Chapter 240 Digging a Hole for Grandma(1/2)
A few days later, today is Ye Shiqi's two -year -old birthday. She has received a blessing from her sisters in bed.
When I ate breakfast, I also ate red eggs.
Girls in the farmhouse will not do big birthdays. Simple red eggs and longevity noodles are still eaten. This must also have to remember her birthday.
When Li's daughter got up in the morning, she gave a red envelope, and went to the ancestors to go to the incense, and put on snacks and fruits.
Hongji made a red envelope as a father. After having breakfast, he had to send a red envelope to his daughter before going to work.
Ye Shiqi was still on the pink outsiders that Yahuan deliberately wore her. It was a pink skirt with cotton fabrics. The simple style made of skirts was comfortable to wear in summer.
The shoes are not sewn at home. They are embroidered cotton shoes bought outside the shops. People in their farmers' homes can make shoes. This cannot make this exquisite embroidery shoes. There are specialized attacks. Of course, it is the shoes made of embroidery.
Her small face was decorated with too many bustling, but she simply tied black hair with embroidery belt. Her hair was constantly dark. It was long and long.
This long hair is often rolled into a small ball, and it is fixed with hair bands and buns. It is simple and not hot.
Ye Shiqi is not without the decorations of hair. She doesn't want to be so load. She hides all the items she received in the space.
What she received was not only sent by her parents, but also Tang Yanyan's customized gifts for her in the past two years. These items looked very valuable and were not convenient to wear on the head of her child.
One of the reasons for this is that it is inconvenient to publicize, and the other reason is that even if there are good items, they cannot be seen by grandma or relatives, who will definitely miss them.
At the Ye family's breakfast table, what makes Ye Shiqi's breakfast special compared to other people's is that she has a bowl of noodles with eggs on top.
Not to say that their family can't afford noodles and can't afford eggs. Today's egg noodles are specially made for Ye Shiqi.
Ye Shiqi is also used to a cup of goat milk every day, as is her sisters. This cup of goat milk was sent by the morning manor, and heated and remove the fishy smell.
Previously, parents could drink goat milk for their sisters. They had a few sheep especially to supply their sisters to drink goat milk.
Acer's father took a few puffs of bamboo cigarettes, then ate steamed buns and porridge at the dinner table without saying a word.
There are several types of breakfast on their dining table for them to choose from. This is the breakfast that workers know the owner's preference. When the owner's house is full, the rest is their breakfast.
"It's true for you, you're making a big show of making longevity noodles and boiled eggs for a girl. Don't you know that girls need to be raised cheaply?"
Every time Lai and I eat or have breakfast, they will make some remarks that people don't like to hear.
Hongji looked up at the mother, touched his brow, and pressed his eyebrows with one hand. He was a little irritable. Every time the mother made a speech, if he refuted, it would cause his mother to say his filial piety.
But he was unwilling to speak some bad words, so that his wife and daughter felt that he was too useless. If there was no response at all, the mother would have to go in.
"Mother is right. The girl should be a cheap raising, so I did not make a birthday for my daughter like a wealthy family.
After Acer said this, he smiled and said to Ye Shiqi: "Why don't you thank your grandmother? Your grandmother hasn't given you a red envelope yet!"
"puff……"
I don’t know who laughed out loud first, and then everyone lowered their heads to eat breakfast to prevent Lai from noticing.
"My father is right. My granddaughter will thank her grandmother for the big red envelope."
Ye Shiqi smiled, as she put down the bowl in her hand and opened her hand to ask her grandmother to hand out a red envelope.
Lai's nagging has become a habit. I don't know if she doesn't like the daughters born to her son, or she has objections to these girls. There is always something she doesn't like every day, and she will nag her at the dinner table or when they meet.
.
My son and daughter-in-law gave their daughter a bowl of egg noodles. It was just something ordinary people prepare for children. Logically speaking, she shouldn't say anything.
One of the reasons Lai couldn't help but say was that her son paid so much attention to his daughters, especially the youngest girl, that she felt jealous as a mother.
It makes it impossible for her to act like a kind grandma. They do everything they do to find fault. In the final analysis, they are just jealous.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said it, her son and daughter-in-law made no other move, and her granddaughters had no other reaction. Her son rebelled against her and asked her to give out red envelopes. Wouldn't it cost her her life?
Lai didn't expect that his words would not embarrass others, but would also put him in trouble.
She closed her pocket tightly, opened her mouth and paused for a long time, and then came out with a reason: "Grandma has used up the red envelope. I will give you a red envelope during the Chinese New Year!"
Ye Shiqi smiled and said: "Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't mind not having a red envelope, as long as she has a purse bag. If grandma doesn't have one, I can ask you to embroider a purse bag on the spot. Grandma, you can't give out the red envelope, right?"
"Hee, hee hee."
Ye Shiqi's words made some of her sisters finally couldn't help lowering their heads and burst into laughter.
Those who didn't laugh out loud lowered their heads bit by bit, as if twitching. They could hold back their voices, but they couldn't help their body movements.
"Why are you laughing?" Lai's answer was no when asked, and she was no if she didn't answer. She could only take it out on her other granddaughters.
"You don't have to worry about breakfast. As an elder, give me a red envelope. What's wrong?" When Acer's father said about his wife, he glared at his son, and then glared at Mr. Li.
He felt that while his son was digging a hole for his wife, he was also actually looking down on him.
