Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Chapter 470: Hosting a banquet on New Year’s Eve (6)

She gently pushed the sleeping little bun with her hand and shouted in a low voice: "Pandong, get up and eat."

Gu Pandong's little face was troubled, and he opened his eyes half asleep, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Sister, I'm so sleepy, I don't want to eat."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and fell asleep again.

Seeing the faint cyan color under his eyes, Gu Panxia's heart ached slightly, and she couldn't bear to wake him up anymore.

The next morning.

New Year's Eve has arrived, and the sound of crackling firecrackers can be heard from all directions in Yuehe Village, making the village full of joy.

On the snow outside the house, there were several children, wearing heavy winter clothes, chasing and playing on the snow.

Gu Panxia got up early, cooked breakfast with Ms. Zhou and Mrs. Song, and then moved out the meat and vegetables that Xu Wen had ordered to bring back early in the morning.

At this time, everyone from the Jiang family had arrived, and people from the village were also arriving one after another.

Mrs. Zhao said while cracking melon seeds: "Oh, this is my first time celebrating the New Year at someone else's house."

Looking at the meat and vegetables piled in front of the yard, she swallowed unconsciously.

Although every family in Yuehe Village has a lot of income this year, they are used to being thrifty and are reluctant to spend lavishly even during the Chinese New Year.

This year's New Year's Eve was very special. In Yuehe Village, except for a few families who did not have a good relationship with Gu Panxia, ​​everyone else came.

Gu Panxia took out a long and wide oilcloth and asked someone to tie it up in front of the yard to build a shed.

The men are helping to kill pigs and sheep, while the women are responsible for choosing vegetables.

When a group of women get together, there is always gossip, and some lower their voices, start the train quietly, and then laugh loudly.

Gu Panxia stood in the yard, the corners of her lips raised slightly.

Someone brought a shovel and shoveled away the snow in the yard. They also moved a few big rocks and built a few simple stoves. They washed the bad things borrowed from each family, then put them on top and put in the water. The pork and mutton chopped into large pieces were thrown in one after another.

The dry firewood in the woodshed was all taken out by Gu Panxia from the space and piled up all over the room.

At this time, Dongxue hurried over and announced: "Miss, people from the Zhou family are here."

Gu Panxia nodded, "You help here, I'll pick them up."

Dongxue nodded and walked to Chunyan, Qiuyue and Xia Lian to help wash the pots and dishes.

As soon as Gu Panxia arrived at the door, the Zhou family was about to enter.

Zhou Jian smiled and said, "Pan Xia, why are you here?"

Gu Panxia raised her lips and smiled, "I heard from Dongxue that you guys are here, so I came to take a look."

Mr. Hao glanced at her strangely, "It's not like we don't know the way. In this cold weather, we still came out and carefully soaked up the wind and cold."

Gu Panxia smiled nonchalantly and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm in good health! Everyone, come in quickly."

Everyone in the Zhou family nodded and followed her into the yard.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard from outside the courtyard. Through the open courtyard door, Gu Panxia saw Lu Yuan in white in front of the carriage.

He had a handsome face, a smile on his lips, and his bright black eyes looked at her gracefully, full of tenderness.

The women who were choosing vegetables in the yard naturally noticed him and started whispering to each other.

A woman envied her and said, "The eldest girl of the Gu family is really amazing. Not only did she start her own business, but she also became Master Lu's fiancée. If my daughter had the same luck, I would rather live ten years shorter!"

"You, don't be envious. Look at the little girl Gu, and then look at your daughter. Can she compare?"

Someone listened and covered his lips and chuckled.

The woman didn't refute after hearing this, she just glanced at the smiling people with a slightly dissatisfied look.
