By the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, He Feng had already arranged for his servants to send out all the New Year gifts.

The Lu family also received many gifts in return. The village chief's family gave a lot of sweet potatoes grown by themselves and eggs laid by their chickens. Wang Jiaozhen from the town also personally sewed soles for the Lu family, and everyone's size was very accurate.

The return gift from Shopkeeper Wu was a horse-drawn carriage full of cloth, bacon, fruits and snacks. The Gao family and the Jie family in the county also gave return gifts of their own, totaling a horse-drawn carriage.

The He family, which was the farthest away, was visited by the eldest uncle of the He family in person, bringing with him a lot of good things. He was smiling and was obviously very happy.

He Feng was a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Brother, you just came, why did you bring so many things?"

Although He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei have gotten the steamed bun shop business thanks to the Lu family and can earn a lot of money every month, the He family's financial resources are limited, so they should save more money.

He Feng couldn't bear to let her elder brother spend money. She looked at her elder brother with some anger and helplessness.

The eldest uncle of the He family smiled and said, "Feng'er, these things are not much and did not cost much money. Now Jiaxing and his wife are making buns, and our family is getting better and better. Big brother can still afford these things."

He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei, who were following behind the eldest uncle of the He family, also nodded and persuaded: "Yes, yes, aunt, we can afford these things."

These things, the pastries in the county alone, fill five boxes. Each box costs at least one or two taels of silver. He Feng had been to Yang County to buy these pastries before and knew the price.

But seeing that the He family said this, she smiled and nodded: "Don't do this next time, come if you want, aunt has everything here, you can save some money."

"Don't worry, auntie. I know what I'm doing." He Jiaxing patted his chest and looked very serious, causing everyone to laugh.

The eldest uncle of the He family brought He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei to meet Mr. He and Mrs. He.

Mr. He and Mrs. He had met He's eldest uncle before, and knew that he had taken good care of He Feng in the past and treated He Feng very well. They smiled and gave He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei a gift.

He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei were a little confused. Why did they come to meet their aunt's biological parents, and why did they receive such expensive gifts?

In He Jiaxing's hand is a piece of transparent jade, with a smooth texture and a great feel!

Xiao Wei was holding a jade bracelet, which looked the same as the one He Jiaxing had. They must have been made from the same piece of jade.

The eldest uncle of the He family was shocked and was a little afraid to let He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei accept it. He looked at He Feng eagerly.

He Feng smiled and said, "Jiaxing, Aidi, since it's given by my parents, just accept it quickly, it's okay."

He Jiaxing and Xiao Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Mr. He and Mrs. He.

He's uncle also breathed a sigh of relief. However, he touched his pocket and felt that the red envelopes he had prepared for Gu Yunxi's three children were too little. He couldn't help blushing.

Gu Yunxi and the others did not notice anything unusual about He's uncle. They smiled and invited him to eat fruits and snacks and drink hot tea.

The eldest uncle of the He family drank tea and felt warm. "By the way, Feng'er, Jiaxing said that after the New Year, he wants to buy a house in Yang County so that he and Aidi don't have to run back and forth every day."

He Feng was slightly surprised but also somewhat relieved when he heard this. In less than a year, the He family had saved enough money to buy a house in Yang County?

She smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Brother, have you decided where to buy a house? There are quite a few houses near the bun shop, but they may be a little more expensive in terms of money."

"If it's farther away, the price will be cheaper. If you're short of money, I'll get some for you later."

He Feng was grateful for the kindness of He's parents to her when she went to the He family. She was also grateful for the care of her by He's uncle. Otherwise, she might not have been able to live to this day and find her biological parents.

The eldest uncle of the He family waved his hand quickly: "No, no, the family has saved some money over the years. Besides, Jiaxing and his wife have brought a lot of money home this year, so I think it should be enough."

How could he ask for his sister's money? The He family's uncle knew that the Lu family was rich and that the He family was even richer. He felt inferior, but he also had to save face and have self-esteem, so he didn't dare to ask He Feng for money.

He Feng knew what kind of person her elder brother was, so when she heard him say that, she had no choice but to give up.

The Lu family invited He's uncle and several others to have dinner and stayed overnight. The next morning, after breakfast, they sent them back.

When He's uncle returned home, he found that the gift from He Feng contained a silver note worth one hundred taels, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Dad, this, this was given to me secretly by my aunt?" He Jiaxing was also very surprised. He lowered his voice, not daring to let his mother Wei hear it.

The eldest uncle of the He family nodded: "Yes."

He Jiaxing felt very unhappy. It was already a good thing for him and his wife to get his aunt's bun shop business. Now...his aunt actually gave them money directly to buy a house!

In the He family, it was their deceased grandparents who were kind to their aunt, not them.

He Jiaxing thought about it and decided that he could only continue to work hard to make more buns, save up enough money, and then return it to his aunt.

Wei heard the father and son talking outside, walked in, and asked suspiciously, "What were you talking about just now?"

Wei didn't go to the Lu family yesterday. It wasn't because she didn't want to go, but because He's uncle didn't allow her to go because Wei had harmed He Feng before.

It is impossible for He Feng to forgive Wei. He's uncle knows it well, so he will not let Wei go with her, so as to avoid embarrassing everyone during the New Year.

The eldest uncle of the He family glanced at Wei calmly and said, "Nothing much. Is the rice cooked? Where's Gou Wa?"

"Gou Wa is playing in the yard, so you guys go eat first. It's just ready." said Mrs. Wei.

He's uncle nodded, looked at He Jiaxing, and went out to eat.

Both the father and the son remained silent about the money given by He Feng and did not want to tell Wei.

Otherwise, if Wei knew that the family had such a large sum of money, she might have other ideas.

At the same time, the Lu family was distributing the betrothal gifts to the villagers.

The Lu family had already bought a lot of New Year's goods, and received so many New Year's gifts that they couldn't finish eating them all, so they simply distributed some to the villagers.

The villagers were very happy to receive the New Year gifts from the Lu family. Nothing was bad from the Lu family!

Mrs. Mo sat under a big banyan tree and cracked melon seeds. She felt jealous when she saw that everyone else had benefited from the Lu family, but they had nothing.

However, she did not dare to say anything gossipy. After all, the Lu family today was no longer the Lu family of the past. The Lu family now was someone she could not afford to offend.

Sister Lian saw that Mrs. Mo looked unhappy, and knew that Mrs. Mo was jealous, so she smiled and said, "Hey, Mrs. Mo, did your family get anything from the Lu family?"

"My family got a large bundle of cured pork leg meat. Wow, the Lu family is really generous. Even after becoming rich, they didn't forget us villagers."
