It was the first time Grandpa Li saw this little niece. He had always heard from his wife that the daughter born by his little daughter was different from other daughters, but it was a pity that she was not a boy.

Grandpa Li is not celebrating his birthday this time. He is only inviting close relatives. All those who are interested are here. The farmers will not invite chefs. They will cook together with their own family and set up a few tables in the living room and yard.

The uncle, brother-in-law, and their wives politely entertained Mr. and Mrs. Acer and began to work in the kitchen.

As a son-in-law, Acer will not be idle here. Farmers always have to help when they come to the father-in-law's house. If he is like a guest waiting for dinner, then it is inappropriate and he will gossip to others.

The uncle and aunt also went to the kitchen to help. The men killed chickens and ducks, while the women helped cut and wash vegetables. They divided the labor and cooperated.

Mrs. Li didn't stay to talk to her parents. She also went to the kitchen to help.

Grandma Qi handed the baby in her hand to Grandpa Li, which made Grandpa Li a little uncomfortable holding the baby, who had always wanted to hold his grandchildren.

When married women and relatives celebrate their birthdays, they usually have chickens or pork. Li's eldest sister caught a chicken and was killing the chickens outside. She also killed two of her own ducks.

Grandma Qi took a look at the gifts brought in by Mrs. Li. When you send a gift to the host's house, you need to give a gift in return. She also checked to see if there was any pork or the like and took it out for cooking. She cut it in half and used it as a gift in return.

Grandma Qi looked at the gifts. There were snacks, bacon, roasted chicken, roasted duck, and roasted pork. These were all very sincere gifts. There were also two sets of winter coats made of cotton.

It seemed to be men's and women's styles, and Grandma Qi understood that these were clothes for the two elders, and the fabrics were available in men's and women's colors.

Grandma Qi just didn't ask her daughter if she bought these gifts herself?

Seeing these gifts, Grandma Qi hurriedly called her husband to see them. When Grandpa Li saw these gifts, he did not say that his son-in-law spent money lavishly, but for the first time he felt that he had dignity in front of relatives.

Where did this son-in-law get these gifts in the past?

Grandma Qi asked her just now, but neither her son-in-law nor her daughter responded. At this time, she asked the eldest niece Da Ya, their parents bought so many things and spent a lot of money, right?

"Sister-in-law, isn't it great that your daughter and son-in-law are so filial? Why are there too many gifts?"

Among the relatives, Grandpa Li's eldest sister kept looking at the gifts with envious eyes.

"That being said, it's not easy to make any money. You have to spend it lavishly." Grandma Qi just finished her words.

Da Ya replied: "Grandma, my mother said that these gifts are gifts from the host family to grandpa, not bought by my mother."

"Oh, the Tang family is so generous." Grandma Qi took out the chickens, ducks, pork, and bacon, took them to the kitchen to cook, and asked the family to leave chicken legs and some meat for them to take with them.

go back.

Grandma Qi brought the things to the kitchen. Li and Acer, who were helping in the kitchen, didn't know what the gifts were.

Seeing so much meat, Uncle Li, the chef who was cooking, thought it would be a good time to show off his skills.

With the joint efforts of so many people, the meal was cooked quickly.

Da Ya picked up the little sister from her grandfather's hand, and she and her other sisters were playing with some cousins. The rice was cooked and it was about to be served. They came to the table to sit down.

Normally, women and children are not allowed to serve at the table, but today there were many dishes and there were not many guests, so both women and children could be served at the table.

The coachman was also having dinner with the host family. Grandpa Li had a birthday today and his face was red. Uncle Li picked up the jar of wine given by the Tang family and filled a glass of wine for all the men present.

The men drank and ate first and then the meal. Acer also had to give the honorable one a drink, and everyone wished Grandpa Li a happy birthday.

Here, the men drank and ate, started chatting, and started to open up the topic.

"Acer, how's your carpentry doing these days?"

Grandpa Li has heard some things, and it is not convenient for relatives to inquire. He only heard others gossiping to him. His son-in-law has become rich, and he should spend more money to be filial to his father-in-law.

When he heard others say this, he felt a little relieved, but he did not let his two sons, who were growing and selling vegetables, go find their son-in-law to find a job.

"It's okay. I used to do carpentry and learn carving, but I didn't use it to make money. Recently, I have some ideas. It happened that the Tang family took a fancy to my carving skills and wanted to cooperate with me to open a factory.

, the factory is now under construction.”

Acer will not hold back a word in front of his father-in-law. Everyone here is a relative.

"Brother-in-law, can you also find a job for your brother-in-law? Recently, the elderly at home have been sick and have spent a lot of money. The family is in a bit of trouble and I want to find something to do."

"Brother-in-law, I don't care about factory matters. For example, building a house now is the job that Butler Tang has hired. If you need a job, apply for it."

"Brother-in-law, I don't have any skills, I only have brute strength, and I'm not smart either. I'm really ashamed of your sister."

"It's okay. You applied for the job. Many people don't have skills. Anyway, if you have the opportunity to learn, just do it. You can make a little money. It's almost the Chinese New Year and it's not easy."

Uncle Li and his uncle heard what they said and wanted to join in.

"Brother-in-law, look at us brothers, we don't have any skills. We have made a living by growing and selling vegetables these years. If you have any ideas, for example, how can the vegetables we grow be marketable?"

""Or when your factory opens, I will also work in your factory and go to school if you don't know how. There is a job that may be better than me growing vegetables and selling them."

"That's right! We brothers can't make much money just by growing and selling vegetables. There are some things that the women in our family can do. It's the slack season now, so we have to do some work to make money during the New Year!"

After hearing what they both said, Acer understood that they wanted him to open the back door.

"As I said just now, if you want to find a job, go to Butler Tang. I just do carpentry and don't care about recruiting people."

Anyone who doesn't know Acer well would think that he is declining and does not want to introduce the job.

We are all close people here, and they all understand to some extent that Acer believes that people should not do things properly.

"Okay, let's go to work early tomorrow morning. It's only two miles away, much closer than walking to the county town to sell vegetables."

Several men chatted, and Grandpa Li felt comforted when he heard that both his son and son-in-law wanted to work.

Fathers do not expect them to be rich and powerful, as long as they work diligently, they will not worry about two meals.

Mrs. Li and her mother were sitting together. Grandma Qi said that her daughter had lost weight and should eat more.

"Second sister, she is much prettier than before. She looks younger than me." My aunt envied Li's fair face, which was not like the one she had in the sun every day. She was one or two years younger and looked older than Li.
