Chapter 46 46. Meeting Family
"Grandma! Auntie is back——"
As soon as I entered the village, Zhengyue's familiar loud voice was heard.
Shi Liu smiled rarely, and the people sitting on the tractor were stunned when they accidentally saw such a touching smile.
Even the usually arrogant Lu Cha had to admit that this village girl was prettier than any of them.
Bai Lianhua was somewhat jealous, but fortunately, she was a pretty girl next door, and could not compare with such a top beauty.
The only one who was jealous to the point of going crazy was Pan Jinlian. Everyone around her had flattered her since she was a child, and even her stepmother did not dare to offend her. As a result, she developed a selfish and competitive character. Now, when she saw Shi Liu, who was much more beautiful than her, her mentality collapsed.
As for Zhou Yan, the male educated youth who had always had no sense of presence, his eyes flashed when he saw this. This was the person that the young ancestor of their Zhou family liked. He was indeed very handsome. No wonder the other party sent him here to guard. If this kind of appearance was discovered by others, it would definitely cause a stir.
Thinking back to his shock when he first received the call from that person, Zhou Yan found it amusing. Even that lawless ancestor could be cautious sometimes. He still couldn't figure out how two people who had never met could fall in love, but that didn't stop him from laughing. The thought of his usually arrogant cousin actually having henpecked tendencies made him laugh. Perhaps he should build a good relationship with this future cousin.
As soon as Shi Liu returned home, he was warmly welcomed. As for Shi San Ge, only Shi San Sao revolved around him.
"Mom, these are the cotton-padded jacket and trousers I asked a craftsman from Hai City to make. Try them on to see if they fit you." Shi Liu felt a little embarrassed when she saw the expectant look in her elder brother and sister-in-law's eyes. It wasn't that she was stingy, but it was just that it was hard to explain where the money she had came from. She could only pretend not to notice. "Mom, I also brought some fabrics. Please give some to any relatives who need them. We don't need tickets."
Su Sanlan looked at the sack of fabric her daughter had brought back and quickly ran to the door to close it. She glared at everyone and said angrily, "No one of you knows how to close the door. What if people find out we have all this good stuff? Boss, you and your wife, go get your eldest uncle and your third uncle and their spouses and let them pick out the fabric first."
"Mom, please make some new clothes for the people at home. My clothes are so patched up that they can't be used." Mrs. Shi San wanted to make new clothes. What's more, the fabrics were brought back by her husband. Why shouldn't she be allowed to use them?
"Bah! Why should I give you the cloth my daughter got? You can even wear new clothes. I'm burning you! Third brother, control your wife. How dare a sister-in-law ask her younger sister-in-law to make new clothes for her? Why did I marry such a daughter-in-law? I must go to the Ding family to ask. This is how they teach their daughters!"
Brother Shi San was so scared that he quickly stopped his wife: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you have clothes to wear?" Why is this woman meddling in other people's business? She even burned her new clothes. Who wears new clothes every year these days? She's not a local rich man.
Mrs. Shi San was afraid of her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare to go forward when her husband pulled her.
However, Su Sanlan didn't think that she could let it go like this. She caught Shi Sansao and scolded her for a full quarter of an hour until Brother Shi and the others came back.
The eldest aunt and the third aunt looked at the cloth that Shi Liu brought back, their faces lit up with joy. Especially the third aunt, whose family was not like the eldest uncle's family, where there was a soldier. They really needed this little bit of cloth: "Shi Liu is really capable, worthy of being a high school student, she is amazing."
Uncle Shi and his two elder brothers also had smiles on their faces, full of pride. The daughter of their Shi family was really amazing.
Third Aunt picked out a piece of bright red cloth and said, "Sister-in-law, I think this red cloth can be used to make at least two jackets. How about we split it in half?" Her eldest son was getting married soon, and the bright red cloth was a perfect wedding dress for her youngest daughter-in-law.
The eldest aunt looked at the red cloth with satisfaction and nodded: "Okay." It was the second brother's wife who was kind enough to let them choose first, otherwise by the time others had chosen the colorful floral cloths, there would be nothing left.
Seeing that her aunt and her third aunt were choosing cloth, Shi Liu simply asked her third brother to take out the seafood she had bought. "This is the seafood I bought from the sea market this time. Don't think that seafood is cheap here, but in fact, it's only a few cents per pound over there. I bought a lot of kelp and dried shrimps. Uncle and third uncle, take some back and try them."
Su Sanlan watched her daughter grab a handful of gifts, and her heart ached. The gaps between her daughter's hands were getting bigger and bigger, but as a mother, she couldn't refuse her daughter's kindness. She could only force a smile and say, "Uncle, you can take it. It's all the children's love, and it's not cheap."
Uncle Shi was choked by his second brother's wife's words. His second brother's wife has always been competitive. Obviously, good things become distorted when they come out of her mouth. Really, thinking of this, Uncle Shi shook his head. They are all relatives and he doesn't care about this matter, otherwise the two families would have fallen out long ago.
As for Uncle Shi, he was simply flattered. You know, even if his second sister-in-law gave them some vegetables, they would have to make up for it from their own private plots. Now she was willing to give them seafood, so he just pretended not to hear what she said.
Shi Liu almost groaned and was about to get hurt. In fact, her mother didn't need to say the last sentence. Even if she felt heartbroken, she couldn't say it out loud -
Su Sanlan's words weren't nonsense. Seafood in Shan Province cost one or two yuan per pound, and there was often no demand. Regardless of whether she was willing to give it or not, no one would accuse her of being stingy if she told anyone about it. Didn't you see that the eldest aunt and the third aunt were both smiling, holding Su Sanlan's hand like a sister.
Of course, both families knew that this was just a chance encounter and it would be difficult to eat seafood in the future, so they only took one or two pounds back and didn't want more.
After everyone left, Su Sanlan tapped Shi Liu's forehead with her finger and said, "Just be generous. Who would be willing to give away such a good thing?"
Shi Liu chuckled and stepped forward to hold Su Sanlan's arm. "Mom, Uncle and his family have always taken good care of us. It's just some seafood, not worth much at all. It also helps to prevent the villagers from constantly saying that we are blood-sucking worms."
Su Sanlan nodded. This was actually one of the reasons why she hadn't stopped him. "Your uncle and his family are well-off, so we won't suffer any loss from the return gift. We might even make a profit. As for your third uncle and his family, if they dare to let me suffer, I will go to their private plot every day."
"Hahahaha——" Shi Liu was amused by her mother's amazing logic, but this was something her mother could do.
(O ^~^ O): Vote and vote——
Monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and evaluation tickets will become invalid after expiration, so don't be stingy——
