Chapter 159 Gift

Zhao wanted to die. Although her sister-in-law had no problem with math, she might not be able to learn to keep accounts. She moved her mouth but did not dare to refute. "Mom, I will try my best to teach my sister-in-law."

I haven't said enough. If she really can't teach me, then it's my sister-in-law's fault.

Li felt that Zhao was scheming and was always looking for opportunities to step on her. "Mom, I will definitely keep a record of every account."

I will never let my younger siblings outdo me!

Zhulan looked at Li silently, and suddenly realized that it was good for Li to replenish her brain. If she imagined that Zhao was targeting her every day, Li would be extra motivated, and it would be easy for her to educate Li. No wonder those in power like to play a balancing act, and pulling someone up can make people motivated better than suppressing them!

Zhulan asked, "Have you counted all the gifts I brought back?"

Li was not good at keeping accounts, but he had a very good memory for food and things he used. "Two rolls of summer cloth, eight servings of snacks, six jars of wine, ten kilograms of marinated meat, five pairs of embroidered women's cloth shoes, five pairs of men's cloth shoes, and two cloaks."

Li looked at the gifts carefully and found that there was no gift for her family. Then she remembered that every time her mother went out, she would bring gifts for each room. This time she didn't bring any. She didn't know if her mother was dissatisfied with her. She felt it was wrong. If her mother was dissatisfied with her, she was very satisfied with her younger brother and sister-in-law. It couldn't be that her younger brother and sister-in-law also didn't get anything!

Zhulan really didn't forget, but she had just given hairpins to Li and Zhao, and she couldn't bring gifts too often, so she didn't buy any. It wouldn't be good to be too used to it.

As for the gifts brought back, most of them were for Zhulan's parents. Dad and Mom's birthdays are in the same month, and they are going to celebrate together this year. Zhulan took advantage of what her original self said about being the biological parents, and she has always been grateful for the financial support from her parents. This time, it was her parents' birthdays in early June, and Zhou Shuren became a scholar again. Her family also had a considerable foundation, so naturally she wanted to make her parents proud.

Zhulan prepared six gifts, including cloth to make clothes for the old couple, cloaks for winter, shoes, a firecracker, a set of gold jewelry, and a birthday bag.

The snacks I brought back this time were bought from Wang Ru's store. The soft and glutinous cakes are more suitable for the elderly. The wine was medicinal wine bought by Zhao Bo, specially for my father.

Zhulan took the expensive jewelry and cigarette holder to the bedroom when she returned.

Zhulan called the eldest brother, took three snacks, five catties of beef, and six bottles of medicinal wine and put them on the ox cart, "Send them to your grandfather's house, and tell him that the wine is specially made for his leg. Don't drink more than one glass after dinner every day."

Boss Zhou carefully stuffed the wine into the straw mat, "Mom, I'll remember that."

Zhulan brought another snack, a pound of braised pork, to Li, "Take it back to your parents' home and tell your grandmother that you will visit her when you have time."

Li was very happy. No one would say anything if she didn't see her mother off when she came back from a trip. Giving her a gift would give her face. "Thank you, mother."

Her mother-in-law still cared about her. When she thought about how her younger brother and sister-in-law didn't even have a mother's home, she straightened her back even more.

Zhao simply ignored her sister-in-law's bragging. If she had argued with her sister-in-law about everything, she would have been angry to death. She was stupid to pay attention to her sister-in-law.

I took out two of the remaining four snacks and two pounds of marinated pork. I will deliver them to the eldest daughter's house when the eldest son comes back. The main purpose is to send a signal to the eldest daughter that she and Zhou Shuren are back, and you can prepare to rent a house and move in.

Zhulan held the cloth and gave the rest to Zhao. There was more than a month left, and Zhulan had to make two sets of clothes and sew, so she was in a hurry.

At noon, Ming Qing came home to look for Zhu Lan, "Auntie, the family has prepared food, I'm here to invite you over for dinner."

Zhu Lan responded, "Okay, you go back first, I'll be there in a minute."

"Auntie, my nephew is leaving now."

"kindness."

The clan leader learned from Ming Qing that Zhou Shuren had taken good care of Ming Qing, so he specially invited him to dinner, firstly to express his gratitude, and secondly to deepen the relationship between the two families.

Zhulan put the cut cloth away, changed her clothes and took the hairpin before going to the clan leader's house.

Now Zhou Shuren is a scholar. She heard Li talking about it and knew that everyone in the village was shocked to know that Zhou Shuren had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

Zhulan felt the envy and jealousy as she walked on the road in the village. People complimented Zhulan with such sour tone, but they still had to smile at Zhulan. Zhulan felt so relieved. Don't think she was broad-minded. She would get tired of hearing too many harsh words.

Zhulan passed by Wang Zhang's house. When Wang Zhang saw Zhulan, she pulled the corners of her stiff mouth. She wanted to speak but felt too suffocated. Finally, Wang Zhang quickly returned to the house.

Zhulan looked at the Wang family. Wang Zhang had often taken money from Wang Laosi, and the family even bought a cow. Zhulan thought of the shop under Wang Ru's name, and guessed that Wang Ru didn't even know that she had any business under her name!

Arriving at the clan leader's house, Zhulan was warmly welcomed into the courtyard. Zhou Wang held Zhulan's hand and said, "I have heard Mingqing say that Mingqing is completely dependent on you and Shuren for taking care of him. I would like to thank you and your wife here. Our whole family will remember this kindness."

Zhou Wang's eldest daughter-in-law, Ming Qing's mother, never closed her mouth, "If my brother and sister-in-law need anything in the future, just ask, I will definitely help without hesitation."

Zhulan said no without hesitation, "Okay, I will remember what my aunt and sister-in-law said, and I won't play tricks when the time comes."

Zhou Wang's smile deepened, "We are all real relatives. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. We will never cheat."

Mrs. Zhou Wang heard from the old man that Zhou Shuren not only took care of Mingqing with food, but also took Mingqing to socialize and helped Mingqing get to know many people. If Mingqing calmed down for a few years, he might really pass the exam and become a royal examiner. By then, their family would also have a royal examiner, and their descendants would have changed.
