However, this kind of thing cannot be envied.
They came with a thank-you gift and wanted to invite them to lunch, but Zheng Wei and his wife refused.
In the minds of Zheng Wei and his wife, others have done them a favor, so if they want to have a meal, they should treat them. How could they eat other people's food?
Moreover, the people living in this remote mountain area must have a hard life, and they cannot eat other people's food rations.
They brought quite a lot of things. An Hongdou kept some of them and added some fruits stored in the space and some bacon pickled at home as return gifts for them.
However, Zhou Qing only accepted the wild fruits that An Hongdou said were picked from the mountains. He refused to take the others and was unwilling to take back the things they brought.
An Hongdou was helpless and could only pack a basket full of peaches and grapes for them, and add some other wild fruits.
Shen Xiangzhi and Mr. Shen sent them out of the village. An Hongdou was worried about the children at home, so she came back as soon as she saw them leave the gate.
There were originally a lot of children at home, but now they have all run away. Only An Changzheng and An Changyue are still there, cleaning up the mess in the living room.
As soon as An Hongdou entered the room, she heard An Changyue ask, "Aunt, who are they? They brought a lot of things. Do you want to see where they are stored?"
At the beginning, An Changyue didn't dare to touch things at home, because when he was at home, the things were kept by Old Lady An, and no one dared to touch them without her permission.
It can't be considered harsh, but there is too little food and too many people. If we are not careful, we may have to eat well in the first half of the year and starve in the second half.
After coming to An Hongdou's place, she no longer took these things seriously and ate and drank more casually. Only then did An Changyue gradually become bolder.
"Then let me take a look." An Hongdou walked over to check. These things had to be written down. After all, they didn't put in much effort, but people gave them so many things. It was all a favor. If they had the chance in the future, they could make it up to them.
After seeing it, An Hongdou couldn't help but sigh that this family was really generous.
It also shows that he is not short of money.
Fortunately, the child went back first. Not to mention the character of Wang Meng and his wife, just taking their family conditions as an example, these are two extremes.
The environment in which other people's children grow up in their own homes is definitely not something that Wang Meng and his wife can afford, not to mention that the couple are still in prison now.
An Hongdou looked at the things in front of her: a large piece of pork that was so fat that it was oozing with oil, which was considered the best meat in that era. The net bag contained two canned foods and two cans of malted milk, four fried fruits wrapped in oil paper, two bags of brown sugar, a large bag of White Rabbit milk candies, and a cloth bag filled with half a bag of rice.
An Hongdou took out the meat and rice and handed them to An Changyue, "Changyue, you and your brother should put this in the kitchen first, put the rice in the cupboard, and hang the meat in a basket first to prevent it from being destroyed by mice."
After An Changyue and his sister left, she took out a can of malted milk and asked An Changzheng to deliver it to Old Lady An, and left the other can for Old Man Shen. As for the remaining fried fruits, candies, and canned food, she left them at home for anyone to take.
When Mr. Shen came back and saw all the things on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh: "This little guy is also a lucky one. Fortunately, he returned to his own home, otherwise he would have been hurt by that couple."
These gifts of thanks are secondary. It just shows that the Zheng couple are decent people and Mr. Zheng is also a kind person.
An Hongdou just handed the malted milk to Mr. Shen, "Grandpa, there are exactly two cans of malted milk. I asked Changzheng to take one back to my mother, and I'll keep this one for you to replenish your body."
"I'm in good health, so I don't need this. Keep it for you. You should take good care of your body." This gave the Shen family three children at once. One could imagine how much damage this would do to their bodies.
An Hongdou smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry."
An Hongdou forced the thing into Mr. Shen's hands.
There is not only baby formula in her space, but also plenty of adult formula.
I originally wanted to nourish the old man's body, but I never thought of a reason to do so. Now, I'll just give him the malted milk.
The old man helplessly went out with the malted milk in his arms. He could afford to buy this stuff if he wanted to drink it, but there was an obvious difference between what he bought himself and what his grandson's wife gave him as a gift.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Shen Xiangzhi walked up and hugged her directly from behind, his tone was so sticky, "Wife, others have one, what about mine?"
"Yours?" An Hongdou didn't react to what he meant for a moment.
Until his kiss landed on her face, his tone was even more malicious, "If you have divided it all, I don't mind you giving me something else to compensate me."
An Hongdou smiled even more maliciously, turned her face to avoid his kiss, pulled his hand away with one hand, turned around, and said softly: "I'll keep yours for you."
"What?" Of course, what Chen Xiangzhi wanted couldn't be ordinary food.
An Hongdou answered him, "There's a big piece of fat meat in the kitchen. I asked Changzheng and Changyue to hang it in a basket. It's just right. You should boil it into oil quickly. It's so hot. I'm afraid it will stink."
Shen Xiangzhi: “…”
The muddy thoughts in my heart were instantly shattered.
"You really love me." Shen Xiangzhi went to the kitchen helplessly and called her over to light the fire in revenge.
The fatty pork was cut into small pieces and put into the pot, making a sizzling sound.
An Hongdou asked Chen Xiangzhi, "Have you asked Comrade Zheng where he lives? He gave us so many things, and I feel embarrassed. When we have time, we should return the favor."
Gifts should be exchanged. No matter how expensive they are, they are at least a token of thought.
“I asked…” Shen Xiangzhi answered while busying himself with the actions in his hands.
Zheng Wei's identity is not ordinary. He is the director of the garment factory in the town. His wife also used to work in the factory, but after the birth of this baby, the child's health was not very good, so she retired from the job.
Come to think of it, it’s quite a pity.
Work is very valuable these days. It is easy to give it up, but it is difficult to get it back.
However, Shen Xiangzhi thought about it and said, "The couple came here because they felt that the child was found thanks to our reminder to the police. We also took the things, so this affection is offset. In my opinion, forget about the return gift. If we meet again in the future, just nod and say hello. There is no need to interact more."
This obvious avoidance made An Hongdou's heart skip a beat, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with them?"
She felt that the couple was a good couple.
