Long before setting off, everyone had already discussed the countermeasures.
The only person in Old Song's family who could have brought back this rice is Song Laoliu.
Therefore, it would be better to put the blame on Song Laoliu for this matter.
"You have a good son-in-law. Their boss gave them some rice, and I sent it back to you out of consideration for you."
Rather than being happy, Mrs. Duan even felt a little worried.
"There's a lot of it here. This rice is called soft gold. If you take it all back, it will be hard to explain to your mother-in-law, right?"
"Don't worry, the Song family still has it."
She would not lie to herself. Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
"Hey, it's good that you're thinking of me, but rice is precious. Even if you bring back a little more, you should keep it for yourself and eat it slowly. I can't help you with anything else, and you don't need to worry too much about it."
Duan Dinglan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mom, you're right, this time, I really have something to ask of you."
Old Mrs. Duan understood and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In fact, even if Duan Dinglan didn't give her anything, he would still help her if she had any difficulties.
What's more, she brought such a big bag of rice.
"We are mother and daughter, just say it."
"I want to use this bag of rice to exchange for the New Year's goods you bought this year."
Although Old Mrs. Song had told her not to exchange with her parents.
But she still didn't want to set this precedent, nor did she want to stand out in the family.
Since her sisters-in-law can change, she should also change.
"Why, home now?"
Duan Dinglan remained calm, holding her arm and acting coquettishly:
"You know the goods. This rice is so good, so you must have bought all of it. That's why the Song family didn't buy any other New Year goods."
Nowadays, rice is more expensive than meat.
How much did her daughter bring back for her?
Not to mention exchanging it, even if I were to sell it to her, she wouldn't suffer any loss at all.
"So that's what it is. Whatever you want to change, I'll change it for you."
The Duan family’s New Year’s goods happened to be placed in the room where they were chatting.
Duan Dinglan looked around and his target fell on the pieces of pork placed outside the window sill.
"I just got it back from your uncle a few days ago. Do you want to exchange it for this?"
"I mainly want to eat the buns you made."
She spoke tactfully, and Old Mrs. Duan also knew that the Song family had nothing else except the fine.
Therefore, when Duan Dinglan proposed it, she did not disagree.
Old Mrs. Duan used both large pieces of pork as stuffing.
The mother and daughter together made about a hundred meat buns.
Because he was worried about Xiaoqi, Duan Dinglan decided to rush back at night.
Before leaving, Old Lady Duan stopped the man with a cloth bag.
"I'm afraid there's not much spare money at home right now, right? And what about bartering? We're not into that kind of thing between mother and daughter. I'll just give you the price."
Duan Dinglan was startled and quickly stopped Old Lady Duan from taking out the money.
"Mom, what are you doing? This rice was originally given to you as a token of my filial piety."
"Mom is also an experienced person. You gave a lot of rice to our family. Your mother-in-law may not say anything, but she must be upset in her heart."
Duan Dinglan patted the back of her hand. Speaking of this matter, she said to Mrs. Duan with gratitude:
"Don't disbelieve me, my mother-in-law didn't come to you today to exchange goods for goods. She just wanted me to give this rice to you as a filial gift."
"I want to have a bite of the buns because you cook them so well. I've been craving them since I was a child, so during the New Year, I want everyone in the Song family to have a taste of them too."
There is no reason for my daughter to deceive me.
Old Mrs. Duan probably also felt the sincerity from her in-laws and sighed from the bottom of her heart:
"You have a very rare mother-in-law in this world. My daughter, you must cherish her and don't hurt her feelings."
"Don't worry."
After saying goodbye to Old Mrs. Duan, Duan Dinglan rushed back to the Song family overnight with a basket of buns.
On the way, we happened to meet the fourth and fifth daughters-in-law who were also returning, and we all returned together.
With such good rice, the exchange of New Year’s goods naturally went smoothly.
Everyone put all their things in Old Lady Song's room.
Since their family has not split up, things like New Year's goods naturally have to be prepared by the whole family together.
In this way, everyone can get more abundant New Year's goods.
But it was almost the middle of the night and Boss Song and his eldest daughter-in-law still hadn't returned home.
Old Mrs. Song couldn't eat a single bite of food and paced around the room anxiously.
Just waiting like this is not a solution, I was just about to go out and look for it.
It happened to start raining and snowing.
The sons refused to let the old lady leave the house no matter what.
"Why are you stopping me? Your brother and sister-in-law haven't come back yet, shouldn't you go out and look for them?"
The fifth daughter-in-law quickly advised:
"Mom, we should be the ones looking for him, not you. It's snowing outside, and the roads are slippery. If we accidentally fall there, will we be alive?"
As he was speaking, someone outside called out, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are back!"
Old Mrs. Song hurried to the yard to see.
As a result, the eldest son and his wife went straight into their room and refused to come out.
It was obvious that something had happened.
How could Old Mrs. Song feel at ease?
"Boss? You're back?"
There was a crackling sound in the room.
It seemed as if something had broken on the ground.
After a while, Boss Song's hoarse voice came from the room:
"Mom, we're back,"
After a pause, the voice sounded again: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."
Outside the door, Old Lady Song and Duan Dinglan looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes.
But no one knew what had happened, so no one dared to go to sleep.
Old Mrs. Song knocked on the door again: "Boss, is there something wrong?"
"……No."
"Then open the door."
Old Mrs. Song will not give up until she achieves her goal.
If she didn't see her eldest son today, she would definitely not go back to rest.
The people in the room really didn't want to open the door, and Old Mrs. Song was also stubbornly unwilling to leave, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
In desperation, Duan Dinglan, who came with Old Lady Song, had to speak up and act as a peacemaker.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm Ding Lan."
There was no sound in the house.
Duan Dinglan wasn't embarrassed at all and continued, "I brought back some buns from my mother's house. Would you and your sister-in-law like to try some?"
The eldest daughter-in-law's somewhat embarrassed voice rang out in the room:
"Thank you Ding Lan for remembering us, but we are both a little tired today, so let's forget it. You can just eat by yourselves."
