My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! Chapter 624

....
624 Who gave you the gloves?
There were quite a lot of river lanterns in the bamboo basket. Gu Hui and Meng Meng played with the lanterns. They did not have many wishes, just hoping that their days would get better.
Gu Xin had a lot of wishes, from everyone in the second branch to everyone in the old mansion, then to brother Yuanyuan, second brother Xue, and finally to the child prodigy Huo, Qianqian.
Little cutie Gu si did not have any big wishes. She only hoped that through her hard work, she would not let her brother catch up, and that she would not fall too far behind her sisters and be despised.
Gu en’s wish now was not to be with Yingying every day. He only hoped that he could complete the devil second uncle’s task. He hoped that he could grow up quickly and share his second uncle’s endless experience of raising children. At the same time, he also hoped that his second uncle and aunt would quickly give birth to a son so that his second uncle could take care of his own son!
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu sat together, not writing anything. They put the lantern into the stream and watched as it drifted away.
Huo Junhao only had one wish. He hoped that he could surpass second uncle Gu by a little during the Academy exam, even if it was just by a little. Unfortunately, his lantern flipped over the moment it was placed in the river.
Huo Junhao buried his face in his hands. He was afraid that his wish would not come true.
That night, when Gu Nian returned home, she found two things on her desk that did not belong to her. One of them was a box with a letter from li Muyan. The letter did not contain any ambiguous content. It only wished Gu Nian a Happy Birthday and introduced the gift in the box to her.
Li Muyan had originally wanted to make a large Kong Ming Deng, but since the last time, he had been continuously injured and didn’t have the time, so he couldn’t give this gift.
He also apologized for not being able to surprise Gu Nian with everyone because he could not spend the night outside. If he did, something terrible would happen. His life was more important. He promised Gu Nian that he would spend every birthday with her after his bad luck was over.
Gu Nian felt that there was a hidden meaning behind his words. After some thought, she decided to make it clear to li Muyan that she had no intention of getting into a relationship at the moment.
The other item did not have much packaging. It was just a pair of gloves. It was cool to the touch and very comfortable to wear. If she wore it for some experiments, it would be much more convenient than cloth gloves. She quite liked this gift, but she did not know who gave it to her.
The next day, she asked around the house, but no one had given her gloves. She decided to ask li Muyan the next time she saw him.
Li Muyan’s letter had mentioned the gift in the box but he didn’t mention anything about the gloves. She wasn’t sure if li Muyan had given it to her.
……
After Gu Nian had reached marriageable age, matchmaker Chen had come to Gu Nian’s house twice to propose marriage.
To be honest, the Gu family’s second branch was still quite low-key. Everyone thought that they had only made money by selling vegetable recipes and the washing and protection suits. However, considering the coming-of-age ceremony and the carriages that came from the village, they were really rich and Noble. This made the villagers realize that the Gu family was probably different from before.
There were really two families who asked matchmakers Chen to come to propose marriage.
However, matchmaker Chen said that they didn’t even like Li Zheng’s family. Do you think their family wants to marry their child to someone from the village?
Matchmaker Chen was very kind. She knew many people in the town and county, so she went to ask Cai Xiaolian.
The second time she came, Cai Xiaolian said that she didn’t plan to talk about marriage for the time being. She wanted to wait until her child’s father’s exam was settled.
It was just an excuse, but matchmaker Chen believed it and didn’t come to disturb him again.
In the seventh month, the Gu family also did one more thing, and that was to buy a Manor.
