Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gift
What else?
It's just wonderful.
Didn't you see that when Shao Nianshi said his plan, his second son, who didn't like to do farm work and liked to run out, had his eyes lit up?
This is indeed an irresistible suggestion.
The old village chief was in the eyes of his son's hope, but he only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.
Hearing the affirmative answer, Shao Manchu smiled.
Then he put forward the requirements that he had thought of a long time ago, and did not count as a request.
"It's just that, old village chief, you also know what the situation is like in my family. ”
"I probably won't bring it back to the village for many years. ”
"That brand new house, if there is no one to help take care of it, I'm afraid it will be ruined. ”
"I don't know if the village chief can let the people in the family go over and have a look from time to time. ”
"The vegetable plot behind my yard, together with the more than half an acre of wasteland reclaimed in front of me, can all be handed over to my aunts and sisters-in-law for use. ”
"It's supposed to be the reward for helping me take care of the house when I was young. ”
"Do you think it's possible?"
Okay, what's not to do?
It's just a small thing to do with your hands.
This time it was changed to the courtyard again, and the aunts outside the courtyard became earnest.
Seeing that the old village chief sighed one after another, thinking about this Shao Manho, oh, no, it was really good when Shao was young.
The matter was decided in the recognition of both parties.
By the time he returned to the courtyard of the Shao family, it was already noon.
Shao Nianshi looked at the sky, lifted the mat on the big kang he slept on weekdays, and pulled out the bricks that were a little loose on the side, and took out all the few pieces of ocean that he had obtained from Zhang Dengguan's hands.
He carefully wrapped it in cloth and put it in the pocket sewn into his underwear.
The most valuable things in this house are taken care of.
The rest ...... There was only the grain that was distributed from the Zhang family during those festivals.
It's a little unrealistic to transport these grains to Liaocheng, not to mention that the first family didn't send him a legicraft for him to pull, even if it is sent, who will go into the city to live permanently, and transport these things together?
If it had been a few days earlier, when Shao Nian was having a hard time, he would probably have transported these grains to the town's big market and disposed of them cheaply.
You can always get a few change, and it's a support on the road.
But now, Shao Nianshi has turned his chest pocket upside down, and he is full of confidence, and he doesn't need to worry too much about these bits and pieces.
Therefore, Shao Nian planned to bring these things to the homes of Granny Qian and Granny Pan in the village.
It's no wonder that Shao Nian was eccentric, firstly, he was sympathetic to the widows and orphans, and secondly, these two mothers-in-law really cherished him as their own grandsons.
But when he returned to the village from his first home, even if he stayed here for a few days, the two mothers-in-law always had gifts specially set aside for him.
Or a few pairs of socks, or a bite to eat.
There are not many things, but I really put my mind into it.
made Shao Nianshi always think about getting back some rare things for the two old men, and after coming and going, several families actually began to move around.
Now, he may not have come back all the year round, and the most valuable things left in the family should be given to the old people of these two families.
When I think of Shao Nian here, I just do what I say.
He carried all the food in the stove to the cart he borrowed from the village chief's house, and then pushed the wheelbarrow to the place where Granny Qian and Granny Pan were.
And because of these two old men, I got the news last night that this Shao Manchu was coming back, and since this morning, all the work has been moved to the gate of the courtyard to do.
The two of them leaned their heads together, talking, sewing patches in their hands, holding the soles of their shoes, and sure enough, they waited for the arrival of the Shao family boy.
When they saw that this kid pushed over a lot of things this time, the two mothers-in-law were very distressed, and one by two crutches came out of the yard, and stretched out their hands to help.
Shao Nian was afraid that the two would bump into each other again, so he hurriedly asked the two mothers-in-law to go back: "Granny Qian, Granny Pan, hurry, open the door between the stoves, things are about to be unsupportable." ”
was so frightened, these two mothers-in-law were really deceived by Shao Nianshi, and one by two was not in a hurry to rush out, but turned around and let go of the stove behind them.
After the two mothers-in-law opened the door, Shao Nianshi had already parked the wheelbarrow.
He carried a sack in one hand and stuffed all the food in the cart into the common stove room in the two courtyards.
Entering the house, Shao Nianshi looked at the grain bag that was about to be seen inside, and nodded with satisfaction.
According to the amount of food eaten by these two mothers-in-law, the rations he brought over can be eaten for a month, and I am afraid that there will be no problem.
And the mothers-in-law who came in with Shao Nianshi also saw the big money brought by the Shao family, and felt a little panicked, so they didn't dare to accept the food.
Granny Qian, who could do the main thing, pulled Shao Nian, who was still tidying up the kitchen for them, and said, "Manchu, why are you bringing so many things? Hurry up, take it back, take it back!"
But since Shao Nianshi took it, he didn't have the intention of taking it back.
He put the fine grain on the shelf of the stove, for fear of being gnawed by the ground rats, and as for the remaining potatoes and sweet potatoes, they were piled up in the corner of the few small eggs.
These things are not expensive, and they consume a lot, and it will not take two days, and before the rats can find them, the two old men will eat this coarse grain.
Now Shao Manhoard, what he cares about is the little thing left on the car, which is what he specially brought back from the big set when he came back from the three forks.
They are the most useful objects for the two old people.
Not money.
If he really gave money, then according to his current relationship with these two, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial in the future.
These two mothers-in-law can stand up in the village, and they are both women with hearts.
There is no weak rural woman who only relies on doing needlework for others and serving chickens and ducks herself, and lives a hard life.
And this kind of woman's self-esteem is particularly strong.
She is willing to associate with you, and it is also the kind of friendship that comes and goes.
If you hand over the money with straight eyebrows, not only will they not ask for it, but they still have some thoughts in their hearts.
I am afraid that the people in the village will think that the two of them saw that Shao Nian's life was better, so they got together and took advantage of it.
At that time, the two mothers-in-law went far away with him.
It's better to look like this.
Send some of the things that your mother-in-law needs to use the most.
For example, some rare and beautiful silk threads, some strong and complete silver needles to prevent pricking hands, thimbles that are necessary for the soles of shoes, and a few rare pieces of silk that are strong and practical.
