There were so many people that it was easy to make things happen, so it only took the Tian family a long time to wrap up the rice dumplings. Tian Minyan specially asked Xiao Wu to calculate the account, and there were more than 200 rice dumplings for thirty kilograms.
When the rice dumplings were wrapped, it was not enough to fill the two large pots in the Tian family's kitchen. When cooking, they also borrowed Aunt Zhu's pot and cooked them all.
Tian Minyan also ate rice dumplings cooked with firewood in her previous life, but she didn’t know whether it was because the air in ancient times was good and nothing was polluted, or because it was wrapped at home, but she felt that the current rice dumplings were more delicious than those she had ever eaten.
.
When wrapping the zongzi, Tian Minyan proposed to give a few to Aunt Zhu and his family for a taste. Aunt Zhu was not polite. After taking the rice dumplings, she said that she would also wrap them tomorrow, so that Luo and the others could help out when they had time.
, Luo Che also agreed.
In order to reward everyone, Tian Minyan made the pig offal that came with the purchase of pork. She also made braised pork from the remaining small pot of meat. She also asked Xiao Wu to buy half a catty of wine, preparing for Tian Huairen and the evening meal.
A few long-term workers have a few drinks.
At dusk in the afternoon, Luo Shi, Tian Minyan and Xiao Xing were busy in the kitchen. Xiao Wu suddenly ran in and said, "Sister, my uncle and the others have sent someone to deliver a holiday gift."
Tian Minyan was stunned, looked at each other with Luo Shi, told Xiaoxing to look at the fire, and the two walked out.
The person Tian Huaide sent was the county government's yamen guard, and he filled a small half bag. Tian Minyan didn't know the specific contents yet, so he had someone carry them in. Seeing that it was getting late, the yamen guard was originally from the town.
, I also dropped by the house to give him a gift, so Tian Minyan left him at home to have dinner before going.
Originally, she was just a government guard and it would be fine if she didn't leave anyone behind, but Tian Minyan had her own thoughts. She wanted to know what the situation was like on the other side of the Henghe River, so she wanted to keep someone behind.
After telling Tian Huairen to accompany him, Tian Minyan and Luo Shi opened the gift from Yokogawa. In fact, it was nothing, just six rice dumplings, and a few bags of local seafood products from Yokogawa, such as dried shrimps and fish.
Things are not worth much.
As for the valuable thing, I'm afraid the only thing is the dark blue coarse cloth, which can also be used to make two gowns.
"Needless to say, your grandma must have prepared this." Luo Shi looked at it and said, "And this piece of cloth is probably what your grandpa wanted to add to it."
Tian Minyan smiled. No one except the Jiang family could make such a stingy gift list. The most ridiculous thing is that they also made a gift list like others. The words were written in big words and took up a lot of space. It seemed that it made people feel uncomfortable.
People felt that the gift list was quite full, and there were so many things given away.
And Tian Minyan noticed that at the bottom of the gift list, it was written on the piece of coarse cloth, but the words didn't look like the previous one. When Tian Minyan looked closer, it looked like the old man's handwriting.
Her mind turned and she suddenly understood. She looked at Luo Shi and said, "Mom, you really got it right, look."
Luo Shi didn't know. Looking at her fingers, she couldn't read. Even though Brother Rui and the others went to town these days to teach everyone how to read, she could barely recognize her own name and how to read the weight.
"What?"
"These characters and the one above are obviously the handwriting of two people. I haven't seen the characters on the top. They should be uncle or eldest brother. The ones below are clearly the characters of grandpa." Tian Minyan sneered: "The characters are
The ink stains are of different shades, and you can tell that they were added temporarily."
"No matter how stingy the eldest aunt is, she will not just give such a small thing for the sake of face. I thought that my grandma must have arranged this gift list, and the eldest aunt is also happy to save money. Anyway, it is not her shame, so I will let her do it.
Damn it.”
Luo Shi was stunned for a while after hearing this. She looked at Tian Minyan and said, "What you said seemed like you saw it over there." After a pause, she added, "But what you said is also like your aunt's place."
People are thieves and thieves."
Tian Minyan also smiled and said, "I think if grandpa hadn't been there, grandma might not even be willing to send back these dry goods."
For a person like Jiang, there is no thought of exchanges of courtesy. In her heart, only her children and grandchildren can give her gifts, and there are no elders who can give them to the younger ones.
Therefore, if the old man hadn't asked for it, I'm afraid Jiang could have saved it.
Luo Shi sighed, shook his head, very speechless, and said: "I thought that with your grandmother's temperament, they wouldn't send Boxing gifts over there, but now they have, and we sent them back. You see,
Don’t you want to add more?”
"Mom, didn't I tell you that our family is just a humble family, we can't compare to the officials and gentry families like my uncle and the others. Even if we give less, it doesn't matter. In my opinion, we can just stick to the original." Tian Minyan
I glanced at the pile of things on the table and thought to myself, the things we sent over are much more valuable than this pile.
Luo Shi thought for a while and felt that his daughter was right, so he nodded.
After the meal was over, Tian Minyan asked the yamen guard to come back tomorrow and help them deliver the Boxing Gifts to Henghe. The yamen guard agreed, and the family packed up and returned to the west wing to talk.
