Chapter 200: I can't be happy
This year, she didn't send any more fruits and vegetables, but prepared a set of pajamas, a cotton scarf, and a pair of gloves for the old lady, brightly colored, and flowers on them.
For Yuan Jiaqi and the old man, these are also prepared, but the color is very dark.
For male and female babies, there are cute small animal graphics, with beautiful colors that make people love it.
A high-end custom drill clamp was prepared for Ruyi, which was particularly beautiful and shiny.
What Mayor Qian prepared was a basket of sea crabs, as well as dried goods such as kelp.
Like sausages or something, they are sold in shops, and they are not rare, so they are not given to him.
The Lu family, she thought about it, but she still prepared, Lu Sanniang didn't know how to do anything, so she prepared fruits, vegetables and sausages and bacon for her.
To the prefect Wang's side, she also sent seafood products, saving the cattle shopkeeper from always worrying about not being able to sell them.
In fact, there are many southerners who live in the north, and the seafood is delicious and tastes really good, and the northerners must love to eat it.
It's not that there are no people who come to Qiao Kee snack shop to buy seafood, but there are no other goods that sell quickly.
In previous years, on the twentieth day of the lunar month, each family sent the New Year's goods over.
This year, the Wang family also sent it, there was no New Year's gift, they knew that the Qiao family ate better than the Wang family, so they sent the housekeeper to personally send a silver ticket of 100,000 taels.
said to give dividends, and really gave it, 100,000 taels is 20% of the Wang family's business, then Jiaru's side is 150,000 taels, and half is 250,000 taels, this Wang family can earn so much in a year, it's really good.
Mayor Qian gave her all kinds of dim sum from the Qian family's dim sum shop, and she also gave a lot.
Ruyi, the Qin family, and the shopkeeper Tong all sent her New Year's gifts early, but Lu Sanniang's side has not moved.
Qiao Mai sighed and sent the return gift the same, and the Lu family also had a share.
She won't change because Lu Sanniang has changed, she will change with her, she is still Qiao Mai, as long as she doesn't really turn her face, how to go on the road still has to continue.
After the old lady received the gift, she was very happy, and tried it in her pajamas at night, it was really comfortable and warm, she put on the scarf and gloves, and despite the dissuasion of the personal mother, she actually went around the door.
I didn't feel a trace of cold, and the old man also learned from her and tried it all.
"Is this overseas stuff really so good?"
"It's like, look at other people's things, why is it so good?"
The old man's eyes flickered, and he said in his heart, hum, overseas fart, this may be a fairy thing.
The two old men were rare, Yuan Jiaqi touched the pajama scarf, and the corners of his mouth grinned to the root of his ears.
The children happily changed into their pajamas at night and ran around underneath.
After Ruyi received the hair ornament, she brought beautiful bubbles in her hair, but she knew the preciousness of this thing.
I heard that such a hair ornament, a piece of thousands of taels, or even tens of thousands of taels, is the jewelry of the lady of the capital to chase the stick, it is difficult to buy.
Sometimes when she sees Ling'er and the other ones in the master's hair, she is still envious, and now that she has it, how can she not be happy.
In short, the things sent by Qiao Mai made everyone happy, but Lu Sanniang couldn't be happy.
She was caught in the middle, the eldest girl was too willful, which hurt Qiao Mai's heart, how embarrassed was she to accept the New Year's gift of the Qiao family, how embarrassed, and then take things for nothing with Qiao Mai, and get silver for nothing?
It wasn't until Qiao Mai sent the New Year's gift that she panicked and prepared a return gift for people to send over, she herself was embarrassed and felt that she had no face to pass.
This year, the old lady and the old man don't plan to go back to Fucheng, so they will celebrate the New Year at Qiao's house.
Wang Zongsheng was so anxious that he brought his wife and children to pick him up in person, and relatives and friends came to visit the elderly at home.
A family of three dragged the two old ones back.
Before leaving, Qiao Maisai gave Madame Wang a delicate box and asked her to go back and look at it again.
