1953 She’s eating again
....
Cheng huaijin was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, ” “Then I’ll tell you my expectations for the future! “I hope that my family can be safe and healthy. I hope that they will have less troubles and more things to worry about. I hope that the friendly relations.h.i.+p between the great Zhou and the western lands can continue. I hope that when I bring Brother Yun back to the West, he can adapt smoothly and grow up healthily.”
He didn’t talk about the past, only the future.
The Gu family had expressed that his wish would definitely come true.
After Cheng huaijin, it was Gu Xin, then Gu en, Gu si, Gu yingxue, and Gu Ren.
Not long after Gu Ren finished speaking, he could not take it anymore and fell asleep on the table. Uncle Gu asked the servant boy to carry him back to his room to sleep.
Gu shouxin asked the other children, and they said that they could still hold on.
Thus, everyone continued to chat, talking about everything.
Gu en and Cheng huaijin went outside to set off firecrackers at the main entrance.
It was released at midnight and once at Mao.
After the firecrackers were set off, Grandpa Gu and grandma Gu were up.
Grandma Gu went to the kitchen to make tangyuans while Grandpa Gu helped her.
Every year, it was the two of them who made it. There was a custom at the crossroads Village, which was to eat tangyuans on the morning of the first day of the new year. This way, they could have a full meal for the whole year.
The cook helped to start the fire, and the two old men did the rest by themselves.
There were quite a lot of people in the Gu family. Grandpa Gu had wrapped three copper coins in the tangyuans and had only wrapped them in them after they were rinsed with boiling water.
When it was done, each of them took a bowl and chose their own.
Unfortunately, Gu Xin ate three of them at once.
Each of them ate three, but her bowl only had copper coins and no core. She was a little depressed. “Grandpa, if you made two in the past, I could even eat one with a core! If you make three now, I won’t even be able to eat a single one with a core!”
“That means you’re lucky!” Grandpa Gu laughed out loud. If you want to eat something with a core, then eat another one! But you can only eat one. You can’t eat more, or else it’ll be bad for digestion!”
Gu Xin ate another one.
After eating the tangyuans and giving their well wishes, the few people who were on night duty went to catch up on sleep.
After Cai Xiaolian returned to her room, she said to Gu shouxin, ” it seems that only when Xinxin gets married can our tangyuan copper coins be eaten by others.
Gu shouxin smiled. Indeed, their Xinxin’s luck was really not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The couple lay down, closed their eyes, and began to catch up on sleep.
They slept all the way until noon, and the little fellows had already started to wake their parents up for lunch.
Big brother Yun was the happiest because he could wake his uncle up for lunch this year, even though he was alone.
He had called for his uncle and wanted to bring him to call Aunt Xue ‘er for lunch. This way, he would be like Xiao Qi and Xiao BA, calling for two people. Although they were not father and mother, Brother Yun was very happy.
After a Good Morning’s sleep, everyone was still in good spirits.
It was usually a short walk from the capital to the Xiangguo Temple, but today was the first day of the new year, so there were many people going to the Xiangguo Temple. Fortunately, they had eaten lunch before leaving and did not encounter the traffic jam in the morning, but it still took them two hours to get there.
The Peng family, Xue family, Prince Kang’s residence, grandma Xiao, Grandpa Zhou, Lu Zheng, and Lu Xue were already at the Xiangguo Temple. They had arrived in the morning and even had lunch there.
