Chapter 450: New Year's Gift
I was angry in my heart, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu's mother prepared for Qin Qing, and when she went back to her parents' house to pay New Year's greetings, it was very perfunctory.
Small half a catty of peanuts, perfunctory can no longer be perfunctory, just this New Year's gift, can't be taken at all, and if outsiders know, their family will definitely be laughed at.
You must know that at this time, even if it is in the countryside, it will not take this little thing back to your parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
She is embarrassed by Qin Qing, as long as she is soft, says a few good words, and guarantees that she will not do things as tricky and mean as before in the future, she will give her the real New Year's gift.
She had already prepared something, a pound of mung bean cake, half a pound of brown sugar, as soon as this thing was taken out, who wouldn't give a thumbs up!
But who knows, Qin Qing glanced at the New Year's gift she had prepared and didn't say anything.
"Liu Chen, hurry up, if you grind again, you won't be able to catch up with lunch." Today's Chinese New Year, her parents designated that they would make delicious food at home.
To be honest, she was a little homesick when she had only been married for a short time.
Although the things are not good, as long as Liu Chen dares to take it to her, then she will dare to take it home, not only that, but she will also go all the way to promote her.
Even if she goes to the house of relatives and friends to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, she will bring up this topic every once in a while, anyway, she is not afraid of being embarrassed, and she is not afraid of others watching her jokes.
"Oooh, I'll be fine right away." Liu Chen's attitude was much better than before.
Before, he also regarded Qin Qing as the same character as his mother, that is, he had a low status, and he was obedient and absolutely obedient to him, but now that Qin Qing is not easy to mess with, his attitude naturally changed.
Mother Liu had been waiting for Qin Qing to come to her to give in, but as a result, the two of them were going to leave with their things.
"Qin Qing, did you see the New Year's gift I prepared for you and brought it back to your parents' house?" She asked with some uncertainty, what if Qin Qing didn't see it!
"I saw it!"
"Mom, don't worry! Since I am married to the Liu family, I must be on our side, you can prepare anything, even if you don't prepare, I will not have an opinion. After speaking, Qin Qing took off the piece of cloth covering the basket.
"No need to cover the cloth, let's take it generously, how good these peanuts are! How many people can't eat it if they want to! ”
"My grandmother used to say that peanuts nourish people, and eating them is good for the body."
Liu Chen glanced at the things in the basket and didn't speak, it was none of his business, the things were prepared by his wife, and Qin Qing wanted to take them, he was just an innocent passerby.
What he wants to prepare or what he takes, it has nothing to do with him, how can a big man care about such a thing.
"No, don't you dislike this thing?"
"Will your parents be upset if you take this stuff back?" Mother Liu asked sensationally.
She herself is also a person who has daughters, except for the one in the countryside, the remaining two daughters, when they come back for the New Year, they are all big bags and small packets, brown sugar pastries, that is the standard, and sometimes, the fish and meat are also taken back.
She thinks that she is not a philistine, but when her daughter returns to her parents' house, the things in her hand are too few and too thin, and she will be a little unhappy, feeling that she has lost the face of their old couple.
Qin Qing waved his hand very heroically: "Don't care what the two old things think, what do we have to take, if you can bring them some peanuts, it will already give them face, if you dare to show a little disgust in front of me, I will go back to my parents' house in the future, and I won't bring a single hair." ”
"Mom, don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who has some good things at home and wants to pull them to my mother's house, I don't do anything outside of eating, besides, my parents also have a salary of fifty or sixty yuan a month, which is not worse than me. ”
It's true, she really doesn't care how much she takes back, whether it's more or less, anyway, it doesn't end up in her mouth.
Of course, she also wanted to take this opportunity to give her mother-in-law a reputation and push the boat down.
"That's good, that's good." Mother Liu was obviously not so happy, but she still barely pulled out a smile at the corner of her mouth.
She didn't know how to stop Qin Qing, after all, she took out the thing, and she asked Qin Qing to take it back to her parents' house, this time, if she said no, saying that it didn't look good to take this little thing, wouldn't this be a slap in the face?
At this time, Liu Chen's eldest sister came back to her parents' house with the boy and child, which was considered to have relieved her.
"What's wrong, this is?" Liu Chen's eldest sister Liu Yulan is a capable person, and her personality is also very happy, and when she saw that the situation at home was not quite right, she immediately asked.
"Your brother and daughter-in-law are going back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings! I prepared some New Year's gifts for them. Mother Liu motioned to the boss to look at the little broken basket.
As soon as Liu Yulan saw something, she knew what was going on, wasn't it just her mother stealing chickens and rice, and she was there?
If her younger siblings really took that little thing back to their parents' house, the face of the family would not be stepped on by the other party in the mud and spread out, I don't know, I still think that their family is so mean and stingy!
"Brother and sister, Mom is joking with you, how can I really let you bring some peanuts and go back to your parents' house, it's impossible."
"In this way, I brought back half a catty of meat this time, and a catty of red bean cake, which is a little bit of my eldest sister's heart, you can take it with you!"
"Liu Chen, when you arrive at Yue's house, do you want to look at your eyes and smoke? Even if you don't smoke it, you should order one for your father-in-law and the neighbors you meet. Liu Yulan felt that she was heartbroken for this family.
"Eldest sister, this is what you got back, how can I have that face, take yours." Qin Qing excused himself and didn't want it.
Liu Yulan felt that she was still angry: "You just take it!" It's a little bit of my heart, and if I don't take it, I'll be angry. ”
"I really can't ask for it" Before Qin Qing finished speaking, Liu Yulan directly put the things in the small basket.
"Take it, or I'll be angry."
After sending the little couple out, Liu Yulan began to train Liu's mother, because she was close and could help her at home and abroad, so Liu's father and Liu's mother could roughly listen to her words.
"You said you, what's the strength of being a young man with her, it's good that I'm here this time, otherwise I really let her go back like this, you just wait to listen to the cool words!"
This small county town is a big place, and the two families live in the city, and it is not far away, and there are not too many places where they intersect.
"I just want to pinch her, Yulan, don't you know, these days, how much she has gone too far, I won't talk about splashing it with hot soup, it's a cold day, at night, she also locked your brother out, it's really impossible to have no day."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come up with this trick to pinch her! Who knows, if she doesn't accept the offer, she will be angry with me. ”
