Chapter 109
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

According to the rules of the Great Qin Dynasty, the younger generation of the separated family should send the New Year gifts to the elders by the male members of the family on the day of the New Year's Eve.

Tao Hechen is the only male in Qianlian's family now, so the burden of delivering the New Year gifts naturally falls on Tao Hechen.

Mrs. Duan has already prepared the New Year's gift for the old house, because this year's family has a good life, and she doesn't want to be criticized by the villagers for being stingy, so the New Year's gift prepared by Mrs. Duan for the old house is still very decent: one Five catties of pork belly, two pieces of cloth, a box of Suxinzhai snacks and a pack of high-quality tobacco leaves.

"Brother, come back early after you give the New Year gift. Let's go to the town to give the Zhou family a New Year gift, so that we can go to Wenxianglou to have a good meal." Qian Lian told Tao Hechen with a smile.

I heard from Ah Fu that every year on New Year's Eve, the chef in Wenxianglou will cook a few private banquet dishes. The chef also has a personality, and these few private banquet dishes are definitely not cooked on weekdays. Yes, she will only show her talents during the New Year's Eve. This is something she can't usually eat. Qian Lian has longed for it for a long time. If she doesn't taste all the delicacies in this world, wouldn't she be let down by her life in this world? By?
"Okay." Tao Hechen naturally knew what Qianlian was thinking, so he hurriedly responded with a smile.

Duan then warned: "Erlang, if your grandparents say something unpleasant, just pretend not to hear it. It's Chinese New Year, don't argue with them."

"Mom, I'll save it." Tao Hechen nodded.

The old pine spirit was eager to try: "Brother Chen, why don't I go with you, if someone bullies you, I will support you and beat him up!"

Duan couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle Song, you can't force it, you just wait at home for Erlang to come back."

Mrs. Duan can't rest assured that the old pine tree spirit will follow her to the old house. If she gets old, if she gets knocked out of anger, she will suffer a lot.

"That's fine." The old pine tree spirit had no choice but to say, "Brother Chen, come back early and ignore those bastards."

Tao Hechen suppressed a smile and replied, "Okay."

When Tao Hechen came to the old house, the old house had just had breakfast.

Now it's New Year's Eve, except for Tao Hewen, who has not returned from studying abroad, and his married daughter, everyone in the old Tao's family is now in the old house.

For the past few months, Mrs. Tao Qian has been very angry. After breakfast, she was scolding Mrs. Li: "It's really getting better and better, and you can't even cook a meal? Look at what you have done? Even porridge can be burnt, what else can you do?"

Listening to Tao Qian's cursing, Mrs. Li looked at Tao Zhili and Tao Heting aggrievedly.

Tao Zhili acted as if he hadn't heard or seen, drinking tea leisurely and contentedly. Ever since he found out that Mrs. Li helped Li Gao pay off his gambling debts with the money he gave her, Tao Zhili was very dissatisfied and disliked Mrs. Li even more. If it weren't for the fact that Li Shi gave birth to him two sons, Tao Zhili would have driven Li Shi back to her natal family.

As for Tao Heting, he turned to Tao Qian: "Mother, grandma is right. Today's porridge is so unpalatable. It is serious for you to admit your mistake to grandma. Besides, what happened today was originally your fault, let alone the elders." It is only natural to teach the younger generation.”

As for the people in Sanfang, except for Tao Heyang, who ate the snacks that Tao Qianshi gave him mouthful, everyone else sat aside with nothing to do with themselves.

Tao Erde was still smoking a pipe and pot and did not speak.

She was scolded in front of the whole family during Chinese New Year, and Li felt unspeakably embarrassed. Seeing that her father-in-law and son were not facing her, Li felt even more wronged. If her mother-in-law hadn't urged her to feed her Chickens feed pigs, can she burn the porridge?
I just hate that my mother-in-law is only holding her to study alone now, but there is no one to help her.

Thinking of this, Li couldn't help shedding two tears.

When Tao Qian saw it, he burst into flames: "Cry! Do you still have the face to cry? Where did you get the face? You have been thinking about using money from my Tao family to fill your old Li's family. You are reasonable, aren't you?" ?”

"Mother, I never did that again." Li Shi said, wiping away tears.

Ever since Li Gao went to Qian Lian's house to steal, Li Shanhe has been stricter in managing Li's executives. Li Gao has no chance to go out for money at all, so why would he ask her to pay off his gambling debts?
However, the mother-in-law just clung to what happened at the beginning, and she clearly said that she would not tell her husband, but he still knew.

For Tao Qian, Li secretly hated him, but he had no choice.

Now her life in this family is very difficult, and she even envies Mrs. Duan. Now that Mrs. Duan is living a good life. Seeing how the house was built, she even bought a carriage. The entire Taoshan Village belongs to her family The most generous.

"That's me watching." Tao Qian snorted coldly: "But where I can't watch, who knows if you will send the money to your natal family again, and one day if you don't keep it, we will move our entire old Tao's house." It's empty."

Mrs. Li pursed her lips, now that her husband doesn't give her any money, how can she have any money to give to her natal family?

Xiaoqian watched the joke on the side, and seeing Li's deflated look, she curled the corners of her mouth proudly.

At this time, Tao Hechen came over with the New Year's gift, saw that the courtyard door was wide open, and there was no one in the courtyard, so he stood at the courtyard door and called to the main room: "Grandma, grandma, I will send you New Year's greetings." Here comes Li."

Hearing Tao Hechen's voice, Li quickly wiped away her tears, and retreated behind Tao Zhili. She didn't want to be laughed at by the second room.

Seeing Li Shi's actions, Tao Qian gave her a hard look, and ignored Tao Hechen's words at all.

Tao Erde glanced at Tao Qianshi, and said loudly, "Erlang, come in."

"Hey." Hearing Tao Erde's voice, Tao Hechen entered the courtyard and headed for the main room, only to find that the people in the old house are now in the main room.

After calling people one by one, Tao Hechen said to Tao Erde and Tao Qianshi: "Master, grandma, this is a New Year gift prepared by my mother for you."

As he spoke, he put the New Year gift he brought on the table.

Seeing those New Year's gifts, Tao Qian curled her lips, feeling very unhappy in her heart. She felt that Duan's was extremely stingy. She lived in such a big house and even bought the only carriage in the village. Children, who is poor?
But now Tao Qian knew that he could no longer treat Qian Lian's family like before, so although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say it out, but the expression on his face was extremely bad.

When Tao Hechen saw it, he pretended not to see it, so he said, "Grandma, grandma, you can eat this meat and snacks to strengthen your body."

As he said that, Tao Hechen picked up the two pieces of cloth, which happened to be two colors: one dark purple and one dark brown: "This is the cloth my mother prepared for the second elder. It can be made into a suit of clothes. I hope the second elder likes it."

Then, Tao Hechen picked up the pack of tobacco leaves again, and said to Tao Erde: "Master, this is the tobacco leaf that my mother specially prepared for you. She said that all the nobles in the county smoke this tobacco leaf. Look at how good it is." it is good."

Tao Erde's eyes lit up when he heard the words, his greatest hobby in this life is smoking dry tobacco, he has never smoked the tobacco leaves that this nobleman smokes.
