Eating melons

If it was the usual three-grain noodles or two-grain bread, Li Hong would have accepted it, but now that this was made of fine grains, Li Hong felt embarrassed to accept it, after all, no one was rich.

Thinking of this, Li Hong still tried to refuse, "This is too much, tell them to keep it for themselves!"

Seeing Li Hong's expression, Liu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes in her heart and said impatiently,

"You guys keep it. Don't tell me if you want to refuse. My job is to deliver this to you. Anyway, I've already delivered the things. It's none of my business anymore, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Liu Jiaojiao turned and left, leaving Li Hong confused, not knowing why Liu Jiaojiao suddenly had this attitude.

The old educated youth inside naturally heard Liu Jiaojiao's words and hurriedly asked, "Sister Li, what's going on? Why do you have that expression? Is this bun not good?"

Li Hong shook her head. "No, it's not that the food is bad, it's that it's too good. It's all made from fine grains. It's all fine grains, so it's too expensive."

After saying that, he closed the door and opened the lid of the basket for everyone to see.

Everyone was also surprised when they saw what was inside. They didn't expect that they were all fine-grain buns and dumplings.

Most people felt that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were so generous, and that this group of new educated youth were worth interacting with, but there were also one or two people whose eyes flashed, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't know what these educated youth were thinking, and even if they did, they wouldn't care too much about them.

If they want to make friends, then they will make friends, and they will not refuse, but if they want to do something evil, then they are not someone they can afford to defeat.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they can pay enough.

The two men who had their eyes on them, one had gone to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, while the other was still clearing the land. Both were beaten half to death and suffered from epilepsy, leaving them useless and becoming eunuchs.

If they dare to come, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi's devil pepper spray has not been tried on people's eyes and faces yet, so they can come and help them test the medicine.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are not easy to deal with, not to mention that behind them are the wicked Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin.

There are four people, two of them are immoral, and two of them are treacherous. They would rather kill people than risk their lives.

When Liu Jiaojiao came back after delivering the buns, Wei Wei and the other two had already made a lot of them.

While Wu Mei was kneading the dough and waiting for it to ferment, Liu Jiaojiao was very considerate and took the wrapped buns, dumplings and steamed buns outside to freeze them.

Seeing that Liu Jiaojiao had nothing to do, Wei Wei asked her to continue steaming buns.

Seeing the two of them like this, Wu Mei, Yu Xi and Liu Jiaojiao all wanted to say something, but when they saw that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi only fought for one cage, they shut up.

With such a big fire burning all the time, the temperature in the room rose very quickly and it soon became hot. Before long, all four of them showed signs of sweating.

The four of them took off their cotton jackets directly, but they didn't feel cold. This shows how high the temperature in the room was.

It took fifteen or sixteen pounds of flour and cornmeal, and it took until dark in the evening to finish wrapping everything.

As for the filling, all the sauerkraut was wrapped, and there was still a lot of other stuffing left. Wei Wei decided to continue wrapping it tomorrow.

When Wu Mei and the other two left, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi packed enough for them for dinner. They also picked up a lot of frozen steamed buns and sauerkraut dumplings for them to have for breakfast tomorrow, and told them to come back to help tomorrow.

Seeing such a generous reward, the three of them quickly agreed. Only a fool would not want to do such a good thing. Besides, they were bored at home anyway, and having something to do would make it easier to pass the time.

When Liu Jiaojiao left, Wei Wei gave her some red floral fabric that could be used to make a cotton-padded jacket. Liu Jiaojiao was so happy that the corners of her mouth stretched to the back of her ears.

Seeing how much Liu Jiaojiao liked it, Wei Wei once again complained about Xiao Xuemu's lack of taste.

In fact, not only Liu Jiaojiao loves this fabric deeply, but even Fang Lan, the old lady Xiao from Beijing, loves this cotton-padded jacket with bright red floral patterns.

What happened was that a few days after Xiao Xuemu arrived in Beijing, the cotton-padded jacket he had previously sent to Old Mrs. Xiao arrived.

Fang Lan was thinking about her little grandson. The little grandson came to Beijing secretly and avoided people. She had never seen him. Unexpectedly, she received a package from the little grandson before she even met him.

When Fang Lan heard that the package was sent by her grandson, her eyes lit up with smiles. She immediately took the package from Cheng Yan's hand and opened it.

As soon as I opened it, the things inside came out immediately. The most eye-catching thing was the bright red floral cotton jacket.

Seeing the color of the cotton-padded jacket, Mrs. Xiao was immediately attracted by it. "Oh, this color is nice."

Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but nodded as soon as she touched it, "Not bad, not bad, all new cotton, warm."

Cheng Yan couldn't help but touch it as soon as she saw it, and nodded after touching it. "This color is really nice, festive, and perfect for wearing during the Chinese New Year. The quality is also good, it should be all new cotton, which is a rare good material."

In addition to the cotton-padded jacket for Fang Lan, there was also a cotton-padded jacket for Xiao Aiguo, as well as a lot of dried goods and nuts. Fang Lan glanced at the package in Cheng Yan's hand.

"Did Xiao Si send this too?"

Cheng Yan nodded, "Yes, but this is not for you, Mom. It's for me."

Hearing this, Fang Lan glanced at Cheng Yan and said, "Virtuous, how can I still steal yours? Open it quickly and see what Xiao Si sent."

Hearing this, Cheng Yan didn't say anything, but just opened the package in his hand.

The first thing that caught my eye was a lot of various dry goods, but there was also a small box wrapped in cloth inside. When the cloth was opened, an exquisite small box immediately appeared.

When Cheng Yan opened it, an exquisite watch immediately appeared in front of him.

When Cheng Yan saw this watch, he took off the watch on his hand and put on this one without saying a word.

Looking at the watch on his hand, Cheng Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, my youngest son still understands me."

The Xiao family is a simple family with good relationships. Xiao Xuemu is the youngest in the family, and Xiao Xuemu is the only girl in the next generation.

Cheng Yan has always treated Xiao Xuemu and Xiao Xuemu as her own children.

Of course, Mu Qing has always treated Xiao Yang and Xiao Bing as her own children. Before she gave birth to Xiao Xuemu, Mu Qing gave all the good things she had to Xiao Yang and Xiao Bing.

Usually, Mu Qing calls Xiao Yang the eldest son, and Cheng Yan always calls Xiao Xuemu the eldest daughter and Xiao Xuemu the youngest son.

When Fang Lan saw the watch, she nodded with satisfaction, saying it was indeed good.

In fact, it is no wonder that the Xiao family loves Xiao Xuemu the most besides the girl Xiao Xuemu. It is really that Xiao Xuemu is so likable.

Of course, this only pleases family members, but not necessarily outsiders.

No one in the family can compare to Xiao Xuemu when it comes to gift-giving. Every time he gives a gift, it hits the spot. Except for the gifts for his mother, Xiao Xuemu often crosses Ms. Mu Qing's bottom line.

Because the two people have different aesthetic tastes, it is also possible that Xiao Xuemu did it on purpose, and the latter possibility is even greater.

The main reason is that Ms. Mu Qing really likes to play pranks on Xiao Xuemu and watch him make a fool of himself.

Therefore, every time Xiao Xuemu was given something, he would give it some strange things, so Xiao Xuemu also gave Ms. Mu Qing some strange things.

When the old man of the Xiao family and Xiao Song came back, they nodded when they saw the cotton-padded jacket. It was indeed good. Xiao Aiguo even changed into it immediately.

Only Xiao Song was unhappy because everyone had gifts except him.

Seeing Xiao Song like this, Cheng Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, I didn't leave you behind."

After saying that, he took out a few medicine bags and said, "Xiao Si knows that you and Dad like to drink, so he sent a lot of medicinal herbs over. They are best used to make wine. We can drink it by the New Year."

Xiao Song took the medicine package and opened it to see that it was indeed good. The annual fees for these medicinal herbs were not low. Two of them were used to make wine, and the others contained a lot of ginseng, even two hundred-year-old ginseng. It was also written in the letter that Xiao Song and Xiao Aiguo would each get one.

When Xiao Song saw that there were things that belonged to him, he was no longer unhappy. It was not because he cared about how valuable the gifts were, but because everyone had gifts but he didn't. Wouldn't that make him seem the least favored?

But this gift is indeed valuable. Although there are ginsengs at home, there are not many hundred-year-old ginsengs. Xiao Xuemu gave two at once, which is worth several thousand dollars!

Cheng Yan's watch is not cheap, and neither are his cotton coat and trousers. Although they know that Xiao Xuemu is not short of money in the black market, the Xiao family still can't help but worry that Xiao Xuemu will run out of money.

Everyone was thinking of transferring some money directly to Xiao Xuemu when the time comes, so that if Xiao Xuemu really ran out of money, he would have money to spend.

If Xiao Xuemu still had money, it could be saved for him. Before, Xiao Xuemu kept complaining that he couldn't make ends meet with his money, so he asked them to think of a solution.
