The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 135 Generous congratulations

Grandpa Li saw this little niece for the first time, and he kept hearing from his wife that the daughter born to the little girl was different from other daughters, but it was a pity that it was not a boy.

This time, Grandpa Li is not celebrating his birthday. He only invites close relatives. Those who are interested are here. Farmers don’t invite chefs. They cook with their own family members and set up a few tables in the living room and yard.

The uncle, uncle, and their wife greeted Hongji and his wife politely, and then began to work in the kitchen.

As a son-in-law, Hongji will not be idle here. Farmers always have to help out when they come to the father-in-law's house. If they are like a guest waiting for dinner, then it should not be, and they will gossip.

The uncle and aunt also went to help in the kitchen. The men killed chickens and ducks, and the women helped cut and wash vegetables, and they worked together.

Li Shi didn't stay to talk to her parents personally, she also went to help in the kitchen.

Grandma Qi gave the doll to Grandpa Li to hold, which made this grandfather, who always wanted to hug his grandchildren, a little uncomfortable.

Married women and their relatives come to celebrate birthdays, and usually there will be chickens or pork. Li's eldest sister caught a chicken, and the chicken was being slaughtered outside, and she also killed two of her own ducks.

Grandma Qi went to look at the presents that Mrs. Li had brought in. When you send gifts to the host’s house, you have to return them. By the way, check if there is any pork or the like for cooking, and cut half of it to return the gift.

Grandma Qi took a look at the presents. There were snacks, bacon, roast chicken and duck, and roast pork. These were all sincere congratulatory gifts. There were also two sets of winter coats made of cotton.

It seems to be men's and women's styles. Grandma Qi understands that these are clothes for the two elders, and there are fabrics, both men's and women's colors.

Grandma Qi didn't ask her daughter clearly just now, did she buy these gifts herself?

Seeing these gifts, Grandma Qi hurriedly asked her husband to come and see them. Grandpa Li didn't say that his son-in-law spent money extravagantly when he saw these gifts, but for the first time he felt honored in front of his relatives.

Where did this son-in-law get these gifts from before?

Neither the son-in-law nor the daughter responded to Grandma Qi's question just now. Now I asked the oldest niece, Da Ya, their parents bought so many things and spent a lot of money, right?

"Siblings, isn't it great that your daughter and son-in-law are so filial? Why are there too many gifts?"

Among the relatives, Grandpa Li's eldest sister kept looking at those gifts with envious eyes.

"That is to say, it is not easy to earn a little money, so we can only spend it recklessly." Grandma Qi just finished speaking.

Da Ya replied, "Grandma, my mother told me that these gifts are gifts from the master's family to grandpa, and they were not bought by my mother."

"Oh, the Tang family is really generous." Grandma Qi took out the chickens, ducks, pork, and bacon, took them to the kitchen to cook, and asked the family to leave chicken legs and some meat for them to bring. go back.

Grandma Qi took the things to the kitchen. Li Shi and Hongji, who were helping out in the kitchen, didn't know what the presents were?
Seeing so much meat, Uncle Li, the chef who was cooking, felt that it was time to show his skills.

With the joint efforts of so many people, the meal was cooked quickly.

Da Ya picked up the little sister from her grandfather's hand, and she was on the side with several other sisters, playing with some cousins, cousins ​​and cousins, and they came to the table to sit at the table after the meal was cooked.

Usually women and children are not allowed to eat at the table, but today there are many dishes and there are not many guests, women and children can eat at the table.

The coachman also had dinner with the host's family. Grandpa Li's birthday was today, and his face was full of red. Uncle Li picked up the jar of wine sent by the Tang family and filled a glass of wine for all the men present.

The men drink and eat food first, and Hongji also has to drink for the face-saving. Everyone celebrates Grandpa Li's birthday.

The men here drank and ate food, began to chat, and began to open up the topic.

"Hongji, how is your carpentry these days?"

Grandpa Li had already heard about some things, and it was inconvenient for relatives to inquire about them. He only heard gossip from others that his son-in-law had become rich, and he should pay more money to be filial to his father-in-law.

He felt a little relieved when he heard others say this, but he didn't let his two sons, who were growing and selling vegetables, go to find their son-in-law to find a job.

"It's okay. I used to be a carpenter and learned to carve, but I didn't use it to make money. Recently, I came up with some ideas, and the Tang family happened to be interested in my carving skills. They wanted to cooperate with me to open a factory. , and now the factory is under construction."

Hongji would not keep a word in front of his father-in-law, and all the people here are relatives.

"Brother-in-law, can you find a job for my brother-in-law? Recently, the old man in the family has a lot of money for illness. The family is a bit difficult, and I want to find a job."

"Brother-in-law, I don't care about the factory. For example, building a house now is a job hired by Butler Tang. If you need a job, apply for it."

"Brother-in-law, I don't have any skills, I only have brute strength, and I am not smart. I am indeed ashamed of your sister."

"It's okay, you went to apply for the job. Many people have no skills. Anyway, if you have the opportunity to learn, you can do it. If you can make a little money, it's a little bit. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's not easy."

Uncle Li and Uncle Li wanted to join in after hearing what they said.

"Brother-in-law, look at that our brothers don't have any skills. They have been growing and selling vegetables for a living these years. If you have any ideas, for example, the vegetables we grow can be sold."

"" Or when your factory opens, I will go to your factory to do a job, and if I don't know how to go to school, a job may be better than me growing vegetables and selling them. "

"That's right! We brothers can't make much money just by growing vegetables and selling them. There are some things that women in our family can do. Now it's the slack season, so we have to do some work to make money for the New Year!"

After hearing what they both said, Acer understood that they wanted him to open the back door.

"It's still the same sentence just now. If I want to find a job and go to Butler Tang, I just do carpentry and don't care about recruiting people."

People who don't know Acer would think that he was resigning and didn't want to introduce jobs.

Here are all close people, more or less understand that Acer thinks people, not directors.

"Okay, let's go to see the worker tomorrow morning, it's only two miles away, much closer than walking to the county town to sell vegetables."

The men were chatting, and Grandpa Li felt comforted when he heard that both his son and son-in-law wanted to work.

Fathers don't ask them to be rich, as long as they work diligently, they won't worry about two meals.

Mrs. Li sat with her mother, and Grandma Qi said that her daughter had lost weight and should eat more.

"Second Sister, she is much prettier than before, and she looks younger than me." The little aunt envied Li Shi's fair face, which was not like her sunbathing every day. She was one or two years younger and looked older than Li Shi.

"Second Sister, looking at you, you have a good life as a nanny!" Sister Li said, looking at Second Sister enviously.
