Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 564 Not too complacent

At this time, Xiaoman and Xiaoqiu also gave them gifts, two small single hats they sewed by themselves, two embroidered bibs, and two cute little bibs.

Everyone was chatting enthusiastically around the presents piled on the kang, when Wang Qiu moved another assembled rocking bed into the house, saying it was a gift from his grandma, and Xiao He could sleep as long as the bed was so big. Six years old.

"Wow, can I sleep too?" Wang Xiaoju immediately ran over, looking eagerly at the rocking bed, she is only two years old, can she sleep too?

"I'll let you sleep when my sister sleeps in the cradle next time." Wang Qiu couldn't bear to refuse his daughter, so she coaxed her loudly.

"Oh! My younger sister sleeps in the cradle now, I can sleep in the rocker, I can sleep in the rocker!" Wang Xiaoju immediately jumped up and down and cheered.

"I don't even sleep on the shaker, I have a kang, hum." Liu Zehua curled his lips aside, and said very coldly.

"Lie down, Xiaoju, and I'll shake you."

Wang Xiaomei looked aside and found that the rocking bed was similar to the cradle and could be pushed by hand, but it could not be stepped on like the cradle.But she was still very interested and wanted to try it on the spot.

Wang Xiaoju immediately looked up at her father.Wang Qiu had no choice but to hug her in.

"Sister, I'm ready to lie down!" Wang Xiaoju immediately lay down slipperily as soon as she got into the rocking bed.Wang Xiaomei pushed the wooden bar beside the bed, and found that it was similar to a cradle, but the feeling was very different.

She couldn't tell, but she could feel that the bed was bigger than the basket, and it didn't take much effort to push it, and she wasn't afraid that the cradle would flip over and catch her sister, so it was much safer.

"Sister, this bed is so flat, it doesn't shake like a cradle, it looks like it's about to fall over at any time." Wang Xiaoju lay on it and actively expressed her feelings about the trial.

"Mother, I also want to go in and lie down." Liu Zehua finally couldn't bear the cold expression, and said pitifully while reaching out to hold Liu Shi's hand.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiu immediately carried Wang Xiaoju out, turned around and carried Liu Zehua in.Wang Xiaoju said that she would push it, but she really pushed the bed to swing.

When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.This rocking bed looks similar to a cradle, but it is bigger, less labor-intensive, and safer to use.Especially children lying in it also feel safe and don't have to worry about flipping over.

Moreover, a bamboo bow is twisted at one end of the shaker, covered with a light pink gauze, and the bamboo bow is pulled from the fixed end to fasten this end, and the gauze forms a semicircular mosquito net.

This mosquito net is different from the short-covered mosquito net on the cradle. The space inside is larger, the field of view is wider, and the light is more breathable. Even a six-year-old child sleeping in it will not feel dull.

The rocking bed looks simple, but it is actually very practical. Seeing the women who also have children at home, they all moved their minds and asked about the price.

"This rocking bed is currently available for sale at a shop in the upper part of our town. The real price is 30 taels of silver. Fortunately, my daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Fang family, and the shop was opened by her uncle, and only charged the cost."

Old Mrs. Liu spoke with a look on her face.However, I have received more gifts recently, and my eyelids are not so shallow, so I can still hold back a little bit of face, and I am not too complacent.

Of course, Fang Xiaofu taught Fang Liushi what he said first, and asked her to give the shaker to grandma.Of course it is true, but the money was paid by Fang Xiaofu, and it is impossible to accept grandma's money.

But since ancient times, it has been a custom for grandma's family to give cradles to children when they are full moon, which is the same as giving silver locks, clothes and other things.

Therefore, not to mention Fang Xiaofu's cousin, even Fang Liu's aunt can't give it away without authorization, and can only give it to the grandmother's house.But I was afraid that the price would be too expensive to frighten my grandma's family, so I said so.

Of course, Fang Xu's charge was less than 100 taels of silver, which was enough to buy a few shakers.So it doesn't matter if the shaker counts as money or not.

The women in the room didn't say anything for a long time after listening to Mrs. Liu's words. Even if they calculated the cost price, it was the status of their daughters in Fang's family. How could such irrelevant people get such a price?

30 taels is half a year's ration for a rich farmer.

"Her aunt, this rocking bed is really good. I wonder if I can ask if it is cheaper? Give me more discounts or something?" An aunt of the Ji family asked hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, 30 taels is the market price. We are all relatives, so we can get a family price, right?" A daughter-in-law who also has a full stomach said with a smile.

So the rest of the women also opened their mouths one after another, asking Mrs. Fang Liu to help.Although they don't necessarily buy it, it's not bad to find out the reserve price.

Fang Liu didn't make any trouble at all, but said that he forgot to ask when he went to the town yesterday, and he didn't know when he would go back next time. There is a lot of work in this house, and it's not easy to go to town every day.

Seeing her saying this, everyone thought she was trying to evade, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little bad.

Seeing this, Fang Liu quickly laughed and said: "My third brother's home is in the town. Some of you may know the location. If you don't know, you can ask Fang's shop. If you want to buy it, go there yourself. Just say that it is a relative of my Liu family. , my third sibling is easy to talk to."

This random discount is worth a few taels of silver.But she wouldn't quote directly, after all, she didn't communicate with Fang Xu, so she said something vaguely.

Seeing this, everyone knew that there was nothing to ask, so they stopped the topic and started talking about those little clothes.

It is said that Xiaohe is a blessed person. There are so many beautiful clothes to wear in the full moon, and even autumn and winter are prepared. In the future, she will be well-clothed and well-fed.

Wang Qiu and Liu Yunhuan laughed happily when they heard this.This girl has caused unhappiness in the family since she was born. As parents, they certainly hope that everything will go well for her in the future and live a happy life.

Three uncles and grandmas came with their daughters-in-law in the Liu family's donkey cart, and only uncles and grandpas came with them. A few uncles did not come, and the family had a lot of farm work, so it would be a day's delay to come here.

Last time, those girls only came to a few young ones.A few years old is the age that is keen to visit relatives and join in the fun. The older ones have to do housework, or do some needlework to supplement the family income, and they are also very busy.

As soon as they came, the room became even more lively.Of course it was even more crowded, but the women of Ji's family were talking and laughing very lively, but they refused to leave.

Until the old grandma's house brought out some silver ornaments, eggs, hens, brown sugar and other gifts. Although it was not as rich as Liu's family, but as the old grandma's house, there was nothing wrong with it. They all went out.

Those people who find fault with important guests in other people's homes and all kinds of disgust and ridicule are actually looking for something to do for themselves. In this era, there are still very few such people.
