Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 248 Giving something away

It just so happens that the old man has lived in Kaoshan Village all his life, so he knows a little about any young person who is capable, motivated and willing to work hard.

When Mr. Xiao heard that his granddaughter had arranged a task for him, he was extremely happy.

It’s good that even with my old age, I can still do something for the family.

In fact, Xiao Wan understood that although her grandfather no longer had to work, he just had to wait to enjoy the filial piety of his children and grandchildren.

But when people are idle, they will start to have wild thoughts and may even get sick.

After all, grandpa has worked all his life, and he can't stand doing nothing and just sitting at home with food and drink.

When people get old, they need something to do, even if it is just growing vegetables and raising flowers, it will give them something to rely on.

Of course, Mr. Xiao doesn’t know how to grow flowers, let alone move bricks.

Xiao Wan's request really touched the old man's heart.

So he ran excitedly to find Zhao Lizheng to discuss it.

Xiao Wan couldn't help laughing. Grandpa seemed to be getting more energetic as he got older. It was a good thing. As long as he took good care of his health, it would be a blessing for his children and grandchildren.

Thinking of this, she asked Tian Shuang to pack four packets of snacks she had just made that morning, and also found a jar of good wine, a large bag of high-quality tobacco and a pipe.

In addition, two pieces of cloth suitable for the head of the village and his wife, Sun, as well as a large bag of tea were found.

After packing up, Tian Shuang took her brother Tian Qing to deliver it to Zhao Lizheng's home.

Xiao Wan had already bought the cloth, tobacco and pipe for Zhao Lizheng a long time ago, but they had not been delivered to him yet. Now she sent them together.

Zhao Lizheng is a fair and upright good man who has helped her a lot. Xiao Wan respects this old man who is wholeheartedly working for the village.

So Xiao Wan had no reluctance at all to give these things.

My younger brother Xiao Zhengping is on vacation today and did not go to school, so Tian Qing is also at home.

Tian Shuang hurried out and called her brother in, and they walked out together with their things.

Seeing that Tian Qing was well-behaved, cute and smart, Xiao Wan asked Tian Shuang to grab a handful of copper coins for him as a reward for running errands.

Tian Qing blushed. He always felt that the eldest lady was staring at him to tease him, but the kindness in her eyes could not be hidden.

When he heard the eldest lady giving him copper coins, he quickly waved his hands to refuse.

I was just running errands for my sister, how could I ask for tips?

Besides, I am already taking advantage of the situation by studying with the young master on weekdays. I get monthly wages and he picks me up and drops me off.

Tian Qing is also a contented and grateful person.

Tian Shuang meant the same thing, but Xiao Wan shook her head and insisted that Tian Shuang give him a handful of copper coins.

Tian Shuang had no choice but to hand it to her brother and asked him to thank her for the reward.

Xiao Wan looked at the child, who was about the same age as her brother, and quickly stopped him from thanking her. She only smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead. You can have some snacks with Brother Ping when you come back."

The brother and sister hurried off to do their errands.

When we arrived at the village head's house and explained our purpose, Zhao, the village head, was so anxious that he was puffing his beard and glaring.

What does this mean? I was just watching the villagers at the construction site to prevent them from cheating and not working.

Otherwise, we can work with Mr. Xiao to select people to work, which will be a great thing for Kaoshan Village.

How could I accept such a big gift from Xiao Wan?

Zhao Lizheng firmly refused to accept it, and Tian Qing was a little at a loss with the thing in his hand.

Instead, Tian Shuang stepped forward, put the things down, and bowed to the head of the village with a smile, conveying her young lady's intentions to Zhao, the head of the village.

Old Master Xiao was there too, and he kept urging Zhao Lizheng to accept it and stop being polite.

The village head's wife, Mrs. Sun, was looking at the fabrics, snacks, wine, etc., and her eyes were red with envy.

When doing things for these villagers in the village on weekdays, no one would think of giving them gifts or anything.

This old man in my family is even more weird. Not only does he not take any money from being the village head, he also often helps the villagers with their work.

Angry, Sun quarreled with Zhao Lizheng several times, but it was of no use.

Now that Xiao Wan sent so many things, the old man actually refused to accept them.

Sun was so angry that she didn't care about her face at all. She walked forward with a smile on her face and put the things away.

He kept saying "The county lady has spent a lot of money", which made Zhao Lizheng very angry.

Sun felt very aggrieved. Was she doing this for herself?

My old man loves to have a few drinks and smoke a few cigarettes. On weekdays, he is always reluctant to eat or use other things because of his eldest grandson's studies.

Now that Xiao Wan sent these things, it was obvious that they were prepared for him.

It's not like I'm accepting something for nothing. These are just a drop in the bucket for Xiao Wan. What's wrong with accepting them?
