Chapter 22: Boxing Gifts (2)

Li Zhu approached the hall and saw Mama Li making jujube cakes in the kitchen. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Countrymen are more frugal, and generally housewives who are good at home will make their own cakes for the Chung Yeung Festival. Deng and Li Zhu asked Uncle Zhang to help buy it this time because Deng was in confinement and it was not suitable to work on the ground, which was a sign of Li Zhu's sympathy for Deng.

Mama Li saw Li Zhu carrying a fish and something wrapped in red paper, snorted with her nose, didn't say anything, and turned her head to continue making jujube cakes.

Li Zhu entered the wing room and saw that the old man was sitting in the hall smoking, Li Zhu put the festival on the table of the hall and said: "Dad, tomorrow Chongyang, we just split up this year, and we have a little festival at hand, this is our family's festival, just want to celebrate." Old Man Li raised his head, nodded, and said, "Just let it go." "Hey" Li Zhu responded, put down the courtesy, Li Zhu wanted to go back to the room, and was about to open his mouth, Old Man Li looked at Li Zhu and said, "I heard that your daughter-in-law and eldest brother have taken the exam." Li Zhu nodded and said, "Yes." ā€

Old Man Li knocked on the cigarette stick and said: "This is a major event for the glory of the ancestors, although the family that has just been divided, your family is tight at this time, and the congratulatory gift still has to be arranged." Li Zhu continued: "I have entrusted Uncle Zhang to send the congratulatory gifts and gifts, and I don't pay attention to anything, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and eldest brother also know that we have just divided the family, and they are using the money urgently." Old Man Li nodded and said, "Your in-laws are reasonable." ā€

Old Man Li looked at the kitchen and said, "Later, your mother's jujube cake is ready, you come and bring some back, the outside is not as exquisite as your mother's cooking." Li Zhu nodded casually. When Mama Li heard this, she was like a dark cloud, and she chattered: "People don't want you to have this little thing, people have a family, there are cows, sheep and a nest of chickens, and they stew chicken soup every day at home, which is not better than your little thing." God is pitiful, we have to take this cake to Dao'er to give a gift, and I am reluctant to eat it, so I will be fed to other people's daughters. ā€

Old Man Li was not happy when he heard it, and said, "Other people's daughters are also your daughters-in-law." After a pause, he said: "What kind of gift does Dao'er give, the Deng family is a serious double-lift person, and there is no such thing as a wealthy family." Alas! Ming'er is Chongyang, he won't come back this year? ā€

Mama Li lowered her head and continued to make cakes, and said: "My son is doing things in the town seriously, how many people are looking forward to him, and he doesn't give a gift gift, if something happens, you will do it?" Mama Li looked at the room, as if she could pass through the wall, and said, "Looking at you like that, you can't do anything." Can the people of the Deng family keep his position? Hmph, isn't it nice, I don't have anything now, what can I do to help. You old man, you just don't think about everything. After speaking, he raised his head proudly and said: "Look at a few sons, look at your eldest son, who can only farm, and it is a top in this Lijia Village." Look at my second son, in our village, there is a person who can speak, and Li Zheng is also allowed to give three points. When it comes to insight, you just owe something. Old Man Li lowered his head and said with a dark face: "I haven't seen the ground, you are a whole woman's opinion!" Okay, you and Li Dao will toss everything in the future, and I don't care about your business. If something really happens, I will move to Li Yu's house. But this year, this Chung Yeung Festival cake will be divided into a little to the big room and the third room, there is no reason for the parents' things to only be close to one room of the son's, the rules are clear, if you really do this, Ming'er you will wait for the spitting stars in the village to drown you. ā€

Mama Li didn't do much, only did Li Dao's gift and the second room of the family and her own two old food, as soon as she heard this, her eyes widened like the goldfish eyes, and said: "The cake I made, whoever I love to get, you have to give, you make it yourself." Li Zhu hurriedly said to Old Man Li: "Dad, we still have a few cakes at home, and the people in my room are small, this thing is angry, so it is not appropriate to eat too much of this." ā€

At this time, Old Man Li's hair stood up angrily, his breathing was short, his eyes were round, like two small balls, and his mouth was also moving, and he didn't make a sound, which was obviously because he was angry, and his mouth was also "angry".

Li Zhu hurriedly staggered his words, and talked with Mr. Li for a while, Li Zhu saw that it was late, so he was going back to the room, and Mr. Li said that he would come over early in the morning to get cakes. After Li Zhu returned to the room, he told the Deng family what the old man Li had explained, and the Deng family said: "The mother is not called, and you don't take the initiative to go over." This cake is the festival, and our family has left some of them, which is enough for us to eat. Li Zhu hurriedly said: "I think so too." ā€

Li Zhu saw that it was getting late, so he beckoned the family to have dinner and made two egg custards, which was the doctor told Binbin to have one egg custard a day, and an egg custard for Li Hai to eat and send to the pot, using the pot given by the Li family, and the Deng family ate chicken soup. Deng thought that Li Zhu was also injured and needed to make up for it, so he gave a little soup to Li Zhu. After Li Zhu cleaned up after eating, he saw that the second brother's side room was lit up, so he carried the cake to Li Dao's house to send a festival gift.

