Chapter 185 Opening Gifts
"Are you stupid? The Jiang Family Snack Shop is owned by his family! When have you ever seen a waiter be able to deliver so many things? What's Tongmu's last name?"
Meng Bujiu had an expression of disgust on his face.
Having such an idiot friend is the biggest stain in his life.
"Tongmu's last name, yes! Tongmu's last name is Jiang. Oh, I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think that Jiang's Snack Shop was opened by your family? Why didn't you tell us before?"
Kong Mingxue suddenly realized.
"How dare I? What if you two destroy my shop?"
Jiang Tongmu said something in a sarcastic tone.
He rolled his eyes at the two of them.
"Oh, let's not talk about the past. From now on, I, Kong Mingxue, am your real brother! By the way, next time when the school is on break, take me to the backyard of your shop to play."
Kong Mingxue kept pestering Jiang Tongmu.
There was a dark light in his eyes.
No one found it.
"Take me one." Meng Bujiu said while eating barbecued meat patties.
"Okay, okay, but I have to ask my grandma and get her consent."
Jiang Tongmu felt helpless.
The three of them sat together.
Delicious food.
The noise in the house suddenly disappeared.
All that was left were the sounds of chewing and smacking.
In the evening, the sky is filled with clouds like cakes.
The sunset in the west spread larger and larger, like a piece of cloth covering half the sky, and the clouds were dyed light pink.
At this time, Jiang Siyin and the Jiang family arrived at the door at the same time.
"Thank you for your hard work today. I'll give you an extra five cents. Be careful on your way back."
Jiang Siyin took out his purse, counted out the copper coins and handed them to the coachman.
"Thank you for the reward, sir." The coachman was very happy.
The carriage was not his.
He was just a poor man who drove a cart for the owner of a horse shop.
The extra five cents were assumed to be his.
Anyone would be unhappy.
Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong moved the things from the carriage and put them in the yard.
After the carriage left, the Jiang family's door was closed.
"Hey, why are these peaches so big when you pinch them, and yet so soft? Each time you pinch them, they leave a handprint." Sun Pingmei exclaimed as she opened one of the packages.
"Yes, it's as big as my fist. Eryong, come and take a look at what kind of peach this is." Jiang Dahe asked Jiang Eryong, the second most knowledgeable person in the family.
"I haven't seen it, Dad, do you know?" Jiang Eryong shrugged.
The whole family could only look to Jiang Shoujia, who had the most insight.
"This should be the soft peach from Jiangnan. It's not as sour as the crisp peaches here. I heard it's big and sweet. The skin comes off easily, so you don't need to eat it with the skin on."
Jiang Shoujia really knows him.
"Grandpa is so great, how come you know everything? An old person in the family is like a treasure, and grandpa is our family's treasure--" Jiang Fubao trotted over, hugged his grandfather's legs, and flattered him.
Jiang Shoujia stroked his beard when he was praised, his face looking calm.
In fact, there was so much pride in his eyes.
He picked up his granddaughter.
He rubbed her cheek with his beard.
Soft.
As soft as freshly made rice cakes.
Jiang Shoujia's heart was about to melt.
Jiang Fubao was rubbed by her grandfather's beard, which made her feel very itchy. She giggled, and the sound was as clear as a bell.
"From Jiangnan? Oh, it's not close, it must be very valuable. Madam Yun is really generous, giving us such valuable peaches in a big bag. I counted them and there are about thirty of them. Four silver coins, you shouldn't have taken them. How can a person who gives gifts get back more than the gifts he gave away?"
After Zhang Jinlan squatted down and counted the peaches, she looked at her youngest son with a blaming look.
"Mom, don't blame him. Siyin isn't as strong as Eryong and I. He was probably forced into the carriage by the Fang family. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to."
Jiang Dahe knows his younger brother best.
He helped Jiang Siyin out of trouble.
"Well, the Fang family is very welcoming. Madam Yun asked the maids and servants to stuff a lot of things into my carriage. Otherwise, how about giving them some watermelons next time?"
Jiang Siyin knew that what he did was wrong.
he said weakly.
"This is the only way, but we can't do it too often, otherwise the Fang family will think there are a lot of watermelons, and if they send people to the town to buy them, then we'll be exposed."
Zhang Jinlan unpacked two more packages.
A box containing clothes for girls, ranging from three to six or seven years old. They were all new. There were summer clothes, spring, autumn and winter clothes. They seemed to have never been worn. Except that they had been kept for too long and the colors were a little dull, they looked exactly like new.
All the materials are extremely expensive.
Either silk or brocade.
There is also a gauze blouse as thin as a cicada's wing.
If you buy them in a ready-made clothing shop, I'm afraid the cheapest one will cost more than ten or twenty taels per set.
Zhang Jinlan didn't even dare to touch it. Her hands had been doing farm work for a long time, and her fingers were full of cracks. She thought that if she touched it, the gauze would be torn.
When the other package was opened, it was full of books.
Jiang Fubao stretched his head and looked, there were more than twenty books.
She flipped through a few books at random and found that they were all handwritten.
In addition to the enlightenment books, there were some that she had never heard of.
It is estimated that it is difficult to buy on the market.
The handwriting is beautiful and it is obvious that it was written by a woman.
Then I thought about the fact that Aunt Yun liked reading.
Jiang Fubao guessed that these books were probably copied by Aunt Yun herself.
Jiang Fubao was stunned by this thoughtfulness.
"Oh my god, these gifts are too expensive."
Ever since I took Jiang Tongmu to the bookstore.
The Jiang family knows how expensive books are.
Zhu Yingqiu also sighed.
"Oh, mother, Madam Yun gave Lai Di and the others names Ruyi and Huanyu, which mean peace and happiness, and joy every year. I think they sound nice."
Jiang Siyin suddenly remembered something important.
he said quickly.
"It does sound nice. Well, I still have to repay the favors I owe you. Never mind. Just accept it. If you have any good things in the future, send one to Chang'an Town. There is really a huge gap between our family and the Fang family. I'm afraid they won't appreciate what we have. I guess it's because you said that my family hasn't received much education that Madam Yun sent this gift.
When Tongmu comes back, let him take all the books and read them. When he has learned something, teach them to us. Don't just let the children learn, the adults should learn too. Then everyone in our family will be able to read, and it will be worthy of Madam Yun's kindness. Also, from now on, you are not allowed to call her by her dead sister's name. Change it to the name given by Madam Yun."
Zhang Jinlan sighed.
The Jiang family study team has grown stronger.
After dinner.
Zhang Jinlan asked her granddaughters to come into the house to choose clothes.
Jiang Fubao likes pink.
Jiang Ruyi likes the color blue.
Jiang Huanyu is not picky, she likes all bright colors.
The three of them divided the clothes and happily carried them back to their rooms.
The two sisters Ruyi already have their own rooms.
It is Jiang Tongxiang’s house.
He is still young and sleeps with his brother Jiang Tongji.
Jiang Fubao once again had his own room.
"Children, the peaches have been washed and cooled down, come out and eat them--"
The second aunt's voice sounded outside the house.
Jiang Fubao threw the clothes in his hands onto the bed and ran out with his short legs.
How can clothes smell like peaches?
