Chapter 139 Preparations before the New Year
At this time, everyone in the valley had just moved into their new homes.
In addition to working, I buy furniture for my new home bit by bit to prepare for the coming New Year.
The boys of the Gu family distilled perfume from the flowers picked by the children and added the perfume to soap.
It was sold in grocery stores and attracted many people's love.
Just to make soap, Daju and his friends hunted a lot of wild boars.
Wen used pork to make a lot of bacon and sausages. From time to time, she would make some delicacies, pork jerky and other snacks and sell them in the store.
No matter whether it is meat or vegetables, or cakes and snacks, sometimes there are also fruit and vegetable salads.
A large food box is a large food box of delicious food, and you only need a bamboo stick. If you are lucky, you may get free milk tea or milk.
This price is also very cheap for children.
Picking a bamboo basket of flowers can be exchanged for a large food box. A child can pick five or six baskets of flowers a day.
Everyone has the opportunity to improve their meals and enjoy delicious food.
Miao also put the cloth she wove in the grocery store for people to exchange.
Gu Dahe and the craftsmen also took the time to make simple furniture and put it in the store for people to exchange. Gu Dahe's recent thoughts are all on researching Chinese patent medicines.
There are many people in the valley now, and even if they rely on themselves, they probably can't get out of the forest. However, the Gu family members are conscious and have never driven the trams out again.
Every time a delivery is made, it is done by the respective smart butler.
There are still seven days until the Chinese New Year, and everyone in the valley has begun to busy themselves with preparations.
After dinner that day, when Nanny Zao had finished cleaning up, everyone in the Gu family gathered around the table to hold a meeting.
It was still the head of the family, Mr. Gu, who spoke first happily: "The New Year is coming soon. This is also the first New Year for our family in the valley. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Let's summarize together how we should spend this New Year."
When the boys heard this, they became excited, but when they thought about the other people in the valley, their excitement disappeared.
The same was true for the other members of the Gu family. Although everyone accepted it and was willing to help the survivors in Weng County, after living together, the Gu family did invisibly restrain themselves a lot.
In the past two months, the number of times people go out of the house has decreased, and they no longer ride wolves or tigers to go out for fun.
The family has never gone on an outing or picnic in the mountains together.
First, it was to help everyone build a house. Second, the Gu family was trying to behave like everyone else.
Although no one asked them to do this, and Gu Fu also guaranteed that there would be no hidden dangers, the Gu family still imposed such restrictions on themselves.
Seeing his family members fall silent after being excited, Mr. Gu could only continue, "It's just that the people in our valley have all just lost their loved ones and have just experienced disasters. The New Year must be a time to pay tribute to their families. Now everyone's house is settled. What I mean is, let's not bother others, prepare more sumptuous New Year gifts, and close the door to celebrate our own New Year."
"Grandpa, what's the point of celebrating the New Year behind closed doors? I want to go to the amusement park. I haven't been there for a long time. Brother Yuan must miss me." Gu Le said aggrievedly.
"Me too, I really want to play track kart. I haven't driven it for a long time and my hands are numb." Gu Yi also said.
"Bumper cars! Bumper cars! Kang'er wants to play bumper cars." Little Gu Kang also joined the discussion.
"I want to go on a picnic." said Gu An.
"I want to go treasure hunting in the mountains." Gu Ru said excitedly.
"I also want to go shopping outside." Gu Xiang also said.
This proposal was immediately supported by his father Gu Dajiang, "I think this is a good idea. We can go and see the situation outside. I heard that during the Chinese New Year, there will be lanterns outside. I have never seen this in my life."
Old Master Gu saw through Gu Dajiang's thoughts and immediately glared at his son in anger.
He said angrily, "Alright, you two, you've been thinking about running outside all day long. Now that the outside world is in such a mess, you're still thinking about it all day long. Don't mention the matter of going out again."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other secretly, then lowered their heads in amusement and guilt.
After scolding his son, Mr. Gu turned around and said to his granddaughter in a friendly manner: "Fu, how do you want to celebrate the New Year?"
Gu Fu had been thinking about it just now. After all, this was his first year since he came into this world, and also the only year with the company of his relatives.
Gu Fu is looking forward to this year very much, as there are so many things he wants to do.
Although we have to take the feelings of other people in the valley into consideration, but as grandpa said, now everyone is a family and each family should just celebrate their own New Year behind closed doors.
Gu Fu took out paper and pen from the space.
He wrote quickly and everyone gathered around to read it.
Written on the paper were the words: "One, go hunting in the grassland; two, go to the mountains to look for treasures; three, make New Year's food; four, prepare New Year's gift packages for the people in Weng County; five, the amusement park will be open all day for seven days; six, rehearse the Gu family version of the Spring Festival Gala; seven, a night tour of Zesheng County; eight, stay up all year, watch the Gu family Spring Festival Gala, watch movies; nine, pay New Year's greetings to the elders at home and ask for red envelopes.
When everyone saw this, they all laughed and joked, "You little money-grubber!"
When Grandpa Gu saw the first and seventh items written by his granddaughter, he said disapprovingly: "Fu, Daju and the others have enough food from hunting every day. There is no need to go hunting in the grassland. It is so far away, and it is too dangerous. Besides, there is nothing fun to do in Zesheng County at night. Let's not go."
"Grandpa, Daju and his friends have been hunting wild boars lately. And we can't always hunt nearby. If we continue, no prey will dare to come to our place."
"I went hunting on the grassland because I wanted to take everyone with me to relax and experience the feeling of galloping on the grassland. If we are lucky, we can catch a few cows or sheep and make beef hot pot and mutton dumplings."
"As for the night tour of Zesheng County, hehe, of course there are fun things to do at night." Gu Fu winked at his grandfather mischievously, "We can watch the lanterns and see what delicious food and fun things there are. I heard that we can also release river lanterns and make wishes."
After hearing this, everyone thought it was a good idea and expressed their approval.
"Fuer, can we take the things with us and sell them at the same time?" Miao asked.
"If you want to take it, take it with you. You can look at it later. We'll sell it when we have the chance."
"Okay, since you all want to go, then go!" Old Master Gu made the decision helplessly, "However, we need to discuss the New Year gift packages and what to prepare for everyone. And what about the Spring Festival Gala?"
Gu Fu smiled mischievously and said, "Teach us this, and you just wait and see."
"By the way, Fuer, isn't this seven-day fun in the amusement park a bit too high-profile? It would not be appropriate if seen by other people in the valley." Grandpa Gu said worriedly.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Let's just do what we should do boldly. We can't always live in the eyes and mouths of others. Don't worry, Grandpa, your granddaughter knows what she knows, and she is sure of it. You are not afraid of them having any ideas." Gu Fu said confidently, patting his chest.