Zihan's medicine, she also brought him a bottle away.
Seeing him again this time, I feel much better than last time, not only is he well-behaved and sensible, but his eyes are no longer dull, and they have become smart.
Every time Mrs. Wang saw Qiao Mai, she had to say a bunch of words of gratitude.
There are two old people in the house, and there are fewer girls and mothers-in-law around them, and it is too quiet at once.
The weather outside was so good that the first light snow had fallen all winter until now, and I haven't seen snow since.
It's not just Jo Mai who feels abnormal, everyone realizes it.
I don't know if the next disaster will be a flood or a drought, but everyone is very worried.
But the New Year should be over, but everyone's heart is not very big, except for the few big families in the town, many people have begun to secretly hoard food.
Some of them even dug pits in their yards, and when they had nothing to do, they poured water into them, trying to stock up on some water.
The sun was shining, and the children of the Qiao family didn't have to go to class anymore, so they rode horses back and forth around the house when they had nothing to do, and Ling'er followed to play together, and they were very happy.
The joyful laughter of the children can be heard from outside.
Qiao Mai doesn't care about them, he can play as much as he wants, just be happy.
She occasionally went to the back vegetable field to see, followed the mother-in-law to pick some vegetables in the field, the old lady returned to the city, she also had to help the mother-in-law feed the poultry.
Winter eggs, quail eggs are very good to sell, and they can be sold out in a short time when they are placed in the shop.
Although the year is not good, business is still good.
This year was similar to previous years, except that the weather was so good, like spring, that Qiao Mai allowed the children to ride their horses outside to play.
It was rare for people in the town to see her children, and this appearance immediately became a bright spot.
The male baby is handsome and handsome, and the female baby is carved in pink, although it is not the best, but it looks very decent.
There are quite a few vendors in the town who want to make some money on the occasion of the New Year.
The children rode past them, and the vendors saw them and shouted louder.
They have money in either pocket, and they buy whatever they like.
What makes Qiao Mai feel relieved is that the children's hearts are all good, and when they see the children of those poor families, they will give them some when they buy something.
When you meet someone who asks for food, you will reward the other party with a few copper plates.
As soon as the Chinese New Year arrives, Qiao's porridge shed will be set up to help those who can't eat.
The Qiao family is kind and has always been famous in ten miles and eight townships.
It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the town returned to normal, but the weather was mixed.
Fortunately, last year's flood seeped a lot of water into the ground, so the drought was not visible for the time being, and the water in the surrounding rivers did not drop.
People still work as usual, and the sixty acres of land behind Qiao's house, as soon as spring strikes, the tenants begin to work in the fields.
With the Qiao family, a good owner, they had a good life last year.
The land planted is guarded by the river, and it is very convenient to water, and the three families are busy in the field.
As soon as the day was warm, Qiao Mai began to ask her mother-in-law to pickle some eggs and quail eggs every day, and then pickle some pickles.
It's not for her own family, but in case something happens, it's good to provide it to the victims.
Especially for grain, the two empty houses were full of white-flour rice and all kinds of crops.
It's certainly right to be prepared and prepared.
The day in March, just like April, at noon, wearing a thin jacket is sweating, do you think the weather is abnormal?
The old lady came back on the second day of February, and because relatives came there, they were delayed for some time.
As soon as they came back, the house became lively, and as soon as the old man and the old lady were free, they took the children out to go out, so there were more times when the children showed their faces in front of the people.
The two pairs of old goods of the Yuan family and the Qiao family, since the cattle shopkeeper blew them away and didn't let them sit outside the store, they changed camps.
ran to the opposite side, and when they came, they knew to bring a bench, and they sat here for a day, as if they were here to spy on Qiao's family.
When they saw Ling'er, the open-mouthed boss, especially the Qiao family, felt as if they had seen Tian Sanzhuang.
They are sure that this is definitely Tian Sanzhuang's daughter, and it is definitely his flesh and blood.
