NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 1554 - Boring new year
Gu’s New Year is very boring.
Just because there are too many people and all of them have different thoughts, such a large group of people gather for a reunion dinner, it is hard to say how affectionate, but it is the customary rule of the Gu family from generation to generation, like a ritual.
As the head of the family, Gu Liang naturally couldn’t leave the table to deal with all kinds of distant relatives and neighbors.
Older relatives always have to lean on the old and sell old people in front of him, and usually pass by in a perfunctory way. However, they have to stay a little bit affectionate during the New Year and New Years, and listen to these people with patience and irritability.
Gu Liang’s mother didn’t like Chinese New Year either.
Because she can only sit in the most partial position with Mrs. Gu’s mistresses, just like the concubine room of the old age, even if her son is now the head of the family, she still has no status and can’t sit in the position of Mrs. Gu.
As for Tangtang, it’s even more boring…
Gu Liang was obviously sitting next to her, and there was no time to accompany her. He sat here dryly for most of the day. Not only did he fail to talk a few words, but even the food was just picked for her once.
This kind of boringness lasted until nine o’clock in the evening before they left the old house by car.
Tangtang complained in the car: “I don’t want to celebrate the New Year anymore. I don’t mean anything at all. They are all people I don’t know. I have to come over to laugh, come over to talk…”
Mother Gu was also startled at first. When she heard her complaining, she couldn’t help but snorted and said, “In seven or eight days, there will be a spring banquet. Every hostess will do it. This year I will come to Zhang Luo. I’ll learn a little bit, and I’ll change you next year!
“I won’t go, I’m boring to death.” Tangtang replied with a curled mouth.
“Neither go here nor go then, what do you want to do? Are you not sociable anymore? Unpaid?” Gu Mu got angry when she heard Tangtang’s words.
Gu Liang opened his mouth: “Mom, this year’s spring banquet doesn’t need to be a big deal. Zimo and I may go out of town.”
Mother Gu was slightly stunned: “Going to another place? Where are you going?”
“I don’t know yet.” Gu Liang said lightly, “Let’s watch it then.”
Hearing his uncertain tone, it seemed that he was going to travel, but he didn’t think about what attractions to visit.
Gu’s mother opened her mouth to ask him when to leave, can’t she wait until the spring banquet is over? Then I thought about the temper of the elder son. If he didn’t want to say it, it would be useless to ask, and Gu’s mother didn’t bother to ask.
New Year’s Eve passed so peacefully.
After the New Year, people began to pay Gu Liang New Year greetings one after another.
Tong Wu also came down to pay the New Year’s greetings on behalf of a group of men and brought two amulets. It is said that he had gathered 399 brothers, and each of them went to the temple to kowtow. After 399 kowtows, he asked for these two amulets.
After returning from the cruise ship, Gu Liang’s subordinates had a great change in Tangtang, so these two amulets are Gu Liang and Tangtang alone.
The amulet is a yellow talisman folded into a triangle.
Tangtang squeezed it in his hand, feeling nothing special. Taking advantage of Gu Liang’s attention, he secretly opened it and took a look. There were some ghost symbols on the yellow paper.
She frowned, looked horizontally, vertically, or obliquely. She couldn’t recognize what was written on it.
“Someone writes even uglier than me…”
Gu Liang heard her murmur, shook his head with a chuckle, took the paper out of her hand and folded it again.
“Don’t break it, this is for safety.”
Tangtang stared and asked: “Just such a piece of paper, can you keep it safe?”
Gu Liang said: “This paper contains everyone’s blessings for you, which have different meanings.”
Tangtang thought for a while, found a servant, and asked the servant to buy her a dozen of these yellow papers.
