Road to Rebirth

Chapter 95
Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Gu Ruhai woke up, awakened by the sound of firecrackers.

His head was still a little dizzy, but he didn't have a hangover headache. Seeing him wake up, Li Xuemei asked concerned: "How is it? Does it still hurt?"

This Gu Ruhai was probably drunk for the first time in his life.

In the past, the family couldn't even eat enough to eat, so how could they have spare money to buy wine and drink? That is, during the holidays, the New Year's Eve dinner at Mr. Gu's house, the little shochu was wrapped up by Gu Rushan, Gu Ruhe and Mr. Gu. , how could it be Gu Ruhai's part.

Gu Ruhai lifted the quilt embarrassingly, "It's okay, the firecrackers in our house haven't been set off yet, I drank too much yesterday, did the children laugh at me?"

This New Year's Eve at twelve o'clock in the evening is going to be poor, and I passed out drunk, and the family must have not let it go, so Gu Ruhai hurriedly got up, cleaned up, and was ready to set off the cannon.

Believe it all year.

Li Xuemei smiled and pulled Gu Ruhai, "Last night, Xiaoqing took Xiaojie and Xiaoying and let him go, waiting for you, our family will..."

It's hard to say the following words. On the first day of the new year, it's not good to say bad things, and it's not good to say unlucky things.

Gu Ruhai laughed out loud.

Our children have all grown up.

After the couple cleaned up, Gu Xiaojie was still lying in bed. Firecrackers were set off at twelve o'clock last night, and he was so excited that he didn't sleep. Gu Xiaojie fell asleep almost at dawn, and now there is thunder in his ears. This guy Can't seem to wake up either.

The voices of Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying came from outside: "Mom and Dad, we are here to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Ruhai greeted: "Come in quickly."

The two daughters cleaned everything up. The padded jackets were newly made this year. Because the girls cherished them, they looked brand new at the moment. They were tied into two braids, and the braids were tied with bows with red strings. Gu Xiaoying and Gu Xiaoqing and Both flowers are equally beautiful.

Gu Xiaoqing didn't want to dress up like this at first, it's too rustic.But I couldn't bear it, this was a popular dress in the past two years, and Gu Xiaoying was rare, so I had to reluctantly be fiddled with by Gu Xiaoying for a long time.

"Mom and Dad, Happy Chinese New Year. I wish our family's business a prosperous future and a wealth of wealth. I wish my parents good health and a happy heart."

Gu Xiaoqing spoke auspicious words.

Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai were both cheerful. This child's mouth is getting better and better. Seeing the auspicious words hopped out one after another, everyone who listens feels very comfortable.

Gu Ruhai took out three brand-new one-dollar bills from his pocket. These were some brand-new banknotes specially exchanged by the couple at the market a few years ago, just to give the children lucky money for the festival.

One handed one.

Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying put it away happily.

At this time, the New Year's money in the village is only [-] cents or [-] cents, and this fifty cents is a huge sum of money. No one would pamper their children like this. It was just for the sake of face that the rich people gave it like this.

A confused voice came from behind Gu Ruhai: "Mom and Dad, what about mine? Don't be biased."

Gu Xiaojie, a sleepy guy, would get up as soon as he gurgled because of the strong attraction of the new year's money. His whole body was wrapped in a quilt, like a chubby bear.

It made the four of them stand in the room and lean forward and back together happily.

The eyes are not fully opened yet, and the gums are still hanging in the corners of the eyes, so I am thinking about the New Year's money.

Gu Ruhai said bluntly: "You didn't even give me New Year's greetings, so where is the New Year's money?"

Gu Xiaojie immediately said to Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei on the kang, "Mom and Dad, Happy Chinese New Year."

Then he stretched out a pair of small fleshy hands, and those two dark eyes stared at the dollar in Gu Ruhai's hand.

That's waiting to be given.

Gu Ruhai was so rare, he handed over the money in his hand.

"I will go to school in the next year. Don't be so naughty anymore. Learn from your second sister, earn some money for Dad, and pass the college entrance examination. Do you know the boy!"

Gu Xiaojie nodded repeatedly, as if he didn't listen carefully to what Gu Ruhai said.

Li Xuemei also took out three one-dollar bills.

The three children are all overjoyed.

Generally, the families are not rich, and most of them are given by Gu Ruhai, which is the lucky money given by the husband and wife together.

This is the first time this year has happened.

Three people, two standing on the ground and one standing on the bed, said auspicious words to Li Xuemei: "Mom, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Li Xuemei smiled from ear to ear, the three children are her heart and soul.

This day is not just a child.

Smiling, one person and one piece.

"You are all grown up, you have to take care of each other in the future, be filial to your parents, love your family, study hard, do you hear me?"

The three nodded and put all the money into their pockets.

It's two yuan each.

Li Xuemei cooked a pot of dumplings early in the morning, and made them overnight last night.

Otherwise, I can't eat steamed buns in the morning.

The whole family ate the dumplings warmly.

Gu Xiaoqing took one bite, and with a click, she bit out a steel coin. Li Xuemei's dumplings this year were all two-cent steel coins, all of which were clean coins, a total of three.

Taking it out with his hands and putting it on the table, Gu Xiaojie was not calm at first, and started to eat the dumplings mouthful, wishing he could eat a steel coin right away.

Li Xuemei could only smile and said: "Xiaojie, I don't want to eat like this, I can't bear my appetite."

Over there, Gu Ruhai took a gulp and spit out a steel coin. This time, Gu Xiaojie was really anxious.

There is only the last one left. If I can't eat it, what should I do?

In the cold weather, Gu Xiaojie broke out in a cold sweat.

I feel like crying.

Gu Xiaoqing took a pat on Gu Xiaojie and said, "A man, you will be six years old soon after this year, and you don't have to worry about Zhang Zijie seeing a joke on you, isn't it just a joy. Come on, I'll help you make dumplings and keep them safe for you to eat." A forge."

Gu Xiaojie immediately rubbed his eyes in embarrassment, and grinned, "Second sister, I'm a man, I'm just in a hurry, I, I grow up, and I will protect you and eldest sister, as well as our parents .”

That bold statement made Li Xuemei and the others laugh.

It's really a joke that such a small height still protects them.

Gu Xiaoqing took a dumpling from the plate and gave it to Gu Xiaojie, Gu Xiaojie took a bite shyly, and there was a crisp sound of small teeth.

Gu Xiaojie jumped so high.

He took out a steel coin from his mouth, and said cheerfully to Li Xuemei, "Mom, I am also enjoying my blessing."

Li Xuemei smiled lovingly and said: "Well, you are also a lucky one, sit down and eat well."

"I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going to find Zhang Zijie and pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Zhang."

Gu Xiaojie had already eaten a full stomach of dumplings, all because of this steel forge.

Where can I eat now?

"Come back soon, I have to go to your grandma's house to pay New Year's greetings."

Li Xuemei ordered.
