- #375 - Chapter 369 A simple and crude New Year’s dinner in the north: a red envelope for the new daughter-i
The sunshine on the first day of the new year is very good. The winter sun in the north is always very bright, and it can basically shine into the room at noon.
The balcony of Gu Huaian’s house is connected to the living room. The floor is not low, more than ten floors, and the lighting is very good. At noon, the blazing sunlight shines on the white floor of the house, making the whole house bright and warm. .
“Friend on the left!”
On the TV, the replay of last night’s Spring Festival Gala was playing. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the scene of Gu Huaian’s “Social Awesomeness” at the Spring Festival Gala last night was playing.
Because the eldest son brought his girlfriend back, we cooked a lot of dishes at home. There were already a lot of them on the table, but there was still nothing left in the kitchen.
The whole house is filled with the aroma of sauce, meat, vegetables…
Of course, there is also the smell of perfume on Pei Jingshu’s body and the smell of laundry detergent at home.
Gu Ma helped Pei Jingshu pour water, held her hand and chatted enthusiastically.
The picture always looks very warm…
“ah!”
“mom!”
“help me!”
In the room, there would often be a sound like “killing a pig”.
Gu Huaian finally took out his anger on his younger brother…
“The two of them have been like this since they were young…”
Gu Ma silently held her forehead and told Pei Jingshu some stories about Gu Huaian and Gu Zhun when they were young.
It is said that these two brothers were troubled when they were young. Even though they are several years apart in age, they do almost exactly the same things…
When he was a child and lived in his hometown village, Gu Huaian didn’t like to wash his face. Then you forced him to wash his face. When he was forced, he found the charcoal that was burned in the winter, blackened his hands and wiped them on his face!
Mother Gu was so angry that she chased him with a broom and beat him for a long time…
The crux of the matter is that his younger brother did the same thing when he was that age!
“His brother has never been easy to teach…”
When Gu Ma mentioned this, she said it was Gu Huaian who taught her, so Gu Huaian was still unjust. Who is a good person who has no time to teach this stuff?
“Puch…”
Pei Jingshu was amused and giggled, but she didn’t expect that Gu Huaian was so naughty when he was a child.
Gu’s mother became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, and wanted to share with Pei Jingshu some of the bad things that happened to Gu Huaian when she was a child. She wanted to take advantage of Gu Huaian’s absence…
But soon!
“呲呲……”
There was a sound of a pot boiling in the kitchen.
“ah!”
Gu Ma stood up immediately and ran to the kitchen while shouting to the two brothers fighting in the room:
“It’s all because of the fuss you two made, I forgot there was meat stewing in the kitchen!”
Gu Huaian and Gu Zhun were aggrieved in the room. Do you think it was because they were having trouble?
That was just because Gu Ma and Pei Jingshu were chatting animatedly…
You forgot, do you blame your two sons?
It makes these two sons look like they are not biological children…
Pei Jingshu, who was sitting in the living room holding the tea made by Gu Huaian’s brother, smiled and watched this scene…
There is a heater at home, which is very warm. The sun is good today, and the sunshine can also make people feel good. After drinking tea for a while, Gu Ma held her hand to warm it for a while. At this time, Pei Jingshu had completely warmed up. My hands are quite warm…
But what made her feel warmer was probably the atmosphere of this home.
This family has such a good relationship…
Moreover, she was not regarded as an outsider at all, and she even felt that she was closer to Gu Ma than the Gu Huaian brothers.
Pei Jingshu couldn’t help but think that with such a mother-in-law, if there was another conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, then the daughter-in-law would have to find her own problems.
…
Yesterday, on New Year’s Eve, Gu Huaian didn’t come back from the Spring Festival Gala, so he didn’t have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
When Pei Jingshu comes back at the beginning of the year today, Gu’s mother must be well prepared.
The dining table at home is filled with dishes, such as Chinese New Year sausages, stewed pork ribs, pig’s trotters, fried yellow rice cakes, lotus roots, hairtail fish, including spicy fried large intestine, tripe, etc., basically all of them are mountain food. The standard equipment for Chinese New Year in winter areas.
Northerners always have a rich New Year dinner table, with not only many dishes, but also plenty of portions.
The table at home is not very big, so Gu Ma basically doesn’t use big plates to serve food, but only small real plates.
