Chapter 211: Gift-giving
Shen smiled and said: "You are too anxious, this child is not yet a full moon, a few uncles have prepared things in advance, I see, what are some good things?" ”
"Mother, you are still laughing at us, my little sister said that you had already made a set of rich and long-lived golden locks and gold collars from the Wenjia Silver Building in Anzhou City, but I am afraid that you would have sent them over a long time ago, right?" Zifu said with a smile.
Zifu gave the child an inkstone, and said: "In the future, my nephew will study hard to test his fame, otherwise, if he is blind, I will beat him." ”
Ziqing didn't know what to do with the inkstone, so she took it and saw that the inkstone was square, and the stone patterns on the surface were like thin ice cracking, but two pine trees were carved with the lines, which were quite elegant, and said: "Big brother, you are too stingy, why did you send us a broken inkstone?" ”
Zifu gave Ziqing a brain jump, and said: "You know how much effort I put into finding the baby, you actually said it was broken, don't open your mouth casually if you don't understand, your second brother has begged me for a long time, but unfortunately, I just have this one." ”
"This is really a good thing, your eldest brother is so easy to make a generous move, my sister quickly put it away, don't let the eldest brother regret it." This inkstone is the first of the four famous inkstones, warm and moist to start, like jade, no matter how cold the weather is, the ink in it will not solidify. The second brother can only give his nephew a jade pendant, and when the nephew chooses his name, let the junior engrave it, which is a serious mutton fat jade. After Zilu finished speaking, he handed Ziqing a round piece of mutton fat thin jade.
Ziqing secretly said ashamed, and said: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm really lonely, who told you to usually don't teach me more things, and I'm not a scholar, so I often use these objects." It's like the second brother, I know at a glance that it's a good mutton fat jade. Thank you. ”
"Sister, look at me, can you know me?" Zishou is a seal carved in stone, warm and bright. At first glance, it is superb.
"Isn't it Shoushan Stone?" Ziqing thought of the TV shows she had watched before, as if she had introduced them, and they were as famous as the bloodstones that Ziqing picked up that time, and they were all wonderful and superb in the stone. But it's much more valuable than gold.
"You're really knowledgeable, and it's not in vain that I've put a lot of effort into it." Zishou touched his head and said with a smile.
Zixi also prepared a jade pendant, a statue of Guanyin carved from mutton fat jade, which can be hung around the neck.
"This is all my family money, I have saved it for several years, brother-in-law, my pocket money is gone. My third brother and I have been selling couplets for several years. I made up these two things. Zixi said with a bitter face.
Ziqing laughed when she heard this, Lin Kangping couldn't hold it back, and pointed at Zixi and said, "You didn't come here today to give a gift to your nephew, but you came to ask for pocket money?" ”
Liu also smiled and said: "That's good, the fourth child knew that his sister was going to give birth to a son a few years ago, and he began to prepare gifts?" Who else can have this treatment? Little Si, you are really a fairy. ”
"What is this, the silver has been saved for several years. Gifts are cash purchases. Zishou said.
This became more and more precious, and before the eldest sister got married, the younger brothers began to save money to prepare gifts for their nephews. When this nephew grows up in the future, he can't forget these two uncles. Chen also smiled.
The family was talking and laughing, and Xiaoqing brought Ziqing a bowl of thick fish soup, and the milky white fish soup floated a few green onions. It's been three days, and this time the Shen family told Mrs. Liu to put a little salt, so Ziqing drank it very fragrantly, Zixi looked at Ziqing and said, "Sister, I look at the strange fragrance, why don't I taste it too?" ”
"The fourth brother is really a child. I am greedy when I see what others eat. Liu smiled.
Ziqing hurriedly instructed Xiaoqing to send another bowl of fish soup, and Shen said: "If you want to say that these children, it is true that he and Yu'er have never been hungry or sinned, and he grew up with Qing'er." Qing'er has loved to tinker with food since she was a child, and the two of them are no longer a pair of foodies. ”
Everyone laughed, Zixi's face was a little unbearable, after all, there are Liu and Chen, it is better for his family to let go, Ziqing saw this and said: "Mother, what is Daddy doing at home?" Why don't you stay here and eat today? ”
As he was talking, Chen's maid came to find Chen with Yongsong in her arms, and the child was hungry, so Zifu and the others left.
In addition to eating and drinking every day, Ziqing now wants to do the most is sleeping, the child has to wake up three or four times a night, Ziqing has to get up and hold the child to feed, change diapers, fortunately, when the child sleeps during the day, Ziqing can also make up for a while. Lin Kangping felt sorry for her, and he learned to change diapers and wash the child's buttocks. On this day, Ziqing was sleeping again, Lin Kangping looked at the child, and Lin An came over and said that Aunt Ziqing was here.
Lin Kangping instructed Xiaolan to guard the child, and he took Xiaoqing to the hall to meet the guests, Yan Renda Chunyu came with three cents, four cents, five cents and osmanthus flowers, Lin Kangping looked at the basket on the ground, which was also about twenty eggs and a small piece of meat. I wanted to drive the other party out, but suddenly remembered Shen's words, so I should accumulate some virtue for the child, and when I learned that the other party had not eaten, I ordered Mrs. Wang to prepare a table of guest meals.
