After hearing what she said, Yunxi lay back down again. In such a cold day, it really takes perseverance to get up. They slept until three o'clock in the morning before Yunxi and the two got up. Speaking of which, Yunxi really felt that Mrs. Liu was a good mother-in-law.
In other families, if a daughter-in-law wants to sleep until this time, she may not be able to. Mrs. Ye is also an ignorant person.
Thinking of Mr. Ye, Yunxi talked to the people around him and told him what Daya said that day. Although Mr. Ye didn't come here to make trouble now, it was probably because of the Chinese New Year. If he didn't make some preparations, it would be more troublesome then.
.
"Okay, it just so happens that I have to make a delivery today, so I'll go and ask about it!" Liu Xingzhi agreed without thinking about it. He received a lot of things, so he started delivering them to the city, and the price difference between the two sides was enough for him.
He made a lot of money. But before he left, the gift-giver came.
Perhaps they didn't expect that someone would give them a New Year's gift. People in the yard gathered around unconsciously and saw clearly what was on the car. They couldn't help but feel envious on their faces.
Hu Ji and Qian Ji were both old customers, and each brought some cloth and some snacks. Shopkeeper Hu also gave a set of silver noodles. After all, Yunxi had made a lot of money for him, so he couldn't be too stingy.
In addition to these two people, Sister Li actually also gave people things, mainly fabrics, one piece of pink and one piece of navy blue silk and satin, which should be given to the two of Yunxi, some of cotton and Gebu, so that they can give them away, and others can be brought with them.
After that, let Yunxi go there when he has time. There is a big buyer and we can go and chat together.
To these three houses, Yunxi gave the same thing, one smoked sausage for each person, a small can of bean curd for each person, a small can of spicy cabbage, and a glass, which made up four items. Although it was not very valuable,
But it's pretty.
Shopkeeper Ma from Ma Ji Grain Store was more direct. He sent some uncommon seeds and a cart of grains, including coarse grains and fine grains. As expected from a grain store, he was simple and rude.
Yunxi gave the same gift in return, and brought an extra pair of glass bowls to give to Mr. Ma. They were also considered customers of Ma Ji, and it was still necessary to maintain the basic relationship well.
What they didn't expect was that Li Xi actually got someone to give him a New Year's gift. It was just a one-time encounter at first. After arriving in the capital, they didn't seem to have any more contact. The other party didn't know how they knew where they lived.
The gifts sent were obviously thoughtful. Cao Ji's eight snacks and various cloths were prepared together with Old Man Liu and others. The four portions of noodles should include the Ye family. In addition,
We also prepared some gadgets for the children.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the person next to her. Was this another relationship without her knowing?
Liu Xingzhi smiled dryly and touched his nose, "I just met him on the road and helped him a little bit!"
Yunxi chuckled. If it was just a small favor, would Li Xi send so many things? That's all. After years of fighting in his previous life, it was understandable that he was a little nervous for a while.
The other party gave so many things, so naturally the return gift couldn't be the same. On the basis of the original, Yunxi added two bags of tea and a duvet. Thinking that he had children at home, he added a few snacks and collected ten
Kind of, and quite heroic enough.
This delay is too late, we can only ask again tomorrow! Liu Xingzhi went to deliver the goods, and several children came to Yunxi to beg for candies. Yunxi got a handful of peeled fruit candies from the space.
Each person divided a few pieces. Xu Dashu and Liu Silang didn't go out today. Seeing that there was candy, they also came to beg for candy with a smile.
"Third Aunt, tell us a story!" Xiaobao took the candy, put it in his pocket, stepped forward and hugged Yunxi's legs, raised his head, and looked at her cutely with his big eyes.
Yunxi picked him up and said with a smile: "Okay, let me tell you a story about the New Year! Legend has it that in ancient times there was a ferocious beast with sharp teeth, eyes like copper bells, and a body of ten feet. Every New Year,
On that day, he came down the mountain to eat children, just like you, he likes to eat the most!"
When the children heard this, they couldn't help but shrink back, making Yun Xi burst into laughter.
"Third sister-in-law, what happened next?" Xu Dashu held a child who was leaning against him in his arms and urged: "Third sister-in-law, please continue talking!"
"In the past, in order to avoid the New Year, people would hide in the mountains on the New Year's day. They would not come back secretly until they could not find anyone during the New Year. So every time the New Year came, everyone was very scared." Yun Xi continued.
Said: "Later, there was an immortal who couldn't stand it anymore. He secretly ran to the human world and told the people in the village, don't look at that Nian beast as scary. In fact, he is very timid. He is afraid of the color red, the sound, and the sound.
Light! After the villagers heard this, they started buying red paper and pasting Spring Festival couplets, setting off firecrackers and hanging lanterns. They will never dare to enter the village again next year!"
"Third Aunt, are the Nian beasts afraid of the red clothes we are wearing?" Xiaoya pointed to her new clothes.
"Of course I'm scared. Look, now during the Chinese New Year, the Nian beast doesn't even dare to come out! Have we never seen the Nian beast?" Yunxi touched her head. The little girl in red clothes looked like a New Year doll.
of.
"No, Third Sister-in-law, I saw the Nian Beast yesterday!" Xu Dashu shook his head and said, "I know, since it is afraid of light, it must have seen the torch in my hand and hid!" Xu Dashu raised his head with some pride.
jaw.
"Really or not? Didn't Sister-in-law make up the story she told?" Liu Silang looked at Xu Dashu doubtfully, then turned to look at Yunxi.
"No, I really saw it. I drank too much soup last night. I got up in the middle of the night and wanted to go to the latrine. I felt afraid of the dark, so I took a torch. Then I saw a dark shadow where we were digging the channel.
I wanted to see it clearly, so I took a few steps forward with the torch, and the black shadow suddenly disappeared. I waited for a while, but I didn't see it appear. I heard what the third sister-in-law said again, it must be the Nian beast.
You were scared away by my torch! Otherwise, why would you suddenly disappear?"
"Isn't there really a Nian beast? Is there really a god?" Seeing his certainty, Liu Shilang began to feel unsure.
"Of course!" Xu Dashu, who is an avid fan of gods, ghosts and monsters, immediately affirmed, "You have forgotten, we have seen goblins, and where there are goblins, there are gods. Let me tell you, I have also heard that there are weasels.
Those who become spirits, some snakes become spirits, some..."
Yun Xi frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "Come on, let's go see if we can catch a Nian beast?" Whether it is a human or a ghost, you will know if you just take a look.
"Okay, Third Sister-in-law, I'm going to get the firecrackers. I still have red paper at home, so I'll take it too!" Xu Dashu suddenly became interested and hurried home to get the things. Yunxi shouted several times, but he didn't
use.
"Sister-in-law, please wait for me, I'll be back soon!" Liu Shilang was dubious at what he said. He thought for a moment and rushed back to the room. He came back soon without taking anything.
