Chapter 662 It's Big Brother's Money
"Brother Zhiqiu, my sister-in-law has given birth, what gift should we give?"
Liu Muqiu has been worrying about this ever since he heard the letter from Zhoucheng.
When I was in Li's house before, it's not that I never gave gifts to others, but those were all things that should be used on the scene.
Now my family, naturally I should be more careful and give what I want.
It's just that I'm too shy.
Compared to her nervousness, Liu Zhiqiu seemed to be in good spirits, "What's the rush? When I go to Yunzhou tomorrow, just buy some pastries on the way. There is nothing missing for my elder brother and sister-in-law. Besides, what should be prepared, grandparents and the others have already prepared it." It's ready, don't worry about us."
"Giving gifts is a matter of heart, and it can't be so casual. What grandpa and grandma prepared are theirs, we have to prepare more or less."
Liu Zhiqiu clicked his tongue, and flicked her forehead with his fingers, "Look, I'm worrying about you, okay, I'm prepared, the one who will take out tomorrow will definitely be useful to my sister-in-law!"
"What have you prepared?"
"secret."
"..."
Looking up at the sky, it's almost night, it's time to eat dinner, put one hand on the girl's shoulder, and push the person out, "Let's put this matter aside, go with brother first, I'll take you to dinner!"
"Shall we go to Aunt Osmanthus's house or Dabao's house today?"
"We've eaten both. Let's change the taste today. Go to Gouwazi's house. His father hunted a wild rabbit on the mountain during the day. It's fat and oily. Stew it in a frying pan. Tsk! It smells delicious!"
"Then you have to go there quickly, I'm afraid you will eat up if you go late."
"There's no rush, there's still at least a quarter of an hour before their meal time, so we can take our time."
After the elders of the Liu family left, this was the daily life of Liu Zhiqiu and Liu Muqiu.
Eat hundreds of meals.
There is no need to fire at home, saving rice and vegetables and firewood.
After a few days, Liu Muqiu has changed from being cautious at the beginning to now moving forward and retreating freely.
The cheeky thing can grow thicker with exercise.
Moreover, all the neighbors in Xinghua Village are as hospitable as the elders of the Liu family.
When you go to their house, you don't have to be polite at all, just pick up the bowls and chopsticks and eat directly, just like your own home.
After eating, I will greet Xuaner to come again.
Everyone knows that the old man and the old lady have gone to Zhoucheng, and there are only two young people left in the family. Liu Zhiqiu can light a fire but not cook. Liu Muqiu used to be a self-conscious person, and now he is learning housework from the old lady. For the time being, I only learned half a bucket of water.
Aunt Hong can cook the food well, but the taste is not flattering.
So, to use Liu Zhiqiu's words, those things are reserved for the tormented Uncle Lan and Jiu Lao, and they will start a small stove by themselves.
This small stove was opened in someone else's kitchen.
After the meal, Liu Zhiqiu pulled Gouwazi to the side, murmured and said nothing, and after a while, Gouwazi went back into the house and came out with a jar, and handed it to Liu Zhiqiu.
On the way home, Liu Muqiu was extremely curious about that jar, "Brother Zhiqiu, what's in this jar?"
"Good thing, this is tomorrow's gift." The man smiled mysteriously, lifted the lid of the jar a little bit, and a rich and sweet fragrance immediately overflowed.
"Honey!"
"Wild honey. It's a rare good on the market. Is it enough?"
"Such a good thing, why did you give it to you as soon as you said Gouwazi?"
"I paid him on credit. This small jar is ten taels. When my elder brother comes back for the New Year, let him pay it back."
The corners of Liu Muqiu's mouth twitched. After holding back for a long time, he still couldn't hold back his laughter.
This ability to pick money is absolutely perfect.
She wants to learn.
You have to be thick-skinned to be worthy of Brother Zhiqiu.
Early the next morning, the two harnessed the carriage and headed straight to Yunzhou.
There are only three housekeepers left in the Liu family compound.
Jiu Lao hopped to follow, but Wei Lan used a pot of wine to fix it, and successfully stationed in the base camp.
Horse-drawn carriages lined up at the gate of the Yunzhou Government Yamen, and people came and went in the inner courtyard, all of whom were from the city's aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen who came to congratulate and give gifts.
Look for every opportunity to build a relationship with the prefect.
Liu Zhiqiu took Liu Muqiu with him, he didn't even need to inform him when he entered the door, he went straight to the main courtyard by familiar ways.
"Brother Zhiqiu, don't we go to the lobby?"
"No need to go, the hall must be full of strangers at this time, at most only the elder brother is socializing there, grandma and grandma are all in the main courtyard."
"how do you know?"
"Grandma and grandma don't like to socialize. They usually avoid this kind of scene as much as they can. Besides, the first great-grandson in the family is born, and they can't wait to watch from the sidelines every day." It's the same as when my daughter was born.
"Grandma, uncle and aunt all like little babies?"
Tilting his head, he glanced at the girl, Liu Zhiqiu twitched his lips, and smiled meaningfully, "I like it."
Liu Muqiu blushed inexplicably, and did not dare to meet his gaze.
There are layers of sweet ripples in my heart.
Going to the master's courtyard, before entering the living room, I could hear the chatter and laughter inside, among which were the hearty laughter of the old lady and the old man.
"Grandma, grandma, we're here." Before entering the door, Liu Zhiqiu grinned away.
Upon hearing his voice, Liu Yusheng immediately laughed, "I said that the second brother will definitely come."
"He just likes to join in the fun." Du Juan said angrily, and then raised his voice to the person who walked in the door, "If you are empty-handed, don't come in, turn back."
"Tsk, how can my little nephew be empty-handed? Look at what you said!" Liu Zhiqiu immediately showed the honey jar.
Following behind him, Liu Muqiu quietly covered his brows and eyes with his hands, not daring to look into his family's eyes.
Really, my heart is a little empty.
This jar of honey cost big brother's money.
Liu Yusheng took the jar, opened it and sniffed it, "Wild honey, this stuff is pretty good, where did you get it?"
"You don't know what your second brother is capable of? Only you can't think of it, but I can't get it." Liu Zhiqiu smiled and looked around, "Where is my little nephew?"
"In the house, I'm breastfeeding, and I'll take it out to play later." When the little great-grandson was mentioned, Mrs. Liu smiled, and she had everything to do with grandchildren, "Our family is now four generations under the same roof. Branches and leaves, Zhiqiu, you have to hurry up, don't wait until you are old, you can afford it, but the girl can't."
There was something in the words, Liu Muqiu couldn't help it, and took Liu Yusheng's hand, "Master, Grandma, Uncle, Auntie, I'm going to see my sister-in-law and my little nephew."
"Go, it's in the backyard wing."
While walking towards the wing, Liu Yusheng squinted at the blushing face of the woman beside her, "So ashamed? No way, I should be thick-skinned after hanging out with my second brother for so long."
"My face still needs to be tempered. No matter what, I have to catch up with your thickness, so that I can be calm and composed." Suppressing her embarrassment, Liu Muqiu replied.
"The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp." The eyeballs rolled around and bumped into the woman, "Hey, do you want to turn around? I guess once we leave, grandma and the others must have told the second brother again."
