Chapter 338: A lot of inhibitions
Chapter 338: Lotto Uninhibited
One by one, the families reported are all famous families or magnates in Xiangshan County.
There are at least a dozen of them, and the gifts are piled up in Liujiatang.
The two elders of the Liu family looked at the dazzling array of things and were worried.
"How could we have these things in the past? You said that this gift came, we don't know each other, why did you suddenly find the door? Old woman Liu had a worried face.
"Those people are all the titles of our people, and they are afraid that it is the name of the county lord, otherwise how could the nobles who couldn't climb before suddenly give gifts to our villagers." The old man was relieved, "Don't think about it, people give gifts, let's go away and give a return gift, just don't lose face." ”
"I'm just worried about how to return the gift, you look at these gifts, they are all precious things, the key is that we don't need them. What's going on? If you want to go back and forth according to this arrangement, you have to spend a lot of money. "The old woman is distressed!
Their family's money is all earned by the hard work of Nannan and his son and daughter-in-law in the family to plant fruit trees and medicinal herbs, how can they use it to save face?
Listening to the old woman's words, the old man looked through the gifts, all of which were silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry.
It really doesn't need it, and the good fabrics stacked in their storeroom can't be used up.
The ladies of the family never wore extra gold and silver jewelry, showing off blindly.
As for the famous wine and tea, the old man is a little disgusted, how can these things catch up with the health wine and health tea that their family concocted for them.
"When the girl gets up, ask her to see what happens." Old man Liu said.
It's not as simple as it seems.
At first glance, it seems that it is to give gifts to their families and make friends with the county lord, but what ideas the people behind them will not tell you clearly.
They are all mud-legged, countrymen, and they don't know so much.
If you take it all with your head and brain, you may get into trouble for their family.
Liu Yusheng slept lazily, and when he went to the hall with Fu Yuzheng, he saw a large family worried about a pile of gifts.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, second uncle and aunt, what's wrong?" Walking over, Liu Yusheng's eyes fell on those gifts, "Who sent these things?" ”
The family looked at it together, "They are all rich and noble families in the county, they have never been in contact with each other before, and they are all from the county lord He Ruyi." ”
Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng glanced at each other, and a flash of surprise flashed in each other's eyes.
"Nannan, do you want to accept these gifts, and what will happen if you receive them, you tell grandma, and when grandma comes forward, you don't care, I'm worried that those people will hit your idea."
Liu Yusheng nodded and said with a smile, "Okay." ”
In fact, this is just to reassure the old man.
Those people had already made it clear that they would give gifts to the county lord of Ruyi, and she couldn't get rid of the relationship.
Those people in the county town were moved when they heard the news, thinking that they had heard the news in Beijing.
What they want to cling to is not her Ruyi County Lord, but the King of Nanling behind them.
"It's just some ordinary New Year's gifts, don't be so nervous, it is estimated that those rich and noble families have become county lords, and if they want to make friends, we treat them with ordinary hearts." Fu Yuzheng also comforted several elders, "In the capital, it is very common for people to give gifts to each other in the same circle to maintain personal contacts, even if this gift is accepted, it is not a big deal, and others can't handle anything." ”
"Really?"
"That's true."
The two girls smiled calmly, and the hearts of the family also calmed down.

They don't know much about the ways of the upper circles, but they don't hear much about the dirt between the powerful and the rich on weekdays, and they are inevitably more worried.
On the contrary, the excitement of being included in the upper circles on an equal footing, they do not have at all.
Being not recognized, it doesn't matter to them where they are, they are just ordinary farmers living in Xinghua Village, and they share their own lives. There is no need for an outsider's affirmation or denial. They don't live for anyone else.
"Then what should we do with these New Year's gifts?" When the old woman asked, there was nervousness in her eyes.
"Let's treat everyone equally, and all the fruit wine from our Xinghua Village Winery will be completed, plus a small jar of medicinal wine."
"Just send the wine?"
"Just send the wine."
"Ouch, then my wife can rest assured!" The old woman patted her thigh, and the whole person relaxed, "I thought we were going to send silk satin, gold and silver jewelry or something, and then we had to spend silver to buy it, and I was worried about it all morning!" ”
The family laughed.
"Mother, your little money box is almost full of silver tickets, are you still afraid to spend that?" Liu Er quipped.
"I don't feel sorry for spending it on you, but spending it on others is like cutting meat. I'd rather not take a gift, and I wouldn't give out money. The old woman laughed, it was all earned by her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson.
It is the foundation of their family, and they will keep it for the children to share later.
Liu Er immediately stepped forward and hugged the old lady's thigh, "Mother, you can spend the silver on me now!" No matter what! ”
"! Go kill chickens, it's time to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dinner! ”
Old Man Liu kicked over first and kicked the person away from the old daughter-in-law.
Liu Er escaped out of the door, and said helplessly, "Dad, you can't kick people and leave some strength, I have new clothes!" Bring all the footprints! ”
The people in the room leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.
Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu came out late, only to see Liu Er howling and going to catch chickens in the cage of the stove room.
Xue Qinglian's eyes lit up immediately, she didn't enter the hall, and followed up directly with the stove, "Second uncle, what about killing chickens?" ”
"Yes, this kind of rough work has to be done by the old man!" Men do heavy work, which has become the default rule in the family.
But whoever needs physical strength belongs to the masters.
From farm work in the field, moving and lifting, to killing chickens, slaughtering geese, cutting meat, chopping minced meat, etc., all belong to this category.
This rule can no longer be studied when it was implemented, he only remembers that the reason is that their family said that they spoil their daughters as princesses, and that is a good man.
For this, the big men of the family began to spare no effort.
Seeing their own girls smiling sweetly, it's worth it!
"Second uncle, I'm also a gentleman, I'll kill the chicken! You go and rest! ”
"Can you do it?"
"Why not, there are still things that I Xue Qinglian can't do?" Xue Qinglian rubbed her hands, took the big clucking from Liu Er, and then drove people, "Just leave it to me, you go to the fire." ”
Liu Erzhen left, "There is still a big grass carp in the basin over there, you can deal with it together." ”
"Okay, rest assured!"
Soon there was a long rooster crowing in the stove, and then there was silence.
When the hour was almost up, when the old woman took her two daughters-in-law to the stove room to prepare for cooking, she was dumbfounded when she looked at the scene in the stove room.
"Qinglian, what are you doing here?"
"Kill chickens and fish." Xue Qinglian grinned.
