Chapter 61: Boxing Gifts

Back in the village, Meng Zhen first went to cook a simple but delicious dinner.

After eating and washing the dishes, Meng Zhen pulled Su Shen and began to distribute things.

There are not many people in the village who have dealings with them, except for Guo Lizheng's family and Guo Yang's family, Meng Zhen and Su Shen only have a little intersection with Guo Yang's second uncle and aunt, so the people in the village that Meng Zhen set to give gifts are currently only the above three.

Although most of the friendship between the other party and them stems from frequent you sell and I buy, but considering the other party's consistent enthusiastic attitude and fair price, Meng Zhen still decided to give the old shopkeeper a Mid-Autumn Festival gift - just as it is to win over business partners.

"Guo Lizheng's family will give a box of five-kernel mooncakes, a box of chestnut mooncakes, a jar of wine, a piece of meat, a pound of pork ribs, a big watermelon, a basket of dates, and a basket of crispy pears."

"The old shopkeeper of Juford Restaurant... Just give him a box of five-kernel mooncakes, a box of jujube mud mooncakes, two hares, two pheasants, two fatty fish, a basket of dates, and a basket of crispy pears. ”

"Aunt Guo's family has helped us the most, in addition to the pig's trotters, pig's head meat, and the pig water that the butcher's lady gave them, I also plan to give them two more boxes of moon cakes, two pork belly, two catties of pork ribs, two large watermelons, two catties of autumn plums, a basket of dates, a basket of crisp pears, a basket of persimmons, ten feet of coarse cloth, and a jar of wine."

"As for Uncle Guo's family, although they don't have much contact with us, they are also a family to make friends with, in addition to the remaining two boxes of moon cakes, I plan to give them another pork belly and a pound of pork ribs. In addition, our dates, pears, and persimmons can also be sent to them. ”

While Meng Hao was thinking about it herself, she was still chattering with Su Shennian.

Su Shen felt that this feeling was very fresh.

In the past, his mother did not prepare Boxing and New Year's gifts for relatives and friends, but his mother never gave him a chance to interfere in these things.

Not to mention that she told him like Meng Zhen, his mother refused to even show him the gift list.

Although his mother is indeed a motherly heart, and she doesn't show him or let him care because she doesn't want him to be distracted by these trivial matters, his later experience has made him gradually realize one thing, that is, being born as a human being, just being able to study is really not enough.

His family fled in a hurry, and was later betrayed by his grandfather's family, so that he had to blend in with the ranks of the homeless people, seeking a chance to survive in the danger of death.

If it weren't for the fact that he had learned a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu from his father, a person without any martial arts foundation would not be his opponent at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he was born with a ruthless energy, he could be ruthless and dare to be ruthless.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a good face, he would have been able to rely on that good face to buy pills and rub food in that environment.

If it weren't for the fact that he saved Meng Zhen once by chance, and then repeatedly got her care, where would he still be alive today?

"Why don't you speak? Is there a difference of opinion? Meng Hao stretched out her hand and shook it a few times in front of Su Shen's eyes.

Su Shen came back to his senses, "No, your arrangement is already very good." ”

After a pause, Su Shen said again: "It's the festival of Aunt Guo's family, I think we can not say that it is all a festival." ”

Meng Zhen understands in seconds.

If all these gifts they gave were Boxing gifts, then Aunt Guo would definitely try to give them back a Boxing gift of equal value.

Although with the Guo family's current family background, they can afford such a festival, but Meng Zhen's original intention is to subsidize the Guo family after all, not to exchange gifts with them.

In this way, she naturally can't ask Aunt Guo to send them a Mid-Autumn Festival gift of comparable value.

Meng Hao thought for a moment, "Then let's divide it into two and send these things to the Guo family." I'll send the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts next door later, and the rest of them will be regarded as helping us take care of the house, make cotton clothes and quilts, and we'll give them a thank you gift for their family of three. ”

Su Shen had a different opinion, "Don't you want to place other things?" The Guo family's Mid-Autumn Festival gift is still for me to send. ”

Meng Zhen didn't care, "Nacheng, then you can send it to Aunt Guo and them now." ”

When Su Shen heard this, he took two boxes of moon cakes, two pork belly and two catties of pork ribs and went to Aunt Guo's house.

Aunt Guo's family had just had dinner, and at this time, the three of them were staying in the yard and doing their own things.

Su Shen didn't go into Guo's house, and handed the things = to Guo Yang at the gate, and Su Shen went back to Meng's house to help Meng Hao.

Early the next morning, after the three of them practiced martial arts, Meng Zhen took his two little followers up the mountain again.

They didn't go far into the mountains this time, and when they hunted a sufficient number of pheasants and hares, Meng Hao took them to the Qingshui River again.

The three of them netted some fish using the old method provided by Meng Zhen, and then the three little ones began to go separately to send the gifts.

Su Shen drove the carriage to the town, in addition to a gift to the old shopkeeper, Meng Zhen also temporarily brought him some pears, dates, and persimmons from his yard, and asked him to distribute them to the bookkeeper, cook, Xiao Er and others in the restaurant.

As for Guo Yang, this black boy was arrested by Meng Hao, Meng Zhen went to give a gift to Li Zheng's family, he not only had to help Meng Zhen get things, but also help Meng Zhen go up the tree to pick fruits - after all, Meng Zhen had a plan, and wanted to give some of the fruits produced by his family to the Li Zheng family to try.

After sending the gift to Lizheng's family, Meng Zhen asked Guo Yang to take her to Uncle Guo's house again.

She didn't prepare much for Uncle Guo's family, but she picked more fruits than she sent to Lizheng's family.

Second Uncle Guo and his family never imagined that Meng Zhen and Su Shen would actually give their family a Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

These two people are honest people who know how to repay their kindness, although they have no psychological preparation, but before Meng Hao left, these two people still took out the most valuable things in the family as a return gift.

They gave Meng Zhen a bag of brown sugar, a bag of mung beans, a bag of soybeans, and a bag of peanuts, except for the brown sugar, which was sent by Guo Er's aunt's sister, and the other three were all picked up by Guo Yang's two cousins one by one.

The Guo family did not have their own land, and the second uncle Guo would go to the nearby landlords to do short-term work during the busy farming season.

The landlord's field, but no one will help pick up all the grain in the field and return it to the landlord's house.

So in the fertile fields that had been harvested and belonged to the landlords, every autumn, children in the neighborhood would run around with baskets and cloth bags to pick up the leaks.

The children are busy working early and returning late in the autumn, and the ears of grain, beans, and peanuts that can be picked up at home are only 180 catties.

There is a wealthy family and the elders feel sorry for the children, and the elders will basically keep the food picked up by the children in the family and slowly make it for the children to eat.

As for the elders in the family who are more stingy, or the family really can't open the pot, the "windfall" picked up by these children will basically be exchanged for some wheat bran, bran and other things that can fill their stomachs and are extremely cheap.
