Go to the Gu family to thank the teacher, entertain the guests who come to the door to say goodbye, and treat the Zhongju in the county seat, and then return to the hometown to continue to serve the wine for the Zhongju, for more than half a month, the Ming family and the Yu family have been busy with the joy of this matter.

The silver used for hospitality was spent like flowing water, and the gifts sent by the guests were also collected into the treasury of the two families.

By the time they were completely busy, except for Qi Su'e, a pregnant woman, and a few little dolls, including An Ge'er, the others from the master to the servants were all tired and lost three to five pounds.

The Wang family, the Xie family, the Tao family, the Zhou family, the Huang family, the Zheng family, the Chen family, the Qi family... In order to thank the relatives for their full help, the old man Ming and Mrs. Ming took the lead in sending the New Year's gifts to each family of the Ming family by three percent.

On the Yu family's side, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan also thickened the New Year's gifts sent to each family.

The Ming family, the Huang family, the Chen family, the Zheng family and the Tao family, who contributed the most, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan directly sent a car worth about twice as much as last year's New Year's gift.

As for the other relatives who also reached out to help, but did not contribute as much as these families, Mingyue also sent Liu San to send a generous gift to show her gratitude.

It is worth mentioning that when the lunar month was just over halfway through, the Ming family and the Yu family actually received a rich New Year's gift from northern Hebei at the same time.

The New Year's gift was sent by the boss Luo in northern Hebei, although this boss Luo had already returned to northern Hebei with his son for the New Year, but he had obviously been paying attention to Yu Jiayan and the Ming brothers.

Yu Jiayan was on the list, he sent the steward from Fucheng to send congratulatory gifts to Fuxing County, and now the New Year is about to begin, he actually sent the steward from northern Hebei to send New Year's gifts again.

Although he is so diligent, Yu Jiayan should be the main reason for their rescue of his son, but there are so many people in this world who don't want to repay their kindness, and it is relatively rare for Boss Luo to treat the Ming family and the Yu family as relatives and friends as serious courtesies after thanking him so much.

More people who have received the kindness of others, even if they have a heart to reciprocate the "benefactor", they will inevitably worry in their hearts that the "benefactor" will climb up the pole because of their good words.

In order to prevent the "benefactor" from embarrassing himself, ordinary people will basically repay this "grace" at one time.

What they don't know is that in fact, Boss Luo is not the kind of person who is completely unsuspecting of "benefactors".

He treated the Ming family and the Yu family with his sincerity, completely because he could see that these two families would never coerce him into retribution, so that he would break his muscles or bones or not get off the stage.

As a shrewd businessman with a lot of money, Boss Luo also has to pick people to make friends.

“... Ten pieces of Yajiang silk, two sets of spray-colored white porcelain wine sets, two sets of glazed white porcelain tableware, two beds of sheepskin mattresses, ten jars of old wine, ten catties of bacon, two boxes of sugar cakes, two boxes of silk cakes, two boxes of peanut halva, two boxes of honey sesame sugar, two baskets of mushrooms, two baskets of chestnuts, and then there is a pair of little lion rolling hydrangea statues carved from white marble, and a pair of small cloth tigers sewn by my wife, which my master specially asked the villain to bring to the little boy to play with on weekdays. ”

The steward sent by Boss Luo had the same shrewdness and ability as him, he smiled and saluted Yu Jiayan, and while presenting the gift list, he also reported the name and quantity of the gift.

Although Yu Jiayan was very surprised that Boss Luo actually sent someone all the way to give a New Year's gift, he quickly entered the state after really seeing this steward.

Seeing that the winter solstice had hot tea and snacks, he greeted the steward extremely calmly but enthusiastically, while Mingyue took Liu San's herbs and began to prepare a return gift to Boss Luo.

“... The old lady explained that the family prepared two inkstones, two fox skins, two wolf skins, six jars of good wine, ten preserved chickens, ten preserved ducks, two pork, two chambered sheep, two jars of red bean curd, two jars of white bean curd, two jars of canned yellow peaches, two baskets of frozen pears, two baskets of frozen persimmons, two baskets of frozen dumplings, two boxes of tower sugar, two boxes of dried pears, two boxes of dried apricots, two versions of frozen tofu, and then there were two new winter clothes made by the second wife for the sixth and seventh young masters with Hangzhou silk, and the old lady also asked Mr. Lin to add them to the return gift. said that he was the little young master of the Luo family, tall, short, fat and thin, and the two young masters of our family were almost inseparable. ”

Mingyue listened to the vanilla small. He said with a loud mouth, while thinking in his heart about what he wanted to give to the Luo family in return.

When Vanilla finished reporting the news she had inquired about, Mingyue also had a little bit of a score in her heart.

While planning in her heart, she told the Liu Sanjia and Vanilla the things she had thought of that were suitable for taking as a return gift, "Then let's send a pair of agate bracelets, two boxes of deer antlers, twenty catties of beef, twenty catties of bacon, twenty catties of sausages... The spicy and non-spicy sausages are ten pounds each. Then there is the lotus root in our cellar can come to two baskets, and the self-produced fish balls, shrimp balls, crab sticks, rice, millet, noodles, vermicelli and so on on our Zhuangzi can also come to ten catties and twenty catties respectively. There are also my homemade jams and preserved fruits in autumn, and our self-produced dates, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. ”

"As for the little master of his family, it is too late to make needlework for him, so I think it is better to pick out a few old books at home that have annotated Jiayan's reading experience and take a few suitable ones for him to go to northern Hebei."

Liu Sanjia responded, and then took the herbs to prepare the return gift, and Mingyue personally went to Yu Jiayan's study to choose books.

According to Yu Jiayan, the little master of Boss Luo's family is only five or six years old this year, and such older children are basically in the enlightenment stage, so Mingyue picked two old books that Yu Jiayan used when he was studying in the town.

It's not that Yu Jiayan really wrote anything remarkable on these two old books, but Yu Jiayan is now a big and small person, and the enlightenment books used by the old man represent Yu Jiayan and Mingyue's good wishes for Young Master Luo to be "on the list and have a bright future" in the future.

In addition to these two old books, Mingyue picked two of the several good pens collected by Yu Jiayan and put them into the gift box.

She had just arranged the return gift, and Yu Jiayan had already accompanied Ming Xu into the main house of the Yu family's second courtyard.

Mingyue heard the movement and hurriedly walked from the inner room on the east side to the hall, "Big brother? ”

"It's me." Ming Xu greeted her with a smile, "Something ready?" ”

Mingyue nodded, "I'm ready with my front foot, and you'll come to my house with your back foot." ”

The corners of Mingxu's lips hooked slightly, "Then it seems that I came at the right time." ”

Mingyue looked at him and Yu Jiayan with a smile, "What about the steward sent by Boss Luo?" Did you have someone take him somewhere else to rest? ”

Ming Xu nodded, "I asked them to take them to the alley next door to rest." ”
