Chapter 608: Human Nature

Approaching the end of the New Year, relatives and friends or neighbors have begun to give New Year's gifts, this year the Hu family has received several New Year's gifts, most of which are prepared by guests who often come here, and sent the small servants at home to send them.

I have received several in the past few days, and today it is another one, and the gift is not expensive, but it is qualified.

Hu Xiucai said, "In previous years, these guests often came to take care of business, and they didn't see the New Year's gifts, but this year it is unusual. ”

Hu Shangxuan was also wondering why this was in his heart, but today he saw some fame, because with the New Year's gift, he also had business dealings with Xia Sanye, so it would be better for everyone to be closer.

Jiang Jingxue coaxed the child to sleep, and also came to help count the New Year's gifts, "I made a lot of candied fruit a year ago, it tastes very good, and the guests who came gave a jar, which can be regarded as our festival gift, not a loss of etiquette." ”

Hu Xiucai said, "It's a small thing." ”

Hu Shangxuan said with a smile, "We are just doing business, they come here to live fresh, there is no shortage of good things, but the candied fruit made by Xue'er can't be bought, they don't lose money." ”

Hu Xiucai is happy at this time, and his words are reasonable, Jingxue's craftsmanship is indeed worth it.

Although Jiang Jingxue said this, she was still thinking in her heart, if it was given this year, it is estimated that people will have to send it next year, and it will be necessary to put more effort into preparing some decent gifts before the year, so that it is not a loss of courtesy.

The husband and wife both knew it in their hearts, this was because Xia Sanye was moving around, just for the business of their villa, those people were like each other, and they knew that they had a relationship with Xia Sanye, so didn't they want to get closer?

I don't know what Xia Sanye's identity is, I'm curious, but I don't want to figure it out, knowing too much is not a good thing for ordinary people like them, it's good to be confused.

After receiving so many festival gifts, some things can be kept by yourself, but there is still food or something, and you definitely can't eat it at home, so you sent it to the Fang family and the Jiang family to taste some fresh food for the New Year.

fell asleep peacefully, Jiang Jingxue asked Ah Ling to look at the child, and she and Hu Shangxuan took something to send it.

The Fang family who went first, but the Fang family was also there, so he sat down and talked for a while.

It was close to noon before I went to Jiang's house, and a merchant came to the village, shouting loudly, "It's almost the New Year, but it's coming this time, what is missing at home can be added quickly, if you don't catch up with this time, what is missing for the New Year, then there is nowhere to buy." ”

Someone smiled and said, "You are a merchant who can't speak auspicious words, and you say that you are short of things during the Chinese New Year, do you still want to do business in our village?" ”

The merchant patted his mouth and said with a smile, "Auntie, forgive me, I'm stupid, otherwise I would have gone to the shop in the morning, how could I still pick up goods and sell things?" My aunt's family has bought all the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar? ”

When he asked this, the man really went to buy salt, and the other people who lacked something in their homes also hurried to buy it.

There are also piles of chicken feathers and duck feathers at home, and they hurriedly come and sell them, which can be exchanged for copper plates, or they can be exchanged for what they need, and barter.

Fang said, "The peppercorns at home are gone, and I need to use them for cooking during the New Year, so I went to buy some, and I don't know if this merchant brought them." ”

At this time, spices are precious things, and wild peppercorns are also available, but the taste is different, and the one sold is still better.

A few people bought some things in the past, and the merchant congratulated him with a smile, saying that it was a great joy that the Fang family Langjun was going to make the Liu family's young lady, and the Fang family was going to be the sister of the Liu family.

Fang said, "You're well-informed, and this hasn't been decided yet. ”

She doesn't want to say more, she doesn't talk about things that are undecided, and the more she talks about it, the easier it is to backfire.

In fact, when the merchant said such things, she felt uncomfortable, and no one in the village said it with such certainty, but the people outside knew.

If such words reach the ears of the Liu family, I am afraid that it will be uncomfortable.

The merchant smiled and said, "Hey, that's what happens when the pen is stained with ink, and sooner or later it will fall on the paper, congratulations to your family on a happy event." ”

After buying something and leaving, Fang said, "I don't know how this got out." ”

Jiang Jingxue said, "Everyone has a long mouth, if you say a word and I say a word, even if it is something that has not been done, it can also be said with a nose and eyes, but it is really not good to spread it like this." ”

But she thought again, she had been to the town a few days ago, and she had met some people, and she had never heard anyone mention it, and this merchant was the first.

Several people were a little puzzled, and sent something to Jiang's house, Jiang Jingxue and Hu Shangxuan also went back, and they were still talking about it on the way.

Jiang Jingxue couldn't figure it out, Hu Shangxuan said, "I have some guesses, and I don't know if it's accurate." ”

Jiang Jingxue was curious, "Shang Xuan said to listen to it." ”

"A few days ago, my uncle and aunt didn't go back to Duqiao Village, and the merchant was from Duqiao Village."

Jiang Jingxue blinked, "How do you know where he is from?" ”

Hu Shangxuan smiled, "Although he doesn't come often, but he is a son inheriting his father's business, his father used to come to the village often, he followed him a few times, I still remember." ”

Jiang Jingxue had to admire his memory, no wonder he could still pass the exam while studying while farming, his brain is easy to use, it's really not bragging.

"So, it was the uncle and the aunt who said it?"

Hu Shangxuan shook his head, "We don't know what the truth is, we just think that my uncle's mother's family and the merchant are in the same place, and I haven't heard anyone say it before, the time is right, Xu is going back to my mother's house and talking to my mother's family, and my mother's family is chatting in the village again, so the merchant listened." ”

Jiang Jingxue felt that eight or nine were not far from ten, and she was a little angry, but she couldn't say this to the Fang family, it was almost the New Year, if the Wen family knew, she would be angry again, and it would not be appropriate for the family to be noisy.

"Uncle is really ......"

She sighed and said, "On the day you were injured, Qingman wanted to follow him into the mountains to find someone, and my aunt once said that Qingman was an important man in the Fang family, and that Qingsheng was not as good as Qingman. ”

"I also know that I shouldn't ask people for help, but I think I don't have a place to be sorry for my aunt, we are in trouble, and my aunt said such things, but I can't act as if I don't know anything."

Hu Shangxuan said, "Human nature, in the face of major events, will always take care of themselves first, Xue'er takes care of me, and my aunt takes care of Qingman, which is understandable, but Xue'er is sincere, but she can't respond, and it's understandable to be unhappy in her heart." ”

Jiang Jingxue nodded and said with a smile, "You can always comfort me, and listening to you, I don't feel like a selfish person anymore." ”

"You're not."

The two went home, Jiang Jingxue was still pondering, after the New Year, the villa had to make some changes, and a person in charge had to be elected.
