Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

How many households need to be given thank-you gifts? The Cheng family decided to do it last night.

Excluding the other four families whose children were also abducted and some of whom did not help, there were fifty-one households in the village and twenty-seven households in Suntou, for a total of 78 households.

Among them, six of the fifty-one households in the village not only had people and vehicles out of town.

In addition to these six households, the other seventy-two households, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, or how many people helped find the children, all received fifteen pieces of candy and five eggs as thank-you gifts.

If they really give thanks on a per-head basis, that's a mess.

It's impossible to figure it out.

For those six households that had both people and vehicles, like Old Man Lu's family and Mr. Fang's family, the thank-you gifts were thirty pieces of candy and ten eggs.

In fact, anyone who has large livestock at home doesn't care about this thing.

But again, it means the same thing.

Except for Cheng Sanping and Li Zhuang who have not returned from school, and Xiao Lin who is on the kang, the Cheng family, Gui Hua, and Yan Qiu all went into battle, cut up the pieces of oil paper that Cheng Wan bought, counted the quantities, and wrapped the candies. got up.

There is strength in numbers, and in a short while, seventy-eight bags of candy were neatly stacked in a basket.

"Okay, go quickly. After delivering the things and saying a few polite words, go to the next house. Don't wait too long. When you come back, you can have lunch."

Mrs. Lin bent down and checked it one last time. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she waved her hand and said to Cheng Daniu and the others.

Cheng Erping was carrying hens and fish.

Deng Xiong was carrying pastries and brown sugar.

Cheng Daniu was carrying a basket containing seventy-eight bags of candy.

Cheng Erniu and Li Sanzhu each carried a basket of eggs.

The five people were divided into two waves. Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong were only responsible for sending thank-you gifts to Tian Hou, while Cheng Daniu and the other three were responsible for sending thank-you gifts to the fifty-one households in the village and Sun Tou and the others.

Cheng Daniu and the others carried their things and left the main room one after another.

Mrs. Lin chased after two steps and shouted loudly: "There are six packs of candy that are different, so don't make mistakes! Walk carefully and don't drop the eggs!"

The Cheng family began to prepare lunch. Those who stayed at home had no idea how much Cheng Daniu and the others had shocked the people of Pingnan Village.

"The Cheng family is really capable and open-minded in their work!"

"I thought what Cheng Daniu said about visiting the house to say thank you was to say a few words of thanks. Who would have thought that their family would be so polite? This is both candy and eggs!"

"Ouch! This is really taking advantage of the Cheng family. They are so shameless and can still eat candy!"

"If anything happens to the Cheng family in the future, I will definitely help! They will remember it in their hearts! It's really exciting to do things!"

"My boss has nothing to say. This house is almost finished. Everyone should be more serious, but it's time to say goodbye. What's wrong with it will make my boss dissatisfied!"

"..."

However, some people were not satisfied with the thank-you gifts sent by the Cheng family.

An old lady watched the three Cheng Daniu leave and muttered: "Two men from our family went after those kidnappers! Then one person from Lao Wang's family left, so why did they all receive the same thank-you gifts?

Our family should have received more thank-you gifts than Lao Wang’s family! "

The old lady's eldest son sighed helplessly, "Mom, are there other families in the village who have three, four, or five children? Shouldn't those families receive more than our family?

Besides, we didn't do much to help. We just walked a little bit like we were just joining in the fun. The child was found by himself.

Just this bag of candy bars and five eggs cost me twenty cents, which is almost as much as a day's hard work. "

The old lady's mouth moved, but she had nothing to say, "There are fifteen pieces of candy in total. Let's smash a piece for a few children first, and let each child taste it and sweeten his mouth."

I will keep the rest first and eat it during the Chinese New Year. Normally we are reluctant to buy such precious things. "

Whether it was praise or dissatisfaction, Cheng Daniu and the three of them didn't know. They continued to send thank-you gifts along the village road.

At the same time, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong arrived at Aunt Chen's house carrying their things.

"Are you all at home?"

Aunt Chen and her family are all in the yard, busy with various trivial tasks.

"You...why are you here?"

Aunt Chen looked at Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong in confusion, wondering what the fuss was about.

Cheng Erping walked into Aunt Chen's yard with a smile, raised the old hens and fish in his hands, "We brothers are here to give Tian Hou a gift of thanks."

"What? Give me a thank you gift?"

Tian Hou put down the unfinished knitted backpack in his hand and stood up, pointing at himself with a look of disbelief on his face.

In the courtyard, Tian Hou’s family members also felt baffled.

Cheng Erping walked up to Tianhou, nodded solemnly, and said seriously, "Tianhou, thank you for the news you told us yesterday, otherwise we might not be able to find my sisters in time."

After saying that, Cheng Erping put the old hen on the ground and handed the fish to Tian Hou.

Tian Houhou stretched out his hand to take the fish handed to him by Process Daniel with a dumbfounded face, still a little unresponsive.

Deng Xiong followed Cheng Erping. He silently handed the pastry box he was carrying to Tian Hou. Two kilograms of brown sugar were placed on the lid of the pastry box.

"Thank you!"

Tian Houhou still took the pastry box blankly.

"Our two families have one code. Your family helped find a child yesterday, and our family noticed it. My father and the others will send thank-you gifts to your family later. They are giving them to other families in the village. , haven’t come here yet.

We brothers went back first. "

After speaking, Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong turned around and left.

Aunt Chen and her family watched Cheng Erping and Deng Xiong leave, unable to regain their composure for a long time.

Aunt Chen's wife Tian Da sighed deeply, "Our family did make mistakes before. The Cheng family is... quite good."

"Our family is indeed beyond the reach of the Cheng family."

Tian Da did not say this last sentence.

Tian Hou looked down at the fish in his left hand, then at the pastry box in his right hand, and finally at the old hen at his feet.

"I... this is the first time in my life that I have been thanked like this.

No! This was the first time someone said thank you to me.

It feels, it feels a little strange.

But I feel like... I feel really happy. "

Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu came back at a very coincidental time.

Mrs. Lin just came out of the kitchen and was about to ask Deng Xiong to see where Cheng Daniu and the others had sent their thank-you gifts. Cheng Daniu and Cheng Erniu came back with three empty baskets.

Mrs. Lin rubbed her hands on her apron and said with a smile: "It's a good time for you to hurry up. Wash your hands quickly, we have to eat.

Sanzhu went home? "

Cheng Daniu put the basket in the same place and said while washing his hands: "I'm home. I asked him to come to my house for dinner, but he insisted on going back."

“Xing’er is cooking at home, how could Sanzhu come over to eat.

Hurry, the rice will get cold later. "

With that said, Mrs. Lin turned back to the kitchen.

Today at noon, since Cheng Daping left home, there were nine people eating together at Cheng Wan's dinner table again.

"Eat more, sweet-scented osmanthus, beautiful autumn, pickled vegetables, why can't you open your mouth when eating?"

Old Mrs. Lin watched Guihua and Yanqiu pick up their chopsticks for a long time, then directly picked up a few chopsticks for the two girls and put them into their bowls.

Cheng Wan knew that they were embarrassed to pick up the food. Maybe they were thinking that they would eat less so that they would be less disliked.

Cheng Wan didn't look up and just said calmly: "Eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work for me."

Upon hearing this, Osmanthus fragrans and Yanqiu really started to eat.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Wan put down her chopsticks and saw that everyone had almost eaten.

"I'm going on a long trip and I'll be back in about eight days."
