Chapter 337 Giving Gifts(1/3)

 The Zhou family’s lunch was noisy because Sister-in-law Wu didn’t know the general situation, and the atmosphere was a little depressing at first. When Brother Zhou took out a bowl of sea cucumbers and shellfish, he said they were seafood brought back from the capital by Xiao Lele and cooked them for them to try.

He brought it to share, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Young and old couldn't wait to taste it.

I couldn't taste it. The taste was so delicious that I wanted to swallow my chopsticks. Everyone was in high spirits and ate seafood happily. Wedding wines are held these days, and seafood is only seen in big cities. Hotels and restaurants in small counties still follow local customs.

You have to buy sea cucumbers yourself.

Rural people's first impression of seafood is that it is salty! Therefore, few people buy it and cook it themselves. Even if some people buy it, they don't pay much attention to the cooking and are not carefully cooked. It tastes fishy and they don't like to eat it.

Zhou Dahai and Zhou Xiaohai often ate seafood when they were doing business in the county. Sister-in-law Wu also ate seafood because some people in the Wu family had gone out, and Zhang Poluo and his wife had also eaten seafood when they were working abroad, but the taste of what they had eaten was different from Leyun.

Compared with cooked sea cucumbers and shellfish, they are better.

Zhou Qiufeng sent the seafood back to her parents' home on the New Year's Day. Grandma Zhou tasted it, and naturally she didn't show any abnormalities. Zhou Chunmei and Zhou Tianming ate it once and never forgot it. When their father entertained guests with the seafood sent back by their aunt, the siblings were afraid that they would lose money if they ate too little. Chopsticks

Move very frequently.

After eating two bowls of seafood, the topic came up, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. The meal was lively for an hour before it was over.

After lunch, the host and guest chatted for more than an hour, and the guests went back to their homes.

Le Yun returned home with her front legs, then took her things with her hind legs and ran to Grandpa Cheng Wu's house to pay New Year greetings. She sat there for about an hour and got a red envelope from the boss. Then she went home and picked up her things to go to Zhang Poluo's house.

Sister-in-law Zhao and her husband heard that Xiao Lele had given them and their two elders a piece of seafood each, so they happily accepted all the New Year gifts and only gave a big red envelope in return.

Went to Zhang Poluo's house and Liu Lu's house. The gifts were similar, including meat, wine, steamed buns, and a piece of cooked seafood. Liu Lu and his parents happily received the girl from the Le family and did not return anything else.

Give red envelopes to Xiao Lele. They all know that Xiao Lele’s family is not lacking anything now. She spends a lot of money studying in Beijing, so it is most appropriate to give red envelopes.

Went to Liu Lu’s house, and finally went to Village Chief Zhou’s house to pay New Year greetings and have dinner at Village Chief Zhou’s house. The Zhou family also invited Zhou Qiufeng and Yue Qing to have dinner together.

In the past, the Le family only visited a few houses. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was at home that day, Le Yun hurriedly paid New Year greetings one by one. The Liu family, Zhang family, Cheng family, and Zhou family had many relatives, and she didn’t know which house to go to on that day. She went to pay New Year greetings first, and she didn’t know.

It will delay their work.

After the New Year greetings, Little Le's classmate became the goddess of the house. She has been upstairs making medicinal meals since she was in the third grade of junior high school. She would only go downstairs when there were guests at home. Le's father and Zhou Qiufeng did not bother her and let her happily cook the food.

.

While she was busy making food, people in the city and countryside were busy visiting relatives and friends to make a living. Everyone was working hard to earn money to support their families. It was rare to have free time in a year, so it was only during the Chinese New Year that many people would go home for reunions.

, relatives and friends can also meet each other, and we can only take this opportunity to connect with each other.

Yan Xing stayed at his great-grandma's house for a day on the first day of the first lunar month, and returned to the garrison area on the second day of the lunar new year. He didn't call back to Zhao's house, and let those people do whatever they wanted.

Chao Yubo was very busy. He paid New Year's greetings to his grandma and grandpa. He went to his sister's grandma's house, Brother Xiao, Da Li's house, Professor Wanqi's house, etc., etc.

The days flew by in the blink of an eye. Zhang Poluo entertained guests at noon on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and Cheng Youde entertained guests at noon on Friday. The whole Le family went to have dinner. In the evening, Le Yun changed the dressing on her father's leg. Because the internal and external medicines were all space products, the wound healed quickly.

It's the same thing every day. If you record it on film, it will definitely shock people.

