Brother Zhao was instantly delighted and ran out to help his wife carry things. Seeing a basket full of fresh seafood, his eyes widened. "Wife, why are there so many things? What are these two big guys? Why do they have so many legs? They are huge crabs. They are different from the fish, shrimp and crabs in our river."
"Oh my god, Sister Wan is so generous. She just gave me a mooncake gift box. The iron box is so beautiful. After eating the mooncakes, I can use it to store change!"
The couple brought their gifts into the main hall and placed them on their own table. Deng Xiunv took a special look at the mooncakes on the second room's table. "Oh, I heard the small workshop only got one mooncake, and my second brother and his wife got two, all thanks to my grandmother-in-law. But you don't have two, it seems Yu Cuihua also has two, she treasures them like they're nothing, showing them off to the whole village, I don't even want to laugh at her."
Zhao Guoming and Aunt Lu had never seen so much seafood before, and they couldn't help but come over to take a look. "These are all things we've never eaten before. The old family is so lucky. Sister Wan is so generous to her employees."
Aunt Lu was shocked and felt sad, thinking that she was an unlucky person.
"We're a large factory, unlike other small workshops." Deng Xiuniu opened the exquisite mooncake tin. Inside were two neatly arranged layers of mooncakes, eight in total. She took out three and gave them to her mother-in-law. "One each for Dad, Mom, and my third brother. I'll make you some seafood later."
When Sun Chunlian saw the box of mooncakes and then the big basket of seafood, her face turned dark and stiff, filled with envy and jealousy.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Compared with Deng Xiunv, the two of us were instantly defeated.
Thinking of this, I felt more and more unbalanced, and always felt that Gu Yarou was too stingy in giving the Spring Festival gift.
Deng Xiunv carefully grabbed the big thing from the basket, "Mom and Dad, this is the seafood that Sister Wan found a way to get. Today, our Zhao family is in for a treat! This is a giant lobster, the meat is so fresh and delicious, and it's still alive!"
"This is abalone. I've never eaten big abalone in my life. There are also octopus, squid and big crabs. Let's try them today, and then we'll have a good seafood reunion dinner at home tomorrow."
Zhao Da Ge glanced at the greedy couple of the second wife and said, "Just invite Dad, Mom, and Third Brother to eat. Second Brother's wife's small workshop has also distributed mooncakes. There is only so much seafood. We won't share it with you!"
The expectations of the second wife and her husband were dashed. There were so many seafood that they couldn't finish them in one meal, but they were so stingy that they didn't even let the second wife try the seafood soup.
Aunt Lu helped Deng Xiunv deal with it, "Do you want to send some to your parents' home?"
Deng Xiunv spread her hands and said, "No, no, my family members and my brother have received a lot. I guess we can't finish it in a few days. We may even have to give some away."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Qi came to the door with a basket, "My dear relatives, I have too much seafood at home, so I'll send some to you. Please order more for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow."
After putting the things on the table and chatting with his in-laws for a few words, Deng Li said goodbye and prepared to go to the next house to give gifts.
Not only the Zhao family, but other families in Qiyang Village also staged a drama of comparison.
"Compared to Gu Zhiqing, Yarou Zhiqing's mooncakes are really not up to par. There's no comparison!"
"I'm so envious of Deng Xiuniu and the others' New Year gifts. I'm craving all that seafood! It's all meat!"
