Chapter 336 Preparing to Return to My Mother's Home
The eldest branch of the Shao family is naturally no exception.
Since they had money this year, Fang was even more generous and prepared lavish gifts for Xu and Yang Xiaoni.
A duck, a chicken, thirty eggs, ten goose eggs, and a bottle of honey weighing about two kilograms, all home-grown.
He also bought six or seven pounds of pork belly, two jars of wine, five pounds of pastries, and two pieces of thick gauze cloth.
These were all bought by Fang with money from the public treasury. They had their own money, so if they wanted to buy something else, they could add to it themselves, and Fang would not be responsible.
As for Fang's own family, the public office also made the same preparations. She would add anything else to the gift.
Qiao Xuan was an exception. Fang gave Qiao Xuan twenty taels of silver and asked her to discuss buying a holiday gift with Shao Yunduan.
After all, she didn't know what kind of festive gift was needed for a family like the county magistrate's.
But since they were not nice to Qiao Xuan, they probably looked down on the local specialties from the countryside, so it was better not to bring anything from home.
With twenty taels of silver, no matter what they buy, it will be enough to give them face.
Qiao Xuan originally refused to take the twenty taels of silver.
Fang smiled and said, "I know you have money, but this festival gift should be prepared by the public, just take it!"
Qiao Xuan then accepted it with a smile, and praised her mother-in-law a lot, making Fang smile from ear to ear.
Mrs. Xu was extremely happy. Just thinking about how great it would be to return to her parents' home with so many gifts made her unable to help but curl up the corners of her mouth.
These things were already enough, she didn't plan to buy any more. She could just give her mother two taels of silver in private later.
She just asked Qiao Xuan for some tomatoes and watermelon seeds to take back.
Tomatoes are really delicious. Adding some to stir-fries or stews makes them very flavorful. Making them into a sauce and mixing them with noodles is even more delicious.
Xu thought about bringing some back for her family to try and also planting some next year.
Qiao Xuan generously agreed and picked a lot of them. She also picked a large basket of fresh mushrooms and black fungus and asked Xu and her mother-in-law to take some back.
If the watermelons were available, they would have no problem taking a few.
I remembered that there was also tea, so I packed two kilograms of each.
Thinking of the lipstick she gave them, Qiao Xuan specifically reminded them not to tell her family.
This lipstick is one of a kind and has great market potential. Once it is in stock, it will be sold out in minutes.
Qiao Xuan didn't want to be exposed and get into trouble at this time.
Both Fang and Xu agreed.
Fang and Xu were both very eager to go back to their parents' home, but Yang Xiaoni was reluctant and didn't want to go back at all.
"Mom, why don't I just forget it? I don't want to go back, and I don't want to bring anything for them!"
It’s better to feed the dogs than to give them to them!
Shao Sanlang also chimed in, "That's right, bullying my wife and wanting her things? No way!"
The couple shared the same hatred for the enemy. Fang felt a little headache when she thought of Yang Liang and his wife, who were such a troublesome couple.
Since Tian and Yang Liang came to Fang's house to make trouble and asked her to clean up, they dared not come again. If it weren't for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the need to prepare gifts, Fang would have almost forgotten about them.
Fang thought for a long time and said, "You guys can handle this! Anyway, you are not allowed to cause trouble for the family! Our family is a reasonable family. We have prepared gifts for our daughters-in-law for the Mid-Autumn Festival. We can't let people say that our family has no rules!"
Yang Xiaoni and Shao Sanlang looked at each other, both of them looked reluctant.
"How about we go to visit your parents' graves?"
