1216 A pork trotter dish
....
By the time the couple got home, Meng Meng had already pasted couplets on all the doors of the Yamen. Red lanterns were hung at the front and back doors.
“Second uncle, second aunt, you’re back!” Meng Meng took the rice milk and asked, ” second aunt, do you have any news about Huihui and Pengze? ”
“Let’s go back and talk!” Cai Xiaolian nodded.
She was going to the Peng family to give them gifts today and to ask if there was any news of Gu Hui. Coincidentally, the Navy came to the manor to deliver a letter and she met them.
After returning to the house, Cai Xiaolian told everyone the news she had received. Gu Hui and the other two had already entered the capital of the G.o.ddess Kingdom and found Pengze. They were very safe and there would be no danger, so everyone could rest a.s.sured.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.
Even though everyone was busy with work every day, they did not forget that Gu Hui was still outside. The Peng family was also in a jubilant mood.
In the afternoon, at the Gu family’s ancestral wors.h.i.+p.
When they came here before, they already knew that they would have to stay here for three to five years. So, when they arrived last year, they built an ancestral hall. Even if they couldn’t go back to visit the graves, they had to pay respects to their ancestors.
Gu shouxin had sent people to hang the Gu family’s Cemetery in Fuzhou at the crossroads Village, so there would also be people to take care of the cemetery there.
There were two new children in the Gu family this year, and Grandpa Gu had already recorded their names in the genealogy.
Since the Gu family had the same surname as grandma Gu, their family was different from other families. The women did not enter the ancestral hall, but all the descendants in their family had to enter the ancestral hall to pay their respects to the ancestors and eat the fruit of fortune.
It was said that this child would not get sick after eating the fruit of wors.h.i.+p.
After paying their respects to the ancestors, it was almost dark. Gu shouxin asked someone to light firecrackers and then began to eat.
As Gu Nian listened to the sound of the firecrackers, an idea suddenly popped into her mind. Should she create firecrackers and fireworks next year?
Ren Ren said that his settings were only for cold weapons, and there were no hot weapons. Then, she wouldn’t mess up the rules of this world with firecrackers and fireworks, right?
As for whether or not the Emperor would get more military equipment from this, it would depend on the Emperor.
Gu Nian felt that this was a good idea and included it in his plan for the following year.
There were many people from the Gu family, including grandma Xiao, Lu Zheng, and the others. They sat at three tables, not to mention the tables set up by the servants in the kitchen.
As the head of the family, Grandpa and Grandma Gu raised their gla.s.ses and said some auspicious words before dinner. Except for little seven and little eight, who were still drinking milk, the others, including Gu Ren, raised their gla.s.ses and drank.
Of course, the girls and Gu en and Gu Ren were drinking fresh fruit juice made from the fruits that their uncle had brought back.
After this gla.s.s, everyone began to eat.
The Round Table was designed by Cai Xiaolian, and it could slide. Uncle Gu wanted to eat pig trotters, so when no one was taking food, he would slide the table in front of him.
Zhang s.h.i.+ suddenly felt bored. She clearly liked to eat pig’s trotters in the past, but she didn’t want to eat them during the new year?
“Swis.h.!.+” Unable to hold it in, Madam Zhang retched.
“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?” Cai Xiaolian, who was sitting next to her, quickly slid the table in front of her.
“Swis.h.!.+” Cai Xiaolian also suddenly felt nauseated. She looked at the plate of pig trotters in surprise.
“Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don’t tell me you two already have one? I’m … Yang s.h.i.+, who was sitting next to Cai Xiaolian, turned the table as she spoke. Before she could finish her words, she felt a familiar nauseating sensation.
The three of them looked at each other with their mouths half open.
