Chapter 208 The Old Couple Opens the Blind Box
This candied haws is very expensive in Furong Town, at least for low-level people like them, they can't afford food and clothing, so how can they have the money to buy such a small snack.

Even if they have copper coins in their hands, they go to buy some stick noodles, or buy some brown rice, and they mostly buy stick noodles.

After all, stick noodles are the cheapest food that can keep you full.

Even if you buy brown rice, you still count the rice grains and put it in the pot.

It's nice to have cornmeal and brown rice.

None of them bought candied haws for their children because they were poor and had no money.

Unexpectedly, they could still receive such a surprise during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing the little flower in front of them with braids and extremely simple clothes, they were also very moved.

The two children, Xiaohua and Xiaoyuan, are well-behaved, but their fate is not good, their parents are dead, and they live with their grandparents.

The grandparents are getting old, and the food harvest is less, and the old couple lives with two poor children.

Fortunately, there is another aunt, the daughter of the old Xu family who married into Lijia Village, who is also very poor.

At a young age, the man died and became a widow, and was given the title of Kefu. A miserable woman raised two children alone.

Whenever they came back, they were often looked at by people. The family's misfortune made some people in the village feel a little superior to themselves, and many people had bad things to say about Xu Yuan and Xu Xiaohua.

The people who received the candied haws are all kind people. They not only give the children two food, but also want to help when others say harsh words. Looking at the things in their hands, you can tell that Xiaoyuan and Xiaohua are two people. How grateful the child is to them.

They were also very grateful to see the old couple and the two children suffering through hardships.

Because the daughter of the old Xu family who married into Lijia Village has developed, they did not expect that coming back this time would bring them such a huge shock.

Everyone watched in disbelief that so many things on the carriage were taken home, and they all pinched their thighs fiercely, thinking that they had read it wrong, but it was indeed true.

Those who looked down on the old Xu's family once thought that this family was unfortunate. The youngest daughter married off, and the man died and took care of the children alone. He was a widow for more than ten years and brought up two children.

Every time she came back, they also looked down on the three of their mothers, but the old couple always hoped that their daughter would come back often.

But she had to take care of her two children and Xiao Yu, and occasionally helped Xiao Lan, which made life difficult for her.

She even had to go to Furong Town to pick up some laundry work, how could she have time to go home?
Years of exhaustion, her body has long been exhausted, if Xiao Lan hadn't secretly recuperated her, her body would have already collapsed.

After Xiao Lan got well, she has been repaying her original kindness, single-handedly promoted Da Lin, loved Er Ni to the bottom of her heart, and gave them some food and things from time to time.

Now she is very relieved, the child is promising, the family has surplus food, and moreover, she has to take good care of her father, mother and sister-in-law.

No, she has been busy helping Xiao Lan look after the child recently, so she has no time to bring the child back.

Now that it's Chinese New Year, it's finally time to go back to her mother's house. As soon as Xiao Lan heard about it, she brought a lot of food and snacks for Aunt Li.

In fact, Xiao Lan prepared most of the things brought by the carriage, and Xiao Lan even asked Dalin to drive the carriage back.

Aunt Li asked Xiao Lan, "Will this be too high-profile? The impact is not good?"

Xiao Lan laughed, "It's too high-profile, okay, it's too high-profile, Dalin can find a wife very easily!"

Dalin, who was tidying up the carriage, blushed from his neck to his ears with a swipe of his face.

Seeing the shy look of their children, Xiao Lan and Aunt Li laughed happily.

Dalin was used to the scene, but in front of his mother and Aunt Xiao, this was just a child, and he didn't dare to raise his head for a moment.

Speaking of, after everyone ate the small snacks that Xiaoyuan gave, and the candied haws that Dalin Erni and Xiaohua gave, everyone chewed the food in their mouths, the taste was simply amazing.

I don't know how there is such a delicious thing?
If it was sold in Furong Town, it would cost a lot of silver, and everyone would rush to buy it for the craftsmanship alone!

The old couple opened another pocket, which contained neatly folded new clothes.

When they took out these clothes one by one and put them on the bed, they counted them, and the daughter actually prepared two sets of clothes for the old couple and the two children, which is a total of eight sets of clothes .

"Your life is not so easy. With two children, why make so many clothes for us?" Aunt Li said.

Aunt Li smiled, "Mother, this was ordered from a tailor shop, not us."

She had already used her own money to order clothes for the old couple in a tailor shop, as well as two children, each of whom ordered two suits, but she never had a chance to come back.

So, taking advantage of her return this time, she brought them everything she wanted to bring.

Each person has two sets of clothes, plus the previous clothes, which can be replaced after washing.

Although the clothes worn by the two children were clean, there were some patches on the clothes, and the shoes were almost worn out.

When the old couple heard that it was made from a tailor's shop, they hurriedly put the clothes back into their pockets and asked Mrs. Li to return them.

"How much does a clothing store cost? Your money doesn't come from the wind."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Father and mother, we are not short of money now, we just need to buy a few sets of clothes, you can rest assured."

The old couple continued to look at it and removed a pocket. To them, these pockets were similar to blind boxes.

Every time they opened one, they felt very novel and pleasantly surprised, but they also felt sorry for their daughter.

With two children alone, he still doesn't forget their two old bones, and he still wants to take care of the children of his brother-in-law's family.

Over the years, she has helped them a lot, but the old couple also know that their daughter has been making a living by sewing, mending, and washing for others, and her life is also very difficult.

Although Xiao Lan was in the limelight recently, their daughter heard that she had a very close relationship with Xiao Lan, and they also heard news about their daughter and grandson from other people.

Many people satirize that their daughter has developed but did not come back to see them,
They didn't have any thoughts in their hearts, because they knew that their daughter should be very busy now.

They don't usually come back, but they occasionally come back to visit relatives in the second day of junior high school, so they waited eagerly at the door for their daughter and grandchildren to appear at the door.

Unexpectedly, their daughter's return really gave them a huge surprise.

The next pocket was the third pocket, which was filled with shoes and boots. The time was a bit short, so she and Erni prepared a pair of shoes and boots for each of the four of them, which were very warm and thick.

She also bought them a hat, and when her father put a hat on his head, he asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

I only heard my daughter say, "It's beautiful, it's so beautiful! It's very energetic!"

Mrs. Li heard her father ask with a smile, "Why haven't the children come back yet?"