Afraid that Pei Jingshu wouldn’t be used to the simple and crude food in the north, Gu’s mother specially fried shrimps with celery and fungus, cooked a white sugar cucumber, stir-fried eggs with minced garlic, shredded pork with garlic sprouts, and cut up a plate of beef. Mixed with preserved eggs…
That table is wow…
“Auntie, did you do all this?”
Pei Jingshu was stunned.
At first, when Gu’s mother called Gu Zhun to bring out the dishes, Pei Jingshu was a little dumbfounded when she saw Gu Zhun bringing out plate after plate. When all the dishes were served, she was really dumbfounded.
Even if many housewives were allowed to work on this large table, she would probably have to work on it for a whole day…
This is too rich!
“Eat whatever you want…”
Gu Ma seemed very humble at the moment. She wiped her hands and walked into the kitchen and said:
“There’s another fish, it’ll be ready soon, you guys eat it first.”
“anything else?!”
Pei Jingshu couldn’t help but glance at Gu Huaian. She had heard Gu Huaian praise his mother many times before for her good craftsmanship and home-cooked food. Who would have thought that she would be so exaggerated!
“She just doesn’t have time to open a shop. Otherwise, if she cooks and eats for both of us every day, both of us will have to weigh more than 200 pounds.”
Gu Huaian looked very ordinary. He pulled up a chair and sat down. Before his mother came over, he took a piece of lotus root and stuffed it into his mouth.
You don’t follow so many rules in your own home. If you come home during the Chinese New Year and act upright, that would be too foreign…
“No wonder you are so good at eating…”
Pei Jingshu recalled that when she and Gu Huaian were recording programs in Yunnan, she always wondered how Gu Huaian came up with so many weird foods, such as cucumber mixed with fried dough sticks and fried steamed bun slices…
It turns out that everything has traces to follow!
“Today is indeed quite rich…”
Gu Huaian scratched his head, picked up a piece of fried hairtail and ate it, while shouting to his mother in the kitchen:
“Mom, you treat me differently. When did our family have such a prosperous New Year in the past?”
This is true. Their family is not that big, just three people. They cook too much and may not eat it, so even the New Year’s Eve dinner only consists of a few of the brothers’ favorite dishes.
My family does buy New Year products, but they are basically made for guests when they come over during the New Year days.
When relatives come over, there are a lot of dishes cooked at home, and there is a big table, but not as much as today, so exaggerated…
In response, Gu Ma just glared at Gu Huaian and said:
“Just stop climbing. When have you been missing something since I was a kid?”
Maybe Gu’s mother has been busy opening a shop to make money these years, but she really hasn’t treated the brothers badly when it comes to food.
Gu Huaian shrugged and did not refute, because today there was a large table of dishes, although it was rare for people to gather here together like this before, but he had basically eaten every dish.
It tastes like home.
“Try this…”
Gu Huaian peeled off the spines from the hairtail in his hand and handed it to Pei Jingshu. It is worth mentioning that he ate it with his hands and peeled it for Pei Jingshu with chopsticks.
Very particular about it!
“Um……”
Pei Jingshu shook her head and whispered:
“Let’s wait until auntie comes.”
Forget it if you don’t help, but it’s not appropriate to use chopsticks without waiting for the aunt.
“It’s okay…”
Gu Huaian knew that she was polite, so he glanced at the kitchen and saw his mother busy finishing the fish, so he whispered to Pei Jingshu:
“Come on, you have a taste first, I just won’t tell my mother…”
Pei Jingshu originally wanted to refuse, but after seeing that Huai’an had peeled it for herself, the fried hairtail fish was indeed quite tempting…
She has been smelling the aroma of the food at home for a long time since she entered the door, and she has been hungry for a long time…
So after taking a peek at Gu’s mother in the kitchen, she didn’t refuse. She quietly opened her red lips and let Gu Huaian stuff the peeled hairtail into his mouth.
At that moment, Pei Jingshu suddenly remembered the first time she met Gu Huaian, when he secretly called her to eat ice cream where her sister couldn’t see her…
Being with Gu Huaian, it seems that such “stealing” scenes are always inevitable.
I really miss it…
“Is it delicious?” Gu Huaian asked.
“Yeah.” Pei Jingshu nodded.
This hairtail fish has been pickled, wrapped in starch and soaked through. It tastes pretty good, moderately salty, and is no worse than the ones made in restaurants outside.
