"Mother Yingjie, if you give me so many things next year, I will fall out with you."
Although her tone of voice was calm, Ms. Wang was so frightened that she shivered.
Seeing that she was referring to the return gift, he smiled and shook his head and said:
"Compared with my sister-in-law, I am nothing. Besides, I made all this myself, so I just bought some extra lamb scorpion. I think my sister-in-law likes to eat stir-fry, and the mutton seller said this thing is good for stir-fry." p>
"There's no need to buy two pairs, right?"
Compared with the pig lamb, half-frozen tofu, and daily ingredients, fruits, and food she gave, the things Wang gave her were not enough.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm doing everything within my ability and I'm not trying to be tough."
"That won't work. Don't blame me for falling out with you next time. We have a lot of stuff at home, and your brother sent it back this time so it's older. You can take some back later."
With the two large carts of stuff that Li Hui brought, the family won't have to buy any materials for at least five years. Moreover, the patterns of the materials are very up-to-date. It is said that they are all popular styles in the South and have not been said to be out of date in the past two years.
Mrs. Wang responded with "Hmm...ah...", but whether or not she did it was another matter.
Coming here to live their lives to this extent is partly due to their hard work, but without the help of their brother and sister-in-law, it would have been impossible.
After sitting for a while, I found an excuse and got up to go home. I thought that if I walked in a hurry, I wouldn't have to take the ingredients, but who would have thought that I would take home a lot more.
Yu Zhao, who finally rested at home, saw his wife's expression of bitterness and hatred, and couldn't help but wonder:
"What's wrong? Did you lose money in the town?"
Knowing that his wife was going to town to buy New Year's goods, he deliberately gave the three taels of silver he promised early in the morning. Could it be that the purchase was not successful?
Mrs. Wang gave him a helpless look, put down the cloth bag in her hand, and said angrily:
"Can't you hope for better things from me? I'm upset because of these old things."
"What?"
Yu Zhao asked as he opened the cloth bag, and when he saw the material, he immediately understood.
He pulled his wife to him, gently scratched the bridge of her nose, and said:
"You, don't follow our father and mother's tricks. They are totally different. You don't understand the tempers of my brother and sister-in-law? You still can't. As long as we are grateful and go all out when they need our help, things will be fine
Act within your capabilities.
You see, my parents have been thinking about repaying the twenty taels of silver. I still want to pay it back. Will it be effective? I am not bragging. My sister-in-law from the first grade of junior high school is coming back with us. She must be a lot of old people."
Wang gave a thumbs up after hearing this, admiring her husband's acumen.
She had seen it when she was picking up the ingredients just now. The packed things must have been brought back to Yujiatun on the first day of the new year. By then, father-in-law and Pim will have a headache again.
"I found out that since you went to the forest farm, your mind has become faster."
Yu Zhao chuckled after hearing this and praised her as a daughter-in-law.
Wang looked through the ingredients and took out the dark blue one.
"How about making this a coat for dad? The royal blue one is for you and my little brother. The goose yellow one is for Sister Wan, and the crimson one is for my mother."
"Okay, just look at the arrangements and give me the materials directly. No need to make them. Did you buy the earrings?"
Mrs. Wang nodded and took out the peach-shaped earrings from her red velvet purse. Yu Zhao helped his wife change them.
"Hey, I was thinking about waiting for the Chinese New Year..."
"You have to wear it sooner or later, why not wait until the Chinese New Year? Wear it early and enjoy it early."
Yu Zhao couldn't help but put it on for her, and put the original golden lilac into the red velvet pouch. He looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes were hot, and his Adam's apple moved slightly. In the next second, he pulled the woman into his arms, took off his shoes and got on the kang.
Recently, I have to stay up late every day because of accounting work, which has left my wife in the cold and my brothers in trouble. Now I have a break and my son is not at home, but I can be as free and comfortable as I want...
……
On the official road of Qianzhou, the carriage "squeaked...squeaked..." as it moved forward. Since going south, this was the only time Mrs. Pang did not ask to stop halfway.
Arriving at the pavilion where they stayed, Li Hui and Zhou Fei hurried to the back, arranged the wooden wheelchair, and took the old lady out of the car.
Pushing the wooden wheelchair to the pavilion, Xiao Qinglin, Yan Yixin and others were setting up a charcoal stove and boiling water.
"What do you want to eat for lunch, grandma? Baked buns, steamed buns, or roasted rabbit?"
Mrs. Pang looked at the agile Li Heng, nodded his forehead with a smile, and said:
"You can eat anything. Grandma is in a good mood today."
Mr. Pang came over, put the thin quilt in his hand on her legs, and said:
"This section of the road is good, you will suffer less."
"Yes, if all official roads were like Qianzhou, there would be no need for axles when traveling, and people would suffer less."
When Xiao Qinglin heard this, he came over excitedly and said:
"Master's wife, what you are talking about is what my brother often mentions."
"What did your brother mention?" Mrs. Pang asked with a smile.
The fate between people is so strange. Mrs. Pang was cold to everyone, but she had a very good attitude towards Xiao Qinglin and Li Heng.
For those who didn’t know, they thought these two were her grandchildren.
"My brother always said, 'If you want to be rich, build more roads, have more children and plant more trees.' If all the official roads in Liangyan were like Qianzhou, it would be convenient to go anywhere in the future, and it would not cost a car. Very fast."
Xiao Qinglin said it casually. Li Hui raised the corner of his mouth as he listened. Zhou Fei repeated that sentence silently.
Only the two Pang brothers looked at each other, their brows furrowed.
"Brother Tiedan eats this, it's so sweet."
Pang Yao likes to stick to Li Heng. Firstly, they are not much different in age, and secondly, Li Heng takes care of her like Li Tian.
Little girls are emotionally sensitive, and they can clearly distinguish between those who are good to her and those who are not.
Just when Li Heng was receiving the cakes, Mrs. Pang suddenly spoke——
"Li Hui, where did you hear this?"
"Ah? What?" Li Hui was a little confused.
The key point is that the old man is so serious that he even wonders if he has done something wrong.
Mr. Pang smiled and patted his wife on the shoulder, smoothing things over and saying:
"He must have made a mistake. Don't get excited. Huizi, that saying is, 'If you want to be rich, build roads first, and have fewer children and more trees.'"
Li Hui's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely noticed something.
He and his allies came here unexpectedly. Who can guarantee that no one has been here before? This is obviously a joke from later generations, and this other world should not exist at all. How did the old couple know?
Thinking of this, he laughed and said:
"Master, I did that on purpose. There is an old saying in our farm family, 'if there are people, there will be money', so it is necessary for the population to be prosperous and we cannot have fewer children.
By the way, Master, did you figure this out? I just heard it from hearsay, and then I kept talking about it. When we went out this time, the road conditions were not good, so I kept talking to Qinglin and Zhou Fei."
When he finished speaking, he clearly saw the disappointment in Mrs. Pang's eyes. At this age, the old man would not wrong himself just to "make do". He would smile when he was happy, and look embarrassed when he was unhappy.
However, the second elder did not continue this topic. Could it be that he was overthinking it?
