Chapter 100: Prepare New Year's Goods and Return to the Village
On the other side, Lin Qingxue took the two brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao and bought a lot of things. The Chinese New Year was in two days, and they had to buy some New Year's goods.
He bought two or three pounds of fruits, peanuts, candies, biscuits, snacks, etc. He also bought a whole pig, twenty pounds of beef, and a whole sheep. Lin Qingxue also bought some other vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, and bean sprouts.
With two nephews accompanying her, Lin Qingxue was only responsible for shopping, and handed the things to the brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao to carry.
In addition to food, Lin Qingxue also bought cloth, cotton, grain, etc.
Not only was the food for the Lin family, she also prepared a portion for the Lin village chief's family and the Liu family. The Lin village chief's family was a blood relative, and the Liu family was the maternal family of her sister-in-law Liu Jiali. Everyone had a good relationship with each other, so naturally they also needed to send New Year gifts.
Moreover, Liu Er's wife is about to give birth, and their family will definitely need these things.
The Liu family fled to Linjia Village together. Everything they had was prepared by the Lin family, and even their house was built with the help of the Lin family.
After buying the things, the group went to a jewelry store. Lin Qingxue bought a silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings of different styles and designs for each of the female members of the family.
As for the men in the family, they did not prepare anything. They just bought some things according to everyone's needs. Lin Qingmin and Lin Xiaoshan, who were studying, bought the four treasures of the study and paper, while Lin Qingming and others bought tea, wine, etc.
After buying everything, Lin Qingxue took her two nephews, who were both wearing a lot of things, and walked towards the shop.
It was only around ten o'clock in the morning. When they arrived at the shop, Lin Qingxue took the things bought by her three brothers and sisters-in-law, and the group took a carriage to Linjia Village.
The driver was Hu Yu. After sending Lin Qingxue and the others to Linjia Village, he quickly drove the ox cart back to the city. He still had to help in the shop!
After returning home, Lin Qingxue naturally received a warm welcome from Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin.
"Qingxue, you're back. How's the shop? Is business good?" Seeing her favorite granddaughter coming back, Mrs. Lin smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line, and Old Man Lin also smiled so much that his face was full of wrinkles.
"Qingxue, how are things in the city? When will your brothers and sisters-in-law come back?" Aunt Lin also asked.
"Grandma, Auntie, we are doing well in the city, don't worry. How are you doing in the village?"
Lin Qingxue took Mrs. Lin and Aunt Lin one by one and came to the place where things were stored. She placed the things she bought today on the table one by one. Lin Xiaoshan stood by and watched with his younger brothers and sisters.
"Okay, we are all fine," Mrs. Lin said with a smile, and then it was time for everyone to receive their own gifts.
Lin Qingxue and his siblings all bought things. Mrs. Lin and the others were very happy. They were not happy about receiving gifts, but about the children's thoughts and concern for them.
The whole family happily held their gifts and talked about what had happened during this period. Everyone was very happy.
It was soon time for lunch, but before we finished our meal, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. The temperature in the air dropped, and a cold wind blew.
After dinner, the Lin family gathered in the front hall to chat about family matters. Lin Qingmin took Lin Xiaoshan and the others to the study to read.
In order to prevent the children from getting cold, Lin Qingxue asked Li Feiran and Jiang Bin to place braziers in the four corners and the middle of the study, and only opened the windows a little to allow ventilation.
In the front hall, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue sat next to Mrs. Lin. They looked at Aunt Lin across from them and said with a smile, "Auntie, it's so cold lately. Can everyone in the village sit still? No one would go out to open up wasteland in such cold weather, right?"
"Why shouldn't they stay still? It's so cold, everyone should just stay on the kang. And unlike us, everyone else has two or three sets of winter clothes to change into. They only have one winter coat, so why should they go out and wander around?"
Aunt Lin had a helpless smile on her face. She thought her family was lucky to have her eldest niece, otherwise they wouldn't be having such a good life today.
"Yes! Qingxue girl, you don't know, if it weren't for the food you found from the bandit's lair and distributed it to everyone, who knows who would have sold their children this winter."
Mrs. Lin was also helpless. She had lived to a very old age and had seen everything. The people in their Linjia Village were lucky to have a capable daughter like Lin Qingxue.
"Qingxue girl, your third sister-in-law's niece-in-law should be giving birth in the next few days. What does your third sister-in-law mean?"
Aunt Lin looked at her two graceful nieces. Although she was not their biological mother, she and her husband really treated her nieces and nephews from the second house as their own children.
Everything is getting better now. In my current life, the older children have started their own families, and only the younger ones are left. The fifth child, Qingmin, is studying, and the sixth child, Qingyue, is old enough to get married. There are still many things to do in the future!
"My third sister-in-law brought me some food for my confinement period. She also bought some cotton cloth and cotton. She asked me to take it to the Liu family. The shop won't close for a few days before the New Year. By the way, Grandma, Auntie, how is the Liu family doing now?"
Lin Qingxue asked curiously. She only knew that the Liu family moved into the new house after it was built and did not continue to live with the Lin family. Her third sister-in-law gave money to Liu's sister-in-law but was rejected, so she bought some food and daily necessities and sent them to her.
Fortunately, the Liu family refused to take the money, and still accepted the food and daily necessities that Liu Jiali sent over.
After that, she opened her own shop and no longer paid attention to the Liu family's situation.
"Then Liu Er's wife is going to give birth in a few days. It's snowing recently, and except for a few men who are out collecting firewood, everyone else in the Liu family is hiding on the kang to hibernate! Almost every household in the village is like this."
Aunt Lin shook her head. Apart from being together every day on the road, the Liu family had less contact after settling down in Linjia Village. After they moved into the house, it snowed almost every day and they had never gone out for a walk.
"Then I'll take Xiaoyan and Xiaokang to visit the Liu family this afternoon and deliver the things over there," Lin Qingxue said with a smile. The money for buying things came from her third sister-in-law, and she was only responsible for delivering the things, so it was only right for her to call her third sister-in-law's two children over to repay the favor.
"Okay, you guys go earlier and come back earlier," Aunt Lin nodded. The snow outside was getting heavier. It gets dark early in winter, and now it was slowly getting darker.
"Qingxue girl, I see you bought several kinds of meat. When you go to Liu's house, cut some meat and send those pig's trotters to Liu's house. Liu's second wife needs pig's trotters to increase her milk production when she gives birth."
Mrs. Lin also agreed with a smile, saying that having a baby is the most important thing and must be handled with caution. You must eat what you should eat and never save.
