Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 558: Receiving and giving gifts is all about worldliness

"Daughter-in-law, please listen to my explanation!" Wu Yuan said quickly.

"What explanation? Is there really something wrong with you?" Yang Luoyan spoke quickly and quickly, without giving anyone a chance to think.

So much so that Wu Yuan almost reflexively said: "It's okay, nothing happened at all, I don't need to explain."

"That's right! Put the duck in the pen. I'm leaving."

"Daughter-in-law, why are you leaving?"

As soon as Wu Yuan asked for the exit, the silver Santana drove to his door.

Yang Luoyan reached out and opened the car door and said: "Let's go buy something in the county. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Don't we have to give it to my father's house, master's house, fifth master's house, and third sister's house?"

While talking, Wu Yuan untied the ropes from the legs of the two ducks, threw them directly into the pig pen and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Yang Luoyan closed the door with a clang, rolled down the window and said, "No, just rest at home. I'll be right back."

Watching the silver Santana go away, Wu Yuan walked into the house.

Having a daughter-in-law who is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat is a peace of mind. All the big and small affairs and relationships in the family are clearly laid out.

No need to bother at all.

In the living room of the small building, cigarettes and alcohol were placed on the floor.

It seems that during this morning, there were many people giving gifts.

The family's stock of tobacco, alcohol, and chicken, duck, and fish has increased again.

From this point of view, there is actually no need to buy any more. It’s good to just mess up the gifts at home, match them, and give them out.

It not only avoids taking up space at home, but also avoids waste at home due to unfinished food.

It's a pity that my wife is a principled person.

She didn't want to give the gifts from the younger generations to the elders.

Filial piety represents one intention.

This includes choosing carefully and preparing carefully.

In addition, the household now has relatively large expenses in various aspects, such as cigarettes, drinks, chicken, duck, and fish. These are all consumables and can be stored very easily so that they will not expire and cause waste.

While he was thinking about it, Wu Yuan seemed to hear someone talking at the door.

When I looked up, I saw my aunt standing at the door, holding two silver carp in her hand.

"Auntie, would you like to come in and sit down?" Wu Yuan said, "Don't worry, Rhubarb doesn't bite, and it's chained."

Aunt Dai waved her hands repeatedly: "I won't sit down anymore. It's the festival soon. I'll bring two fish for the children to try."

Wu Yuan came out to welcome him, but did not answer: "Auntie, our two families have been neighbors for many years, what's the point of saying this? And we don't have many silver carp here. Do you raise them specially in your fish pond? Leave them here.

How good it is to sell it for money."

Aunt Dai directly pushed the two fish tied with straw into Wu Yuan's hand and said, "Hurry up and take it! You can sell them for the same price as these two."

Wu Yuan had no choice but to continue: "How about I pay for it on behalf of my aunt? Is that okay?"

"No, no, no, no!" After Aunt Dai said, she raised her feet and walked back, saying: "By the way, if your family wants to collect reed leaves, I have them next to my fish pond, so you don't have to go too far to find them."

"Hey, that's good."

The weather has been dry this year, and with the drought like this, the rivers and ditches have almost dried up, and even the reeds are not as ubiquitous as in previous years. It will take a lot of effort to find larger reed leaves to make rice dumplings.

With the reminder from the acting aunt, it took no effort at all.

Walking back to the yard, Wu Yuan put two silver carp into the basin and filled it with water.

With this amount, one piece weighs six or seven kilograms.

Cut the fish body into fillets and make boiled fish; leave the fish head, and you can also make minced pepper fish head.

Eat two things with one fish, get the best of both worlds.

Seeing that it was still early for dinner, Wu Yuan went back to the garage to get the sickle, said hello to Liu Hui who was taking care of the child in the living room, and went out with a straw hat.

The sun is getting hotter.

Wu Yuan estimated that Song Chunhong's face was exposed to wind and rain like this.

He had a pretty fair face, he remembered it very clearly.

I walked by the door of my neighbor Xiao's house. There seemed to be no one at home, only the dog in the yard was barking.

In this way, we walked all the way to the southeast corner of the village primary school.

Now that the school's courtyard walls are all built up, through the courtyard walls, you can only roughly see the roof beams of the classrooms.

Instead, the sounds of banging and banging could be heard intermittently.

Wu Yuan quietly turned left along the perimeter of the courtyard wall, walked a few steps, and arrived at the fish pond of his aunt's house.

There is a simple shed next to the fish pond, with some worthless tools in it.

The south bank of the fish pond, close to the east-west crossing road, is covered with reeds as tall as a person.

Under the scorching sun, it still glows with intoxicating greenery.

Sure enough, relying on water means growing well.

Wu Yuan approached with a sickle in hand and was immediately surprised.

Only then did Wu Yuan notice that there were many bird nests in the reeds.

In my previous life, there were many people who found bird eggs in the reeds like this.

But now, he has no interest in doing so. Even when beating reed leaves, he picks them up and beats them on the ground, trying not to damage the birds' home environment.

After beating four or five kilograms of reed leaves in one go, Wu Yuan thought that no matter what method he used, he would get enough, so he used the longest reed leaf to tie a knot smoothly, then put away the sickle and walked back.

On the way back, I accidentally discovered a clump of wild wormwood.

So the knife fell from the hand, and the mugwort for the festival was also there.

And with such a large amount, it is more than enough whether it is hanging on the door, boiling water for bathing children, boiling eggs, etc.

After entering the house, I put down my sickle, took a basin of water, and soaked the reed leaves in it. It wouldn't be a big problem if I left it there for two days.

before lunch.

My daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan left and came back, and the trunk was full.

There are not only various candies and chocolates, but also newly added Huazi and Maotai.

Wu Yuan was a little stunned when he saw it, but he didn't say much in front of Ma Mingchao.

But when all the gifts were unloaded, Yang Luoyan worked non-stop to distribute all the gifts from house to house.

Wu Yuan took a look and saw that there was still a lot of cigarettes and alcohol left.

As a result, my daughter-in-law said that it was stock for the family.

It’s really a festive atmosphere to receive and give gifts like this.

After the family had lunch, Yang Luoyan soaked the glutinous rice and the red beans for making red bean paste.

Then he put all the Dragon Boat Festival celebrations from several families in the car and urged Wu Yuan to drive out.

In the past, Ma Mingchao drove the car, and Yang Luoyan had long been accustomed to sitting with peace of mind.

The first time he got into a car driven by his own man, even though he knew Wu Yuan had that little notebook, Yang Luoyan's heart went straight to his throat.

Giving gifts is originally a happy thing, but don't let anything happen to you.

So as soon as Wu Yuan got into the car, fastened his seat belt, pulled the handbrake, stepped on the clutch, and shifted gears to start, Yang Luoyan stared at it without blinking.

As a result, she was confused.

This smooth operation can only be achieved by an experienced driver like Ma Mingchao.

He stepped on the accelerator and returned to his parents' home. As expected, the old party secretary was not at home. Yang Luoyan opened the door with his own key, put his things away, and called the village department using his home phone.

Then he went to the Fourth Master's and Fifth Master's homes without stopping, and the Master's Wife and Fifth Niang happened to be at home.

After some pushing and pulling, fortunately, they were all successfully delivered.