"How's it, dad, how's it going over there in Henghe?" Tian Minyan couldn't wait to ask Tian Huairen, very gossipy, while several others looked at him.
Tian Huairen took a sip of the hangover soup and sighed: "The old man and the others are in good health, but they just stay in the yard all day and have nowhere to go. I heard from the yamen guard that the two old men don't seem to be very old."
Habit."
Everyone was a little silent after hearing this. The old man has been dealing with crops and fields for most of his life. He is always busy. Even in Yangmei Village, the old man has no time to spare. He goes to pick up manure at dawn and goes to the fields during the day when he has nothing to do.
Take a walk and look at the crops. For such a restless person, if you ask him to suddenly become a hands-off shopkeeper and do nothing, and he is just confined to a small courtyard, can he get used to it?
As for the old lady, although she is not a person who works all day long, she is just walking around Yangmei Village. No matter how far she goes, she has only been to Tian Huaifang in the county seat. When she gets to Henghe, she doesn't recognize even half of the people.
Where to go?
"Then in a place as big as a sparrow, where can you go if you don't know anyone well? Even if you are chatting outside, you still have to recognize people." Luo Shi sighed.
Tian Huairen was silent for a while and said, "I'm just afraid that the old man will get sick from boredom."
Tian Minyan glanced at him and asked: "My grandma doesn't like to go out much in our old house. She should be more used to it than grandpa, right? Dad, my grandma is still in charge over there?"
"How do you know?" Tian Huairen was a little surprised, then thought of Jiang's temperament, his face became a little sarcastic, and said: "Just like here, there is also your mother's house, driving your second aunt and the others around.
Yes, the restraints were very tight. I thought that when your second aunt sneaked away to Henghe, she lit your grandmother's firecracker starter."
Tian Minyan could think of Mrs. Li's disgraced look as she was being pinned down by Mr. Jiang and pointing here and there, and she couldn't help but smile.
"What about the second uncle and the others? What do they do for a living?" Tian Minrui asked.
When Tian Huaixiao was mentioned, Tian Huairen's brows furrowed and his lips pursed.
"But what kind of evil moth has been created?" Tian Minyan immediately became nervous.
"Your second uncle and Erlang are running errands with your eldest brother now, but they don't act like it. They eat and drink outside all day long. People outside call them "Second Master" and "Second Young Master". I heard that they often go to dirty places with those rich people.
I was scolded severely by the old man, so I restrained myself a little." Tian Huairen frowned and said, "I don't know whether something is true or not. Wang Dahua also said that your second uncle raised a little one outside." Wang Dahua is today.
That yamen guard.
"Isn't it? Real or fake?"
"If you are going to die, why can't her second aunt destroy Tian'er?" Luo Shi exclaimed.
"This is also something that is not allowed to be done. Your second aunt doesn't know about it. It's up to us to have the final say here. We are not allowed to talk nonsense outside." Tian Huairen said quickly.
Everyone knew what was appropriate and nodded. Only Xiaowu looked confused and asked: "Dad, by raising a child, does it mean that the second uncle begged a younger wife? Then we have an extra younger aunt?"
"My ancestor, don't talk nonsense." Luo Shi hugged him and said in a deep voice: "Our banker is not one of those big families who don't have a few wives to deal with. No matter how bad your second aunt is, you are the only one.
Auntie, nothing more. Brother Rui, you all remember it."
"Mom, I know." Tian Minrui said with a cold look on his face: "It's just that the second uncle is too unlikeable and is not afraid of embarrassing our Tian family. If grandpa knows about it, I don't know how angry he will be."
Tian Minyan was not surprised at all that Tian Huaixiao raised a little wife. Even if she didn't know the plot of the book she read in her previous life, it was not surprising that a lusty bastard like Tian Huaixiao would raise a little wife.
The plot she saw in her previous life now appeared, and Tian Minyan was a little worried. She only hoped that the old man would keep Tian Huaixiao in check. Of course, she didn't know how much of a butterfly effect her arrival would cause, so she could only prepare for the worst.
"Dad, how can the eldest uncle tolerate the second uncle's behavior?" After a moment of silence, Tian Minrui asked again.
"I'm afraid the uncle is waiting for the second uncle and the others to cause a big disaster, so that he can let the old man administer justice and send the second uncle's family back." Tian Minyan could more or less guess Tian Huaide's intention, even if Tian Huaide did not expect it, he
There is also the Chen family beside me, who is just like Luo Shi said, a thief and a thieves.
"Kill with a stick." Tian Minrui suddenly realized it and sneered: "No matter whether it was the uncle or the aunt who came up with the method, they have forgotten one thing."
After all, they are twins. When he said it, Tian Minyan immediately said: "How can there be no eggs left intact when the whole family is together?" The two looked at each other and smiled.
"What do you two siblings mean by whispering?" Luo Shi and the others looked stunned.
"Mom, don't worry about it. Anyway, we can't see or care about what's going on over there. We just have to live our lives well. Let's take a shower and have a rest. We have to make cakes when we get up early tomorrow.
Come out, pack up the gifts and let the elder brother of the Yamen Guard send them over." Tian Minyan said with a smile, everyone agreed, and each washed his hands and rested.
