On the day of the Preliminary Eve, the brothers of the Gu family all gathered by Gu Dashi's heated brick bed.
"Did Old Seventh have someone deliver all these things?" Liu Liu and Li Xiaohua stared with gleaming eyes at the items stacked on the corner of the bed.
There was not only white flour and rice, but also half a side of pork and various pastries.
"Old Seventh has really struck it rich. So much stuff, and with just one word, he got Chief Li to make the trip for him." Li Xiaohua's tone was laced with jealousy.
"Mother! Look at all these things. Why don't you share a bit with us?" Liu Liu rubbed her hands together, itching to grab the goods and run back home with them.
Li Cuicui didn't even look up, continuing to stitch the shoe vamp in her hands. "No matter how much there is, it's my son showing his filial piety to me. It's already the Preliminary Eve today. Where are the gifts from your families?"
