One by one, the newspapers reported that their families are all well-known families or dignitaries in Xiangshan County.
There are at least a dozen of them, and the Liu family's halls are piled up full with gifts.
The two elders of the Liu family looked worried at the dazzling array of things.
"Where did our family have these things before? You said that these gifts came, and we didn't know them one by one, so why did you suddenly touch the door?" Old lady Liu looked sad.
"Those people reported all the titles of our daughters and daughters, and they are afraid of being the county owner. Otherwise, how could an noble person who could not be climbed before suddenly give gifts to people in our township." The old man was relieved, "Don't think too much," When someone gives a gift, let’s walk away from favors and give a gift in return, just as long as we don’t lose face."
"I'm just worried about how to return the gift. Look at these. These are all expensive things. The key is that we don't need it. How to return? If you want to go back and forth according to this arrangement, you have to spend a fortune." The old woman felt distressed. of!
Their family’s money is all the painstaking exchange of the nanny and the family’s son and daughter-in-law planting fruit trees and medicinal materials. How can it be used to save face
Listening to the old woman's words, the old man flipped through the gifts, which were all silk, satin, gold and silver jewelry.
It's really not needed. The good fabrics piled up in their warehouse can't be used up.
The family members never wear extra gold and silver jewelry and show off.
As for the famous wine and tea, the old man is a bit disgusted. These things can't catch up with the health-care wine and health-care tea that their family concocted for them.
"When she gets up, ask her how she wants to get back." Old man Liu said.
This matter is not as simple as it seems.
At first glance, it seems to be giving gifts to their family and making friends with the county head. What ideas are made by the people behind them will not tell you brightly on their faces.
They are all mud-legs, country folks, and don't know so much.
If you cover your head and mind and accept all the orders, you may cause trouble for their family.
Liu Yusheng slept for a while, and when he went to the hall with Fu Yuzheng, he saw a big family worrying about a bunch of gifts.
"Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, second uncle and second aunt, what's wrong?" Walking over, Liu Yusheng's eyes fell on the gifts, "Who sent these things?"
The whole family looked over together, "They are all rich and noble families in the county town. They have never visited before, all of them belong to the county lord He Ruyi."
Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng glanced at each other, flashing across each other's eyes.
"Nanny, do you want to accept these gifts, how to return them, you can tell your grandma, when the time comes, grandma will come, don't worry, I am worried that those people will make your idea."
Liu Yusheng nodded and smiled, "Okay."
In fact, this is just to relieve the old man's mind.
Those people had already made it clear that they would give it to the head of Ruyi County, and she couldn't tell her the relationship.
Those people in the county town moved as soon as they heard the news, thinking they had heard the news from Beijing.
It is not her Ruyi County lord who they want to cling to, but the Nanling King behind them.
"It's just ordinary New Year's gifts. Don't be so nervous. It is estimated that those wealthy and wealthy people have become county owners. If they want to make a good relationship, we will treat them with ordinary hearts." Fu Yuzheng also relieved several elders, "Yes. In the capital, it is very common for people in the same circle to give gifts to each other to maintain friendship.
"Really?"
"It's true."
The two girls laughed calmly, and the family's hearts also calmed down.
They don't quite understand the doctrines of the upper class, but they often hear the sordidness between the rich and the rich, and they inevitably worry more.
On the contrary, the excitement of being included in an equal position by the upper class is completely absent.
It is not recognized by others, and their position is not important to them. They are ordinary farmers living in Xinghua Village, and they live their lives in peace. No outsider's affirmation or denial is required. They don't live for others.
"Then these years, how should we return?" When the old woman asked, her eyes were a little nervous.
"Let's treat it the same, and we will return to the fruit wine of our Xinghua Village Winery, plus a small jar of medicinal wine."
"Just give away wine?"
"Just give it away."
"Oh, my old woman can rest assured!" The old woman slapped her thigh, and she loosened her whole body. "I thought we would also give away silk, silk, gold and silver jewelry or something. We will have to buy silver at that time. It has been worrying all morning! "
The family laughed.
"Mother, your little money box is almost full of cash, and you are afraid to spend that point?" Liu Er joked.
"I don't feel distressed when I spend it on you, it's like cutting meat when I spend it on others. I'd rather not accept the gift or go out to buy money." The old woman snorted. It was her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandchildren who made a little bit of money. Down.
It's the property of their family, which will be kept for the children in the future.
Liu Er immediately leaned forward and hugged his old mother's thigh, "Mother, you can spend your money on me now! No more restrictions!"
"Go! Go kill the chicken, it's time to prepare New Year's Eve dinner!"
Elder Liu kicked him first, kicking people away from the old wife.
Liu Er ran away and said helplessly, "Father, can't you keep a little bit of strength, I'm new clothes! I have all my footprints!"
The people in the room leaned forward and backward with laughter.
Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu came out late, only to see Liu Er howling to catch chickens in the stove cage.
Xue Qinglian's eyes lit up immediately, and she didn't even enter the hall, so she followed up with the stove, "Second Uncle, what about killing chickens?"
"Yes, this kind of rough work requires the masters to do it!" The rough work of the masters has become the default rule in the family.
Anything that requires physical strength belongs to the man.
Farm work that goes to the ground, move and carry, and the small one at home, killing chickens, geese, cutting meat, minced meat, etc., all fall into this category.
It's no longer possible to know when this rule was implemented. He only remembered that the cause was that their daughter and daughter had said that they would spoil their daughters as princesses, and that would be a good man.
Just for this, the family elders began to spare no effort.
It's worth seeing the sweet smile of my maidens!
"Second uncle, I am a man too, I will kill the chicken! Go and rest next to you!"
"Can you do it?"
"Why not, there is something that Xue Qinglian can't do?" Xue Qinglian flexed her hands, took the clucking cock from Liuzhuang, and then drove people away, "Just leave it to me, you go to the fire."
Liu Erzhen left, "There is still a big grass carp in the water basin over there, you should deal with it together."
"Okay, rest assured!"
There was a long cock crowing soon from the stove, and then there was no sound.
When it was almost time, when the old woman took her two daughter-in-laws to the kitchen room to prepare to cook, she looked dumbfounded at the scene in the kitchen room.
"Qinglian, what are you doing?"
"Kill chickens and fish." Xue Qinglian grinned.
