The Farmer's Daughter is the Favorite of the Family

Gifts

Shopkeeper Hong said: "Thank you for your kindness, old man, but I'm afraid we won't be able to do it today. We have to rush to the capital before the end of the year to report this year's income accounts to the master. We will set off when we get back."

The old man said: "Then since the two of you have something to do, I'm not in a position to dwell on it, but the two of you wait for a moment, as a courtesy, let's also prepare some small gifts, I'll ask the shopkeeper to help me bring them to Mr. Su and Mr. Jing."

Shopkeeper Tong nodded and said: "Okay, I will definitely deliver the things to the master for you."

Mrs. Wang quickly took her daughter-in-law to take the prepared New Year gifts to the front hall, and said with a smile: "What we are giving you is some food that we made ourselves, and there is nothing expensive. Please don't dislike it."

Shopkeeper Tong looked at the two identical New Year gifts. Among them were several wooden boxes containing several small jars of different colors. There were labels on them that said various fruit jams. They looked particularly delicate. There were also Some white noodle-like things wrapped in oil paper.

So he asked curiously: "Old man, why have I never seen these things in your house?"

The old man smiled and said: "These are all foods developed by my family. They are definitely not available outside, and they are not expensive."

Qibao said: "Yes, Grandpa Hong, Grandpa Tong, this jam can be made into tea or made into snacks. They are both very delicious. And the flower cake is made of plum blossoms. It tastes delicious too. They are all made at home. Yes, there are also these vermicelli, boiled in broth for a while, they are also delicious, my grandpa especially likes to eat vermicelli!"

Shopkeeper Hong joked: "Hey, girl, I can't even taste what you said. How can I know if it tastes good or not? This is all the master's and it's not my share!"

"Yes!" Shopkeeper Tong also agreed.

Qibao said with a smile: "When the two grandpas come back, you can come to my house and eat as much as you want!"

"Okay, that's what you said, so we won't be polite!"

Shopkeeper Hong and Shopkeeper Tong had the driving boys carry the Xu family's annual gifts into the carriage.

Although they are all food, they are not available outside, and there are several portions of each item.

Shopkeeper Hong was actually very curious about the fruit jams sent by the Xu family. Where did the fruits come from this season? But before leaving, the master specifically told him that he was not allowed to inquire about the Xu family's affairs. Even if he knew something, he could not say a word to anyone. Therefore, he would rather not know than ask too much. He would give Old Hong a heads up later.

Sending away the two shopkeepers, Mrs. Wang opened the New Year's gift sent by Su Chenyu, and was instantly a bit surprised: "This is a pair of golden turban, this, this is too expensive!"

Others gathered around and were very surprised when they saw the dazzling gold jewelry.

Opening the other boxes, they all contained some relatively expensive and exquisite jewelry. Judging from the quantity, one was prepared for each woman in the family. There was also a jade ring, which seemed to be given to the old man.

The old man sighed: "It cost Chen Yu so much, and what we gave him is not worth mentioning!"

Qibao said: "Grandpa don't be presumptuous, although the things we sent are made by our own family, they are all made with the spirit fruits from my master's place, eating them is good for one's body! No amount of money can buy it!"

The old man thought about it and felt relieved.

Mrs. Zhang spoke: "I don't know what Jing Chen sent, but just don't be so expensive."

Opening up several long ropes wrapped in brocade, you can see that they are made of silk, which is used to make clothes. It feels smooth and very comfortable, and it doesn't look cheap at first glance.

Among them, there was a piece of lotus root pink material with dark lines that caught Wang's attention and said: "This color is not suitable for women like us. It should be for Qibao, right? It's really beautiful. When it is made into clothes, Qibao will definitely be no worse than a lady from a wealthy family!"

Others touched the material and smiled: "Yes, it is just right for Qibao. When we have time, we will use this material to make two sets of clothes for Qibao to wear."

Wang carefully wrapped these materials and opened other boxes. There were also a lot of gold, silver and jade articles, as well as good rice paper for her brother and the others, a few Wolf Howling brushes, tea leaves for the old man, and some The exquisite pastries are not found in town.

Xu Dabo exclaimed: "I'm afraid all these things cost a lot of money, it seems like they're up to their eyeballs in our family!"

The others nodded, thinking that these two children were so honest!
