Xia took a glance, but she thought a lot when she saw the shocked look in her daughter's eyes!

"Mom, I'm going to play," Yao Dongbao said and was about to go out.

Xia quickly stopped him, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, "Dongbao, come on, give the red envelope to Mom, and Mom will put it away for you. What if you lose so much money?"

When Dongbao heard this, he immediately protected the red envelope and looked at Xia with very wary eyes. "Mom, I'll hide it myself," he said and ran into the house.

"Haha," causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Sure enough, adults would take away children's red envelopes in the name of helping to put them away at any time.

"Cousin, I brought you a gift." Wang Ruixue said, taking out a long box from his cotton-padded jacket and handing it to Yao Wenwen.

"Ah, Ruixue brought a gift to Wenwen," Ms. Xia was surprised! His eyes were full of smiles and curiosity.

Others also cast curious glances.

Yao Wenwen was a little flattered, her eyes were stunned for a moment, her mouth slowly opened, she took the box, opened it and almost blinded her eyes.

Inside were a gold walking stick, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold hairpins.

"Good boy," Ms. Xia took out the gold walking stick with trembling hands. She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell out, "This, this is too expensive," she had never seen such precious gold jewelry in half her life.

Yao was surprised for a moment, with smiles in his eyes.

"Oh, this is too expensive," Shan's eyes were horrified, and with trembling hands, she took the golden walking stick from Xia's hand and put it into the box. She quickly closed the box and returned it to Wang Ruixue.

Yao Wenwen's hands were still frozen, her chest was short of breath, and her hands were trembling slightly. It was the first time she saw such an expensive gift, and she was immediately moved. This cousin was so generous.

Wang Ruixue handed the box to Shan, "Grandma, I gave this specially to my cousin. No matter how valuable it is, it is still a thing that belongs to me. I am just a cousin. If I am not good to my cousin, I will be good to whoever. You can keep it for her. I will wait for my cousin later. It can also be used as a dowry when you get married, so decent."

It's a lie that Xia is not touched at this moment. It's so precious and he gives so much.

"Hey, mom, please keep it. This is Ruixue's intention as a cousin." Wang Dashan strongly agreed with Wang Ruixue's approach.

"Well," Yao Chen nodded, "Take it. Since it is my granddaughter's wish, I have to accept it."

Shan touched Wang Ruixue's head lovingly and said, "Wenwen, why don't you come over and thank your cousin."

Yao Wenwen came over, took Wang Ruixue's hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Thank you, cousin. Cousin, I also have something to give you. Come on, go to my room."

Wang Ruixue nodded, and the two sisters left hand in hand.

Xia wanted to see the jewelry in the box again, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to endure it.

When she arrived at Yao Wenwen's room, Yao Wenwen took out an embroidered handkerchief and handed it to Wang Ruixue. She said nervously: "Cousin, I hope you don't dislike it." Compared with the gold jewelry Wang Ruixue gave her, her handkerchief seemed a bit shabby. .

Wang Ruixue took the handkerchief, which was embroidered with peonies. Although she didn't understand female red, she could tell that the embroidery was really good. "I like it very much. Yours is much more valuable than mine. The value lies in your heart."

"Really?" Yao Wenwen looked at her with watery eyes, full of joy.

"Of course, I like it very much." Wang Ruixue put the handkerchief away like a treasure.

Seeing Wang Ruixue put away the handkerchief like a treasure, Yao Wenwen was very happy, and then shared her secret with her.

"Sister, Zifu will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, right?" Xia asked while eating melon seeds.

Yao vomited out the melon seed skin and nodded, "Well, I will be seventeen after the New Year."

"But when a matchmaker comes to talk about marriage, you are really not in a hurry as a mother." Mrs. Shan was a little dissatisfied with Mrs. Yao.

"Mom, you really wronged me," Mrs. Yao looked at Mr. Shan with hurt eyes, "A matchmaker mentioned a few families. I asked people to inquire in private. Those families were not of good character, so I rejected them."

Xia rolled her eyes and suggested, "My natal family has a nice niece. She has a handsome appearance and a big butt. She will definitely have a son. She is good at embroidery and does good housework."

Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was about to ask.

Shan interrupted, "Your sister-in-law's mother-in-law's niece is pretty good, but her mother has a fierce temper and is unreasonable. After this marriage is concluded, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in peace in the future." Shan shook her head and rejected it directly.

Mrs. Yao nodded after hearing this, "That really can't be the case. The woman's family is not good and nothing is wrong. As long as the woman's family is sensible, it's fine."

Mrs. Xia could only feel sorry for her niece in her heart, "Sister, I'll go and inquire more to see if there is any suitable girl."

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers and sisters." Yao smiled and patted her hand.

"Hey, what's the hard work?" Xia smiled and waved her hands. What did she think of next? "Hey, this kid will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year, right? We have to look for him in advance."

"Hey, don't tell me yet, mother, sister-in-law, I have fallen in love with a girl from Yangjiacun. Her family has good character." Then Yao told Yang Tu how to save Wang Ruixue and how to come to work in her house. She has good character and so on. .

Hearing this, Shan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were overjoyed.

Xia couldn't wait to ask: "What's your name? I have an aunt who is married in Yangjiacun. You can ask her about it. If possible, this marriage will be good."

Yao thought for a while, "The girl's name is Yang Qing, and her father's name is Yang Tu. Currently, I only know about the father and daughter, and nothing else."

"Oh, I have an impression. I'll go find out some other time." Xia's eyes were so excited that she forgot to peel off the candy wrapper and put it directly in her mouth. It took her a while to react.

Shan reminded, "Don't say anything else, lest you fail and be a little embarrassed."

Mrs. Xia patted her chest and said, "Mom, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows what to do."

"Hey, I went to Yao Fang's mother's house. She's back. I haven't gotten together with her for a long time." Yao finally remembered.

"Go ahead," Shan nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, the family left in an oxcart after dinner. When they left, Yao Wenwen held Wang Ruixue's hand with reluctance and her eyes were slightly red.

Wang Ruixue wanted to take her to play, but Xia comforted her that they would also go to celebrate the New Year in a few days, and Yao Wenwen grinned happily.

Yao would sigh from time to time when he returned home.

Wang Ruixue was confused, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" That's what happened when she got together with her little sisters.

Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter and said, "Sigh, alas, this family has problems that are difficult to recite. My mother has been growing up and has not had an easy life these years. My mother-in-law has a bad health and her husband fell down the mountain while cutting firewood." She broke her leg, and now she is the only one supporting the family. There are three children in the family, and they live without enough to eat every day. Now she looks much older."

Wang Ruixue was silent, she didn't know how to comfort her.

Yao asked tentatively: "Daughter, are we still short of people in our workshop? She asked my mother today, but she didn't agree. I told her to come back and ask."

Wang Ruixue thought for a moment and said, "Mom, let me see where there is a shortage of people. You can get back to her when the time comes." Since it's my mother's fault, can you help me?

"Hey," Yao finally smiled.

At night, Mrs. Shan took out the twenty taels given by her daughter and showed it to Yao Chen with a smile, "Old man, look, my daughter gave it to us. Now that my daughter is doing well, I feel relieved."

Yao Chen looked at the twenty taels of silver and was shocked. He tried to control his emotions and smoked a dry cigarette with a happy smile in his eyes. "Yes, life is getting better and better now."

Madam Xia coaxed Yao Dongbao's red envelope into her hand, and then brought Yao Wenwen's red envelope. She put them all together and counted them. "My dear, my sister's family is so generous. There are two taels of silver here." Madam Xia narrowed her eyes with a smile, feeling regretful that she did not have much Have several children.
