Seeing the nervous father and daughter, Wang smiled. She always felt that they were making a big deal out of nothing. On the day Xiaomi was born, she went to work in the fields. "It's just a baby, why is it so precious?"

"Mom, you're pregnant, so it's always better to be careful. Look, I've prepared so many clothes for my brothers, are they enough?"

Guan soaked dozens of baby clothes and diapers in hot water and dried them all.

"That's enough. Children grow up fast. There's no need to prepare too much." Wang saw the piled up clothes. Did she prepare so much without realizing it?

Come to think of it, "Mom, when will grandma come?"

"It's still early. I still have more than a month left. Let the kitchen prepare the rice dumplings tomorrow." There are many holiday gifts to be given out, so it's better to prepare them early.

"Got it. Just focus on your pregnancy and leave these things to the kitchen."

Wang felt sweet in her heart, as her husband was as good to her as ever.

"Boss, the Han family sent so many things yesterday. How are we going to return their holiday gifts?" Thinking of this, Wang became worried. When did the two of them become so close?

They had not expected that Mrs. Han would send them half a mule cart of holiday gifts. The two families did not normally interact with each other, and they were quite at a loss as to what to do when this happened suddenly.

"This..." How could he know that this was the first time he gave gifts to relatives. He had only given gifts a few times after the family split up.

"We can just give whatever we have. They know our family situation," said Lin Xiaomi.

"But isn't this taking advantage of others?"

"What's the point of taking advantage? If they really think so, they won't give us any gifts. They must think we are good, so they are willing to get along like this. Mom and Dad, we will meet many rich people like this in the future. Gifts and reciprocity are not based on value, but on the intention."

"That's the truth, but..."

"That's the thing, Dad. Don't worry about it. It's settled. I guess Mr. Han hasn't eaten our rice dumplings, so send him some more. And we'll give him a few jars of the fruit wine we made in winter. We'll also give him two baskets of salted duck eggs, which is quite a bit, isn't it?"

Lin Dashan also thought that this return gift was indeed okay. "Just give it as you said. For the old house, give them rice dumplings, brown sugar, and two jars of rice wine. For the other families, don't give them any wine. Save this wine for the baby's full moon party." The wine was a festival gift from the Han family, and he thought it was pretty good.

"Okay, we'll still make meat dumplings, red bean paste dumplings, and some alkaline dumplings. When giving them away, we'll make 40 alkaline dumplings and 30 of the others. As for Mr. Han, we'll give him 200 meat dumplings, 200 red bean paste dumplings, and no alkaline dumplings, okay?"

"Okay. Just arrange the kitchen tomorrow."

The ten or so lychee trees in the farm were in good shape, full of ripe fruits. While the kitchen was busy making zongzi, Xiaomi took two little girls and a few farm servants to pick lychees.

This year, my mother didn't have a good time. Pregnant women shouldn't eat too much of this stuff. She picked it today and sent it to grandma and my uncle's house tomorrow along with the rice dumplings. Then she asked someone to send a basket with the rice dumplings to the school in the city. My two cousins ​​and my uncle's eldest cousin are now studying in the city.

"Miss, is that enough?"

The servant who was picking fruit from the tree asked loudly.

"Not enough, I need another 5 baskets." The lychees have thin skins, sweet fruits, and small seeds. They are probably a precious variety. She planned to give two baskets to Mr. Han as well, after all, they were produced in his farm.

As for other families, each family took a basket to taste the flavor. The uneaten ones were dried into lychees to nourish her mother during the confinement period. Lychees and brown sugar boiled eggs could also be used to make sweet soup.

After picking fruits for a long time, Xiaomi also ate fruits under the tree for a long time. When the servant came down from the tree, she burped. Well, she couldn't eat dinner.

"Move these lychees to the cellar and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Where did you go?"

Lin Dashan was very curious because he hadn't seen anyone the whole afternoon.

"Pick lychees. Dad, our lychees are especially delicious. I'll pick some for you to send to Grandpa tomorrow to try."

"Xiaomi is filial piety."

Lin Xiaomi curled her lips. It was not that she was being filial to her grandfather, but she just wanted to give her grandma and uncle a taste, so she had to sacrifice the old house. Her grandfather was just benefiting from her grandma.

"Send two baskets over to Master Han as well."

Early in the morning, Guan took the kitchen servants to prepare holiday gifts for each family.

"Master Guan, go to the city and give festival gifts to Master Han and Manager Xu."

"Yes."

He hired a driver to take the children to Yue's family and his uncle's family. He took the children to Lin's village himself.

The village head's house is in the center of the village, so I always go to his house first. As soon as I get to the door, I see his father, his second uncle, and the clan leader. Several old men are squatting at the door smoking, like door gods.

“The mountain is coming!”