On the early morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Qiufeng drove the girl to the foot of the mountain in Shennong District. When she got home at 11:30, there were almost all the guests who came to have dinner.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the Le family entertained guests. With the help of Brother Zhou, Zhou Qiufeng sent Xiao Lele to the mountains and came back without any trouble. Four tables were set up, and they were all people who had visited the Le family before, and they made an appointment to treat her to dinner one day.

The seventh day of the lunar month is the beginning of spring, and there is no one to treat guests.

After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year every year, people working outside also start their journeys. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, office workers officially go to work after spending the New Year's Eve holiday.

When Le Yun entered the mountains on the sixth day of the lunar month, she did not ask Aunt Feng to send her to the foot of the mountain in Shennong District, which is a branch of the Shennong Mountains within the boundaries of Jiudao. She climbed over the mountain alone and then entered the Shennong Mountain Area.

She drove at full speed and arrived at a small alcove when it got dark. She used a flashlight to cut open the bark on several trees, installed sap-collecting membranes, spread clean tarpaulin membranes under the trees, and moved several trees out of the space.

Go up a stone and then return to space.

After a night's rest, at five o'clock in the morning, Le Yun climbed out of the space early and used a flashlight to check her results. The bark of the tree was cut open, and there was juice flowing into the film bag. There was also some dew, which was thrown on the stones outside.

Dewdrops condensed.

She ignored the moisture and started collecting dewdrops on the rocks, putting them in different small bottles. She returned to space to meditate for two hours, and then returned to the woods to collect dewdrops.

After collecting the dew, pick up the stones, collect the dew and sap in the film bag and bottle them together. After finishing the work, have a full meal and wander in the woods despite the humidity.

While Le Xiao students are running all over the mountain, office workers are also engaged in the work of the new year, and work in all walks of life is gradually getting back on track.

I let my little cotton-padded jacket play in the mountains. On the day of the beginning of spring, Grandma Zhou found out about it. Le Dad was scolded again. The day after that, Village Chief Zhou found out about it. He had to be beaten again. After that, Cheng Wu, Zhang Poluo and Laozi

Zhang Laosan found out and scolded him again.

He had to be taught by his elders every now and then. The more he was taught, he became more and more afraid of boiling water, and his ability to withstand stress became better and better.

In fact, Le's dad thinks that being reprimanded is nothing. Anyway, it's not painful or itchy, and it will be over after listening to it. It's just that the little cotton jacket didn't call home, which made me feel very troubled. It wasn't until the fourth day that I received a call to say that he was safe.

Then there was no news again.

Zhou Qiufeng and Le's father were under great pressure from their elders who came to ask about little Lele's return every day. They waited and waited until the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and their girl finally came home.

Shanshan returns.

When the little cotton-padded jacket returned home, Le's father almost wanted to thank God. He dared to say that if Lele had not come back to celebrate the Lantern Festival, Uncle Zhou Man and his mother-in-law would definitely give him and Xiaofeng ideological education classes, and organize people to give them a big party.

Criticism and struggle.

It was already dark when Le Yun returned to the village. She met several groups of people in the village. Because she was only carrying a backpack, people who didn't know why she went there thought she was coming back from paying New Year greetings.

I greeted the villagers on the way and rushed home. When I saw my father looking in front of the door, I jumped over him and acted cute, successfully evading questioning.

"Lele, your father and I are so miserable. You know, it doesn't matter if you sneaked away to play in the mountains on the sixth day of the lunar month. Xiaofeng's mother immediately scolded me when she found out about it. On the first day of spring, I was scolded by my elders. This year I will definitely

I will always take the blame for you..." Dad Le was helped back to the house and couldn't help but complain. He was scolded on the day of the beginning of spring. According to the rural saying, he was scolded every year since the beginning of spring, which means that he must be scolded countless times today.

"Kiss dad, it's not unfair for you to take the blame for your girl."

"Who says it's not unfair? I'm very wronged. It was obviously the little cotton-padded jacket who ran off to play in the mountains by herself. Why did it turn out that I didn't control you..."

Lele's father refused to accept it. When Zhou Qiufeng came back from feeding the pigs, he heard Yueqing complaining and poured cold water on him funny: "Brother Le, why are you so contradictory? Lele is not at home. You eat the girl's delicious food every day and talk about it.

Wear a little cotton-padded jacket, and when people come back, you can complain first and make a difference."

Dad Le: "..." He has been reprimanded so many times, how can he not just pour out the bitterness?

"Dad, your little cotton-padded jacket knows that you have been wronged. Tomorrow, your little cotton-padded jacket will make delicious pancakes for you to comfort your glassy heart that has been blamed by your elders."

