He just didn't know how to wrap it. He fiddled with it for a long time but couldn't wrap it properly. He kept groaning, "I just don't believe it. I can carry things on my shoulders, in my hands, and even carry a gun, but I can't wrap these things properly?"
Xu Danhua was stunned by her: "It's too much, just take a little, it's tiring for both of us to carry so many things!"
"Don't worry, I can't let you carry it. I've got it hanging on my shoulders and carrying it in my hands, and I still can't handle it?" Zhang Hechen said, not wanting to burden her. "These are local specialties. They're not high-end, but they're pretty good. We'll go to the department store tomorrow and buy some high-end stuff, and we'll be done!"
"Buy more!" Xu Danhua objected strongly. "We don't need any high-end stuff. My grandfather and his family really hate extravagance and waste. Just take some local specialties!"
"Is it true?" Zhang Hechen expressed some hesitation. He knew that many elders were very frugal and simple, and especially hated extravagance and waste. If Mr. Xu was like that, then he could just prepare local specialties, right?
"Really? Why would I lie to you?" Xu Danhua held his forehead. "You've already wasted so much. It's too much."
Zhang Hechen laughed: "It's okay to tell our grandfather that this is a village thing. It doesn't cost much, but they just don't know how to package it. What should I do?"
"You do it yourself. I don't know how to pack this kind of thing." Xu Danhua was helpless. She had loved wielding swords and guns since she was a child, and she didn't know how to do these.
But she was very happy in her heart. Seeing with her own eyes how carefully the man prepared the gift, the feeling was indescribable. She was just very happy.
"Big brother has collected so many things!" Zhang Hewu walked into the house and saw them, and was delighted. "These are all for everyone to eat."
"Yes, it's a specialty!" Zhang Hechen nodded. "Wu Zi, can you package it beautifully?"
"No." Zhang Hewu shook his head. "Go ask the aunties in the village. They probably will."
Zhang Hechen's eyes lit up and he stood up to call his aunts.
The village aunts heard that Zhang Hechen was going to meet his parents-in-law. It was a good thing, a big deal, maybe even an engagement, so they rushed over to help. Although the aunts weren't from the city, they knew how to wrap things. They usually did small handicrafts, making snacks and even clothes. They were very skillful, so this wasn't difficult!
With the help of the aunts, the things were packed quickly. At the end, they also took some local specialties for themselves, which were also packed!
Zhang Hechen didn't even have a chance to refuse, because everyone just dropped it and ran away!
"This... these aunts are so kind!" Zhang Hechen hadn't been back home much before and had never seen such a situation. He hadn't known how much the villagers loved and appreciated the Zhang siblings, sending them whatever snacks they made for the holidays and then running off.
However, Zhang Hewu told Luo Darong that they couldn't live like this, as it would not be good for Rong Ya.
Gradually, the villagers sent less and less gifts, and only sent a little occasionally.
But this time, when they heard that Zhang Hechen was going to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, they also wanted to help. After all, they were all local specialties, either from the mountains, rivers, or fields. They didn't spend any money, so they just stuffed them in and ran away.
Zhang Hewu said helplessly, "That's just how the villagers are. Take these. Once the house is built, just treat everyone to a meal!"
When the time comes, let the whole village come, bring the old and the children, and have a lively meal together!
"Okay, I'll pay for it!" Zhang Hechen was happy. This village was really nice. Compared to the smoky and chaotic Zhangjia Village, everyone here was really nice.
