Chapter 874 - 874 New Year Gifts
Guoguo, who was still angry in the room and waiting for them to coax her, heard Gu Chengrui’s words and smelled the unique sweet taste of coconut.
She could no longer be bothered to be angry. She immediately got off the bed and jogged out.
Mrs. Lin shook her head when she saw this and continued to embroider a handkerchief.
After Guoguo came out, she saw the apple on the table and gulped. She looked at Gu Chengrui, who was eating the coconut sago with big mouthfuls, and went up to shake his leg. “Daddy, Guoguo wants to eat too.”
“It’s useless to beg me. You have to find your mother. The bowl and spoon are with her.” Gu Chengrui raised her head and said.
“Mommy.” Guoguo immediately ran over and pleaded.
“Bring a chair over yourself. Mommy will get some for you.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she stood up and scooped a bowl for her.
Guoguo immediately turned around and moved the small rattan chair that belonged to her. She climbed up and looked at Zhou Ying with her hands on the table.
Zhou Ying hugged her and sat down. “There’s no rush. Eat slowly. There’s still apples.”
After saying that, she handed her a small piece of shredded apple that was now crispy like candied haws.
It tasted sweet and sour after taking a bite.
Guoguo immediately threw her anger to the back of her head and started eating with a silly smile.
Gu Chengrui shook his head when he saw this. At the same time, he made up his mind to let her eat all the delicacies in the world. Otherwise, she would be easily baited by some pig-headed boy one day because of a delicious meal.
At night, Zhou Ying went into her interspace to check on the situation on the Western continent.
Due to her intervention yesterday, there were indeed some places that had rained. However, other than the area she had specially taken care of, the rest of it did not have much rain.
At the same time, she primarily surveyed the living conditions of the people there.
It wasn’t exactly good, but most areas still had food.
Therefore, she gave two months’ worth of food, mainly cornmeal and brown rice, to those who could no longer afford to celebrate the New Year.
Additionally, she gave out some chicken eggs and other wild eggs stocked up in her interspace, ensuring that everyone had at least two of each.
She didn’t care about the rest.
After that, the family of three had a good time in the manor for a few days. Niu Lirong and the guards also took time to use the other pool to soak themselves in the hot spring.
Before they left, everyone soaked in the hot spring once more before rushing back to the capital.
After returning to the residence, Gu Chengrui rested for a while before going to his hospital.
After Zhou Ying handed Guoguo over to Mrs. Lin, she called Niu Fugui and asked, “How has the residence been recently?”
“It’s pretty good. I received two New Year gifts from two families and returned one to each of them per your request.
“By the way, the gifts from Master’s family have also arrived. This is the list of gifts. Please take a look.” After Niu Fugui finished speaking, he gave her a list.
Zhou Ying took it and read it carefully. There were a bunch from Mr. Gu and also from the patriarch.
Mr. Gu gave her the specialties of the north and south. Among them were 50 white rabbit skins and all kinds of bacon, snacks, tea leaves, and so on.
Finally, there were some small toys for Guoguo.
As well as the core of the New Year gift, six pairs of pearl flowers.
The patriarch’s gift was much simpler. There were two sets of gold jewelry, one big and one small. He gave Gu Chengrui a set of stationery and 100 pounds of vegetable oil.
After reading it, she smiled, put the letter away, and asked. “Is there anything else?”
“Nothing else. By the way, the accounts of the various places have already begun to be summarized.
“Especially the cake shop. General Zhou said it would only be tallied until December, and today’s payment had already been settled.
“A total of 308,652 taels of silver..”
