Chi Lin stood up and said, "Aunt, Dongmei and I should go back now."
"I'll make you one once I learn how to make a dressing table."
Chi Yu knew that this day couldn't be delayed, otherwise the sun would get bigger and the temperature would rise.
Hearing Chi Lin's words, she replied, "Okay, then Auntie will wait."
But don't rush off, wait for me.
After saying that, she went into the kitchen again.
When he came back, he was holding a book in one hand and a basket in the other.
She handed the book to Chi Lin first, saying, "Ah Lin, this book is about carpentry."
"Your uncle specially found this for you when he was in the prefectural city."
After saying that, he handed the basket to Qiu Dongmei.
"Dongmei, your aunt knows that Alin has been eating and sleeping at your house all this time."
These are from your aunt to your parents. Please give them my regards when you see them.
When Qiu Dongmei watched the fish in the pond talk, she even lifted the lid.
Upon seeing that the room was filled with cornbread, I felt somewhat lost again.
Although it's not made from wheat flour, it's still grain.
There must be at least five or six in this basket.
The steamed buns they made were even bigger than the ones my aunt had served earlier.
If we eat these sparingly, they're enough for the whole family to have two or three meals.
How could she possibly accept it at that moment?
Because of this, Qiu Dongmei said with a shy expression:
“Auntie, you mustn’t. Although Brother Lin is staying at our house, he brought his own food.”
You could even say that their family is now able to eat two meals a day, each of which they can eat until they are about 60-70% full, all thanks to Brother Lin.
How could she be so shameless in this situation?
Chi Yu shoved the basket into her hands: "Take it, don't be polite with your aunt!"
Qiu Dongmei looked at the basket in her hand, then turned to look at Chi Lin.
Chi Lin held the book as if he had received some rare treasure.
His smile was exceptionally bright, feeling that among all his nephews, his aunt loved him the most.
He carefully tucked the book into his arms and then looked at Qiu Dongmei.
When she saw the large steamed buns in the basket, her eyes suddenly began to redden.
The aunt must have been worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat while he was learning his craft at his in-laws' house, so she specially sent him these things.
He must learn the skills quickly so he can be even more filial to his aunt in the future!
With these thoughts in mind, he looked at Qiu Dongmei with a slightly nasal tone.
“Master Shen said, ‘One should not refuse a gift from an elder,’ Dongmei, you should take it!”
Since the man had spoken, Qiu Dongmei had no choice but to accept the gifts.
When the young couple finally left, Chi Lin carried the two buckets of water with a determined look on his face.
Walking beside him, Qiu Dongmei carried a basket of cornbread, her steps unsteady, her head spinning.
Before going down the mountain, her mother secretly said that Brother Lin's big wooden bucket could be sold for a lot of money and exchanged for a lot of grain.
There were some reservations about Ah Lin's intention to give this to his aunt.
Her father said that one should have a long-term perspective.
Her father also said that her aunt was a capable person and that it would not do any harm to befriend her.
Putting everything else aside, just this time when my aunt came back, she sent them holiday gifts before she even got home.
Pastries, rice, and flour are things that these newly settled people can't get their hands on.
She only came here to get water, but she didn't expect to end up eating and taking things away.
As expected, Brother Lin was right.
His sister-in-law is the person in this world who treats him better than his parents-in-law.
From now on, she must also be a good daughter-in-law!
