Her father asked Uncle Qi to carry her away. The shopkeeper next door was stronger than him and could barely walk upright, so Uncle Luo helped her back.
Fourth Uncle Qi and Fifth Uncle Qi had a heavy workload, with one person hanging on each arm.
The people in Xiaoan Village drank a lot. It was a snowy day. They were afraid that they would get sick from the wind when they returned like this. They used sledges to pull them to Mrs. Tian's original residence. The kangs in several houses were all set on fire and they were carried up one by one.
Sleeping together on the big kang.
After sending everyone away, Yan Yu couldn't wait to find the box that Wang Gonggong brought.
Li Xuemei put it on the kang table like a treasure, and placed it neatly. She also smelled her little hands, went down from the kang to wash them with water, and then came back. Then she calmed her breathing and put her hand on the box without opening it.
It was full of sense of ceremony and a little curious.
"Open it and take a look!" Li Xuemei urged.
Yan Yu said nonchalantly: "Mom, I have a hunch that the gift from Grandpa Wang will be very expensive."
Li Xuemei rubbed her eyebrows and smiled helplessly.
"If you want to drive, hurry up. If not, come over and help me wipe your father's body."
"Let's go." Yan Yu just took off her father's clothes and smelled of alcohol, so she said to wash her hands.
"Wow!" Yan Yu exclaimed.
Li Xuemei's eyes narrowed and she also showed a surprised look.
Yan Yu: "It's a pair of tigers, haha, and they have little wings."
To be precise, they are a pair of gilt flying tiger paperweights. They are made of copper and appear to have been aged for some time. The gilt on them has faded quite a bit, revealing the reddish metallic luster inside, with alternating yellow and red markings and deep engravings, making them even more antique.
The tiger is lying down, its wings are slightly spread, and it feels like it is about to rise up and flutter its wings.
Feihu Tongzhen is small and exquisite, full of weight, and can fit into the palm of an adult's hand.
Yan Yu quickly found some pieces of paper and placed a pair of paperweights at both ends.
Use your little hands to rub it back and forth.
The paper is as flat as a mirror.
"Easier to use than wooden bars!" She couldn't put it down, playing with it in her hands and unwilling to let it go.
"Then the prince gives such a heavy gift..." Li Xuemei frowned.
"Grandpa Wang cares about me too much!" Yan Yu said in a serious tone: "No wonder I don't want my father to miss me. Who doesn't love such beautiful paperweights? It's a pity that my father, a scholar, is not worthy of them. My uncle is about the same, but
Grandpa Wang said, this is for me, hahaha!"
"It's yours. Mom will keep it for you first. You're too frizzy to break such an expensive thing." Li Xuemei quickly took the Feihu Copper Town from her hand and put it back in the box.
, and then stuffed the box into the kang cabinet behind him, all at once.
Yan Yu pursed her lips in displeasure: "Mom, it's made of copper. How could it be broken? I'm so old, and you still keep it for me. You're not a child. You can use it now. I will use it well."
, but be careful.”
"The two pieces of wood your Uncle Qi Wu ground for you are good. If you don't think they are enough, ask your Uncle Qi Wu to grind two pieces for you." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu:……
Do I lack the wooden strips? I lack the beautiful, majestic and winged copper tiger.
But she also knew that if it was in her mother's hands, she would not come back unless her mother was willing.
"Here, give me a hand." Li Xuemei rolled up her sleeves and prepared to wipe Yan Laoer's body.
Yan Yu couldn't get her mother to do anything. She immediately wetted the cloth and turned her father around easily. After wiping his head and face, he wiped his neck, his chest and his back. After wiping his hands, he used the remaining water to
Her father washed his feet.
After cleaning up, the smell of alcohol on Yan Laoer's body became much lighter, and it was no longer suffocating.
While watching her busy, Li Xuemei said: "Your father is so drunk, I don't know if he will be able to get up tomorrow."
Yan Yu hummed and said, "If dad doesn't come back, I will go back to the village by myself tomorrow, and then go to Huju to give money to my uncle."
This time, the Yan family received the largest share of the horse sale. When it was broken down, Yan Yu took the lion's share, while Yan Huaiwen and Li Xuemei also took part. Another sum was allocated to the whole village, which meant that everyone in the Yan family had a share.
She can use her share in advance, which is what her uncle promised, but she still has to pay the dues, even if she only gives them to her once, this is not an unnecessary move, but a sign of respect for her uncle.
"By the way, mother, Grandpa Wang said that he wants to follow us to our village tomorrow." Yan Yu said.
Li Xuemei pondered: "He wants to send such expensive things to our village..."
"Maybe he has fallen in love with our village and wants to live there in the future. When my father and the shopkeeper next door were drinking together, Grandpa Wang often asked me about the situation in our village."
This idea is also easy to understand. They are both from Qishan Prefecture and their local accents are friendly. Moreover, Yan Yu really feels that Grandpa Wang likes her very much. Of course, she also likes her father. She likes people from Xiaoan Village and probably wants to be closer.
.
If she said that, Li Xuemei would feel at ease. Otherwise, she would have given her some pancakes, pickles, and the like for no reason. Why would she accept such an expensive gift?
Even so, she still felt uneasy.
"If we find an opportunity, we have to return a good gift. Let's celebrate the New Year. You and your father will buy a good New Year gift and send it to others." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Yu nodded and said, "Mom, except for the cattle and sheep distributed to our family, will all the rest be considered as our family's income?"
Li Xuemei calculated in her mind and said: "We don't have as much money as you alone. It's not enough to buy them all."
Yan Yu chuckled: "I can sell it cheaply! Sell it at a loss."
"Then what are you trying to do?" Li Xuemenahan asked.
"Sell it to your family, and you can still eat the meat, and you don't have to pay for it. You are financially free, haha!" Yan Yu pinched her waist and laughed.
Yan Laoer muttered and turned over.
Yan Yu immediately covered his mouth and said softly: "I have thought about it. I will keep part of the money for turnover, and lend the rest to Master. Just wait until Hu Ju recovers and then return it to me. Leave it in my hand."
, it’s nothing more than buying a house and land, but in the master’s hands, you can do a lot of things.”
Li Xuemei's eyebrows softened, and her heart felt soft.
"Our family has a business, and I have my own shop. If I run it well in the future, I will definitely be able to make money. Besides, I don't have any worries about lending money to my master. I cannot default on my debt. Hehe, it's okay if my master really doesn't pay back.
Let dad come and pay me back haha, give me a job and work for me...ah hahaha!"
Yan Yu felt like coke just thinking about it, and she rolled on the kang holding her stomach.
Li Xuemei couldn't help but laugh.
"You girl, please be gentle..."
…
Holding on to the sledge, he ran on the white snow.
There was a carriage following behind, and from time to time the prince would open the curtain to take a look at the little man in front of him.
"Uncle Wang, please put down the curtain. The waiters are used to running around, so don't worry." Yan Laoer lay comfortably on the carriage.
He was originally sitting, but he drank too much wine yesterday. Although he sobered up in the morning, the bumpy ride on the carriage gave him a headache again. The prince asked him to lie down, but he felt really uncomfortable, so he didn't hold himself up.
