Chapter 129 Sending New Year Gifts (Fourth Update)

The few days before the Chinese New Year are basically the busiest time, busy with cleaning, preparing New Year's goods, New Year's gifts, and worship-related things.Generally speaking, Su Yueling should be the head of the Yuan family's mistress, but she herself didn't want to take care of it, so she handed it all over to Yuan Baoshu, expressing that she should not bother her with these mundane matters.

Yuan Baoshu only felt that her sister-in-law wanted to give her more opportunities to exercise, and she felt more and more grateful.Other families would be beaten to death for this housekeeping power, but her family is good, and the sister-in-law has all the power to her.

However, the Yuan family now has a lot of servants, and Hu Zhen, a person who used to stay in the big family's house, is on the side to give advice. When.

During this process, Su Yueling is naturally the most leisurely, she only needs to practice calligraphy and worry about her dressing up tomorrow.

After a busy day, Yuan Baoshu looked at the list and asked, "Have you delivered the New Year's gift to Uncle's family?"

The uncle's family she mentioned refers to her sister-in-law's uncle, Su Dashan's family.

If Yuan Baoshu didn't like their family very much in the past, she still doesn't like her now.But the experience during this period let her know that Su Dashan's family is on the bright side at this time, and they will naturally help suppress Su Yuewei.

And for the Yuan family, what was given to Su Dashan's family was just leaking through the fingers.

"Not yet. In the morning, the uncle said to add another Duan inkstone." Dongyue said.

Yuan Baoshu knew that this Duan inkstone should be prepared for her sister-in-law's cousin.She checked the New Year ceremony and asked, "How many fish do we have?"

Dongyue went to the kitchen to ask, and came back soon, "There are eight buckets of fish, three buckets of shrimp, and six hares, and each one is very fat."

These were sent by other villagers. There is a river near Lushan Village, and the villagers often go to catch it. There is no shortage of fish and shrimp during the Chinese New Year.In addition to these two, if they went into the mountains and hunted game, they would also send some to Yuan's house.

This is a way for them to express their gratitude. If the Yuan family refuses to accept it, they will feel uneasy.It's just that this family gives a little, and that one gives a little, so the Yuan family really has a lot of these things, and they can't finish it.

Yuan Baoshu thought for a while and said, "Add four fish and a hare, let the second brother deliver them in person." In addition to those New Year's gifts prepared earlier, there are quite a lot of New Year's gifts.

Anyway, Su Dashan is also the closest relative of his sister-in-law.It’s okay to distribute the unfinished food to their families.

Yuan Suifeng himself liked to run outside, so he immediately took over the job.

……

When Yuan Suifeng arrived at Su Dashan's house, Su Yuewei also went to give her natal family a new year gift in person.

Su Dashan's family bought a new house in the city with the New Year gift given by Wu's family, and used the rest to buy land, so they could make some money every year.Except for Su Dashan becoming an eunuch, the life of the Su family looks good this year.

Even Su Liao muttered in his heart, thinking that after her husband became a eunuch, there would be no harm other than making her a widow.Anyway, now he talks to her much more gently than before.

After the days became more comfortable, the original meanness on Su Liao's face disappeared a bit.

When seeing Su Yuewei's daughter, Su Liao raised her eyebrows, "Wei'er, you still know that you want to come to see us. I thought you had forgotten that we are a father and mother."

Ever since they broke up with the Wu family, Wei'er has almost never visited the door.When she occasionally went to Lushan Village to deliver things to Yue Ling, she also heard about how she raised her sister-in-law at home and taught her needlework carefully.

Su Liao could not help thinking that this daughter was raised for nothing.Especially with Yueling for comparison... Ren Yueling gets food delivered every three days.

Su Yuewei felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing the yin and yang words.

She is now struggling in Zhang's family. Not only does her natal family not help her, they only want to hold her back and pierce her heart.When she had a miscarriage some time ago, her mother refused to even look at her, but she had time to deliver food to Su Yueling.

If it wasn't for worrying that others would say that she was unfilial, Su Yuewei wouldn't even want to come to her door today.

She held it back for a while, not because she was out of breath, but when she spoke, she brought out some.

"Who does Mother think she will see? Su Yueling? Do you think she really wants to be filial to you? She just wants to use you to pierce my heart."

"Now her goal has been achieved, and she has successfully used you to ruin my reputation. Do you think she is still talking to you now? We are a family. Even if we quarrel, we will break the bones and connect the tendons."

"These are the New Year's gifts I specially prepared for you."

"These two catties of flour and half a catty of mutton can be used to make mutton dumplings, just for Chinese New Year. I personally went to catch this fish in the river..." She said with a bit of grievance in her tone, "My hand is in the ice water. It has been soaked for a long time, and frostbite is about to develop. This piece of sackcloth is just right for Tianbao to wear new clothes."

Su Liaoshi looked at these things and pouted disapprovingly.When she didn't know, her sister told her that Yue Wei went to the city every three days to cut a catty of meat for Zhang's family and go back.

When I went to the city to buy new year's goods the day before yesterday, I even bought a bolt of silk, which cost a full three taels, and even bought two taels of white sugar.She didn't ask her to give Tianbao a few feet of silk cloth to make clothes, but she should give cotton cloth anyway.

In the end, she actually used sackcloth to get rid of it?If my son really wears this to school, he doesn't know how he will be laughed at.Fortunately, she still had the silk and satin that the Wu family had brought as an apology, otherwise, if she relied on the New Year gift from this daughter, her son would be ashamed to pay his husband New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year.

Su Liao's face immediately pulled down, "No need, how can a family like us use the cloth saved by you, a talented lady? You should take it back and make clothes yourself."

Su Yuewei felt more and more uncomfortable after hearing this.What happened to the sackcloth?As a talented lady, she also wears linen on weekdays.My younger brother is not yet a child.If it wasn't because Cheng Wang had won the prize of a scholar, the gift given too lightly would have disgraced him as a scholar. Su Yuewei was unwilling to spend her own money for this annual gift. Who knew that her mother didn't think it was enough, she was simply greedy. .

"Mother, the most important thing for my brother in school is to study, not to compare with others. It would be nice to have new clothes to wear."

Zhang Chengwang was not willing to give her extra money except for the family, and Su Yuewei used all the money she had earned through hard work to honor her mother's family.She looked haggard in the bronze mirror, and was about to use the money from selling handkerchiefs to buy face cream, so she was naturally unwilling to spend it on her natal family.

"Could it be that you still expect Su Yueling to give you a New Year's gift? She hasn't given it yet, but the village has given it around. It can be seen that it's just superficial affection with you, and it's all pretended."

"Don't count on her, I'm your daughter."

Su Liao's face was dark, and he was about to refute, when he heard a knock on the door.

Yuan Suifeng's clear and youthful voice came through the door, very penetrating.

"Uncle, open the door for me, I'm here to give the New Year gift."
