Chapter 314 Good Days
Chapter 314 Good Days
Guan Youshuang: "Dad, Mom, Errong is really busy recently. They are working on a national project this time and often stay up late. The weight loss may be caused by staying up late."
Wang Huiying sighed distressedly: "Alas, how can your body bear staying up late for a long time?"
"Mom, don't worry. We will finish the inspection soon and go back early next month."
"Then you should take care of yourself."
"Well, Dad, have you asked someone to check the date for moving to the new house? Is there a good day this year? I'll see if I can ask for leave then."
Gu Yunliang nodded: "I've seen that there are only two good days this year, one is August 15th, and the other is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. I thought you would be busy on August 15th, so I didn't make any preparations and planned to move in the twelfth lunar month."
"It's too cold in the twelfth lunar month, and it's close to the Chinese New Year. It would be inconvenient if it snowed." Gu Errong looked at Guan Youshuang, "Besides, Youshuang will probably be giving birth by then, so let's move on August 15th."
"His father, why don't you go back today and tell our relatives that we can move tomorrow," said Wang Huiying.
"Is it too late to tell now? Not every relative has a phone number."
Gu Errong said, "Dad, Mom, I think we shouldn't have a big wedding. We can just invite our relatives and those we often hang out with and have a simple meal."
I know my wife Mo Ruofu.
Guan Youshuang thought this was a good idea.
She is the person who fears holding banquets in the village the most. Not only is it extremely troublesome, but it is also easy to offend people.
Besides, they are moving into a new house this time. To be honest, who wouldn’t be jealous?
Gu Yunliang nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back quickly. Your aunt's house doesn't have a phone. I have to go to their house."
Wang Huiying was dissatisfied and said softly, "Since it's not a big wedding, forget about his aunt's family. You know, his aunt has always been dissatisfied with us. In addition, Errong was assigned to the Water Conservancy Bureau before, and she hated our family even more. When Errong got married, she would never have come if she hadn't been invited many times."
"You always talk nonsense. I'm just too busy. Why are you asking me to come here again and again? Besides, didn't he come in the end?"
"That's because I can't wipe my face off. I'm not wrong. Last time at the market..."
"Okay," Gu Yunliang interrupted her, "Errong only has one aunt, we have to go and ask her out."
Guan Youshuang vaguely remembered meeting this so-called aunt once, it seemed to be at their wedding banquet?
At that time, she had a serious face and didn't speak to her.
I never saw him again, nor did I hear anyone mention him.
Anyway, I don’t have any impression.
Wang Huiying is a person with a pretty good personality. The fact that even she can't tolerate this person shows that this aunt really went too far.
Thinking of this, Guan Youshuang suddenly looked forward to meeting this person tomorrow.

the next day.
The early morning sun shines through the mist and shines on every corner of the village.
The women got up early and began to prepare festive food.
In the Gu family’s new courtyard, the two-story Western-style building was pasted with red couplets, big red “喜” characters were pasted on the windows, and red lanterns were hung on the door, making it particularly eye-catching.
There are four large round tables in the yard, each covered with a white tablecloth embroidered with red patterns, making the tablecloth look particularly festive.
The table was filled with cigarettes and alcohol, all of which were high-end products at the time.
There are also melon seeds, peanuts, candies, etc.
On one side of the yard, the cooks were busy.
Washing, cutting and cooking vegetables, the whole yard is filled with the rich aroma of vegetables.
The big iron pot is filled with rich braised pork, and the big plate is filled with colorful cold dishes, which are refreshing and delicious.
They were all chefs invited by Guan Youshuang from Manxiangyuan.
After ten o'clock, accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, relatives came one after another with gifts to celebrate.
Some relatives even brought their own children.
Everyone has a smile on their face.
The relatives lived close together, so everyone had arrived early.
The men gathered together smoking, the women gathered together eating melon seeds and chatting, the children chased and played in the yard, and the old people talked about the same old things, telling stories from the past.
Gu Ruyi was away learning to operate an excavator and did not come back this time. Gu Errong, Guan Youshuang and Huang Chunyan were busy greeting guests and serving tea.
When the auspicious time arrived, the banquet began and the sound of toasts rang out one after another.
The chefs served up delicious dishes, including braised fish, Kung Pao chicken, twice-cooked pork, spicy hot pot, etc.
Every dish is delicious and mouth-watering.
Everyone was toasting each other and drinking happily.
While everyone was eating, Huang Chunyan pulled Guan Youshuang aside and whispered, "Aunt is so arrogant. Dad went to invite her but she didn't come."
Guan Youshuang pointed at the women and asked, "Isn't there an aunt there?"
"No, the one on the far left is my mother's aunt's daughter, the one sitting next to her is my mother's aunt's daughter, and you should have seen the third one, she is my sister-in-law..."
After listening to Huang Chunyan's introduction, Guan Youshuang realized that her mother-in-law actually had an older sister.
But he died early.
"It's really strange. They used to be people who didn't go out much, but when they heard that you were moving to a new hospital, they came here on their own." Huang Chunyan said, "People are like this, they despise the poor and love the rich."
"Ah? Aren't these relatives the ones we usually visit?"
Guan Youshuang had been married for less than a year, and the custom here was to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, so she didn't know any of this.
Huang Chunyan shook her head: "Most of them are not. When Ruyi and I got married, our family was too poor and they didn't even come. Look at how enthusiastic they are now. Well, they just want to curry favor with you."
Guan Youshuang didn't want to continue this topic, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom and prepared to leave.
At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm late."
A short woman wearing a black linen dress walked in carrying two bags of snacks.
To be fair, she looks pretty good. Although she looks to be over 60 years old, her facial features are still delicate.
Gu Errong turned around: "Aunt."
"Hey Errong, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even more handsome now."
Guan Youshuang asked Huang Chunyan in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, is this the aunt you were talking about?"
"Yes, her name is Gu Yunqiong."
Gu Yunqiong?
Guan Youshuang tried hard to recall the original book, but she couldn't remember this person.
No wonder, she just reads books hastily without looking at them carefully.
"She looks quite enthusiastic then."
"I'm just pretending. I'll go get the tea first."
As soon as Gu Yunqiong sat down, he started talking nonstop, as if he was familiar with everyone.
"Errong, where is your wife? Why don't you bring her out for Auntie to see."
Guan Youshuang was pouring tea at the table next to her.
She looked back.
"Aunt, Youshuang is here."
Gu Yunqiong looked Guan Youshuang up and down, over and over again, making Guan Youshuang very uncomfortable.
"Aunt, what are you looking at?"
"I look at your baby and it doesn't look like a son."
