In the past, it was Jiang who advocated giving gifts to the Tian family. She would give them to whomever she wanted. Of course, the Tian family was not a wealthy family, so the gifts they gave were just some festive rice dumplings and mountain goods.
On Jiang's gift-giving list, the two daughters were at the top of the list and gave the most things, while the other three daughters-in-law only gave a few rice dumplings.
Luo still remembers that during the Dragon Boat Festival not long after she married into the Tian family, Jiang only gave her natal family ten rice dumplings, while the Luo family's return gift was also rice dumplings, but with six more fresh fish and two live chickens.
Originally, one should be happy when someone brings a gift, especially one from her parents-in-law, but Jiang felt that she had been humiliated and said many unpleasant things overtly and secretly, making her new daughter-in-law Luo's face turn red with embarrassment.
I don't dare to ask my mother's family to send more gifts than Tian's family.
Tian Minyan listened to what Luo Shi said and sighed in her heart. People like Jiang are really stingy and obsessed with saving face. They always want to be superior to others and put pressure on their daughter-in-law and their parents' family, but they never think about the benefits of this. If they don't get along with their in-laws, it is said
What's so good about going out?
Oh, of course, she is the only one who enjoys the glory. She cannot even appreciate the gifts sent by her daughter-in-law's family. The gifts she gives are all good ones, and she blindly puts others down to show off her own height.
Tian Minyan was very disdainful of such people, and said: "Now that our families have separated, and our family life has gradually improved, this holiday gift is not like the previous years."
Tian Huairen took a peek at Luo Shi and saw that her face was a little gloomy. He also knew that she had been wronged over the years, so he said: "That's right. Sanniang, let's prepare more etiquette for the eldest brother's family this year, so that you can also be famous in front of others."
Return."
"What are you talking about?" Luo Shi felt sweet after hearing this. He gave him a look and said: "There's no such thing as glory. I'm not the kind of person who covets glory. It's just that my mother-in-law has helped me a lot, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law also regard me as one of them."
Treat her like a daughter. Over the years, I haven’t brought any benefits to my parents’ family, so I just feel uneasy.”
"Mom, don't worry, my uncle's family will get better in the future. If our family gets better, we will also help my uncle's family get better." Tian Minyan smiled happily.
"I will also honor my uncle." Xiao Wu stood on the kang and said with his head held high.
"Okay, okay, my mother will be happy to have you say these words." Luo Shi felt happy and held both children in her arms and kissed them for a while.
"Then, my uncle's family is one family." Tian Minyan drew on the notebook and added: "Shopkeeper Qin will definitely get a share, as well as the Liu family, my brother's side, the mountain chief of the town school..."
She was registering the list while reading it. She thought that Tian Minrui might have some familiar people to send, so she asked: "Brother, do you have anyone you want to add?"
Tian Minrui thought for a while and said: "I also have a classmate, but he rents a house in the town and doesn't look like the rich one. I thought about giving him a few rice dumplings and two pieces of meat."
Tian Minyan registered, glanced at the list, looked at Tian Huairen and said, "Well, dad, do you want to send it to Henghe?"
As soon as she spoke, several pairs of eyes in the room looked at him.
In fact, Tian Minyan doesn't need to ask. Not to mention that the eldest and second bedrooms have gone to Henghe. Even if they didn't go and the families were separated, the third bedroom would also have to give a boxing gift. If not the eldest and second bedrooms, they would also have to give them to the old man and the two elders, right?
She asked just to see Tian Huairen's attitude.
Tian Huairen thought for a while and said: "Giving is necessary. Although eldest brother and the others may not care about it, it is also our heart. It is their business whether they see it or not. If we are polite, no one will have anything to say. Besides,
, the old man and the others are also over there, the old man loves the rotten pork stewed in the rice dumplings."
"Well, dad has thought it through, and he is indeed the master." Tian Minyan said teasingly, making the family members laugh.
Tian Huairen was a little embarrassed, his face turned slightly red, and he said: "What the hell, sir, your father is not that stupid. Don't you know this bit of etiquette?"
Luo Shi smiled and said: "Then tell me, what should we send there?"
"Our own rice dumplings are fragrant. The old man likes them. I have to give away thirty of them. I also saw them today. All the chickens in the chicken pen were slaughtered. I also caught two live chickens. Well, I will give you four more pieces of meat.
." Tian Huairen said: "As for the others, there is no need to give them away. Brother, do they want anything?"
"Dad, don't give away the meat." Tian Minyan saw something wrong and said, "The weather is getting hot now, and the Henghe River is far away. This meat has not been marinated and cannot be left. It will definitely smell bad if you give it there."
"That's true. How about adding something else?"
"Dad is busy, what does our family do? We can make cakes and preserved eggs. If you ask me, adding these two things is decent enough." Tian Minyan said with a sly smile: "Every other family, except the Liu family, also adds these.
.”
"Okay, I guess I'm lucky." Luo Shi smiled and said, "Only for the Liu family and shopkeeper Qin, let's send more mountain fruits and so on."
Tian Minyan also said a few words, then simply spread it out and said, written by Tian Minrui, they said that each family had re-registered what they wanted to give and how much they were.
Finally, Tian Minyan checked again to see if there was anything missing. Only the two aunts of the Tian family did not write down. She thought for a while and said: "There are also the eldest aunt and the second aunt, father and mother, do they have to give this away?"
Luo Shi fell silent, and Tian Huairen didn't say a word, just because they only gave gifts as gifts, and they had never given away two or three bedrooms, so it was fine not to ask for gifts from them.
Now, the third bedroom is divided into separate households. Logically speaking, Tian Huairen is the younger brother, so he should give a share to his eldest aunt Tian Huaifang. As for the second aunt, she is the younger sister, so even if it is given to her, it should be given to her first.
"If your second aunt doesn't give it away, then your eldest aunt won't give it away either. Your grandparents will prepare it, so you can't give it away without giving it away." Tian Huairen thought for a while and finally sighed.
Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "Dad, it's not right." Seeing everyone looking at her, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Dad, you are a younger brother, so you should give holiday gifts to your sister. It's just a matter of giving more or less.
We agree. As for the second aunt, we can't break the rules. As an aunt, she should come first to visit her brother closely."
"Nanny, what do you think?"
"My aunt's family is in the county town. What good things have you never seen? Let's just give you six rice dumplings, cakes and fruits." Tian Minyan chuckled and said with a glint in her eyes: "Our family is not like the eldest uncle who is a high-ranking official.
Yes, we are very poor. I don’t think my aunt will blame us. At least we have followed all the etiquette and no outsiders can say anything.”
Luo Shi was startled, then immediately smiled, poked her forehead and said: "You monkey, are you the one who was entrusted to this world by Sun Xingzhe?"
Where have the two Tian Huaifang sisters ever had sex with their third wife? If it wasn’t for calculations, it would be Amitabha. In fact, they didn’t want to give it away. This time, it was just to stop those gossips and let others know that they
All three bedrooms are fully furnished.
As for Tian Minyan's experience, everyone will be very grateful for her decision today in the near future.
