Chapter 141 New Year's Gifts and Crying on New Year's Eve
Shen Ziju didn't expect to receive the New Year's gift. Seeing Su Zhi smiling and handing over a small cloth bag, he quickly arched his hand to thank him, and then took it over.
Shen Youfu saw that Shen Zi'an and his family were not stingy during the Spring Festival. They gave gifts for so many years and prepared gifts for his son. The smile on his face was deeper, and the smile on Shen Zhang's face was more kinder. He said that Su Zhi and others were too expensive, but he thought that he couldn't come even if he asked him for a personal ginskers at that time. Now he looks polite. He is not the kind of person who keeps it when he has money. He doesn't know what kind of nature Su Zhi is.
Shen Zhu sat aside and said with a smile, "Brother, open it quickly and see what the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law gave you."
Shen Zi took a look at Shen Zi'an and others. Seeing that they did not object, he smiled and put the cloth bag on the edge of the kang, and then opened it.
As soon as Shen Zi opened it, he saw that there was a flat box inside. Under the box was a stack of paper with snow-white paper. When the box was opened, there were three brushes of different sizes, an inkstone, and three ink strips. The four treasures of the study are all here. He saw that even if these things were not good, they were middle-class. For scholars, they liked these very much, and the smile on his face was deeper.
"Thank you, fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law."
Shen Ziju saluted again and glanced at Su Zhi's face. He thought that the fourth brother did not understand these elegant things. It must have been bought by the fourth sister-in-law.
Su Zhi knew that Shen Zi'an was not too talkative in front of the Shen family except in front of the second room, so she always said more at this time, so the scene would not get cold. Now she also said, she said with a smile, "The fifth brother is going to take the scholar examination at the beginning of spring, and he will go to Zhongju to take the entrance examination in the future. The fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law can't help you in learning. I can only give you this ink paper inkstone. May the fifth brother show great pictures and the title of the gold list.
Su Zhi's words made the Shen family present happy to hear it. The smile on his face also became sincere. In short, no matter what his heart is, on the surface, the family is quite happy.
Shen Zhu looked at Shen Zi and tied up the cloth bag again with a smile. She said coquettishly, "Oh, it's good to be a younger brother. If there is a gift, that's a treasure. My sister is the root grass.
Shen Zhu is wearing a pink top today, with rose-red edges, a rose-red skirt, a silver step on her black and shiny hair, and a pink silk flower. A light powder was also applied to his face, and it looked like a delicate peach blossom, so his eyes were full of coquettishness, which added a bit of beauty.
Su Zhi thought to herself that it was no wonder that Shen Zhu would be liked by Shen Youfu, an old-fashioned old man. She was really picky. Thinking that she had made a match, and it seemed that she was extremely dissatisfied with that person. I don't know if there will be any change in the future. If there is any change. Shen Zhu must also go to climb high branches. She thought of the honest young man called Dashan, and she really sighed for him, but thinking that losing a daughter-in-law like Shen Zhu may not be a bad thing for him. Such a daughter-in-law can't be raised by the family.
Shen Zhu saw Su Zhi looking at herself without blinking. I'm proud to think that I look good, so I'm jealous, right? No matter how jealous you are, it's useless. No matter how jealous you are, you still look good! However, the words she asked for gifts had been said. The fourth sister-in-law looked at herself like this and didn't say anything. Did she pretend not to hear it or something? She was a little unhappy again.
Shen Zhang looked at Shen Zhu and said with a smile, "You have no rules. Why do you look like your sister-in-law begging for something? I'm not afraid of being laughed at."
Shen Zi'an said, "My daughter-in-law has prepared New Year's gifts for everyone in the family. Naturally, there will be a little sister."
"Oh, it's really true." Shen Zhu smiled, came over happily and took Su Zhi's arm, shook it gently, and said, "Good fourth sister-in-law, I knew you would remember me. Show me what it is."
Su Zhi rolled her eyes and thought that she was in a good mood this year. She thought that she had separated her family in the first year and became a family in the village in the first year. After becoming rich, she couldn't let others gossip about them, so she spent a lot of money and simply prepared a gift for the Shen family. Unexpectedly, she was really Ready, don't you have to be blocked here by this Shen Zhu? That scene will definitely not look good.
Su Zhi doesn't like Shen Zhu very much, but now she doesn't tear her face, and she doesn't tear her face. Let's maintain this superficial peace first. Each family must have such a worry-free relative. During the Spring Festival, just deal with her with a smile.
"Of course, there will be a sister. You can take it out when I give it to my sister."
Su Zhi took out another thing from the small basket. It was a purse made of cotton cloth embroidered with a few simple flowers and plants, but it was also vivid.
