Cannot import javascript file in Gulpfile

I try to use function from another Javascript file in my Gulpfile, but cannot make it work so far.

The file I need to access in Gulpfile: 

var hello = function(){
   console.log('Hello')
}

And the way I require it in my Gulpfile:

var tools = require('./public/js/tools.js'); 
gulp.task('create_subscriptions', function(){
    tools.hello();
});

tools.hello() is not a function is triggered.

What do I do wrong here?

Edit

I did

module.exports = {
    hello: hello()
};

Whats the difference wit exports.hello = hello?

You didn't export anything from your module. Local variables are not exposed, you need to explicitly mark them as public.

exports.hello = hello;

hello: hello()

You have () after the variable holding the function. You are calling it and assigning the return value (which is not a function) to your hello property.
