Chapter 200： not happy

Chapter 200 Can't be happy

This year, she didn't send any more fruits and vegetables. She prepared a set of pajamas, a cotton scarf, and a pair of gloves for the old lady. The colors were bright and there were flowers on them.

These are also prepared for the Yuan family and the old man, but the color is very dark.

For boys and girls, there are cute little animal graphics in beautiful colors, which make people love it.

Prepared a high-end customized drill clip for Ruyi, which is very beautiful and shiny.

What was prepared for Mayor Qian was a basket of sea crabs, as well as dry goods such as kelp.

Like sausages, shops sell them all, and it’s not rare, so I didn’t give them to him.

As for the Lu family, she thought about it and prepared it. Lu Sanniang didn't know how to do anything, so she prepared fruits, vegetables, sausage and bacon for her.

To Wang Zhifu, she also sent seafood products, so that the shopkeeper Niu would not always worry about not being able to sell them.

Actually, there are many southerners who live in the north. The seafood is delicious and tastes really good. The northerners must also love it.

It’s not that people come to Qiaoji Snack Shop to buy seafood, but they don’t sell as fast as other goods.

In previous years, on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, each family would send over their New Year’s goods.

This year, the Wang family also gave it away. There was no annual gift. They knew that the Qiao family had better food than the Wang family, so they sent the housekeeper to personally deliver a silver note of 100,000 taels.

The one hundred thousand taels is 20% of the Wang family’s business, the Jiaru’s is 150,000 taels, and the other half is 250,000 taels. The Wang family can earn so much in a year. ,really not bad.

Mayor Qian gave her all kinds of snacks from Qian's dim sum shop, and he also gave a lot.

Ruyi, Qin's family, and shopkeeper Tong all sent her New Year's gifts early, but Lu Sanniang's side remained silent for a long time.

Qiao Mai sighed, and sent the same return gift, and the Lu family also had a share.

She won't change just because Lu Sanniang has changed, she is still Qiao Mai, as long as she doesn't really turn her back, she will continue on her way.

After receiving the gift, the old lady was very happy. She tried it on in her pajamas at night, and it was really comfortable and warm. She put on her scarf and gloves, and went outside the door despite the dissuasion of her personal nurse.

I didn't feel a trace of cold, and the old man followed her example and tried everything.

"This overseas stuff is really so good?"

"That's right, why is it so good to look at other people's things?"

The old man's eyes flickered, and he said in his heart, huh, what a fart overseas, this might be something from the fairy family.

The two elderly people were very rare. Yuan Jiaqi touched the scarf in his pajamas, and the corners of his mouth reached to the base of his ears.

The children happily changed into pajamas at night and ran around.

After Ruyi received the hair accessory, it was bubbling beautifully on her hair. She knew how precious it was.

I heard people say that such hair accessories cost several thousand taels, or even tens of thousands of taels.

Sometimes when she sees Linger and Master wearing other hair, she is envious, but now that she has one too, how can she not be happy.

In short, the things Qiao Mai sent made everyone happy, but Lu Sanniang couldn't be happy.

She is caught in the middle, the eldest daughter is too capricious and hurts Qiu Mai's heart, how dare she accept the annual gift from Qiao's family, how dare she get money for nothing from Qiao Mai?

It wasn't until Qiao Mai sent the New Year's gift that she panickedly prepared the gift in return for someone to send it over. She was embarrassed and felt ashamed to go there.

This year, the old lady and the old man don't plan to go back to Fucheng, so they will celebrate the new year at Qiao's house.

Wang Zongsheng was so anxious that he brought his wife and children to pick him up in person. Relatives and friends came to visit the old man at home, but there was no one there when he arrived, which was too embarrassing.

A family of three forced the two elders back.

Before leaving, Qiao Maisai gave Mrs. Wang an exquisite box and asked her to go back and look at it.

Zizi's medicine, she also took a bottle away for him.

Seeing him again this time, I feel much better than last time. Not only is he well-behaved and sensible, but also his eyes are no longer dull, and become more agile.

Every time Mrs. Wang sees Qiao Mai, she has to say a lot of grateful words.

The family lost two elderly people, and lost the girl and woman beside them, so it was much quieter at once.

The weather outside is very good. It has been a whole winter until now, and the first light snow has fallen, and I have never seen snow again.

It's not just Qiao Mai who thinks it's abnormal, everyone is aware of it.

Not knowing whether the next disaster will be flood or drought, everyone is very worried.

But the year is over, but everyone is not very angry. Except for the few big households in the town, many people have started to hoard food secretly.

Some even dug holes in their own yards, poured water into them when they were free, and wanted to stockpile some water.

The sun was shining brightly. The children of Qiao’s family didn’t have to go to class any more. They rode their horses around the house when they had nothing to do. Linger played with them, very happy.

You can hear the joyful laughter of the children from outside.

Qiao Mai doesn't care about them, he can play however he wants, as long as he is happy.

She occasionally went to the vegetable field at the back, and followed the women to pick some vegetables in the field. After the old lady returned to Fucheng, she also helped the women to feed the poultry.

Eggs in winter, quail eggs are very easy to sell, and they can be sold out in a short time.

Although the year is not good, the business is still good.

This year is similar to previous years, except that the weather is so good, like spring, Qiao Mai allows the children to ride horses to play outside.

People in the town rarely see her children, and this appearance immediately became a bright spot.

The male baby is handsome and handsome, while the female baby is carved in pink and jade. Although the clothes are not the best, they still look very decent.

There are many vendors in the small town who want to make some money on the occasion of the New Year.

Children rode horses and passed in front of them. When the peddlers saw them, they shouted louder.

They have money in their pockets, so they can buy whatever they like.

What made Qiao Mai feel gratified was that the children had good hearts. When they saw those children from poor families, they would give them some of the things they bought.

When you meet a beggar, you will reward him with a few copper coins.

As soon as the Chinese New Year comes, Qiao’s porridge shed will be set up to help those who can’t eat.

The Qiao family is kind, and has always been well-known in the ten miles and eight towns.

It wasn't until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the town returned to normal, but the weather was mixed.

Fortunately, the flood last year seeped a lot of water into the ground, so the drought was temporarily invisible, and the water in the surrounding rivers did not drop.

People still work and rest as usual. On the 60 mu of land behind Qiao’s house, as soon as spring hits, the tenants start working in the field.

With the Qiao family as a good owner, they had a good life last year.

The land guarded by the river is very convenient for watering. The three families are busy in the field.

As soon as the weather warmed up, Qiao Mai began to ask the mother-in-law to pickle some eggs and quail eggs every day, and then pickle some pickles.

She is not doing it for her own family, but if something happens, she can provide these to the victims.

Especially food, the rooms in the two empty courtyards are full of flour, rice and various crops.

Be prepared and be prepared.

The days of March are like April. At noon, even wearing a thin jacket makes you sweat. Do you think the weather is normal?

The old lady and the others came back on February 2, because relatives came over there, so it was delayed for some time.

As soon as they came back, the house became lively. When the old man and the old lady were free, they took the children out for an outing, so the children showed their faces in front of the people more often.

The two old couples of the Yuan family and the Qiao family changed their camp after the shopkeeper Niu blew them away and prevented them from sitting outside the shop.

ran to the opposite side, and knew to bring a bench when they came. They sat here for a whole day, as if they were here to monitor Qiao's house.

When they saw Ling'er, the mouth-opening boss, especially the Qiao family, felt as if they had seen Tian Sanzhuang.

They are sure that this is definitely Tian Sanzhuang's own daughter, and definitely his flesh and blood.
