The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 297 Give Gifts

When the young boys heard the little cousin's question, they were stunned for a while, they couldn't embarrass the little cousin, and they were even laughed at by the little cousin. How could they have any presents that they could afford.

The snickers of the other four sisters... how can you compare to the articulate little sister!

Ye Shiqi saw the embarrassment of the relatives and teenagers. Apart from studying rote books, these teenagers really didn't have any skills.

Ye Shiqi thought so, her cousins ​​scratched their heads in embarrassment, and pulled the cloth on their heads to one side.

They haven't realized how funny the look is, funny!
"No, no gift...!" In the end, it was the elder cousin who spoke.

The other cousins ​​all shook their heads with embarrassing expressions. They all knew that this little cousin was the best. She was better at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and sculpture.

They grew up so big, it was unheard of that there was a girl who was as powerful as the little cousin.

I have to admit that they are still weak chickens, facing this little cousin is under a lot of pressure!

"You didn't give me a gift, my lord has forgiven you a lot, and I don't care about you!"

Ye Shiqi, a little girl, said such words, which made people want to laugh, but his cousins ​​nodded sharply.

Sitting on one side was Grandpa Li, and Grandma Li who was holding a baby, listening to the grandson, granddaughter, and grandson, and the granddaughter talking, the couple kept laughing.

Ye Shiqi wanted to give them gifts, not just boys, but also girls, and she had already prepared them and put them in a bag in the space.

At this time, she took out the bag from the space. When outsiders saw that she took it out of the coat bag, they couldn't help but look at her clothes. Is the little person's clothes a treasure bag?

Her older sisters saw her giving tiaras to her cousins ​​before, and thought it was just a New Year gift. Now they saw her take out a bag, and they were a little puzzled.

The sisters didn't know exactly how many ornaments Ye Shiqi carved.

"Cousin, is that candy in your hand?" Uncle's eldest son licked his mouth and asked.

The other cousins ​​didn't speak, neither did the sisters, they just looked at the bag curiously.

"Little cousin knows how to eat, it's not good for a boy to be so greedy!"

Ye Shiqi cast a disgusted look at this little cousin, which attracted the laughter of other cousins, cousins, and her sisters also laughed.

"Hee hee hee!"

The little dolls in Grandma Li's arms laughed after seeing everyone's joyful smiles. How could older children know what they were happy about?
The little cousin who was laughed at was flushed, not annoyed, but shy, the one who was laughed at lowered his head and hid behind the elder brother!

Ye Shiqi continued to tease him, fearing that her little cousin would be made to cry by her during the New Year.

"What's in the bag is not candy, it's a gift for you, do you want a gift?"

Ye Shiqi didn't just ask the boys, but also glanced at the girls.

The girls who had already received the gift just now dared not say a word. They were embarrassed to say that they wanted to accept the gift. They felt that they had already received a gift and had no gift to give away.
Those cousins ​​didn't have so many worries. They were joking before, but in fact, they were a little bit envious of the girls who received gifts.

Everyone knows that this little cousin has a lot of good things about her.

"What kind of gift is little cousin?"

The eldest son of the aunt said.

Others didn't realize that this sentence was wrong, but Ye Shiqi did. She rolled her eyes at the aunt's son and said, "You are the gift! What kind of gift is cousin?"

"Forehead……"

The cousins ​​were speechless when asked. In terms of eloquence, they thought they were not as good as this little cousin.

"Then... everyone has a share, don't be shy!"

Ye Shiqi took out from the small cloth bag, the pendant red string necklace that belonged to the boy and the bracelet that belonged to the girl.

All they saw were alive Pixiu. The teenagers and girls couldn't help but smile when they saw such beautiful jewelry.

How can such beautiful jewelry be held back and not accept gifts?

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li watched and couldn't help but stepped forward to watch.

It was not far away and already smelled the fragrance of sandalwood wood. When I got closer, I found that the necklace, pendant and bracelet were very beautiful, and the Pixiu seemed to be alive.

The old couple couldn't help admiring, feeling that the carvings are very delicate. This kind of sandalwood jewelry is very expensive in jewelry shops outside.

As farmers, the hairpins on their heads are all bought from ordinary wood.

The family has gotten better in the past two years, and I am willing to buy jewelry.

The husband and wife have gifts from their children, but they don't have this kind of sandalwood for their jewelry.

