Chapter 254

254 Bitter heart

After hanging up the lanterns for the Gu family’s old mansion and the second branch, Zhou Yuan bid farewell to everyone and rode to town alone.

......

Ever since fourth uncle Gu became Yang family’s disciple, the father and daughter of the Yang family had almost every New Year’s Eve dinner at the Gu family.

The father and daughter usually went to the mountain to pay their respects to the dead on the 30th day and went to the temple to burn incense on the first day of the new year, so they didn’t go to the Gu family for lunch.

Not long after Lu Zheng left, the father and daughter of the Yang family returned. Yang xiaohuan tied the apron and went to help out in the kitchen.

Master yang, on the other hand, was chatting with the men of the Gu family in the central room. They talked about what had happened this year and the harvest.

With Gu Nian around, yang xiaohuan and Gu Hui were efficient and the New Year’s Eve dinner was ready very quickly.

In the modern world, Gu Nian had taken care of the family’s New Year’s Eve dinner every year since she came of age.

Not only did she know how to cook, but she also remembered all kinds of auspicious names clearly.

When luck is on your side, the main ingredients for a silver carp are fish head and tofu.

It was a great harvest. Fresh chestnuts and chicken legs.

The room was filled with gold and Jade, shrimp and eggs.

Year after year, there would be carp, pork, and white radish.

It was red braised ribs.

......

“Second brother, second brother’s wife, your daughter is too capable! Look at the dishes on the table. The names are nice and the dishes are pretty. I think they will be more delicious to eat!” Master yang asked in surprise as he listened to Gu Nian introduce the dishes one by one.

“Old Yang, this child is very obedient to his father and is used to thinking about these things. Do you remember when second was young? You even have to come up with a name for a bird’s nest or an egg.” Old master Gu chuckled.

“That’s true. When second was young, he was the most intelligent child in our village. He was also very beautiful, and everyone liked him!” Master yang nodded his head in agreement.

“Uncle yang, when you say” fresh,”you mean this girl is very fresh! Just look at second brother’s manly image, how is he so beautiful!” Uncle Gu said.

“Hahahaha Yingluo has grown up and is a man. When he was young, his second brother was really good-looking. Otherwise, why would second eldest’s wife chase after him for so many years and never leave him?” Master yang laughed out loud.

Gu shouxin thought,”alas, it’s a pity that it’s not as fresh now. I have to chase it.”

Cai Xiaolian: ” uncle, you have a strong desire to live. You know that 9000 years old doesn’t like people calling him feminine, so you immediately changed to calling him a man. Hehehehe.

“Come, come, come, let’s eat!” Grandma Gu asked everyone to start eating.

At such a happy time, with such a delicious table of food, even Zhang Shi, who was used to ruining the atmosphere, was focused on eating and talking happily.

The children ate quickly and left the table to play with firecrackers after they were full.

Gu en was playing like crazy and even brought Gu Xin and Gu si to the village to play with other friends.

Gu Hui and Gu Nian were worried about Gu en’s carefreeness, so they followed behind her.

“Sister Huihui, I think aunt xiaohuan will become our fourth uncle very soon! Don’t you think so?” Gu Nian said.

“Aunt Xiao Huan is quite good. I quite like her.” Gu Hui said.

“Hehe, fourth uncle is married, so it’s your turn in our family. At that time, Grandpa and Grandma will help first aunt urge you to get married.” Gu Nian gloated.

“Don’t be so smug. I’m married, so it’s your turn now. If I were to get married next year, your scholar would probably still be studying hard at the school!” Gu Hui retorted.

“Who said I must find a scholar who studied hard? I can also find a shuanghuandhu! Besides, my parents don’t rush me. ” Gu Nian said smugly.

Gu Hui’s heart was bitter!

It would be great if her mother cared about her daughter half as much as her second aunt did.
