Chapter 381 Aren’t You a Fool?
Mrs. Hu touched the material of the clothes and looked up at her.
“Isn’t this dress expensive?”
Zhang stood up first. "No matter how expensive it is, since Tang'er has already bought the things, it's all his love. Dad and mom, try them on. If they don't fit, my sister-in-law and I can help alter them."
As she spoke, she began to take off Hu's coat.
Seeing this, Jiang rushed forward to help.
Mrs. Hu allowed her two daughters-in-law to take off her outer clothes and put on the new clothes that Song Yuntang bought for her.
"I'm just worried about the children spending money. Mom is already so old, and I don't know how long she can live. I'm afraid these good things will be wasted."
"Puh, puh, puh!" Zhang said angrily, "It's New Year's Day, mother, please stop saying these unlucky words."
Hu smiled gently.
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore."
Jiang fastened the last button for her and stood a little further away to look at her. "It really fits her perfectly."
Zhang also nodded and said, "That's perfect. We don't need to change it anymore."
On the side, Xu Yuande also changed into new clothes with the help of several grandchildren.
The fabric of the clothes is comfortable and lightweight. When I put them on, I suddenly felt my back straighten up and I felt a lot more relaxed.
He lowered his head to look at the clothes he was wearing, and from time to time he stroked the fabric of the clothes with his hands.
“This dress is really nice.”
Xu Yongwang looked at him.
"Dad is dressed quite smartly. He looks at least 20 years younger."
Xu Yuande raised his head and said, "You little brat, you are 20 years younger now. Do I have to call you brother?"
Xu Yongwang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands after he realized what was happening.
"Dad, don't yell at me. I don't deserve to be called your brother."
Seeing this, the people in the room burst into laughter again.
Afterwards, Song Yuntang took out some small gifts from his bag and distributed them to everyone.
They are not expensive little things, they are just a token of my appreciation.
Hu'er got a small unsharpened dagger and stopped bothering Gouzi. He started waving it around the house, making "hehe-ho-ha" noises.
For a moment, the room was bustling with activity.
At noon, the meal at home was very rich.
Chicken, mutton, pork, and fish were all available, plus the radishes and cabbages harvested from the fields. After being processed by Zhang's skillful hands, the table was filled with delicious food.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal.
…
After finishing their meal, Xu Yongwang and Jiang took their family back home after putting everything in the old house away.
We will still come to the old house for dinner later in the evening.
This is a tacit understanding formed among the family. Although they have separated, the family always gets together to eat and drink around the Chinese New Year.
Although the food in previous years was not as sumptuous as this year.
But as long as the family is together, they will be happy even if they have to eat coarse food.
After Song Yuntang got home, he took out the clothes he had made for Jiang and Xu Yongwang.
"Dad, Mom, these two sets of clothes are yours. They are also filled with silk cotton. Try them on."
"And this." She took out two more boxes from her bag. "This is the blood-nourishing pills for mom, and this is the ginseng pills for dad."
Xu Yongwang looked at the box in his hand.
"It's fine to give it to your mother, but why do I get a share too? This ginseng pill is not cheap, right?"
"Dad forgot?" Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile, "Dad gave me a ginseng before, and this ginseng pill is made with that ginseng. You can't eat too much at a time, just this small box. After you finish it, I will make it for Dad next winter."
Xu Yongwang scratched his head.
"Originally I gave you the ginseng to exchange for silver for your business, but now you are giving it back to me."
"There is no end to making money. My parents are in good health and that reduces our burden. Dad just needs to eat. I can still afford to give him one ginseng a year."
Song Yuntang said this and turned back to the house.
Seeing his daughter-in-law being so filial, Xu Yongwang couldn't stop laughing. He looked at Jiang and said, "See, the girl is more considerate than the brat."
"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang glanced at him with a smile, "Everyone has had a hard time this year, so don't tell anyone about it this time, lest others get jealous."
"I know. I've been keeping my mouth shut these days." He put the ginseng pill in Jiang's hand and said, "Wife, keep this for me. We can eat it together later."
I have no objection to taking Jiang in.
"Since Tang'er gave you the ginseng pills, just take them. I have the blood-nourishing pills, which is enough."
After taking blood-nourishing pills for a period of time, her complexion has indeed improved a lot. These days, the old ladies in the village all praise her for looking younger.
When Song Yuntang returned to the room, Xu Qingye had already heated the kang.
"The kang has just been heated up, so it may take a while for it to warm up. If you feel cold, you can lie down on the bed first. Mother has already changed the bedding into thicker ones."
Song Yuntang smiled and put his things away one by one.
"I just finished my meal, so I don't feel cold. Let me pack our luggage first."
There were not enough empty rooms at home, so Nian'er and Xia Ning were temporarily placed in the old house. After the New Year, they had to add a few more rooms at home.
My parents-in-law and grandparents all live here, and they come back to stay several times a year. It would be more convenient if their own house was more spacious.
Xu Qingye stepped forward.
"I'll go with you."
After they packed up their things, Song Yuntang lay down directly on the bed.
"After so much trouble, I can finally take a few days off. I wonder if anything will happen at the clinic."
Xu Qingye had a faint smile on his face.
"Just take a good rest these few days. Doctor Sun and Doctor Zhou are both doctors with many years of practice. There will be no problem in just a few days."
Song Yuntang nodded.
"I hope so."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Brother and sister-in-law, can I come in and warm myself up?"
The two were stunned and hadn't reacted yet. They just looked at each other, and Song Yuntang quickly sat up from the bed.
Perhaps Jiang heard the noise and hurried out of the house.
"You little brat, you're stupid, aren't you?"
Xu Wencheng was puzzled.
"Mom, there's no heating in my room, it's cold."
Jiang glanced at him.
"If you're cold, wrap yourself in a blanket and don't bother your brother and sister-in-law."
Xu Wencheng scratched his head and said, "In previous winters, the kang in my eldest brother's room was always burning. Didn't our family gather in it?"
"Oh my! Why did I give birth to such a fool like you?"
Jiang grabbed his ear and went to the main room, educating her son in a low voice.
"Can previous years be the same as this year? Your elder brother and his wife are married now, what's wrong with you going to their house? If you disturb your brother and his wife's time together, when will your mother and your father be able to hold their grandchildren? You will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, and you will be old enough to get married in two years, and you don't even understand this?"
