In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here in August. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the four major traditional folk festivals. No matter where it is, it is taken very seriously. After all, it also means the reunion of people and the moon.
Because it was a festival, Su Liu and others went to the town early to open a stall. Recently, she was thinking about some new buns. Today is the festival again, and there are many more people coming to the town to buy. The bun stalls are also busy.
Busier than usual.
Mrs. Chen is now taking care of the housework at home, so she doesn't come to the stall to help. But fortunately, Chen Ye is there, so the three of them can still keep busy.
Chen Ye has been in the Su family for a long time, and now he is very comfortable in doing things. He is less cautious when facing Su Liu and the others, and the smiles on their faces are gradually more, as if they are slowly recovering from the pain of losing their mother.
walk out.
During the holidays, it is necessary to buy some festival items. Now that Su Liu and the others are short of money, and they have been separated to spend it alone, they will naturally not wrong themselves for such a festival. They sold out all the packages early and closed the stall.
There was a shopping spree in the town.
While walking around, Su Liu thought that she was already an older girl inside, and she didn't have much interest in candy seeds or anything like that. However, Su Xiao and Chen Ye were still children, so they inevitably bought a lot of candy seeds, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks.
.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the meals were naturally more sumptuous than usual. When Su Liu and the others couldn’t eat the chickens and ducks they raised at home, they bought a native chicken in the town. As for pork and other things, they had them in the village early.
Butcher Zhao kept it, bought another live fish and put it in his basket, and then he planned to go home.
When passing Baicaotang, Su Liu originally wanted to go in and say hello, but saw that it seemed busy inside, so she gave up. Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Fu inside saw her sharply and chased her out.
"Girl from the Su family."
Su Liu stopped and saluted shopkeeper Fu with a smile. Su Xiao and Chen Ye behind her also bowed obediently when they saw her.
Shopkeeper Fu felt a little more happy when he saw that although the children were from the countryside, but their etiquette was thoughtful and decent, he said with a smile: "I have something to do and I want to send someone to find you."
Su Liu was stunned and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Shopkeeper Fu?"
Shopkeeper Fu smiled and let them into Baicaotang, pointed to a small pile of freshly packed things in the back yard, and said: "It's our third master. He just sent someone to send you a gift, because the fifth master went to Beijing."
, Third Master has just come back from overseas, and this time he was slow to give the gift, and it has been delayed until today, so I can let me apologize to the girl!"
After hearing his thoughts, Su Liu didn't care about the festival, and asked in surprise: "The third master is back?" Does that mean that all the pepper seeds and so on are found?
"I just came back yesterday. I heard about the gift from the girl, so I sent it overnight." Shopkeeper Fu said with a smile: "I was thinking that you were also running a stall in the town, so I wanted to send someone.
I’ll ask you where your home is so I can send this gift there.”
Su Liu suppressed the joy in her heart and said with some embarrassment: "The third master is too polite. We just sent some mountain goods. Uncle Fu, I don't know when the third master will come to Baise Town." She was worried about Song Song.
Fei couldn't wait to ask about what he had learned from his overseas trip.
Shopkeeper Fu said: "The third master will come to inspect after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard from the boy next to the third master that he really likes the gift given by the girl."
Young Master Su Liu was humble for a while and talked for a while. Shopkeeper Fu saw that it was not early and saw that they were also carrying things. He knew that they were also walking and it was difficult to carry so many things, so he sent
Got a carriage to take them back.
Su Liu naturally declined, but seeing that he couldn't get the kindness, he thanked him again and again, and got into the carriage with Su Xiao and the others.
The distance between Da'ao Village and Baise Town is almost an hour's journey. Most of the people usually walk, but have they ever taken a horse-drawn carriage? Especially Su Xiao, who was smiling here and there in the car.
Out of sight, it felt like I was riding in a car for the first time in a large village.
Chen Ye, on the other hand, was a little silent when he got on the carriage, and his expression seemed to be in a trance. Su Liu's eyes flashed when he saw it.
There was a carriage for transportation, but we returned to Da'ao Village in half an hour. Such a carriage suddenly came to the village, and people were naturally curious. However, Su Xiao was still getting meat from the butcher Zhao at the end of the village, and sat in the carriage again.
After leaving, the village suddenly exploded.
When the Su sisters returned in a carriage, word spread all over the village like the wind, saying that Su Liu and the others were living a good life. The news spread to the old house of the Su family, and naturally there was a lot of jealousy and scolding.
Su Liu ignored these rumors, returned home, moved all his things into the house, and rewarded the boy driving the carriage with five cents. He was so happy that the boy smiled happily, said good things and left.
After everyone left, Su Liu and the others put away their things and looked at the gifts from Song Fei.
