Chapter 395 Busy in Giving and Receiving Gifts

For the Christmas Eve dinner, Luo Meiping probably didn't eat it well, and everyone else ate it to their stomachs and were satisfied.

"Old Feng, your skills are getting better and better. You are worthy of being the heir of the family of royal chefs. You can cook well. I can't do without you more and more. What should I do? Why don't you beg for a wife? Let's stay at our house, and Xiao Li is the same, so the house is so lively, and we two old men who have no companions can still make a partner as a companion, what do you think?"

The old man had enough to eat and drink, and began to try to persuade Chef Feng to stay.

After this year, Chef Feng has really spoiled his stomach. Where else can he find such an affordable and capable descendant of the royal chef?

Chef Feng, his son, and Xiao Li were eating at the six-person table in the kitchen, and they were almost done eating at the moment, and they came out to chat with the old man, and said with a smile: "I'm not leaving! My son is begging for a wife, and I'm here with you Do it here! I used to worry about my son's young age, so I didn't worry about him being alone outside. When he asks for a wife, won't his wife take care of it? It's my turn to dictate. If you don't like me, I I will grow old here with you..."

"Okay, okay!" The old man replied three "yes" in a row, and rewarded Lao Feng with a heavy red envelope in public, which was regarded as the hard work of tonight.

After drinking and eating, the next step is to exchange gifts.

"Girl, what presents have you prepared for grandpa this year?" The old man grabbed He Wei who had come back from feeding the Linglong dog, and lifted his chin towards the pile of presents under the Christmas tree.

He Wei said with a smile: "Grandpa will know when he disassembles it?"

"Then hurry up and bring it here, Xiao Bei, go to the study and get the letter opener."

"Hey!" He Songbei responded and went to get the knife.

Hu Hui took the lead in distributing the Christmas presents she had prepared to everyone. First of all, it was for the old man, a rectangular gift box, which was very beautifully packaged: "Grandpa, this is a little thought I prepared. I wish you a merry Christmas and good health!"

"Oh, good!" The old man nodded with a light smile, accepted the gift from her hands, and then placed it on the coffee table.

He couldn't say whether he liked or disliked this granddaughter-in-law.But the second daughter-in-law was right. The situation at that time was not beyond the point of no return.Obviously able to call an ambulance, obviously able to send Yaonan to the hospital for treatment, instead of using himself as an antidote, making Yaonan lose the right to choose, and trapping the He family in a passive position.It's a bad feeling to be used and calculated.

What does Mr. He hate the most in his life, who was born with mud legs and was rewarded with medals for his military exploits?That is to say, to bend and bend.Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you don't understand it. How could he fail to see Hu Hui's calculations in this matter after so many years of struggling?Don't you just want to enter He's house by losing your body?

There is nothing wrong with liking Yaonan from his family, and she took the initiative to pursue her. The fault lies in her impure thoughts. She didn't say anything clearly in advance, and she only opened her mouth when she was sure of her calculations.This time, he was sure that Yaonan would not renege on his debts, and he was sure that the He family had to suppress this scandal for the sake of face.

So although he admitted this granddaughter-in-law, he kept her cold, hoping that she could correct her mentality, and don't think that if she succeeds in one calculation, she will succeed in the second one.The He family can tolerate her this time, but they will never tolerate her a second time.

Hu Hui was shocked by Fang Wanru's words before dinner, but was healed by He Yaonan's care and thoughtfulness, and her mood became brighter. She chatted and laughed with everyone, and ate a lot of things that she had never even seen in her previous life. Although she has come into contact with delicious food very few times, those unpleasant things are gradually left behind by her.

She persuaded herself to relax again and again, thinking that this would be good. Compared with her previous life, this kind of life is already the difference between cloud and mud.People can't be too greedy, greedy enough, think about the defeated Luo Xiaoxiao, and think about yourself in the previous life, you should really be satisfied.

But seeing that the old man has such a different attitude towards her and He Wei, he can't help complaining for himself.She obviously worked very hard, why can't she be nicer to her?What is so good about He Wei that so many people surround her and coax her?It seems that He Wei is the granddaughter-in-law of the He family, but she is not.

Thinking of this, Hu Hui couldn't help but gave He Wei a very resentful look.

It's a pity that He Wei didn't receive it.She is now struggling to pick up the presents she put in under the Christmas tree.