“You guys eat first, you don’t have to wait for me…”
At the right time, Gu Ma brought the last dish of steamed sturgeon to the table. She saw Pei Jingshu sitting there obediently without moving her chopsticks. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it…
On the other hand, none of her two sons were waiting for her. Although they didn’t move their chopsticks, the two greedy sons had already fried several pieces of fried food and ate them.
I chewed until my mouth and hands were all oily…
Comparing him with Pei Jingshu, he is like a person from two different worlds.
“You two heartless people, can you learn from Jing Shu?”
Mother Gu sometimes wonders if she is really too spoiled to her two sons, and is she really neglectful of discipline?
In the past, when Gu Huaian was scolded as “unqualified”, she had thought that it was her own responsibility…
It is worth mentioning that Pei Jingshu blushed a little after hearing this, and her eyes were a little ashamed, because just now…
She also took a sneaky bite.
But she will definitely not say this…
But it’s not certain whether Gu Huaian will. Look at this moment, the old man is looking at Pei Jingshu with a half-smiling look…
“Don’t……”
Pei Jingshu blushed. Not wanting to embarrass herself in front of her elders, she anxiously tugged at the corner of Gu Huaian’s clothes under the table.
Gu Huaian, who was kind and considerate, didn’t expose her, he just laughed…
“Look at that worthless look on your smile…”
Gu’s mother looked disgusted with him, but she also saw Pei Jingshu secretly tugging at the corner of Gu Huaian’s clothes, which made Gu’s mother couldn’t help but smile like an aunt, feeling that her son and daughter-in-law were quite close.
“Okay, let’s use the chopsticks…”
I am happy today. It is rare for Gu’s mother to open a bottle of red wine. This wine was given to Gu Huaian by a friend last year. Gu Huaian took it home because he was not too happy to drink red wine. He planned to give it to his relatives when they came to the house.
But Gu Ma was never willing to give it to her relatives, so she kept it.
Speaking of which, although Gu Huaian is a good drinker, he almost never drinks at home. Pei Jingshu knows this because no one in the family drinks. People who don’t drink hate the smell of tobacco and alcohol. He drinks alone and gets everywhere. It’s not necessary if it smells like alcohol.
“Um…Auntie, wait a moment.”
Before Mrs. Gu raised her glass, Pei Jingshu suddenly interrupted and then picked up two gift bags prepared in advance from the side of the table…
“I brought you a gift.”
One of the older ones is for Gu Ma, and the smaller one is for Gu Zhun.
Gu Huaian smiled helplessly. If you want him to tell you, can you just bring the gift in?
But it seems that Pei Jingshu is a bit particular about this aspect, saying that gifts must be exchanged at the dinner table…
But there is one thing to say, giving gifts at this time does seem to be quite entertaining.
Mother Gu was very surprised because the gift Pei Jingshu gave her was a coat that felt good to the touch. There was a trademark on the back of the coat. It seemed to be an international brand. It seemed to be a limited edition and worth hundreds of thousands…
What was given to Gu Zhun was a watch for young people. He probably wouldn’t have much use for it now, but it would be just right for him when he becomes an adult in two years.
The value is around hundreds of thousands.
“Pfft…ahem…”
Gu Huaian was drinking water, but after seeing these two gifts, he almost squirted.
Then he looked at Pei Jingshu with strange eyes…
“What…what happened?”
Pei Jingshu was still surprised, thinking there was something wrong with the gift she chose.
“No…it’s okay.”
Gu Huaian waved his hand but didn’t say anything. Fortunately, his mother didn’t know the value of that dress very well, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible whether he would dare to wear it…
Who in an ordinary family can afford to wear a coat worth hundreds of thousands a piece? !
Then it’s not worth the money if it’s made of gold!
Hundreds of thousands are enough to buy a second-hand house in a small county below this second-tier city…
His own mother knew it herself. Gu Huaian felt that if her mother knew the value of this dress, she would definitely be reluctant to wear it and wish she could pay for it.
There was no way, their family’s views were like this, and they had been like this for decades. Even if Gu Huaian’s income skyrocketed after he became famous, and he transferred a lot of money to his mother, these views could not be changed easily.
Gu Zhun is not that bad, this kid is eager to give him some luxury goods to show off…
The reason why Gu Huaian reacted like that just now was because he felt that Pei Jingshu’s gift was wrong. Wouldn’t it appear that Pei Jingshu was too thoughtful if it was too expensive?
I just think…
His own mother was frightened when she found out about the price.
