After a simple breakfast, Wen Shutang stood up and went to the kitchen to find the Poria cocos cake she had made that day. She gave some to Xue Ming and Zhao Sixian, and she also kept a few more for herself.
Many people in the village have helped her with many things, and these snacks are her token of appreciation.
After packing the Fuling cakes into food boxes, Wen Shutang walked out of the kitchen and found Xiao Yizhuo: "I'm going out for a while. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I'm going to deliver something to my neighbors."
Xiao Yizhuo nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"No need, I'll go by myself. After I come back, we'll go to my mother's house and spend the next two days with the two old people. After the first month of the lunar year, we'll move to town." Wen Shutang told Xiao Yizhuo his thoughts.
It is a bad omen to move during the first month of the lunar year, so they can move to the town after the first month of the lunar year.
"Well, Aze and Wan'er should go to the academy and the clinic after the first month of the year. Then I'll pack my things and go to my mother-in-law's house when you come back." Xiao Yizhuo nodded slightly in response.
Wen Shutang said "hmm" and then turned and walked out of the yard. She first went to Aunt Sun's house. Aunt Sun was the first person she met shortly after she came here. This simple woman gave her a lot of warmth.
Wen Shutang really wanted to thank Aunt Sun. When everyone had opinions about her, Aunt Sun did not believe the rumors and generously helped her.
She walked into the yard and found Aunt Sun and Yang Gang sitting in the yard chatting. The old couple had nothing to do on New Year's Day.
"Aunt." Wen Shutang called out with a smile.
Aunt Sun looked up when she heard the voice and found that it was Wen Shutang. She immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Girl, come in and sit down. Why are you here at this time?"
Wen Shutang took Aunt Sun's arm and sat on the stool with her. Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. I am here to wish you a happy new year and a safe and healthy life ahead."
As she spoke, she handed the food box to Aunt Sun: "This is the snack I made myself, please don't think it's shabby."
Aunt Sun didn't expect that Wen Shutang would come to wish her a happy new year specifically for a neighbor. She was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
She took the food box and said excitedly, "Hey, good child, you are such a good girl. I am so happy that you have such a thoughtful thought."
Aunt Sun put the food box on the table, held Wen Shutang's hands with both hands, and looked at her with eyes full of joy and love.
Although this girl had done a lot of ridiculous things in the past, she has become more and more sensible since she changed her mind. Now she even thinks of wishing a happy new year to an old woman like her.
Wen Shutang responded with a smile, and turned to look at Yang Gang who was a little dazed: "Uncle, I wish you good health and all the best."
Hearing Wen Shutang talking to him, Yang Gang came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded repeatedly: "Oh, okay, okay."
"The Wen family has really raised a good girl. She will definitely have a great future." Aunt Sun became more and more satisfied with Wen Shutang.
"Aunt, you're too kind. I didn't do anything. Well, I have to go see my parents later, so I won't keep it here for long. Don't forget to eat this snack." Wen Shutang stood up with a smile.
Aunt Sun saw that she was about to leave and quickly stood up, took out a small cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Wen Shutang: "Girl, you came to wish me a happy new year, how can I let you go back empty-handed? Come on, take this lucky money."
Wen Shutang was a little embarrassed and said, "Aunt, I'm already so old, and I still need lucky money. Please take it, I don't want it."
"Tsk, don't refuse it. This is not for you. It's for the three children in your family. Good girl, please take it quickly, otherwise I will not be able to accept your things." Aunt Sun said angrily.
Wen Shutang waved her hands and refused as she walked out: "No, no, Auntie, you act like you're buying something from me. Those cakes are specially for you two. Okay, I really have to go, Auntie."
Seeing that Wen Shutang was determined not to accept it, Aunt Sun had no choice but to watch her gradually receding figure helplessly and shouted: "Then bring the children to my house for dinner in a few days, and I will make delicious food for you!"
Wen Shutang turned around and responded. Aunt Sun stood at the gate of the yard and watched her back disappear completely before returning to the yard.
Looking at the food box on the table, Aunt Sun sighed.
This girl is so honest. How can an old woman like her feel comfortable with this?
Yang Gang took a puff of the dry tobacco in his hand and said, "I didn't expect that this girl from the Wen family is so polite. She even thought of our villagers during the New Year."
Aunt Sun glanced at him, walked forward, opened the food box, took out the Poria cocos cake and placed it on the table, snorting.
"I've long said that Wen is a good kid, and told you not to listen to the gossips of those gossipy women in the village. Do you believe me now?"
After leaving Aunt Sun's house, Wen Shutang went to the house of Uncle Liu, who drove a ox cart. She had been here for so long that she had to take Uncle Liu's car every time she went to town, and she often troubled him to help carry things.
Uncle Liu was very surprised that Wen Shutang would come all the way to thank him, a driver, and he was stunned when he received the food box.
My impression of Wen Shutang's family has become much better.
The last place Wen Shutang went to was the home of Erfeng's mother Cui Qiuhong. She was very impressed by this woman. When Zhang Dahe deliberately made things difficult for their family, Cui Qiuhong stood up and spoke for her. It was also she who helped drive away Tian Yan's family who came to make trouble.
Wen Shutang remembers everyone's kindness in her heart, and she will return the kindness of others double.
When she found Cui Qiuhong, she was holding Erfeng and sewing cotton clothes in the yard.
She was a little surprised to see Wen Shutang: "Sister, why are you here?"
"It's Chinese New Year now, come and wish my sister-in-law a happy new year." Wen Shutang said with a smile, walked to the mother and daughter and pinched Erfeng's little face.
Erfeng is two years younger than Xiao Wan. She smiled when she saw Wen Shutang raise his chubby little face.
Cui Qiuhong was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Sister, you are so mean. I am the one who comes to you to wish you a happy new year. Your Xiaoye saved Erfeng last time, and I haven't come to thank him yet."
"Speaking of which, how's Erfeng's head?"
"It's almost healed now. Tian Yan and his wife didn't want to pay compensation, but when they heard that I wanted to report to the police, they immediately sent over one or two taels of silver." Cui Qiuhong held Erfeng in her arms and parted the little girl's hair for Wen Shutang to see.
A long light brown scar can still be vaguely seen.
"It's okay as long as she's fine. The little girl can't be left with scars. This is a pastry I made myself. Children should like it. It's not worth much money. Sister-in-law, please accept it." Wen Shutang put the food box in his hand on the table next to Cui Qiuhong.
"That won't do, sister. Please take it back. I haven't even thanked you yet, and you're giving me something." Cui Qiuhong quickly refused.
Without waiting for Wen Shutang to speak, Erfeng in her arms reached out to open the food box, pointed at the white pastries inside, and spoke incoherently.
"Mom, yes, auntie, thank you."
Wen Shutang was immediately touched by the cute look of the little girl. He picked up a piece of cake and put it in Erfeng's hand, saying in a gentle tone, "Erfeng, do you want to eat this? Good girl."
Seeing Erfeng eating the cakes in small bites, Cui Qiuhong felt a little embarrassed: "Sister, I thank you on behalf of the child. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."
