Soon the Laba Festival is coming, the custom is to give the gift the day before the Laba Festival, Huang plans to wait for Erniu to come back in the afternoon and take Dabao to the patriarch's house to send the gift over, and then go to send the gift to the grandfather's family, and then take Lin He to send some gifts to Aunt Xu and his concubine's family.

Laba is on holiday before and after, and there is no need to study. In the morning, Dabao took an ox cart to the door of the "Lotus Doll" store, the Lotus Doll has been open for a while, and the business is excellent.

Because it has just opened, Uncle Wen said that it was the opening of a new store, and the price of the toy puppet was lowered a little, saying that it would be restored to the original price after this period, and the signboard would be played out first.

In fact, the price of one tael of silver is already relatively expensive, you think, selling a hundred pieces a day is the gross income of one hundred taels of silver, but Lin He said that because it is for children, the materials are the best.

The inside is made of silk cotton, which is much softer than the fine cotton, and the outside is also made of satin, which is beautiful and has more colors. So in addition to the original expenses, the income earned is only about half, and the variety is still relatively small, after all, the rich people in the town are still limited, so this kind of store still has to be guarded slowly.

And this shop has not been open for a long time, there have been some imitations have appeared, of course, the quality is far from good, such as the coarse cloth used outside, the inside is also used some rags and some very cheap cotton, but the price is much cheaper, the style is only two points like, some families are still willing to buy this cheap for children to play.

Dabao didn't stay in the store for long, Uncle Wen also came, and was taken aback when he saw Dabao in the store, "Dabao, tomorrow is Laba, why did you come to town today, what's the matter?" ”

Dabao respectfully saluted Uncle Wen, and then said, "No, Uncle Wen, my sister asked me to come to town and bring you something," and then handed Uncle Wen a small burden in his hand.

Then he said, "This thing was made by my sister herself, saying that it has been all taken care of by Uncle Wen for so long, and our ordinary farmers can't come up with any good things, so my sister made a gadget by herself and gave it to Uncle Wen's little son, and I hope Uncle Wen will not dislike it." ”

Boss Wen opened the burden in his hand, and saw that the color of this thing was beautiful, but he didn't know what it was for, and he was thinking,

Dabao spoke again and said, "My sister said that this is a hand warmer, which is made of lambskin water bags, which can be filled with hot water in this winter, and then put the water bags into this sleeve, and the strap on this side can be put around the neck, which is very warm." ”

Uncle Wen took a closer look at this hand warmer, the water bag was placed in a fur case, and then the two sides were opened, and the hands could be put in it to warm up, and he didn't look like a normal hand warmer.

Uncle Wen looked at it seriously, laughed and said, "This girl, the things she came up with are all strange. Thank you for me. Also, Laba has also arrived, wait for me to let the carriage take you back, I gave your family Laba a little bit of stuff in the carriage. ”

Dabao thanked Uncle Wen, stayed in the store for a while and went back, and when he arrived at the carriage, he realized that Uncle Wen had a little thing for them, and Uncle Wen prepared more than ten bags of snacks and candy on the carriage, and I am afraid that there are dozens of catties of meat, there are many types, it should be rabbits and pheasants or the like, anyway, it is not pork.

There were also some fresh fruits such as apples and pears, and a few beautiful cloths, all of which were not ordinary coarse cloths, but should be some fine silk and other things, and there was a large bag of at least forty or fifty catties of white flour left.

If Dabao had known that there were so many things, he wouldn't have taken them if he was killed, but now that the things have been received, there is no way to return them, so he can only take them back.

And Uncle Wen should have planned to send Dabao to his house if he didn't come today, Dabao wanted to take it back first, and see what his sister said.

Back at home, Lin He knew that Uncle Wen had sent so many gifts, but there was no surprise, after all, what kind of family Uncle Wen's family was, either he would not give gifts, or he would definitely not give a small gift.

Uncle Wen sent such things, probably taking into account the actual situation in her family. If it weren't for Uncle Wen's help, it shouldn't be these things.

But Uncle Wen is indeed right, these things are practical for Lin He's family, they can be eaten by themselves, or they can be given as gifts, this is just the end of Laba is about to celebrate the New Year, and in the first month, the relatives of the family have to walk around each other, and these gifts can just come in handy.

However, Huang saw that a small gadget of Dabao brought back so many things, and he felt embarrassed and felt that he had taken advantage of it.

Lin He persuaded him, "This is not for exchange, I don't send today's gadgets, Uncle Wen will still send people to send these things, we give Uncle Wen gifts just for a heart, our family is like this for Uncle Wen, how can there be anything to take, Uncle Wen is not the kind of person who covets other people's gifts, I am afraid that the gadgets I send are more than many good things to make Uncle Wen happy." ”

Huang didn't say much, thinking about it, He'er's words made sense, and it just so happened that Erniu also came back, and when he heard Lin He's words, he also said that what Lin He said made sense. Here, the Huang family is already arranging some things to send gifts to the patriarch's house and grandfather's house in the afternoon.

Huang put aside all the gifts sent by Boss Wen, planning to wait until the Chinese New Year to use them, and the gifts of Laba were already ready, as long as they were sent.

Lin Erniu first took Dabao to the patriarch's house, and there were many people in the patriarch's house, at this time, there were many people who gave gifts, Lin Erniu's gifts were obviously more abundant than theirs, and the patriarch took it over with a smile on his face, and arranged for Erniu to sit beside him.

When the other gift-givers in the house saw Erniu, they were both envious and jealous. But most of them still have a good relationship with Lin Erniu, and they all chatted on the side.

When the patriarch saw Erniu, he also nodded secretly, thinking that although Lin Dajiang's family was not a good one, Erniu's family was good. I will always send some gifts during the New Year's holidays, especially the gifts given this time are very heavy-handed.

And Lin Erniu has a good character, and he gets along well with the people in the village, whether it is when he was poor or now, he does not look down on people because his family is better.
