"It's possible," Tai Jizu nodded and asked, "Dad, what should we do with these things? Should I drive the car back?"
After a moment's thought, Grandpa Tai said, "Forget it, let's stay. They're trying to make friends, so let's send the things back. If they get embarrassed, we might end up making enemies."
When they come to visit us in the future, we will ask a few more questions and help if we can. However, if we cannot provide what they ask for, we will choose some similar gifts to return them.
Tai Jizu quickly agreed, and then asked Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue to move things into the house.
The women in the backyard came to the front yard to get cashmere, and they were extremely envious when they saw the pig legs and white rice.
But then they thought about it again and felt happy, after all, they were working for their sixth uncle's family to earn money.
Sixth Uncle's family has a wide circle of friends and their life is getting more and more prosperous, so they also benefit from it!
Being delayed in going up the mountain, the old man planned to go again the next day.
I was originally worried that my granddaughter would be unhappy, but the fat girl ended up following behind my aunt and making things worse, and was having a lot of fun.
When the buns came out of the pot, she got to eat the first one as she wished. It was so hot that her little white teeth were bared, she breathed out hot air, and her face was full of smiles!
Sure enough, greedy children are the easiest to coax!
The next morning, the old man packed up his things with his grandchildren and prepared to continue up the mountain.
But maybe because the ginseng and rabbits on the mountain prayed too many times, God finally remembered to protect them.
As the old and young people went out, they saw a carriage turning down the road and heading straight towards their home.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue really didn't know whether to be happy or depressed.
They were happy because they thought there might be another good gift coming in, but they were frustrated because the herbs on the mountain were still waiting for them and they had no chance to pick them.
Zhuzhu's eyes sparkled, and she suddenly leaned over and whispered something in her grandfather's ear.
“Grandpa, there is someone in the carriage, shining like Uncle Wenquxing!”
Wenquxing?!
The old man's eyes lit up and he guessed that the visitor was a scholar, a very powerful scholar.
As it turned out, the person sitting on the shaft of the cart was an acquaintance.
It was Mrs. Ge who had helped a little at home when the car overturned outside the village, and who later came to give a thank-you gift!
The old man quickly asked Tai Yonglu to go to the back to find Yang Lihua, in case the visitor was a female relative and it would be difficult for him to entertain her.
Sure enough, Mrs. Gerhardt jumped out of the car and saluted enthusiastically.
"I hope you're well, old man. My master and his wife are taking the young master to stay at the manor for a while. They passed by here and wanted to ask for a cup of tea from your family. I wonder if this is bothering you?"
"Don't bother me, don't bother me!" The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "You are welcome in our home!"
The old woman hurried forward and opened the car door. A maid jumped out, then turned around and supported a young woman and a boy of three or four years old, and finally a man with a pale face.
The man bowed first, very gently and politely, "Hello, Mr. Tai."
The women and children also followed suit and saluted without showing any arrogance.
Mr. Tai quickly returned the greeting and said, "Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, please come in!"
At this time, Tai Jizu and Yang Lihua rushed over and helped the old man lead everyone into the house.
Liu Dongniang had already taken Erya to boil water and make tea. As for the other women, they heard that there were distinguished guests at home and stayed in the backyard.
The Tai family's new yard was not built in a particularly gorgeous and exquisite way, but it was generous and spacious, and very clean. Unlike other farmyards that were often littered with chicken droppings and fallen leaves, this was very rare.
Mrs. Wu took her son for a walk and looked around, and her love for the Tai family grew even more.
Tai Yongning was practicing walking under the eaves. When he felt tired, he would hold a book and read it intently. When he came to his senses, the three members of the Wu family were already approaching.
Grandpa Tai thought of what his granddaughter had just said, and his heart was moved. He quickly called his grandson forward and introduced him to her.
"This is my second-born grandson, Yongning. He has loved studying since he was young, but unfortunately he had difficulty with his legs and never went to school."
After that, he called out again, "Yongning, come in and talk to Master Wu."
Mr. Wu nodded but didn't say much.
At once, everyone sat down. Liu Dongniang brought in tea and snacks, and Erya also brought in a plate of wild berries.
In the past, at the beginning of spring, these wild berries were hard to come by. Now they are plentiful on the mountain, so they are not rare at all, but they are nice to eat fresh.
The young master of the Wu family seemed very lively. He sat next to his mother, looking here and there, like a little bird that had just flown out of the nest.
Zhuzhu also rarely saw a new friend, so she ran up and asked, "Little brother, I have a lot of fun things, do you want to play with me?"
Young Master Wu is a little thin, but he is also fair and cute, and he is dressed exquisitely, like a little fairy boy.
At this moment, he immediately nodded, took Zhuzhu's hand and shouted, "Okay, sister. Come to my house in the future, I will also have fun!"
Zhuzhu jumped and pushed open the door of the west room, pulled the little boy onto the kang, opened her treasure box, and poured out a bunch of small things.
Luban locks, nine-linked rings, detachable wooden houses, wooden carriages, colorful sachets and pockets, dyed sheep galaha...
Many of them were brought back by Tai Jiye from the south, some were collected on the grassland, some were given by the Min family, and some were arranged by Madam Zheng and her son.
Mrs. Wu treated her son like the apple of her eye and was a little hesitant at first, fearing that the crude peasant items would hurt him. Unexpectedly, Zhuzhu's treasured gadgets were all of high quality, beyond her expectation.
She suddenly remembered the half ginseng left at home and felt a little ashamed.
When the car first overturned outside the Tai family's house, it was still an ordinary Niwa courtyard. Now, in just a few months, it has been transformed into such a neat two-entry brick and tile courtyard. It must have taken some skill.
She underestimated others!
Thinking of this, she said to the Tai family, "At the end of winter, my child and I were returning to the city when our car accidentally overturned. We received help from your family, but I have never thanked you in person.
"I didn't expect that a few days ago, our family was in a hurry to buy wild ginseng, and your family delivered it in time. I am really grateful.
"We've brought some food and supplies today. They're not very expensive, so I hope you don't mind."
As they were talking, the old woman, the coachman and the maid had already moved a lot of things to the eaves of the corridor.
The Tai family took a quick look and saw half a pig's leg, two bags of rice, two bags of noodles, two jars of vegetable oil, four pieces of cloth and four boxes of snacks.
This gift is quite valuable!
Old Master Tai quickly bowed and said to Madam Wu, "You're too polite, Madam. Although my family helped a little, you also sent me a lot of food and daily necessities. We were poor back then, so maybe it wasn't much in your eyes, but those things saved our lives, so we should be grateful."
"Besides, the Madam also gave a high price of one hundred taels for the ginseng, so our family didn't suffer any loss. The Madam also gave us so many generous gifts today, our family really can't accept them!"
Mrs. Wu could see that the old man was not being polite and that his words came from the heart, which made her even happier.
"Then, old man, consider this as a gift for our family's visit. We will go to the manor often in the future, and we will definitely visit here more often when we pass by. If we encounter any problems, we will definitely trouble you for help."
