1106 Gifts that don't taste right

Dressed in festive clothes, Steward Lu, who personally greeted the guests at the door today, had already discovered the pair of villains on the road.

Lao Lu had been to the academy, so although he didn't recognize Wang Chong'an, he recognized the clothes of the academy, and when he saw the two of them dressed like this, he naturally knew that this was a student of his own Hou Ye, and he was waiting to meet him with a smile.

It's just that Steward Lu probably didn't expect that in the gap where he stepped forward to greet him, a few neighbors who had been waiting all morning and didn't wait suddenly appeared!

And as soon as they came, they unceremoniously passed directly past the two villains and stood directly at the front.

"Hahahaha, I'm sorry, some things are a little late, but congratulations to Gao Lin for getting your son! Congratulations! ”

In front of Wang Chong'an, there was a middle-aged man with a short stature, and he was leading a large group of family members behind him.

Steward Lu was stunned, looked up at this person, and finally recognized this person as a neighbor in an alley.

Since it's a neighbor, it's so polite! Therefore, although Steward Lu was a little displeased with his behavior just now, he still put on a smiling face to greet him and said again and again: "Tongxi, Tongxi".

The middle-aged man didn't know whether it was a smile or a drop, and when he saw Steward Lu so polite, he laughed again!

While smiling, he handed over a basket of eggs and said to Steward Lu: "We are all countrymen, and we don't have any good things, this basket of eggs will make up for the neighbors, so that the baby can be raised for nothing!" ”

"This ......" Steward Lu's smile was quite natural at first, but when he saw the so-called basket of eggs, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched involuntarily! After being stunned for a long time, he stretched out two fingers and took the "basket" of eggs......

Say it's a basket, it's really a basket!

However, this basket is not a vegetable basket commonly used in farmers' homes, but a fruit basket similar to that set on the table for ornamentation.

Inside, there are only seven or eight eggs in total, which may not be as many as the people he brought!

"Ahem, thank you...... Inside please! ”

Weighing the fluttering basket in his hand, Steward Lu didn't know whether he should laugh or be angry! Anyway, that feeling is like seeing a toad, an indescribable diaphragm! The most suffocating thing is that he can't get angry yet, he can only smile at each other!

The middle-aged man obviously saw the change in Steward Lu's expression, but instead of being apprehensive, he smiled proudly, and then arched his hand into the courtyard.

Vaguely, Steward Lu also heard him whispering to his family, "How is it?" I just want a few eggs, why do you send so many things? Think you don't want money? ”

When he heard this, Steward Lu almost couldn't hold back, and he turned his back on the spot!

I had to stroke my chest vigorously while whispering: "Calm, calm!" Don't be offended! This is to please the eldest lady in the family, even if you don't take anything? Could it be that our Xiao family still lacks that little thing? ”

"Brother An, did that person take a few eggs just now and bring the whole family to the banquet?"

"Uh, I guess so......"

At the foot of the steps, the two teenagers who were originally indignant saw this scene, and they couldn't care about getting angry, and subconsciously glanced at each other, but they both saw doubts in each other's eyes: Could it be that if you don't accept gifts during the holidays this year, you will receive gifts...... Ahem, off track.

However, before the two of them could think clearly, a few groups of people came from the street in a hurry.

Seeing this, the young man Wang Chong'an rolled his eyes, and he didn't rush forward, but pulled the bamboo pole and retreated to the side, ready to take a look.

"Haha, congratulations, I know that Gao Lin is from Guanzhong, these steamed buns, you must accept them."

"This is the old hen raised at home, and the stewed soup is the best way to replenish the body, and the neighbors never dare to refuse."

"It's our ........."

The next thing, as Wang Chong'an expected, the people who came were all participating in the Xiao family's full moon ceremony.

It's just that this gift is as good as it was discussed, and it's shabby.

Not to mention the city, it is estimated that in the village, it is not so poor!

Just looking at the kung fu of this meeting, there are already a lot of white-flour steamed buns behind Steward Lu, as well as feathered hens, green vegetables, millet, beans, and a few broken fish that can be known to be malnourished at a glance.

I guess I know, I said that this is a gift, I don't know, I thought that Lao Lu had just gone to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and came back.

Of course, not all of them are as complacent as the first middle-aged person.

At least there was an old man standing at the back who couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

"Hey, it is said that distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and doing so will hurt the neighbors."

However, as soon as the old man's voice fell, someone next to him immediately answered dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Li, what you said, we are not the only ones who are doing this!" Look at the Qi family, just a few eggs, the whole family is here! Anyway, we're more atmospheric than him, right? ”

When the old man heard this, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But at the beginning, when this family was friendly with Doctor Sun, we were not like this. ”

The man next to him immediately sneered twice and said, "Hmph, you always said that it was the beginning, and now Doctor Sun has long since moved out of his house, among them, there may be something dirty that makes the old fairy disgusted!" That's when I moved out of here!

Moreover, this family has been here for more than half a year, and our neighbors have seen any long-faced guests from his house? Didn't you?! What do you care about such a person? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, because he really had nothing to refute.

Anyone who lives on this street now knows that this new move is the strangest! I only heard that the head of the family is a young couple, and the rest is unknown, and some time ago there were rumors that their family was in business, but there was no confirmation.

Moreover, the family acts in a low-key manner on weekdays.

Basically, I don't see them come out, and sometimes I don't say ten words to their neighbors for a month, so such people will naturally not be pleasant.

The man who was talking to the old man saw the old man's speechless appearance, and his expression suddenly became even more proud, and he stopped talking nonsense with him, mentioned his "gift", and put on a hypocritical smile and walked towards Steward Lu.

The old man was behind, and when he saw that the man had used a small bag of fruit as a congratulatory gift, he had to shake his head helplessly.

"Hey, that's it!"

There was no one around except the two big-eyed and small-eyed children, and the old man thought for a moment, reached out and fumbled for a handful of copper coins from the money bag, carefully stacked them, and then gave them to the new neighbor together with the meat in his other hand.

He didn't want to be in the limelight of gift-giving, he just wanted the family not to lose so much.
