"Father, Mother, here are two bolts of cloth that I bought for you too. You can use them to make yourselves a couple of outfits!"
These fabrics were collected by Lin Xue from other worlds; their colors are rather dark, which is quite suitable for ordinary people in this era.
"Sister-in-law, I bought you a pair of liberation shoes and a silk scarf!"
Lin Xue picked out two pairs of liberation shoes and placed them on one side of the table, then took out two silk scarves and placed them on top of the liberation shoes.
As for the color of the scarf, let the two sisters-in-law decide for themselves.
The gifts for Gu Laoda and Gu Laoer were also a pair of liberation shoes, plus a leather belt.
The younger members of the Gu family each received two hair ornaments and two hair ties for the girls. Each boy received a slingshot and two leather straps to tie it.
Because of these gifts, the Gu family's attitude towards Lin Xue underwent a complete 180-degree change.
Especially the two sisters-in-law, who used to find Lin Xue an eyesore no matter how they looked at her.
But now that Lin Xue has gone back to her parents' home, she still remembers to bring them such expensive gifts. The two sisters-in-law have begun to reflect on their own behavior.
After all, the third son's family are city dwellers. It's perfectly normal that they don't know how to do farm work and don't like doing housework!
Unlike those two sisters-in-law, who grew up in the countryside and were used to doing these things.
In the future, I should be more tolerant of my third brother and sister-in-law!
After all, in this day and age, who would give a silk scarf as a gift? It's a rare find.
After the gifts were distributed, everyone happily took their gifts and returned to their own rooms.
Lin Xue gave the elderly couple the remaining candies, pastries, brown sugar, white sugar, several canned goods, and some cured meat and salted fish from the package.
She then took her two children back to the house.
The Gu family had a clear view of how much stuff Gu Heping and Lin Xue brought back in the evening.
Lin Xue has already taken out two large bundles of things to distribute, which has surprised and delighted the Gu family.
She had several bundles of things with her, and although they didn't know what they were, the Gu family members wisely stopped paying attention to them.
However, from then on, the old lady became more and more efficient in picking up the eggs each time.
The old lady was somewhat unhappy about having an egg boiled for Lin Xue every day before.
After all, even the kids in the family wouldn't dare eat like that!
Now that he has benefited from Lin Xue's kindness, his displeasure has vanished.
Back in the room, Lin Xue asked Gu Heping to fetch some water so that the two children could wash up.
He then took out the items from those bundles one by one and put them away neatly.
Inside the two large bundles were two large quilts, each weighing 8 jin (approximately 4 catties).
There was also a bundle containing cotton-padded clothes and trousers.
Lin Xue bought the items for Gu Heping and the two children based on the original owner's memories.
The remaining two smaller packages contained malted milk powder, pastries, candies, and cookies.
Lin Xue put all the food and supplies into the cabinet in the room and locked it.
She plans to use these items as rewards for the children's regular studies.
As Gu Heping watched Lin Xue take things out one by one, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
You see, these past few days, he had been wondering in his heart whether Lin Xue had found another man and abandoned him and his two sons.
Thinking about the prosperity of Suzhou and then about the backwardness of his own village, Gu Heping really felt uncertain.
He had already made up his mind: if Lin Xue didn't return in another half month, he would personally go to Suzhou to look for her!
Seeing his wife return safe and sound, Gu Heping was overjoyed.
Even though his wife still didn't want to do anything when she came back, Gu Heping felt at ease as long as Lin Xue was at home.
When it was almost time for bed, Grandma Gu took the two children to their room.
The two children were already asleep, so Gu Heping personally helped carry them over.
Watching the mother and son's retreating figures, Lin Xue couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She had lived in two different worlds, but neither of them had ever been as impatient as that scoundrel Gu Heping!
the next day.
The Gu family members got up early as usual, some cooking and others going to work.
Lin Xue heard the noise when Gu's eldest sister-in-law opened the door, but unfortunately she didn't want to get up and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
Anyway, she doesn't have to go to work, and she doesn't have to get up early like other people.
Although the adults went to work, the children at home were still a bit noisy.
Lin Xue couldn't sleep anymore. When she got up, she checked the time; it was 6:50 a.m.
It's really not easy to get up early!
"Third son's wife, where are you going so early in the morning? You haven't eaten yet."
Just as Grandma Gu was heating up Lin Xue's food in the pot, she saw Lin Xue push open the door and leave.
"I'm going to find Carpenter Ge to make something. I'll be back soon. Mother, just put my food back in the pot!"
Lin Xue shouted without turning her head, and then walked towards the carpenter Ge's house at the end of the village.
Is Uncle Ge home?
Carpenter Ge is the only carpenter in Gujia Village, and he is now nearly seventy years old.
It's understandable that older people don't work anymore, especially since they can earn a living with their skills.
"Oh, it's Heping's wife. What brings you here?"
Grandpa Ge had naturally heard about Lin Xue's return, so he wasn't surprised to see her.
"Uncle Ge, I've come to ask you to make something for me!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she told Carpenter Ge what the design of the small blackboard she wanted to make was.