"Aren't I not ready yet? I said I don't have any red envelopes."
Mrs. Lai was scolded by her husband and said something in a low voice, but she didn't dare to say that she wouldn't give the red envelope. She felt that money might flow out of her hands. She felt so distressed!
When she thought this way, she glared at Mrs. Li again. The meaning of this look was that she blamed her for giving birth to so many girls, otherwise there would be no red envelopes given out today.
Mrs. Li was inexplicably given another look. She lowered her head and endured it helplessly, concentrating on feeding her son complementary food.
Ye Shiqi just laughed and said that she did not expect this grandma to give her a red envelope generously. From the time she was born to the age of two, she had never received a red envelope from her grandma, whether it was New Year or birthday.
If it were another child, she would just not know this when she was born. She is a time-traveled soul. From birth to now, everything big and small is remembered in her mind.
Grandma did not receive a red envelope, but her grandfather still received a red envelope, which was only once a year ago. On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, the five sisters all received red envelopes from their grandfather.
The sisters curiously counted and found that the red envelopes received by everyone were the same, five copper coins.
It cannot be said that my grandfather is very stingy. It is already good for other children to have two copper coins in their red envelopes.
When the debate ended during breakfast, Ye Shiqi did not dwell on the issue. Her family members stopped nagging when they saw Lai, and even if she did not give her a red envelope, they would not grab her whip.
After finishing breakfast, Acer drank a cup of tea and gave his daughter a small purse. It contained not copper plates, but gold particles.
For a little girl who is only two years old, her family will only be rich and will not give gold. But this little girl in his family is different. She will not spend money randomly and at the same time, she will also give ideas to the family to make them rich.
Acer dotes on this daughter the most. The little cotton-padded jacket is already two years old and has a son by his side. He does not show any less fatherly love to the little cotton-padded jacket.
There is a reason for this, that is, he has the experience of being both a father and a mother, which he does not have with other daughters, and he pays more attention to this daughter and has more affection for her.
"Thank you, dad, hee hee." Ye Shiqi looked happy after receiving the red envelope.
Li smiled motherly. When she saw her sister, her mother smiled, and the boy in her arms also smiled.
There is no jealousy in the eyes of the other four sisters. Their father is the best to the youngest sister. They also know that the little sister has dedicated a lot. As sisters, they love and protect her sister. At the same time, they know too much about this little sister's abilities.
.
Their father also gives them red envelopes on their birthdays. It can only be said that the family has become richer in the past two years and his father has more money, so he gives them red envelopes.
Mrs. Lai witnessed her son giving a red envelope to her little granddaughter. She tightly closed her pocket and stared at the red envelope in her little granddaughter's hand.
The shape of the red envelope doesn't look like a copper plate! But she didn't dare to speak again. After the experience in the morning, she was afraid that if she spoke, she would make comments that would ruin her fortune.
He lowered his head and pretended to be busy, and left the living room.
When Lai left the living room, she didn't see that her husband also gave her granddaughter a red envelope, and the money was the old man's private money.
"Grow up quickly."
Acer's father gave this purse bag. It was not embroidered by his old wife for him, but specially embroidered by his maid.
The young maid is not very good at embroidery, but she can barely give it away.
"Thank you Grandpa!"
Ye Shiqi smiled and accepted the red envelope. He heard that his sisters never received red envelopes from their grandfather on their birthdays.
This was also the first time she received it. Her grandfather had become more generous, which meant that he had more private money.
Everyone in the family knew how tightly Lai held the money. Once it was in her pocket, they couldn't take it out.
Today is Ye Shiqi's birthday, so she can't forget to study. Today is the day when Mr. Mo and his wife come to teach musical instruments.
When Mr. Mo and his wife arrived, they were escorted by the usual guards and Butler Tang.
When Butler Tang appeared, he did not come on his own behalf. He was holding a box in his hand.
With the appearance of this group of people, Ye Jiang and his father arrived at the factory at the entrance of the village, except for Acer who went to work in the factory.
Mrs. Li was at home with her baby, her five sisters were at home, the workers were all at home, and Mrs. Lai was watching when the guests arrived.
Lai's eyes were very sharp. She glanced at everyone who came in. Her eyes were already fixed on the box in the hands of young housekeeper Tang.
"Butler Tang, is the box in your hand given to our family? I'll help you put it away."
Butler Tang shook his head, dodged Lai who wanted to grab the box, and said:
"Madam, this thing does not belong to me, nor is it for you. It is a gift from my young master to Miss Ye."
"Given it to my granddaughter? Let me keep it for her! She is young and ignorant, and she dropped the thing. If it disappears, she will lose Young Master Tang's favor."
After Lai gave this reason, he went to grab it again. At this time, everyone was watching their conversation, and everyone knew what Lai said. This so-called safekeeping meant that he wanted something.
Whether it is Mr. Mo and his wife who have been teaching here for a month or two, or the workers of the Ye family, they already have a complete understanding of this family and the character of Mr. Lai. In the past, he had two daughters to help with such things.
At this moment, she was fighting alone, which did not affect her desire to rob other people's things. In the name of her grandmother, she confiscated her granddaughter's gift for such a reason. Butler Tang heard such words not once or twice, but in the end she still
Lai's wishes were not fulfilled.
"Auntie, it's inappropriate for you to do this. We won't be able to pay the debt when we go back. The items must be delivered to the owner. It's rude!"