Find out the ones that don't fall, divide them into two piles according to men and women, and then send them to each person one by one.Unlike Hu Hui, who was the first to send off the old man, the others were temporarily forgotten because of her aggrieved mental activities.

He Wei didn't even leave old Feng and his father in the kitchen behind. After the distribution, she ran to the old man with the biggest gift box in her hand, and said with a flushed face, "Grandpa, here it is! Merry Christmas! Open it up and see if you like it?"

"Okay, okay." The old man stroked his beard happily and smiled, took the letter opener from He Songbei, and opened the gift box himself.

"Wow! Sister-in-law, did you make this yourself?" He Songbei took two letter openers from the study, gave one to the old man, and kept the other for himself. Young people, open things bang bang Bang, the speed was so fast that the old man had just cut the seal, and he was already admiring the dark blue clay pen holder.As for the pair of silver engraved aromatherapy balls, He Lingxi snatched them away for fun.

When He Songbei found out, he rushed forward: "Ah, hey! That's mine! Where's yours? Hurry up and tear it down, here! Here's the knife."

"Stingy!"

"How can you be stingy, you obviously have them, and you still rob me to play..."

Hu Hui was beaten up by the twins before she came to her senses.This was unbelievable, the old man was the only one who sent his own gift, but He Wei had finished sending it out, and everyone was opening the gift box she gave her.The secret channel is not good, she stole the limelight by herself, and quickly called He Yaonan to help distribute the gifts, but found that He Yaonan was also playing with the novelty and unique aromatherapy ball, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Hu Hui rubbed her chest to inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale again, and finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart.Xin said that when you see the gifts I gave, you will count them. The gifts from He Wei must have been bought. They are not as good as the scarves I woven by myself.

"Yo? Weiwei, did you weave these gloves and socks yourself? It's so soft, is it made of cashmere?"

Fang Wanru's words made Hu Hui feel bad.

What?Didn't He Wei send clay pen holders and balls?Why are there still gloves and socks knitted with cashmere?
She hurriedly distributed the presents she had prepared to everyone, and then moved to Fang Wanru's side. Seeing Fang Wanru wearing the cashmere gloves, she almost staggered.

It turned out to be true!He Wei also knits something!
Although it is not a scarf, gloves and socks are obviously more difficult than a scarf, not to mention it is still woven with cashmere yarn, which is much more colorful than the mohair scarf I gave.

Hu Hui was full of displeasure.

It so happened that Fang Wanru said a few more words at this time, and she said it to Luo Meiping who was trying on the gloves: "Second sister-in-law, Weiwei, is this gift what you like? Didn't you just say two days ago that you lacked a pair of gloves and wanted to take advantage of it a few years ago?" Do you want to go to the mall to buy goods? You don’t need to go now... These socks are also good. You can wear slippers at home, and you can put on thin socks to keep warm... If I could knit, I would knit ten or eight pairs of them. Unfortunately, I only If you know how to knit a scarf, it's better for Weiwei, you know you can't knit when you give it to us..."

Having said that, Fang Wanru paused.Because she had just opened the gift Hu Hui gave her. It was a jersey scarf knitted in mohair.

But no matter what, it was Yaonan's daughter-in-law's wish. Fang Wanru smiled and praised Hu Hui, and then teased Luo Meiping, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "Second sister-in-law, you are so lucky, you have chosen such a clever daughter-in-law..."

Luo Meiping was so angry.Who just kept praising Hewei's ability over there, saying that being able to knit a scarf is not a skill, but being able to knit gloves and socks is the real ingenuity.Oh, did you change your mind now?When she is deaf!Also, don't think that she won't be able to hear the irony if it sounds so good. Everyone in the family doesn't know that she didn't pick the daughter-in-law here.Didn't saying this hurt her lungs?

Hu Hui only felt that her heart had been cut and slit countless times tonight, almost shattered into scum.Fortunately, her family, Yaonan, managed to save face, so she put on the love scarf she knitted on the spot, and hugged her and said a lot of sweet words.Let her numb heart get a lot of comfort.

I heard the old man teasing He Wei again: "What Christmas gift did that brat Ah Qing give you? Would you like to show grandpa?"

He Wei smiled, but didn't say anything.In fact, there is no way to say that what He Qingdong gave her was a nano-silver storage rack, and she put it away as soon as she received it.The old man wants to see how to break it?Big trick?As a bird, just treat it as embarrassing, and hide without saying a word.

