Han Peiyun had already taken a liking to the champagne-colored silk scarf embroidered with camellias. If she hadn't wanted to maintain her image in front of her daughter-in-law, she would have tied it on the spot.
Xu Yanlin didn't hesitate to give in. Although she boasted that she was well-informed in the capital, she had never seen such a beautiful scarf, so she put away the orchid scarf and thanked Ning Yue.
After giving the gifts to the two ladies, Ning Yue took out another box half a foot long, wide and high from her bag.
"Pengpeng, this is for you."
Pengpeng suddenly sat up from his mother's arms and reached out to take over the wooden box, which was a bit big for him. The box was square and in the color of raw wood. It was not painted with any paint, but it was polished very smooth. There is a tiny crack at the top and the rest is nothing.
"Little aunt, what is this?"
"This is a piggy bank specially made by aunt for you. You can put all your pocket money in it, just like this..." Ning Yue took out a handful of change from her body and folded the banknotes into several folds. She stuffed it into the slit and put the coins directly inside. After putting all the money in her hand, she deliberately shook it, and the piggy bank made a tinkling sound.
Pengpeng's eyes suddenly lit up. He had just seen the money that his aunt put in the piggy bank. There were ten yuan, five yuan, and one fifty cents and five cents. How many candies could he buy with this money? ~
He opened the box and tried to take the money out of the piggy bank. However, except for the place where the money was put, he couldn't even find a crack, let alone take the money out of it.
"Little aunt, how do I open this?"
Ning Yue: "It depends on whether Pengpeng is willing to use his brain. You can try to open it frequently in the future. If you can't open it all the time, you can only fill the piggy bank. By then, it will automatically opened."
Pengpeng's curiosity was suddenly attracted by this magical box. The new sofa at his great-grandma's house was no longer flexible, so he just sat there, holding the box and thinking about it.
In fact, there are still some traces of splicing on this box, but if you can't find a suitable method, the box really cannot be opened unless the piggy bank is finally filled with change.
Seeing that her son was finally honest, Xu Yanlin breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother and sister, where did you buy this box? If I had known that one box could make this boy honest, I would have bought him ten or eight boxes. ”
Ning Yue said sheepishly: "Sister, I actually made this thing from wood myself. The wood is the most common pine wood in our mountains. I think it will be beneficial to children's brain development if they exercise their brains properly from an early age. .
And making this thing into a piggy bank can also help him learn to save money since he was a child.
I was quite nervous when I didn't take this thing out, for fear that Pengpeng wouldn't like it, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. "
"Don't talk about him, I've already fallen in love with this piggy bank, how could Pengpeng not like it?! I thought you bought it, you really took the trouble!"
When Xu Yansheng saw that the gifts were delivered, he came over to talk to Ning Yue: "Let's go and have something to eat first, and then we'll talk to mom later."
Han Peiyun said angrily: "Look at me, I'm so happy that I forgot that you are still hungry. Go quickly, but don't eat too much, both of you. It's already past ten o'clock, otherwise you won't be able to eat lunch."
The two couples went to the kitchen, and the old man made an excuse and went back to his house. After entering the house, he immediately opened the gift from his grandson's wife, and saw a fat white ginseng lying quietly in the box. It looked like it had been dug out not long ago. There was no damage to the ginseng root, and it looked like the ginseng must be at least a hundred or two hundred years old!
This granddaughter-in-law really exceeded his expectations!
It can be seen from the gifts she gave to her family that this child is a good person. An ordinary rural girl cannot say that she collects silk scarves as art.
There was also the box she made. He could see clearly from the side. There was not a single nail on the box. Except for the place where the money was placed, there was no obvious place for folding. It looked more like a Luban box.
Coupled with the precious ginseng in my hand, I thought that the box of tea leaves for the eldest son should be good, otherwise, the grandson would not say that his father would not give it back to him if he didn't like it!
The young couple downstairs had just put their bellies in bed when a guest came to the house, "Linlin, I heard that your brother has brought his sister-in-law. Where is she?"
Xu Yanlin glanced at her younger siblings who had just sat on the sofa to amuse her son before standing up and letting them in. "Aunts, please sit down quickly. My younger siblings are right here, aren't they?"
The people who came here were all acquaintances from the courtyard, and they usually liked to hang out with each other and chat with each other. Someone must have seen Ning Yue and his wife when they entered the courtyard just now, so they ran over to see their new wife.
Ning Yue quickly got up to entertain the guests. She would say whatever the aunts and ladies asked her, and if she didn't want to talk, she would think of a topic to change the subject.
She noticed that one of these people kept looking at her with eyes full of scrutiny.
Han Peiyun looked on and nodded secretly. Who said that her son married a country girl who knew nothing? She looked at it and realized that many girls around her were not as generous and decent as her young daughter-in-law.
After finally sending the guests away, lunch was ready. Father Xu rarely came home at noon, and he couldn't come back today. There were only six of them at the dinner table. The lunch was extremely rich, including chicken and fish, and Aunt Wang My cooking skills are good, and it tastes quite delicious.
After lunch, Xu Yansheng led someone upstairs: "Mom, my wife didn't sleep all night, and she had to walk such a long way with her luggage. She is already tired. Let's go back to the room and rest for a while. When will we wake up? Come down again.”
Han Peiyun urged: "Go quickly, the sheets and quilts in your room are all new. Your sister and I gave Ning Yue two sets of replacement clothes, which are hanging in your closet. Ning Yue should be able to wear them." "
Xu Yansheng nodded and pulled Ning Yue upstairs.
Back in the room, Ning Yue saw that he really planned to go to bed and asked, "Isn't it good for the two of us to just go back to the room like this?"
Seeing that she was still standing there, Xu Yansheng pulled her over: "What's wrong? Every time I take the train, I can sleep all day long, so I don't believe you are not sleepy."
By the way, I haven't asked you about what happened yesterday. How did you find out that Li Guan was a thief? "
This matter really puzzled him. He didn't believe what she said on the train, saying that Li Huan's eyes were specifically looking at those who were well-dressed. At that time, she was sitting in the innermost place, and There was him in the middle of Li Zhan. How did she notice who Li Zhan was looking at? Moreover, Li Chang's watch had been hidden in his sleeve, so it was impossible for her to see it early.
