Chapter 344 Eating
Gu Changfeng came here to do real work and has long become one with the people here.
Everyone here respects Gu Changfeng as a leader. Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan usually get along well with Gu Changfeng and Su Yuehong. Now that they know they are their niece's parents-in-law, the two families are even closer.
So there was no sense of restraint or politeness when they came to eat. Gu Jiandong brought some wine, and Gu Changfeng took out the good wine his son brought, "Old Yang, we have to have a couple of drinks today to celebrate."
Yang Cheng smiled, "I have to drink two cups."
Su Yuehong held Luo Yulan's hand and said, "Let's have a drink, too. The wine Jiandong and Shuyu brought is good, so we can't let them have it for free."
It's freezing cold, and drinking some wine can warm the body. The alcohol content of this wine is not high, so it is suitable for female comrades to drink as well.
"Today is a happy day. Let's all drink a little. Let's all drink a little."
Gu Changfeng and his son cooked several dishes, even steamed pork with pork belly. Having wine and meat is considered a luxurious meal here.
Everyone sat down, and Gu Jiandong began to pour wine for the elders. Shen Shuyu couldn't drink alcohol and wasn't used to it, so she drank fruit juice.
The family raised their bowls and suggested, "Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Lao Yang, Yu Lan and Shu Yu recognizing each other. From now on, we are a family."
"Old Gu is right. From now on we are a family. We will take care of each other and help each other.
"Old Yang, Yulan, please eat more food, there is plenty of food." Su Yuehong greeted with a smile.
While Gu Jiandong was greeting his uncle and aunt, he did not forget to pick up some food for Shen Shuyu. Shen Shuyu gave him a look and Gu Jiandong knew what to do. Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan were very satisfied with this nephew-in-law.
This is because they hold their nephew and son-in-law in their hearts, which is why they have such tacit understanding.
Yang Cheng and Gu Changfeng talked a lot. They couldn't stop talking about the development of the Northwest.
Su Yuehong, Luo Yulan and the others were talking about the baby in Shen Shuyu's belly. Shen Shuyu brought a lot of fabrics with her. Shen Shuyu took some out and gave them to her aunt, "Aunt, take these fabrics back and make two sets of clothes for uncle and aunt."
"Aunt has clothes to wear. You don't need to wear such nice clothes here. Save the fabric to make clothes for the baby in your belly."
Speaking of making clothes for the child, Su Yuehong took out the needle and thread and fabric, "Yulan, I plan to make two clothes for the child. Can you help me see if this color is okay?"
It doesn't matter what color clothes a child wears, as long as the fabric is soft and the child is comfortable wearing them. But Su Yuehong wanted Luo Yulan to get involved. She could see that Luo Yulan wanted to do something, but they had nothing. They couldn't even come up with a decent gift for their niece.
As expected, when Su Yuehong asked for her opinion, Luo Yulan was very happy, "This color is good, both boys and girls can wear it."
"I don't have time to make clothes and shoes for my child. Can you help me make two pairs of shoes for my child?"
"Okay, I'm very happy to make shoes for my nephew and grandson."
Luo Yulan was really happy that she could help.
Shen Shuyu sat next to them, with a smile on her face all the time. The child has not been born yet and there is already a group of elders who love her. The baby will be born and grow up in a loving family, and she will definitely live a happy life.
Gu Changfeng, Yang Cheng and Gu Jiandong, three grown men, drank from noon until dark. There was a plate of peanuts, and they could chat over the peanuts until dark.
Su Yuehong and Luo Yulan used needle and thread to make clothes and shoes. They chatted with Shen Shuyu about family matters and were very happy. Shen Shuyu also learned a lot of things to pay attention to when raising children.
Gu Jiandong, who was drinking, listened more seriously than Shen Shuyu. After the child was born, he, as a father, would also have to know how to raise and take care of the child.
Yang Cheng's home is some distance away from Gu Changfeng's home. They wanted to go home, so Gu Changfeng and Gu Jiandong followed them out to see them off.
When they got home, Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan were lying on the bed. The couple was particularly happy today. Not only did they recognize their niece, they also learned about their parents and son.
Moreover, they are taken care of by their in-laws and live well. How can they not be happy?
"In the blink of an eye, Shuyu has grown into a big girl. Time flies so fast. This child is really cut from the same mold as my younger sister. She is very graceful and elegant. She doesn't talk or act like a country girl at all. My uncle and aunt have taken good care of Shuyu."
In the past, she was worried that her niece would be wronged or have a bad life if she returned to the countryside. She knew that people in the countryside never valued girls that much and just gave them food to eat and raised them in a makeshift way.
It seems that her worries were unnecessary, and not all grandparents dislike their granddaughters.
My niece said that she has never worked on the fields since she was a child. She grew up in the countryside but has never worked on the fields, so you can imagine how favored she is at home.
"Yes, my uncle and aunt took good care of Shuyu. If the child had lived with us, he might not have lived well in the countryside."
Although they could satisfy their niece materially and financially, they probably could not provide her with companionship. After all, before they were sent down to the countryside, they were all busy with work and must have neglected the child's growth.
"When Shuyu comes back, we will write a letter and let Shuyu bring it to mom and dad." Mom and dad must be worried if they don't hear from them.
Luo Yulan and her husband had the same idea. "Okay."
On Shen Shuyu's side, Gu Jiandong filled a bowl with water and sat on a small stool to wash Shen Shuyu's feet. "Shuyu, be happy today. You saved someone, and this person is your uncle."
Shen Shuyu poked his dimple, "Happy."
She had originally been thinking about finding the whereabouts of her uncle and aunt, but now that she had come to the Northwest to visit her parents-in-law, she no longer had to look for them because her uncle and aunt were right here.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Shuyu and Gu Jiandong got up early and worked with Su Yuehong, "Shuyu, you don't have to do anything, your mom and dad will be done in a while.
If you can't stay here, go out and ask your uncle and aunt to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Shen Shuyu didn't know where her uncle and aunt lived yet, so Gu Jiandong took her there. It was New Year's Eve, so Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan wanted to cook something and invite their niece and niece-in-law to come over for dinner.
Before I even left the house, they came over and said, "You came just in time. Invite your parents to come over for dinner tonight."
My uncle and aunt don’t have much food to begin with. If they eat it all at the New Year’s Eve dinner, how will they live in the future?
"Uncle and aunt, please come over to our place tonight for dinner. My parents-in-law have prepared everything and are just waiting for you to come over and eat."
Yang Cheng and Luo Yulan looked at each other and hesitated whether to go over. Gu Jiandong spoke up, "Uncle, aunt, if you don't go over, my parents will definitely tell on us when we go back, especially my dad, who might even beat me up."
"You kid, you're taller than your father, can he still beat you?"