Li Dao is a show talent, when he got married, his wing room is to build a large li, there is a small hall in the middle, in order to more Li Dao usually entertains guests, the left and right sides are the wings, with the right as respect, the right is the Wang's wing, the left Wu's wing.

Li Zhu entered the wing room and saw Wang sitting on the kang in his wing room doing needlework, so Li Zhu stood in the hall and shouted to Wang's wing: "Second sister-in-law, Ming'er Chongyang, I bought some cakes in the town, take some cakes for the second brother and you to taste, the second brother is not here at this time, I put it on the table in the house." Wang looked up at Li Zhu, saw his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was like jade, he was stunned, and said in his heart, what a handsome son, the situation at home is a little worse, it's a pity that this good skin bag. Wang was too embarrassed by Li Zhu, nodded and lowered his head to continue to do his own needlework.

Li Zhu has also been accustomed to the attitude of the second room family towards himself in recent years, and he left by himself after putting down the paper bag, he thought to himself, how can giving gifts be as boring as self-deprecation?

Wu heard the voice coming out of the left wing room and beckoned: "Zhu'er, come here, come and drink saliva." Have you eaten this dinner? The second sister-in-law gave you hot heat, we have a lot of dishes tonight, and there is some red meat. Li Zhu hurriedly shook his head and said that he had eaten. Wu asked Li Zhu to wait, and took out a small cloak sewn from different small rags from his own room. The small pieces of cloth are octagonal, the edge is evenly handled, the stitches are evenly dense, and the blue is the mainstay, just because of the homonym "block" of "blue", people think that as long as there is a blue cloth block, the demons and monsters will not take away the meaning of the child. Wu handed it to Li Zhudao: "Children should wear hundreds of clothes, so that they can be easy to raise, and it is also good for TOEFL." But your daughter's body is lost, and it is not easy to wear other people's clothes, so I am afraid that someone will have an accident and the other person's face will not be decent. I thought of a way to sew the old clothes and old cloth of my own house and other people's houses. ā€

Li Zhu touched the small cloak, looked at the Wu family, and then looked down at the hundred small cloaks, and liked it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you!" The second sister-in-law has a heart, so I will take it home and ask Min'er Ming'er to put it on Binbin. Thank you! Wu saw that Li Zhu had received it, and said happily: "Family, what's polite!" You're really, and you came here with a Boxing Gift, and we didn't prepare anything, so remember this gift first. Li Zhu hurriedly said, there is no need, the Zhuang family does not like this. Wu couldn't say anything about Li Zhu, so he straightened his face and said, "You are talking to your sister-in-law." Li Zhu hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, write down, write down." Wu Shifang smiled.

After Li Zhu took the cloak and went home, he chatted with Deng about today's gift. Deng liked the hundred cloaks very much, swept the small cloak with his hand, rubbed it again, and said that the second sister-in-law had bothered to do it, and it was difficult for her to remember this, so she asked Li Zhu to wash and hang it outside the hospital, and the family arranged to wash and rest.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a noise from the upper hall, Deng had not worked all day, his body was not sinking, he was asleep, he was awakened by the noise, and he heard a noise outside the house, Deng wanted to wake up Li Zhu and go out to see, but he thought that Li Zhu had worked for a day, and he couldn't bear to wake him up, so he listened to the sound, thinking that something was really wrong, and then let Li Zhu get up. Deng listened with his ears pricked up, only to hear the shouting and whipping of Old Man Li from the upper hall: "What have you read in the past few years, what have you been reading, learning etiquette and theory, what have you learned in the past few years?" There are two wives and concubines in the family. Look at it, there are people in our village who have wives and concubines, and there are no Li Zheng families. You are bold, what is not good to learn, learn these smoky miasma. You say, you say. What did you do in town? ā€

Wang's crying could be faintly heard.

Mama Li cried and shouted, "You are not worrying, look, look, the people at home, the people in the village, the situation at home, the situation in the village." How can you be like a big old man. ā€

Wang cried and shouted: "In the past few years, I have given birth to Yue'er for your Li family, passed on the lineage of your Li family, continued the incense, usually kept the rules, looked at this inner house, and made needlework to supplement the family in my spare time." I won't stop you from taking a concubine, and I will recite the name of a jealous woman for no reason. But with the current reputation of our Li family, you also have to find a serious person. Although we are not rich and noble, we are serious people who can not let people in the door casually. For no reason, he tarnished his reputation. You don't think about us, you also have to think about Yue'er and Xi'er, how can you let Yue'er look up in front of her classmates in the academy in the future. Master, this matter has to be considered in the long run, will this affect your reputation in the academy? Does it affect your evaluation? ā€

There were also the cries of Li Qiyue and Li Qixi, and Mama Li's bitter cry: "Cheap skin, I don't have to spoil the food like this, I am close to you everywhere, and I am not willing to eat the Double Ninth Festival cakes I made, let you eat them first, let you take them to give gifts first, and you will treat us like this." You troubled calf. I heard Mama Li's cry again: "I am still fighting with your father and making trouble with your father today, but why is your child crooked, there is no way to live this day, anyway, the family is divided, you can do whatever you want in the future." Don't talk about us. Li Dao's cry came intermittently, and he cried: "Dad, mother, I know it's wrong, you just spare me this time." "Daddy", "Mother", "Mother".
