After the festival gifts were packed, Tian An took Xiaokang to deliver the gifts to the village chief, clan leader and two elders.
The elderly people were very happy to receive Tian An's holiday gifts.
The village chief said: "How can this be so embarrassing! It's such a waste, such a waste."
Then he said sorry, but did not delay at all in taking the thing.
The clan leader said: "Hey! What delicious food did the girl prepare this time? Look at these eggs, they seem to be different from usual ones! They smell delicious!"
The two elders said: "This is the legendary braised meat! Not bad, not bad. I have to go get some wine."
After giving the holiday gifts to the elderly, Da Niu and Du Shi also came back after selling the braised meat.
Every time a festival comes, everyone buys things for the festival in advance, so we don’t sell braised meat on the Dragon Boat Festival, and everyone can take a break.
There's no need for help. Mrs. Du also needs to go back to prepare things for the festival.
Tian An handed her two baskets and said, "Please take the festival gifts back, Second Aunt. We won't be able to go over as there are too many things to do during the festival."
Mrs. Du knew that Tian An had specially prepared the basket as a festival gift, but she hadn't expected Tian An to also prepare a share for her family.
Mrs. Du took the basket and said, "An An, why did you prepare something for my family?"
Tian An said: "Second uncle and second aunt are An An's elders after all, so it's only right that they prepare a gift for the festival."
Mrs. Du looked at the beautiful woven basket again and said: "We are family, so we can just use any basket. It would be a waste to use such a beautiful basket."
Tian An shook his head: "It's a festival, and we should enjoy the festive atmosphere! Second Aunt, go back quickly! The family is waiting for you!"
…
After lunch, Da Niu took Tian An and Xiao Kang to the county town to deliver gifts door to door with a cart full of festival gifts.
The first place we went to was the home of Mr. Zheng, the teacher of Da Niu.
After knocking on the door, a servant came to open it. Seeing that it was Da Niu, he politely said, "It's Master Zhao!"
Da Niu nodded and said, "I'm here to give Master a holiday gift. Master, you're at home!"
The servant opened the door and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, please follow me in!"
Da Niu asked Chen Feng to protect Tian An before taking Xiao Kang in with the holiday gifts.
After a while, the two of them came out.
As soon as they came out, Xiaokang happily pulled Tian An and said, "Sister, sister, Master Zheng tested my knowledge! I answered all the questions correctly, and the master praised me for my intelligence!"
Tian An was also happy for him: "Really? We are so prosperous."
Xiaokang added, "The teacher not only praised me, but also praised my sister!"
Tian An was stunned, a little bit unbelieving: "Praise me? Master Zheng has never seen me, how could he praise me!"
Xiaokang said, "When the Master saw the holiday gift we sent, he asked Brother Da Niu if he prepared it himself. Brother Da Niu said it was prepared by my sister. Then the Master praised my sister for her kindness and kindness and being a good wife."
Tian An looked at Da Niu again, and after getting Da Niu's affirmation, he pulled Xiao Kang away to talk.
"Xiaokang, quickly tell me in detail how your brother Daniu introduced me to Master Zheng!"
Xiaokang covered his mouth and coughed twice before imitating Daniel's tone to describe the scene to Tian An...
The two were talking animatedly. Da Niu glanced at them occasionally and shook his head, but he didn't stop them.
The two of them didn't stop until they arrived at Xiaokang's teacher, Master Li's house.
As soon as he got off the ox cart, Xiaokang stood up straight, like a serious little adult, and imitated the way Da Niu had just gone to Mr. Zheng's house. He first knocked on the door, and then went in with Da Niu carrying the basket.
When he came back, he was back to being the kid he was before: "Sister, sister, the teacher and Big Brother Niu said that I'm doing very well in school! They also said that I have a good sister!"
Then the two of them went back to whispering.
After sending the two teachers home, he went to Gu Jinyan's house on the way.
After knocking on the door to the backyard of the county government office, a maid came to open it shortly. After Tian An explained his purpose, the maid closed the door and went to report.
After a while, the door opened and it was Gu Jinyan who came in person.
A servant also came with them. When County Magistrate Gu knew that Da Niu and Xiao Kang had also come, he invited them to the front yard to drink tea.
So Tian An followed Gu Jinyan to the backyard, while Da Niu took Xiaokang to the front yard, and Chen Feng was also taken to the servants' resting place to rest for a while.
Since you have entered someone's house, you should first visit the elders. Tian An went to the backyard hall to pay his respects to the county magistrate's wife, Gu Jinyan's mother.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a beautiful middle-aged woman with kind eyes and a faint smile sitting in the seat of honor. Her face was somewhat similar to Gu Jinyan.
Gu Jinyan took Tian An to the center of the hall and called out to the beautiful woman, "Mom."
Then he pulled Tian An over and introduced her, "This is the An An I told you about."
Then he introduced Tian An: "An An, this is my mother. My mother is very gentle."
Tian An also walked to the center and bowed to the beautiful woman, saying, "Hello, Auntie. I am Tian An. Sister Jin Yan always told us that Auntie is gentle, and today I see that she is indeed so."
Madam Gu deliberately teased Tian An: "Oh? How did An An know that I was gentle? We didn't say a word!"
Tian An smiled and said, "They say appearance reflects the heart. An An saw that my aunt had a kind face and eyes, so I concluded that she must be a kind-hearted person."
Mrs. Gu's mouth curled up a lot when she was praised by Tian An: "You are such a sweet talker, no wonder Jin Yan is always thinking about you! She has been waiting for you since yesterday."
Tian An turned to look at Gu Jinyan and pretended to apologize: "Ah! I made Sister Jinyan wait for so long, An An is guilty!"
Gu Jinyan also cooperated: "It's good that you know you're wrong. Have you thought about how to make amends?"
