By the end of the year, most of those who went out to work would come back home and visit the Xiao Family or send gifts.
In their hearts, Xiao Wanshan’s family was the richest in the village, so they came to connect with them and because of Xiao Jinli’s reputation and status in the village.
“Ah, Xiao Hua, Xiao Ming, and Xiaoliang, you guys are back.”
“Yes, Auntie, we’re back. We came to see you, Uncle, and Jinli as soon as we returned. This is the local specialty I bought!”
“You came, that’s enough, why buy anything? Come in, come in, sit down for a while.”
Xiao Mother welcomed these young people into the house with a happy smile,
“I’ll make tea!”
“Auntie, don’t bother.”
“Haha, I’m not busy. I’m just making some tea. I remember you all love drinking our family’s tea.”
Because Xiao Jinli added more Lingquan water to brew the tea, the tea was very fragrant and sweet. Both the older and younger people loved it.
Hearing Xiao Mother saying this, these young people politely stayed.
You need to know that the things in Xiao Wanshan’s house were amazing, whether it was meals, drinks, tea, or snacks, all were top-notch. They usually didn’t have the chance to eat them.
They didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
“Thank you, Auntie. We will just drink some tea and go back. By the way,
Auntie, I also brought some small gifts for Jinli.”
Little girls’ gifts are usually clothes, hair clips, toys, etc.
Jinli had been blessed with luck since childhood, and the close people around her always had good luck.
Over the years, although they went out to work and didn’t earn much money, they were all safe and sound.
Xiao Mother looked at the gifts they took out and laughed, “You guys are really too polite. Our Little Bao has received so many gifts from you guys since she was little. The gifts you gave her are almost filling up the entire house. I remember your kindness, but please, don’t buy her any more gifts in the future.’
“Auntie, we love Jinli, and when we come home, we think of buying her some little gifts.” Someone laughed and said, “Oh, right, Auntie, where is Jinli?”
Xiao Mother pointed to a greenhouse not far away, smiled, and said, “She goes there every day to check on the earthworms and the seedlings’ growth.”
“Jinli is really smart and capable.” Someone sighed, “She is only in her early teens, yet she is doing adult work.”
“Jinli is different from us ordinary people from a young age.” Someone laughed and agreed, “From a young age, she was meant for big things. While we were playing in the mud in the fields, Jinli would help the village handle matters. When we were able to help our families with work, Jinli was already helping the village with important affairs.”
“Yeah, comparing ourselves with her is frustrating. Fortunately, there’s only one Jinli.” Someone joked, “If there was another one, it would make us seem even more foolish.’
While the others chatted casually, Xiao Mother quickly brewed the tea and brought it over.
“It smells so good.” Someone moved their nose and exclaimed, “Auntie, how did you make this tea? It’s getting more and more fragrant. Just smelling it from far away makes me want to pick up the teapot and drink it all in one gulp.’
