277 New Year 2

On New Year’s Eve, every family slaughtered chickens and ducks. They gathered nine bowls, arranged the plates, and worshipped the ancestral hall. They worshiped the stove master and the God of Wealth. Every time, they would set off firecrackers and fireworks. It was very lively during this time.

This was the first time Gu Qingming had seen the hustle and bustle of the countryside during the New Year.

This was the real New Year!

The New Year in the big city was quiet. There were not even fireworks. At night, the only event was eating dumplings at the Spring Festival Gala. After the New Year’sEve, it would be New Year.

He had happily prepared for the entire day just for this round reunion dinner tonight!

According to the rules of Stoneback Village, before this New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone would take a shower and wear new clothes to represent their departure from the old and welcome the new.

This time, the Shi family had all gathered together. The two cousins who had gone overseas to attend university returned yesterday.

The Gu family was complete.

The Gu family’s lineage had been passed down for five generations. The collateral branches had long produced five family branches. However, some connections still existed.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, during the Gu family’s ancestral worship, the collateral branches of the Gu family from all over the country would visit the Gu family’s old residence. Then, they would worship their ancestors together.

This New Year was a time of true reunion for Gu Qingming. She was surrounded by her closest family.

This time, there were many people. They set up three big tables at Eldest Uncle’s house and invited Eldest Grandpa, Little Grandpa, Little Grandma, and a few elders over.

The elders of the same age were really happy this time.

Ever since Shi Yashu, the family’s favorite, got married, she only came back once or twice a year. The elders in the family were unhappy with the development.

It was as if their little cabbage had been snared by a pig. They felt stifled.

However, the only precious daughter of the Shi family was married to a good family and was living a blissful life. They felt they could not lock her up in her maiden home.

This year was different.

Shi Yashu did not stay at her mother’s house, but her daughter stayed with them for more than half a year. These elders of the Shi family could continue to dote on this girl who was related to them by blood.

“Shu girl, I’m really happy today!” After drinking two glasses, Eldest Granduncle became more talkative. “Do you know that the happiest time I was before this was when you were born? In the third generation of the Shi family, there were a lot of sons and grandsons, but there was no girl. In your generation, we finally saw the birth of the only princess of the Shi family. You don’t know how happy our family was back then, especially your grandfather and grandmother. They always thought that our Shi family wouldn’t have a daughter, but you were born. It made the entire Shi family excited.”

Little Grandpa also nodded and said, “You don’t know, but back then, during your one-month-old celebration, we held a banquet in the village for three days. There were also people from the surrounding villages who came to eat to celebrate!”

The Shi family had been around since Shi Yashu’s great-grandfather’s generation. They had some real estate. Therefore, although the Shi family had many descendants, they were not poor. When young people came of age, they could get married without worrying about betrothal gifts.

The families in the surrounding villages were all willing to marry their daughters into the Shi family. The main reason was that not only did they not have to worry about food and clothing after marrying into the Shi family, but they could also ensure that they could give birth to a son and ensure their status in the Shi family. Even if they gave birth to a daughter, they would not have to worry about it. If they gave birth to a daughter, their status would be higher.

The Gu Family had five generations, but the Shi Family had six generations. There was a strong progeny of men, and there was a long list of sons and grandsons. It was not until the fourth generation, Shi Lichun’s generation, that Shi Yashu appeared.

Therefore, the Shi Family pampered Shi Yashu like a real princess.

From her grandparents to her youngest uncle and eldest brother, she had been pampered to the point of being lawless. If Lai Jiaoying, her mother, had not been a bad cop and corrected Shi Yashu’s bad habits, Shi Yashu would definitely have gone astray.

As a result, Shi Yashu had been quarreling with her mother ever since she was young. Even after she got married and her child grew up, she was still used to quarreling with her mother.

Shi Yashu had always known that her mother would hit and scold her sometimes for her own good. She loved her very much. However, arguing with her mother had become a habit and their way of life.

“When you were born, we thought that you would be a boy. We prepared everything according to the boy’s preference because no one expected you to be a girl. Who knew that you were really a girl?” The little grandma smiled and said, “So we prepared the girl’s things overnight. Pink clothes, pink shoes, pink bed. Other than the diapers that needed pure white cotton, everything was pink.”

To them, boys had to have blue items while the girls were assigned to pink!

Gu Qingming knew that her mother was doted on when she was young, but this was the first time she had really heard of how much her mother was doted on.

It was wonder her mother had such a temper. It was fine if she wasn’t angry, but when she was angry, it was earth-shattering. It turned out that she was spoiled.

“Time really flies! The little princess who was pampered by her family back then is about to become a grandmother!” The little grandma sighed. “But we have one foot in the soil!”

Shi Yaoqing immediately said, “Little grandma, you guys will definitely live to a hundred years old. You can still live for a few more decades!”

“That’s right. All of you will live to a hundred years old!” The group of juniors immediately said.

The Shi family was very united. Without the troubles of the other sisters-in-law, they were in a good mood and would definitely live to a ripe old age.

“Shu girl, you’ve married into a good family. Look, your in-laws are all kind people. Your husband dotes on you, and your children are obedient,” said Eldest Granduncle. “As long as you’re doing well, we can rest assured. Even if we have to meet your grandparents, we can smile and tell them that you’re doing well.”

Before the two elders died, they were most worried about their only granddaughter. They wanted to see her grow up safely, get married and have children, and live happily ever after!

However, in that era, there was an accident in the family and both husband and wife passed away.

Before they closed their eyes, they kept talking about this granddaughter who was in university. They couldn’t wait for her to return.

The main thing was that communication was not developed at that time. It would take a long time to get a message through to its recipient. The old couple were waiting for their only granddaughter to come back and send them off for the last time.

Speaking of her grandparents, it was also a regret that Shi Yashu had always felt! She did not see them for the last time and only sent them on their last journey.

“Shu girl, seeing you live a good and happy life is our greatest wish.” Little Grandpa’s eyes were red as he said, “Now that this wish has been fulfilled, we have nothing to regret.”

At this point, he looked at Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu and said sincerely, “Grandma, Grandpa, thank you for being tolerant of my Shu.”

Grandma Gu smiled and said, “Shu’er is my daughter-in-law. We will definitely love her like our own daughter. We don’t have a daughter in our family. Shu’er is my daughter.”
