The things she prepared were packed in boxes. What she gave to Zhuang Dalang's three sons were three identical bamboo boxes. When Zhuang Dalang's wife took them, she felt they were a bit heavy and didn't know what was inside.
What was given to Zhuang Dalang was a set of pens, which Man Bao bought in a bookstore with his own savings, and what was given to Zhuang Dalang's wife were flowers that Man Bao occasionally saw in the mall.
Keke said they were fake flowers, put in vases to decorate houses, and their skills were average. But Manbao thought they were very beautiful, better than the real ones, and they were not expensive, so she bought a large bunch.
There was no way, one portion was just a bunch, and there were eleven sticks in a bunch. She didn't understand why it wasn't ten. Anyway, having one more stick was a good thing, right?
After Man Bao bought it, he gave one to each of his four sisters-in-law. Of course, her mother also had one, then Daya and Erya, and even the youngest Sanya took one. There were three left, and Man Bao himself
I kept one piece, cut two pieces short and put them in a box for Zhuang Dalang's wife.
Among all the gifts, Zhuang Dalang's was the most expensive, and Man Bao felt the most heartbroken. She felt that girls' gifts were better to choose. There were many beautiful things in the mall that could be used as gifts, unlike choosing gifts for boys, which was so troublesome.
.
It took her two days to choose the gift for Bai Shanbao this time. The fake flowers were discovered during the gift selection process.
I have never seen this kind of flower full treasure, but when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was very beautiful, mainly because of the beautiful color.
Manbao's aesthetics is inherited from the Qian family and Xiao Qian family.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law think bright red is the prettiest. Man Bao, who grew up with them, also thinks bright red is the prettiest, so when he saw it, he thought the flower was so beautiful.
Mrs. Zhuang put away the things they sent and waited until the guests left before going to count the gifts.
Of course she looked at the gifts from the Bai family first. The gifts from both families were similar. They were not only expensive, but also practical.
The cloth sent by Mrs. Liu is the best. The main thing is that it not only has the color suitable for men, but also the color she likes. It is obviously prepared for the female members of the family.
Mrs. Zhuang touched it again and again, and finally put it away happily.
In order to get Mr. Zhuang to accept his son, Mr. Bai also took great pains and specially enriched the gift prepared by Mr. Liu by 30%.
After all the gifts from both families were counted, Mrs. Zhuang opened the box sent by Manbao. As soon as Mrs. Zhuang saw the pen in the box, she closed it and handed it to her husband. Then she went to open her box. Once she opened it, she
I was shocked.
Zhuang Dalang looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
When he saw the flowers in the box, he was startled, "Where did the flowers come from at this time?"
Mrs. Zhuang reached out and touched it gently. She was startled by the fact that it was obviously not a real flower, so she quickly picked it up and looked at it.
Zhuang Dalang was also extremely surprised, "It's actually fake? It's so realistic. What is it made of?"
"I don't know," Mrs. Zhuang said regretfully: "It's a pity that there are no girls in the family, otherwise..."
Zhuang Dalang smiled and said: "You wear it the same way."
Mrs. Zhuang laughed angrily and said, "I'm already old, what else do I wear?"
Zhuang Dalang put the plug on her directly, and then said with a smile: "It looks good."
Mrs. Zhuang lowered her head and smiled, then opened the remaining three boxes and found that they were all filled with candies, and they were all candies she had never seen before.
She ate one and couldn't help but sigh, "This little lady is also very thoughtful, but I don't know where she got all these good things."
Zhuang Dalang smiled nonchalantly and said: "There are always some craftsmen in the countryside. This is not surprising."
He said: "I think the fabrics in these colors are quite good. You can cut them out and make some more clothes for my father. After the Chinese New Year, my father will go to the countryside to teach again."
Mrs. Zhuang agreed and put everything away.
Mr. Zhuang also saw the flowers on Mrs. Zhuang's hair and knew they were from Manbao, so he smiled and said, "That child likes plants the most. I don't know where they got such beautiful flowers."
At this time, Mr. Zhuang did not know that the flowers were fake. It was not until his daughter-in-law carried them for several days that he realized that they were fake flowers.
Mr. Zhuang was surprised for a moment, but thinking that Lao Zhou's family was always skillful, he shook his head and smiled, wondering who made this flower.
As soon as he got in the car, Bai Shanbao wanted to open the box, but seeing his grandmother, mother and Man Bao looking at him, he stopped opening it and held it in his arms and looked out the window.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but pursed their lips and smiled, with no intention of looking.
Man Bao didn't care, mainly because she thought that if Bai Erlang saw the gift she gave Bai Shanbao, what would happen if she didn't like the gift she gave him when he got home?
Man Bao was thinking at this moment, "Tell me, what gift should I give to Bai Er?"
Bai Shanbao wanted to know more what Manbao gave him, so he glanced at her and said nothing.
Man Bao said sadly: "I think he won't like it if I give it the same thing as you, but if it's different, what should I give?"
Bai Shanbao knew as soon as he heard it. What Manbao gave to him must be for study, otherwise Bai Er would not dislike it.
The two of them thought about returning to Qili Village. As soon as they arrived at the village, Bai Shanbao urged Manbao to go down, and then waved goodbye to her, "I will go see you later to play."
Let’s discuss the gift for Bai Er again.
Man Bao also sighed sadly, climbed out of the car and said to Bai Er: "I have to make suggestions to Master in the future. Don't accept junior brothers anymore. Instead, accept junior sisters. Gifts for girls are easier to find."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng heard it funny and laughed out loud in the car, joking: "Man Bao knows how difficult it is to give gifts at such a young age."
Bai Shanbao shouted: "I know it too."
As soon as he got home, Bai Shanbao jumped off the carriage, ran to his house with the box in his arms, and did not open the box until he entered the house.
Bai Shanbao exclaimed and took out the notebook from the box. The entire cover of the notebook was light blue, with a semicircle circled in blue in the middle. There was a small boat on the light blue water.
There was a vague figure, and at the end of the water there was a blue ball, like the moon.
But it's strange, isn't the moon white?
Bai Shanbao scratched his head and opened it. He blinked and realized that it was an empty book.
He flipped through it and found that it was all empty. He thought it was a book, but it turned out to be an empty one.
Bai Shanbao thought for a while, studied the ink, picked up a pen and wrote on the title page, Zhou Man gave it as a gift.
The ink doesn't smear or spread, nor does it show through. It turns out to be good quality paper.
Bai Shanbao touched the book and was so surprised that he didn't know where Manbao got it.
Bai Shanbao thought so, so he asked Manbao the same question.
Man Bao said: "I bought it from my friend."
Bai Shanbao knew that Manbao had a friend and she often bought things from him, so she was envious and said, "He is so awesome. He can buy such a book and the paper inside is very good."
