Chapter 560 Receiving and giving gifts is all about the world
"Daughter-in-law, listen to my explanation!" Wu Yuan said hastily.
"Explain what explanation? Do you really have something to do?" Yang Luoyan spoke quickly, slapping and punching, without giving people a chance to think.
So much so that Wu Yuan said almost reflexively: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with it, I don't need to explain."
"That's it! Put the duck in the pen. I'm off."
"Daughter-in-law, why did you leave?"
As soon as Wu Yuan asked for the exit, the silver Santana drove to his door.
Yang Luoyan stretched out his hand to open the car door and said, "Go to the county to buy something. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Don't you have to give it to your father's house, master's house, fifth master's house, and third sister's house?"
While speaking, Wu Yuan untied the ropes on the legs of the two ducks, threw them directly into the pigpen and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Yang Luoyan closed the door with a bang, rolled down the car window and said, "No, you can rest at home, I'll go back as soon as I go."
Watching the silver Santana go away, Wu Yuan walked into the house.
Having a daughter-in-law who is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat is peace of mind. The big and small things in the family, the relationship between people, are all clear.
Don't bother at all.
In the living room of the small building, tobacco and alcohol were placed all over the floor.
It seems that during this morning's work, there are not many people who give gifts.
The family's tobacco and alcohol reserves, chicken, duck and fish have increased again.
Looking at it this way, there is actually no need to buy anything else. Just mess up the gifts at home, match them up, and give them away.
It not only avoids occupying space at home, but also avoids endless food at home, causing waste.
It's a pity that the daughter-in-law is a principled person.
She didn't want to pass on the gifts from the juniors to the elders.
Filial piety, the picture is a heart.
Including choosing with heart and preparing with heart.
In addition, the expenses in various aspects of the family are relatively high now. Cigarettes, drinks, chicken, duck and fish are all consumables, and they can be stored so that they will not be wasted due to expiration.
While thinking about it, Wu Yuan seemed to hear someone talking at the door.
Looking up, she saw that the auntie was standing at the door, holding two silver carp in her hand.
"Auntie, would you come in and sit?" Wu Yuan stepped aside and said, "Don't worry, Rhubarb doesn't bite, and it's on a leash."
The acting aunt waved her hands again and again: "I won't sit still, the holiday is coming soon, and I will bring two fish for the children to try."
Wu Yuan greeted him, but he didn't answer: "Aunt Dai, how many years have we been neighbors? What's the point? Besides, we don't have many silver carp here. Are you specially raising them in your fish pond? It would be nice to sell it for money."
The acting aunt directly stuffed the two fishes tied with the straw into Wu Yuan's hands and said, "Hurry up and take them! The price is not bad for these two."
Wu Yuan had no choice but to continue: "Why don't I buy it for my aunt, so it's okay for the head office?"
"Don't, don't, don't!" After the auntie finished speaking, she lifted her foot and slipped away, saying, "By the way, if you want reed leaves at your house, I have them by the fish pond, so you don't have to go too far to find them."
"Hey, good."
The weather is dry this year, and the drought is like this. The general river ditches have already been almost dry, and even the reeds are not as common as in previous years. If you want to find bigger reed leaves to make zongzi, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.
With the reminder from the acting aunt, it will take no effort at all.
Walking back to the yard, Wu Yuan put two silver carp into the basin and filled it with water.
With this amount, a pair might weigh six to seven catties.
Slice the fish body into fillets to make boiled fish; keep the fish head, and make another chopped pepper fish head.
One fish, two meals, the best of both worlds.
Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Wu Yuan went back to the garage to get the sickle, greeted Liu Hui who was in the living room with the child, and went out with a straw hat.
The sun is getting hotter and hotter.
He had a pretty fair face, he remembered it clearly.
Walking past the neighbor Xiao’s house, there seemed to be no one in the house, only the dog in the yard was barking.
In this way, we went all the way to the southeast corner of the village-run primary school.
Now the school’s courtyard walls are all built up, and through the courtyard walls, only the roof beams of the classrooms can be roughly seen.
Instead, the sound of banging and tapping from inside came intermittently.
Wu Yuan quietly turned left along the perimeter of the courtyard wall, walked a few steps, and arrived at the fish pond of the aunt's house.
There is a simple shed beside the fish pond, and some worthless tools are placed in it.
The south bank of the fish pond, near the East-West Crossroad, is covered with reeds as tall as a person.
Under the scorching sun, it still glows with intoxicating greenery.
Sure enough, relying on water, it grows well.
Wu Yuan approached with a sickle, and was surprised by the little bird.
At this time, Wu Yuan noticed that there were many bird nests in the reeds.
In previous lives, there were many people who went to this kind of reeds to dig out bird eggs.
But right now, he lost the interest. Even the reed leaves are picked and picked, trying not to damage the home environment of the birds.
Beating four or five catties of reed leaves in one go, Wu Yuan thought it would be enough, so he used the longest reed leaf and tied it in a knot, then put away the sickle and walked back.
On the way back, I accidentally found a clump of wild wormwood.
So hands up and down, and there is also wormwood for the festival.
And there are so many, whether it is hanging on the door, boiling water for the child to bathe, boiled eggs, etc., it is more than enough.
Entered the house, put down the sickle, fetched a basin of water, soaked the reed leaves in it, and kept it there for two days without any problem.
Before lunch.
Daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan left and returned, the trunk was full.
There are not only various candy chocolates, but also newly added Huazi and Moutai.
Wu Yuan was a little stunned when he saw it, but he didn't say much in front of Ma Mingchao.
But when all the presents were unloaded, Yang Luoyan non-stop divided the presents from house to house one by one.
Wu Yuan saw that there was still a lot of tobacco and alcohol left.
As a result, the daughter-in-law said that it was a stock for the family.
Receiving and giving gifts like this is really a festive atmosphere.
After the family had lunch, Yang Luoyan soaked the glutinous rice first, and even soaked the red beans for making red bean paste.
Only then did they put all the Dragon Boat Festival gifts of several companies in the car, and urged Wu Yuan to drive out.
In the past, Ma Mingchao drove the car, and Yang Luoyan had long been used to sitting with his heart at ease.
It was the first time she got in a car driven by her man, even though she knew that Wu Yuan had that little notebook, Yang Luoyan's heart went straight to her throat.
Originally giving gifts is a happy thing, but please don’t let anything happen to you.
So as soon as Wu Yuan got in the car, put on his seat belt, pulled the handbrake, stepped on the clutch, shifted the gear to the start, Yang Luoyan stared at it without blinking.
As a result, she was confused.
This smooth operation is nothing more than a veteran driver like Ma Mingchao.
He kicked the accelerator and went back to his mother's house. The old party secretary was indeed not at home. Yang Luoyan opened the door with his own key, put his things away, and called the village department with his home phone.
Then I went to the homes of Fourth Master and Fifth Master non-stop, and both Shi Niang and Wu Niang happened to be at home.
After a push and pull technique, fortunately, it was sent out smoothly.
It’s only 6k today, and my eyes are a bit blurry looking at the computer screen, so let me take it easy.
