The three wet nurses packed their bags and took the silver given to them by Gu Yunxi, and were sent back to their respective homes by He Dachun himself in a horse-drawn carriage.

The matter of the wet nurse is completely over.

The three sons were usually taken care of by Xiao Cui, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Dong. Gu Yunxi was planning to find a few servants to take care of Kai and the others after he returned to the capital after discussing with her when he saw them.

In the afternoon, Gu Yunxi had nothing to do, so he asked He Dachun's wife to prepare some New Year gifts. He and Lu Jianchuan drove back to Tangdongpo Village with Gu Yunle.

This time, they didn't go to the old Gu family at all, but went straight to Boss Gu's new house.

Boss Gu was walking in the spacious tiled yard with the support of Mrs. Lin. He was very happy to see the sisters Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunle coming back.

"Dad, Aunt Lin." Gu Yunxi shouted with a smile, and Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunle also followed suit.

Lu Jianchuan handed over the New Year gift in his hand and said, "This is a little New Year gift prepared by my family. Aunt Lin, please take it in first."

Mrs. Lin was in a good mood and didn't bother to be polite with them. She moved the New Year gifts back into the house.

Soon, she came out again and invited Gu Yunxi and others to come in and sit down.

"Yunxi, Yunle, I have reserved rooms for you. Do you want to go and have a look?" Mrs. Lin was very happy and spoke to them with a smile.

Gu Yunxi had always thought that the stepmother he had chosen personally had a good temper. Seeing how happy she was, he couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so he stood up and followed her to see the room.

Seeing her sister leave, Gu Yunle followed her to see the room.

Lu Jianchuan stayed and had tea with Boss Gu, and the two looked at each other in silence.

Madam Lin took Gu Yunxi and her sister and pointed to the spacious wing next to the main house and said, "This room on the south side is for you, Yunxi."

"This room on the north side is reserved for Yunle. Yunle, your father said that you probably won't be back until New Year's Eve, right? When you come back, our family will make dumplings for you!"

Madam Lin was very enthusiastic, so Gu Yunle wanted to refuse, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he just looked at Gu Yunxi.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, Yunle will probably eat at our house before coming back. You can just cook for you and Dad then."

Mrs. Lin was stunned when she heard this, but soon smiled and nodded without saying anything.

She knew clearly that the people of the old Gu family treated the sisters Yunxi and Yunle in the same way before, and Yunxi had no choice but to take Yunle to the Lu family. Later, they probably got used to it, and Yunle became a member of the Lu family.

She was just a stepmother and had never raised Yunxi and Yunle for a single day. But now, thanks to Yunxi, she could live in such a spacious blue brick and tile house. She was so grateful that she couldn't express it.

Since Yunxi and Yunle are happy, let them be.

"Yun Le, when you come back on New Year's Eve, I will light the stove for you in advance so that the house will be warm when you come back and you can sleep well." Madam Lin said with a smile.

Gu Yunle was infected by her smile, and smiled at her and nodded: "Aunt Lin, thank you for your help."

"It doesn't matter whether it's troublesome or not. These are the only things I can do. I can't do anything else and can't help you." Mrs. Lin was very happy but a little embarrassed.

After looking at the room, Mrs. Lin brought the Gu Yunxi sisters out and chatted with Boss Gu for a while.

Seeing that her father and Madam Lin were fine, Gu Yunxi was thinking about going to the Yuan family and the village chief's house to give New Year gifts. She smiled and said to Madam Lin, "Aunt Lin, how about you come with me to the village chief's house to give New Year gifts?"

Her father was not fully recovered yet and could not walk too far, so she asked Madam Lin to go with him so that she could make her presence felt in front of the village chief and let the village chief's family know that the New Year gift was sent by the eldest branch of their Gu family.

In the future, if Boss Gu and Madam Lin have any problems in the village, the village chief can take care of them.

As soon as Mrs. Lin heard what Gu Yunxi was planning, she quickly smiled and nodded in agreement. She refilled Boss Gu’s tea before following Gu Yunxi and the others out the door.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Mrs. Lin was very considerate. She handed the New Year gift to the village chief's wife with a smile and started chatting with her.

The village chief's wife also had a good impression of Mrs. Lin, and the two chatted animatedly. Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan talked to the village chief about the drought.

"Fortunately, the drought is over. Thanks to the few abandoned ancient wells in our village, there is still some water in them, which helped the villagers get through the drought."

"Other villages are not so lucky. I heard that in the Liantang Village next to us, several people died of thirst." The village chief couldn't stop shaking his head.

Gu Yunxi also sighed. She could take care of the people in the capital, but not the people here. Sigh...

After chatting with the village chief for a while, Gu Yunxi stood up to say goodbye and prepared to go to Yuan's house.

The Yuan family was not far from the village chief's house. When Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan arrived, Gu Yunle had already arrived and was talking to Yuan Gangzi.

When the Yuan family saw Gu Yunxi bringing Lu Jianchuan over, they entertained them warmly. They prepared tea and laid out fruits and vegetables.

Gu Yunxi looked at the brand new teacups and smiled. Before, the Yuan family didn't even have a teacup. If they had arranged all of them, as well as those fruits, most rural families would not be willing to buy these things to entertain guests.

Even if there were distinguished guests at home, the most they would do was to make a bowl of sugar water, which was already very good.

It seems that the furniture shop business is indeed good, and the living conditions of the Yuan family have also improved, so the Yuan family is willing to spend money on these things.

"Yunxi, I just heard from Yunle that you just came back last night. Why don't you take a rest today? You can come over when you have time." Aunt Yuan said with a smile.

"You are such a jerk. We are not like other people. Why do you bring so many things to our house? It must cost a lot of money, right?"

Aunt Yuan felt very sorry when she saw several wooden boxes, a bag of flour and a piece of bacon on the table.

There are so many things. Even if she went back to her parents' home, she wouldn't buy so many. Yun Xi is such a naive child!

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunt, we are not strangers, so please don't be polite to me."

"These things are not worth much money. They are our family's gift. They are just what we need during the holidays."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Yuan family was very grateful. The family was already busy making furniture, and they had no time to go to the town to buy rice and flour to prepare New Year gifts for relatives.

The fruits and vegetables on the table were brought to them by a guest who came to visit the furniture workshop. The set of teacups and tea leaves were brought back by Gangzi, who said he would keep them at home and use them to entertain distinguished guests.

Aunt Yuan didn't know what to say, so she had to accept the New Year gift and thought about what gift to give to the Lu family in return.
