Chapter 178: Jin Feng is a lucky child
When Wen Tang went with Gu Yanli to buy clothes for the Gu family, she saw the silk scarf that she had given to Feng Jiao and Feng Wei last time.
When Wen Tang saw the scarf, he thought of Director Wang.
Director Wang had never made things difficult for her regarding the soap, and had always done his best. She didn't have much to offer him, so it would be bad to just give him two bags of tea.
So when I saw the scarf, I spent a huge amount of money to buy one.
I'll just wait to bring it to Director Wang the next time I go to the commune.
Unexpectedly, Director Wang came to her house before she left.
The scarf was handed to Director Wang. Just by looking at the packaging, Director Wang knew it was not cheap.
Wen Tang also told her, "I went to Hai City to visit my girlfriend a few days ago, and saw this scarf. I thought it was very suitable for you, so I brought it back. Please don't despise it, Director."
Director Wang naturally didn't mind. For things in Haishi, even if you have money, you have coupons.
However, Wen Tang's husband is a soldier in the army in Hai City, so it is normal for him to have some rare coupons. And I heard that her husband is even a battalion commander.
Director Wang held the wrapped scarf in his hand. Although he liked it very much, he still pushed it away, saying, "This... is too expensive."
Wen Tang smiled and shook his head. "It's not expensive, but the color is better."
"Really?" Director Wang stroked it, and it was obvious that he really liked it.
"Really," Wen Tang assured sincerely.
"If that's the case, then I'll take it."
"Don't send it. I'll go back now." After accepting the gift, Director Wang didn't ask anyone to send it again.
Wen Tang stopped walking and said, "Director, please drive slowly."
"Well, let's go back," Director Wang got on his bicycle, turned around and waved, then rode away.
Only after making sure that she couldn't see clearly what was behind her when she looked back did Wen Tang walk away.
Suddenly there were orders worth two thousand yuan, and Wen Tang started to get busy, and Zhong Meixian also started to get busy.
Wen Tang was busy buying lard everywhere, while Zhong Meixian was catching clams everywhere. Fortunately, it was summer and there were plenty of them.
The next day after they were busy, it was the day when Chi Yue's family gave gifts to the child.
On this day, not only Chi Yue's family came.
Relatives from the Gu and Lin families also came.
On this day, Lin Jingshen took a leave and stayed at home, and Gu Shuhe also took a break to help at home. Everyone started working early in the morning.
Gu Jin also came to the Gu family early to help.
There are many people drinking, so a lot of dishes need to be prepared, so the dishes must be prepared early.
Gu Yinfeng and Gu Xiaohua's families also arrived at around eight o'clock.
After the two arrived, they first went to Lin's house to see Chi Yue and the child, gave the child money, and then came out to help.
When they were working, they couldn't help but talk about Chi Yuesheng's child, and they all praised Chi Yuesheng's child. "This child will definitely look like her mother when she grows up. Look at her double eyelids, so beautiful." Gu Xiaohua said.
Gu Yinfeng also said, "She has fair skin, and a fair complexion makes her look pretty. She will be pretty no matter how she grows up."
Gu Jin also smiled and said, "Jinfeng is a lucky child."
Everybody was praising their family, and Gu Jinfeng, the grandmother, was almost smiling to death.
Zhong Meixian sat behind the stove with her hands folded, saying nothing.
She didn't say anything, and no one noticed that she was unhappy.
The old lady was upset, so she suddenly said loudly, "Xiaotang from our family said that he will build a new house for us in a while."
Her words really changed the topic. Gu Yinfeng and Gu Xiaohua were both surprised. "Really?"
"When will it be built?"
"Sister-in-law, what kind of cake are you going to make?" Gu Yinfeng asked Wen Tang who was busy making wedding eggs.
Wen Tang didn't even raise his head, "Build a brick house."
"Oh, that's a lot of money!"
Zhong Meixian immediately raised her chin proudly.
Humph, what’s so great about being able to give birth to a child?
All women can give birth to children, but can all women build red brick houses for their families?
She was obviously lucky to have found a good daughter-in-law.
Speaking of houses, Gu Yinfeng couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, how are you?"
Wen Tang: “Ah?”
What, how is she?
Gu Yinfeng pointed to her belly.
"Pay attention to turning the pan over. You've burnt the peanuts. All you do is talk. Talk, talk!!!" Before Wen Tang could say anything, Zhong Meixian glanced at Gu Yinfeng.
Gu Yinfeng quickly took the ladle and flipped the peanuts twice.
Then……
No, it’s not burnt!
She wanted to speak, but Gu Jinfeng and Gu Xiaohua both winked at her.
Gu Yinfeng didn’t understand for a moment, but still chose to shut up.
Chi Yue's family arrived at around ten o'clock.
Generally, when a girl gives birth to a child, her parents' home will give her a hen, eggs, brown sugar, as well as new clothes, small shoes, and quilts for the child.
Some people who are better off will give away their own fermented glutinous rice wine, long noodles, and small shakers.
Most conditions are not good now, so we have to make hens, eggs, brown sugar, and children's new clothes, shoes, and quilts ourselves.
But Chi Yue's mother was stingy, and probably knew that three chickens were too ugly, so she gave two hens and a rooster.
There was only a small basket of eggs, and it was so small that everyone doubted whether it could hold thirty eggs.
There were barely six packets of brown sugar.
The children's clothes, one set was newly made, the other was obviously old.
You can also see from the quilt that it is made of old cloth.
When these things were brought into Chi Yue's room and opened, everyone could see them.
After seeing this, everyone in the Gu family looked unhappy.
Especially Wen Tang.
She is a person who is fine with being wronged, but she absolutely cannot bear to see her best friend being wronged.
"They say customs change every ten miles. It seems to be true," she smiled and picked up the old clothes and blanket. "Look, your place is only one village away from us, but the customs have changed."
"Our grandmother always gives new clothes and blankets to babies who have just been born."
Chi Yue's mother was smiling, but when she heard this, her face immediately turned cold.
Seeing that Wen Tang was young, she looked at him with a half-smile, "Who is this?"
Wen Tang covered his mouth and laughed in a sinister way, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Yueyue's aunt."
"I rushed back from Hai City specially for Yueyue's birth and bought a lot of new clothes for the child!"
Wen Tang held the child in his arms and showed it to everyone. "Look, the clothes the child is wearing, feel them, they are soft, right? I bought them all from Hai City, I bought six sets in total."
When Wen Tang said she was her aunt, Song Dayan looked at her in surprise.
It is obvious that Aunt Wen Tang is the wife of Uncle Lin Jingshen.
If she was Chi Yue's aunt, then she would be her brother's wife or sister-in-law, and she should be standing next to her at this moment.
Lin Jingshen's uncle seems to be in Haishi's army.
However, Lin Jingshen’s aunt is so good to the child?
Not only did he rush back from Hai City specially, but he also bought six sets of clothes for a child?
Does such a young child know how to dress?
Song Dayan thought that when no one was around, she would have to have a good talk with Chi Yue and ask her to be more careful. Since this aunt was easy to please, she would let Chi Yue make more money in the future. Wouldn't it be better to use the money to buy new clothes for her brother instead of giving them to this tiny girl?
