Chapter 89: A generous return gift
Li Xuemei did not let go.
When Jiang Xiulan heard this, she also knew that others were guarding against themselves.
I just want to insert it, and I have to Gu Ruhai to agree.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Jiang Xiulan stopped thinking.
and Li Xuemera croaked a few sentences.
Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai left under the pretext that the children were still waiting at home for dinner.
Mrs. Gu didn't even send the basket back, let alone a New Year's gift.
This year's etiquette is to take out half of it for his son to take back.
But Mrs. Gu was reluctant, the New Year's gift given by Gu Rushan was so thin, Gu Laosan could only come back after thirty years old, so there was no need to think about the New Year's gift, there was no one every year, and there could be more this year.
So Mrs. Gu is still counting on this thing for the New Year.
After all, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the three sons were to come to the house for the holiday, and if there was nothing to get their hands on, Mrs. Gu would not be able to get over it.
Thinking of why she was so buttoned, Mrs. Gu was on fire in her belly.
Originally, at this time of year, every family killed pigs, in previous years, Mrs. Gu was her own pigs and sold them directly to get money, and the pork for the New Year was killed by the old family's pigs, and Mrs. Gu would take Gu Rushan to the door to ask for half a fan back, and she had a fat year.
Every year, their own pork has been eaten for a long time, and these two are actually old ladies Gu who will burn meatballs to improve their food.
But this damn boss doesn't know what the ghost has lost this year, and he has raised pigs for a year, and he doesn't keep them for food, but he sells them.
The old lady Gu has no place to take the meat for nothing, and her own pigs have already been sold, if she has to spend money to buy it from the Feng butcher, the old lady Gu will be distressed to death, so Gu Ruhai's pork for this year's gift has already been arranged by the old lady Gu.
Gu Ruhai also knew what kind of person his mother was, so he didn't look at the half of the return gift, and pulled Li Xuemei away.
Being able to leave so kindly is already the biggest gain today, Gu Ruhai doesn't have such a big heart, thinking that his wife will prepare a return gift.
The two of them walked home, and Li Xuemei complained along the way: "Look at it, what the second family is taking, your mother is still picky, I knew that I would also prepare a piece of three-pound pork, two small narrow fish, anyway, it's not pleasing anyway, why bother with that hot face sticking to people's cold butts." ”
Mrs. Gu's words just now made Li Xuemei angry.
Originally, I thought that the New Year's gift I was preparing must not be partial, the old man can be partial, and if he is a junior, he can also do the same.
He is impartial, but he is afraid that Gu Ruhai will feel uncomfortable.
But that's good, it's better to prepare more than to prepare less.
Gu Ruhai comforted Li Xuemei in a flattering whisper, and also knew that today's incident made her daughter-in-law angry, "I know, it's all my fault, the old man is the old man after all, we can still find fault with them, the second child is not sensible, I can still be the same as him as the boss, isn't it that the more I live, the more I go back." Daughter-in-law, you are an adult, let's not care. ”
This Gu Ruhai is now very good at coaxing people because he has been in business for a long time, at least not the wooden man who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks before.
Li Xuemei smiled and pushed away Gu Ruhai's diligent support, "Who is rare about their return gifts, don't you always feel uncomfortable in your heart, but also because you stand up today, you have confidence in your heart, and I can't bear the treatment that I always had in previous years, it seems that my temper is good." ”
It's a sentiment, so much has happened in this year.
When they got home, Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying had already cooked a meal.
At the end of the year, the grain was harvested, and the family was no longer a black-flour steamed bun, but now at least a two-sided steamed bun mixed with white flour and cornmeal, after all, no one can eat a white-flour steamed bun.
But this is already a good meal that has doubled the salary, and several children are very satisfied.
As soon as it was cold on this day, Gu Xiaoqing stewed a pot of vegetables with cabbage and tofu vermicelli, plus hot steamed buns and gruel, which was a good life for the wealthy families in the village.
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the house should be cleaned.
The dust of the year will be swept away on this day, which indicates prosperity and abundance in the coming year.
Gu Xiaoying, Gu Xiaoqing, and Li Xuemei cleaned up at home and turned the house upside down.
Gu Ruhai was sent to give a New Year's gift to his father-in-law's family, Li Qinghai.
When it was dark, Gu Ruhai came back, and the two baskets in his hand were not only not empty, but full.
Let Li Xuemei see that angry.
This kid didn't know that this was his father-in-law's family.
In previous years, I didn't say anything, but I was very rich this year, so why bother with it, it's not a joke in my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
Gu Ruhai put down the basket, and knew that he was not doing well, looking at Li Xuemei's face was not good-looking, who couldn't see it.
Rubbing his hands, he said with a white face: "It's really not what I want to take, I can't push your brother, the two of them put me together, and your two sisters-in-law will put it up with their hands and feet, I don't want to take it, really."
Later, because of this, my father also reprimanded me, saying that this is something for the children, not for the two of us, and I think about it right, grandpa gave it to the children, don't you take it back. ”
Li Xuemei is happy, indeed, just Gu Ruhai's body, compared with her two brothers, it is not a piece of cake.
Sample, Li Xuemei thought proudly, if Gu Ruhai dared to bully herself, it was estimated that the two brothers-in-law would be enough to drink a pot.
Gu Xiaojie had already rushed up, and in the past two days, this kid had gone crazy, messing around with a bunch of boys in the village.
The face that was originally round and tender is now about to blow into yam egg skin.
Today, because of the house, it was another day of crazy running.
It's not just home.
Hearing Gu Ruhai say that his grandfather gave them three, his heart immediately felt like a few little paws scratching, this child is good at everything, and he is very sensible, even in the face of sweets, there is no resistance.
This sugar ball that is not a festival will be rounded by Gu Xiaojie alone.
Every day when I wake up and wake up, I just think about asking Gu Xiaoqing for a piece of candy.
Take Gu Xiaoqing's rarity.
Li Xuemei lifted the cloth on the basket, Huo!
Taken aback.
This basket contains 20 catties of pork, two pork knuckles, a bag of fried peanut candy, a bag of fried melon seeds, a bag of sugar, a bag of peach crisp, full of two baskets.
This is a generous New Year's gift for anyone in the countryside.
