Chapter 149 Preparing New Year Gift Package
After discussing everything, everyone started playing with toys again.
Next, everyone played with the Q version of the Five Thousand Years box set and the science experiment set.
Looking at the words with missing strokes on the colored paper, the two were in trouble again.
I could only learn from Gu's family and operate these little toys. Soon I was fascinated by all kinds of magical little experiments.
Until Master Nian came in from outside and said to everyone, "Young masters, the old master wants you to take Master Duan and Master Song to the kitchen to eat."
Only then did everyone look at the sky.
I didn't know when the lights in the house were turned on, making the house as bright as day.
The two of them didn't care to be surprised, they just declined repeatedly: "No, no. We won't go. We have been here for a whole day. Let's go home and eat."
"Yes, we'll go back now."
In the end, the enthusiastic Gu family boys were unable to keep the two boys.
I had no choice but to let them go back and go back to the kitchen to eat.
While the boys of the Gu family were studying, doing experiments, and playing with toys, the Gu family had also packed the big gift packages for everyone in the valley.
The gift package includes a sheep. The size of the sheep will vary depending on the number of people in each family.
The size of a piece of beef is also determined according to the number of people in each family.
The main consideration is the temperature in the valley. If the same amount is given to everyone, a small family may not be able to finish it. If it goes bad but they are reluctant to throw it away and continue to eat it, that would be a problem.
Fruits, hemp leaves, fried dough twists, sugar dumplings, crispy meat, fried fish...all kinds of snacks are packed in self-heating boxes, and each family is given a box.
I bought a box of all the wild delicacies and persimmons I dug up from the mountains yesterday.
The plain cotton cloth woven by the Miao family was cut into quantities according to the number of people in each family, and distributed to each household.
Then, there are the shampoo and conditioner sets and perfume soaps made by the boys from the Gu family, one set for each family.
In this way, this gift package can be considered both rich and practical.
The Gu family put the names of the leaders of each family on the divided packages. They just waited for the perfume soaps of the Gu family boys to come out, put them in and sent them out.
When everyone saw the boys coming back but Duan and Song were missing, they started asking questions.
After hearing the whole story, everyone just smiled knowingly, saying that the two were too polite, and then sat down to eat.
During the family's meal, the boys proposed to Mr. Gu to build a basketball court and a football field.
It's a rare opportunity for his grandchildren to make suggestions, especially ones that are beneficial to all the children in the valley, so Grandpa Gu certainly wouldn't object.
Other members of the Gu family also expressed their support.
Mr. Gu took the opportunity to propose building a school.
"When you build the basketball court, why not build the school as well?"
"Grandpa, do we need to build another school?" Gu Yi asked doubtfully.
"Well, there are so many children in our valley, and they are not very old. We can't waste their time working every day. Since we have the conditions, let them learn some knowledge. Even if they go out in the future, they can support themselves." Grandpa Gu explained to his grandson.
"Grandpa, you are such a great grandpa. Fuer loves you so much." Gu Fu said happily to his grandfather.
"The ancient sages said, 'Respect the old and the young, not only your own but also those of others.' Grandpa has done it." Gu Fu gave a thumbs up to his grandfather.
When Grandpa Gu heard his granddaughter's words, he laughed and said, "Grandpa can do all this thanks to his good granddaughter. If it weren't for you, Fu'er, who brought such a big change to the family, Grandpa would be powerless even if he wanted to do it."
"It's because our family is good that the gods gave us this opportunity." Gu Fu said mischievously, making the whole family very happy.
"Jill, you are the eldest brother. If it were peaceful times, you could have been the head of the family. Now these matters are handed over to you. You and your younger brothers should arrange the school, basketball court, football field, and the schooling of the children in the valley." Grandpa Gu said to his eldest grandson.
Gu Ji stood up hurriedly, and the other boys also stood up, imitating their eldest brother.
The boys bowed and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. We will definitely do it well."
"Okay, sit down and eat." Grandpa Gu, the Gu Dahai brothers, and Jiang Shi all had loving faces, happily looking at their children who were becoming more and more promising.
Everyone had dinner in a joyful atmosphere.
Duan Shuhuan and Song Renjing returned to their home. Duan Shuhuan wanted to invite Song Renjing to dinner at home, but Song Renjing refused.
Song Renjing thought to himself that on the first day of school, Grandma and Aunt Duan would definitely have a lot to say to Duan Shuhuan, so he would not join in the fun.
The two said goodbye at the door of their house. As soon as Song Renjing left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Duan family heard the noise and came out to greet him. They happened to see Song Renjing's back, "Why did Renjing go back? We wanted to keep him for dinner." Mrs. Duan asked.
"I tried to keep him, but he didn't agree. I guess he was tired after studying all day." Duan Shuhuan replied.
"Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Come in and have dinner." Mrs. Duan said.
"Yes, yes, come in quickly. You have been at your grandfather Gu's house all day today and have caused them trouble. You must be hungry after studying so late. I have saved the meal for you." Old Madam Duan also said.
"Okay, grandma, mom. I learned a lot today. I'm not even hungry anymore. Grandpa Gu's family wanted to keep us for dinner, but we didn't have the intention to eat there, so we ran back." Duan Shuhuan scratched his head and said again.
"My grandson did the right thing. Although your grandfather Gu's family doesn't care about these things, there are so many people watching in this valley. We can't make things difficult for them. Tell grandma what you have learned today after dinner." Old Lady Duan said to her grandson happily.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, maids and servants served them food.
Duan Shuhuan finished his meal quickly and then told his mother and grandmother everything he had learned and seen that day.
Duan Shuhuan's description is vivid and colorful, and there are new and unprecedented things.
The maids, old women and followers also gathered to listen. Everyone listened as if they were listening to a story, fascinated, and exclaimed and laughed from time to time.
Song Renjing, who was next door, heard the laughter coming from the Duan family and started laughing too.
Then, remembering the moves that Master Wu had taught him in the morning, he practiced them in the yard with his internal energy. As expected, his movements were smooth and his power was doubled.
Song Renjing was overjoyed and continued practicing.
And as I practiced, I felt my internal strength become stronger. This was a big surprise.
But why didn't the Gu family practice internal strength? Song Renjing was puzzled.
Old Madam Duan and Mrs. Duan were very happy to hear about their grandson/son's progress that day.
Thinking of what Shuhuan said, the Gu family was preparing a big gift package, I wonder if it was a holiday gift for the New Year.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, a thank-you gift from home must be given.
So the next day, Mrs. Duan went to the grocery store to exchange cloth, and began to embroider and tailor, and did needlework with old Mrs. Duan.
