After Gu Qiao took revenge on Gu Ling, she hid everywhere, but Gu Ling chased her tightly, so she had to run home in the end and asked Gu Pozi and Mei Shi to help her cover.

She glanced at the kitchen, and the largest wooden basin used to hold the hanging rice cakes a few days ago stood in the corner of the wall. It was fine if she hid it underneath, but it was too obvious that Gu Ling and the others would definitely find it.

Outside the door, Gu Ling and the others' voices had already come.

"Mom, please hide under your skirt!" Gu Qiao immediately stuffed the needle and thread sieve into Mei's arms, and then got under Mei's skirt.

"Hey!" Mei was about to say something, but Gu Ling and the others rushed in.

Mei was shocked and nervous. She hurriedly hugged the needle and thread sieve to her legs and covered her bulging skirt.

"Where is the eldest aunt, grandma, Qiao'er?" Gu Ling asked hurriedly.

"Qiao'er hasn't come back." Mrs. Gu replied naturally, then frowned and asked in confusion, "Ah, why are you all here? Where are Qiao'er?"

Gu Ling frowned and swept around the kitchen with his eyes. Then he walked over and opened the wooden basin in the corner, and looked behind Chaihe. Seeing that there was really no one, he believed what Mrs. Gu said.

"Everyone comes to eat pumpkin seeds, hurry up." Mrs. Gu called them.

"Thank you, my grandmother." Gu Ling and the other two walked over, each of them grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and then thanked him and left.

Just as he walked to the yard gate, Gu Ling stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Song asked him.

Gu Xuexi looked at Gu Ling, his eyes rolled, and immediately said, "Sister Qiaoer must be in the house!"

"Why?" Gu Song looked at Gu Xuexi again, confused.

Gu Ling then replied: "If Gu Qiaoer disappeared, her uncle would definitely come out to find someone. How could he sit so steadily?"

"So Sister Qiao'er must be still in the kitchen!" Gu Xuexi replied, looking at Gu Ling.

Then, Gu Ling immediately turned around and took a step back.

Gu Qiao had just crawled out of her mother's skirt, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got up and sat on the stool, Gu Ling and the others killed him and shot him back. The few people immediately stared at each other.

"Qiao'er, you're really here!" Gu Song was shocked and looked at Gu Xuexi and the others, but unexpectedly they were guessed by these two people.

Gu Xuexi asked, "Sister Qiaoer, where did you hide just now?"

"I..." Gu Qiao was about to make excuses in chaos when she saw Gu Ling running towards her. She quickly reached out and made a "resistance" move and shouted, "Stop, don't you play anymore, right? I want to roast the fire, aren't you cold? Don't melon seeds smell good? Are you good to eat melon seeds?"

"Strange voice!" Gu Ling immediately gave her a blank look, but saw that her nose and face were red with cold, and then she saw that Gu and the others were cracking melon seeds and cracking them very fragrantly. Then she hummed and said, "Let you go! Xiaoxi, let's go! Grandma, aunt, we're gone."

Several children greeted each other and left quickly.

"So easy to talk about?" Gu Qiao was a little unbelievable, so he quickly got up and walked to the wall, looking at the yard through the gap.

It was not until she watched Gu Ling and the others leave the yard that her heart fell down.

Just as he was about to turn around, he slapped his forehead, "Oh, I forgot to fill Xiaoxi and the others with melon seeds!"

"Why are you surprised, your child? Just send it to them tomorrow." Mrs. Gu hurriedly said.

Gu Qiao bulged his cheeks and then walked over.

When I came back and sat down, I couldn't help but be scolded by Mei again. After all, the matter of getting under her skirt was too shocking.

This time, Mrs. Gu did not protect Gu Qiao, and allowed Mei to scold Gu Qiao.

Gu Qiao followed the quail and listened obediently.

As he spoke, Mei smiled, "You kid, I hope you are braver before, but who knew that you are too brave now, you are just like a boy!"

Because it was the Chinese New Year, Mei did not talk much about her. The family gathered around the stove and chatted with each other, and time quickly pointed to the midnight period.

The snow is still falling, and this Gujia Village is quiet.

Because of poverty, no one in Gujia Village set off fireworks and firecrackers.

Gu Qiao couldn't help but think of her era. When it was midnight, fireworks would be set off in the city, and gorgeous fireworks would bloom in the air to usher in the New Year.

Now the Gujia Village is quiet, but she still clearly feels the arrival of the New Year in the face of the cold wind.

"Mom, grandma, come and see, everything outside has turned white." Gu Qiao couldn't help but shout to Mrs. Gu and Mei in the room.

"The New Year is here." Mrs. Gu preached with a smile.

"It's another year." Mei smiled and turned her head, putting down the sole of her shoe in her hand.

The two of them took care of their clothes together and walked out of the kitchen.

Gu Qiao stood happily at the door of the yard, pointing to the snow-white world outside, and shouted: "Look, it's all white. When tomorrow comes, the fields and the mountains will definitely be white."

“It looks so good.”

"I haven't seen such a scene for many years."

Gu Qiao was happy in her heart, and couldn't help but put her hand to her mouth, and then shouted: "Next year I want our family to be happy and prosperous!"

Prosperous-

In the quiet night, her voice kept echoing in the mountains.

Then she turned around and said to Gu Pozi and Mei: "Mom! Grandma, happy New Year!"
