The first is a return gift to the Wu family. Yellow rice dumplings, Jiangmi rice dumplings, Jiangmi red date dumplings, fresh meat dumplings, egg yolk dumplings, five of each, two small jars of wine, two sachets embroidered by Lianzhi'er, and a basket of fresh and tender rape, cabbage, and a basket of tender pea pods.

Although it is the beginning of summer, there are still very few vegetables that can be eaten in the vegetable gardens of the farmers. It was Lian Man'er who thought of getting these rare local rapeseeds, and the family had a lot of fields, and the manure was supplied, and they planted another stubble of rape and cabbage after eating them.

These baskets of fresh vegetables are rare and rare.

Then came the gift to Wang Youheng. It is also the same as the gift to the Wu family, five kinds of zongzi, five for each zongzi, two jars of wine, two baskets of fresh vegetables, and two pairs of shoes with mille-feuille soles. Chapter 316 Rites

The gift to Wang Youheng is as heavy as the Wu family's gift, and even a little thicker.

"He can't be compared to anyone, me and our vines, if there is no one, the grass on the grave will grow taller at this time." That's what Zhang said.

Wang Youheng is still going back to the county seat for the Dragon Boat Festival, so this gift must be sent in advance.

This time, it was Wulang and Xiaoqi who went to give gifts to the family, they went out early in the morning to give Wang Youheng's gift first, and then went to Wu's house, and then went to study in the private school as usual. At noon, the Wu family prepared a sumptuous meal, sent a car, and took Gorou and Xiaoqi from the private school to their home.

There is a saying in the Zhuang family, called "mother's uncle" Wulang and Xiaoqi, as the younger brothers of Lianzhi'er's relatives, are naturally entertained as guests when they arrive at the Wu family.

After coming back, Wulang and Xiaoqi told Zhang about the banquet arranged by the Wu family. In order to entertain the two of them, the Wu family deliberately set a banquet in a restaurant in the town, and did not treat the two of them as children at all.

The Wu family did this, which shows the importance they attach to Lian Zhi'er and this family business. Zhang and Lian Shouxin were secretly happy when they heard it.

"Third Brother Wu is a decent family, and he pays attention to these courtesies." Lian Shouxin nodded.

"It's easy to say anything else, the pomp and circumstance of the 316th chapter of the Jiaxing family is to value us. Later, Zhi'er married. It's not going to be a sad day. Zhang said.

"Aunt Wu also said that my brother and I would not go home at noon in the future, so that we could have dinner at their house nearby." Little Seven Ways.

"And what did you two say?" Zhang asked.

"My brother thanked Aunt Wu, but he didn't agree, saying that the house was not far away, and said that we would definitely go to see the third uncle and third aunt more when we were free." Xiao Qi said.

Zhang glanced at Gorou and was very satisfied with his answer.

"Sister, Brother Jiaxing still wants to give me change." Xiao Qi approached Lian Man'er again. Whisper.

Lian Man'er's eyes rolled, and she thought, is Wu Jiaxing very clever and knows how to please Xiao Qi. You must know that he and Lian Zhi'er are married, and the two families are in contact, but there will not be many opportunities for the two of them to really get in touch, and they will please Xiao Qi. Having Xiao Qi to help spread the word or something, and then helping him say a few kind words in front of Lian Zhi'er or something, can most effectively pull in the relationship between the two people.

And flattered Xiao Qi. It's tantamount to currying favor with their family.

"Do you want it?" Lian Man'er asked.

"I didn't." Xiao Qidao: "I don't lack zero money. "Brother Jiaxing is married to our sister, and I can't just ask for his money."

Lian Man'er nodded, don't look at Xiao Qi's young age, he is still a snack, and he is still very measured in his words and actions.

"Brother Jiaxing secretly inquired with me about our sister." Xiao Qi pressed against Lian Man'er's ears, and said mysteriously.

Lian Man'er was amused.

“…… Surely he didn't just give you change, he also bought you food, right? Lian Man'er held Xiao Qi's face and said with a smile, "Don't let him coax you." Tell him everything, you know? We can't tell him everything about our sister. ”

"I know, sister, don't pinch my face all the time." Xiao Qi smiled and broke free, "Sister, I'm not stupid, I know what to say." You can't say anything. ”

…………

In addition to the two gifts of Wang Youheng and the Wu family, there are also gifts for the Zhang family. That is, the ten catties of river rice that Zhang said, just in time for the backing mountain to have a market, so he asked the people in the village to catch the market to bring it over.

In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, the village households are very busy most of the time, and many people who are far away use this method to carry things and send messages to each other.

It was Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian who happened not to go to the big set of Gushantun that day, someone in their village must go, hand over the things to that person, and then let him hand them over, it is also safe, and the Zhang family will be able to receive the things on the same day.

In addition to these three gifts, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, even Man'er's family has another gift.

"The king's salute, how should this be arranged?" Zhang discussed with the big guy. Wang Ju's family has a good reputation in Thirty Liyingzi, but except for a few close to their own family, they rarely interact with others. Before the separation, the Lian family had no contact with Wang Ju's family. After the separation, that is, their Lianji moved to a new shop, and they had contacts with Wang Ju's family.

