But this thing to express his heart is nothing more than what he made with his own hands, Lin He thinks that there is really nothing he can make with his own hands, those toy puppets are to be sent to the store to sell, this is too commercial, not good.

That's either the dried sweet potatoes that I made, I'm afraid it's not good to give this dried sweet potatoes to Uncle Wen, these things can't be put on the table, and there is really nothing else, which is really nerve-wracking.

Seeing Lin He's distressed look, Huang laughed, nodded her head and said, "You clever ghost, you also can't think of things." Think about it slowly, I don't care about this, if you want money, ask me, you have to think of a gift for Wen Shu. ”

A few days later, Lin Erniu came home in the evening, and also discussed with the Huang family what gifts and relatives and friends to give Laba, and who to give it to.

This Aunt Xu's family, Mr. Xu's family are all going to be sent, and there are some relatives who have to send some more or less, but what should be sent and how much is appropriate is also a problem.

In fact, in this era, there is not much attention to gift-giving, generally giving some food and the like, such as giving some pork, white noodles, and snacks, which are almost all of these things, unlike in the previous life, as long as you have money, you can give whatever you want.

Huang and Er Niu muttered and talked for a long time there, and then decided that their parents' family and grandfather would each send a piece of pork, a piece of cloth, five catties of white flour and two envelopes of dim sum plus two hundred big money, and the brother would send a piece of pork, five catties of cornmeal and two envelopes of dim sum.

Aunt Xu wants to send a lot of it, in the past years, Aunt Xu sent a lot of things to their house, and she didn't have any return gifts, but this year she wanted to send some things over, and decided to smoke some bacon by herself, plus two snacks, and send some dried sweet potatoes at home, and Mr. There will be the same as his brother's family.

The other relatives just buy some cornmeal and pork to send it, and the gifts from the patriarch's family must be indispensable, I am afraid that it will be extraordinarily rich, which is almost the same, and I am afraid that it will cost about one or two to two taels of silver.

Fortunately, these days, Lin He took his family to make most of the dried sweet potatoes, and these days Lin Erniu and Daddy Qin also sold most of them in the town, and also earned almost one or two silver back, which can also be subsidized, Lin He said that the weather is getting colder and colder on the Laba Festival, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be fewer people on the street, and it will definitely not be easy to sell, so I hurried out.

Of course, other people's families also have return gifts, but there are not many return gifts, think about those relatives and relatives in the family, I am afraid that they will not be able to receive any return gifts, which has to be said to be another expense.

After saying that, Huang asked Erniu to take Dabao to take the ox cart to buy these things, and in a few days it will be Laba, and the things will be almost ready, the meat will be bought, and the smoked bacon will take a few days. Lin He never thought about what to send to Uncle Wen, so he also said that he would go to the town to see if there was anything to buy back and give it to Uncle Wen.

The next day, Lin He and Dabao followed Erniu to the town early in the morning, probably because it was about to reach the Laba Festival, the town was particularly lively, there were many people, things were also expensive, pork or something began to rise in price, and when all the things in the house were purchased, it was almost noon. Happily, Lin He also bought some of the things he needed, and planned to go back and make something for Uncle Wen.

When he got home in the afternoon, Lin He began to do it, and Lin He was also inspired to see someone in the town buying a soup woman for heating, the weather in this era was much colder than in the previous life, and things like soup women would not be used by poor families, but rich families were common.

The appearance of this ancient soup woman is a bit similar to pumpkins, flat and round, there are also large and small, the big one can be put on the bed at night to warm the feet, the smaller one is to put carbon inside, and then the outside is covered with a layer of thick cloth, usually held in the hand can be warmed, not to say bad, but it seems not very convenient to hold in the hand, plus relatively small, cold is also fast.

Lin He remembered that in modern times, when it comes to winter, many girls will buy that kind of hand warmer in their hands, which is charged, of course, it is more convenient, and then put a cute cover outside, you can put it in your hand, and children can also put it around their necks, which is very convenient and cute.

But at this time, there is no electricity, and I don't want to charge it so conveniently, Lin He plans to use that kind of sheepskin bag to make a water bag inside, and then make a plug that can be plugged tightly without leakage, and then make a good-looking cartoon sleeve outside to cover the water bag, Lin He remembered that Uncle Wen also has children at home, and it is excellent to give it to children.

It just so happened that Lin He saw someone selling rabbit skin on the street, it is not expensive, a rabbit skin is twenty-five yuan, come back and cut the rabbit skin to the size of just enough to put in the hot water bottle, so that the water bag can be kept warm for a long time, and there is no need to worry about the water inside from time to time, plus the size of the water bag is also larger than that of the soup woman, presumably it should not need to be changed for several hours.

Then find a way to embroider a beautiful bear on the outside of the rabbit's fur, and sew two bags on it, so that you can hold it with your hands, and it is also good to put it around your neck.

In addition to not being able to charge, but it looks much better than the modern one, the modern outer sleeve for the water bag is made of inferior artificial leather fur, and the manual is not good, but this is made of real fur, and it is made of double-sided fur, the inner layer of fur is for warmth, and the outer layer is for good looks.

And the handiwork is also good, the snow-white fur is sewn with a red bear, outside, it is particularly good-looking, the bear is Lin He let Huang embroider, Lin He's embroiderer is not good at embroidering a bear, so let Huang embroider it, Xiaobao and Lin Chen saw such a thing, and refused to let go when they took it.

However, Lin He said that it was given away, and he would make it for them later, in fact, if there was that kind of beautiful silver fox skin or something, it would be more beautiful, but the silver fox skin was too difficult to find, and even if it could be found, it was very expensive, and Lin He couldn't afford it, so he temporarily replaced it with rabbit skin.

Lin He was also quite satisfied with his masterpiece, plus he bought a lambskin water bag and rabbit fur for less than sixty yuan, but in addition to such a good gift, it was really surprising and not unusual.

It's just that in the general farmer's house, when you go out to bring water, you use a bamboo tube, so Lin He has never known that there is such a thing as a lambskin water bag, and today in a store I saw that there are all kinds of water bags for sale, Lin He remembered the idea of a warm water bag.
