Chapter 228 They Are Not Prepared
"If you ask me, these people in the village are just too self-righteous."
"Sir, you are the son of a wealthy family. How can you be interested in these girls from the village?"
Mu Baobao didn't quite understand why this happened. "Now, no one is targeting me anymore?"
Zhang Juhua said, "No more."
“Even those who want to force their children to study don’t dare to have such an idea anymore.”
Mu Baobao just said "oh", this is good.
She knew that the uncle didn't like these things, but he was just too impatient to deal with them.
Baby Mu stayed at home to recuperate and could not go anywhere except walking around the house.
Fortunately, she was a child who could stay in the house, practicing writing, or looking at pictures of herbs, etc.
The days passed like this.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day before Chinese New Year.
New Year's Eve.
The heavy snow outside almost submerged the entire village, and the entire mountain was covered with snow.
Every household in the village stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire, and no one wanted to come out.
The same is true for the Mu family.
main room.
The whole family sat around the fire. There were a few roasted sweet potatoes in the brazier, which they could take out and eat when they were cooked.
After this period of recuperation, Mu Baobao has gained some weight and his face has become rounder.
She took half a sweet potato and sat next to Zhu, eating it slowly.
"The snow is getting heavier. Let's not do business." Old Man Mu took a sip of water from the bowl and resisted the urge to smoke his pipe.
"We've made enough money this year, so we won't do business during the New Year."
I had originally planned to do business during the New Year, but the snow was so heavy that it was difficult to even go out, let alone do business.
Even though the family members were reluctant to give up the business, they knew there was nothing they could do about it, so they did not force it.
"We can only wait until the weather gets better before going to town to do business."
"What a shame for such a good business... Never mind, what's important is that the family is well."
Mu Baobao took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "We can do business with the villagers."
"With such heavy snow, some people in the village must need to buy food and drinks."
Last year, her family bought a lot of things in the village, most of which were food.
When she said this, the eyes of Mu Laodi and others lit up.
"Baby, that's a good idea. A few days ago, someone in the village wanted to buy vegetables and meat. We have a lot of vegetables and meat at home, so we can sell some."
"We also have barbecue and other things that can be sold. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, and many people in the village will spend money on some good things."
Mu Laodi finally couldn't help himself and went to the corner to smoke his pipe. "Here, Boss, go out and ask if anyone wants to buy barbecue. We'll grill it and deliver it to them."
Boss Mu responded and went out to take care of the matter.
As soon as he left the house, Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng arrived.
The two men took off their cloaks, shook off the snow at the door, and then went into the house.
"The snow outside is getting heavier." Doctor Deng exhaled a breath of cold air and shivered twice. "It looks like we won't be able to go anywhere tomorrow."
He knew that the villagers had the custom of visiting relatives or drinking at friends' homes during the New Year.
Unlike wealthy families, they have different arrangements during the New Year holidays, and even decide in advance which days not to go out.
Zhu and his companions poured water for Cheng Zishi and Doctor Deng, and brought stools and other things.
"Even if it snows heavily tomorrow, the villagers will still visit their relatives." Old Man Mu put out his pipe and coughed twice. "For the villagers, visiting relatives during festivals is a good way to eat something good."
"Plus, this is the only time of year when we can connect with each other, so unless there's something important, we'll go."
Villagers rarely see greasy and meaty food throughout the year, but on auspicious occasions like the New Year, even the poorest families will have some meat.
Doctor Deng was surprised for a moment, then he understood, "Are you and your family going to visit relatives?"
Wang and Qian were the first to say they would not visit relatives.
One is that she doesn't want to deal with the messy people in her mother's family, and the other is that she doesn't want to go back to her mother's family.
As for Liu, she would only go back to her parents' home on the second or third day of the Chinese New Year, and she would just stay there for a while.
"I guess we won't be visiting relatives this year," said Father Mu with a smile. "The snow is too heavy this year, and my family has a business, so it's not very convenient to visit relatives."
The main reason is that I don’t want to be asked for money by relatives when visiting them.
In previous years, when visiting relatives, each relative always liked to compare the year's harvest, the money in the family, etc.
If someone's family is doing well, relatives always try to take advantage of them.
Doctor Deng didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and said, "If you don't visit relatives, we can have hotpot tomorrow night."
"I asked someone to buy a lot of good wine and food from the town. Just boil it when the time comes."
A pot is only lively when many people eat from it.
Father Mu was very embarrassed. "Doctor Deng, how can this be so embarrassing? We should be the ones treating you and Mr. Cheng."
Doctor Deng didn't care about that. "It doesn't matter who invites me."
"Then it's settled. We'll have hotpot tomorrow night."
The greedy wooden baby asked, "Master, why don't we eat hotpot today, New Year's Eve?"
She likes to eat from the pot, and the dishes in the pot are delicious.
Doctor Deng pinched her face and asked, "Isn't there a New Year's Eve dinner?"
"All that good food can't go to waste, so we'll have the pot tomorrow night."
Although Mu Baobao felt a little regretful, he didn't insist on eating hotpot tonight.
She knew that grandma and the others had prepared a lot of delicious dishes and meat to eat on New Year's Eve.
"Master, I have prepared gifts for you and uncle, please wait."
She hurried back to her room.
Doctor Deng and then Cheng Zishi looked at each other and saw each other's surprise. The baby prepared a gift for him?
Then they are really looking forward to it.
"When did the baby prepare the gift?" Cheng Zishi was a little curious. "Hasn't she been recuperating from her injuries recently?"
Doctor Deng shrugged. "If you don't know, how would I know?"
Cheng Zishi looked at the Mu family and asked, "When did the baby prepare gifts for us?"
Zhu smiled and said, "I prepared it secretly while she was recovering from her injuries."
"We are not sure what the gift is."
They never care about their children in this regard.
Mu Pingping and the other children looked at each other in bewilderment. What should they do? They hadn't prepared any gifts for their husband.
"How about we prepare now?" Mu Niuniu said softly, "It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared."
Mu Pingping rubbed his brows and said, "The question is, what should we prepare?"
"It's snowing heavily outside, and there's nothing good at home. What can we prepare?"
It's their fault.
Even the little baby knew to prepare gifts for Mr. and Dr. Deng, but so many people didn’t know how to prepare gifts.
