When they saw each red packet containing a hundred silver taels, the two sisters were quite surprised, but they refrained from commenting. Instead, Zhou Ying focused her attention on the boys, urging them to dedicate themselves to their studies.
Just then, Gu Ziyi came in, carrying a child. Gu Ziyi smiled warmly. “It’s been a few years since we’ve seen each other. You look more mature and settled now, but you haven’ t aged a bit!”
“Sister, you flatter me,” Zhou Ying replied. “Please, come and sit down.” Her gaze then landed on the child. “Is this the little one you and my brother-in-law had later?” She inquired after Gu Ziyi had settled in.
“That’s right,” Gu Ziyi confirmed. “His name is Zhangjinsong. Come on, great your aunt.”
“Greetings, Aunt,” Zhang Jinsong echoed with a smile.
“There you go, a good boy,” Zhou Ying patted him. She then observed him closely. “You resemble your father quite a bit. You have the build for martial arts.”
With that, she called Huanhuan and Lele over, handing each of them a red packet containing one hundred taels of silver.
“Huanhuan’s not a child anymore,” Zhou Ying remarked. “Has a wedding been arranged yet?”
“Yes, actually,” Gu Ziyi responded. “She’s betrothed to the son of County Magistrate Bai, Bai Jingping. Their wedding is scheduled for April.” “Magistrate Bai? The son of Bai Jingping?” Zhou Ying echoed in surprise.
“There’s no need to put on airs,” Zhou Ying scoffed. “Besides, I prefer a more simple life. Speaking of which, is your brother-in-law still working as a constable?”
“Yes, he is,” Gu Ziyi replied. “It’s not the most prestigious position, but it allows us to be together as a family every day, and that’s what truly matters.” “Absolutely,” Zhou Ying agreed.
They continued chatting for a while before Guoguo and the others returned. Gu Ziyi’s eyes immediately lit up upon spotting Third Fatty. “Oh my!” she exclaimed. “This must be your third son! Such a handsome and lively child! He’s simply adorable.”
“Tell Eldest Aunt how old you are today,” Zhou Ying instructed Third Fatty, lifting him into her arms.
“Three years old,” Third Fatty announced, holding up three fingers.
“Such a clever boy!” Gu Ziyi gushed, promptly adorning his wrist with a small silver bracelet.
She then bestowed gifts upon the other children, presenting Guoguo with a pair of pink hairpins and Chenchen with a nice inkstone.
“Thankyou, First Aunt,” Guoguo said politely, bowing in gratitude. Chenchen and Third Fatty followed suit.
“Have a seat. I’ll get some snacks for the children.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the west room and took out a plate of nuts, dried fruits, and jerky from her interspace.
“Guoguo, please help me entertain your elder cousins.”
“Yes, Mommy.” Guoguo greeted them and invited them to sit by the brick bed before making them chrysanthemum tea.
After a while, Gu Chengrui rushed back, and the siblings chatted for a while. Gu Chengrui asked,” Why didn’t brother-in-law come over today?”
