Xia Wanniang looked at the things they bought. They had basically no use for the fabrics. They had looted a lot of them from the Xia family before, but there were so many families to give them as gifts, so the quantity was not enough.

Most people would give simple gifts, such as meat, a plate of five pungent vegetables, a purse, etc. This time, her family did not prepare any meat, but some more practical things.

Each family received a few feet of cotton cloth, which was not expensive, along with two bars of soap, a few toothbrushes they made themselves, and a small box of toothpaste powder.

Then she took out some candies from the space and wrapped some for each family, which could be considered a good New Year gift.

The gifts were wrapped with kraft paper and thin linen ropes and put aside. The only difference was that the village chief Liu Changqing's gift included two jars of wine.

Aunt Xiao also specifically told her to change the fabric into men's clothes, but she didn't tell her anything else.

Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Zimu: "Zimu, is he the only one in the village chief's family?"

Xiao Zimu nodded: "Well, it seems that the village chief's grandfather has never been married. He went to a private school when he was young, but he didn't pass the imperial examination."

"Why?" Xia Wanniang felt that if he took the imperial examination, he should be able to pass the exam to become a scholar, but it was hard to say whether he could pass further.

"I know this." Xiao Zilinzi said on the side.

Xia Wanniang turned to look at him: "Tell me."

Xiao Zilin: "Before he was about to take the imperial examination, he suddenly said he didn't want to take it anymore and wanted to go out for a walk. He was gone for several years. The village chief's parents were so angry that they fell ill, but no matter what they said, he just wanted to go out."

Xia Wanniang was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Xiao Zilin shook his head: "No one knows about this. It was only later when the village chief's grandfather, parents and mother became seriously ill that he came back and stayed by their side to take care of them. He never left."

Xia Wanniang: "Doesn't he have any other relatives?"

Xiao Zisen: "I heard from Fumu that he has two younger sisters, both of whom were married far away. After the village chief's parents died, they never came back."

Xia Wanniang was a little surprised: "Isn't he married?"

Xiao Zimu nodded: "No, there were matchmakers who proposed marriage to him before, but he always refused on the grounds that he had to take care of his parents. Later, he said that he had to observe mourning. Anyway, he refused with various excuses."

Xia Wanniang touched her chin after hearing this: This man doesn't look like someone who is interested in homosexuality. Is it because he has a physical illness or is there some other reason for not getting married?

"Mom, are these for them to give to those who are staying up all night?" Xiao Zilin looked at the packed things.

Xia Wanniang listened to his question and put Liu Changqing's matter behind her: "Yes, we will go to give them the New Year gifts after dinner."

Xiao Zisen thought for a moment and asked, "Mom, can we see fireworks during the New Year?"

Xia Wanniang saw the three children's expectant expressions and asked, "Do you want to see the fireworks?"

Xiao Zimu said seriously, "I don't really want to see it, I just heard it's very beautiful."

Xia Wanniang looked at the child helplessly. She stretched out her hands, pinched his little face and pulled it to the sides: "Why can't you be honest? Your eyes are full of anticipation, and you said you didn't want to see it. It's not cute at all."

Xiao Zilin and Xiao Zisen looked at their eldest brother's face which was stretched a little deformed, and smiled from behind, revealing two rows of small white teeth.

Xiao Zimu's face was red, maybe because he was pinched or because his lie was exposed. He reached out to pull Xia Wanniang's hand away, and his words were a little unclear: "Liang, Teng."

Xia Wanniang let go of his little face and rubbed his cheeks with both palms: "Tell me nicely, do you want to see it?"

Seeing that he wasn't looking at her, Xiao Zimu turned his face slightly to the side and said, "I want to."

Xia Wanniang smiled and hugged him in her arms: "You can tell me the truth in the future. I won't laugh at you. I'm not a worm in your stomach, but I don't know what you are thinking."

After she finished speaking, she hugged the other two children into her arms and said, "You too, you can tell me what you like and what you don't like. I will satisfy you within my ability. If it's beyond my ability, you can't blame me."

The three children hugged her waist and looked up at her: "Mom, what if we like a lot of things?"

Xia Wanniang looked at them with a smile: "Then your father and I can only do our best to satisfy you. If we cannot satisfy you, you will have to realize it by yourselves in the future."
