"Yan Yan, why are you giving me so much food?"
“Eat!”
Su Yan smiled and waved her big hand again. Baskets of fruits were neatly piled against the corner of the wall, two baskets each of Red Fuji, Red Delicious, Venus Apple, Fengshui Pear, Fragrant Pear, Rock Sugar Orange and Mandarin Orange.
Why two baskets? One because the Su family has more children, and the other so that the parents can take them to visit relatives.
"Yan Yan, why are there tangerines in this weather?"
"Mom, the tangerines were picked in mid-October, so there's no problem storing them for a few months."
Su Yan knew that Lu Ting liked to eat tangerines, so she didn't sell even a pound of the thousands of pounds of tangerines.
After arranging the fruits and grains, Su Yan took out a basket of seafood, two hundred chicken eggs, one hundred duck eggs, two barrels of oil, twenty pounds each of various dried fruits and candied fruits, five pounds of beef, ten pounds of pork, three grass carps, two carps, and two large turtles from the space.
There were two cured chickens, two cured ducks, and two cured rabbits. I didn’t take the ones with sauce and kept them for myself.
Finally, two baskets of greens were brought out, containing Chinese cabbage, lettuce, carrots, kohlrabi, cauliflower, coriander, celery, garlic sprouts, spinach...
"Yan Yan, why are you giving us so many dishes at once? Don't even think about how we don't need to buy food for the New Year. If you give us so much, your grandfather won't even need to buy food."
"Mom, if you can't finish it, you can give some to grandpa."
"Okay, thank you."
Lu Ting took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Lingling, "Mom, use this money to buy some new clothes for the New Year."
Su Yan glanced at Lu Ting. Did this guy hide some private money after selling goods last night?
He must have thought about his parents spending all their savings to buy a house and marry off their son. Normally, giving ten or twenty dollars as a token of appreciation would be enough, but he gave two hundred dollars at once. What a generous gesture!
Jiang Lingling refused to take the money. "You should take it back. We've already taken advantage of you by taking so many of your things. We'll save up enough money to pay you back the thousand yuan we owe you after your second brother gets married."
"Mom, you don't have to pay that money back. Just consider it as a gift from your son-in-law and I. Keep these two hundred yuan. Why don't you buy new clothes for the New Year? You and Dad can each buy a new cotton-padded jacket so that you can show your face when you go to pay New Year's greetings."
Lu Ting agreed, "Mom, take this money. Yanyan and I don't lack it. My aunt has to go back for the New Year, so we have to leave now."
Lu Ting put the money back on the table, held his son in his arms, took Su Yan to open the door and left. Jiang Lingling really didn't know what to say. They must have done a lot of good deeds in their previous life to have met such a good daughter and son-in-law in this life.