The holiday gifts given by Song Fei were not particularly expensive items. They were all mooncakes for the festival, as well as some exquisite pastries and candies. The most expensive items were those pieces of brocade and a few boxes of seafood.
There are three pieces of brocade, indigo, pink, purple and goose yellow. In addition, there are some girls' trinkets, furry headdresses and earrings, all made of snow-white rabbit fur.
"This is too expensive." Mrs. Chen was very surprised. She held the pieces of brocade with as gentle movements as if she were stroking her own children, fearing that the brocade would be scratched accidentally.
"What we sent here are just worthless mountain goods. What's so big about this?" Mrs. Chen was a little worried. The key is that this gift is too expensive.
In rural areas, the usual festival gifts are just some mountain products. Like the Chen family in the past, the festival gifts sent to her parents' home during the Mid-Autumn Festival were just a few eggs and a few home-made mooncakes. If you have some money on hand, it would be too much.
It is made of coarse cloth and is very decent and beautiful.
Therefore, these festive gifts sent by Song Fei and others are naturally extremely valuable in Chen's eyes.
Su Liu smiled, watching Su Xiaoai playing with the rabbit hair headband, and said: "Mom, what kind of family we are, and what kind of family we are, Third Master, they are incomparable. In fact, this is not special.
It’s expensive.”
According to Song Fei's status, such a formal gift is not very valuable. In fact, when he took it apart, Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't understand the interpersonal relationships in this era, she had heard Ning Guang say that there was a lot of elegance in giving gifts.
If the gift you send is accepted by others and the gift is of equal value in return, it means that you are willing to have close friendship. If the gift in return is much higher than yours, it means that you are not willing to have close friendship. It is mostly a courtesy for face. If
To return it intact means that you do not want to have any contact with it.
According to Song Fei's status, this etiquette is not particularly high, and it only means that they are interacting with Su Liu and the others.
"This is not expensive." Mrs. Chen was speechless and took another handful of the brocade.
Over there, Su Xiao had already put the furry headband on her head, shook it, and said with a smile: "Mom, sister, doesn't it look good?"
"You kid, you put it on first, your sister hasn't looked at it yet." Seeing her like this, Ms. Chen laughed angrily.
"Hehe, I just wore it for my sister to see." Su Xiao was not shy and said with a smile.
Su Liu also smiled and said: "When we make new clothes, comb our hair and put them on, our little one will also be a very beautiful little beauty."
Su Xiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head shyly.
Su Liu's smile became even bigger, and what she said was true. After moving out, they had money on their hands, and they never suffered from food. They ate meat every day, and cooked a pig's trotter every now and then.
After drinking the soup, my body has improved a lot, my skin has become whiter and tenderer, and my hair has become black and smooth.
Neither Chen nor Su Changsheng is ugly, and the children they gave birth to are not bad either. Su Liu cannot be called a great beauty, but she is better because of her slim figure, a pair of phoenix eyes, and regular facial features.
With an oval face shape, she can also be called a delicate beauty.
As for Su Xiao, her appearance is even better than that of Su Liu. They were both sallow and skinny before they had to eat. Now they have taken good care of themselves and gained weight. They are at a good age and their skin is so tender.
She has a fair face, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of bright almond eyes. She is one of the most beautiful little beauties in the village.
Despite her young age, Su Xiao has always been pretty. Since ancient times, girls have always loved to be pretty, and she is not out of vulgarity. She also dresses upright on weekdays.
"I think this brocade was specially chosen as a gift for us. Originally, I was thinking of pulling some cloth to make some clothes for the three of us. Now that we have this brocade, it's a good chance that we can make two new sets of clothes to wear.
"Su Liu said with a smile. After they opened a stall and had some money in their hands, they couldn't always wear patched clothes to go to town. They also tore cloth to make new clothes, but although the cloth was not that rough,
But it can't compare to these brocade ones.
Su Xiao's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really?" Everyone loves new clothes, and naturally she does too.
Seeing Su Liu nodding, Mrs. Chen hesitated for a while and said: "These cloths look good, and they can be sold for a lot of money, so I won't make them. You two sisters can each make two."
"Mom, this indigo color is just for you. We all make it. When the time comes to wear it out during the Chinese New Year, we will look decent." Su Liu clicked her tongue.
"Yes, mother, I can't leave you alone." Su Xiao also agreed.
Mrs. Chen was still hesitant, but after all she could not resist the persuasion of her two daughters to please her, so she agreed with a smile.
Su Liu saw Chen Ye flashing past the door and sighed. The colors of these brocades were more girlish, so he thought about pulling out more new cloth to make two more clothes for him.
Although in Su Liu's eyes, the gift from Song Fei and the others was not expensive, it was still etiquette, so he found a book and registered it so that he could follow it as a favor in the future.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and when they saw Ning Guang coming from his side, carrying a basket of freshly picked mountain products, they all got busy and started cooking the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
