Li looked at the gifts they gave Fu Bin and sighed, "The gifts bought by this big family are different, such good tea and cloth, as well as snacks and wine, these cost a lot of silver!" In the past, when we went to relatives and friends, the most we could do was to cut catties of meat, and only the good ones would send some cloth to catch a chicken. ”
"Mother, what do you want to do? People have a deep family background, and the gifts they give are comparable to those who can't eat enough, and when our family is rich, it's the same. ”
"How can it be the same, people have been accumulated for generations, our ancestors didn't leave anything, and we don't have any ability, and our family will still depend on your brothers and sisters in the future."
Yanni walked over and hugged the Li family, "Mother, don't worry, in the future, my brother will earn your life, and I will earn you silver, you will be the wife of a rich official family." ”
Li smiled, "I ate honey today, this mouth is so sweet." ”
——
There are still a few days to August 15, Yanni has not been to Linhai City for more than two months, this time it is still three sisters together, plus a cheap father who is not at ease behind her.
"Alas! Xiaole, there are so many people here, don't run so fast! ”
Xiaole ran to a pancake stall and said, "Wow! It smells so good! He pointed to the pancakes and said, "Dad, I want to eat this." ”
When the vendor saw a few of them, he excitedly shouted, "Delicious pancakes!" It's big and fragrant, a penny a penny, how many do you want to buy? ”
Chen Xiaocai asked Yanni and Xiaoyu if they wanted it, and Xiaoyu said, "I don't want it, after eating this, my mother will give the bitter medicine to drink when I go back." ”
Yanni and Xiaole bought one by one, and went shopping while eating, the feeling was really beautiful.
As they passed a teahouse, Yanni didn't know that someone was watching them upstairs.
"Childe, they are the father and daughter who sold the children's carriage last time, do you want to invite them up?"
A boy who was dressed like a gentleman, but his words were so disdainful, "No need, I haven't seen them come up with a new style for so long, obviously the children's car is just their accidental work, and these people don't need to pay attention to it in the future." ”
"Yes."
——
"Dad, did you buy the things that my mother told me to buy?"
"I didn't buy any of them, you ran so fast, I didn't even have time to look at it."
"Oops! Then let's hurry, more than half of this time has passed, and there are still so many things to buy! ”
——
Yanni looked at the things that Li had sorted out, "Mother, are these things going to be taken to grandma's house?" ”
"No, these are gifts for Mr., tomorrow your father will pick up Xuan'er back, and the day after tomorrow you will go to your grandmother's house together."
Xiaole was puzzled, "Mother, aren't you going?" ”
"Last time, the doctor said that I need to make many trips now, and I can't walk too much, and I will go again when I am in the New Year." There was a hint of loss in Lee's voice.
Yanni said, "Mother, you see that we have added so many things this year, grandparents must be very happy." ”
Speaking of those rituals, Li also had a smile on his face, "Even if there is nothing, your grandparents will be happy to see people arrive."
Alas! In previous years, your grandmother's housekeeper only brought a pound of meat during the New Year, and there was nothing at other times, but fortunately your grandfather said that half of the money earned in each room could be kept for himself, and your father could earn a little money every year, otherwise there would be no holiday gifts. ”
"Mother, don't think about what you used to do, if you think that a pound of meat is less, there are so many chickens and pigs on our mountain, you can send as many as you want, and no one will stop you from sending it."
Xiaoyu said, "Mother, let's catch a few more chickens and send them to grandma, grandma is fine, every time she goes, she will give me candy to eat, and the milk will only be given to the brother of the third uncle's family." ”
Yanni deliberately teased her, "Xiaoyu likes to eat sugar!" Aren't you afraid of bugs growing on your teeth? Look at the fifth brother of the third uncle's family, the teeth have been eaten by insects, do you still want to eat? ”
"Woo...... Xiaoyu pointed to his lost front tooth and said, "Mother, was my tooth eaten by insects?" ”
Yanni didn't expect to scare her into tears, she just wanted to tease her, but she didn't want to scare her into tears.
Li hurriedly comforted, "Xiaoyu doesn't cry!" Your sister is scared of you, your teeth are going to fall out when they are getting new ones, you see, Xiaole's teeth fell out and grew new ones. ”
Yanni also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! You see, I also changed my teeth, our teeth are white, and the fifth brother's teeth are black, so our teeth are not eaten by insects. ”
Alas! Her inner age is the age of Li's, and she has to go through a tooth change, and it feels really unpleasant to occasionally leak air when she says something.
On the reunion festival on August 15, the academy had a five-day holiday from the thirteenth, and Chen Xiaocai went to the county to pick up Chen Shixuan.
found that he had lost a lot of weight, and he became less and less talkative, which made Li feel distressed, and kept asking him how he was doing in the academy? He just talked about it, and he was doing well.
On August 14, Chen Xiaocai took his brothers and sisters to Li's mother's house to send a festival gift, and they used it all the way, and a few small ones were tired, but fortunately, those things were carried by Chen Xiaocai in a basket, otherwise they would be even more tired.
As soon as they walked in the door, Grandma also walked out from inside, "Shixuan, Xiaoyan, Xiaole, Xiaoyu, you are all here!" Tired of walking so far, right? Come in and rest. ”
Seeing that Chen Xiaocai was carrying so many things, he said, "This is a long way, it's good for people to come, how can you pick so many things, and you're not afraid of getting tired?" ”
"Mother-in-law, don't worry! I'm not tired. ”
The grandmother led them into the house and shouted, "Eldest sister and second sister, your uncle and cousin are here, bring some water." ”
I didn't see anyone, but I heard a voice from a certain direction, "Milk, got it." ”
Without seeing a few uncles and aunts, Yanni asked, "Grandma, why don't you see your aunts and uncles?" ”
"Your uncle went to see Tianshui, and your aunt went to the vegetable field, and she will be back in a while. Your second and third uncles have also gone to give gifts to other houses today.
If only you had come yesterday, they were all here, and your aunt came back yesterday. By the way, your mother is better now? ”
When Chen Xiaocai heard the question about Li, he replied, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, A-Ying is much better now, and she can eat as much as before." ”
"I've been worried about it for a while, but now it's okay, my heart is finally back in my stomach."
It didn't take long for my grandfather to come back from outside, "They said that my eldest son-in-law and grandchildren were here, and I still didn't believe it!" He laughed as he spoke.
Chen Xiaocai hurriedly explained, "Father-in-law, I should have come earlier, didn't Xuan'er go to the county to study this year?" I only came back yesterday, so I only came today. ”
"It's good to go to the county to study! It's a pity that your cousins and cousins are not reading materials, you study hard, and let our old Li rub it off. Grandpa patted the boy on the shoulder and said.
They went back after lunch at their grandmother's house, and rented two ox carts on the way back, but unfortunately the ox carts could only go to the intersection of Lijia Village, and it took an hour to walk home from the intersection! Tired, Yanni sat on the side of the road and rested several times.