When Pei Jingshu asked Gu Huaian for his opinion before buying a gift, Gu Huaian really didn’t have any idea and just ignored it. How could he have thought that the gift she brought was so expensive? !
But what surprised Gu Huaian was…
Mom even prepared a red envelope for Pei Jingshu!
In fact, there is no such thing as a girlfriend coming to give red envelopes here. They usually give red envelopes when they are engaged or change their mind.
But who made Gu Ma so satisfied with Pei Jingshu?
The old lady is not short of money. Gu Huaian usually transfers money home when he has nothing to do, often tens or even millions. He is not short of money, there are not many places to use the money, and he does not know how to give it to his family. Suffer…
So the red envelope that Gu’s mother gave Pei Jingshu was really quite big, totaling more than 600,000 yuan, and she chose an auspicious number, 666666!
This was something Gu Huaian didn’t even expect. He had the impression that his mother was a frugal person and generally not so extravagant…
Gu Huaian thought that the coat that cost hundreds of thousands a piece was frightened when she heard the price. She never thought that someone would throw away a red envelope worth more than 600,000 yuan…
Gu Huaian felt that it was time to re-evaluate his understanding of his mother!
This one is really impressive!
Pei Jingshu must have declined, but Gu Ma said that this is Gu Huaian’s money anyway, and what’s his is yours, who holds it differently?
This actually made Pei Jingshu blush a little and feel a little embarrassed…
“Okay, the dishes are cold. Use your chopsticks and hurry up.”
After exchanging gifts, it’s time to use chopsticks. It’s worth mentioning that brothers Gu Huaian and Gu Zhun ate exactly the same food. They both devoured the food, which made Gu’s mother feel so embarrassed. She kept scolding them both.
On the contrary, Pei Jingshu ate slowly and chatted with Gu’s mother from time to time, which made Gu’s mother more and more satisfied.
Well, her appearance and temperament are the kind of obedient type that elders like. She is also so polite and sensible. What elder can’t like her?
This made Gu Huaian and Gu Zhun look like outsiders. After dinner, Gu Ma simply handed over the work of washing pots and dishes to Gu Huaian and Gu Zhun, and took Pei Jingshu’s hand to the living room to bask in the sun and drink tea.
“…You can’t buy a dishwasher!” Gu Huaian complained as he cleaned up.
“Then the dishwasher is free?” Gu’s mother rolled her eyes.
“…I didn’t see you worrying about the money when I first gave you the red envelope?” Gu Huaian’s mouth twitched.
More than 600,000 yuan in red envelopes are given to you as soon as you ask, and you can’t bear to buy a dishwasher worth tens of thousands of yuan. There is really no one left…
I was really sleepy after the meal. I didn’t even take a break after returning from the Spring Festival Gala last night before catching the high-speed train. After drinking and eating, Gu Huaian felt sleepy early. It was time to go to bed in the afternoon, so he simply washed a few dishes. He left it to Gu Zhun and ran to his room to sleep.
Gu Zhun must have complained, but Gu Huaian handed over a “New Year’s money red envelope” worth tens of thousands of yuan with his backhand. Not only did his brother’s complaints go away, he even asked me if my shoulders were sore or my back was stiff. Do you need it? massage?
The “money ability” is really easy to use…
Gu Huaian wanted to let Pei Jingshu take a rest. After all, she was with him at the Spring Festival Gala last night…
But Pei Jingshu said that she wanted to go to the new house with Gu Ma to take a look.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that Gu’s mother bought a house for Gu Huaian in a local villa area in a good location some time ago, and it is being renovated recently.
Their family is not short of money now. Gu Huaian’s current monthly income starts from seven to eight figures. There is nothing wrong with the community where he lives now. Gu Huaian doesn’t go home often. Gu Zhun and Gu’s mother will definitely have a house. It’s enough to live in…
But privacy is not good!
After all, he is a well-known artist and a big star. Gu Huaian’s home is always watched by various people. During the National Day period, when he was not working at home, he was often blocked by people at the door. The elevators were not password-controlled. Sometimes There are people blocking the door of the corridor at home…
Maybe they didn’t have bad intentions, and they even came to encourage Gu Huaian, but after all, they also disturbed Gu Huaian’s private life, so who doesn’t want to have a little private life?
You can’t always be in the audience’s sight.
So at that time, Gu Huaian asked Gu’s mother to find a more private community to buy a suite. If that didn’t work, she might as well go to the city…
Sometimes, being a star is not an easy thing.
