Chapter 80 Uncle's Gift

Chapter 80 Uncle's Gift

Chinese New Year is three days, the first day, the second day, the third day, and the tenth day is to visit relatives.

Xu Shi would have to give an extra gift if he went alone with them. He Xinghua's relative at the old house of the He family was He Xinghua, and she didn't come to He Jinyi's new house, she just came to ask He Jinyi to go to the old house for dinner.

He was the only one called, Zhao Shuangxi and the children didn't have a share, and He Jinyi couldn't do such a thing of eating alone, so he directly rejected He Xinghua's invitation.

Of Zhao Shuangxi's relatives, Third Sister Zhao would not bring gifts, even if Third Sister Zhao was willing, Old Madam Lu was also unwilling.So the fourth day to the tenth day was very clean, and He Jinyi had already gone to work in a restaurant on the eighth day.

One day, Zhao Shuangxi was sitting in the yard with a handful of melon seeds in her hand, and several children were sitting around her.

The stools placed in the yard are made of wooden stakes. They are cheap but stable enough for a person weighing two hundred catties to sit on. He Lanshan also sits on the wooden stakes and knocks sunflower seeds.

"Smelly sister, look, I've knocked out twenty melon seeds!"

Xu Shi was bored, He Qinmao even had a melon seed eating competition with He Lanshan.

First put the crushed melon seeds in a pile, and finally won the competition with He Lanshan, then poured a handful of melon seeds into his mouth, and chewed them deliciously.

"Mother, see if this is Uncle!" He Qinzheng pointed to the outside and said.

Zhao Shuangxi stood up as soon as he heard this, and this not-so-tall person walking from a distance was none other than Zhao Yao!
"Brother, why are you here? You didn't ask anyone to bring a message." Zhao Shuangxi shouted in surprise and ran away.

"Every family has gone to relatives, who will bring me a message?" Zhao Yao was carrying a huge pannier on his back, which almost broke his waist. Today he came alone, Mr. Xu Neither Zhao Xiaowu nor Zhao Xiaowu brought it.

Zhao Shuangxi was about to pick up his basket, but he stopped him, "It's very heavy, and I didn't take a few steps. I'll carry it into the house."

He Lanshan and the others stopped eating melon seeds, and stood up to welcome Zhao Yao. Seeing Zhao Yao unload the back basket was very heavy, He Lanshan looked at the back bag and asked, "Uncle, did you go to town? What did you buy?" .”

"I bought them in the town, and some of my own stuff." Zhao Yao wiped the sweat from his brow, and took out the things in the back basket.

A few pieces of Chinese cabbage, a pack of mulberry leaves, a piece of meat underneath, and an arm-length fat-headed fish, and a stack of paper, which is rice paper for writing.

Darling, this is not cheap, He Lanshan stuck out her tongue.

"Brother, doesn't our family grow Chinese cabbage?" Zhao Shuangxi looked at the three huge cabbages on the ground, and asked Zhao Yao's arm. Treat it as your own home.

Zhao Yao nodded, and smiled naively, "I found someone to exchange, you gave Xiao Wu so much money, how can I use it up, I folded it into a gift for you and gave it back."

"Brother, you really are!" Zhao Shuangxi shook her head helplessly, feeling both joy and sadness in her heart.

At this time, the fat aunt next door saw the excitement in the yard here, so she came in to have a look, "Oh, this is Xiaofeng's uncle, I haven't been here for many years, I don't know, I gave away so many things. "

"Not much, not much." Zhao Yao waved his hands restrainedly.

The smile on his face was even brighter, at least he didn't embarrass his sister this time.

Fat aunt is a lively person, when she sees someone passing by, she immediately yells the passer-by in, "Look, how polite is Xiaofeng's uncle, he is full of fish and meat, and he even gave him paper. Maybe it’s because they know that their children are going to school.”

"Hey." Zhao Yao scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

If it is said that the money is from my sister, I am afraid of embarrassing my sister, and if I say it is my own, it is a bit bragging.

He Lanshan saw his embarrassment, and pulled Zhao Yao into the room, "Fat aunt, you are talking to my mother, I'll pour some water for my uncle first, it's so far away, his mouth is dry. "

"Look at me, I can talk endlessly, Shuangxi, go greet the guests." Fat Aunt smiled and walked outside.

