The Buddhist Cannon Fodder of Seventies [MTL]

Chapter 47 Changes

Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Gu Mingdong was awakened by the movement next door.

He vaguely heard the excited voices of the twins.

Before he could get up, the twins ran in, and they both jumped on Gu Mingdong: "Dad, get up quickly."

Today they all put on new cotton-padded jackets. Although they are all of a gray and stain-resistant color, Gu Xiuxiu is good at making the cotton-padded jackets fit well. She also made two large pockets with floral fabrics. The twins felt particularly good when wearing them. Spirit.

It was a rare occasion to wear new clothes, and the twins were obviously very happy.

Gu Mingdong opened his eyes helplessly, and pinched his son's chubby cheeks: "I usually like to stay in bed, and your aunt can't get up, but today I got up early."

Gu Liangxing didn't mind if his father pinched the meat and said in a slurred voice: "We are going with my second uncle to pay New Year's greetings and have some sweets."

"Isn't there enough candy at home for you?" Gu Mingdong said with a smile.

Gu Liangchen was beside him, tilting his little head and saying, "That's different. The candies we get for New Year greetings are free, but our candies are bought with money."

Gu Liangxing also agreed: "We have to go to celebrate the New Year quickly and bring back more candies to eat."

Gu Mingdong was amused: "You are not young, you are all smart."

Now that his son was up, Gu Mingdong had to get up quickly and put on new clothes.

I took the twins outside and saw that the second brother Gu was also standing there in brand new clothes, but the third sister Gu and the fourth sister were busy in the kitchen, still wearing old clothes.

"Why don't you wear new clothes?" Gu Mingdong asked.

Gu Sanmei smiled and said, "I'm cooking. It's a pity to get my new clothes dirty. I'll put them on after I'm done."

It is the custom in Shanghe Village to eat glutinous rice balls on the morning of New Year's Day, but the current conditions do not allow it, so Gu Simei thought of a way to roll flour into small balls and then add sugar to boil them.

Although it is a solid meatball, it actually tastes good with sugar added.

After the family of six finished eating the sweet flour dumplings, Gu Erdi took a nephew by the hand and planned to go out to pay New Year greetings.

"Third sister, fourth sister, you can come along and join in the fun. I'll just stay at home."

Generally speaking, the younger generation goes to pay New Year greetings, while the elders stay at home and wait for others to come to visit them.

But the situation of the old Gu family is different. The family is all juniors, and there are only juniors and juniors. Gu Mingdong, the only one who is married and has a baby, can only stay.

Gu Sanmei was a little eager to try.

In previous years, the family had a difficult time, and they were too embarrassed to go out to pay New Year greetings in large numbers, as it would be like taking advantage of others, but it was different today. Their family also had a candy plate with cookies in it!

Gu Simei hesitated and said: "Brother, I'd better stay and help you."

"If you need any help for New Year's greetings, you can go. There are a large group of children in every household. It would be a loss for our family if you don't go." Gu Mingdong said with a smile.
