"Uncle Old Ding, have you delivered all the things?" Old Ding went back to resume his duties, but he saw Zhou Zhengnan immediately.
"Well, everything was delivered, and Miss Sun was very happy. She asked me to donate everything to Huimin Hall. I sent everything to Huimin Hall and donated it in Miss Sun's name before I came back."
Ding smiled at him and said.
"That's it..." Zhou Zhengnan didn't expect that Zhuqing would donate everything to Huimin Hall, and he felt a little disappointed. He looked at Lao Ding, but he hesitated to speak.
What he actually wanted to ask was whether Zhu Qing had received the few small jewelry he gave Zhu Qing in the name of his mother.
But when Lao Ding said this, he was embarrassed to ask more questions.
"Miss Sun likes the few small jewelry pieces given by the eldest wife very much. She said she will definitely wear them during the New Year!" Lao Ding saw Zhou Zhengnan's little thoughts, but he added it deliberately and pretended to be casual.
"Oh, it's good that she likes it!" Zhou Zhengnan nodded, feeling relieved. Then he looked at Lao Ding, but he was a little unhappy, as Lao Ding had just been deliberately playing tricks on him!
But Lao Ding didn't wait for him to get angry. He raised his eyebrows and smiled in advance: "If you have nothing to do, sir, I will leave first. I still have something to ask me to do!"
Then he strode away quickly. What a joke, he didn't want to wait for the young master to come to his senses and settle the score with him again.
Zhou Zhengnan looked at Old Ding's retreating back, and what he wanted to say suddenly got stuck in his throat. This Old Ding is too cunning!
However, he felt very happy when he thought that the jewelry he personally selected had been approved by Zhuqing and that she would wear it on her head during the New Year.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has given a gift to a girl in his life. However, this seems normal. After all, is this girl his savior?
Moreover, he also saw that the last few times she appeared in front of him, she didn't have any good clothes, let alone jewelry. Therefore, he thought about giving her some gifts like this during the New Year to make her look more festive.
Yes, his starting point is so pure. Lao Ding’s unknown smile just now is really unfounded!
Zhou Zhengnan almost used hypnosis to convince himself. Therefore, he finally calmed down.
Of course, Zhuqing didn't know that the jewelry given by Mrs. Zhou that Lao Ding sent over had so many twists and turns.
In order to save trouble, she never wears any cumbersome things like hairpins on her hair.
But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Mrs. Wang will definitely not let her dress like this anymore.
These things Mrs. Zhou gave her were just right for her to wear during the New Year.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Wang planned to make snacks at home.
Their family has received a lot of snacks from Murakami's neighbors one after another. She also plans to return gifts to everyone after making them. This can be regarded as a normal social interaction in the countryside.
This kind of social interaction was rare in their family before. Therefore, now that it is available, Wang is very happy and willing to maintain such a relationship.
"Mom, make more radish-filled buns, I like to eat them. And let's make more jujube cakes, okay? I remember grandma and the others like to eat them!" Seeing Mrs. Wang starting to make snacks, Zhu Qing and
Zhushan was on the sidelines giving ideas.
"Okay, no problem!" Ms. Wang nodded. She was happy to meet the children's requests.
In previous years, when their family made snacks, because they didn't have enough food at home, they would go to Sun Fuhou's house to make some with them, and then share some at home to eat.
In order to get some snacks that the children like to eat, the Wang family is often the main force in making snacks. Sun Fucheng is always responsible for helping to light the fire and so on. The rest of the cleaning work is also done by their family. It can be said that,
Their family is responsible for making snacks at home almost every year
the main force.
But even if they did this, they would just be dismissed by Lu with a few buns.
When they actually get to eat dim sum, it's often food sent to them by Wang's family.
This year Wang and the others gave them New Year gifts early.
Therefore, the Wang family has also sent a lot of steamed buns and snacks.
Of course, even with these buns, Wang and the others still think they should have a good New Year. This is the first time they decided to steam buns at home, which is a good symbol.
In order to steam the dim sum well, Wang and the others bought steamers and other items from the market that day.
They started working early in the morning. Sun Fucheng was responsible for lighting the fire and setting up the steamer. Wang was responsible for making snacks, Zhuqing helped, and Zhushan was asked by the family to endorse everyone.
Nowadays, everyone regards listening to Zhushan’s endorsement as a kind of enjoyment.
