Han Wanying thought for a moment and said, "Just two eggs and a handful of sugar for each family."
He Ting thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. The two of them took three baskets and put the things in them. Han Wanying carried one basket and He Ting carried two.
When the two of them had almost finished packing, they picked up the basket and went out. Before leaving, Han Wanying cooked lunch in the pot. Because she was thinking of He Ting, she also prepared lunch for Yan Shuojing and He Zhen.
The two of them estimated the time to be about the same, and by this time, most people who had gone home to cook had returned.
Han Wanying delivered the gifts to each family as planned. When these people heard that Han Wanying was delivering gifts for them, and even included two eggs, they were so happy to see Han Wanying that their faces broke into smiles.
Han Wanying had delivered half of the meal and had just come out of a house when she reached out and rubbed her face, feeling that her face was about to freeze from smiling.
He Ting was the same. She complained to Han Wanying, "Xiaoying, why did you give that family a gift? I just heard their mother say that it was such a shabby gift for someone who works at a machinery factory."
Han Wanying said softly, "Although the mother of this family isn't a good person, her daughter-in-law is very kind. I remember when I first came here, her daughter-in-law was worried that I wouldn't have enough to eat, so she specially sent me some sweet potatoes."
"I have to send them something out of consideration for this. Besides, I'm sending it to the daughter-in-law of that family, not to their old mother. There's nothing to be angry about."
He Ting looked at Han Wanying and sighed, "How could you be so heartless? You've been cheated and you still have to help others count the money."
Han Wanying smiled faintly and said, "One of my strengths is that I can judge people very well. I will definitely remember those who help me, but I can still see through those who talk about me behind my back, so I won't rush into anything that doesn't go my way."
He Ting nodded when she heard this, and said in an agreeing tone: "Don't mention it, I just wanted to say it, none of the people you are visiting now like to say bad things about you. You really haven't visited any of those people who are always behind you. When I left, I was thinking about it. I saw a lot of people saying bad things about you in the village recently, and I wanted to remind you, but I didn't expect you to go to any of them."
Han Wanying said cheerfully, "Of course I have a keen eye."
Han Wanying meant it as a joke, but unexpectedly He Ting nodded and said, "I think so too, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen me as your good friend."
Han Wanying was amused by He Ting's words. "You really know how to talk. I can't tell whether you are praising me or yourself."
The two of them quickly carried the things to the last person's house.
Han Wanying walked up and knocked on the door. A familiar voice came from inside, "I'm coming."
Han Wanying opened the door and called out with a smile, "Good afternoon, Auntie."
The last family was Liu Guixiang's. Liu Guixiang looked at Han Wanying and said with surprise, "Han girl, you're back. Come in and sit down."
Han Wanying smiled and said, "It's a day off today, so I thought I'd come back and take a look. I won't go in and sit down. I'm still cooking at home, so I'll go back and take a look."
Then he took the basket from He Ting, handed all the remaining things to Liu Guixiang and said, "I'm going to work in the county town. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have much time. I thought I wouldn't hold a banquet, but just give everyone some things to cheer everyone up."
"This is for my aunt, please take it."
Liu Guixiang quickly declined, saying, "How can I accept it? There aren't many people at your house, so it's okay not to hold a banquet. Why are you spending this money? I can't accept it. You said you went to work in the county town, and I didn't even say I would celebrate for you. How can I accept your things? Take them back quickly."
Han Wanying handed the basket to Liu Guixiang firmly, "Auntie, just keep it. Everyone has received it. You are the last one to receive it. Okay, it's almost time. I'll go back first. Goodbye, Auntie."
After saying this, Han Wanying and He Ting ran away quickly.
Song Qinqin, who was inside, saw that her mother-in-law opened the door and had not come back, so she came out with her big belly to check on the situation.
As soon as she came out, she saw her mother-in-law holding a basket in her hands and looking into the distance with a helpless look on her face. Song Qinqin hurried forward to check.
I saw a few eggs on the basket in my mother-in-law's hand, about 10 of them, and some sugar could be vaguely seen underneath.
Song Qinqin asked curiously, "Mom, who brought this gift? I haven't heard of any happy events in the village recently."
Liu Guixiang said, "Who else could it be? Even if there's a happy event, she's not the only one who's so generous."
Song Qinqin hesitated and said, "Is it Sister Han?"
Liu Guixiang nodded. "It's her, this girl. Usually when someone goes to work in the county, we have to hold a banquet. This girl didn't want to hold a banquet, so she said she would buy some gifts for everyone."
Song Qinqin swallowed and said, "Is this Han sister so generous to everyone?"
Liu Guixiang turned around and looked at Song Qinqin in surprise and said, "What are you thinking? Is Han Wanying so stupid? She just thought that because she has a good relationship with us, she would give more. From what I see, she probably gave it to our family last, so she gave us all the remaining things."
Song Qinqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Guixiang looked at her third daughter-in-law and shook her head in amusement. "Well, you're still pregnant. Go in with your food. These eggs are just right for you to nourish yourself."
On the way back, He Ting looked at Han Wanying and said, "Xiaoying, I find that you really have a keen eye."
Han Wanying looked at He Ting speechlessly and said, "Why, are you thinking about how to praise yourself again?"
He Ting wanted to complain, "No, I've observed that people I know well will think of giving you a gift in return after receiving something. Even poorer families will think of asking you to take some food back. But other families don't do that, even those who are relatively wealthy."
Then He Ting looked at Han Wanying with envy and said, "Xiaoying, how did you do it? Teach me. I don't want to be cheated in the future."
Han Wanying smiled at He Ting and said, "This is our sect's unique skill, and it will not be passed on to outsiders."
In fact, there is no such method. It’s just that Han Wanying’s five senses are relatively sharp. No matter how well a person disguises himself, some daily details will reveal his character, and Han Wanying can also detect it.
Not to mention that in this countryside, basically these people's thoughts are written on their faces, and Han Wanying doesn't need to look carefully.
