After returning from the patriarch's house, Dabao and Lin Erniu hurried to Dabao's grandfather's house, which was in the next village, not very far, but it also looked like a road of more than ten miles. However, it was quick to go by ox cart, and it would not take half an hour to arrive.

Dabao's grandmother and grandfather saw that Dabao and Erniu were coming, and their faces smiled, Erniu and Dabao unloaded the things on the ox cart, and Dabao's grandmother said angrily, "Erniu, what is this for, your family just built a house this year, how can there be any extra money, just come and take a trip, what are you doing with these things, it's good to leave these things at home for the children to eat." ”

Erniu has always respected his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he did not dislike his poor family at the beginning, and married his only daughter, so many years, he has been very poor, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law have never complained about him, and he always sends something to his children every year to eat.

Erniu also scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, there are still all these things at home, this is what the child's mother asked me to send, you don't see much, just a meaning." As he spoke, he took out two hundred big money from his arms to give to Grandma Dabao.

Dabao's grandmother was definitely unwilling to accept it, but she couldn't stand Erniu's resoluteness, and finally accepted it, chatting, Dabao's uncle and aunt came in with a few children, and they were very happy to see Erniu coming, Uncle Huang Dashan looked at Dabao and said, "Dabao has grown a lot taller and fatter." I heard that I was reading, how did I read? ”

Dabao answered one by one, and several children next to him were all around Dabao to ask this and that, and one of them was Dabao's little uncle, who was only eight years old this year, and was the old son of Dabao's grandmother.

The eldest son also has three children, the eldest son is twelve years old, the second son is also eight years old, and the youngest daughter is only six years old.

Dabao looked at Erniu, and Erniu smiled and said, "You go to play with your uncle and cousin for a while, and I'll call you when you go home." ”

The farmer looked at him and didn't talk much, but talked about nothing more than some farming things, Dabao's aunt was a virtuous person, and she would occasionally say a word or two when she sat on the side and laughed.

Here, the Huang family also brought some gifts from Lin He's family, Lin He's grandmother's family, Erniu sent it over early in the morning, Huang took Lin He as long as he sent some brothers' families, first of all, he planned to go to Aunt Xu's house, Huang just picked up something and planned to leave, and Aunt Xu's voice over there had already sounded, "Erniu's daughter-in-law, are you at home?" ”

Huang hurriedly greeted him, and saw Aunt Xu carrying a basket of things over, and there were dozens of eggs in the basket, as well as a piece of bacon and a piece of cloth, presumably also to give gifts for the Laba Festival, Huang laughed and said, "Aunt Xu, you are really, I just took our family He'er to your house, you see you are here, really, I eat a lot of things from your family every year, I am embarrassed." ”

Aunt Xu laughed loudly and said, "You still tell me these things, what do you want to give me, just let me take it back, and it will save you a trip." You see, I'm not going to be polite to you this year, and I'll take all the things you gave me. ”

Lin He felt that this Aunt Xu was really a cheerful person, and she actually asked for a gift by herself, at this time it was rare for people with such a personality to appear, but it could also be seen that Aunt Xu really didn't treat their family as an outsider, and people like Aunt Xu's family were still worthy of deep friendship.

Huang went into the house and took out the gifts from his home, while saying, "Mr. asked Mr. to take back the gift on the eve of the Laba Festival, so I won't give it away." ”

As he spoke, he put the gift he planned to give to Aunt Xu's family in the basket that Aunt Xu brought herself. Aunt Xu looked at those things and said, "Big sister, what are you doing with so many things, the meaning is fine, you are really, why are we two still talking about these false courtesies?" ”

Huang said, "There is nothing either, these things are all owned by our own family, this dried sweet potato is dried by our family, you taste it, take it home for your two dogs to eat, if it is delicious, it is not worth anything." ”

Aunt Xu looked at the dried sweet potatoes in surprise, "This thing is good-looking, then I'm not welcome, and I have the cheekiness to take these things back." ”

After staying for a while, he left, saying that he had to send gifts to other relatives, and he couldn't delay for too long.

When Huang took Lin He to Zhou's house, Zhou was also at home, watching Huang come in, her face suddenly became a little embarrassed, in fact, she also knew that Laba wanted to give some gifts to her relatives, but how could there be so many things at home, she didn't even go to her mother's house, she just sent some things to her mother-in-law.

Seeing Huang coming in with a basket, he knew that Huang was here to give gifts, so he hurriedly asked Huang to sit down and said, "Second sister-in-law, I originally planned to wait for your family, but I didn't have anything good to give, I embroidered a purse for Dabao and their children, and I will take it out for you." ”

Huang took out the purse, Lin He took the purse, although the cloth is ordinary silk cloth, but the workmanship is really good, it can be seen that it is attentive. And each of the four of them has a different color, and there is a veil on it, which is very beautiful.

Lin He said sweetly, "Sanniang, these purses are so beautiful, I like them tightly, this is still my first purse, my mother is busy every day, and she doesn't make a purse for me, and I won't do it myself, I'll come over and learn from you in a few days." ”

Zhou was happy to hear Lin He say that he liked it, and said, "Okay, you come over and I'll teach you." ”

Huang glanced at her with a smile, "This girl, you're blaming me, saying that I didn't make a purse for her, let's learn from you Sanniang in the future, your Sanniang's purse is much better than mine." ”

Huang took out the things in the basket and handed them to Zhou, Zhou pushed the things back, Huang smiled and helped her put the things away, "Three brothers and sisters, we are all our own brothers, I don't want to do so much, you just take these things, you look at the purses you made for He'er, he likes it tightly, in her heart, I'm afraid it's much better than other things, this gift is a heart." ”

Lin He was also sad to see Zhou like this, Zhou is a woman with strong self-esteem, I am afraid that this moment of the year is the saddest time, the family can't come up with decent things, and others give gifts and have nothing to reciprocate, which is also sad.

It's going to be the New Year soon, so it's naturally more difficult. Hey, a woman without a man is already unhappy, and it is even more difficult in such a feudal ancient time.
