Hearing this, Lin Dahu and the two subconsciously looked at Ye Chuqiu. After seeing her nodding slightly, they shouted together: "Uncle Qi."
"That's right." Mr. Qi Er asked his servant to bring two boxes and handed them to the Lin Dahu brothers respectively, "This is a gift from your uncle."
"Thank you, uncle." The two brothers glanced at Ye Chuqiu and saw that she had no objection, so they accepted it.
"Since you gave gifts to the two children, let me give Miss Qi a gift too." Ye Chuqiu said with a smile.
"No, no need." Mr. Qi Er waved his hands slightly. He knew that Ye Chuqiu's family was not well off and he didn't want her to spend money.
"It's not a valuable item, just a gadget." Ye Chuqiu said, taking out a small box from his sleeve.
Opening the box, there was a box of perfume inside, which Ye Chuqiu signed for every day, but she didn't usually use it, so it was just right for giving as a gift.
"This thing is called perfume."
Ye Chuqiu took out the perfume, took off the cap, and gently sprayed it twice in the air. A fragrant fragrance was scattered in the air.
"Perfume? It really lives up to its name."
Mr. Qi Er nodded slightly. His wife had been dead for many years, so maybe this new thing called perfume has become fashionable again.
It was just this transparent bottle that made him a little curious, but he always had a good reputation in front of Ye Chuqiu, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just smiled slightly and accepted the gift from Ye Chuqiu.
"One more gift for you."
Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and took out a small box. When he opened the box, there was a lighter inside. This lighter was pretty good-looking. It had a stainless steel heart shape on the outside. After opening it, there was a light blue flame.
When it came out, Ye Chuqiu used it once in front of the second master Qi, and then handed it to the second master Qi.
"Is this... a fire seal?" Mr. Qi Er was also very curious when he saw the lighter handed over by Ye Chuqiu.
"Well, it has a special fuel inside. Every time you want to use it, you just pop open the lid." Ye Chuqiu explained. After Mr. Qi Er got the lighter, he tried it out and couldn't put it down.
This lighter is undoubtedly an advanced thing at this time, but Mr. Qi Er is a scholar and he has never paid attention to these things. Although this lighter is very novel, he thinks these are just fancy tricks. After a moment of wonder, he
Put it away.
"Okay, I'm going to say goodbye. I don't know when we will meet again. I wish Mr. Qi all the best and success." At the end of the banquet, Ye Chuqiu gave his blessing.
"I wish you good luck and hope that your future will be better and better, and that you will be rich and prosperous." Mr. Qi Er said.
After the banquet was over, Ye Chuqiu led his two sons home. On the way, Lin Dahu and his wife opened the box. There were twenty taels of silver and a piece of blue silk inside. The two boxes contained the same thing.
When Lin Dahu saw the silver, he felt a little ashamed and dared not accept it, "Mom, Uncle Qi has given us too many things."
"What did you give?" Ye Chuqiu smiled faintly after seeing it, "To us, this money is a big sum, but to others, it is just a gift of snake oil."
"oh."
"Okay, don't think too much. Mr. Qi saw that our family was poor and wanted to help us, so he gave us the things we needed most. Didn't my mother just give them novel gifts?
We reciprocate politely and no one is inferior to anyone else."
"Um."
Although the two brothers still felt that the money was valuable, they didn't say anything when they heard what Ye Chuqiu said. They just took the initiative to hand over the money to Ye Chuqiu.
Ye Chuqiu thought for a while and left the silk cloth for them. He collected the money himself first and said, "Mother, I will save this money for you first. Keep the big tiger's money for future childbirth expenses; keep the second tiger's money."
How about the expenses for marrying a wife in the future?"
"It's mother's arrangement," the two brothers said honestly.
Ye Chuqiu collected the money and thought about it, not letting them go in vain, so he gave each of them fifty cents and asked them to buy something by themselves. Both brothers refused to accept it and only let her keep it.
Now that Zhao Hehua has recovered from his illness, his family's braised food stall has started to operate again, but the business is a little worse than before, mainly because there are more braised food on that street. Many people have discovered the secret of Ye Chuqiu's braised food stall and also go there.
Add sweet peppers to it. Although the food made by these people is not as delicious as Ye Chuqiu's home, it is better because it sells it at a cheaper price, so it takes away a lot of Ye Chuqiu's business.
Ye Chuqiu's braised food is still expensive. Firstly, she plans to take the high-end route. Secondly, she has to give others room to survive. However, although the daily income from her stall is not as much as before, it is still enough for her family's daily living expenses.
She is not a person who likes to make troubles. Thanks to the system, she now has many ways to make money, including cement and glass formulas, but she is not in a hurry to do these.
The man is not guilty, but the treasure is his fault. Before she has the strength to protect these achievements, why should she bother? Just make some snacks, grow some mushrooms, and maintain a simple life for the family. That is enough.
After returning home, Ye Chuqiu sat in the yard for a while, listening to the wind and smelling the fragrance of flowers. She didn't know how comfortable life was, but she always felt that she had forgotten something. It wasn't until Zhao Hehua came to ask her to have dinner that she remembered,
It turned out that she forgot to deliver food to Ye Qin and his wife.
This time, she starved them for three days.
"You're not going to starve to death like this, are you?"
Ye Chuqiu thought like this, and walked to the wooden house with a bowl of sticky fat meat. After opening the small window, a dry hand stretched out instantly.
When Ye Chuqiu handed the food to them, they ignored it and grabbed it with their hands. Even the two old people started to grab it. Ye Chuqiu could hear the two people fighting through the small window.
After everyone rushed to finish the bowl of sticky fat, the sound of vomiting came again in the room, and then, Ye Qin's sharp and terrifying voice came out, "Ye Chuqiu, you are so cruel.
Let us out! I am your mother, you can't do this to me!"
Ye Chuqiu has heard this kind of words many times. She turned a deaf ear to it. The best way to torture someone is to ignore her, making her unable to feel the passage of time and making her next time long and boring.
Every minute is wasted.
Then, just as she was about to leave, another voice came from inside the wooden house, "We are not your parents, please let us go!"
These words made Ye Chuqiu stop in his tracks.
"I'm not your father and mother, please let us go. If you lock us up again, we will be driven crazy."
Seemingly sensing Ye Chuqiu's hesitation, Ye Qin continued: "You are not our daughter at all, you are just a child we picked up. We have raised you for seven years and have been very kind to you in raising you. You can't treat her like this.
