Chapter 886 Giving Gifts(2/2)

When Fan Tong saw it, he quickly grabbed a rice dumpling and salted duck egg.

After Fan Tong tasted the rice dumplings and duck eggs, he quickly chased after Mrs. Fan. Then, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Fan Tong and his family ate everything sent by Xiao Mansion.

......

Dong family.

Liu Xiaoman ate the red bean and red date rice dumplings with a smile: "Mom, my siblings are really nice people. They know that I like to eat their pastries. I am embarrassed to have sent so many of them this time."

Compared with other families, the Dong family's gifts are much heavier. Daohua also knows that the Dong family's life is a little difficult now, so she specially gave some more food.

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Dong smiled and said while sorting out the gifts sent by Daohua: "Yiyi gave our family a gift, and we have to return the gift. The melon your father sent you yesterday looked good to me.



"That's a specialty from Okayama Hundred Households. Yiyi probably hasn't eaten it before. Give her a basket. What do you think?"

Liu Xiaoman nodded: "That's right. We can't be the only ones eating my siblings' food. Mother, just watch and give it to me. If my brother and sister like it, I'll let my father give it to me."

Mrs. Dong smiled and nodded: "The things Xiao Mansion sent are all good things, and there are quite a lot of gifts. I will give them to your parents later so they can try them too."

Liu Xiaoman suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Thank you, mother."

......

Border Army Camp.

When several carriages loaded with rice dumplings drove into the military camp, the soldiers in the military camp rushed over to watch.

In the military tent, Xiao Yeyang was discussing with Cao Dan, Su Hongxin, and other generals the defense of Gan Xuan Army Town.

After nearly three months of construction, Ganzhou Wei’s first military town has been initially completed.

Ganxuan Town has implemented militarized management, and now Xiao Yeyang is working with the generals to implement various rules and regulations.

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Xiao Yeyang glanced at Defu.

Defu walked out of the tent quickly, and after a while, Defu came in with Defu.

"This slave greets his master and has met all the generals."

Xiao Yeyang asked De Shou to wake up and asked: "Why are you here?"

De Shou said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Madam asked me to send Dragon Boat Festival gifts to all the generals and soldiers."

Hearing this, the generals in the military tent looked surprised, and then their faces showed joy.

They have been stationed at Ganzhou Guard for at least five or six years. In previous years, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the military camp would eat meaty meals, and no official had ever given a festival gift to the military camp.<

/p>

A smile appeared in Xiao Yeyang's eyes: "Bring the gift in."

Soon, several boys came in carrying bamboo baskets.

De Shou smiled and said: "These are for the generals. They are all made by the government themselves. The few carts of rice dumplings outside the tent are for the other soldiers."

There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the military camp, and the servants of the Xiao Mansion alone could not make so many rice dumplings, so they had to buy them from outside.

Rice is rarely eaten here in Xiliang, and even less glutinous rice is eaten. Therefore, the price of rice dumplings here is not low, and it is also a rare food for soldiers in the military camp.

De Shou continued: "Madam, I told you that we will let all the soldiers eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow."

Cao Dan felt a little moved and stood up and saluted Xiao Yeyang: "Thank you, sir and madam, for thinking of us soldiers."

When other generals saw it, they also stood up and thanked them.

Xiao Yeyang stood up and helped Cao Dan up: "What are you doing? Without you guarding the border, there would be no stability in Daxia. You are the heroes of Daxia. It is right for my wife to send some food to express my gratitude."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Su Hongxin quickly stood up to smooth things over and took a bamboo basket with a smile: "Everyone, look at what delicious food Mrs. Xiao has given us?"

Unlike the guards officers, the border army generals had an extra piece of braised mutton in their bamboo baskets. Daohua knew that the soldiers had a large appetite and made the rice dumplings extra large.

After receiving Xiao Yeyang's signal, Defu and Deshou quickly distributed the bamboo baskets to each general.

People in the army don't have so many rules. After everyone got the bamboo basket, they opened the lid one after another, laughed and started talking.

Cao Dan saw the mess among his men and looked at Xiao Yeyang with a wry smile.

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, indicating that it was okay, and took the lead in picking up a rice dumpling and eating it: "Everyone, let's have a try."

Immediately, there was an argument in the military tent.

“This wine is really good!”

"What's so good about wine? This braised pork is so delicious."

"I think zongzi is the most delicious."

"I prefer eating salted duck eggs."

"The food is gone in a moment. I think the sachet is the best. I will give it to my wife and daughter when I go home next time. They will wear it when they go out."

"Oh, don't argue, I like them all."

......

Xiao Yeyang returned to Xiao Mansion from the military camp after dark.

Knowing that he was coming back tonight, Daohua and Gu Jian were waiting for him to have dinner together.

In the dining room, Daohua was setting the meal. When she saw Xiao Yeyang walking in, she smiled and greeted her. As soon as she got closer, she was hugged by Xiao Yeyang and then kissed hard.

"What are you doing?!"

Daohua quickly opened Xiao Yeyang's eyes and saw that the maids had turned their heads away, feeling a little uncomfortable. She glared at Xiao Yeyang fiercely and said in a low voice: "Master will be here soon, let him see you."

It’s so ungrateful, watch your skin carefully.”

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua blushing, and the smile on his face became deeper.

Daohua glanced sideways at him and looked at the maid at the door: "Go and invite the old man over for dinner."

Soon, Gu Jian arrived.

Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang: "Are you happy today?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "My uncle is really sharp-eyed." As he said that, he looked at Daohua and said, "There are a few thorns in the army. I was worried about how to conquer them. I never thought that you would send a few carts of rice dumplings today.

Let them return to their hearts."

Hearing this, Daohua suddenly smiled and rolled her eyes: "Really? The generals of the army are really honest. It seems that I will have to prepare gifts for them during the holidays in the future."
