Chapter 358 New Year's Rites
After writing the couplets, hang them up and wait for the ink to dry before posting them.
"You guys, please watch and don't touch me."
Although Mother Li said it to the four little ones, the main point was actually to look at Xiao Shiro.
"Okay, you guys and I, Aye, will pack up and go to Dr. Gao's house. If anyone comes to give you a gift, just accept it and wait until I get back."
Seeing Sister Li nodded, Mother Li and Father Li went out carrying the gifts they had bought earlier.
When Li Sanniang was about to go and have a look at Fang Chengxian, who had moved to the next door yard and lived with Dr. Liang and the boy Shaoyang, Xu Jingzhen came to the door.
“Sister-in-law Li, Second Sister-in-law Li, and Third Lady, please be well.
I came today, firstly, to give New Year’s gifts, and secondly, to see how Chengxian is doing.
I apologize for any inconvenience. ”
Now that Xu Jingzhen came in person, Li Sanniang wanted to wait for Xu Jingzhen to leave before going to see Fang Chengxian.
Li Sanniang felt that since she said that she had no intention of getting married a second time, she could clearly feel that Xu Jingzhen was no longer so "sticky".
Li Sanniang feels very good about this.
Looking at Li Dalang, Li Sanniang said: "Hutou, you lead Mr. Xu Sanlang and go next door to see Mr. Fang Lang."
Although Li's mother and Li's father went out to give gifts However, it left a lot of work for the family.
Li Sanniang followed Sister Li and the others to get busy in the kitchen, while Lu Zhuer followed Xiao Silang and ran back and forth happily with Xiao Huang in the yard.
Li Erlang and Li Sanlang were sympathetic to their mother's hard work and were wiping the furniture back and forth with a rag.
Nineteenth was cleaning the yard and hung up the lanterns according to Sister Li's instructions.
Qiuxiang took over the task of cutting the radish into strips from Sister Li Er. Because she cut the radish into even and slender pieces, this job could be said to have become her exclusive job.
Wu Qiaolan and Baoya were not idle either. Those who lit the fire and scooped out water were also very busy.
While everyone was busy, the first person to come to the Li family to give gifts turned out to be the Qian family!
Of course, the visitors are not Qian Dalang and Su Wanhui (appeared in Chapter 17), but the servants of the Qian family.
The servant said a few auspicious words, left the gift list and gifts, and left.
“I really didn’t expect that Mrs. Qian would still remember our family.”
Sister-in-law Li was a little emotional while holding the gift list, but Sister-in-law Li, who was standing aside, took over the conversation: “Where is that? Can you not remember our family?
Sanniang saved their young man's life. That was a life. "
Sister-in-law Li didn't say anything after hearing what Mrs. Li said. She just said to Li Dalang and the others: "You should stop what you are doing first and move the New Year's gifts to the wing, and wait for your grandma to come back. ”
In the next hour, there were many people coming to and from the Li family, all coming to give New Year gifts.
The Gao family (appeared in Chapter 54) also sent servants. The gift-giving was similar to that of the Qian family. They also left the gift notes and left. There were also some gifts from people who had some connections with Father Li, Brother Li, and Brother Li, and they were all given to the four little ones. Moved to the wing, waiting for Mother Li to decide how to return the gift.
What surprised the Li family was that many people related to Li Sanniang also came to send gifts.
For example, Tu Wa, Shen Qiuniang and Bai Ziyi are understandable. After all, this can be said to be an old relationship.
What Li Sanniang didn’t expect was that many of her own patients would also come to her door with gifts!
For example, Shunzi and Yingniang (appeared in Chapter 140), these two people came first.
Yingniang is still cute and happy, "Doctor Li, we asked the apprentice in the medical hall and found out that you live here, so we came here."
Yingniang pointed to the basket on Shunzi's back, "Don't dislike it, Dr. Li. We all grew it ourselves. It's not anything new, just weeds and radishes.
I just happened to come to the city to deliver them. I'll give you some food by the way.
I'll come see you again when the first lunar month comes." Before Li Sanniang said a word, Yingniang started talking.
In the end, Sister-in-law Li made the decision and gave them four snacks directly before Li Sanniang sent them out.
After Yingniang and Shunzi left, Yang Shi (appeared in Chapter 186) came to the door with his eldest son and four gifts.
"Doctor Li, it's not a valuable thing, you must accept it.
You saved my life, don't let it go, otherwise I will feel bad about it. Good luck.”
Li Sanniang, who was thanked by Haosheng again, had to accept the gift from Yang Shi. It was Mrs. Li who returned the gift before sending Haosheng out.
Not long after Yang Shi and Yang Dalang left, Father Li and Mother Li came home.
Sister-in-law Li was explaining to Mother Li who had come to the door before, "People who have been treated by Sanniang also came to give gifts. I thought I couldn't be rude, so I chose four gifts from the things we bought earlier. , returned the gift."
Mother Li nodded, "Dalang's wife is doing the right thing. If someone comes to thank you, we can't let them leave empty-handed."
Li. While my father was stroking his beard and listening to Li Sanniang's words, there was another movement at the door of Li's house.
The servants of Guo Wuniang (appeared in Chapter 179) and Yin Liuniang (appeared in Chapter 198) are here.
“Doctor Li, our fifth wife will follow Lang Xu to Jingzhou after the first lunar month.
Wu Niangzi said that she wanted to correspond with Dr. Li later, so she wrote a letter to Dr. Li in advance. "
After that, the old lady took out a letter from her chest and handed it to Li Sanniang.
"I understand, please come to your door. ”
This return gift for Guo Wuniang was prepared by Mother Li. Mother Li had heard Li Sanniang talk about Guo Wuniang before. Some time ago, Li Sanniang went to attend Guo Wuniang’s evening ceremony, right?
< br>Guo Wuniang sent quite a lot of New Year's gifts. Thanks to Mother Li's preparation, she carefully selected them and gave them back.
Yin Liu Niang was accompanied by a mother-in-law and two little girls. "Our boss said, thank you Dr. Li for the wedding ceremony. This fabric comes from the south of the Yangtze River. There is not much in total. The boss specially left a high-quality piece for Dr. Li." "
After another round of greetings, the woman was sent out the door after talking for a long time.
“Thank you so much, grandma and sister-in-law. If I were asked to get this gift in return, I wouldn’t be able to do it well.
Later, I’ll treat grandma and sister-in-law to something delicious.”
Mother Li glanced at Li Sanniang angrily, then turned to look at the cloth sent by Yin Liuniang, "This pattern should indeed be from Jiangnan, it is not common here."
While everyone was discussing, there was another shouting at the door of Li's house.
When Mother Li and the others came out, my dear, there were five fully loaded carriages parked in front of Li's house.
After the man in the head, who looked like a steward and was wearing gray-brown clothes, came forward to salute and explain, Mother Li and the others realized that this was a New Year gift sent to Dr. Liang by his disciples.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I can send it in time before New Year's Eve.
Our master still has a letter to send to Mr. Liang. Please let me meet him. I always have to Kowtow to Mr. Liang.”
"Ouch, you have suffered a lot. Hurry up and go into the yard and drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself first."
After saying that, Mother Li summoned Li Dalang and Li Erlang to come forward to help, thinking Go directly around to the backyard and unload the things to Dr. Liang.
"Sanniang, hurry up and go next door to find your master and senior brother. There are people in this house, so we need to meet them."
Looking at the weather forecast, it will finally be next month. It's starting to warm up.
However, the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, dear children, please pay attention to keep warm!