In view of the wealth of Wang Ju's family, even the gift of Man'er's family is heavy, and their financial resources are limited.

"Send it as usual." Lian Man'er thought about it and said. Lian Man'er didn't want to tie up with Wang Ju's family, and he had dealings with Wang Ju's family, that is, simply maintaining contact.

Don't underestimate this to keep in touch, it will save them a lot of trouble. The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, and Wang Juren, as the gentry of the village, has an influence that should not be underestimated.

But even Man'er's shop doesn't need to rely on him to raise people. Therefore, this gift does not need to be too heavy, but it should not be light.

“…… Five kinds of rice dumplings, five for each kind, plus two baskets of fresh vegetables and two small jars of wine. Lian Man'er thought about it and said, compared with the Wu family and Wang Youheng, it is very homely, but there are two less sachets than those given to the Wu family, and two pairs of shoes are less than those sent to Wang Youheng's family.

Sachets and shoes can't be sent casually, and even the Man'er family and Wang Ju's family are not so close.

The family discussed it for a while, and then it was settled.

……

The Zhang family's festival was brought over, and on the second set, Zhang Qingshan asked people to bring a basket of apricots back to Lian Man'er's family. As for Wang Ju's family, it was still a gift from Lian Shouxin, and Wang Juren stayed with Lian Shouxin to eat, and sent someone to send a return gift.

A bright red scorched cloth, a pair of gall bottles of rich peonies from the official kiln.

These two things, even if they are placed in the official gentry. It is also a very table-ready object, and in an ordinary villager's house, it is a very delicate and rare thing.

The steward who came to give the return gift also talked about the fresh vegetables that Lian Shouxin sent over. It is said that Wang Juren and his wife love to eat.

"We don't have this pimple, it's hard for you to have great powers."

Lian Shouxin was not stupid, and immediately picked up the phone, saying that there was still a vegetable garden at home, and Wang Ju's family loved to eat it, as long as he said it, he would immediately pick the freshest and send it over.

And the steward went away happily.

Zhang's love for the pair of gall bottles looks beautiful. Happily placed it in the back room of the new shop, and after a day, she was reluctant to put it away.

"When our new house is built in autumn, we will put it in the new house." Zhang's Road.

Lian Man'er stopped Zhang with a smile.

"Mother, this is all laid out, just put it here." Lian Man'er said, "Mother." You look at this rarity now, and in the future, there will definitely be a lot of such things. There's more to it than that. ”

When the time comes, they don't need to be delivered, and they can afford it themselves.

Gorou also nodded, thinking that the gall bottle looked good there.

"Mother, you see my brother is nodding. As long as my brother passes the imperial examination, I'm afraid that no one will send you good things in the future? Lian Man'er smiled.

"That dare." When Lian Man'er said this, Zhang's was even happier.

"Brother, if you have to work harder, our mother will count on you." Lian Man'er turned around and smiled at Goro, "Mr. Lu gave you the title today, has the article been made?" ”

"Almost. I'm going to transcribe it and ask the gentleman to comment on it. Gorou said and hurried away.

"Your brother himself knows that he works hard and doesn't need to be urged, which is worry-free. Let's not push him too much. Zhang said that he felt sorry for his son.

"Mother. I'll give him a reminder, this is called urging, urging is not urging. Lian Man'er smiled, "Oh, yesterday Xiao Qi was also hit by Mr.'s handboard." ”

For a while, Zhang's face was a little complicated.

"I'll pick vegetables and add some vegetables to Mr. Lu tonight." Zhang said this and went out as well.

Lian Man'er pursed her lips and smiled in the room. Like any ordinary mother, Zhang feels sorry for her child. But she knows that she can't be spoiled, so she will endure not saying anything about how Mr. Lu strictly teaches Wulang and Xiaoqi. However, a mother's selfishness, she always wants to be more kind to Mr. Lu, so that when Mr. Lu swings the board, he can be softer to Gorou and Xiaoqi.

However, Zhang didn't know that she did this, but she got the exact opposite result.

Because Zhang didn't say anything, her anxious look when she saw her son being beaten by the board, and the thickened meal afterwards, made Mr. Lu very moved, and decided to repay him doubly, so he treated Wulang and Xiaoqi more attentively, and of course more harshly. If the hand board is not hit, if it is played, it will be very real, and it will never be raised high and gently fallen.

…………

Three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Lian Ji began to sell zongzi.

The rice dumplings are two taels each, and the weight is only a lot more. Yellow rice and brown are worth three cents each, Jiang rice and brown are four cents each, Jiang rice and red date dumplings are nine cents each, and fresh meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings are each five cents.

When I came to the shop to eat breakfast, many of them bought zongzi as breakfast, and some would buy two more to take back as a snack. Yellow rice brown and jiangmi brown are equally popular, but fresh meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings are the first to sell out.

Because of the holiday, the business in the shop is busier than usual, but the guys in the shop are very happy, and they have a holiday, and Lianji has sent them benefits!!