For Zhushan, reviewing the past and learning the new is also a kind of progress.
"Uncle, grandma asked me to come over and ask if your family would like to steam dim sum with us this year?"
On this day, Zhuqing's family was very busy, and Zhushui came over to ask questions.
"Wow, uncle, your family has made so many steamed buns this year? More than our family and my uncle's family have made! Can I try one?" Seeing the newly baked steamed buns from Zhuqing's family, Zhu Shui asked.
I simply couldn't walk.
Mrs. Wang looked at his childish look, but smiled and nodded: "Of course, you can try one! This is the first year that our family has made steamed buns by ourselves!"
Seeing that Wang agreed, Zhu Shui immediately grabbed a bun stuffed with shredded radish and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about burning it.
"Wow, there's meat!" Zhu Shui's mouth watered with joy after eating the steamed buns with juicy fillings and plenty of water.
"Auntie, your bun fillings are so delicious! If you don't make them with us this year, my mother will definitely have to make the fillings. My mother's fillings will definitely not be as delicious as yours!" Zhu Shui ate while eating.
, but he was complaining.
"If it tastes good, eat more. My family has made a lot of steamed buns this year." Wang felt very happy when she heard Zhu Shui praising herself.
"Hmm, I, I want to eat a few more!" Zhu Shui was like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating three big buns in one go before giving up.
Before leaving, he actually faced Mrs. Wang with a shy face: "Auntie, your steamed buns are so delicious, can I take a few back?"
This guy, is he still shameless? He wants to take away the food! Just when Zhu Qing wanted to quarrel with him, Wang agreed with a smile: "Okay, I originally planned to send some to your house. Since
If you take it back, it will save us a lot of trouble."
She brought twenty buns back to Zhu Shui and told him to be careful on the road.
"Mom, grandma only gave us a dozen or so buns at most before. Why did you give them so many at once?" Zhu Qing had the memory of the original owner, so she felt very unhappy when she saw Wang doing this.
"Qingya, forget it. Now that we have a family, let's be filial to the elderly! Let what happened in the past go by!" Wang's answer made Zhuqing a little shocked.
"Well, since you said so, mother, let it pass! Our family doesn't lack those buns now." Zhu Qing nodded.
It's because she's a little obsessed. Now that things are over and her family has slowly gotten rid of the fate of poverty, let's just look forward and stop worrying about the past!
However, she was still a little uncomfortable with giving so many buns to Sun Fuhou's family. After all, their family had never calculated anything against her before.
The buns were all steamed, and Zhuqing and her family also sat down to enjoy the buns they had made by themselves.
Although the skin of the buns is not as soft as those bought from outside shops, and the fillings are not as delicious as those Zhuqing had in her previous life. But Zhuqing still feels that these buns are the most delicious buns she has ever eaten in her life!
After all, it was made by her own hands, so it is of great significance.
After eating the steamed buns, Wang divided the steamed buns into portions and asked Zhuqing and Zhushan to deliver them to the people Murakami knew well.
Zhuqing took a portion first and went to Li Zheng's house.
Seeing Zhu Qing coming over, Li Zheng's wife Ju Ying was very enthusiastic: "Qing Ya, why are you so polite! Did you make these buns at home?"
Zhuqing smiled and nodded: "Well, this is the first time our family has made it. My mother asked me to send some over for you to try!"
"Oh, it's my first time to make steamed buns, and it's not easy to deliver them so well! Okay, you can put it down, thank you!" Aunt Juying looked at the steamed buns sent by Zhuqing and was full of praise.
Hearing what she said, Zhuqing was also very happy. Countryside people like good omens. If the buns are made well, it means that the family's livelihood will be good next year and there is hope for a fortune.
Aunt Juying said these kind words specifically for their family.
"Thank you Aunt Juying for the compliment! I still have things to do at home, so I'll go back first!" Zhu Qing said goodbye to her with a smile.
"Qingya, you kid, hurry up, grab a handful of peanuts and take them with you to eat on the way!" Of course Aunt Juying couldn't let her go back empty-handed. Instead, she grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into Zhuqing's cotton-padded jacket pocket.
Peanuts, here in Zhuqing, are also called longevity fruits. They have a very good meaning and are also a must-have for the Chinese New Year.
