Chapter 808
808 What kind of life do I have?
On the 28th of the twelfth month, the third new year goods team stopped selling new year goods and concentrated on killing pigs at home.
Third aunt Gu didn’t come, and no one from her in-laws ‘house came either. The main reason was that she went back to her parents’ house on the second day of the new year. This round trip made her a little afraid of the cold, and she felt dizzy in the car.
Because the Gu family sold new year goods, many people in the village followed them to earn money, so many people came to help kill the pigs.
They didn’t even eat. They just went back after helping to kill the pigs and clean them up.
The Huo family’s two elders thought that the Gu family had always been on good terms with the village. They had no idea that in the past, it was only grandma Gu and her three sons who had been able to kill the pigs directly.
This year, the villagers had really earned a lot of money and were very enthusiastic.
Old master Huo stood at the door of the central room with his hands behind his back. He looked to the left and saw the pig’s blood, pig’s hair, and pig’s organs on the ground. Then, he looked to the right and saw the flowers and plants that brother ye had planted. They were very precious!
The Gu family was truly a magical existence!
Although old master Huo often fell sick for a few days because of his anger with old general Peng, he was only pretending to be sick. In fact, he was in good health.
In the afternoon, he also helped Grandpa Gu to pack up the meat.
The Gu sisters brought Huo Yanyu to the central room to eat sausages without the help of the adults.
The daughters-in-law of the younger generation cut and cured the meat.
Grandma Xiao and old Madam Huo started a fire and poured hot water.
On the other hand, grandma Gu was cutting the bones. She also had to make arrangements on how to distribute the bones. Her daughter would take one, the Huo family would take one, and the Zhou family would take one. As for the Li family, grandma Gu did not include them. She knew about Gu Nian and Li Muyan’s relationship, but she was not familiar with the Li family. They were her pigs, so why would she give them to people she was not familiar with?
If second brother and second brother’s wife wanted to give it to her, she could give it to them herself. Anyway, she would not share it with her.
The three Gu brothers brought Lu Zheng and Huo Junhao to the back of the mountain to chop and carry firewood. If they could finish chopping for a month, they would not need to go into the mountains to carry firewood during the first month of the lunar year.
In the evening, Gu Nian showed off her cooking skills again. The Huo family’s elders were completely satisfied with the food. The brothers and sisters even said that they liked sister niannian the most!
The family was happy and harmonious. Even with the addition of Lu Zheng, the three grandkids, and the four grandkids from the Huo family, there was no disharmony.
After the pigs were killed, it would be the last two days of the new Year’s goods.
Grandpa Gu announced that they would announce who was left and who lost on the 29th night.
The result was obvious. The child team was first, the mother team was second, and the Father team was third.
With the two spies, Lu Zheng and Huo Junhao, his father’s team would not be able to win even if they wanted to.
Uncle Gu glared at the two Rascals angrily. Even on New Year’s Eve, he still did not give them a good look.
Huo Yanyu used the money she earned to buy Five Golden Flowers. They were made of pure gold and exquisitely made. The Gu sisters loved them very much. They were the size of a pinky and each of them had their own names carved at the bottom.
She gave the rest of the money to old Mrs. Huo and old master Huo, ten taels each, to show that she had earned this money when she was ten years old, and that her grandparents should not complain that it was too little.
She also bought tea leaves for Grandpa Gu, a very beautiful forehead ribbon for grandma Gu and grandma Xiao, and gifts for the Zhang family, Cai family, Xiaolian family, and Yang family. She even had gifts for baby Gu Ren.
“Sister han, why didn’t you buy it for me?” Gu en was not happy.
Huo Yanyu looked at him and said, ” “To think that you’re still studying! If I buy it for you, it’s called private teaching! If people find out about this, they’ll force you to marry me. ”
Gu en replied,’didn’t you want to be my second uncle’s adopted daughter? Then we’re brother and sister!”
Huo Yanyu said,”if my brother is brother Yuan’s brother, then brother Yuan is also his adopted brother. Do you think I should give it to brother Yuan?” I say, brother en Zi, you can’t be so petty, understand? My brother doesn’t even have a present, and you still want one?”
Gu en: ” I’m so angry. I’m the only one in the whole family who doesn’t have any gifts. I’ve been working hard for a month and still have to pay money. What kind of life do I have? ”
