Chapter 487: The New Year Arrives

Gu Qingyao didn’t know what to say!

Lin Wanyin smiled even more amiably.

Her husband had already told her his plan, and she thought it was quite a good one.

For the rest of her life, she could not possibly acknowledge the daughter she had raised. As for her son, she did not know what had become of him. With her health, she didn’t have much time left. Wen Ruyu and Gu Chonghua’s granddaughter would be like their own granddaughter.

The girl had an affinity with them. In the past, they had traded with her to obtain a lot of food. She looked gentle, sweet and adorable, but she was probably very intelligent!

Also, any child raised in the Gu family would not be too bad.

An intelligent and filial young girl. She liked that!

In the future, if the girl could address her as ‘Grandma’, and be like a granddaughter to her, she would not have so many regrets.

She would give her whatever was left of the things she had hidden.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Grandma Guo, look at you! Don’t worry about anything else. It’s winter now, and there’s nothing else to do, so you should rest and take care of yourself. My grandparents are here, and they can take care of you.

“When you’re better, you can work in the fields when it’s spring and get some labor points. Then you can have a peaceful and stable life here. The brigade leader here is very good. You don’t need to worry.”

Of course, she would take good care of them, especially since they were old friends of her grandparents.

Lin Wanyin’s health was very poor, but if she was carefully nursed, she could still live a long time.

Gu Qingyao did not agree, so Lin Wanyin didn’t force her.

She had just arrived. How could the girl have any feelings towards her?

Snatching other people’s granddaughter was just a joke, but this girl was really likable, and she wanted to get to know her. If Gu Qingyao was willing to formally acknowledge them as god-grandparents, she would be very happy.

Lin Wanyin didn’t say anything else. She obediently ate the food and medicine that Gu Qingyao had brought. After arriving at the Qing River Brigade, her mood had improved with the good food, and she was not as depressed.

That afternoon, the Gu family cooked plenty of good food. Grandfather and Grandma were very happy, and now that they had met their old friends, they were even more delighted.

They had white rice for lunch, with some side dishes and a large pot of mutton soup.

It was so cold in winter, the soup would warm them up!

Everyone gathered to eat and chat. It was very lively. Gu Qingyao had a small appetite and barely ate anything. She mostly drank the mutton soup because she preferred this dish.

Gu Fangting, who was sitting next to her, did exactly the same thing.

At the moment, Gu Fangting was wearing the new clothes that Gu Qingyao had made for her. The material had been sent by Grandma Mo in the capital, and it was excellent.

Gu Qingyao had used it to make clothes for Gu Fangting.

It was a woolen material. It was snowing heavily these days, so of course it was cold. But the braziers in the house were all lit, and it was warm and cozy. When she drank the steaming hot mutton soup, she did not feel cold anymore.

It was lovely to wear new clothes. Since it was the new year, Gu Fangting had eagerly put them on.

The two cousins were very pretty. Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu smiled broadly to see them wearing their new clothes and sitting compliantly listening to the adults chatting!

When evening came, Gu Qingyao went over with mutton soup, some ginseng chicken soup that she had specially made, and the medicine for Grandfather and Grandma Guo.

She included a larger portion of mutton soup to warm up the old folks. As for the ginseng chicken soup, of course it was meant to nourish them.