Zhao Shuangxi put the things away and took them into the house.

Seeing that He Lanshan really poured a bowl of hot water for Zhao Yao and was adding sugar to the bowl.

"Add two more spoonfuls, your uncle likes sweets."

"I don't like sweets, Lanshan keeps them for herself."

"I also said that you don't like sweets. I remember one year when you were sick and you couldn't eat black-faced steamed buns. Dad thought you couldn't do it. I went to the mountain to steal wild honey for you, and you were fine. Wild honey is the best, wild honey is so sweet." Zhao Shuangxi talked about the past while putting things away.

Thinking of the past, Zhao Yao was also a little dazed, and said with a sad smile: "What happened to you when you were bitten by wild bees, and you were beaten by your stepmother."

While he was talking, He Lanshan quickly scooped up three spoonfuls of sugar.

Zhao Shuangxi packed up her things and came over to sit next to Zhao Yao. She asked, "Brother, you came to my place, did you go to Sanmei's place too?"

"That's right. Thinking about how many years I haven't seen you, I feel really sorry as an older brother." Zhao Yao said sincerely.

"Then uncle, what did you give?" He Lanshan asked curiously.

"It's also a fish, a piece of meat, a little smaller than yours." Zhao Yao said.

After all, he didn't have much money, and the money for this gift was Zhao Shuangxi's lucky money for Zhao Xiaowu, so it was reasonable to give more to He Jinyi's family.

Zhao Shuangxi guessed: "Third sister's mother-in-law is very difficult to deal with. I'm afraid she won't like it if you give me this little thing. Now Sanmei can't do it either. Listening to her mother-in-law, she doesn't think of us as sweethearts anymore. .”

"Hey." Zhao Yao just sighed, and the old lady Lu was afraid that he would stay for dinner, so she said that something was going on at home, and he didn't have the eyesight to see, so she left.

When it was time for dinner, Brother He Qinfeng spontaneously went to the woods to dig bamboo shoots. It was not spring yet, and the bamboo shoots hadn't even sprouted yet. The taste of winter bamboo shoots was stronger than that of spring bamboo shoots. The fried bamboo shoots were very fragrant.

Zhao Yao refused to stay after dinner, so Zhao Shuangxi said that he would not go to his house to pay New Year's greetings, and packed him another ten catties of flour, and a small jar of shredded plums, vegetables and bamboo shoots made by He Lanshan. It's a good meal.

There is also the bamboo stick bone I just bought two days ago, and I said that I made soup for Zhao Xiaowu to drink, and I can jump up.

It was hard for Zhao Yao to refuse. In this life, he hoped that his son would grow up to be an indomitable man, and not be as short as he was, making people laugh when he went out.

After Zhao Yao left, the brothers and sisters got together to study the paper Zhao Yao sent.

"This is paper. It's the same as our blackboard. It's for writing." He Qinmao was very curious, and touched the paper with his hands.

He had seen paper before. Both He Qinzheng and He Qinhua had written on paper, but Mrs. He wouldn't let him read it, as if she was afraid that he would have thoughts that he shouldn't have. Now that he could touch it, He Maoqin touched it over and over again.

Suddenly, with a sound of "tearing", a piece of rice paper was torn wide open under his hands.

The three brothers were all stunned, and He Qinzheng frowned and said, "Maomao, look at the good deeds you have done."

He Qinfeng also looked at the rice paper distressedly, and reached out to touch it, but the torn rice paper could no longer return to its original appearance. As the elder brother did not take good care of the younger brother, he also blamed himself, "Why? Done!"

"It's okay, it's okay, just let mother make a little rice paste and stick it on later, it won't affect the writing." He Lanshan said in a coaxing tone, seeing that He Qinmao was about to cry.

Although the family can afford meat now, the three children feel that going to school is still an extravagant wish. Although none of them mentioned going to school, He Lanshan knew that they must be very eager.

Originally, he wanted to send his two elder brothers to study, but now that He Maoqin is eight years old, and also at the school age, he must try to persuade Zhao Shuangxi to send them both to study.
