The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Chapter 421 Why do you give such expensive gifts?

That little spotted pig was a purse pig, with short legs and a big belly. It loved to be fat but couldn't grow big. He sold it early and only got 96 yuan in total. He really wanted this blanket, but the money in his pocket was too much! He couldn't owe Qi Laoqi.

Pan Xiaowen's face turned a little red, "Brother Qi, look, can I have this bed blanket?" He asked someone to get it, and in the end he asked for a cheaper one, which was somewhat unreasonable.

Qi Laoqi was quite happy. He didn't feel bad about giving Qi Feifei something. If he gave less, he would feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, that's great. I'll give her the blanket. It'll be hers in the end anyway."

Pan Xiaowen explained, "It's not that I don't want to give my sister something expensive, it's mainly because I don't have the money in my pocket!"

Qi Laoqi, "I see, this is a lot. Usually the gift is only two or three yuan. Even your brothers may not give as much as you do. You are a good kid, I think we can be friends!"

Pan Xiaowen felt even more embarrassed. "My sister is also nice to me."

Qi Laoqi, "I'm still hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Pan Xiaowen, "Oh, I'll do it for you right away."

As he said this, he took out a handkerchief from a wooden box on the kang, gave Qi Laoqi the money first, and then hurried out to cook.

Qi Laoqi weighed the badger oil and mixed it at a ratio of one badger oil to five cents of borneol.

"Pan Xiaowen, you can fill a can for yourself and give the rest to your sister. This stuff can heal burns, scalds, frostbite, bruises, etc. quickly without leaving scars."

Pan Xiaowen had heard that badger oil could cure burns and frostbite, but he didn't know that it could be used to treat wounds, and he didn't know that it had to be mixed with borneol. He carefully stored it away. He didn't know how many injuries he had throughout the year, but he really needed it.

After dinner, Qi Laoqi didn't sleep yet. He waited for Qi Feifei to come back and give her the things so that he could leave early the next morning.

Qi Feifei finished his meal at the pig farm and chatted for a while before coming back. It was almost ten o'clock when he got home.

Pan Xiaowen asked Qi Laoqi to take out the gift. Qi Feifei was also surprised. This gift was too expensive! But it was not good to refuse it. It was given sincerely, especially since Qi Laoqi had asked someone to buy it for him.

"Thank you then. I'll go hunt some game tomorrow and we'll have some fun!" Qi Feifei planned to give everyone some game as a return gift.

Qi Laoqi really wanted to go hunting with Qi Feifei, but he had promised Li Qiaoying to leave early tomorrow morning.

"I'll go back first and tell my family that I've been away for several days. I'm afraid they'll be worried about me. Didn't you say you're not leaving? I'll come back in a few days."

Qi Feifei, that’s fine. I’ll cook first and we’ll eat when you come.

Qi Laoqi, "No, no, that's so embarrassing, you guys should eat."

Qi Laoqi gave the remaining badger oil to Qi Feifei, and he also told Qi Feifei how to use the badger oil. Add borneol to external injuries to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and itching, and detoxify and reduce swelling. If you are treating hemorrhoids, you don't need to add borneol, just apply it directly.

He didn't know that Qi Feifei studied medicine every day, but he knew it a long time ago. Qi Feifei didn't interrupt him and learned from him humbly. She expressed her gratitude for his kindness.

The next morning, Qi Laoqi left without having breakfast. He sincerely hoped that the woman would live a good life and did not want to cause her any trouble.

Li Qiaoying was afraid of meeting Qi Laoqi, so she waited until almost noon before bringing her children over.

Qi Feifei was really afraid of them. Why did they give such expensive gifts?

Before Li Qiaoying left, Lin Ge came, carrying a small cloth bag wrapped in a headscarf. Seeing Li Qiaoying was there, he was too embarrassed to open it. They chatted for a while and Lin Ge didn't say what she came for. Li Qiaoying realized that this was probably a gift for Qi Feifei. Since the other party didn't want to open it in front of her, she said that she had work to do at home and went back first.

Qi Feifei took the initiative to give her half a can of badger oil. She had two children at home and lived in the mountains. It would be difficult to find someone to help if they got bumped or bruised, let alone find a doctor. Having this would be convenient for emergencies.

Li Qiaoying did not refuse, thanked him and went back.

Seeing that she and Qi Feifei were the only ones left, Lin Ge opened her scarf and pushed it to Qi Feifei embarrassedly, "Fei Fei, you know I'm in a difficult situation right now and I don't have much money. Don't despise me, it's just a token of my appreciation."

Qi Feifei shook them open and saw that they were two pairs of pillowcases made with scraps of cloth. One pair was made of pastel-colored Dacron inlaid with white teeth, and had two little rabbits inlaid with scraps of cloth on them. The other pair was made of blue cotton, also inlaid with white teeth, and had two little bears inlaid with scraps of cloth on them.

Lin Ge, "This is my first time making it, so I didn't do it very well. I'll make it for you again when my skills improve."

Qi Feifei's eyes were a little moist. This was clearly the shirt and top she brought with her when she came from the city.

Qi Feifei held back her tears and said, "Lin Ge, I like it, I like it so much, you have such a skillful hand." How difficult it is to make a piece of clothing now! She was willing to tear up two good clothes.

Lin Ge smiled, as if she didn't dislike it. "If you like me, I'll do it again. When your family is settled, write to me and I'll send it to you."

When Lin Ge left, Qi Feifei also gave her half a bottle of badger oil.

I plan to take the rest to the captain's home.

In the evening, after returning to the courtyard, Qi Feifei told Huo Sheng about the gifts she had received. "Their gifts are too expensive. What should I give them in return?" She had to return the favor before leaving. After she left, she didn't know how many years she would be able to come back!

Huo Sheng was also a little worried. He was no longer able to get many good things than before. The two sat face to face, thinking hard.

Huo Sheng, "Help them find a way to make money, it's better than giving them dead things, otherwise... No, they can't learn your way of making money." They couldn't go hunting, nor could they run around the mountains all day like Qi Feifei did before.

Qi Feifei was taking stock in her mind of what things she had, whether she could give them away and whether the other person needed them.

After listening to Huo Sheng, how to make money?

Li Qiaoying already has it. As long as she takes good care of the fungus, she won’t have to worry about building a house and raising children in the future.

If Pan Xiaowen could raise rabbits well, he would have no worries about food, clothing and finding a wife.

Qi Laoqi has no shortage of ways to make money.

If Lin Ge's fabrics are ready, it will be a way out in the future.

Oh! Giving gifts that touch the heart and are also practical is not an easy task!

"Let's think about what to give!

Meat delivery is the most convenient way to get it, and everyone needs it, but after the New Year, it will be gone, and we can’t keep the excess! ”

Huo Sheng, "That's fine. The book has methods for smoking bacon and fish. We can make them for them, but we need a lot of salt."

Qi Feifei, "Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to see if it's open. I'll buy more."
