Qiao Mai also knew that they didn't want to go back, but they couldn't say that they would stay, twelve months a year, the old couple would go back for two months, and the other ten months would be at home.

People also have sons and daughters, and they have to get together during the New Year's holidays.

On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, she steamed the red sausage and garlic sausage, and went to the old gentleman while it was hot.

It happened that they were about to have lunch, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly moved her to the kang.

"Girl, come, let's eat together?"

"I'm here to bring you something delicious, try it, bring some when you leave, I'll do your portion, I won't bring it to you if it's not delicious."

"It's delicious, it's going to be delicious."

Qiao Mai smiled and took the intestines out of the food box, they were all cut, and they were neatly stacked and placed on the plate one by one.

"What is this?"

"The sausages I made, eat them first, and you won't have an appetite as soon as you say it."

The two of them took chopsticks and ate a slice, "Oh, it's delicious, it's a bit like the luncheon meat you made." ”

"It's a little more delicate than that meat, and there's a little more seasoning."

"Not bad, not bad,"

"There is also a kind of sausage, I didn't take it for enough time to dry, I steamed these two kinds of sausages, and when I ate it, it was good to heat it in the pot, and the sausage was called sausage, and it took two quarters of an hour to steam it in the pot."

"Is it impossible to eat at your house?"

"I'll take it with you when you go, and you'll be able to eat it when you get home."

"What else do you want to bring us?"

The two of them ate their intestines with relish and asked about the New Year's goods she gave them.

"There are also twenty pieces of sauce meat, and the bacon with sauce flavor is better than bacon."

"Anything else?"

"Fruits, braised pig's trotters, sauerkraut, pickles, everything, a truckload of things, I will hire a carriage and send it to the palace together."

"I just like you girl, it's really caring."

"Okay, you eat, I'll go back."

"Wait."

Mrs. Wang turned around and took out a delicate gift box from the kang cabinet.

She put it on the table, with a look in her eyes and a mouth.

"Take it, this is for you to wear for the New Year, you have become the master of a big family, you can't make do with it anymore, you have to dress yourself up beautifully, you know?"

Qiao Mai glanced at Mrs. Wang, and saw that her attention was focused on the intestines, and she didn't look at the box at all, and so did the old gentleman.

She stretched out her hand and opened it directly on the kang table, and it turned out to be a complete set of ruby heads.

"Ah, don't talk about it, you still have such a good head in vain, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

The two old men couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Look at you, you still have to sell cheaply, don't be pretentious, take it with you during the New Year."

"Even if the old lady rewarded it, then I will take it, and I will earn a good set of noodles with a plate of intestines, and I will make a lot of money."

"Look at your money-obsessed look."

"Money has to be saved by being a fan of wealth, and those who are not fans of money are monks and boys who scatter wealth."

"Hurry up and take it away."

"Okay, I'm leaving, we're our own people, I won't thank you."

Qiao Mai buttoned the lid, picked up the box and left, humming a song in a good mood as he walked.

The two old men smiled at each other, "This girl, I just feel comfortable getting along with her." ”

"It's a good thing for you to press the bottom of the box."

"If you don't bring it in life, if you don't bring it in death, my things will be pleasing to the eye, believe it or not, we will both retire in her house, and she won't say a word of complaint, what a good woman."

"Did you notice? I didn't live with her, and I made an excuse that Chuan'er was small, and she was frightened when she was a child, and she couldn't leave people at night, so she needed him to accompany her."

"I found out earlier, let's not get involved in their affairs, anyway, people get along very well, whether they are born or adopted, they have four children, and it doesn't matter if they sleep or not, maybe the family can't be humane? Or is it something else? We're so old, don't worry about that. ”

"Well, as long as they're okay."

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the four brothers of the Yuan family came, carrying things in their hands, waiting for their mother-in-law to go in and report at the door.

Yuan Jiaqi was stunned when he heard this, and asked his mother-in-law to invite them to the living room, and he put down his books and went to the living room.

When he saw the four brothers, he was not surprised, but his face was calm.

"Sit down."

"Fifth child, although my father and mother are wrong, we are still brothers, we have not been separated for a year, and we all want to come and see you."

As they spoke, they put their things on the table and sat down in the guest chairs.

"Thank you, there is nothing missing at home, you better take it back and give it to the children."

"After the separation, our families have had a better life, this is for you and Chuan'er."

"Do you need me to do something?"

"No, I just wanted to see you."

"I'm sorry, you brought a gift, but I can't give you a gift in return, being someone's son-in-law, eating others, spending people's people's money, I can't wipe my face and take other people's."

The four brothers hurriedly waved their hands, "We are not here for your return gift, you were rubbed by your father and mother, and several of our brothers did not help you, and now I regret it when I think about it, but, brothers are still brothers, we are your brothers, if you have something in the future, remember to call us, you can do it if you don't have money." ”

The Yuan family was a little touched in his heart, but the surface was still the same as before.

"Then thank you, little brother."

After saying what to say, the four brothers said goodbye and left, and Yuan Jiaqi sent them to the door of the house, watched them go away, and then turned back.

He carried the things back to his yard, and when Chuan'er saw the things, he put the book down and asked.

"Dad, what's that?"

"Your uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle came to see what we bought."

Although he didn't have a smile on his face, he knew that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"Dad, do you want to be with them?"

"It depends on their performance, your grandma is impossible, but a few of them are not bad, they just can't afford to provoke your grandma, and they don't dare to help their father."

"Then if you have a good plan, it is best to tell your mother to see if she is willing to accept this relative."

Qiao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "That's certain, Dad can't chill your mother's heart." ”

After Qiao Mai knew about this, he didn't care about it, but he praised Yuan Jiaqi's character.

Worship the prefect's father as a teacher, not arrogant or boring, down-to-earth study, not because now that he has money and power, he is proud, treats people and things, and as before, maintains his heart, which is very rare.

I just don't know, when he becomes an official in the future, the beautiful women and talented women around him are like clouds, will he still be so calm?

On this day, Miss Wang sent someone to send a New Year's gift from Fucheng, a whole car of good things.

Qiao Mai sighed and accepted it, it seems that this gift is indispensable, let's have another cart of fruits that don't need money.

If someone sends one car, she has to return two cars.

On the morning of the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the Wang family came to pick them up, and the two old men didn't want to leave.

The girl who came insisted on getting into the car, followed by several trucks, tightly wrapped in quilts, for fear of freezing on the road.

On the afternoon of the twenty-eighth, Liu Hai and Liu Ye came to see Qiao Mai.

"Cousin, cousin."

"Well, isn't it a holiday?"

"Yes, we are here to tell you, my mother said, if my cousin does not return to her mother's house in the second year of junior high school, you can come to the willow hoard, although my family has nothing to entertain, but my mother and her corn flour tortillas are delicious, and the sweet potato porridge is also very fragrant."

As he spoke, he was embarrassed to say more.

"Thank you aunt for me, I won't go to the second year of junior high school, how can you go back to the village later?"

"I've already talked to someone's ox cart."

"Wait a minute."

Qiao Mai glanced at the mother-in-law outside, "Go to my courtyard to find Yuehong, ask her to hand over the things I prepared to you, and then send them here." ”

"Yes, master."

Qiao Mai gestured to the guest chair, "You two can sit down." ”

"Bcc, bum"
