Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

Chapter 205: A generous New Year's gift

  Chapter 205 Rich New Year Gifts

  The day before New Year's Day, Han Mingxiu sent the wild boar head to Huo’s house early in the morning. In addition to this wild boar head, she also brought twenty quail cubs, ten catties of peanuts and thirty catties of rice ears.

Although Auntie Huo was a little dissatisfied with the new year gift Han Mingxiu brought, she still didn't give a dime to the future daughter-in-law during the New Year when she was an elder. If she wanted to be arrogant, she would have to pick it up first. Reason, so that's it...

  Grandma Huo really wanted to give her granddaughter some money to make her children happy, but the eldest daughter-in-law kept a close eye on her, fearing that she would steal the money from Xiaoxiu, so she didn't find this opportunity in the end.

  Han Mingxiu hopes Grandma Huo will not give her money, otherwise she will be under pressure. After all, the old man has no money. Could the money in her hand be saved from the gap between her teeth? How can she bear it? So it's better not to give it. With Aunt Huo watching, the grandmother's waist money has not been paid, Han Mingxiu is quite happy!

  However, grandma didn’t give her the money, so the eldest uncle and the aunt gave it, and they returned a full ten dollars.

  In fact, the uncle and aunt originally planned to give her five yuan. In this era, a substitute teacher's salary is only eight yuan a month. They gave Han Mingxiu five yuan, which is really a lot.

However, seeing the generous New Year gift she brought, the eldest uncle and aunt changed their minds. They felt that if they were to give her five dollars, the children would have to pay for it, and they couldn’t bear it, so they gave her five more. Yuan, in this way, the money given to her was ten dollars!

Han Mingxiu’s New Year gifts to his uncle and aunt are much richer than the New Year gifts to Huo’s family-there is a large piece of wild boar, about 20 catties, and a hundred quail eggs, (Sister Hai Xing once said Later, I will raise quail too. If these eggs are hatched, they will be enough for her to raise). In addition, I gave ten catties of apples, ten catties of crabs, ten catties of peanuts and ten catties of melon seeds.

   Watching her bring so many things, my aunt kept complaining: "You look at you, this is not an outsider. What are you doing with so many things? No, get half back in a while."

  Han Mingxiu smiled and said, “I didn’t take this by myself. This was my eldest sister, my second sister, and our three sisters came to visit my uncle’s house. Is this too much?"

  Apples in this season are very hot stuff, and big crabs are even rarer things. If Han Mingxiu said that it was her own New Year gift for her uncle and aunt, they would definitely be suspicious of the source of crabs and apples. Now that the second sister is added, they will no longer have any suspicions. After all, the second sister married in the city and is still a family of cadres. In their eyes, it is equivalent to marrying into a wealthy family, so it is not enough to be able to take out these things. Surprising.

Aunt    heard that it was the stuff of their three sisters, and she muttered too much, but she was not as excited as she was at the beginning.

  At lunch time, my aunt and Han Mingxiu raised her Wang Mantiao's house. Only then did Han Mingxiu know that the old Wang's family had already been separated, and Liu Zhaodi couldn't stand the new wife, so he had no choice but to separate the family with the pain. It's not annoying to live by yourself, let alone be angry with your daughter-in-law.

"Oh! It's not easy for them to keep their eyes on them." The aunt said with a grudge, "You don't know how the people in Tunli laugh at them! Putting a good wife like Cui'er and them to death, they finally gave it back to Xie. I went back to my family’s house. This time I’m fine, I took a tigress back to deal with them, this time they will suffer for the rest of my life, hahaha..."

  Han Mingxiu listened with gusto.

   To be honest, she now feels very relieved of her hatred, and she also has a strong schadenfreude. At this moment, she really wanted to go to Lao Wang's house to interview Liu Zhaodi and the others, and ask them what they were feeling now. How terrible?

  Because of being so excited, Han Mingxiu was like seeing Lao Wang’s family and seeing them in embarrassment with her own eyes. So when she returned home, she deliberately took a detour from the door of Lao Wang’s house.

