Chapter 72 Bao's Maternal Family
"Oh, isn't this Aunt Tian's daughter and son-in-law? Are you back to pay New Year's greetings?"
When Guoer heard someone greeting Bao warmly, Bao also laughed and joked with the people outside.
"Auntie Tian, your daughter is back!"
The voice of a child was running from near to far, as if he was going to report the news.
After a while, the ox cart was parked in front of a wooden fence.
When Guoer got off the car, she saw a bunch of people walking out of the yard. First, an old woman with half-white hair was wearing a new linen cotton jacket. Her slightly fat face was five or sixty-sixth-same-like Bao's mother, Bao Tian, and her grandmother.
Guoer recognized the group of people following Bao Tian from memory, based on her memory, including her eldest uncle, aunt, second uncle and second aunt, and four half-grown children of varying heights. Except for the youngest cousin Yuanzhen, the other three are older than her and are all called cousin.
Haha! It's quite complete.
"Grandma, uncle, second uncle, aunt, second aunt, second aunt, cousin, Yuanzhen's cousin." Guo'er took the hand and Wulin took the initiative to come forward and call someone.
"Hey, hey! Look, it makes the child so tired that he calls so many people, hahaha..."
Bao Tian saw the brightly dressed siblings in front of him shouting in a series of cheers, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
The two daughters-in-law of the Bao family, Zhao and Yang, both returned to their parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This was the rule that Bao Tian set when they got married early in the morning. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, they had to stay at home to greet their sister-in-law who came back to pay New Year's greetings.
So when they came here, the Bao family was there.
"Mom, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, why are you standing there? Come up and help me."
Hearing Bao's voice, Bao Tian and his two daughters-in-law came to their senses from the four of the family, hurried towards the ox cart, and helped to get the things on the cart one by one.
"Why bring so many things? How much does it cost? Hahaha..." Bao Tianshi smiled as she looked at the generous New Year gift in front of her.
"What's the matter? It's not a rare thing, just like it."
As Bao spoke, his eyes accidentally swept across his two sister-in-laws, Zhao and Yang's faces. Seeing their shocked expressions, he raised the corners of his mouth more and more proudly.
A bunch of people walked into the house with things. Guoer took the opportunity to look around. The low courtyard wall of grandma's house was built with irregular stones, with air flowing on all sides. The courtyard gate was the most common wooden gate in the village. As soon as they entered the gate, the houses in the courtyard were the same as those of the Yao family, with a few fewer numbers, with the same earthen walls and thatched roofs. It seemed that grandma's life was not affordable.
The two brothers of the Bao family did not follow everyone into the house, but looked around the ox cart and then.
Yao Sanzhu simply didn't rush into the house, so he stood by and waited for his two brothers to slowly look at the ox cart.
"......This cow looks quite strong. The car looks good at first glance. Did you buy it yourself?"
Bao Dali couldn't help asking Xiang brother-in-law.
Yao Sanzhu raised his chin proudly and said, "Of course! Both the cow and the car were bought just before the New Year, so he just used it. Isn't it true that it is not popular for the New Year to borrow other people's cars?"
The two brothers couldn't help but take a breath. Their family also heard about some things in their sister's family. Before the New Year, my sister asked someone to bring some things to the family, saying that they would give them to the New Year. But until now, they saw it with their own eyes, they were still much more surprised.
The second son Bao Xinli touched the cow for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "No, a good animal, good fur, and good teeth. This would cost a lot of money, right?"
Yao Sanzhu responded indifferently: "It's not expensive, even a cow and a cart will cost about ten taels of silver!"
Two brothers from the Bao family: "...".
Bao Tian hurriedly called his daughter into the house, walked up and hugged Wulin and couldn't see enough, and praised words like "Growing taller and becoming strong."
As for Guoer, Bao Tian praised her for a few words at the beginning and had no time to pay attention to her. He turned around and was busy giving Wulin slippers and asked his grandson to go to the kang Nuanhe.
Seeing that the old man could only see his younger brother, Guo'er silently thought in his heart that this was also an old man who only saw his grandson in his eyes. He didn't care about this. He was not a real child at all, and he rarely came to his grandmother's house a year. In my memory, he was really not close to him.
"Mom, stop busying. We are not cold. See what good things I have brought to you."
Bao said as he opened the New Year gift they brought:
"These foods can't cost much money. Look at how fresh the pork is. The New Year pig we killed at home has left you a piece. During the New Year, my sister-in-law will make some food for the children every meal when cooking, so that they can improve and improve it.
By the way, have you finished all the meat and snacks I asked someone to bring back last time? Don’t save it. There are also the snacks I bought this time. Look, this is not a bargain bought in the town. I bought them all in the most famous snack shop in the county. Do you want to taste them?
Now, there are these materials. This one is for my mother. These two pieces are for my nieces and nieces. Don’t bother with your sister-in-law, see if this material is suitable?"
Bao said as he stuffed the fabric in his hands into Zhao and Yang's hands, so panicked that his two sisters-in-law seemed to be holding hot potatoes, and looked at their mother-in-law at the same time.
Bao Tian accidentally stepped forward and took the fabric from his two daughters-in-law's hands and said to his daughter:
"Don't be busy anymore, hurry up and go to the kang to rest. The things you asked someone to bring to you before the New Year are very good. The food and food have not been spent yet. I have bought so many more. Look, the new jacket I wore on my mother is made of the materials you gave me, hahaha..."
A while ago, my daughter asked someone to bring her a lot of things, saying that it was almost the Chinese New Year to honor her. She had a ruler, snacks, fat pork, and even a pack of copper coins.
Bao looked at my mother's clothes with satisfaction and said, "I have a good vision. My mother wears this material and looks good. I said that this is the most suitable thing for you to make a jacket for you, but the skills of my sister-in-law are also good.
The materials I brought this time are better. I asked my sister-in-law to make you a coat and wear the rest for you."
Bao was talking nonsense, and several women stared at the fabric on the kang and the New Year gifts on the table with their eyes burning, not knowing how to respond.
Wu Lin couldn't sit still. He had prepared a lot of small flying cannons in his pocket. As soon as he entered the door, he blinked at Yuan Qing and Yuan Suo's cousins. At this moment, he saw a few adults talking nonsense. He got off the kang and ran out of the house while Bao Tian was not paying attention.
Yuan Suo of the second house was young. When Wu Lin ran, he immediately turned around and ran out. Yuan Bao and Yuan Qing of the big house were still in the house. Yuan Qing glanced at the eldest brother and couldn't help but run out curiously.
There were Yuanbao and Yuanzhen, the second house, left in the room, and lying on the edge of the kang to continue to look at it.
