Chapter 84 Gifts

After dinner in the evening, the family also finished washing up. Gu Zhao and Wang Mingqing were playing in the quilt on the kang.

The two of them had no idea what they were whispering about!

After dinner today, Gu Zhao brought Wang Mingqing's child over and asked Xu Muxian if they could sleep together today.

Looking at Wang Mingqing's big eyes shining with hope, of course Xu Maqian would not refuse!

After patting their little heads and telling them not to forget to tell Wang Yuqing, they agreed!

Gu Huaijin was sitting at the Kang table, half-lying down and looking at the book in his hand.

Xu Muxian was sitting in front of the dressing table, arranging her hair. She said casually, "By the way, my sister-in-law's house is hosting a stove-warming banquet tomorrow night. Don't forget to come back early!"

"Yeah! Got it!" Gu Huaijin said without raising her head.

Then he seemed to remember something, "My sister-in-law has many children, and Brother Hui and Sister Lin are both grown up. This time we will just give them a larger red envelope. What do you think?"

Xu Muqian stopped and looked at Gu Huaijin in the mirror, thinking that he seemed not surprised at all when he heard that his sister-in-law's family was hosting a banquet!

Did someone tell him in advance?

Xu Muchian glanced at him and asked for a larger red envelope. Is this red envelope a good one?

The minimum starting price is fifty taels, but even ten thousand taels can’t help you!

Xu Muzhen thought for a moment and said, "That's right, the second sister-in-law came to see me today, and she wanted to ask what gift I would give to the elder sister-in-law's family tomorrow."

"You also know that the second sister-in-law and second brother are not in good health. They started to get sick when they came here. I am afraid that the money at home is not sufficient. We are young, what do you want them to do with a big red seal?"

Gu Huaijin raised his eyes from the book when he heard what she said.

Thinking about it in his heart, his wife was right.

The second brother's family is indeed not well-off, and he still has a little Feier to raise, so I'm afraid he won't be able to afford a big red envelope!

How can this be done!

When I came back from the fields today, I happened to meet cousin Rui, and he also told me about this matter.

I lamented that Brother Hui in the eldest brother's family is already quite old, and the marriage that was planned in the past has been canceled due to the decline of the family.

Now he can only read ordinary books at home, he can't even go to school, and it may be difficult to find a marriage partner.

And Gu Lin, he will be able to find his in-laws in two years.

But if a woman doesn’t have a decent dowry, she will be bullied and looked down upon by anyone she marries!

That's why Gu Huaijin wanted to take the opportunity of this banquet to subsidize the elder brother's family a little!

In fact, he didn't think that deeply! Or he thought that Suili brothers should be almost the same!

Just as Gu Huaijin was thinking about it, Xu Muxian stood up from the dressing table and took out the fabric that was shown to Chen today.

Said: "Look, I originally thought of giving these two pieces of cloth to the eldest brother's family as a stove-warming gift, plus a red seal of five taels of silver, so that the second brother's family can also afford it!"

"Isn't it a little small to only give cloth and five taels of silver?" Gu Huaijin felt that it was a little different from what he thought.

The important thing was still a little hard to come by. He had agreed with his cousin Rui that each family would give fifty taels for brother Hui's son and sister Lin's wedding.

Now, I think about my second brother’s house again, and it’s true...

He looked at the fabric in Xu Muzhen's hand and said, "Isn't this the fabric you just bought for winter clothes? Give this to them..."

Gu Huaijin somewhat disagreed.

My wife’s clothes haven’t been made yet! It’s going to be cold soon!

"It's nothing. I'll just go to the market to pull some fabric after I've been busy for a while." After saying that, Xu Muzhen laughed again, "I'm afraid your new clothes will have to wait too."

Gu Huaijin said nonchalantly, "I'm not in a hurry, I can withstand the cold better than you! Don't you often say that I am a big stove? In my heart! As long as the lady doesn't get cold!"

"You talkative!" Xu Muzhen looked at him and said angrily.

After saying that, she sighed and said, "Brother Lai Hui is also the eldest grandson of our house, so wasting time like this is not an option!"

"Hey! Don't mention it. Today I heard that Brother Hui is the one who works in my eldest brother's house!" Gu Huaijin said helplessly.

"What? How old is Brother Hui? His body bones haven't grown yet! He doesn't have to worry about getting hurt if he does things so early! My sister-in-law can rest assured!" Xu Muzhen was slightly shocked!

This boss is really...

There is a strong adult man who refuses to go, but a child is left to do the work!

Fortunately, they can do it! They still show off that they are the eldest and legitimate grandson!

"Oh! I heard from cousin Rui that my eldest brother felt uncomfortable when he got up in the morning, so he temporarily asked Brother Hui to do the work for him."

"Uncomfortable?" Xu Maqian thought, it was a coincidence that I felt uncomfortable in the morning and in the evening, but I didn't feel comfortable today!

This farm work, whether it's light or heavy, is worse than carrying sacks.

But how can children from aristocratic families like them, who have been pampered since childhood, be able to do this?

For example, Gu Huaijin practiced some body-building techniques, but when she came back today, her steps were weak and weak!

I just don't know how Gu Hui, who is as frail as a scholar, can bear it.

Xu Maqian was thinking about it and saw Wang Mingqing, who was sleeping on the kang with Gu Zhao, and an idea came to his mind.

Said: "It's better to do this. Let's give this gift to me. Tomorrow I will pull some fabrics that my elder brother and sister-in-law can wear."

"As for Brother Hui, I heard that our Qianhu Institute also has a school. How about letting him go to school with Yu Qing? We will pay for the tuition, which is a small favor!"

When Gu Huaijin heard this, he immediately thought it was a good idea!

He sat up and hugged Xu Muchian and said, "Madam, you really have a good idea!"

In this way, Gu Hui would not have to waste time at home during his schooling years and only do things in the fields every day.

Wang Yuqing, who lives next door, is also a good reader and has read a lot of books at a young age.

Usually when he sees nothing, he borrows books from bookstores in the market, or makes money by copying books for bookstores!

Xu Muqian, who was suddenly hugged, lightly punched Gu Huaijin and said angrily: "What are you doing, the child is still here!"

"They are asleep!" Gu Huaijin held his beloved wife in his arms and glanced at the two boys with their eyes closed.

When I hugged my wife, my tired body felt like I could do it again!

He put his head on Xu Muchian's neck, smelling the faint fragrance of gardenia coming from her body, and felt itchy in his heart.

As he rubbed it, his heart became angry.

He gently rubbed his lips against Xu Muzhen's earlobe and said something in a hoarse voice.

Xu Muxian was only shocked.

She really didn't expect that this guy was going... to a place like the study!

"I don't want it, why didn't you say you have a rest today!" Xu Muchian said, covering her earlobes with a slight blush on her face.

"I said I would have a rest tomorrow, but you remembered it wrong!" Gu Huaijin was lying!

After finishing speaking, he stopped giving anyone a chance to speak and directly sealed his pink lips.

Xu Muqian was so frightened that she slapped him. This time the child was really there!

After receiving the instruction, Gu Huaijin let go of her, touched her forehead lightly, hugged her and walked to the study.

When they got to the study room and sat on the Kang, Xu Maqian was no longer pretending to be reserved.

At this point, being reserved is a spoiler!

After all, this was a matter between two people, and she also enjoyed it.

Her cheeks were red, and she put her arms around the man's neck. After a while, the temperature in the study gradually became hotter.

I was still thinking in my heart that I couldn't let him fiddle with me for so long this time.

It’s been a tiring day today, and there are still a lot of things to be busy with tomorrow!
