BXBX NOVEL Chapter 809
Three sons, three daughters-in-law, four granddaughters, two grandsons, Yang Shi’s father, Lu Zheng and his two grandchildren, and the Huo family’s four grandchildren filled the three tables.
The dishes were all dishes that Gu Nian and Grandpa Gu had picked out from the list of dishes that everyone liked.
Before dinner, Gu shouxin took Cai Xiaolian and the children to the next Manor.
Cai Xiaolian decided to give everyone in the manor a Red Seal of one tael of silver, which made everyone in the manor overjoyed.
The people in this Manor all knew how to make desserts and candies, so the Gu family did not need to send them over.
The family came back after some concluding remarks.
What they did not know was that after they returned, the men in the manor went to find Meng Meng and asked if he could sign another Indenture contract with the Gu family. This time, it would be for five years. Five years of Marquis Yao. They would definitely make a lot of money!
Meng Meng told them that they didn’t need to sign a slave contract. They could sign a contract, something like a long-term worker. When they married and had children in the future, they wouldn’t be slaves. They just needed to be loyal to the Gu family.
How could these men not be willing?
The days with the Gu family were much better than when they were in the village. They had the same freedom, but they could eat well and wear well. They could also learn things. Who wouldn’t want to have such an owner?
Meng Meng saw that no one had any plans to leave after a year, so he assured them that he would fight for a better contract for them next year. As long as they were loyal, they would definitely have meat to eat every meal.
......
When he returned from visiting the grave in the afternoon, the family had already pasted the word ” Fortune “, couplets, and red lanterns.
In addition to Gu shouxin and Lu Zheng’s couplets this year, there were a few more words for the couplets. There were those from Huo Junhao, old master Huo, Grandpa Gu, and Gu en.
Gu en’s handwriting was definitely very good in front of the children. However, when it came to this group of people, he shut himself up again and did not want to speak.
In the end, only his own name was hung on the door of his room.
Uncle Gu even encouraged him. en ‘Zi, take this as a warning. Every time you want to slack off, you should run out and walk around every house. Then, you will find out how bad your handwriting is. Then, you will work hard!
Gu en still did not want to speak.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the children all ran out to play crazily. No one brought Gu Ren along, mainly because it was winter and he was dressed like a ball. It was difficult to walk while carrying him.
Gu Ren hugged Lu Zheng’s leg and stared at him pitifully. You’re the male protagonist I created, my son. Hurry up and take your father out to play.
“I want to drink with everyone!” Lu Zheng laughed.
Gu Ren fell asleep in Zhang Shi’s arms in a Huff.
This year, when the Gu siblings went out to play, it was different from last year. Last year, there were still people who wanted to find trouble with them. This year, all of them wanted to play with them. After all, the sweets at home were all made and sold by the Gu family. They even brought their family to earn money. The Gu family was their God of Wealth.
The happiest person in the group was none other than Gu Xin. In the past, she had never played with the girls in the village. No one wanted to play with her. Now that everyone was playing with her, of course she was happy.
However, in her heart, Cheng Huaiyu, Huo Yanyu, and Xie Zhiyi were still her good friends. This was because the three of them were willing to be her friends other than her own sisters. They were different from the other girls in the village who had watched each other grow up.