Seeing her grandpa and grandma looking at her like this, Ye Shiqi felt that she hadn't considered well, she had gifts for her cousins, how could grandpa and grandma be so young again?

There are also uncles, uncles, their wives, aunts and uncles.

In this way, a lot of gifts are needed, and it sounds like it doesn't matter if the gift is given by such a young child as her.

But she seems to represent the whole family to give gifts.

When her grandparents had their birthdays before, she didn't carve these jewelry. Later, when carving jewelry, she also considered that all the closest relatives would give one.

Grandpa and grandma have more than one item, and they made combs and wooden hairpins for them.

Ye Shiqi took out some wooden things from her pocket and said to her grandparents:

"Grandpa and grandma, this is for you!"

Ye Shiqi doesn't know if other couples will use the same comb, everyone has their own supplies, especially men's hair is so long in ancient times, it is easy to break without a better comb.

Ordinary people can buy horn combs, which are already a little more expensive than combs made of ordinary wood.

The couple's combs are different, and the wooden hairpins are also different. It can be said that the lines are different. The man is carved with auspicious clouds, and the woman is carved with magpies.

Ye Shiqi does not dare to carve dragons and phoenixes. Pixiu can still be worn by ordinary people. The characters worn by dragons and phoenixes have to be distinguished. If outsiders see them and sue the officials, they may be fined or jailed.

Even if the peony has become the national flower, ordinary people dare not embroider it and wear it.

"This is for us? My granddaughter is so good!"

The couple looked at such a beautiful comb and jewelry, holding what belonged to them in their hands, and couldn't put it down!

They don't cry during the Chinese New Year, but they have laughed and shed tears.

Seeing her grandpa and grandma so happy, Ye Shiqi felt that it was worth all her hard work.

So I didn't have time to give gifts to my cousins ​​and cousins!

The half-grown boy and the half-grown girl received a gift and put it on again if they liked it.

At this time, they looked at my jewelry, and I looked at the jewelry you were wearing, smiling cheerfully.

There were not only them in the living room, they were there, and there were other relatives, all watching with envious eyes.

Boys and girls, holding the hands of their relatives, really want their elders to help them ask for gifts.

They looked envious, they were also relatives, but not so close.

Those relatives watched their group get gifts, and the adults looked enviously at the gifts that Grandpa Li and Grandma Li got.

They will come to Li's house on the second day of the new year, and they are also relatively close relatives. Maybe someone deliberately came to Li's house on this day to meet Hongji's family.

Many relatives who can go out to work have already established relationships in the past two years and found a job in the Ye Family Manor and the wood factory.

They praised with envious words that the Li family gave birth to a good daughter and chose a good husband.

Not ashamed to have such a small doll as a gift for them, or their dolls.

Grandpa Li and Grandma Li smiled with a sense of pride, but spoke modestly.

Boys and girls who have already worn jewelry can't control the envious eyes of others, they want to show off such good jewelry to their parents.

Ye Shiqi did not secretly give gifts to relatives when there were no other relatives, not to show off to relatives.

The gifts she gave, other relatives would know about in the future, and there was no need to be sneaky about giving gifts.

I also expected this, the two bags in my hand still had gifts not given out, which belonged to the boys and girls, and the girls, like the boys, only got one piece of jewelry to wear.

Ye Shiqi didn't give away all the tiaras in her hand, they were given to her by others, and she couldn't borrow flowers to worship Buddha.

Boys and girls got a piece of jewelry, and they all happily told them that as parents, they even smiled, even though they didn't get it as parents.

Knowing that such jewelry is not cheap, if others don't give it to you, you can't blame others, and relatives can't force others to ask for gifts.

After Ye Shiqi sent out these things, she didn't give away any more, and kept the presents for the uncle, the uncle and his wife when they were about to go back.

My aunt and uncle will also send them off when they leave.

Ye Shiqi heard from the other side of the kitchen, come on, the gifted cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins ​​all wore their own jewelry to show off to their parents.

There were also voices belonging to relatives in the kitchen, and the children's parents laughed admiringly at the jewelry they were wearing.

"The kitchen is messy, go out and play!" This is the voice of the eldest aunt.

"Yes, the kitchen is so narrow, so many of you have come here, get out!" It was my uncle's voice.

The other children chose to leave the kitchen obediently, but the eldest cousin insisted:
"I'll stay and help light the fire."

