Chapter 200: Congrats
Boss Lu and Old Master Feng accompanied the guests in person. The people in the mountains were forthright and straight-tempered. After a few bowls of wine, the steward asked about the relationship between the owner and this remote mountain with little effort.

He was smart enough not to ask any more questions, quickly got himself drunk, and thoroughly experienced the enthusiasm and simplicity of the people in the mountains.

The men of Old Xiongling returned to the mountain, smelling of alcohol, "showing off their might", only to be grabbed by their mother-in-law and yelled happily.

It turned out that in the gift box that year, they thought it was just some snacks, tea or local products, but they didn't expect it to be unexpectedly rich.

The four pieces of silk and satin at the bottom of the press box are different in bright colors or elegant styles, which is obviously because of the different ages and preferences of the family. On top of the cloth are four wooden boxes, each with four types, a total of sixteen colors of snacks.It is a very dignified thing to take out a box alone to give a gift in the first month.

On the top of the snack box are four rattan boxes, one box of rouge and gouache, one box of embroidery thread, one box of sixteen pieces of sterling silver jewelry, and one box of the four treasures of the study.

It is simply food, drink, clothing, everything is considered, and there is everything.

Men, women and children in every household are crazy with joy, the women love the silk and satin material, the old people love the dim sum and tea, the children love the four treasures of the study, of course the daughters just hugged the jewelry box and did not let go, which made the old lady laugh and scold.

Seeing this, the men also smiled heartily, regretting that they should have had two more jars with those in charge just now.

People's hearts have always been fleshy. If you accept someone's kindness, you will naturally pay back a hundred times.

So the women in every household spread out, two rabbits that were smoked at home, two little stupid chickens that were slaughtered in the snowdrifts, and two pieces of good fur from the bottom of the box...

On the second day, when the stewards and employees were holding big bowls to drink porridge, and carefully stretched out their chopsticks to pick up some dazzling green spinach with nuts, every household arrived with gifts in return.

The sledges that had been emptied were quickly refilled, and the stewards and buddies stared in shock.

The owner said it when he ordered, and what they gave this time was a gift in return.That is to say, the owner has already received the New Year gift from Old Xiongling.Now that they bring so many back, they will be reprimanded.

So, they hurriedly gave way, but the folks in Laoxiongling would not agree.

Between pushing and giving, there was a stalemate.

On the contrary, Xiaomi heard the news, rushed over, and quickly smoothed things over, "Uncles and aunts, our family has given Brother Feng a New Year's gift before, and this time he is returning the gift. But it's not good to accept our things again! Besides He said that he has a big business and travels north and south, and he collects these mountain goods, which may not be easy to dispose of. Why don't we take everything home and eat as we like. When he comes, let's hunt for fresh ones. Wouldn't it be better?"

"How can it work? The annual gift you sent doesn't include everyone's. Now that Mr. Feng has received such a generous gift, if we don't send something back, wouldn't that be an advantage!"

The upright villagers all shook their heads, unwilling to take back the things.It made Xiaomi laugh, "Uncle, what he said is wrong. Our Laoxiongling eighteen families are one, and the annual gift from my family, of course, represents our entire Laoxiongling. If uncle still feels that he has treated Brother Feng badly, wait When will he come, just treat him to a good wild meal alone."

What did the villagers want to say, but Old Master Feng, who had been listening with a smile on his face, said, "Okay, let's listen to Xiaomi. It was a good intention for us to send mountain goods, but it is not good to cause Mr. Feng trouble." It’s gone. Besides, it’s not a day when we don’t get together, let’s make up for it when we have a chance in the future.”

Old Master Feng's prestige is one of the best in the village, and everyone nodded quickly.

The steward and the fellows finally let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly bid farewell to everyone.

Xiaomi figured that if he was in charge, he would get five taels of money, and if he was a buddy, he would get three taels of reward. So he just put a basket of steamed white flour steamed buns on the sledge and sent them to make dry food on the road.

The cavalry drove lightly and walked out of Laoxiong Ridge, and were quickly submerged in the wind and snow.

Everyone picked up their brooms and began to clean up the mountain road that was mostly hidden.Even if the mountain road will be submerged again by wind and snow soon, life is a matter of heart!
You can be poor, you can be short of food and clothing, but your home can't be messy, and you can't be lazy!

Daku and a dozen other prairie people had already obtained the long knife made by Uncle Liu. In this weather, they only wore an undershirt and cut through the cold wind with one knife.

I also wore the same clothes on the first day of junior high school, and my forehead was vaguely covered with sweat beads.Gao Ren had candied haws in his mouth, and he didn't know which naughty boy snatched it from him.

From time to time, he walked in the line, kicking one, slapping the other, cursing, "Idiots, no wonder you were sold as slaves! Apart from strength, you have nothing else to do!"

