Chapter 161 Auntie is generous
The next day, the eldest son of the He family brought his family back to the village. He was shocked to see so many people in the yard and thought something had happened.
Then she shouted loudly: "Dad and Mom, little sister, we are back."
Hearing the sound, Mrs. He, who was making clothes with Madam Xi and others in the house, smiled and said, "It's my eldest son who has come back. He must have not been home for a long time, and I'm worried that something happened at home."
Madam Xi smiled and said, "That's great, he's a filial child. Sister He is so lucky to have taught her children so well. She will have endless blessings in the future."
Then he walked out and responded, "No, no, I'm not that good. I'm just a fool."
"Here she comes. The eldest brother's wife is back too. You've been busy in the store lately."
"Xiaolang and grandma's eldest grandson are back too. That's great. He looks much more energetic. Come in first."
He Liang and He Min looked at Grandma, who hurried over with her schoolbag on her back. They bowed first, then hugged Grandma He and said, "I miss Grandma, Grandpa, and my aunt even more!"
"Grandma, where is my aunt?"
Seeing her grandson being so polite, Mrs. He was very satisfied. She smiled and joked, "You miss grandma by chance, but you miss your aunt seriously. Look, you only said one sentence and then asked about your aunt. You are really biased."
He Liang was surprised. He didn't expect grandma to be jealous. He hugged her a few more times and raised his head and said seriously, "No, no, Liang'er has been thinking about grandma in school, wondering if you are tired at home."
"Have you eaten on time? Does your lower back hurt? Liang'er originally wanted to ask grandma to massage her when she got home, but when she returned to the store, grandma had already taken her little aunt back to the village." She still felt a little sad after saying this.
He Min, who is younger, also said in a baby voice: "Yes, I was waiting for Min'er. It made me so sad that I didn't sleep well at night."
"Finally, the school is closed, so we asked our parents to bring us back. Grandma, is your waist still sore? Min'er will give you a massage."
Mrs. He was so soft-hearted that she tapped their little heads and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, now your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, and you can even coax milk."
Several people were talking in the hall. Madam Xi was sitting on the bed in the inner room listening and whispered, "The He family is really good at educating children. From the sound of them telling stories, I know that they are very smart and will definitely make a name for themselves."
Nanny Fang smiled and nodded beside her, and responded in a low voice: "I heard that all the children in the family are studying in the academy. The He family is also very courageous."
The two of them looked up at the dilapidated house and had a better impression of the He family.
Xia Yining was lying on the side sleeping, with Chi Yan and Xiao Zi lying beside him. Dabai and Xiaobai were lying on the edge of the bed. They looked like they were sleeping, but they were actually chatting in their hearts.
Hearing the conversation between the two, she curled the corners of her lips. It was a good thing to have a good impression of the family. If her little brother wanted to pursue a career in politics in the future, it would always be good to have more people to help him.
Mrs. He was very happy to be coaxed, so she led a few people to the door of the room and said with a smile: "This is Madam Xi, who knows your aunt and is also your elder."
The He couple looked at the beautiful woman in the room, who was smiling at them. They lowered their heads quickly after just one glance. Even He Xinglang, a teenage boy, quickly avoided her gaze.
Several people said respectfully, "Greetings, Madam Xi. Hello, Madam Xi."
He Liang and He Min were stunned, their bodies instinctively saluted, their eyes staring at her blankly, but their eyes were full of amazement, very pure.
Therefore, Madam Xi was not disgusted, she smiled more kindly, waved at the two boys and said, "Come here, auntie."
He Liang and He Min glanced at the grandmother, and after Mrs. He nodded, the two of them walked over obediently and performed a standard student etiquette.
Coupled with the two's fair and tender little faces, Madam Xi was so cute that she smiled and said, "Your little aunt calls me aunt, so you can follow suit, okay?"
He Liang nodded shyly and whispered, "Hello, auntie. Hello, auntie."
He Min followed his brother's words, which caused Madam Xi to exclaim again, saying that it was extremely adorable, much cuter than Ranzhi when he was a child.
The maidservant beside her had already come in with something in her hands. Madam Xi pointed at three sets of writing brushes, inkstones, and said, "Look how much you three uncles and nephews like them. I prepared them specially when I came here."
Because He Xinglang was old, he had been standing outside the inner room. Looking at the inkstone and the ink stick, he knew that they were not cheap, so he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your consideration, auntie, but this gift is too expensive, I cannot accept it."
Nanny Fang, who had been silent, looked up and nodded with satisfaction. She felt that the student in front of her was a very gentlemanly person, and just as the young lady had said, he would definitely make a name for himself in the future.
Madam Xi pinched He Liang and He Min's little faces and said contentedly, "A gift from an elder cannot be declined. I heard that Xiao Lang studies very hard and has a lot of knowledge."
“A good horse deserves a good saddle. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are just ordinary things. They are valuable only when they can play the greatest role.”
He Xuanlang didn't expect the other party to say this. His face turned red and he said, "Thank you for the gift, Auntie. I will definitely treasure it."
"Thank you, auntie. Liang'er and Min'er will also cherish it."
Madam Xi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the He couple. The little maid brought over two boxes, and the couple looked at Madam He awkwardly, not knowing whether they should accept them or not.
Seeing Madam Xi's sincere gift, Mrs. He felt helpless. She thought that no matter how many delicious dishes she made, she could not repay this favor. So she said, "Go ahead. Be filial to your Aunt Xi in the future."
This sentence is a bit inappropriate, but the He family is too poor, and it would be nonsense to say that they will return any gifts in the future. It would be better to be more filial.
Hearing this, Madam Xi was delighted and laughed secretly, covering her mouth: "Did you hear what your mother said? You must give gifts to your aunt on every festival in the future. Don't forget."
He Lao Da smiled innocently and answered loudly: "Thank you, auntie. Don't worry, I will definitely send you a gift whenever there is a festival."
Mrs. Xu was a little shy, and nodded, saying softly, "Hello, auntie."
After reaching out to take the box, he did not open it, but just held it in both hands.
Madam Xi nodded secretly and said, "Open it and see if you like it. I was very nervous when I came here, so I picked two things from my dowry. They are all good things, but..."
Hearing that it was her dowry, Xu became even more conflicted and said quickly, "This is your dowry, we can't take it." As she said that, she was about to return the box to the maid beside her.
As a woman, she knows best that dowry is very important for a married woman. It allows her to be free from restrictions from her husband's family and ensures she has a worry-free life.
She whispered, "Aunt, keep your dowry well and don't give it away."
