Lu Yao also felt that she took a little too much.
"Fourth aunt and the others are people who repay kindness. We cured Chengcai. Fourth uncle and the others must be very grateful. Now that Chengcai is doing business with you, we can just give Chengcai more money in the future."
Duan Mingjie hummed.
Starting from the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the house became lively.
Duan Mingjie brought Grandma Yue home early, and neighbors also came over early to help choose vegetables. Village head Chen Dazhuang helped Duan Minghua and Duan Chengcai greet the villagers.
Duan Mingjie and Zheng Weiguo greeted his parents' family together.
Zheng Weiguo had a lot of people here, and he had prepared many gifts. Zheng Weiguo himself had three large boxes, two beds of different sizes, and six homemade toys.
You can't see what's in the box.
Yu Ping also prepared a box of gifts, and the others took two things as well. Those distant relatives and cousins of the seventh aunt and eighth aunt who wanted to go out with Zheng Weiguo all came over after hearing the news. There was some standing in the yard for a while. No more.
Grandma Yue waved to Duan Mingjie, and Duan Mingjie walked over and bent down, "Grandma Yue, what's wrong?"
"There are too many people. People from outside can't come in. Please invite anyone who has seen the child to sit in my house."
With that said, he handed the key to Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie looked at the crowd of people in the yard and couldn't stand any longer.
He took the key and said, "Grandma Yue, I'll go over there."
Duan Mingjie found Zheng Weiguo and asked Zheng Weiguo to arrange a meeting with the child's mother-in-law.
Then he called his second brother and Duan Chengcai to move the tables and chairs outside to Grandma Yue's yard.
The yard is now a little cleaner.
Chen Yuncai and Zheng Jiajia were accompanying Lu Yao upstairs, watching waves of people coming over without stopping at all.
The meet-and-greet gift is no less than ten yuan.
After a while, money was piled beside the bed.
Chen Yuncai: "How many relatives does your father have?"
Lu Yao: "I don't know either."
"Then why don't you remember who got how much gift so that your dad can return it later?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "My dad said that the child of the relative who came today has been married a long time ago. He accepted the gift. These people are here to return the gift, so there is no need to remember it."
Even if she wanted to write it down, she didn't have time to write it down. It was one after another, and there was no time at all.
Lu Yao didn't know any of her aunts, aunts, uncles or grandpas.
Anyway, just collect the money.
Chen Yuncai: "..."
Lu Yao looked at Zheng Jiajia, "Jiajia, please sort out the money for me."
In a little while, the little junior high school student will be buried in money.
In fact, there are not only meeting gifts, but also New Year's money, which is a lot when put together.
"That's wrong!" Lu Yao suddenly sat up.
Chen Yuncai: "What's wrong?"
"My dad didn't give me any lucky money!"
Chen Yuncai: "..."
Zheng Jiajia: "..."
"Sister, you, my uncle, and my father didn't give me any lucky money either!"
Chen Yuncai slapped her angrily, "I think you are obsessed with money!"
Zheng Jiajia stood up and said, "I'd better sort out the money for the first graders."
Just after finishing half of it, another group of people came over.
Zheng Jiajia put the money aside and quietly watched Lu Yao chatting with relatives and friends.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the guests finally arrived, and Lu Yao had time to rest.
Zheng Jiajia put the money in order, "Yaoyao, where can I put it for you?"
"Put it in the cabinet under the desk first."
Before the banquet started down below, Gu Fulan cooked a meal for Lu Yao and served it to her. She finally had to sit down and said, "Hey, darling, there are too many people. I have never held such a big banquet! I don't dare to show off my temper around you, for fear of Which sentence is wrong will make people laugh."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Mom, if you don't want to go down, just stay here. Duan Mingjie and the others can entertain guests well."
Gu Fulan really didn't want to go down, but if she hid upstairs, others would say she was ignorant.
"I'd better go down, even if it's just to move a stool for the guests."
Lu Yao said no more.
After Lu Yao finished eating, Gu Fulan took the bowl and walked downstairs.
Lu Yao said to Chen Yuncai, "Sister, you should hurry down and find a place to sit down."
Chen Yuncai: "No, I'll stay with you up there. I don't know anyone down there. If you get hungry later, just go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of soup."
Zheng Jiajia: "I won't go down either. I don't want to be asked by my relatives if I have a partner. It would be annoying to hear it!"
Lu Yao joked, "They want to introduce you to someone, right?"
"You guessed it!" Zheng Jiajia wanted to roll her eyes, but Chen Yuncai couldn't hold it back, "I really don't know what to say. Do I, Zheng Jiajia, need a blind date? How many people are rushing to pursue me... "
Zheng Jiajia's words stopped abruptly.
She looked at Ren Zhe standing at the door, her cheeks were burning, and she was so hot that she didn't know if there was any heat coming out of her pores.
Ren Zhe looked inside expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard what Zheng Jiajia said. He looked at Lu Yao and said, "Boss Duan asked me to come up and pick up your concubine for dinner."
After saying that, he stood on the side of the door, waiting for Chen Yuncai to follow him out.
Lu Yao looked at Chen Yuncai and said to Ren Zhe, "Ren Zhe, go down and tell Duan Mingjie that my sister-in-law and Jiajia won't be going down to eat."
Ren Zhe nodded, turned around and went downstairs.
As soon as Ren Zhe left, Zheng Jiajia patted her face and looked at Lu Yao, "Yao Yao, does this person make no sound when he walks?"
Lu Yao blinked, "Maybe."
Zheng Jiajia pursed her lips. He must have heard what she said, and he must have thought she was arrogant!
Lu Yao looked at Chen Yuncai: "Sister, when will my brother start school?"
"The ninth day of the lunar month." Chen Yuncai said, "So we have to leave tomorrow."
"If I don't have an internship this summer, I will go back and live there for a while."
"It's okay to go back to live. The summer here in the capital is hotter than ours, but in terms of comfort, it's cooler in the countryside. If I don't have an internship during the summer, I'll go back to my hometown."
The small courtyard in my hometown is cool and spacious.
"Besides, you may not be able to go back."
One kilometer away from Lu Yao's house, Zheng Qi's mother and daughter went to attend a banquet with gifts, but were stopped by several strong men.
"You two, please come back."
Zheng Qi: "Who are you?"
"You don't need to care who we are. We are all around us. You have no chance to get close to Lu Yao's house."
Zheng Qi: "We are here to congratulate you!"
"No need to explain to us, our mission today is that you are not allowed to come close within one kilometer of Lu Yao's house."
Zheng Qi wanted to bite him, but the man quickly moved away, "Please don't embarrass us, and don't force us to do anything."
Zhu Zhenyin secretly clenched his hands and said, "The road belongs to everyone, do we have the right to walk on it?"
"Of course you have the right to leave, but not here!"
