"It seems that the Li family is very enthusiastic, are you having a good time? Is it difficult for her family, will it be bad for you to take so many gifts from others?" Mrs. Li is not a naïve Li Suyuan, so she naturally has to consider whether other people's financial difficulties are difficult.
"No, I was embarrassed to take so much, but Grandma Li and Grandpa Li and Aunt Li were all enthusiastic, and repeatedly said thank you to our family for helping them, and Sister Qiaolan also thanked our family for helping his brother, saying that his family is not difficult. Grandpa Li was very enthusiastic and made a lot of vegetables for me to bring back, saying that they were very fresh in his own field. By the way, they also asked me to carry a bag of rouge rice back and give it to my grandmother and grandfather to taste, they grew it themselves, and I saw that my grandmother was usually reluctant to eat it, so I brought it back. Li Suyuan was a little afraid to bow her head, she really knew that rouge rice was very precious, and his family also spent money to buy it back, and it was not always possible to have this rice, she wanted to take it back to honor the elders.
There are some good things, and my grandmother is reluctant to eat them, so she has to leave her a bowl, and when she sees them, she naturally wants to bring them back.
"Did her family really say that it was not difficult? Have you made a serious observation, and you will believe it when they say it is not difficult? His family is grateful to our family and is a kind peasant family, but we cannot increase the burden on others. Do you know how expensive rouge rice is, maybe people sell it? You are reckless this time, I know that you have filial piety, my mother is very pleased, but some things still have to be thought again. "Mrs. Li is still a little dissatisfied, the Li family gave all their gifts to repay their gratitude, but Suyuan shouldn't have taken so much, it's a bit too much, and it's not thoughtful.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Li must bring it with me, saying that she will honor the old man for her, and their rice is not sold, it is all reserved for the elderly and children. Said that his family is not difficult, let me thank you, I have time to invite you to play at home, and gave grandpa his own wine, and Sister Qiaolan bought a tea garden for his fiancé to take care of, let me bring the tea back to my grandmother and grandfather to taste, I see that they are very hospitable, the family situation is really not difficult for me to dare to take gifts, Sister Qiaolan is very grateful, and I can't find a chance to repay us, desperately stuff me with gifts. Li Suyuan was reprimanded by her mother, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to monkey her grandmother, so she stood up and explained seriously.
When the old lady heard this, she did not say a word.
At this time, the maid came in, "Old lady, the kitchen said that the dishes brought back by the lady are very good, beautiful and fresh, but unfortunately the duck and roast goose are a little cold, but the taste should be good, and I said that I will make it for you to taste in the evening." By the way, the slave maid has also sorted out the gifts, do you want to bring them in, you can see, the Li family is really enthusiastic, and there is really no shortage of things. Even the butler got good wine. ”
The old lady nodded slightly, "It seems that it is really not difficult, and life is not bad." Forget it this time, you have to be cautious in the future, you must know that the peasant family is not as good as us, the income is limited, and you must learn to be considerate of others. ”
"Yes. Li Suyuan looked at her mother cautiously, and when she saw that she glared at her and no longer blamed, she smiled and grinned.
"This is a gift from Miss Li, and the slave didn't dare to open it when she smelled the fragrance. The maid carefully held a beautiful bamboo carved box and presented it.
Mrs. Li knocked on the box and nodded with a smile, "Mother, you see that this girl is very clever, isn't this box very elegant." ”
The box was carved by Qiaolan and asked her father to do it, it is not very exquisite, but it can also be eye-catching, Li Qingshan likes to do this when he has nothing to do, although it is not as good as the master, but the craftsmanship is still okay.
"Well, it's good-looking, decent, very elegant, I also smell the fragrance, open it and let me see, I'm rare, I'm hungry when I hear her. The old lady laughed too.
Mrs. Li personally opened the box, which was carefully packaged, and also wrote a note, which contained several pieces of incense cakes with different flavors for incense, and a few bottles of flower water also wrote how to use precautions, as well as two exquisite purses and two double-sided embroidered handkerchiefs, as well as two packets of fragrant balls with different flavors, wrote their own recipes and methods, and respectfully asked the ladies to check it.
"Look how carefully this kid is, it's so clear. Mrs. Li smiled.
The old lady took it and looked at them one by one, and also showed a knowing smile, "This child is very cautious and careful, and she is really a good girl." This plum flavor is for me, isn't it?"
"Yes, the orchid flavor is for my mother, and this rosin is for my grandfather and father, and it can be used in the study to refresh the mind. The herbs were all dug up and transplanted by Sister Qiaolan's brother from the mountains. And the incense balls are made according to the recipe in the book given by my mother, and I said that I should take it back and ask my mother to check it to see if she did it right, and the flower water was given to me for me to reward, but I used a little bit of it, and I used it myself without rewarding. "Li Suyuan used it very well and moisturizing, and she was reluctant to give a reward, so she kept it all private.
"Oh, is it really that good? Give me a bottle and I'll try it too." "Mrs. Li knows that her daughter is very picky, so she trusts her vision.
"It's easy to use, you can try it, and grandmother will have a bottle too." Li Suyuan smiled flatteringly at her grandmother.
"Okay. You've taken so many gifts from others, have you figured out how to return the gifts? Don't you still want to play?"
"Hehe-hee! I thought about it when I came back, Sister Qiaolan's calligraphy and painting are very outstanding, I found that she bought a lot of paper to copy books for her nephews, she still has a lot of books in her house, although it is not as good as our library, but I found that she read the books herself, but the old books that should be bought are taken back to copy, I think I will pick out some good books to give to her next time, she must be happy, although her books are old books, they are all cute, rearrange the skin, put them neatly, and put incense balls for fear of insects. ”
"Well, that's a good idea. Don't just pick one, you can pick two books in all aspects, and take one copy if there is a good pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, even if she doesn't need his nephew, it is not easy to train a student in a cold family, we can help it, there is a saying called don't bully the poor boy, you must know that your grandfather was also from a poor family. ”
"Yes, I understand, I'll bring them over in a few days, pick a good inkstone, get some ink ingots, Qiaolan's ink ingots are not bad, it seems that she really likes it, she painted a lot of paintings, I took two and came back to show you, the paintings are really good." Li Suyuan admires capable people the most, and admires Qiaolan's tenacity and self-improvement.
"Oh, I'll take a look. "The old lady was interested.
Li Suyuan went to get Qiaolan's paintings and brought them over to the old lady to admire, the two paintings have different styles, but they both have their own characteristics and charm.
One is the landscape painting of Daqing Mountain, with the characteristics of the peach garden of the farmer, and the other is the painting of gongbi, which paints the most beautiful scene in the courtyard of the city, among which the most colorful scenery of the flowers, the flowers are also several precious peonies that the old man personally takes care of, this is the medicine so the old man is afraid that he will not do well in learning martial arts, so he personally ran over to take care of it.
"It's really good, it's good!" the old lady looked and looked, her eyes were full of admiration and admiration, this child had indeed worked hard, and she also had talent and understanding, no wonder her granddaughter liked her so much, she was indeed outstanding.
