Chapter 185 Opening Gifts

"Are you stupid? Jiang's Snack Shop is owned by his family! When have you ever seen a waiter be able to send so many things? What's Tongmu's last name?"

Meng Bujiu had an expression of disgust on his face.

Having such an idiot friend is the biggest stain in his life.

"Tongmu, yes! Tongmu's surname is Jiang. Oh, I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think that Jiang's Snack Shop was opened by your family? Why didn't you tell us before?"

Kong Mingxue suddenly realized.

"How dare I? What if you two destroy my shop?"

Jiang Tongmu said something in a weird tone.

He rolled his eyes at the two of them.

"Hey, let's not talk about the past. From now on, I, Kong Mingxue, am your real brother! By the way, next time when the school is on break, take me to the backyard of your shop to play."

Kong Mingxue kept pestering Jiang Tongmu.

A dark light flashed in his eyes.

No one found.

"Take one with me." Meng Bujiu said while eating meat cakes and barbecued dumplings.

"Okay, okay, but I have to ask my grandma and get her consent."

Jiang Tongmu was helpless.

The three of them sat together.

It tastes delicious.

The noise in the house suddenly disappeared.

All that was left were the sounds of chewing and smacking.

In the evening, the clouds filled the sky like cakes.

The sunset in the west spread larger and larger, like a piece of cloth covering half the sky, and the clouds were dyed light pink.

At this time, Jiang Siyin and the Jiang family arrived at the door at the same time.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I'll give you an extra five cents. Be careful on your way back."

Jiang Siyin took out his money bag, counted the copper coins and handed them to the groom.

"Thank you for your gift, sir." The groom was very happy.

The carriage was not his.

He was just a poor man who worked as a rickshaw driver for a horse shop owner.

The extra five cents were assumed to be his.

Whoever is held back will be unhappy.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong moved the things from the carriage and put them in the yard.

After the carriage left, the Jiang family's door closed.

"Hey, why are these peaches so big and soft when you pinch them? Each time you pinch them, they leave a handprint." Sun Pingmei exclaimed when she opened one of the packages.

"Yes, it's as big as my fist. Eryong, come and take a look at what kind of peach this is." Jiang Dahe asked Jiang Eryong, the second most knowledgeable person in the family.

"No, Dad, do you know?" Jiang Eryong shrugged.

The whole family could only look to Jiang Shoujia, who had the most insight.

"This should be the soft peach from Jiangnan. It's not as sour as the crisp peaches here. I heard it's big and sweet, and the skin comes off easily. You don't need to eat it with the skin on."

Jiang Shoujia really knows him.

"Grandpa is so great, how come you know everything? An old person in the family is like a treasure, and Grandpa is our treasure—" Jiang Fubao trotted over, hugged his grandpa's legs, and flattered him.

Jiang Shoujia, who was praised, stroked his beard, his face seemingly calm.

In fact, there was a look of great pride in his eyes.

He picked up his granddaughter.

He rubbed her cheek with his beard.

Soft.

As soft as freshly made rice cake.

Jiang Shoujia's heart was about to melt.

Jiang Fubao was rubbed by her grandfather's beard, which made her feel itchy. She giggled, and the sound was as clear as a bell.

"From Jiangnan? Oh, it's not that close. It must be very expensive. Madam Yun is really generous. She gave us a big bag of such expensive peaches. I counted them and there are about thirty of them. Four silver coins, you shouldn't have taken them. How can someone who gives gifts get more things back than the gifts he gave away?"

Zhang Jinlan squatted down and counted the peaches. She looked at her younger son with a reproachful look.

"Mom, don't blame him. Siyin isn't as strong as Eryong and I. He was probably forced into the carriage by the Fang family. He couldn't refuse."

Jiang Dahe knows his younger brother best.

He helped Jiang Siyin out of trouble.

"Well, the Fang family is very enthusiastic. Madam Yun asked the maids and servants to stuff a lot of things into my carriage. Otherwise, how about giving them some watermelons next time?"

Jiang Siyin knew that what he did was wrong.

He said weakly.

"It's the only way. But we can't do it too often, otherwise the Fang family will think there are a lot of watermelons. If they send people to the town to buy them, we'll be exposed."

Zhang Jinlan unpacked two more packages.

A box filled with clothes for girls, ranging from three to six or seven years old. They were all very new. There were summer, spring, autumn and winter clothes. They seemed to have never been worn. Except that they had been displayed for too long and the colors were a little dull, they looked exactly like new.

All the materials are extremely expensive.

Either satin or brocade.

There are also gauze blouses that are as thin as a cicada's wing.

If you buy them in a clothing store, the cheapest one would probably cost more than ten or twenty taels per set.

Zhang Jinlan didn't even dare to touch it. Her hands were cracked from long hours of farm work, and she thought the gauze would be torn if she touched it.

When the other package was opened, it was full of books.

Jiang Fubao stretched his head and looked, there were more than twenty books.

She flipped through a few books at random and found that they were all handwritten.

In addition to the enlightenment books, there were some that she had never heard of.

It is estimated that it is difficult to buy in the market.

The handwriting is beautiful and it is obvious that it was written by a woman.

Then I thought of Aunt Yun who liked reading.

Jiang Fubao guessed that these books were probably copied by Auntie Yun herself.

Jiang Fubao was stunned by this thoughtfulness.

"Oh my god, these gifts are too expensive."

Ever since I took Jiang Tongmu to the bookstore.

The Jiang family now knows how valuable books are.

Zhu Yingqiu also sighed.

"Oh, mother, Madam Yun named Lai Di and the others Ruyi and Huanyue, which means peace and happiness, and happiness every year. I think they sound nice."

Jiang Siyin suddenly remembered something important.

He said hurriedly.

"It does sound nice. Well, I can't repay the favors I owe you. Forget it. Take it. If you have anything good in the future, send one to Chang'an Town. There is a huge gap between our family and the Fang family. I'm afraid they won't appreciate what we have. I guess it's because you said that my family hasn't read much that Madam Yun sent this gift.

When Deng Mu comes back, let him take all the books and read them. When he has learned something, he can teach us. Don't just let the children learn, the adults should learn it too. Then everyone in our family will be able to read, and it will be worthy of Madam Yun's kindness. Also, from now on, you are not allowed to call me by my dead sister's name. Just change it to the name given by Madam Yun."

Zhang Jinlan sighed.

The Jiang family study team has thus grown stronger.

After dinner.

Zhang Jinlan asked her granddaughters to come into the house to choose clothes.

Jiang Fubao likes pink.

Jiang Ruyi likes blue.

Jiang Huanyu is not picky and likes all bright colors.

The three of them divided the clothes and happily took them back to their own rooms.

The two sisters Ruyi already have their own rooms.

It is Jiang Tongxiang’s house.

He is still young and sleeps with his brother Jiang Tongji.

Jiang Fubao once again had his own room.

"Children, the peaches have been washed and cooled down, come out and eat them--"

Second aunt's voice echoed outside the house.

Jiang Fubao threw the clothes in his hands onto the bed and ran out with his short legs.

How can clothes smell like peaches?
