Butler Lu, who was dressed in festive clothes and personally greeted guests at the door today, had already noticed the pair of villains on the road.
Lao Lu had been to the academy, so although he didn't recognize Wang Chongan, he recognized the clothes of the academy. Seeing the two people dressed like this, he naturally knew that they were students of his own marquis, and he went to greet them with a smile.
However, Butler Lu probably didn't expect that during the interval when he stepped forward to greet him, those neighbors who had been waiting all morning without even arriving suddenly appeared!
And as soon as they arrived, they walked over the two villains without ceremony and stood directly at the front.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry, I'm a little late for some things, but I still congratulate my neighbor on the birth of his son! Congratulations!"
The person who stepped in front of Wang Chongan was a short middle-aged man, who was also leading a large group of family members behind him. When he saw Butler Lu, he immediately handed over the housekeeper with a smile on his face and expressed congratulations.
Butler Lu was startled and looked up at this person. With great difficulty, he recognized that this person was a neighbor in an alley.
Since he is a neighbor, he still speaks so politely! So although Butler Lu was a little displeased with his behavior just now, he still put on a smiling face to greet him and said repeatedly: "Same joy, same joy."
The middle-aged man didn't know if it was because he was laughing out loud or something, but when he saw Butler Lu being so polite, he burst out laughing again!
While smiling, he handed over a basket of eggs and said to Butler Lu: "We are all from the countryside and we don't have any good things. This basket of eggs is for our neighbors to replenish their health and raise their children."
Baibai is fat!"
"This..." Butler Lu's smile was quite natural at first, but when he saw the so-called basket of eggs, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched involuntarily! After being stunned for a long time, he stretched out two fingers and took the
A "basket" of eggs...
It's a basket, it's really a basket!
However, this basket is not the vegetable basket commonly used in farmers' homes, but is similar to the fruit basket that is placed on the table for viewing.
There are only seven or eight eggs in total, which may not be as many as the people he brought!
"Ahem, thank you... please come inside!"
Weighing the fluttering basket in his hand, Butler Lu didn't know whether he should laugh or be angry! Anyway, it felt like seeing a toad, an indescribable reaction! The most frustrating thing was that he couldn't
If you are angry, you can only smile at me!
The middle-aged man clearly saw the change in Butler Lu's expression, but instead of feeling anxious, he smiled proudly, and then walked into the yard with his hands in hand.
Vaguely, Butler Lu heard him whispering to his family: "How's it going? I'll just give you a few eggs. Why are you giving me so many things? Do you think you don't need any money?"
When he heard this, Butler Lu almost couldn't hold it in anymore and lost his temper on the spot!
I could only caress my chest vigorously and whisper: "Calm down, calm down! Don't be angry! This is to please the eldest lady in the family, so what if you don't take anything? Don't we, the Xiao family, still lack that little thing?"
"Brother An, did that person just take a few eggs and bring the whole family to a banquet?"
"Uh, it seems so..."
At the bottom of the steps, the two teenagers who were originally aggrieved saw this scene, and they didn't care about being angry anymore. They looked at each other subconsciously, and they saw doubts in each other's eyes: Could it be that if they don't accept gifts during the holidays this year, they just accept them?
...Ahem, I went astray.
However, before the two of them could think clearly, several groups of people came hurriedly from the street outside.
When young Wang Chongan saw this, he rolled his eyes and stepped forward in no hurry. Instead, he took the bamboo pole and stepped aside, preparing to take a look before talking.
"Haha, congratulations. Knowing that my neighbor is from Guanzhong, I must accept these steamed buns."
"This is an old hen raised at home. Stewing soup is the best way to nourish the body. My neighbors would never dare to refuse."
"this is us………"
What happened next was just as Wang Chongan expected. The people who came were all attending the Xiao family's full moon ceremony.
It's just that this gift is as shabby as it was agreed upon.
Let alone the city, I guess people in the village are not so poor!
Just looking at it for a while, there were a lot of white flour steamed buns behind Butler Lu, as well as hens that had lost their feathers, vegetables, millet, beans, and a few broken fish that were obviously malnourished at first glance.
Those who probably knew it said it was a gift, but those who didn't knew it thought Lao Lu had just returned from buying vegetables at the vegetable market.
Of course, not all of the people who came were like the first middle-aged man, who took advantage and were complacent.
At least there was an old man standing at the back who couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
"Hey, they say that water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those close by. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Doing this will hurt the harmony of your neighbors."
However, as soon as the old man finished speaking, someone next to him immediately answered with dissatisfaction: "Uncle Li, what you said, we are not the only ones who did this! Look at the Qi family, there are only a few eggs, and the whole family is here!
At least we can do it more grandly than him, right?"
When the old man heard this, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But back then, when this family and Dr. Sun got along well, we were not like this."
The man next to him immediately sneered twice and said: "Hmph, you always said that was at the beginning, and now Divine Doctor Sun has long since moved out of his house. Maybe there is something dirty that the old god committed.
Disgusted! That’s why I moved out of here!
Moreover, this family has moved here for more than half a year. Have any of our neighbors seen any long-faced guests at his house? No?! Why do you care about such a family?"
The old man was stunned and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything because he really had nothing to say to refute.
People who live on this street now know that this newly moved family is the strangest! I only heard that the owners are a young couple, but they don’t know anything about the rest. Some time ago, there were rumors that their family was a businessman.
It's a business, but I haven't received any confirmation.
Moreover, this family can behave in a low-key manner on weekdays.
Basically, I never see them coming out, and sometimes I don't even say ten words to these neighbors for a month. Naturally, I won't like this kind of family.
When the man who was talking to the old man saw the old man's speechless look, his expression became even more proud. He stopped talking nonsense to him, mentioned his "gift", put on a false smile, and went to Butler Lu's house.
Then go.
The old man was behind. Seeing the man using a small bag of fruit as a gift and entering the gate of Xiao Mansion, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Hey, that's fine!"
Except for the two children with big eyes and small eyes, there was no one around. The old man thought for a moment, reached out and fumbled for a handful of copper coins from his purse, carefully stacked them up, and then put them with the meat in his other hand.
Let’s give it to this new neighbor together.
He didn't seek the limelight of giving gifts, he just wanted the family not to suffer so much.
