Chapter 894 Receiving gifts

  When the eldest aunt heard that Erya was back, she immediately grabbed two chickens and came over. It is a custom here that relatives such as uncles and aunts will catch a chicken and send it to make up for the body when the child is born. But in the past, the conditions were not good, and everyone gave eggs, but now most of the families are well-off and can afford chickens

  Give the chicken to Tian Dalin, and the aunt goes into the house to see Erya and the child. Looking at the child, she smiled and said to the second daughter: "You are a lucky one, a son and a daughter together are good."

   Erya also felt lucky. Last month, the textile factory office forwarded the documents above and below. Starting next month, those who have children are not allowed to reproduce. I didn't investigate who was pregnant before, but if I got pregnant this month and gave birth, the factory will be fired the moment the baby is born. No matter how much you want to have children, you can only give up compared with work.

  Li Guihua was quite critical, she said: "Erya is lucky, she gave birth to two, but in the future, Daya and Liuya will only have one child. One child in this family is too few."

  Tian Shao and Liu Ya both have jobs, so they must follow the regulations of the country. As for Sanya's future, it's still uncertain, it depends on who they marry in the future.

  The eldest aunt nodded and said, "One child is really too few in a family. Sankui will have at least two children after he gets married. Anyway, he doesn't eat at the public house, so he is not afraid of being fired."

  In the concept of the older generation, they still feel that having many children and grandchildren is a blessing.

  Speaking of this, Li Guihua asked with concern: "I heard from Da Kui's wife that someone introduced Er Kui to an elementary school teacher. Is it true?"

The aunt nodded and said, "It's true. The two of you met a few times and thought it was good. It's just that the other party has a job, and Er Kui has two children. According to the current policy, she can't have children. How can she not want this woman?" own child."

  So this matter should be dead.

  Li Guihua nodded and said: "Since this is the case, let them stop contacting, so as not to delay others. It is better to find someone who is unemployed or from the countryside, as long as you are diligent and generous."

  The eldest aunt waved her hand and said, "I don't care about this matter with your elder brother, let him make up his own mind. As long as he gets the money back every month to raise the child, he can find whatever he wants."

  She is planning to bring up the two children by herself, and even after Li Erkui gets married, she will watch over them, so that many conflicts can be avoided.

   While talking, I heard Ma Xiaomei's voice: "Brother, sister-in-law..."

  Li Guihua walked out after hearing the words. As soon as she went out, she saw Ma Xiaomei standing at the door, holding a basket in her left hand and an old hen in her right hand.

  Ma Xiaomei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Erya was pregnant, so I caught a chicken and brought some eggs over here."

   After speaking, he stepped forward and handed her everything.

   When Tian Qiang's wife gave birth, Li Guihua also sent twenty eggs. So this time she was not polite and reached out to pick up the basket and the chicken.

   When he came out of the house, he saw Dali's wife also coming with a chicken. Tian Erlin and Xu Zhaodi knew that they were not welcome to see each other, and now they would let the eldest daughter-in-law come forward for any human relations.

  Afterwards, the second uncle also sent a chicken, and then there were children from the same village who went to work in the garment factory to send things. If the days are ample or generous, grab a chicken or duck and send them, and if the days are tight, send 20 or 30 eggs.

  In the evening, when Li Guihua was making milk powder for her child, she said to Erya, "Today we collected a total of 16 chickens and 560 eggs. Someone will bring something tomorrow."

   Erya was very surprised: "How come there are so many chickens, who sent them?"

  Li Guihua casually mentioned five families, and then said: "Except for your uncle's family, the rest of the chickens were sent because the family members got jobs. You, it's all thanks to your eldest sister."

   Erya also admitted that her good life today is due to her eldest sister: "Mother, is it bad for us to collect so many things? Or, return everything except your relatives!"

  She was afraid that Tian Shao would scold her if she found out.

  Li Guihua gave her a white look, and said: "This is the whole heart of the family, why refund it? They will send it back when they have children in the future."

  But Li Guihua doesn't accept all chickens and eggs from everyone. For example, those whose families did not go to work in Yangcheng and did not have any relatives, they were determined not to accept them. As for the others, there is no psychological burden to accept it. This chicken and 20 or 30 eggs cost only a few dollars, which is incomparable with the money they send back every month.

  Erya didn't object after hearing the words, but felt that it was time to write down the person who gave the gift, after all, so many people tend to forget.

Li Guihua scolded with a smile: "I told your father to remember it! You, don't worry about it. Also, there are so many eggs that can't be eaten for a while and are easy to break. I will ask Suo Zhu to sell them tomorrow. The chickens will not If you sell it, I will kill it for you to eat every other day."

   Erya has no comment.

  In the evening, Tian Dalin and Li Guihua said, "Don't do the child's three baptisms and the full moon banquet."

   "Why don't you do it again?"

Tian Dalin said: "Think about it, do we need to accept a gift when we hold the third party and the full moon banquet? If we accept the gift, will they say that we take the opportunity to make money. If we don't receive much money, why bother with such a bad reputation? .”

  Li Guihua immediately said: "Then invite relatives and friends to have a meal at home, and don't accept gifts or things."

Tian Dalin looked at her in surprise, nodded in agreement, and said, "Don't do it, it's not fashionable here. Besides, Da Ya and Xiao Yue are coming back soon, and the county has to be cleaned up!" "

   "Okay, then we will have a full moon banquet instead of three rites."

   On the second day, Aunt Li also caught two chickens and brought over 60 eggs, and returned 20 yuan. Li Guihua accepted the chicken and eggs, but she didn't want the money.

  Aunt Li sat down and said beamingly that the family plans to build a house in October.

Aunt Li said: "There are so many people in the family who can't live anymore, but they used to have no money and had to squeeze. In the past six months, Mugen and Grassroots have sent money back every month, so your brother-in-law wants to build six green houses like elder brother and the others. Brick house."

Li Guihua wiped the water from her hands on her bib, and asked, "The six green brick and large tile houses in the elder brother's house belong to Dakui. If you don't have a separate family, it means that all three sons will share. When the house is built, what should we do?" To live in a new house, who should live in an old house?"

  Aunt Li didn't think about it at all.

As someone who has experienced it, Li Guihua persuaded: "We still need to consult the grassroots for their opinions on building a house, and then decide to build a house like this. Otherwise, once you build this house, no matter who you let live in the new house, the people who stay will be in the heart." There will be complaints."

  Mainly, the money for building the house was mainly earned by Mugen and Grassroots. Fortunately, Mu Gen is married and has children, but Cao Gen has not married a wife yet. If he spends all his money in the public office, he will definitely have a problem if he can't afford the money when he gets married. So, it's better to discuss it.

  Aunt Li felt that this made sense, so she nodded in agreement.

   It’s the last two days, monthly ticket collection, monthly ticket collection
