Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 17 Chinese New Year

"I'll listen to you. Sister is so good to us, we must not be ungrateful."

After the meal was ready, Gu Yao went outside and said to her mother and the others, "Mom, Dad, Second Dad, Third Dad, come here quickly, let's set off fireworks."

She copied several books about fireworks and asked her friends to buy them for her. Qian Xiumin had a way to sell fireworks, and she thought that it would be a shame if there were no fireworks since it was New Year's Day.

I spent several taels of silver to buy some small fireworks, planning to set them off during the New Year.

Gu Yun and the others looked over curiously: "Sister, what is this? It feels a bit strange. I have never seen it before."

"These are the fireworks I bought from my classmate. She said she would set them off during the Chinese New Year. It's evening now, so it's a good time to set them off. They'll be beautiful. Just wait for them."

Gu Yao put the fireworks on the ground, took a lighter and lit them. After a while, the fireworks exploded into the sky, which was very beautiful.

"Ayao, this is the fireworks you mentioned. I've seen them in the county before. I thought I would never have the blessing to see them in my lifetime, but I didn't expect to see them on my daughter. You are really promising. You can actually buy fireworks."

As the fireworks went off, the neighbors on both sides came out to see the fireworks and were amazed.

"These are fireworks, right? Could it be that the Gu family bought them? I didn't expect that I could actually buy fireworks. I'm so blessed now that I can actually see the fireworks set off by the rich people in this town."

"It was originally bought by the Gu family, otherwise why would it be placed in front of their house? It seems that Gu Yao is really rich."

The people from the Zhao family who lived next door to Gu Yao were also amazed and envious of this scene. After all, not everyone could afford fireworks. A small firework cost several taels of silver. With that few taels of silver, they could live for a whole year.

Gu Yun and his friends also saw the fireworks and became even more envious of them. They used to think that it was enough for them to have good food and clothes, but they didn't expect to be able to see the fireworks. They thought that they must build good relationships with them next time, and it would be great if they could get some benefits from them.

Gu Yao and her family ignored other people's gossip and went to observe mourning after watching the fireworks. After staying up all night, Gu Yao couldn't bear it anymore in the middle of the night and had to go to bed. She slept all night until dawn. Today is New Year's Day and the villagers will greet each other.

The villagers used to look down on the Gu family. After all, there was no benefit in paying New Year's greetings to the Gu family. But they were from the same village after all, and Gu's mother was a good person so no one looked down on them too much.

This year is different. Many children come to Gu’s house to wish everyone a happy new year early in the morning.

Mother Gu was also very happy to see so many children. After all, the more representatives there were, the more popular their Gu family would be.

Father Gu and the others quickly took out some fruits and some small candies, which were all bought by Gu Yao in town.

But what I bought was considered cheap. After all, I couldn’t afford expensive things, so some cheap candies were okay.

No matter how cheap the candies were, they were very popular in the village. The children were especially shocked and excited to see so many candies. They thought that Aunt Gu’s family was so kind that they actually gave them candies.

These children all had a handful of melon seeds, peanuts, and a few candies in their hands. These were nothing to the Gu family and were not enough to cause any serious harm.

They have made a fortune this year, so they must prepare good New Year goods so that the villagers will pay attention to them.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the second day is the day to go back to the natal family. Gu and Xiao Gu are also in Gujia Village, but they are not blood relatives. They just have the same surname.

Lei took Gu Ying back to the nearby Leijia Village. In the past, they seldom went back to her parents' home because they were too poor to afford any gifts and would be looked down upon.

Things are different now. The family has money now, and Gu's mother has prepared gifts for them to take back to her parents' home. Lei happily took Gu Ying back to Leijia Village, and Gu's mother took Gu Yao and the others back to Gu's home.

Gu and Little Gu are brothers. They received a warm welcome as soon as they came back. After all, the Gu family is rich now, so the Gu family also wants to maintain good relations with them.

When the Gu family was poor in the past, Gu's parents also helped them several times. Gu's mother saw it all, so the gifts this time were very generous. After all, she also wanted to repay them.

"Ade, we are successful now. We are famous people in our village. You must train Ayao well. If your family doesn't have much money, I have some. You can let her study and get a good reputation.

Gu's maiden family lived in Gujia Village. Although they were not very wealthy, they were much better off than the previous Gu family. Moreover, they got married to Gu's mother because Gu's father chose her first. After all, Gu's mother was very capable.

However, Gu's mother's parents were ill before, which ruined the family's fortune, and Gu Yao never recovered after growing up.

Gu Yao was a big spendthrift, and she liked to drink in town, so all the family's money was spent on drinking. Fortunately, the current Gu Yao traveled through time and space, so that the Gu family can now have enough food and clothing.

Mother Gu felt warm at heart when she heard her mother-in-law's words, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, we still have money for A Yao's studies. If it's really not enough, I will ask for it. Before, when the family couldn't make ends meet, it was you who helped us. Thank you, mother."

Aunt Gu waved her hands and said, "It's nothing. We are a family, and Ayao is also my granddaughter. If I don't treat her well, how can I treat others well?"

Aunt Lu's grandchildren looked at Gu Yao with envy. After all, although they were better off than the previous Gu family, they still had no money to go to school.

Now, looking at Gu Yao, a scholar, he admired her very much, but he didn't dare to get close to her, after all, she was a famous person in the village.

Gu Yao and her family stayed at Gu's house for a whole day and did not return until almost evening, while Lei and her family had already returned.

After all, it was in the next village, and there were many people in the Lei family. Although his parents warmed him up after he returned, the others were too enthusiastic.

He didn't stay at home for long. After lunch, he came back with Gu Ying.

The Gu family doesn't have many relatives. Except for their maternal families, all other relatives are not around. However, Gu's mother still took Gu Yao to visit those Gu family members who were not beyond the five generations of mourning. In particular, the family of Village Chief Gu gave them many gifts.

They can live well in the Gu family because Village Chief Gu takes good care of them, so Mother Gu cannot allow herself to be ungrateful.

Gu Yao also went to visit relatives in Linjia Village with her mother. Although she did not see her two husbands, Gu Yao was very happy about the Lin family's enthusiasm. After all, they would become in-laws in the future, and it would not be good if they were too cold.

As soon as the year was over, Gu Yao returned to the private school. The imperial examination was coming soon, so she had to accumulate knowledge well and prepare for the examination to become a student. Even if she could not pass the examination to become a scholar, she must get the title of student.

Although being a Tongsheng does not have many benefits, at least it is quite useful in Gujia Village. Moreover, being a Tongsheng also represents his entry into the ranks of scholars, and his family can be considered to have changed their status.