  Unfortunately, all of Lao Wang’s people are probably in Maodong’s house, none of them are outside.

  However, the layout of Lao Wang’s yard has changed a lot. The original spacious courtyard and five adobe houses built in a grand manner have now been built by a wall in the middle of the courtyard to separate a house on the west from other houses. The courtyard and garden have also become two separate houses. It became two.

  Obviously, the old Wang family only separated the couple of Wang Mantuan, and the dutiful sons of Wang Mancang and Manwang Manku followed Wang Fengchun's couple.

  Han Mingxiu rode a bicycle around Lao Wang's house. The door of Lao Wang's house was closed, and there was no one in sight, so she had to go back.

  The next day, she went to the county again, this time to send everyone New Year’s goods.

  The New Year goods she prepared for everyone is very rich, a family of ten catties of wheat grains, ten catties of apples, ten catties of crabs, five catties of soybeans, five catties of mung beans, and a family of wild boar heads.

  Sister He Li has gone, and there are only seven families left. Among them, Uncle Zhou's house, Uncle Gao's house and Aunt Su's house did not divide wild boar heads. Instead, one family had a elbow. Uncle Zhou's house also had an extra pocket of bean bags.

  With these things, they can have a great New Year.

  When he sent these things over, these people were not as happy as she had imagined, even with a bit of panic and anxiety.

  Han Mingxiu asked before knowing. After the New Year, they are very scared, afraid that the young Red Guards will come back to their homes to ransack their homes or torture them. According to the usual practice in previous years, they have to come over and check it every year during the New Year. If they can check the things they want, if they can’t receive anything of value, they will definitely be beaten and scolded.

After Han Mingxiu learned of the situation, she took out all the beads and chains in her space that could not be sold in her previous life without hesitation, and gave them to them, asking them to keep them for emergencies. .

  These are not really valuable things. They are all the decorative chains bought to match clothes before, and some are souvenirs brought back by friends from the tourist area when they traveled. There are artificial jade bracelets worth more than ten yuan each, as well as hanging chains studded with rhinestones, gemstone rings made of plexiglass and imitation coral turquoise earrings made of high-grade plastic...

  These are worthless gadgets, but they are all fake fakes synthesized by later generations of high-tech. People with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that things placed on the rotten streets in later generations are fake.

  However, no one knows in this era, because there is no such high-end technology in this era that can make such a simulation thing, so if you take out any of them, you can use fake things to fool people who don’t know how to do it. Especially those Red Guards who don't know the depth of the attack, they will surely get a treasure.

  Han Mingxiu told them that if they are forced by those activists to be too helpless, they can take it out to respond to an emergency. But if you can hide, try not to take it out, otherwise if your appetite grows, you will have to persecute them in the future.

She also secretly gave the key to her rental house to Uncle Gao and Uncle Zhou, and told them that she had put a lot of rice and several bags of tree leaves in that house. If they were rice There is not enough food or the firewood is not enough to burn, you can go there to get it.

  In addition, Han Mingxiu also told them: She stored some frozen meat and dried vegetables in the small cylinder leg in the yard. If you don’t have any food to eat, you can also get some to eat.

  Next, she is going to visit her fiance in Hei Province. It is likely that they will live there for a while, and they will probably no longer be able to help them in the past few months. Let them take care of their bodies and protect themselves.

  Uncle Zhou and Uncle Gao were moved to see that Xiu'er had arranged their future paths properly. They all told her to be careful on the way, don't worry about them, they will definitely live in peace, waiting for her to come back...

  The house is almost settled here, and Han Mingxiu began to prepare things for going out.

  The down jacket was prepared by her in advance, that is, she took out her previous down jacket and remade it. The change is lighter and thinner, more fit, and easier to wear in the cotton jacket.

She also changed one of her mink fur coats into the style of ordinary cotton coats, which is to cover the mink fur coat with a removable and washable outer skin. If it is not removed, no one will know that the dress is inside. It will be expensive mink!
