Chapter 1912 Mid-Autumn Festival gifts
I have been making mooncakes since yesterday afternoon, and now I am getting busy again. One thousand or hundreds of mooncakes is not too much. Today I have hired more than 20 people to make mooncakes. In the evening, everyone can eat Mid-Autumn mooncakes.
.
"Everyone, please work more seriously. At noon, reporters from CCTV will come to our place for interviews. By then our Lugu Village will be in the newspapers!"
Jiang Xiaoye patrolled back and forth.
He discovered that the development of this era is more interesting than in Yushan Village before, and everything needs him to develop!
Lugu Village ushered in the largest scale of labor!
Build roads, lay mud bricks, build new houses, make clothes, bake moon cakes, build brick kilns, build tile factories...
Children ranging from a few years old to 80-year-olds, everyone who can help with something, are all working. Even Xiaoya is carrying a big teapot to deliver water to each house.
Children in this era are very strong. A thin and weak child can walk back and forth with weights weighing dozens of kilograms.
Jiang Xiaoye's design includes canals, reservoirs, areas for raising pigs, areas for raising chickens and ducks, barren hills, and areas that can be cultivated. There are few fields in Lugu, but there are many fields that can be cultivated.
Now is different from the future. In the future, you can buy it if you have money. Now there are many things that are difficult to buy even if you have money.
"Brother, do you want some water?"
Xiaoya ran over with a red face. The big teapot at this time was really too big.
"If you don't want to drink, go play when you are tired." Jiang Xiaoye touched the little girl's head. This girl was so obedient.
"Brother, what movie is playing tonight?"
When Xiaoya asked, many people around her pricked up their ears.
"It seems to be an underground battle." Jiang Xiaoye remembered saying that it was an underground battle.
Xiaoya ran away and reported to her new friends. People around her started spreading the news, and it spread quickly.
A few minutes later, Jiang Xiaoye heard a burst of singing.
"Tunnel battle, tunnel battle, thousands of divine soldiers ambushed..."
There were more and more people singing. Jiang Xiaoye smiled and ignored them. The entire Lugu Village was filled with joy and excitement.
"Xiaoye, we can make almost 1,500 mooncakes. How many are suitable?" Mom came. Originally, she bought the ingredients for 1,300 mooncakes. Jiang Xiaoye almost asked for the ingredients for 1,350 mooncakes. He was afraid that it would not be enough, but the villagers were thrifty.
, plus Jiang Xiaoye’s habitual memory of mooncakes is not very big, so there is still a lot left!
"Let's finish it all. There will be some leftover for you to give as gifts. Prepare some cans and mooncakes. You haven't given gifts for a long time."
Jiang Xiaoye doesn't have the habit of saving. These things are extremely precious now, but he is not short of money. Although he doesn't have much money now, the outcome is destined.
"Do it all?"
My mother was really distressed, but when she remembered that she had been in jail for so long and her relatives never gave her any gifts, now that her family's conditions were better, she was really moved.
In this day and age, not many people give gifts on August 15th, because there is nothing to give. Giving a few eggs or two pounds of noodles is very luxurious.
"It's all done."
I bought them all with my own money, and took the rest home with me, and there were no problems at all.
"Okay, is it too late to deliver today? How about Xiaoye ride to your grandparents' house in the afternoon and deliver some things to your grandpa's house? If you don't have time, let your eldest sister go, and I will do the same.
I can’t ride a bike.”
When I heard about giving gifts, my mother was moved.
She always felt that she was unfilial. The family had no food to eat before, which was fine when the man was around. But since the little girl's father fell into the dam and was washed away, the family was completely dependent on her.
If you don't even have enough to eat, you can't be filial at all.
"Afternoon? Okay, I'll take you and Xiaoya with me then. The car will fit in. It's just right. Some relatives nearby can give you something. On August 15th, just give a little less. Wait until the Chinese New Year.
Send some more."
The bike is so big that it doesn't affect Xiaoya at all when sitting in front.
Jiang Xiaoye is also professional when it comes to giving gifts.
"It's a long way."
"fine."
Jiang Xiaoye didn't care about this, thought for a while and said: "I'll go home and prepare it. I'll also pick up some of the mooncakes I made last night and put them in boxes. Do you have cans at home?"
"There are two." Mom straightened her hair and said, "How about I go back and clean up."
After she came out, she visited her parents' house and brought a few eggs, half a bag of noodles, and several kilograms of rice. Now that the conditions are better, she also wants to send more things.
Jiang Xiaoye was very generous in this regard. He thought for a while and said, "I'll take Xiaoya to my grandparents' house first. I'll give you some more. I happen to have some clothes here. Xiaoya, come here!"
The clothes were sent by Wang Jianlai. Now these clothes and electronic watches are sent to the county and are sold by the villagers when they go to the villages to sell cans.
They are all Hong Kong products, so it’s not easy to buy them even if you have money.
Xiaoya hurried over and looked up at Jiang Xiaoye curiously.
"Go home, put on your floral dress and white shoes, and take you to visit relatives!" Xiaoya now has several new clothes, but the eldest sister won't let her wear them, so the ones she wears are still relatively old.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoya ran away.
"Wash your hands and face first!"
"I know!"
Jiang Xiaoye was ready to give gifts. When he got home, he took a look and found that there were four or five kilograms of pork at home. Jiang Xiaoye cut it into portions. His second uncle and third uncle both lived in the surrounding villages, so naturally they wanted to give some gifts.
Jiang Xiaoye asked someone to deliver more than a dozen cans, and also divided some rice and noodles. After thinking about it, he took another two hundred yuan, and then the family would give them dozens of yuan.
In his memory, since little Ya's father was washed away by the water, these relatives had come to deliver things, not once or twice, but they all had a difficult time.
"Woof!"
Xiaopang chased after Xiaoya, who was also busy in the house.
Mom sent mooncakes. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoye packed so many things, she didn't say anything.
"Xiao Ye, should I go too?"
"Go and have a look. Go early and come back early. The reporter will be here in the afternoon."
Jiang Xiaoye nodded. The car was full of things. There were frames on one side, and the other side could carry people. Xiaoya had already changed her clothes and was waiting by the car, for fear that she would not be taken with her.
"Xiaoya, I remember there is some wine, please take three bottles."
The gifts are generous.
Ten minutes later, Xiaoya was blinking her big eyes. Can she ride on this?
There were meat and cans hanging on the handlebars, and there were rice, noodles, moon cakes, wine, and some small things on the back, plus three people...
The eldest sister is back to look after the door. There is still so much money at home, and it can’t be done without anyone watching.
"Let's go give gifts!"
"Ouch!"
