Chapter 31 New Year's Greetings
That night, the entire Gu family stayed up together in the old house to celebrate the New Year. This is the custom of Hebian Village. If the parents are still alive, the whole family must celebrate the New Year together.
Gu Yun is the youngest among the grandchildren of the Gu family, so there are no children making noise in the main hall. Everyone chatted while eating melon seeds, guessing whether Zhang Aihua was pregnant with a boy or a girl, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Gu Yun looked very warm. She had never celebrated the New Year in her previous life, let alone seen such a lively scene during the New Year. Every New Year's Eve, she and her grandparents were the only ones there. Her divorced parents each had a new family and would not care about her. They would just call and say hello. Her grandparents were old and in poor health, so they always went to bed early.
At this moment, she felt that she was very lucky. God sent her here, gave her such a good family, and let her meet You Ming.
Gu Yun smiled and watched the family who were watching the New Year's Eve in a lively manner. She felt indescribably warm in her heart.
But she still couldn't stay up until midnight to watch the New Year's Eve with her family. At around 11 o'clock, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, so she fell asleep on Liu Hehua's shoulder. Gu Yun was half asleep and half awake, and she could still feel someone covering her with something. Then she fell into a deep sleep with warmth all over her body.
On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, Gu Yun was awakened by the rooster's crowing at home.
She was stunned when she saw the bed curtain above her head.
She remembered that she clearly fell asleep on Liu Hehua's shoulder yesterday, so how did she wake up in her own bed? She had no idea when she came back.
Then she remembered that today was the first day of the Chinese New Year, and she had to follow Gu Jianguo to visit every household in the village in the morning, so she got up and dressed.
When Gu Yun dressed up and came to the main hall, she saw Gu Jianguo and Gu Xiang waiting in the main hall.
When the two saw her coming, they hurriedly called her to go and pay New Year's greetings.
The first place they went to was naturally the uncle's house next door. Gu Jianhua and Gu Shu had already gotten up and dressed, waiting for Gu Jianguo to come in the main hall.
Every year, the two brothers would go to visit the village together, and this year was no exception. After the two families got together, they went to other families.
When they came back from a round of the village, Gu Yun's pockets and hands were already filled with food.
She was beautiful and dressed well, and she was a bright sight when she stood at the door. A few more auspicious words made the hearts of the old ladies and aunties in the village melt. They praised Liu Hehua for raising her well and wished her good luck in the future. They also kept taking out melon seeds and peanuts to stuff into her hands.
Of course, Gu Xiang beside him could not be ignored. He looked at his hands full of melon seeds, peanuts and soybeans and smiled helplessly. He would be 18 after the Chinese New Year, so he didn't need to eat these snacks.
Look at the little sister who was chewing the soybeans given by Aunt Guihua happily. The aunties in the village clearly treated her as a child.
He shook his head and gave the snacks in his hand to Gu Yun.
