Chapter 249 A Gift from Hometown
Su Tai put down the large and small bags in her hand, took out three big red envelopes from them, and gave them to Tang Yu and Shen Ergou one by one. "Everyone has worked hard this year. Thank you for your hard work. We will work hard together next year."
The three of them took it obediently and said many auspicious words to Su Tai.
Shen Ergou pinched the red envelope, took a sneak peek, and was surprised, “Sister Su Tai, it seems you gave too much this time.”
There was at least ten taels of silver in the red envelope.
Su Tai laughed, "Not much, not much. This year, almost all the work in the workshop fell on you and your sister. You were also busy when I gave birth to the child, and I didn't have to worry about you during the month of confinement. These are just my little gifts. Oh, and there's also a basket of eggs, four bags of tea, two bags of brown sugar, a basket of snacks, a basket of bread and cakes, and a steaming hot pot. Take them all back. If you can't take them all in one trip, make another trip."
The brother and sister thanked Su Tai happily and quickly moved those things home.
Tang Yu was infected by their mood and smiled: "It's rare to find a boss as generous as Madam Shen. I sincerely hope that Madam Shen will prosper, so that I can also get a big red envelope."
"Hahaha, thanks for your good words, sir. If you have nothing to do this year, please come over and celebrate the New Year with us. I'll let my cousin and Ah Cheng go through the main entrance with you, so that no one will gossip about you."
Su Tai had this idea a long time ago, but she just didn't say it before.
Tang Yu's appetite had long been spoiled by Su Tai, so he didn't bother to be polite with her.
After the Shen Ergou brothers and sisters took all their things away, the door of the workshop was officially closed.
Tang Yu went to find the three children who failed the exam.
Su Tai went to the homes of other qualified children to announce the good news and gave the children a red envelope and some snacks.
When the test results came out, some families were happy while others were sad. The three children who did not do well in the test were beaten so hard that their cries could be heard at Su Tai's house.
Su Tai had to go and give them some advice.
The child's parents were furious. They pulled Su Tai aside to question her and learned that three out of ten children failed. They didn't even have the heart to vent their anger on Mr. Tang and could only glare at the children with disappointment.
Su Tai advised, "Every child is different. Some children are born without the desire to study. We send our children there so that they can learn to read and pass on the knowledge to future generations. We don't need to be blind. Anyway, we don't lack this little money. If possible, let the children study for another two or three years. As long as they can recognize all the characters correctly, that's fine. Isn't that right?"
After the angry parent calmed down, he felt that Su Tai was right and became more open-minded. He immediately pulled Su Tai to let the child continue to go to school.
Su Tai agreed to all of them.
After this trip, Tang Yu secured a few more students.
After she returned, she took advantage of the fact that Ke Yunyun and the others were in the backyard and immediately entered the Fire Time and Space to bring back the New Year's Eve dinner she had ordered in advance. She then ran to the backyard and asked Ke Yunyun and the others to pretend to accompany Tang Yu.
Let's all celebrate the New Year together openly.
It was Tang Yu's first time sitting with a group of women, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Only with Zhu Kangcheng and Shen Congrong accompanying him did he sit down tremblingly.
Looking at the table full of delicious fish and meat, his eyes almost popped out, "Mrs. Shen, you are so amazing. You are so busy during the day, but you can still prepare such a table of food in a short time. I really admire you!"
Su Tai smiled, "What's the big deal? Fried chicken and French fries are deep-fried, so they come out of the pot quickly. Hot pot is just a soup base, which is raw, so it's not a big deal."
Tang Yu couldn't stop nodding. He didn't know anything about cooking and was fooled by Su Tai in no time.
Ke Yunyun and Xiaoxi looked at Su Tai with admiration.
Su Tai accepted everyone's compliments without blushing or beating her heart.
After a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, everyone's reservedness disappeared.
Because of the war this year, and the fact that many families in each village were holding funerals, everyone agreed not to set off fireworks. Su Tai couldn't possibly anger the public at this time, so she refused to agree no matter how the children pestered her.
In order to cheer the children up, Tang Yu took them over to play chess.
The yard suddenly became much quieter.
Her thoughts were in a trance, thinking about Chen Yi who was thousands of miles away.
At this time, Shen Yi had just returned from military training, and was covered in dirt. Just as he was about to lie down, he discovered that there was a large locked box on his bed.
He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and looked at the others, "What is this?"
Shen Dagou and others who had returned from training with him were also confused.
"Brother Shen, look, many people have things on their beds, even Uncle Su and the others!"
Shen Yi naturally discovered it, and had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to express them.
At this time, Liu Jianzhang came in with Su Chunlin and the others, clasped his fists and bowed to Shen Yi, and said, "Captain Shen, I'm sorry, we just arrived at the military camp and could only deliver the things one by one. Now we have time to come to see you.
This box is prepared for you by your wife, and there is also a list with your wife's handprint on it. Let's check it on the spot. If there is no problem, I will leave first."
Shen Yi was overjoyed, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, "Thank you for your hard work, Officer Liu."
"I don't deserve it. You can call me Lao Liu or Jianzhang. Your wife brought you warm clothes, some food and medicine, and a box of jade. She said it was for you to wear to keep you safe. Everything was locked by Madam Shen herself."
Liu Jianzhang described the situation of the box in detail.
After checking, Shen Yi found that the seal on the box had not been tampered with. He opened it in front of Liu Jianzhang and took out the contents openly.
I found a bag of silver hidden inside the cotton coat, with the mouth of the bag sealed.
Liu Jianzhang was very surprised, "Mrs. Shen didn't say there was any more silver, I didn't record it here."
Shen Yi said apologetically: “Brother Liu, my wife probably didn’t hide it on purpose.”
Liu Jianzhang waved his hand, and he was very understanding. "This is the first time that your wife has sent you something, so it's only right that she should be cautious. What's there to be sorry about? Captain Shen, please take a closer look to see if there is anything that doesn't match. If not, I'll have to find someone else to check."
Su Chunlin and Su Chunsen were no longer calm, and they shouted, "And us, ours!"
Liu Jianzhang laughed and said, "I will never forget you two."
He looked at Su Chunlin and said, "You are Shen Baichang's father-in-law, right? Mrs. Shen prepared this for you. The items inside are similar to those in Shen Baichang's place. Please open them and compare them."
As he said this, he looked at Su Chunsen again, “Your things were prepared by your son, and I guess they are about the same as those of Mr. Shen Baida.”
Only Shen Yi and the other three had stuff in this tent, no one else had anything, and everyone felt a little disappointed.
Shen Yi knew what the brothers were thinking, so he stepped forward and asked, “Brother Liu, is there anyone else?”