Seeing this, the old man pointed at her, laughed and cursed a few times, and then exposed it.I didn't really want to see it, I just wanted to tease her.

Hu Hui let out a sigh of relief.Finally found someone who was better than He Wei.He Wei's man was not only unable to attend Christmas, maybe he didn't even prepare a gift, otherwise why didn't He Wei say anything?And it's so far away, who knows if there are other women outside... Thinking about it this way, it's better to be with Yaonan, who is not by her side on important days?The gift was also the pure gold pendant she had seen in the morning.Comparing the two, Hu Hui is complete.She thought that the old man was so kind to He Wei, maybe it was compensation.

Hu Hui, who had made up her own mind, looked at He Wei again with a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

He Wei was baffled by her, and said that the gift was given too slowly which made Hu Hui unhappy.

He hurriedly handed over the box in his hand: "Sister Huihui, Merry Christmas!"

What she gave Hu Hui was a set of branded cosmetics.She has collected several sets of this thing in the space, and she is afraid that there will not be enough gifts, so she uses it to deal with it temporarily.

Although Hu Hui was a little dissatisfied with this, because He Wei didn't give her aromatherapy balls, but Yaonan gave her his pair of aromatherapy balls, and the price of these cosmetics is not cheap. She often heard her roommate mention it, but she was never willing to buy it.It's not that Yaonan didn't give her good things, but most of them were jewelry and clothes, cosmetics and the like, maybe he didn't know much about it, he never gave them.So Hu Hui is generally satisfied with the Christmas gift from He Wei.

After He Wei and Hu Hui, He Yaonan and the grandsons of the He family distributed gifts.

He Yaonan gave everyone a travel version of the Swiss Army Knife and manicure set, which is characterized by practicality.

The twins prepared food: two boxes of premium propolis for the old man, natural honey for the two ladies, and tea leaves for the two men.The rest of the people, including Lao Feng, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Li, each had a can of colorful imported assorted chewing gums, and those who couldn't understand the twisted words thought they were chocolates or ordinary candies.

After the juniors finished giving the gifts, it was the elders' turn to send the juniors their hearts.

Forget about her own son, but Luo Meiping and Fang Wanru have the same ambitions, and they can deal with it casually by buying a few boxes of chocolates.

As for He Wei and Hu Hui, after all, they haven't been in the house yet, so they can be called guests, so they can't just settle with a box of chocolates, right?So, the two sisters-in-law gathered for the first time to go shopping.In the end, Fang Wanru picked out the boots, and Luo Meiping picked out the purse.Although the color and style are different, but the price is about the same, lest each other have any ideas, and then spread to the old man's ears.

The two brothers, He Aiguo and He Zhanguo, had no idea about Christmas Eve or Christmas at all. In their view, they just found an excuse to have a dinner together. Who would have thought that all the juniors would give them away, even their own daughter-in-law and son? They all prepared presents, it was embarrassing for the two of them, fathers and uncles, to just accept and not give away, so they sealed a few red envelopes on the spot, and gave each of the juniors one.

Finally it was the old man's turn.A big red envelope was given to He Wei and Hu Hui.The three grandchildren said they would stay until the evening of New Year's Eve.Because He Wei and Hu Huinian definitely won't be able to come on their thirties, they gave their New Year's money first through Christmas.None of the three grandsons had any objections, and if they had opinions, they dared not raise them.

Luo Meiping didn't say anything this time.Because she saw that the red envelopes given by the old man were the same thickness, and the red envelopes given during festivals, especially those given as lucky money, are generally auspicious numbers, and it is impossible to have only one or two pieces of difference, so since the thickness is similar, it should be the same amount.So Luo Meiping felt balanced.

But what she didn't know was that the old man didn't give the same currency at all.What he gave Hu Hui was Hua Guobi, 1 yuan.And the package for He Wei was US dollars, 1 yuan.

In the old man's mind, Hu Hui, the granddaughter-in-law, was no match for He Wei, the granddaughter-in-law.So giving them different amounts of red envelopes didn't make me feel guilty at all.

And Luo Meiping, Hu Hui and the others never thought that the old man would come out like this, seeing that the thickness is almost the same, but the way is the same, so they are all satisfied.Hu Hui, in particular, was dizzy when she received such a large New Year's Eve bag for the first time, and she didn't even mind that He Wei got one more Linglong dog as a Christmas present.Maybe just as Aunt He said, when the old man was looking for that little thing, the matter between her and Yao Nan was still undecided.
