"Or learn a foreign language. Now the country also lacks foreign language talents." Guo Xiang added.
This period is actually a good period. The country is short of people everywhere. As long as college students are very popular, they can be put in great use anywhere.
Gu Zhendong nodded, "I'll think about it."
It was getting dark. Wang Guiying shouted outside, "you can eat!"
Gu Zhennan went to the kitchen with them to bring the prepared dishes to the hall and put the brazier under the table so that it wouldn't be cold when eating.
Everyone sat down together. Wang Guiying also warmed a pot of wine and came over.
Looking at the dishes on the table, everyone looked happy.
"Zhennan, go set off firecrackers and have new year's dinner!" Wang Guiying said.
"Hey." Gu Zhennan answered and took the firecrackers prepared by Wang Guiying to the door to set off.
It's necessary to set off firecrackers for new year's Eve dinner.
Firecrackers crackled and the red scraps of paper exploded red, which also indicates the prosperity of the future.
When Gu Zhennan came in, Wang Guiying stood up and poured wine for everyone. First, she poured a cup for Ji Changlin, and then looked at Gu Zhennan. "Zhennan, drink some too?"
She knew that her eldest son was not good at drinking, and she didn't dare to force it.
Gu Zhennan nodded, "drink a little."
Guo Xiang kicked him at his feet. How dare he drink just because of his drinking capacity? Don't drink and go crazy.
Gu Zhennan looked at her and whispered, "just drink a little. I know."
Drink some wine to strengthen your courage. Wait for the evening
"Xiangxiang also drink some?" Wang Guiying looked at Guo Xiang and nodded, "then drink some."
Wang Guiying smiled, but her daughter-in-law was unambiguous. It seemed that she could drink.
Gu Zhendong and Guo'er didn't pour wine for them. They were still children and couldn't drink. Then they poured some for themselves.
Guo Xiang raised his glass. "It's the new year. Let's have a drink together. I wish the future better!"
Ji Changlin and Wang Guiying smiled. Everyone raised their glasses and did something. Guo Xiang glanced at Gu Zhennan. Seeing that he only sipped a little, he didn't say a word.
Then Guo Xiang respected Ji Changlin and thanked him for his teaching.
He stood up again and said to Wang Guiying, "Mom, I'd like to toast you too. You're in charge of this family. You've worked hard!"
Gu Zhennan also stood up and picked up the cup.
Wang Guiying's eyes are a little red. She has worked hard all her life. Now life is finally better. Her son and daughter-in-law are so filial. She feels that her life has not been in vain.
"It's not hard, it should be. You are all good children! " Wang Guiying nodded and drank.
Gu Zhennan took a sip and watched Guo Xiang drink a cup. He thought his daughter-in-law had a good drink.
Guo Xiang looked at him. His face was red. He should have drunk.
People who can't drink are like this. They lack an enzyme in their body and can't decompose alcohol. When alcohol enters the blood, it is easy to blush as soon as the blood circulates. Some people even have allergies and rashes.
"Drink less." Guo Xiang whispered.
"Yes." Gu Zhennan should say.
"Come on, Dr. Ji, eat!" Wang Guiying greets Ji Changlin.
"OK, OK, I'll do it myself. Don't be so polite." Ji Changlin nodded.
Everyone started to eat vegetables. Every time they ate a dish, they exclaimed that it was delicious. They had never had such a good year before. It was so happy.
The family had a happy New Year's Eve dinner.
After dinner, Gu Zhennan helped clean up and asked Guo Xiang to take a bath first. He must take a bath during the new year to wash away the bad luck of previous years and welcome the new year with a new attitude.
Wang Guiying burned a lot of hot water and everyone took turns to wash it.
There was no TV at home. Guo Xiang went back to his room after washing.
It was very cold in the room. Gu Zhennan took a brazier, burned charcoal, put it by the bed, and opened a window for ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
After Gu Zhennan finished washing, he roasted by the brazier for a while before going to bed.
Guo Xiang was reading a book when he came up and said, "finished washing?"
"Yes." Gu Zhennan nodded, sat down next to Guo Xiang, took her hand and gently shouted, "daughter-in-law..."
Guo Xiang looked at him with his heart beating.
……
The next day Guo Xiang woke up with a knock on the door.
"Sister in law, sister in law, have dinner!" The sound of Guo'er sounded outside the door.
Guo Xiang sat up and ate? What time is it now?
"Come in." Guo Xiang answered and dressed.
"Sister in law." Guo'er pushed the door in his new clothes. It was funny to see Guo Xiang still bleary eyed. "Sister-in-law, you can really sleep. It's twelve o'clock. It's time for lunch."
"Ah? It's twelve o'clock? " Guo Xiang panicked. He slept too late. Today is the first day of the new year. Gu Zhennan didn't call himself.
"Where's your big brother?" Asked Guo Xiang.
"He went to pay New Year's greetings with his second brother." Guo Er chuckled. "When the eldest brother went out, he said that his sister-in-law was hard. Let's not call you and let you sleep. Who knows that you can really sleep, sister-in-law."
Guo Xiang blushed. The man said it was hard. It was misunderstood.
"New Year's day today? Isn't it usually the second day? " Guo Xiang said as he dressed.
"On the first day of junior high school, we usually go to the family elders in the village to visit the elderly and have a chat. In the next few days, we officially go to relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings. But big brother said you would take two days off, so go earlier. " Guo'er said.
"Then why didn't he call me? Don't the new daughter-in-law go to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings? " Guo Xiang complained softly.
"Isn't that big brother doesn't want to make you tired?" Guo'er covered his mouth and smiled, "but no one in the village doesn't know his sister-in-law. Brother said it doesn't matter."
"OK, you go and tell your mother first. I'll come right after washing." Guo Xiang said.
Wearing a newly bought gray woolen coat with a white sweater and wide leg pants, I originally bought a wool skirt, but the weather is too cold, and I think it's a little out of place not to wear so foreign in the countryside. I'm high-profile enough.
After washing, only Wang Guiying and Guo'er are in the living room. Gu Zhennan and Gu Zhendong should be left for dinner.
"Mother, happy New Year!" Guo Xiang said, took a red envelope to Guo Er, "Guo Er, the lucky money your sister-in-law gave you."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Guo'er was so happy that her sister-in-law gave back the lucky money. It's very kind of her sister-in-law!
And the clothes my sister-in-law wears are really beautiful. "My sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
Guo Xiang smiled, "our fruit is also beautiful."
"I'll just give the children's family any lucky money." Wang Guiying said.
"It's all right. A little to make the children happy." Guo Xiang smiled.
He took another red envelope and handed it to Wang Guiying. "Mom, this is for you."
"I don't want it. I gave it to Zhennan." Wang Guiying waved her hand.
"He is him. This is mine. I made some money in business. This is what my daughter-in-law respects you." Guo Xiang smiled.
"Mom, take what your sister-in-law gave you. If the mother-in-law of others doesn't give it to her daughter-in-law, you can steal it." Guo Er smiles.
"Just talk!" Wang Guiying scolded, but she was full of joy. Her daughter-in-law was naturally happy to be filial to her.