The adults seemed to agree, and the eldest cousin stayed in the kitchen to help light the fire.

The other children ran back into the living room.

There was news from the kitchen again. Mrs. Li praised her nephew for being sensible and able to help with housework. Men who usually study rarely see the kitchen.

The big cousin seems to have a very small voice, and I can't hear what he said.

But the uncle said: "Sister, don't praise him, he is such a big boy, and if he doesn't help, his cousins ​​are all helping to make money!"

Ye Shiqi couldn't hear her eldest cousin's expression, but heard her eldest aunt say:
"Don't talk about children, you are usually not at home. The children help with things. They help with cooking when they come back from school. They also help with watering vegetables on rest days. Girls also help with things."

The little aunt also said: "Yes, uncle, you should exaggerate your nephew."

"Brother, did you hear that? You should praise your nephew for being sensible!" Li's voice said.

Then I heard the big cousin's voice say: "My father is right, I am not as good as my little cousin as a big cousin!"

Ye Shiqi then heard her uncle, uncle, aunt and aunt's voices praising her, the corner of her mouth curled up, and she said in her heart: "This beautiful girl can't be praised!"

Then I heard the voices of my parents, and they said some words modestly.

Ye Shiqi didn't know what they were thinking, but only knew that in the eyes of peasants, jewelry that was considered ordinary by rich and noble families was considered very precious. This is the pattern!

It is also the distance between the poor and the rich. It is not that the distance can never be shortened. This process of shortening the distance is completely an opportunity and a resource!

The Li family is very happy. They can follow the investment. They have not paid back their capital yet, and they may invest again.

Even if they can't make a lot of money, the mountains and land are still there, and they are all their properties. Although there are 1/3 of Acer, their brothers won the big one. In this right to speak, they have the right to speak.

Before there was land on the mountain to grow Ye Shiqi's herbs, Hongji wanted that mountain. The medicines planted could not be harvested for five years, and the two uncles couldn't get angry, and those paddy fields could make them pay back their money.

Hongji felt that his two manors would definitely not lose money, and that one mountain was for his daughter to practice.

With the cooperation of so many of them, the feast for four tables was finished in several pots after half an hour.

The adults began to ask the children to help serve the food, and tables were set up in the living room and in the yard.

The yard is not very wind-proof, with the warm glow of the noon sun, but it is not too cold.

There are two tables in the yard and two tables in the house.

The elderly in the family and guests enter to eat inside.

The two tables outside are occupied by their adults, and the children at home are seated.

Ye Shiqi looked out from the window and the door of the house, the two tables inside the house had the same dishes as the two tables outside.

The adults rushed to wash their hands, and saw the eldest cousin washing his hands, wiping his face, and helping to light the fire, he had ashes on his face, and his hands and clothes were stained with ashes.

The uncle and uncle began to pour wine for their father, but they did not pour wine for his father.

"I won't drink today, don't pour me wine." Hongji stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Second brother-in-law, what do you mean? Didn't you agree, let's drink two more glasses today? You can't refuse wine."

What Li Zhihao said was that his brother-in-law was dishonest, and he clearly agreed that today they will come and have a drink with them happily.

The celebratory wine can wait days!

"No, I'm a coachman today, I can't drink if I want to drive an ox cart!"

Acer's mother-in-law agrees with this explanation.

"Yes, yes, you can't drink while driving."

Grandpa Li also nodded and said, "Second son, pour wine for dad!"

Grandma Li stopped again: "You are young and have some minor problems, so you can't drink!"

"Old woman, what are you talking about? Today I have meat and wine. If you tell me, an old man, not to drink, you will make me greedy."

He paused, glanced at his daughter-in-law, son, daughter, and son-in-law, and said, "I haven't dealt with those little problems for two years. It's okay to have a few sips."

Then he gave his second son a threatening look.

"Hmph, only one cup."

Hearing what his mother said, Li Zhihao often said with threatening eyes from his father: "Father, mother is also doing it for your own good, so you can only drink one cup at mother's order."

Grandpa Li couldn't help it, he didn't agree, and he didn't shake his head.

Li Zhihao poured wine for the elder brother-in-law again and said: "Second brother-in-law doesn't drink, elder brother-in-law, you should drink a few more glasses when you walk, if you get drunk, there is a room here for you to sleep in."

"Hehe, well, let's toast!" How could the eldest brother-in-law who had been named refuse.
