Chapter 35: Celebrating New Year at Hometown

As the year is coming to an end, it is urgent to prepare for the New Year. That is why the New Year atmosphere is particularly strong.

Gu Li bought a large number of New Year goods in a few consecutive days, and then on the 25th, she brought things back to her mother's house to deliver the New Year goods.

The money her brother spent on leg treatment last time is still in her pocket, and her mother really doesn't have that much savings now.

Of course, even if she has it, she may not be able to buy things, especially eggs and fish.

She brought five kilograms of eggs, a chicken, a few fat fish, a few kilograms of meat, and ten kilograms of white flour, so that she can have something good to eat during the New Year.

Gu Guodong was called to help carry these things. Seeing so many good things, Gu's father looked particularly happy.

If it had been before, Gu's mother would have been happy too, but now she couldn't help but said to her daughter, "I told you not to take so many things. You are a married daughter. Our Gu family is not without men. Why do you need to support your parents so much? I will leave you a pound of eggs, and you can take the rest back to Wenhong and Dabao and Erbao to eat!"

Gu's father opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. Gu Guodong was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to move. Now he has no status in the family.

"Mom, I'm really happy that you care about me so much now." Gu Li held her mother's hand, "In the past, when I brought things back, you were just unhappy because it was too little. Now I honor you, and you know how hard it is for me."

Mother Gu couldn't help but feel guilty again, "It was my fault before, but now I've figured it out. I don't need you married daughters to give me so much. I'm satisfied as long as you live well!"

"Mom, your hands are so cold. Did you not pour hot water when washing clothes?" Gu Li showed her concern.

"Now I wash the clothes." Gu Guodong said softly.

Gu Li gave him a look of praise, which made Gu Guodong feel a little happy.

"Then why are your hands so cold?" said Gu Li.

Gu's mother didn't care, "It's an old problem. My legs and feet are cold in winter. It's no big deal."

"Why is it not a big deal? You are my only mother. Is it a big deal if your hands and feet are cold? I have dates and brown sugar at home. I'll bring them to you when I have time. There are also ginger slices and moxa bags. Soak your feet every day. It will be very good for your cold hands and feet." Gu Li said.

"Mom knows you are filial, but keep it for your mother-in-law. Mom can still bear it." As Gu's mother said this, she pulled her daughter into the room to talk. She was really comforted. It's good to have a daughter. Someone cares about her. What do those two grandfathers outside care about her?

He only cares about whether her rice is ready or not. How can she know whether it is hot or cold? Just ignore his son's laundry.

"Look, these are the clothes that mom made for Dabao and Erbao. If you take Dabao and Erbao back to wear, they will treat them as the new clothes I gave them for the New Year. They are all made and washed." Gu's mother took out the clothes she had made for her two grandsons.

"Mom, do you still have cloth tickets?" Gu Li was surprised.

"Originally, I saved some for your brother to make two new ones, but now forget it, I made one for Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaoyue Xiaoxing to wear during the New Year." Gu's mother has now used up the cloth coupons left for her precious son, and there is no pressure at all.
