276 New Year (1)

With the arrival of everyone from the Gu family, the Shi family became even more lively.

They would buy firecrackers and fireworks.

The children had already started playing. The little firecrackers that the children played with were thrown to the ground one by one. Then, the sound of the firecrackers hitting the ground shocked some passersby, but the children were having a lot of fun.

This kind of fun was only available in the countryside.

!!

Firecrackers were not allowed in the city; this applied to small firecrackers played by children.

There were high-rise buildings everywhere in the big city, and the space was small. Even if one went out to the park, it was still a public place. Playing with such dangerous firecrackers was forbidden. In winter, it was dry and a fire could result.

However, Gu Qingming’s family had a villa, and the backyard alone was a few thousand square meters. If she wanted to play with such small firecrackers, it was fine as long as she did not disturb her next-door neighbor.

When she was young, Gu Qingming followed her parents to Stoneback Village and played with her cousins in the village. When she saw her friends in the village playing with these small firecrackers, she was surprised at first and felt that it was quite fun. Then, her cousins brought her to play with these small firecrackers.

However, after playing in the village for a while, she was not satisfied at all. She asked her cousin to go to the small shop in the village to buy a few boxes. Then, she returned home and played in the back garden.

At first, her parents didn’t know that she played with such small firecrackers, and the nanny and bodyguards at home wouldn’t complain about their young master. It was only later that the neighbors came looking for them and said they heard those banging sounds. They thought that something had happened and came over to take a look. Only then did her parents know that Gu Qingming had brought back such small firecrackers to play with.

There were also children in the neighbor’s house. When they knew that Gu Qingming was playing with such firecrackers, they immediately became interested and played with her. Hence, throughout the Spring Festival, the backyard of the two villas made small firecracker sounds.

It could be said that Gu Qingming’s childhood was still very beautiful.

The Gu family doted on her like a treasure and allowed her to do as she pleased. As long as she was safe and was sensible, she could do whatever she wanted.

However, when she grew up, she stopped playing with little firecrackers.

Now that she was celebrating the new year in the countryside and seeing this long-awaited atmosphere, Gu Qingming’s heart surged.

She wanted to play with these little firecrackers.

However, when she picked up the small box of firecrackers, Grandma Shi immediately stopped her. “Ming’er, you’re still a child. Why are you playing with firecrackers? Besides, you’re still pregnant. Don’t scare the child.”

Seeing the little firecrackers being taken away by her grandmother, Gu Qingming’s eyes were filled with reluctance.

However, she had to listen to the empress dowager’s imperial edict!

After the Gu family arrived, they began to distribute the gifts. Other than gifts from their own family, there were also gifts from Eldest Granduncle’s family and Little Granduncle’s family. There were also gifts from some relatives and friends. Therefore, even the gifts from two trucks did not seem to be enough to distribute.

Fortunately, the gift was light, but the friendship was heavyThe gifts from the Gu family were very precious to the countryside!

There were health supplements for elders, a box of tea leaves or a bottle of high-end wine for men, bags or cosmetics for women, and snacks and toys for children.

These things were worth a lot of money.

There was no comparison to this pair since most who went to their relatives and friends’ houses in the countryside bought milk and fruits.

Moreover, the Gu family did not only give gifts to every family. Instead, they gave each person a gift. From the old to the young, when the family received gifts from the Gu family, it was thousands of dollars. There were many people in the family, and the gifts were more than 10,000 dollars.

Shi Yashu had married a rich man and had never forgotten their kindness.

She had always remembered those who had helped her before and would buy them some gifts every year.

With the arrival of the Gu Clan, the Shi Clan became even more lively.

Eldest Granduncle, Little Granduncle, and the other elders had also been accompanying Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.

Shi Yashu was the only girl in the three generations of the Shi family and had been doted on since she was young. Later on, when she gave birth to a daughter, this love was extended to Gu Qingming.

However, Gu Qingming was rarely here in the past; she would always come and go in a hurry during the New Year!

Even if they wanted to dote on her, they couldn’t find her.

Now that Gu Qingming had lived here for half a year, the elders were very happy and could care about her.

Knowing that she liked to eat all kinds of snacks from the countryside, they would get their daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to prepare them. After they were done, when Gu Qingming came over to play, they would get them for her or send them directly to the Shi family.

After knowing that Gu Qingming had been insulted, they were all agitated and went forward to support her.

No one could bully a girl from the Shi family.

…

This New Year was a time of reunion for the Shi family.

In the past, only Gu Jianguo and his wife would bring their children over for the new year. However, in recent years, only the couple had come over. The children did not come. As for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, this was the first time they had celebrated the new year with the Shi family this year.

Grandma Gu stood in the courtyard and looked at the Shi family. For the New Year’s Eve dinner, they were busy killing chickens and geese. The children were wearing beautiful and festive clothes and went out to play happily.

“Xuanxuan, Haohao, don’t play with firecrackers,” Eldest Aunt instructed loudly when she saw the two children running out.

“Got it, grandma!”

Rural people were very unrestrained about keeping their children at home. The children usually ran to the village to play with other children until it was mealtime and were brought back by the adults for dinner.

There was no such fun in the big city.

“Aiya, Eldest Uncle, is this goose so big?” Grandma Gu looked at Shi Lichun, who was killing the goose, and asked curiously, “How much weight is it?”

Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “It weighs more than ten catties. I raised it myself. I’ve been raising it for almost a year.”

“This goose looks chubby. No wonder it’s heavy.” Grandma Gu chuckled. “I’ve only eaten geese in the past, but I’ve never seen a goose. Now I’ve seen one at your house!”

Grandpa Gu nodded and smiled. “Yes, it’s bound to be delicious when you raised it yourself!”

He had eaten delicacies from all over the world, but he still felt that the in-laws’ food was the best. Even his own food was not so fragrant.

Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “Then Grandpa will have to eat a few more pieces tonight.”

Grandpa Gu nodded and said, “That’s for sure. How are we going to make the goose today? Braised goose?”

Eldest Uncle smiled and said, “Yes, it’s stewed goose with sour bamboo shoots!”

“Okay, okay. Stewed goose with sour bamboo shoots is delicious!” Grandpa Gu said excitedly. “I haven’t eaten this dish in a long time. I want to eat it tonight!”

Grandma Gu smiled and said, “If you eat too much at night, you’ll have indigestion.”

...

Grandpa Gu waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. I brought some digestive tablets!”

Gu Qingming was speechless.

She did not know her Grandpa could be such a glutton!

She remembered that her grandfather hated taking those pills the most. This time, for the sake of food, he actually took the initiative to bring digestive pills.
