Chapter 132: Exchanges of Gifts (3)
Qingquan actually didn't expect this, but she still agreed with her brother's idea of saying a return gift, because if she returned the gift to Shi Damei, she would not owe each other, and if Shi Damei made any unreasonable requests in the future, she should refuse or have to refuse!
"Then I'll get some more food from home, counting that Brother Shi should come back in the day, I want to make him something delicious to replenish his body!" Qingquan said with a smile, she doesn't count on the Shi family, there is absolutely no good things for Brother Shi to eat.
"Poof", Tsinghua smiled, "You can take whatever you want, your own things, you still need to tell me!" β
Qingquan stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and ran to the warehouse to prepare something, she didn't have a relationship with her brother, she just said it casually.
Tsinghua looked at the back of his sister running away, this heart was happy and sour, he took care of his sister who grew up since he was a child, and at this time he also reached the age of washing his hands and making soup for his husband!
Qingquan found two pieces of cloth from his storehouse, and some rice, meat and other ingredients from his own kitchen, and went back to Shi's house.
When I entered the door, I happened to see Mrs. Shi and Shi Dahua walking out with Shi Damei, and it seemed that they were leaving.
Mrs. Shi saw Qingquan entering the door with a bunch of things in large bags, and her eyes couldn't help flashing with joy, these things were just enough to cover the deficit of entertaining Qi Shuxin yesterday.
I was about to ask Xiao Zhang to pick up the things in Qingquan's hand, and she could put them away, but she heard Qingquan say, "Auntie, are you leaving?" β
"Erlang's daughter-in-law is going out, where did you get all these things back?" Shi Damei was also surprised to see Qingquan carrying so many things into the door, there was rice and oil, as well as chicken and eggs, but they were all good things, even if their family conditions were good, they could not eat meat every day.
"Oh, I went back to my parents' house, my brother heard that my aunt was coming, and asked me to bring something to my aunt as a return gift!" Qingquan smiled.
Shi Damei didn't expect these things to be given to her, so she couldn't help but feel happy on her face, and by the way, she turned her head and gave Mrs. Shi a "Look, I'm right" look.
Mrs. Shi didn't have the heart to receive Shi Damei's eyes, as soon as she heard that these things were for her eldest daughter, she began to feel conflicted.
She wanted to keep these things in her own house again, but she also wanted Shi Damei to take them back to her mother-in-law's house to fill the faΓ§ade.
She also prepared a return gift, but it was just a small basket of eggs and a jar of pickled vegetables.
When Mrs. Shi hesitated, she heard Shi Damei say: "Oh, Tsinghua has a heart, but your grandmother has also prepared a return gift, and there is no shortage of these things at home, since it is a part of your brother and sister's heart, I will take this chicken and this meat, and you can keep the rest at home to eat!" β
When Mrs. Shi heard this, her face was happy, she was worthy of being her daughter, and she knew that she was a mother.
In fact, the main reason is that Shi Damei's family runs a grocery store, and the rice noodles and other things that Qingquan mentions are sold at her own house, so there is no need to take them, but this chicken and meat are rare things, and taking them back should be able to increase face in front of her in-laws and concubines.
Although she cares about this chicken and this meat in her heart, she still looks like these things are not rare when she speaks, after all, she has always been superior to her mother's family, how can she show the appearance of these things in her mother's family!
Qingquan saw a lot of people and things in her previous life, and she wanted to laugh a little when she looked like this, obviously she wanted things, and she pretended to be high.
But she misunderstood, these things are not for her, if she takes out those two pieces of fabric by herself for a while, this Shi Damei can still be so indifferent, Qingquan believes that she is really Qinggao!
"Auntie misunderstood, I thought Brother Shi was coming back soon, and I took them back to make up for Brother Shi's body, and I prepared two pieces of clothing for Auntie." As he spoke, Qingquan opened the baggage he was carrying and showed the two pieces of fabric.
A piece of silver-red material, embroidered with silver thread with the dark lines of peony, shining in the sun, the silver thread sparkling is beautiful!
The other piece is gouache material, the pink is bright and clean, and the texture is particularly good, so you can see that it is a good thing at a glance.
These two pieces of material were selected by Qingquan in the box of materials given to her by Ma Erye, not the best in it, just two pieces that were more ordinary, but it was enough to give Shi Damei a gift in return, I believe that it is the largest silk Zhuangzi in the county, and these two pieces of material will not be cheap.
As soon as these two pieces of material came out, the Shi family looked straight, and even Xiao Zhang, who refused to be the first bird on weekdays, couldn't help but praise: "This material is so beautiful!" β
The stone flower is even more eyes have fallen into the fabric and can't get out, she has always loved beauty and loves to dress up, such two beautiful pieces of fabric appeared in front of her, she was eager to take it over immediately and make clothes to wear on herself.
"However, since my aunt has them at home, and these things are not rare, let's take the meat and chicken! It just so happened that Li Jing'er's new clothes were lost yesterday, so I will use this material to make two more clothes for her! Kiyoizumi continued, and as he spoke, he was about to take the burden back.
"Wait, wait!" Shi Damei ran to Qingquan's side in three steps and two steps, and grabbed her hand to collect the burden.
"Hehe, look at what you kid said, no matter what, it's a part of your heart with Qinghua, how can I refuse, this material is good-looking, my aunt likes it, my aunt will accept it, and keep this chicken and meat for Erlang to make up for him!"
Saying that, Shi Damei also put a hand on the burden, her eyes staring at the fabric, afraid that Qingquan would take it back!
Just kidding, Shi Damei is used to doing business, she knows at a glance that these two pieces of fabric are sold in the county for at least five taels of silver, maybe five taels of silver can't be bought, and there may not be such good goods in the county!
If these two pieces of fabric are taken home, it will be too face-saving, and I am afraid that my in-laws and concubines will say that she will make up for her mother's family!
And the silver-red material is the most suitable for her to make her own clothes, and the gouache material is also the best to use for Qian'er and Ying'er to make spring shirts in a few days.
When the time comes, if they go to the county seat to visit their relatives again, the three of them will wear such clothes, and they will not compare those who look down on her, and she will feel happy when she thinks about it!
So today no matter what, she has to get this material in her hands, and she knew that Erlang's daughter-in-law was giving such a gift in return, so she didn't say those words!
However, how did she know that Erlang's daughter-in-law was so generous, and it was such a good thing as soon as she made a move, it seems that her father-in-law's estimate of Su Qinghua is still lower!
Thinking of the old bracelet I gave to Erlang's daughter-in-law today, my eyes couldn't help flashing, compared to this fabric, her old bracelet is nothing, but fortunately, the family only knows that this fabric is good-looking, and does not know the value of this material, otherwise she will really lose people in her mother's house this time!
Thinking of this, when Shi Damei looked at Qingquan again, she no longer carried that condescending meaning, and she also understood that this Erlang daughter-in-law was different from the rest of her mother's family, and she was not a person who could be sent away with a little favor and a small favor.
Qingquan saw the change in Shi Damei's eyes and attitude, so he smiled and said: "This was originally prepared by my aunt, since my aunt likes it, then I can rest assured!" β
As she spoke, she put the burden in Shi Damei's hand, and it was enough for her to hit Shi Damei with this thing today, and this thing should be returned.
