231 Receiving Red Packets for the New Year
After the fireworks, the Gu residence was about to close, so Shao Qingyuan went back.
However, when he returned home, he went straight to the roof and lay on it to listen to the continuous firecrackers in the village.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the Gu family. Unfortunately, the Gu family's house was built so high that he could only see the walls.
Not daring to light a fire? Well, if you say you don't dare, so be it.
On New Year's Eve, Shao Qingyuan lay on the roof and stayed up all night.
Early in the morning on the first day of New Year, Madam Yang put on new clothes for the two children and sat happily in front of the dressing table to put on makeup.
Previously, Gu Yundong saw that her hands were so cold that they had frostbite, so she bought frostbite cream. Later on, she even bought face cream and lip cream to prevent her skin and lips from cracking and bleeding from the cold.
Madam Yang had been using it for a while, and her face was much tenderer now.
After cleaning up, the three of them left the room and ran to Gu Yundong's room to pay their New Year greetings.
Gu Yundong held a red packet in his hand and gave one to each of them.
After dinner, she gave each of the Tong family a red packet.
Soon after, Dong Xiulan brought the three children to pay a New Year visit. Gu Yundong had prepared a lot of dried fruits, pastries, and sweets. If anyone came, Gu Yundong asked made sugar water, representing the sweetness of the New Year.
The Gu family was very lively. Many people came one after another.
Shi Dashan's family of four, Feng Daneng's family of four, as well as the people who worked in the workshop, the villagers who built her house, and other families who had connections to all came happily.
Gu Yunshu and his sister had already gone to the village chief's house to pay their New Year greetings. They were also looking for Niu Dan to play with.
On the other hand, Shao Qingyuan hadn't come.
At noon, when everyone was almost home, he came over to eat.
This was what they had agreed on at that time. He would eat breakfast at the Zeng family's house and lunch and dinner at the Gu family's house. This way, he would not be alone for the New Year.
Gu Yundong had also prepared a red packet for him. Unexpectedly, before he could take it out, Shao Qingyuan handed one to her.
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Gu Yundong blinked and heard Shao Qingyuan say, "I thought that Auntie might not remember this, so I prepared it for you. You'll have a red packet for the New Year too."
Madam Yang really did not remember that. She had even happily accepted one.
Gu Yundong's eyes burned as she looked at the redness in her palm.
This was not only the first red packet she had received in this world, but also the first she had received in her two lifetimes.
In her previous life, when she had a phone, there were indeed people in the group who sent it, but it was everyone who fought for it. The red packet that was handed to her alone was actually so precious.
Gu Yundong lowered her eyes. After a while, she looked up and smiled. "Thank you."
Later on, she went back to her room and opened it. There were ten taels of silver inside. It was actually the same as what she had prepared for him.
Gu Yundong did not know how much money Shao Qingyuan had now. During the New Year, she had given him his 10%. However, Shao Qingyuan had only taken out a banknote worth 100 taels of silver and returned the rest to her.
He said that the money was enough for him. He would leave the rest to her as an investment.
He had also bought some New Year goods during the New Year. Many of the things at home had been changed. He probably did not have much money on hand now.
Gu Yundong stuffed the ten taels of silver back into the red packet. She took out a metal box from her storage and placed the red packet inside.
There were a lot of things in the metal box. She had placed the deeds and household registrations inside.
