The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Gu Qinghuai nodded and said gently: "If you practice martial arts alone, you will not know your own shortcomings. If you have someone to practice with you, you will improve faster."

Without waiting for Ye Nu to answer, Gu Qinghuai stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Qingsong over and pushed him in front of Ye Nu, "Although Song'er is three years younger than you, he has practiced martial arts for several months and can practice with you."

Gu Qingsong knew what his third sister meant. It was to help this bitter brother integrate into the big family, so he helped.

"Ku - Brother Ye Nu, I will practice with you in the future. Although you are older than me, you may not be able to beat me," Gu Qingsong said confidently, patting his chest.

Ye Nu's competitive spirit was aroused. He looked up at Gu Qingsong and nodded, "Yeah."

"And me, even though I'm younger than you, I'm making rapid progress in martial arts," Xiaohuo said slowly.

"Yeah," Ye Nu nodded as he looked at the pretty little boy in front of him.

"Okay, let's go and play," Gu Qinghuai pushed Ye Nu into the group of children.

Gu Qingsong stood on tiptoe and put his arm on Ye Nu's shoulders, and Ye Nu did not resist.

Xiaohuo also wanted to put his arm on him, but he was too short. Even if he stood on tiptoe or jumped, he couldn't reach Ye Nu's shoulder.

Gu Qinghuai saw that Gu Qingsong was still wearing the old cotton-padded jacket, and because he had grown taller, part of his wrists and ankles were exposed.

This kid! Even though I made so many new clothes for him, he just couldn't bear to wear them. I wonder how many years he'll have to wear the one he's wearing.

As night fell, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another in Tuniu Village.

In previous years, there was no sound of firecrackers in Tuniu Village on New Year’s Eve. It was so quiet that it didn’t seem like a festive occasion. At that time, the villagers were so poor that they didn’t even have food to eat. Who would be stupid enough to buy firecrackers?

But this year, many families, because Gu Qinghuai made a lot of money, not only would they not go hungry, but they also had some spare money. In order to create a festive atmosphere, they also bought a few firecrackers.

Gu Laoer's family prepared a luxurious dinner, with everything that could fly in the sky, run on the ground, or swim in the water. There were four tables in total, and each table was served with the same dishes.

Apart from sitting at different tables, there is no difference in the food that the master and servant eat.

Polygonum multiflorum, angelica, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, coix seed, and the An family couldn't help drooling at the sight of the table full of delicious dishes.

They all feel that their lives are very happy now.

After the drinks were filled, Gu Qinghuai asked his grandparents and grandmother to talk for a few words.

Gu Guangzhi asked Nangong Yun to speak on his behalf. Nangong Yun straightened her body, smiled kindly and said, "I wish my children and grandchildren peace and health, and all relatives and friends good luck."

Zhu Meijun couldn't say words as elegant and pleasant as Nangong Yun.

She had lived for so many years and had never been so particular. She said with an unnatural expression: "Everyone eats well, drinks well, gets rich, and lives a long life!"

Everyone laughed.

The head of the family, Gu Qinghuai, picked up the wine glass, looked around, and said with a smile: "Dear family members, this year all of us in the Gu family have worked hard, strived hard, loved each other, and supported each other. Our lives are getting better and better. I hope that in the new year, we will continue to work hard, make more money, be healthy, and be safe and happy!"

Everyone was very happy and drank their glasses.

The alcohol content of wine in ancient times was not high, and since it was the New Year, no one cared.

The children drank the fruit drinks that Gu Qinghuai asked Yi Ren and Lu Yongmei to make.

After drinking, Gu Qinghuai looked at Gu Heng, "Father, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Gu Heng raised his glass and said, "I hope that in the new year, my parents and mother-in-law will be healthy; my eldest son Qingshan will get married and have a son soon; my Taoer and Huaier will live happily and find a good husband; my eldest brother-in-law and nephew Aren will also find a confidant; little Shitou will make achievements and be named Yang Wanli! The little kids will grow up healthily! All relatives and friends, may everything go as you wish!"

After Gu Heng finished speaking, Gu Qingshan and Shu Mingzheng blushed instantly, they looked at each other and quickly looked away.

Zhao Wang also looked embarrassed, his face red all the way to his neck.

He is nearly forty years old. Once bitten by a snake, he will be afraid of ropes for ten years. After having the previous woman, he was really scared and no longer had any hope of finding a wife in this life.

Qi Yuanxiu and Gu Qinghuai looked calm.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at Gu Qinghuai deeply and felt that his uncle's wish would definitely come true.

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Ying, "Yingying, do you want to say a few words?"

Zhao Ying nudged Gu Heng with her arm and said shyly, "I won't say anything. There's nothing to say. Let's be good to each other in the future. Let's eat."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and for a moment the only sounds were the chopsticks hitting the cups and plates and the sizzling sound of rice.

Halfway through the meal, Whitehead, Whitetail and Chirp suddenly flew in, and the four birds looked very anxious.

Baishou and Baiwei performed some body movements in front of Gu Qinghuai, and Gu Qinghuai's face changed, "Is there danger?"

Baishou and Baiwei nodded repeatedly.

When they went out to look for food, they found a group of people heading towards Tuniu Village. Out of curiosity, they went over to find out.

It turned out that they were actually bandits who wanted to enter Tuniu Village to rob, and specifically rob the owner's family.

The bandit leader said excitedly: "No one would have thought that we would come to the village to rob on New Year's Eve. We don't even need to prepare New Year's Eve dinner. We can eat ready-made food when we go to the village. The coolest thing is that every household has plenty of New Year's goods, just prepared for us, haha... I heard that the women there are also very pretty, brothers can have a good time when we go there!"

If they hadn't been thinking about informing their master, Baishou and Baiwei would have wanted to scratch the bandit leader and tear his mouth apart with their claws.

However, the chirping bird flew over their heads and dropped some shit on them.

Everyone at the table put down their chopsticks, except Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, coix seed, Polygonum multiflorum, Chinese angelica, and the An family who had never taken the Da Li Wan and were a little panicked. Everyone else looked calm, including the children.

There was even excitement flashing in the eyes of Gu Qingsong, Xiaohuo, Gu Qingya and Gu Qingmiao.

Qi Yuanshuo and Gu Qinghuai looked at each other and said, "Don't worry, I'll go over and take a look at the situation. Uncle Cui, take your weapons and get ready."

Boss Cui responded with a "yes".

"I'm going too!" Gu Qinghuai stood up.

Qi Yuanshuo nodded, and the two of them walked out of the house together.

"Be careful!" Zhao Ying shouted behind them.

Gu Qinghuai and Qi Yuanshuo rode on horses and were brought to the mountain road west of the village by Baishou and Baiwei.

The two men dismounted and hid behind a small hill. Qi Yuanshuo took out a telescope.

In the white snowy night, a group of people, about one or two hundred people, were sneaking towards Tuniu Village.

"It's bandits!" Qi Yuanshuo whispered.

Gu Qinghuai frowned: "Tuniu Village is the poorest village nearby, why did the bandits come straight to our village?"

Qi Yuanshuo chuckled: "Sister Xiaohuai, that was in the past. Now, the news of your family's sudden wealth may have been known by many people with bad intentions."