"Hands up, chopping down is not going to kill my own feet! If you want to die, go back to the grassland. If you die here, you have to help Xiaomi to set up the coffin 1"

Everyone, including the first day of junior high school, hated their teeth so much, but their skills were not as good as others. They fought countless times in group fights, but Gao Ren didn't hurt a single hair.Furthermore, although Gao Ren's mouth is as sharp as a knife, he never hides his secrets when he teaches them. It's only been a month, and their life-saving skills have improved a lot.

Xiaomi looked at it from a distance for a while, and seeing Gao Ren grinning from the beating, he couldn't help laughing.It's a pity that Aunt Han coughed and coughed again, so she had to go back to the mountain.In the original world, girls who wear bellybands and take to the streets are all caught, let alone shirtless men, but here is Dayuan, unmarried women, it is rude to look at men in sweatshirts...

Mrs. Tie was walking around in the yard, when she saw Xiaomi came back, she asked, "Did you take the letter with you?"

"Ah, godmother, you still can't trust me with such a trivial matter?"

Xiaomi stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Tie's arm to act coquettishly. Feeling bored at home, she said, "The letter has been entrusted to the Feng family, and he promised to deliver it to the place you designated. Also, godmother, at home There is still a shortage of New Year's goods, why don't we go to the city today?"

Mrs. Tie's heart was warm and soft when she hugged her, and she wished she could bring all the best things in the world right away, just to change her daughter's smiling face, let alone such a small request.

Just when she was about to agree, Aunt Liu suddenly ran in, "Xiaomi, it's amazing!"

"Auntie, what is it that scares you like this?"

Xiaomi subconsciously straightened up, causing Madam Tie to ask, "Speak slowly if you have something to say, the sky won't fall!"

Aunt Liu felt a little exaggerated, and said with a sarcastic smile, "Well, it's not a big deal, it's just...a matchmaker came to the door!"

"Matchmaker?"

Xiaomi asked casually, "Could it be that my second brother proposed three marriages? This is not a good time..."

"No, it's you!" Aunt Liu was anxious, "The matchmaker is Wang Kuaizui, who is very famous around here. I originally wanted to find her to find a good wife for Xiaodao. I didn't want her to come to the door just now. I want to congratulate you. Isn't that just a marriage proposal for you?"

"I?"

Xiaomi frowned, and when she was about to speak again, Mrs. Tie patted her hand and stopped her, "You don't need to pay attention to this matter. A girl from a good family has no reason to let outsiders meet casually, even a matchmaker No. It’s fine if your mother wasn’t here before, but you have to set up the rules in the future. I’m the one in charge of this matter today, so you can go about it yourself.”

"Oh, good, godmother." Xiaomi stuck out her tongue, fearing that Mrs. Tie would beat Aunt Liu again, she hurriedly dragged her into the house, but Aunt Liu shook her head, "Madam is right, it is time to establish rules at home. We women, of course, love you dearly. No matter how much work you do, you don’t feel tired. But you really don’t understand some rules and etiquette. You will definitely not marry into a small family in the future. Learn to set rules early, so as to save others Bullied."

While talking, she walked up to Mrs. Tie and saluted, "Thank you Madam for teaching Xiaomi, our old Xiongling folks are looking forward to her well."

Mrs. Tie was slightly moved, helped her up with her own hands, and said seriously, "Don't worry, she is my daughter, no one can bully her."

Feng Niang also smiled and said, "There is still a matchmaker at the bottom of the mountain waiting for the correct answer. Let's go with Madam to see, which young man has taken a fancy to our girl?"

"Go and have a look."

The three talked and laughed, and went down the mountain. Xiaomi held on to the door frame and watched their backs go out the second door. Suddenly, he felt that a golden hoop was covering his head at some point, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to do somersaults in the future...

In the concierge at the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Wang, who was praised as the fastest-talking person by ten miles and eight villages, looked inside and outside without a trace while drinking tea. A key number.

Although I heard that Old Xiongling is living a good life, and every household grows green house vegetables that are making money every day, but the previous rumors that Old Xiongling is poor and barbaric are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Looking at it now, the young people wandering outside the door are all brand-new jackets and trousers, and furry leather waistcoats.Occasionally, a little daughter-in-law who came in to deliver tea and snacks, the silver hairpin on her head and the silver bracelet on her hand were all very dazzling.Even the naughty boys cleaned up neatly, how could they look dirty like rivers of snot running down the noses of those children in other villages.

These all show how prosperous and prosperous the life of Laoxiongling was.

She was secretly a little excited, wishing to give herself two slaps, such a good place, I don't know how many good marriages are waiting for her, and it is too neglectful to come to the door today.This was early, if she was a few days later and was taken over by other colleagues, she would have no tears to cry.

Just as he was pondering, the door was pushed open from the outside with a "squeak", and then a proud old woman walked in.

The old woman wore an eight-point new sapphire blue Liufu welcoming door group flower dark pattern coat, with a honey-colored skirt lining the bottom, and a black brocade cape with eight clusters of wishful flowers on the outside. The silver hairpin was also shiny on the hands and ears, but the arrogance and stability between the eyebrows and eyes made Mrs. Wang stand up subconsciously and salute respectfully.