"Yeah, that's pretty much it." Dad Le was satisfied.

Zhou Qiufeng was speechless and went to wash her hands. Before Lele went to the mountains, she asked them to eat the medicinal diet she made at home. Brother Le was addicted to eating it and dreamed about the dumplings, pancakes and vegetables the girl left for them.

The child came back, and Le's father was relieved of his worries. He went to light the fire and boil hot water. Le Yun went straight upstairs, took out the things in the backpack and some medicinal materials from the hiding space, poured them into a sieve and put them in the house to dry in the shade.

In order to prevent some narrow-minded people from jealously reporting her after seeing her bringing back big and small bags every time she went into the mountains, she carried some mushrooms and fungus in her backpack, as well as a few bottles of collected dew. If she met anyone on the road, she would ask for it.

It’s okay to look at her backpack.

When she got home, as long as she didn't look at the backpack in front of her father and Aunt Feng, and she wrenched some medicinal materials out of the space, Aunt Feng and her father wouldn't suspect it, they would just turn a blind eye and let her do it.

When her temper comes, she will help her cover it up when necessary.

After sorting out the medicinal materials and the wild fungi I brought back, I went downstairs to wash my hair and take a shower. After eating, I went upstairs to pound the medicinal materials, and then took them down for my father to change the dressing.

After removing the old medicine and seeing her results, Le Yun was very satisfied. After more than ten days of recovery, the sutured wounds had healed and the scars were falling off. The bones, muscles and blood vessels were also integrated very well, and she was recovering.

As far as the level is concerned, you can walk after applying the third dose of medicine.

Of course, she will tell her father to prevent him from getting too excited and using too much force to cause a second injury to the suture location of the fracture.

Little Cotton Jacket said that his leg was recovering well. Dad Le was full of joy and drank the medicine as tea. Little Cotton Jacket helped him boil the medicine and drank two bottles a day. He even suspected that it was not medicine because it tasted sweet and not choking.

The smell of medicine in the nose.

February 11th is the Lantern Festival. Every year in big cities, lions and dragons are performed and river lanterns are performed. In rural areas, there are not so many activities, and every household also makes glutinous rice balls.

That day was also the last day of Leba's annual vacation, and his workshop went to work on the 11th day of the lunar calendar.

Zhou Qiufeng and Leba made glutinous rice balls and steamed buns. Leyun slipped back upstairs and made herbal dumplings and pancakes by herself, making dumplings in the morning and pancakes in the afternoon.

In the evening, the family happily ate Yuanxiao. After the meal, Xiao Le took his father and Aunt Feng upstairs to help make dumplings. They were busy until half past ten and went to bed on time.

Early in the morning on the first day, Zhou Qiufeng ate everything and sent Xiao Lele to the village street to catch a ride to the county seat.

After the Lantern Festival, many working people also go out. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, many people go to work in various places. There are many people on the rural streets waiting to take a ride to the county seat, or take a ride to Shennong District and then take a tour bus to Yishi.

.

There were a lot of people, so Little Le Xiao got on the bus without taking up a seat, and let the migrant workers sit. She had special strength, and she could stand for three to two hours, but it was no problem for her to stand for a whole day. The migrant workers had to catch the bus.

It is very likely that there will be no seats available when you get to the station or get on the bus, and you will have to stand for a long time.

People kept getting on the bus as we walked along. The early bus was so crowded that the driver stopped opening the door until it couldn't fit in. After more than three hours of swaying, the bus finally arrived at the county seat.

It was the beginning of spring on the seventh day of the lunar month, and there was no sign of spring warming up in the north. It was still very cold, and there were more cloudy and rainy days than sunny days. It was also a cloudy day that day, the sky was gray, and the distant mountains and peaks were shrouded in clouds and mist.

Layer.

There are still a lot of people on the street, and cars are running non-stop.

Le Yun took a bus to the commercial street. There were still stalls on the street. When she arrived at Li Bo's shop, there were many diners inside. She carried her backpack and slipped into the shop.

It was cold, and Li Daniu did not set up his own Gudong stall. He was helping his son collect money and make changes. When a big face stretched out in front of him, and when he heard the crisp "Happy New Year, Grandpa Li", he let out an "ouch" in surprise.

Shout out: "Xiao Lele, when did you come? Have you had breakfast?"

When the old man shouted, Li Wang and his mother-in-law looked at the old father and saw the little girl carrying a big bag. They couldn't help but laugh: "Xiao Lele, do you have some free time today?"
