Chapter 237 Distributing Gifts
None of us were seasick, so the time on the boat passed quite quickly. At noon, the boat docked at the pier in Qingxi County.
Several people got off the boat. After the boatman moved their belongings down, they got a car and went straight home.
When passing by during the half-day break, I saw quite a few customers inside, it seemed that business was good today, so I did not go downstairs, and the carriage went straight back to Daohua Village.
The carriage had just stopped when the door was opened from the inside. It was Shen Yuanzhou.
He came forward with an excited look on his face, "Dad, A-li, Lao Si, as soon as I heard the sound of the carriage, I knew you were back!"
Shen Changshan reached out and pulled his son's head away before getting off the carriage.
Shen Yuanzhou originally wanted to ask something, but when he saw so many boxes in the car, he suddenly forgot what he was about to say, but he just walked in.
Soon a few more servants came to help, and the things in the carriage were quickly placed in the front hall.
Lin Cuicui, Shen Jingyuan and Li Qiaolan already knew that they were back and hurried over from the backyard.
Lin Cuicui grabbed Shen Qian'an. This was the first time that the fourth brother had been away for so long.
Somewhat distressed, he said, "You've lost weight."
We stayed in Lushan Academy for half a month. Although there was food, it was winter and the food was not warm enough when it was delivered to them.
"Mom, I'm fine. My son was admitted to Lushan Academy."
Lin Cuicui's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, "Okay, you have a promising future."
Li Qiaolan also pulled Xu You to look at her, her eyes reddened, Xu You quickly comforted her: "Mom, I'm fine, this trip has given me a lot of experience."
"it is good."
Since her son had already said so, she just knew it and did not ask him about Lushan Academy again.
This child has already put a lot of pressure on her. As a mother, she can't help the child at all, so she should try not to hold him back.
Lin Cuicui wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I just came back now. Have you guys had lunch yet?"
Shen Li touched her belly and said, "Mother, you finally remembered us. I'm starving!"
Listening to the little daughter's childish words, he reached out and scratched her nose, "There is chicken soup in the kitchen. Madam Wei is a good cook. Let him make you a bowl of chicken noodle soup."
"Row."
They had eaten breakfast early and were really hungry now. Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan also went to the kitchen to help. Soon, several bowls of steaming chicken noodle soup were served.
Shen Li took a bite and found it tasted good. She quickly finished the whole bowl of chicken noodle soup. Only then did she feel a lot better in her stomach. Then she started talking to Lin Cuicui about the things she bought.
"Mom, this is for Uncle Erhe and the others. Each family will have a portion. They are just some fresh cakes and candies. It is a happy event that Fourth Brother was admitted to the academy. Let's share it together."
"Okay, your father and I will take your fourth brother with us to send him off later."
"Well, these are prepared for you," Shen Li said, and took out a box of gold bracelets. The bracelets were engraved with intricate patterns and were just the right size. Wearing them would not give people the feeling of a nouveau riche.
She pulled Lin Cuicui's wrist and said, "This is what your daughter bought for you. Try it."
Lin Cuicui looked at the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but smile, "It looks good. Mother likes it very much."
"Hehe, as long as mom likes it, there's more!"
Then Shen Li took out a gold hairpin, gold earrings, and even several silver and jade ones.
Lin Cuicui was now upset and was heartbroken. Why did she buy so much for this poor child?
"Ali, how much did you spend on these?"
Seeing the distressed look on her mother's face, Shen Li understood immediately, "Don't be sad, mother. These are all from your daughter to show her filial piety to you."
Although, I still feel a little bit sad, but I am more happy.
"Ali, I'm very happy that you bought me jewelry, but you have to save your money for your dowry and stop wasting it like this."
Shen Li nodded. Although her future husband was still nowhere in sight, it did not prevent her from dealing with her mother.
Shen Li opened another box, which contained newer designs. "Mom, these are for my sister-in-law. You can give them to her later."
"Row."
Then the mother and daughter opened the gift given by Lu Jing and took a look. The gift Lu Jing gave to Lin Cuicui was a complete set of headdresses, and it was made of jade. The whole set was not cheap.
"Sigh~"
Lin Cuicui took a deep breath, "This was prepared by A Jing? This is too expensive!
Shen Li also let out a long sigh. My goodness, the debt of the jade bracelet given to her has not been paid off yet, and now she is using it to buy a set of jade jewelry. Tsk.
"Ali, can you accept this?"
"Mom, please keep it. I will give them a gift in return later."
"Row."
After hearing her daughter's words, she dared to accept the things.
The mother and daughter chatted for a while before finally dividing up all the things, and Shen Li went back with her share of the gift.
I closed the door and sat on a chair beside him, and my consciousness sank into the space.
Looking at the ginseng that was growing very well, Shen Li thought for a while and pulled out two 300-year-old ginsengs. She put them in the space first and planned to go into the mountains tomorrow to take them out for processing.
By the way, I collected all the vegetables, fruits and melons in the space. Looking at the pile of vegetables, fruits and melons, I couldn’t finish them even if I ate them for a long time.
I will look for some fruit trees to plant in the space after a while, and I won’t grow vegetables for now.
Looking at the bunches of pleasing grapes on the grape rack, I thought that grapes are precious in winter. I should take some to the store to sell tomorrow and keep the rest for making wine.
After making up her mind, Shen Li went to see Tuanzi and her son, and she became a little worried. It was not a good idea to keep them in the space like this all the time.
Tuanzi is a male bear. He will definitely find a wife when he grows up. Besides, pandas have a sense of territory. What if the mother and son start fighting in the space and I am not paying attention? What should I do then?
When we find a suitable habitat, we can release the mother and child into the wild.
Thinking of this, I thought of the mountain behind Daohua Village. Maybe I could go there and take a look.
The next morning, Shen Li drove away alone in a carriage. Halfway through the journey, she put a few baskets of grapes into the carriage and covered them with cotton cloth to prevent them from freezing.
When she had half a day off, Shen Li asked two waiters to move the grapes downstairs, and then waved to Shuangfu.
"My boss."
"Shuangfu, go buy some exquisite and small baskets. I can use them."
"Yes."
After Shuangfu received the silver and money from Bai Yao, he walked out quickly.
Shen Li asked someone to move the grapes to the backyard. This grape tree had been planted in the space for such a long time that the fruits are now as big as a thumb, which is not small.
The grapes are moderately sweet and sour, and their appearance is purple-red, which looks very nice.
This means it can be sold at a high price.
Rich people like to compete with each other and they don’t lack this little money. The things that are not available in this season are the most precious. Besides, it’s almost the end of the year, so it’s very face-saving to bring a few baskets of grapes when visiting relatives.
