Chen Jiaojiao understood in an instant, Changfang and Sanfang served the elders in their hometown, and they couldn't steal the limelight from the third uncle when they sent New Year's gifts all the way back.

Since the third uncle has made the fur there, it is indeed not suitable for them to send it again.

"It's still the mother who is thoughtful."

Liu Ruolan asked people to bring some supplements over, and after she opened the box one by one and checked them, she divided a few more copies.

"Let's go all the way to let people send New Year's gifts back, but we can't make any mistakes. No matter how expensive or cheap this thing is, we have to check it carefully. Don't make it seem like we're just perfunctory. ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law understands."

In fact, there are not many preparations for this New Year's gift, except for one from the old mansion, one from Uncle Xie's family, and then one from Liu's family.

The Cheng family also had to send it, but considering that they were in the filial piety period, Liu Ruolan only gave some things they could use, such as a kind of Tianshui hemp, this kind of linen cloth is actually what nobles usually use to make filial piety clothes.

Now that the Cheng family is keeping filial piety, it is appropriate to send some things like this to the past.

In addition, it is Xu Shanchang, the head of Mingshan Academy in Fucheng, because he is Xie Xiuwen's teacher, so this ceremony should be prepared carefully and comprehensively.

Xu Shanchang is old, Liu Ruolan asked people to find a few pieces of good leather, and good medicines such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum must also be prepared one by one, as well as fabrics for Mrs. Xu, as well as two sets of clothes made by Liu Ruolan for Mrs. Xu and two pairs of shoes made for Xu Shanchang.

Don't underestimate this kind of thing, look at it inconspicuously, in fact, what makes the elders the happiest is these clothes, shoes and socks that don't seem to cost much.

This is the best way to reflect the filial piety of a younger generation.

Liu Ruolan also made clothes and shoes for her parents, always feeling that she was too far away from home and could not serve in front of her, which was unfilial.

But for the second elder of the Xie family, Liu Ruolan is really just full of appearance.

Anyway, what they care about is fame and fortune, the more New Year's gifts they give, the more valuable they are, in their opinion, the more filial Xie Xiuwen is.

I have to say that this can be regarded as Liu Ruolan's favorite.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy for several days before they prepared the New Year's gifts of each family, and then packed the cages in a unified manner, although they were going with the caravan, but they were afraid that the New Year's gifts would be given wrong, so Liu Ruolan asked Fang Hu to pick two diligent and shrewd young people to go with them to give the New Year's gifts.

This time and again, it is estimated that it will be Chinese New Year's Eve when I come back.

As Liu Ruolan expected, when Xu Shanchang and Mrs. Xu received the New Year's gift of this big car, they were still complaining that Xie Xiuwen and his wife gave too many things.

After taking off the things one by one, I returned to the house and opened the boxes, only to find that one of the boxes was full of clothes, shoes and socks for them.

Since Xie Xiuwen worshiped Xu Shanchang as a teacher, Liu Ruolan would make some clothes, shoes and socks for the second elder every year, so as soon as this thing was in their hands, they could see that it was still from Liu Ruolan's hand.

Mrs. Xu sighed while touching her clothes: "This Ruolan is also a solid-eyed person, now that Zicheng has become a fourth-grade official, there must be people in the family to serve her, why do you always do these things in person." ”

That's what he said, but there was a bit of pride in his tone.

Xu Shanchang touched his beard, and first took the shoes and gestured at his feet: "Don't say it, the shoes made by Ruolan are easy to wear, the bottom of her shoes is thick, and it will not be too hard to walk after wearing it, even if there are many places to walk, the feet will not blister, and they will not be tired." ”

Xu Shanchang said that he was about to start changing his shoes, but his wife snatched the new shoes.

"Tell me about you, how old you are, and you can't see new shoes. This has to be kept for the Chinese New Year. You've got this pair on your feet, what are you going to do with this now? ”

The corners of Xu Shanchang's mouth twitched, as if he couldn't afford to wear a pair of shoes!

However, what he just said was also the truth, when Liu Ruolan made shoes, the hemp made at the bottom was different from what others made, and I don't know if it was because of the different techniques, or because she was willing to use materials.

This hemp is the main raw material for hand-made mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes, whether the shoes are good to wear, wear-resistant, wear-resistant, all here.

What Xu Shanchang didn't know was that Liu Ruolan and Xie Xiuwen were both grateful to this teacher, if it weren't for his careful teaching, and he didn't dislike Xie Xiuwen's background, I was afraid that Xie Xiuwen wouldn't be able to get to this point now.

Ordinary people make linen jackets, and the linen cloth used in them is basically used.

And Liu Ruolan took into account the identity of her husband, so when she made it, in addition to some ordinary linen, it was cheesecloth cut from old cotton clothes.

And she also deliberately made this jacket thick, and when others made seven or eight layers, she made ten or eleven layers, just to make it more comfortable for Mr. to wear it.

The shoes that come out of this way are indeed comfortable, but in the same way, when it comes to the soles, it will be extremely laborious.

Fortunately, Liu Ruolan is used to doing this kind of work, and she has a special kind of awl, and now there are people around her who have started it, so she is even more handy to do it.

What Xu Shanchang and his wife are most concerned about is the clothes in this cage, as for other supplements, medicinal materials, fabrics, etc., it is just a glance and it will be put into the warehouse.

Xu Shanchang used to be the emperor's teacher, what kind of good things have you not seen?

Even Emperor Jingwen still sends people to send him some rewards every year, can he still get good things?

Therefore, when it comes to Xu Shanchang's part, what they care about most is whether the students' intentions are sincere or not.

Mrs. Cheng also received a New Year's gift from the Xie family the next day, and when she saw those sackcloths, she was excited to cry.

Because of filial piety, naturally she can't wear silk and satin, and Mrs. Cheng has collected some good hemp materials, but Gaoyang County is such a big place, how good can it be?

Now that these horses have been delivered, it can be regarded as a solution to Mrs. Cheng's urgent need, and she is more and more glad that she has formed this family affair in the first place.

Xie Jiazhuang is also very lively at this time.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it was surrounded by many people.

Knowing that it was Xie Xiuwen's New Year's gift specially sent back from the capital, it was naturally even more eye-catching, and when the carriage stopped at the Xie family's old house, the carriage was already surrounded by three circles inside and three times outside.

Grandpa Xie was happy, and he didn't drive anyone away, and a few big boxes were moved down, and it was heavy to look at.

"Say hello to the old lady, this is a letter from the old man."

The little guy asked for peace and began to deliver letters one by one.

There are Xie Xiuwen to Xie Laosan, Liu Ruolan to Wang, and Xie Rongzhao to Xie Rongxuan and so on.

Anyway, I went around in a circle, and there was no long room.

Xie Ronghui wrote letters to Grandpa Xie and several younger sisters respectively, and after the little girl sent these letters one by one, a layer of sweat appeared on his head.

Mainly for fear of sending the wrong letter again.

Xie Xiuran looked lonely, his eldest son didn't even write a word to him, and the disappointment and frustration in his heart were naturally overflowing (end of this chapter)