Shen Zhu took the purse and thought it was just such a purse, but when she took it over and looked at the flowers and plants on it, she found that there was something in it. She poured out the contents and found that it was a pair of gilded earrings in the shape of orchids, which was very beautiful.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, thank you very much."
Shen Zhu was very happy. She took the earrings back into her purse and looked at Su Zhi's eyes much softer.
Su Zhi said to see if there was anything busy in the kitchen, and then found an excuse to come out of the room. She didn't like to chat with these people very much. She always felt like she was acting. She didn't know when she would be at peace because of some things, and she was going to tear her face again. After all, it used to be like this. Now it's just because it's the Spring Festival. They are also elders and take the initiative to show a smile. Since they are sons and daughters-in-law who want to come here for dinner, they naturally have to maintain superficial politeness. But it's really uncomfortable to always pretend like this.
As soon as Shen Zi'an saw his daughter-in-law's goodbye, he also said that he would go to see the eldest brother and second brother and several nephews, and the couple retreated together.
As soon as Su Zhi came out, she saw Chunlan. Chunlan called the fourth aunt sweetly and said auspicious words. Chunxiang also opened the curtain from the room and happily called the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt. Shen Zifu called them in from inside. The young couple went in.
When Shen Zi'an saw that Shen Zifu and Shen Zigui were all there, he also sat aside. Su Zhi asked Chunlan to call all three girls in the second room. I also asked the children who called the third wife. Although they don't like the Sun couple, they can't help but be colleagues during the Spring Festival. Naturally, they all have to be called here.
Six girls stood in a row in front of Su Zhi. From high to Shi, they were all watery, but they were all very thin. Now that it's the Spring Festival, they are all dressed in new clothes, which are very energetic. It can be imagined that in a few years, the threshold of the Shen family will be broken by the marriage seeker
The five boys stood behind, and their appearances were also Zhou Zheng's, but the famous temperament of Sanfang was not pure, and they were not as likable as Dalang Erlang's. Sanlang raised his neck and his eyes turned around. Silang looked straight at the small basket in Su Zhi's hand, and The tears were about to flow to his mouth, and he bit his fingers, and Su Zhizhi felt uncomfortable for him.
Su Zhi gave each person a red envelope. Of course, it was the same. It was all ten cents per person.
The children all thanked, and then Chunlan and others talked around Su Zhi. Chunhua looked enviously, but she watched Sanlang pull Silang and Goro away. She didn't dare to stay and left with her head down.
Shen Ziping also chatted in this room. Su Zhi didn't want to listen to him, so he went to the kitchen.
As soon as Sun saw Su Zhi coming over, she immediately said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you are here. You cook deliciously. Why don't you cook today? Speaking of which, you are still a daughter-in-law, but you haven't cooked in this old house for a day, and you haven't served your parents- Now I will give you a chance to honor your parents-in-law. Look how thoughtful my third sister-in-law is for you. Do you think I'm right?
Sun Shi has been punished for doing family work these days, and she is about to die of exhaustion. Although Wang Shi Li also came to help her during the Spring Festival today, all the heavy work still belongs to her. She couldn't be angry with these two people, and she couldn't support them. There was a reason to see Su Zhi coming. She thought that even if she couldn't make herself hurry, she would be happy if she was tired.
Wang's face was straight, but she didn't say anything. What Sun said was not unreasonable. If she objected, didn't it mean that Su Zhi didn't cook for her parents-in-law? Li also thought the same. She looked at Su Zhi, but she really couldn't help her. She could only make amends with her eyes.
Su Zhi looked at Sun Shi and ignored her. She glanced at the kitchen and saw that this kitchen was really not as good as the kitchen at home. Although it was not dirty, it just didn't feel so pleasing to the eye. But it's not her home, and she doesn't care. Seeing that the meat and vegetables had been cut on the case, she thought of the food she ate here last time. Although it tasted like home-cooked dishes, it was really not as delicious as her own.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, today is the Spring Festival, then I will cook. You can take a break and let the third sister-in-law help me."
Su Zhi said that it's just a meal. She won't feel anything. Anyway, she has to go into her own mouth. Besides, if she really doesn't do it, I don't know what Wang will think. She knows that although Wang is good to herself now, she used to have an idea about herself. After all, she wanted to find It was folded back. Besides, if the Sun family finds an opportunity to take this reason to say a few bad words to Shen Youfu, the year will not go well again.
Su Zhi, as long as she can live a smooth life, she will not want to go to war at any time.
As soon as Sun heard that she let herself do it and let the two of them go to rest, she was very unhappy. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a cry outside. She thought which mourning star this was. She cried during the Spring Festival. As she spoke, she scolded her.
Wang said coldly, "It's not your good son. It's really unlucky!"
When Sun Shi heard this, it was really her baby. Hearing that Silang was crying, she immediately ran out.
