Chapter Seventy-Three: New Year's Gifts
Seeing this, Liu Yiyu sighed slightly in his heart, don't care about Zhang Xin's family first? During this period of time, Liu Yiyu came into contact with Zhang Xin and Zhang's shopkeeper, and both of them were very good, but what about the female relatives in their family? In addition, there is a huge disparity between the two families now, and their own family is in such a situation, at least their own family has not settled in Shangu Village, and before they built their own houses, I am afraid that it is impossible for the second sister and Zhang Xin, at least not now, plus the two of them are still young, if in the future, the affection of the two of them has not changed, Liu Yiyu also wants to help the second sister.
When Zhang Xin came to fetch birds for the last time, he took away more than 300 birds, and the last time the Liu family sold the silver money, there were three taels of silver and four hanging money, plus the Liu family had saved ten taels of silver and three hanging coins before, and now the Liu family has saved a total of thirteen taels of silver and seven hanging money.
After saving more than a dozen taels of silver, Liu Yiyu pondered that he would build an earthen embryo house at home, and he had nothing at home, so he had to use silver to buy it. I'm afraid that it will cost seven or eight taels of silver to build an earthen embryo house.
Now that he has saved thirteen taels of silver, Liu Yiyu no longer wants to build an earthen house, but wants to build a blue brick house, and it is precisely the fulfillment of that sentence that the greater the ability, the greater the ambition.
It's just a blue brick house, and there is no one that can't be built at all if it's more than fifteen taels.
However, they are not in a hurry to build a house in the spring, and when spring comes, after the honeysuckle grows, they can sell a batch of honeysuckle, and then save the silver to build a blue brick house.
Liu Yiyu told her grandmother and mother about her thoughts first, and at first the two of them were a little hesitant, worried that their money was not enough, and even the problem of having enough food in the future.
Liu Yiyu made it clear to the two of them, after the beginning of spring, the honeysuckle grows, and the family can pick the honeysuckle and sell it for money, and then in the summer, there are cicadas to pick up their shells, and there are fish and birds in winter, these are all income, plus after their own fields, don't worry about food and money.
After the two of them heard Liu Yiyu's words, it seemed that all the good directions were going to the eldest sister's words, the eldest sister had already painted a beautiful blueprint for them, the two of them thought about it, they could still live in a blue brick house in this life, and suddenly both of them were excited, and the two of them nodded again and again.
Waiting for the New Year always flies.
In a blink of an eye, it came to the day of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Early in the morning, Liu Yihao and Liu Yiyang put on the new clothes that Liu Li had made for them, and each of them carried a bamboo basket with three fish, one meat and twenty eggs in the bamboo basket to give New Year's gifts to Uncle Wang's family and Zhang Langzhong's family.
The Wang family.
"Bang Bang Tie".
"Who! It's coming, it's coming". Liu Yiyang knocked on the door of the Wang family, and on the other side of the door, the two dogs shouted.
"Dog, what about me Yihao and Yiyang? , open the door".
"Come in, it's cold outside, Yihao, what are you carrying, I'll help you." After the second dog opened the door, he hurriedly beckoned Liu Yihao and the two to come in.
"Dog, this thing is not heavy, I will carry it on my back." Liu Yihao leaned sideways, avoiding the hand that the second dog stretched out.
"That's done". Although the second dog is a little strange, Liu Yihao is carrying something from home, although it is strange, but the second dog did not ask much.
"Yihao and Yiyang, why are you here at this hour, have you eaten, my aunt will cook for you."
"Auntie, the two of us brothers ate, and today we came to my aunt's house, just nagging and nagging, and there are some things to do by the way." After the two brothers Liu Yihao came in to warm the house, they saw Sister Dahua and Aunt Wang sitting on the kang embroidering flowers and collecting the soles of shoes, and Uncle Wang sitting in front of the window, opening a thin slit in the window, smoking a cigarette.
As for Ergouzi, he brought a small stool for Liu Yihao and the two to sit on, and brought a plate of peanuts and melon seeds for Liu Yihao and Liu Yiyang to eat.
"The child is here, don't smoke it, don't choke Yihao and Yiyang when the time comes." Aunt Wang told Uncle Wang not to smoke, the two of them looked at each other, and each looked at the bamboo basket brought by Liu Yihao, as for Liu Yihao said that there were some things to do, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang didn't mention what the two of them did.
On the contrary, Ergouzi and Liu Yihao and Liu Yiyang chatted hotly, and Dahua interjected a sentence from time to time.
Half an hour later, Liu Yihao couldn't find the conversation, and gave the New Year's gift to the Wang family, suddenly, Liu Yihao was a little anxious, sat on the chair and twisted his body, as for Liu Yiyang was still young, he didn't know what the situation was, he ate peanuts and melon seeds vigorously, and his mouth didn't stop.
"Uncle Wang, auntie, my grandma and mother asked Yihao to send you something, saying that our two families will be good to walk around in the coming year." After Liu Yihao said this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the bamboo basket at his feet and said to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.
Before Liu Yihao could come back to his senses, he pulled Liu Yiyang, who was still eating melon seeds, out of the Wang family.
"You kid said you were good, why did you leave? The dog went to send them off Yihao".
"Mother, they're gone." The second dog went out of the house, came in to warm the house for a while, and said to his mother.
"Wow".
"Big flower, girl's family, what are you doing, pay attention to your image, worry about ...... in the future."
"Mother, you ....., take a look at yourself."
After Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang heard their daughter's words, they both got up and looked at the bamboo basket that Liu Yihao and they sent.
"It's ......". When Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang just came from Liu Yihao and their brothers, Liu Yihao said that there were some things to do, and the two of them guessed in their hearts, and eighty percent of Liu Yihao's brothers were from home to give New Year's gifts.
It's just that what Uncle Wang and his family didn't expect was that the New Year's gift sent by the Liu family, not to mention twenty eggs and a piece of meat, there were three fish weighing more than one catty in it.
"Old man, look at this ......, what gift will our family give to the Liu family?"
When Uncle Wang heard his mother-in-law's words, he fell silent for a while.
This gift, it's really hard to return?.
"Father, mother, what are you two still struggling with? Daughter looked, I'm afraid that the Liu family in the summer, that way to make money, made a lot of money, when the Liu family fled to the ravine village, our family did not help them Liu family, daughter look, one came to the Liu family also really went with our family, and the second came to the Liu family is also a favor will be repaid, now the Liu family has made some money in the summer, and when the New Year's gift is given, the Liu family will give it a little more valuable.
As for our family's return gifts, they are not limited to preciousness, they are appropriate, and the gifts are in line with their hearts."