"My niece and son-in-law are really blessed, such a big family business, my son's first child will be a man in one fell swoop, I want to celebrate and celebrate well, and set up a banquet for a few days. Ziqing was smart when she was a child, and her aunt watched her grow up, so she couldn't be wrong. Among these children, your aunt hurts Ziqing the most. No, as soon as I heard that she had given birth to a child, I hurriedly left my family work to visit, and I didn't even go to prepare the New Year's goods. After Yan Renda finished speaking, he said to Chunyu: "Didn't you say that you miss your niece at home, why don't you take a look?" ”
"My aunt was polite, and Kang Ping thanked Ziqing. But Ziqing hasn't slept well these days, so she will be catching up on sleep, and she just fell asleep. Lin Kangping said.
"Kangping, you also know that over the years, because of your eldest cousin and Gui Ying, we really can't stand Ziqing, but, after all, so many years have passed since this matter, and the days of the two of you have become more and more prosperous, no, now that you even have a son, you adults have a lot of past things, and they have passed over, ah?" Yan Renda said.
"That's it, niece and son-in-law, last time Gui Ying wanted to get married, we came to deliver the letter, and you didn't go over to have a glass of wine, and we won't pick on you, no, I heard that Ziqing gave birth to a son, so my aunt hurried over, I won't mention the previous things, and our Gui Ying has also been delayed for several years, and we don't blame anyone." Chunyu said.
"Now, it's easy for your cousin to find a way to make a living, and he wants to cooperate with your eldest brother-in-law to open a restaurant, and he even looks at the shop, but he can't make up the money. Your grandma told Ziqing, and Ziqing didn't say she disagreed. You see if it's a foil to help you, my niece has even given birth to a son for you now, so look at Qing'er's face, your family has a big business, just miss a little bit, not too much, one hundred and two hundred taels of silver is enough, and when they earn silver in the future, they will pay you back. Yan Renda said.
Who is Lin Kangping, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he had touched a nail at Ziqing, turned around and hit him, and pointed to him to borrow silver, I really don't know whether to laugh at them for being stupid or laughing at them for being greedy, people with a little common sense know it, how can they open this mouth?
"Look at what my aunt said, I just have a little bit of a thin property, and I have bought land. Now that it's the end of the year, I still have a lot of things to do, people's monthly money to be paid, and a year's accounts to be closed. New Year's gifts are to be given everywhere. When the food came, my aunt and uncle used it slowly. Just now, my aunt also said that there are many things at home at the end of the year, and I will not leave you in vain. After Lin Kangping finished speaking, he left, leaving Xiaoqing to wait.
Yan Renda and Qiu Yu's faces were flushed with anger when they heard this, they didn't expect Lin Kangping to refuse them so simply, they didn't give them any face, they wanted to raise their legs and leave, when they saw the table full of food, the children's eyes lit up, and they had already waved their chopsticks to grab it, where could they care about anything else?
The table full of dishes was swept away, Yan Renda took the lead in burping, wiped the oil on his mouth, Wumao was eleven years old at this time, and said: "It's really enjoyable, it's better than what we eat for the New Year." This table is worth more than the gift we gave. ”
"Well, what might Daddy bring you here for? Isn't it just to eat back? ”
"What's more, you see that maid is better than us, I said earlier that my mother would send me over to be a maid for two years, but my mother didn't send it." Osmanthus complained.
"What didn't I deliver? People don't want it, okay, let's go to your grandmother's house first. I'll go back after dinner at your grandmother's house. Chunyu said.
Xiaoqing sent Chunyu's family away, and warmed up Xiangyuan to report to Ziqing, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and fed her soup, Ziqing was awkward, and said: "I stink, I haven't washed it for a few days, you stay away from me, or you shouldn't dislike me." ”
"Nonsense, I smell very good, as long as it's you, I love to smell whatever it is." After saying that, he kissed again.
Xiaoqing's face turned red when she heard it outside, and she turned around and left.
"By the way, just now your aunt and they came over, I listened to my mother's words, accumulated some virtue for our son, didn't drive them out, and left a table for dinner, but your aunt and aunt are too funny, and they actually opened their mouths to ask me for silver, and they asked for one or two hundred taels when they said it, and they didn't talk to their brains, and I didn't bother to distinguish them from them, a pair of fools. I told Lin An Lin Fu, and the next time they come back, they will say that we are not at home. I don't bother to look at their faces. ”
"It's really thick-skinned, hum, I don't want to think about it, the osmanthus relatives come to send a letter, not only do we not pass, but we also don't have a penny of gift money, and it is clear that they don't come and go. Grandma and Auntie didn't agree to borrow money when they opened their mouths, and they dared to talk to you, which is really ignorant and stupid. Looking at the fact that I gave birth to a son, I don't care about the past with them? Forget it, I can't reason with them clearly, just don't get along, and we won't participate in their affairs. Ziqing said.
"No, I think so too, it's good if I didn't trouble them, it seems that the recent days have been too smooth." Lin Kangping lowered his head and said. (To be continued)
