in-law about this with some pride, and then told them that she had packed all the gifts prepared for their families into backpacks, and they could take them away tomorrow.

In the past, the Gu family lived in hardship, and every time when gifts were given to relatives during festivals, the Gu family was generally taken care of and received subsidies. Now that the Gu family is living a better life, the gifts that Li prepares for her in-laws are always exceptionally generous.

In addition, she also prepared strings of money for the other children in the family, just like the ones she had prepared for the other children in the family, and asked her two daughters-in-law to return to their parents' home so that she could give them to their nephews and nieces.

Of course, Jia Guizhi and Lin Shuzhen also prepared money to ward off evil spirits for their nephews and nieces from their natal family, but they were still deeply moved by Li's thoughtfulness.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Jia Guizhi and Lin Shuzhen, accompanied by their husbands and children, returned to their parents' homes respectively. The families in the village whose daughters were married off also basically welcomed their own daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.

Gu Tong's daughter Gu Yonghe and Gu Xing's daughter Fang Chunxi also returned to their parents' homes. They not only brought gifts to their parents, but also to their aunts, uncles and uncles.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Li don't have a daughter, but they are not the kind of people who would accept gifts from their nieces for free.

The old couple had already prepared practical return gifts for Gu Yonghe and Fang Chunxi. They also gave generous amounts of money strung together with red strings to ward off evil spirits to the little kids of their families.

Like previous years, the old couple had lunch in the third room that day.

Gu Yonghe, the daughter of the third wife, had a very aggressive temper. When her family lived with the first wife, her aunt and cousin always bullied her and her mother in various ways, and her mother was a nobody.

Gu Yonghe had no one to protect her, but she was unwilling to suffer losses all the time, so she was gradually forced into becoming a hot-tempered person.

Of course, Old Man Gu didn't like Gu Yonghe, a "troublemaker" at the beginning, but he was the kind of person who could do shameless things in private, but could never be criticized for his shameless and hypocritical nature in public.

In addition, Gu Yonghe's biological father, Gu Tong, has always been dissatisfied with Old Man Gu because of what Old Man Gu did to the second branch of the Gu family. The more Old Man Gu favors the first branch, the more dissatisfied Gu Tong is with him.

Old Man Gu was counting on Gu Tong's family to work honestly, and he didn't dare to really provoke Gu Tong. So even if he looked down on Gu Yonghe, he would at most scold her a few words and didn't dare to do anything too excessive to her.

He wanted to interfere in Gu Yonghe's marriage, but Gu Tong didn't trust him at all. No matter what family he found, Gu Tong insisted that he would not agree.

In the end, it was Bai Lizheng's daughter who helped to introduce Gu Yonghe to her current husband's family.

Her husband Yang Jiaan was from Dayangzhuang. His mother died early and he was the only son in the family, so before Gu Yonghe got married, there were only him and his father in his family.

His family's financial situation was similar to that of Gu Yonghe's mother's family. Both families could barely make ends meet and could not save much extra money, but they were not so poor that their families could not afford food or clothes.

Yang Jiaan is tall and strong, but he has a gentle personality and knows how to love his wife.

In addition, Gu Yonghe is not only smart and hardworking, but can do all kinds of work at home and outside, and she is also very filial to his old father. Therefore, since they got married, Yang Jiaan's principle of doing things has become "whatever my wife says is right."
