Chapter 443： A gift that cannot be overstated!

Chapter 443 A gift that cannot be rejected!

Standing outside the door is a middle-aged steward in a blue coat and cap, who looks very respectable.

Seeing someone coming forward, the middle-aged steward raised his hands and asked, "Excuse me, is this Zhongshan Uncle's Mansion?"

Huiniang and others are used to walking around the Li family, so they don’t think the Li family is special. After all, they get along so well and are so close.

Hearing the account ban so suddenly, she was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Huiniang quickly responded: "Yes, this is the Li family."

“Please tell me, sister-in-law, that I am the steward of the Guo family, and I am here to deliver congratulatory gifts.” The middle-aged steward said very politely.

Of course Huiniang and others couldn't make things difficult for him, so they quickly called Mrs. Li.

At this time, Li Zhensheng, Li Laoer and others were not here, so Jiaren accompanied his grandma to meet the guests.

The middle-aged steward was asked to drink tea in the main room. He didn't seem surprised that the Li family's cousin's house was so simple. On the contrary, he was very respectful.

It turned out to be Mr. Guo. He heard that the Li family's grandchildren were getting married, so he specially sent a congratulatory gift.

The gift is not that expensive. It is just an uncommon cookbook, a set of the four treasures of the study, two pieces of ingredients, and two boxes of snacks.

It can be said that such preparations can be seen as careful preparation.

Old Mrs. Li actually didn't want to accept the congratulatory gift from the Guo family, after all, it was too unpleasant in the first place.

But the rules for holding happy events do not include gifts and guests, otherwise it will be unlucky.

She thought for a while and said, "How are Mr. Guo and Xiao Wenhao in good health? If they are not busy, please come to our house for a wedding drink in a few days."

The middle-aged steward quickly responded with a smile, "Thank you, madam, but our old man is feeling a little unwell, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come. But Master Wenhao's academy is on holiday, and when the time comes, I will definitely come to the young master's house for a wedding banquet."

Old Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

It’s good that Mr. Guo is not here. Guo Wenhao is also a poor child. He has not done any harm to the Li family. On the contrary, he plays well with Jiayin.

He has also studied in the academy now. It would be good if he came over and let his grandsons entertain him and talk more about the academy.

After a few more gossips, the middle-aged manager took his leave.

Jiayin and several brothers were called out to eat egg custard. Jiayin was also a little surprised to hear that the Guo family sent congratulatory gifts.

But if you think about it carefully, with the current status of the Li family, the Guo family is only flattering and should not have the courage to make calculations.

So, she ate it with the tender and smooth custard...

Earlier, there was only one child, Jiayin, at home, and Mrs. Li found it too lonely. Sometimes she even felt that when she sighed, she could hear the echo in the house.

But the children really came back, and she got a headache again from the noise.

Jiaren is okay. He studies whenever he has free time and is very quiet.

Jia Huan was busy because she was getting married. Occasionally she would blush and hide without saying anything when teased.

But the remaining boys, led by Jia Yi and carrying Liu Yang, as well as Jia An, Jia Xi, Brother Li and Brother Mao, almost tore down the roof of the house.

Go to the valley to soak in the hot springs and have a water fight.

Go to the mountains to dig out bird eggs, and trap rabbits and pheasants.

They even cut open the frozen river surface and lay on it to fish.

As a result, no fish were caught, and because the river was filled with hot springs, it was not so frozen, so they all fell in.

Fortunately, the river water was not deep, but it was enough to soak their jackets and trousers. When the north wind blew, the coats and pants of the six boys were frozen and stiff, not like popsicles!

At this moment, they were stripped of their clothes and pants, wrapped in blankets and sat on the edge of the big kang, sneezing from time to time.

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she really wanted to find the pipe pot and knock them all over the head!

Tao Hongying cooked **** soup, one bowl per person, and poured it down quickly for the boys.

Jiayin hugged the jar of preserves and followed her mother with a smile.

The boys drank the **** soup and wrinkled their noses because of the spicy taste. Then they opened their mouths and waited like baby birds for their sister to feed them.

Jiayin was evil-minded, so she pinched a piece of candied fruit and put it to her brothers' mouths, then suddenly took it away, causing the brothers to stretch their necks and scream, but they didn't dare to let go and grab it.

Because they were all naked, and they were all gone when the quilt fell.

Jiayin laughed so hard that she wanted to roll on the bed, but her mother slapped her in the face and said angrily: "Okay, don't make trouble with your brothers. Give them some candied fruits quickly, and you can hide in the east room, be careful they spread the cold." for you."

Good news sticks out his tongue and quickly feeds him.

The boys drank **** soup to sweat, ate candied fruits, and felt drowsy while wrapped in big quilts.

Old Mrs. Li was cursing, but she actually felt more distressed. After finishing her work, she pulled the quilt for this one and stuffed a pillow for that one, and then she took her granddaughter out.

It happened that Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru brought Sanshu Wu and his family back from Luo'an.

Zhao Yuru was startled when she heard that the children had fallen into the water. She ran to the house and saw that the boys were sleeping with their bare legs exposed.

She was also very angry and funny. She said to her mother-in-law: "I'm not talking about how many Jia An and Jia Huan have. I'm just talking about Jia Yi and Liu Yang. Tong Jia Huan is only one or two years apart. They should be looking at each other's wives in other people's homes. But they actually He still gets into trouble and plays around all day long.”

"Isn't it?" Old Mrs. Li was also amused, "I see, when it comes to having a grandson, we still have to rely on family happiness. If we count on a few of them, I'm afraid we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!"

It’s rare for a big family to get together, so of course they have to make something delicious...

That night, the Li family’s dining table was almost crushed.

Jiayin was also happy that her third uncle, her mother, and her brothers were back, so she contributed a lot of good things, not to mention vegetables and fruits, and she even took out a large piece of beef from the refrigerator in the small courtyard.

Tao Hongying cut two radishes and stewed them. When they came out of the pot, she sprinkled some chopped coriander on them. The boys drank the soup with water and sweated from the heat.

They slept on the hot bed all afternoon, and when they got up they were alive and kicking.

Let alone the wind and cold, there is no congestion at all. I have to admire him. This silly boy has a lot of firepower.

Doctor Zhang and Uncle Zhao were also invited over, as were Li Yong and Hui Niang, Liu Biaotou and his wife, the village elders, and Aunt Wu San's family. They came and joined together, and the two tables were almost crowded. Risked.

But no one disliked it, but the smiles on their faces couldn't stop at all.

To live life, it’s fun to be lively and lively.

Especially Uncle Zhao, as they are older, what they like most is that there are so many people and it’s so lively.

It's like watching the children making trouble. They are several years younger and full of strength.

Not only is the food delicious, but the strong wine is also more intoxicating...

In a blink of an eye, the Peng family would have someone come to deliver wood utensils and make the bed the next day.

The night before, the family had to prepare food for the guests. Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru lit oil lamps, and took Grandma He, Shuiyun, Shuiling and Dongmei to work in the kitchen.

Zhao Yuru felt sorry and said, "When the family reunion is over, I will ask him to cook a table of delicious dishes to thank you. Everyone has been tired for his marriage."

Tao Hongying said with a smile: "No matter what my sister-in-law said, you took care of Jia'an as if she were your own son. I am busy with Jia'an, and I am as happy as my own son getting a wife!"