"Thank you Aunt Juying!" Zhuqing filled her pockets with peanuts and went home happily.
When she got home, she saw her mother Wang and Zhushan looking a little unhappy on their faces.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Zhu Qing asked quickly.
"Hey, just don't mention it! It's not a big deal!" Seeing Zhushan about to speak, Wang said quickly.
"Mom, what's going on? Don't you just want to hide something from me! The Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't hold anything in your heart!" Zhu Qing frowned at Wang.
She didn't like Wang's forbearance in everything. So, she always wanted to correct her.
"Hey, it's really not a big deal!" Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed.
Zhushan was a little indignant: "Sister, the matter is not serious, but Aunt Huaihua went too far!"
"I went to deliver steamed buns to Sister-in-law Guihua's house, and she saw her. She looked unhappy and said they were all neighbors. Why did our family send steamed buns to Sister-in-law Guihua's family but not hers? She said our family
This is unfair! He also said, Sister-in-law Osmanthus
My wife is just good at flattering and always fawning over our family, so she has such a good relationship with our family! She also exchanged some words with Sister-in-law Guihua, which made Sister-in-law Osmanthus cry! If I had known this, I think it would be better for us not to give him away.
The buns are on their way!"
Although Zhushan is young, he has begun to read and is very articulate, so he can basically tell the truth of the matter in a few words.
As soon as Zhuqing heard this, he knew the secret.
Sister-in-law Osmanthus Osmanthus has always been very kind to their family, so as soon as the buns were steamed today, they left a portion to give her as a return gift.
Zhushan was young, so he was responsible for sending it to her house. After all, their house was next door.
But when Zhushan sent it over, Aunt Huaihua saw it.
Aunt Huaihua found out that Sister-in-law Guihua could be treated like this, but she herself was not, so she was very sour. She said many sour words to Zhushan.
Zhushan was young and tender-faced, so he felt very embarrassed when she said a few words to him.
Sister-in-law Guihua couldn't stand it, so she came out to help Zhushan deal with it for a few words. As a result, Aunt Huaihua was completely pissed off, and she began to deliberately criticize Huaihua, saying that no matter how good Sister-in-law Guihua was, she couldn't give birth to a son.
No matter how good you are in the village, you may not be rewarded in the future.
She knew very well that Sister-in-law Guihua was in the greatest pain because she had no son, so she kept saying this, which made Sister-in-law Osmanthus cry with anger.
Zhushan felt very sorry when he saw that his family had brought a pot of steamed buns as a gift, but had caused such a fuss to Sister-in-Law Guihua.
But he was young and didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to go home and ask Wang for help.
The mother and son had just talked about this matter when Zhu Qing came back.
Mrs. Wang knew that Zhuqing was not interested in Aunt Huaihua, and was afraid that she would get excited and quarrel with Aunt Huaihua again, so she stopped her with words.
Zhuqing was also very angry when he heard such things.
They had good intentions and wanted to repay Sister-in-law Osmanthus's love. Who knew that they would make him so angry instead.
Speaking of which, we can't blame them nor Sister-in-law Osmanthus Hua. If we want to blame it, we still have to blame Aunt Huaihua for her short eyelids.
And what she did was really too much. Normally she only knew how to take advantage of others, and she didn't give back at all. Now she actually wants to think about other people's things. I really don't know where she got such a big face.
The key issue is that he actually viciously attacks the innocent sister-in-law Guihua.
Zhuqing felt that his uncle could tolerate this kind of behavior, but his aunt couldn't.
"We need to comfort Sister-in-law Guihua about this mother matter. If we hadn't given her steamed buns, she wouldn't have had to suffer this. I'm going to comfort her right now." Zhuqing stood up and turned around to go.
Go to Sister-in-law Guihua’s house.
"Qingya, do you know what to say to him when we go? Why don't you go with your mother? It would be easier for her to tell him." Wang considered that Zhuqing was a little girl, so she went to comfort her when she was told that she couldn't give birth.
There seems to be something a little inappropriate about my son's sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans.
And he didn't expect how Zhu Qing would comfort her.
"No, I know how to comfort Sister-in-law Guihua's mother, so don't worry and let me go! Sister-in-law Guihua just didn't give birth to a son! I think I can ask my master how to get her pregnant and have a baby!"
If he gives birth to a big fat boy by then, Huaihua Shou will have nothing to say about him!"
