Chapter 180: Eye-opening

Zhang Ze saw that Gu Zhang didn’t say anything else, so he hurriedly asked the driver to move the things inside.

Several people moved the things to the hall, and Zhang Ze said goodbye and left.

The family gathered around the things on the table in the hall with their eyes wide open.

There were four-color cakes and four red lacquer boxes on the table.

Four pieces of silk and four brocade purses.

Mrs. Chen stretched out her hand and trembled to touch a piece of brocade with a green cloud pattern on the table: “This, this is satin.”

She retracted her hand halfway: “My hands are rough, I will scratch them.”

Gu Fei opened a red brocade purse and saw a gold ingot and two silver ingots inside.

The gold ingot was made in the shape of a small fish, and the silver ingot was in the shape of a lotus, which meant that there would be a surplus every year.

Gu Sanlang looked at the side and reached out to take a small fish: “Is this gold? Why does it look like a small fish?”

Gu Fei nodded: “This is used by wealthy families to reward people during the New Year, or to give New Year’s money to children.”

Mrs. Chen took the silver ingot and looked at it carefully: “Is this silver? I didn’t expect it could be made like this, it’s really rare.”

Gu Qing laughed beside him: “Now that we have come to Ping’an City, we have opened our eyes. We never knew there were such things before.”

Li Chunhua hugged Xiao Cao and stopped her from grabbing the purse on the table: “That’s right since sister-in-law came home, our life has been getting better and better.”

Now she eats white rice and white bread every day. She didn’t dare to think that she could have had such a good life before.

No wonder, when she was a child, the blind fortune-teller passing by said that she had a good life and would marry into a rich family in the future.

Mrs. Chen liked to hear this. She smiled and said: “That’s right. My daughter is so lucky. If it weren’t for Xiao Fei’s wine, she wouldn’t have received this reward.”

She glanced at the blue brocade and said: “Husband, this satin has a good color. I’ll make you a robe to wear. You should be presentable when you face people.”

Gu Zhang waved his hand and said: “I don’t like to wear this. It’s not convenient for me to work.”

Gu Fei blinked and said: “Dad, you don’t need to wear it when you work. But when you go out to talk business with people in the future, you should wear it elegantly so that people won’t look down on you.”

Gu Zhang naturally understood this, but he just couldn’t bear to do it.

After his daughter said this, he rubbed his hands and said: “Then make one for me to wear?”

“Okay!” Gu Fei nodded with a smile.

Gu Sanlang handed the gold ingot to Gu Fei and opened the box on the table.

It was divided into several small grids, filled with various dried fruits.

Without thinking, Gu Sanlang took a peeled longan and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mrs. Chen slapped him and said: “You are a reincarnated starving ghost. How can you eat this? You have to save it for gifts.”

Gu Sanlang put the longan in his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and he said vaguely: “Mom, are you stupid? Good things should be kept for your family.”

“Just buy some for gifts.”

Mrs. Chen closed the box quickly: “It’s easy to say, but it’s free?”

Her eyes fell on the pieces of brocade again: “This pink satin is beautiful, make clothes for my daughter.”

Lanzhi quickly responded: “Auntie, I’ll make it for Xiao Fei, and make it the most fashionable style in Ping’an City now.”

“I remember the style when I bought clothes that day.”

She then pointed to another piece and said: “Aunt, this crimson purple one suits you.”

Mrs. Chen shook her head: “I don’t deserve to wear this.”

Gu Fei walked over, picked up the crimson-purple brocade, and compared it with Mrs. Chen’s body: “Mother, look, this color makes you look much whiter, you can make a set to wear, dress up more energetically, and my father will be happy to see it.”
