I told the truth: "At most, a pack of cigarettes costs fifteen yuan, and a bottle of wine costs fifty yuan, which is already very good in Taoshan Village."
Lingxi hesitated: "Is it too bad? It will make your family feel that I am too stingy as a master."
"No, really not." I raised my fingers and promised as if swearing: "You believe me right, Taoshan Village is no better than a bustling metropolis like Zhongzhou."
Lingxi was silent for a while, and then according to my request, he changed the fifty strips of soft China into fifty strips of red Nanjing.
One hundred and twenty one, the same as what my dad bought during the holidays.
As for the wine, it was changed from ten boxes of Wuliangye to ten boxes of seed wine.
A bottle costs fifty-three yuan, a total of sixty bottles.
That's it, I want to reduce Lingxi by half but I don't want to.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle each had ten cigarettes and two boxes of wine, leaving thirty cigarettes and six boxes of wine to honor my dad, which is not much.
I was speechless and could only let her arrange it.
If I didn't have two RVs and the one Tieshan was driving was idle, I really don't know how I would have gotten these gifts back.
After buying cigarettes and wine, Lingxi took me to buy tea for grandma.
More than 4,000 pounds of Maojian tea, Lingxi bought ten pounds without even thinking.
I didn't even have a chance to stop it.
After buying it, Lingxi told me that there are few people who know tea in the rural valleys. Unlike tobacco and alcohol, tea can be judged by individuals.
Moreover, I have a refrigerator at home, so these teas can be stored for a long time in the refrigerator and will last for a year.
I have to say that Lingxi’s reasons are very good, and at least the worries in my heart have been completely eliminated.
Later, Lingxi bought some high-end nutritional products, fruits, and gift boxes.
It was so messy and full that I was confused.
Fortunately, the security guards at the shopping mall helped and pushed seven or eight large and small carts to safely deliver the gifts to the RV.
At 4:50 in the afternoon, we arrived at Taoshan Village.
Tieshan had been to my house years ago, so he parked his car in the open space outside my yard.
My dad heard the sound of the car and ran out to greet me.
"Dad." I jumped out of the car and shouted.
"Ningzi." My dad was still wearing an apron and holding a piece of old ginger in his hand. He looked me up and down with a smile on his face and said, "I'm getting fatter. My face has become rounder."
"Hello, uncle." Lingxi got out of the car after me, generously but with an imperceptible shyness.
"Master Lingxi." My dad's expression changed and he became respectful and grateful. "Ning Zi, thank you for taking the trouble. Come on, please come inside."
Lingxi was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so she looked at me for help.
I stepped forward and took my dad's arm and whispered: "Master and my sister are good sisters. There is no need to call her Master Lingxi, it seems too foreign. Just call her Lingxi."
"That's not possible." My dad glared at me fiercely and reprimanded: "Nothing big or small."
"Master Lingxi accepts you as his disciple. This is the blessing you have gained through eight lifetimes of training."
"She is not only a noble member of the old Su family, but also your savior."
"Tong Yuan is Tong Yuan, and we are us. These are two different things."
My dad said with a straight face: "You brat, don't disrespect Master Lingxi by relying on Tong Yuan's relationship. Have you forgotten all the things I told you on the phone?"
"I didn't forget..." I scratched my scalp and felt worried.
I was just thinking about how to explain my "complicated situation" with Lingxi to my dad, but at this moment, my third uncle came out.
He was carrying a swill bucket in his hand and was neatly dressed.
The beards that I used to have are gone, and the messy oily hair has turned into the slicked-back look of successful people.
The big gold chain, black leather shoes, and a tie almost blinded me.
