Chapter 103 Scented Bag
There was a lot of activity and everyone was having fun.
Cai Erfeng and his sister happened to come out, and when they saw him, they smiled.
"Oh, I almost forgot that Dad and Mom also prepared some small gifts for the four children. Come, little Yuanbao, these are given to you by your grandparents..."
She took out a few hand-embroidered sachets.
They didn't answer Xiao Yuanbao.
Cai refused and said, "No need, take it back."
"It's not a valuable thing. The sachet was embroidered by their grandmother. The embroidery is pretty good. Inside are a few copper plates, representing their ages. The ten copper plates are for Dabao, and the others are gifts from their parents. They are all from Dad's private savings. He said it was a gift for the children to celebrate their birthdays. The gift is small, but the sentiment is profound."
After hearing this, Cai's eyes turned red and she was no longer so determined to refuse.
She is always soft-hearted.
Erbao took the four sachets from Cai Erfeng and said, "Thank you very much, Grandma."
Cai Erfeng was overjoyed, "Well, I'll go back and tell your grandma that you guys should accept his kindness."
Cai Dashan drooled as he looked at the steamed buns in Xiao Yuanbao's hand. "Since you've appreciated my kindness, shouldn't you invite me to have a meal? This steamed bun smells so good..."
Cai had no expression on his face.
Cai Erfeng quickly pulled Cai Dashan away.
…
After everyone left, Xiao Yuanbao tiptoed to find Erbao, "Second brother, what did she give us? Let's take a look!"
Erbao handed these things to Cai and said, "Don't dirty your hands. Eat first."
"Okay!" The little kid continued to make a nest.
Cai put the sachets into her sleeve pocket.
"You're just eating dry glutinous rice cakes. Come on, go to the kitchen and drink the meat soup and porridge that your mother has left for you."
"Okay! Let's go drink the meat soup!" When the little kid heard about food, he didn't care about anything else.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
Mrs. Cai was really busy. After arranging for the children to eat their fill, she just ate a few bites of food and went back to work.
It was not until the afternoon, when I had finished cleaning and had a chance to rest, that I took out a few sachets and looked at them.
This was indeed embroidered by her mother. In her early years, her mother was a famous embroiderer in the town. The sachets she embroidered were solid and the patterns were rich.
The sachets contain varying amounts of copper coins.
Ten for Dabao, eight for Erbao, six for Sanbao, and four for Xiaoyuanbao.
Country people always use virtual age to calculate age.
The copper coin was rusty, as if it had been stored for a long time and bore traces of time.
Cai couldn't help but laugh.
This must really be the copper money her father saved.
She looked at it and put it away again.
Today's efficiency was also very high. The first wall of the house has been erected halfway. The progress was very fast. The weather was also good. It was sunny and there was no wind or snow.
If everything goes smoothly, the project will be completed in seven or eight days.
At night, the family washed up and went to bed.
A few cubs were chirping.
Talk about the big and small things that happened today.
Erbao talked about the visit of Cai Erfeng and Cai Dashan.
Dabao hurriedly asked what was going on.
Erbao briefly told the story, "He also said he brought us gifts, some sachets are with mother..."
Cai then remembered.
Take out the sachet.
Distribute them to the children, "This is a token of love from your grandparents..."
Dabao frowned. He was still saying yesterday that he had nothing to do with the Cai family anymore.
Today is grandma, grandma.
It seems that Cai Erfeng who came today has good eloquence and has softened my mother's heart.
Dabao didn't blame Cai, because Cai was a kind-hearted person.
He took the sachet.
Little Yuanbao couldn't wait any longer, "Mother, where's mine, where's mine..."
Waiting with his chubby paw outstretched.
The three older brothers all got them, and the last one was the little ball of milk.
Sanbao poured out the copper coins inside, "I have six, mother, are these six copper plates mine? Can I use them to buy food and drinks?"
"Of course! This is the New Year's money your grandmother gave you. It belongs to you and you can use it as you like." Cai said with a smile.
Sanbao suddenly became excited.
"Wow! That's great! I have some New Year's money too! This is the first time I have some New Year's money."
The poor kids all have New Year's money for the first time.
They had never had enough to eat or warm clothes since they were young, and the Wang family would never give them New Year money during festivals. They only heard children in other villages talk about New Year money, and they could only stare and envy them.
Unexpectedly, I have it too.
Although it was not much, only six copper plates, it was enough to excite them.
The little girl couldn't wait to open her small sachet and counted them. "Third brother, there are four sachets too. I can use them to buy delicious food..."
Just laugh foolishly.
Living with Wang Tiangou every day, she can still count a few simple numbers.
Wang Tiangou has almost taught them how to write their own names.
Wang Tiangou is from the children's blind spot group.
Dabao and Erbao both laughed.
They poured out the copper coins from their sachets and gave them to their sister, "Use ours to buy delicious food, too. Here."
They don't need New Year's money.
Especially this kind of New Year's money from some unknown grandma that you have never met before.
It's not worth keeping as a memorial.
My mother accepted it, and she was too lazy to return the few coins.
It would be better to give the money to my sister and buy her some delicious food.
My sister can make money. One amulet can be sold for ten taels of silver. They don’t mind keeping these few copper coins.
This caused the little kid to clap his hands and laugh, "Okay, thank you big brother, second brother..."
Cai's eyes darkened, and she seemed to understand what the children were thinking.
"You can use the copper coins to buy delicious food, but they are heavy to carry around. The sachets your grandma embroidered are pretty nice. Mom put some dried flowers in them for us. You can wear them with you, and they are light and fragrant. You don't have to wear them, and you can put them under your pillow, and they will also make you smell good when you sleep..."
To be honest, Dabao doesn't want this sachet either.
But since my mother said so, "Okay, mother! Just put it under the pillow. We are all men, we are not as good as girls. Wearing a sachet, we are afraid of being laughed at."
Cai was immediately delighted.
Suddenly, Sanbao's eyes were sharp. "Huh? It seems that our names are written on this sachet. Is it Tang Ting written on mine? Brother Tengu taught me that these two words seem to be Tang Ting, right?"
Erbao took it and looked at it. "It seems to be real. I think I have one too. It says Tang Yi on it? This is not embroidered. It is written inside the sachet with ink."
Dabao also found his own name, Tang Zhong, in his sachet.
Little Yuanbao opened her own and there was one too.
Tang Yuan Yuan.
Cai said, "Maybe there was a mistake. This sachet should have been embroidered first. Now your grandmother's eyesight is not good. She is almost blind and can't embroider it. So she wrote the name on the one that was made before to avoid confusion?"
