I Transmigrated Into a Novel and Became the Vicious Stepmother of Five Cute Babies

315 Gift

After this little interlude, everyone started to make noodles again. They were busy until dusk and smoke was lit up in every household.

When Aunt Liu left, she was holding a large bowl of noodles in her hand, and Qin Qingyan, who was also holding a large bowl of noodles, followed her.

“Qingyan, you really don’t have to send me off. I’ll come back later.”

Aunt Liu said to Qin Qingyan as she walked out.

Although she had helped the Qin family for a day, she had also brought out the family’s noodles.

“It’s fine, Grandma Liu. It’s just a few steps. It’s not like I’m tired.”

Qin Qingyan shook his head. He handed the torch to Aunt Liu and said, “Why don’t you help me with the torch and I’ll take this.”

As he spoke, he wanted to take the basin from Aun Liu’s hands.

“Don’t. How can I let you take everything? Let’s do it together.”

As the two of them walked back and forth, Mo Ruyue came over with a pot of noodles and handed it to Qin Qingyan.

“Take this pot as well. The cold food festival is going to last for several days, so it’s always good to prepare more.”

In addition to the noodles made today, there were so many pastries, candies, and other things at home. There was really an endless supply of food to eat. It was better to give more of these noodles to the Liu couple.

“Look at what you’re saying. I was here to help you, but now I have to take more.”

Aunt Liu said embarrassedly, but she also knew that since Mo Ruyue had given it to her, there was no reason for her to take it back.

“Grandma Liu, just take it. We don’t have much in our house, but we eat the most. You know that too.”

Qin Qingduo walked over with a smile, holding two boxes of various pastries in his hands. It seemed that he was also going to send them to the Liu couple’s house.

In the end, the three of them left together. Mo Ruyue stood at the door and glanced at them, then turned around and went back to the yard.

Soon, it was Chinese New Year’s Eve. At night, they would set off firecrackers to watch the new year. They also had to eat New Year’s Eve dinner and make dumplings. It was a day that all children looked forward to.

The five babies of the Qin family didn’t need anyone to wake them up. They woke up two hours earlier than usual. No, it could be said that they were so excited that they didn’t sleep much the entire night. They were already waiting for the sky to turn dark before dawn.

There were also people who got up even earlier. Before the first rays of the morning sun, there was already a long convoy of horses that had arrived at the Qin Village’s entrance and were heading towards Mo Ruyue’s house with ease.

The sound of the rolling wheels alerted the villagers, and they all came out with torches to check the situation. When they saw that the convoy was even longer than the last three carriages, they were completely stunned.

“Oh my God, how many things are there in this? Why can’t I see the end of it!”

“That’s right, it seems that it is going to the Qin family’s first household. Could it be that it is really for Lady Qin?”

“Oh my God, I can’t even imagine a truckload of things. So many truckloads, how much money would that be!”

Everyone was discussing animatedly. Other than being envious, they could not think of anything else.

However, the more everyone envied Mo Ruyue, the more they wanted to see the Qin family make a fool of themselves. Unfortunately, Qin Shi was still in prison, Qin Xu was still missing.

Seeing so many carriages pass by, all the villagers couldn’t hold it in any longer. One by one, they abandoned their own work and prepared to follow to see the show.

With so many gifts being sent to the village, they were afraid that such a thing would not happen again in the future. Even if they were for others, it was good to be able to satisfy their eyes.

Although Mo Ruyue knew that there would be another wave of gifts today, she didn’t expect it to be so big. Was this the extent of the noble families’ actions?

In fact, he could have folded them into gold notes and given them to her. For example, the way the person who left a bag of gold notes on the beam of the house would have been much simpler and cruder.

However, since the gift had already been delivered to her door, there was no reason to reject it. Mo Ruyue turned her head and glanced at her own courtyard. Although it was not small, there was probably no more space to store things.

Two people alighted from the first carriage. One was the white commander of the Bai manor, and the other was an unfamiliar face that Mo Ruyue had never seen before.

The two of them walked in front of Mo Ruyue and greeted her with a smile. “Lady Qin, we’ve followed Master’s instructions to send you the last new year gift.”

“White Commander, and this gentleman, thank you for your hard work.” Mo Ruyue also smiled in response.

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person. Besides, they were here to give her a gift, so she couldn’t be cold to them.

“Lady Qin, this one is the steward of the Ouyang family. Master had previously instructed to prepare a generous gift for you. It’s just that this one had to rush over from the Ouyang family, and the journey is really a bit far, so I was delayed until now.”

The stranger was a very refined middle-aged man. Although the corners of his eyes and the tips of his brows had been engraved with the traces of time, one could still see the elegant demeanor of his youth.

This was a person who could make people feel good at first sight. However, to Mo Ruyue, it didn’t matter even if he looked fierce. It was not good to judge a person by their appearance, not to mention that he had brought a large number of gifts.

“Mr. Ouyang, you’ve come a long way. You’ve worked hard. Please go in and rest first, then we’ll talk slowly.” Mo Ruyue said and wanted to let the two of them into the house.

“We’re not busy. In fact, my master had already instructed us before he came here. This time, the number of gifts sent is huge. I’m afraid that Lady Qin’s family won’t be able to put it all down, so they have specially prepared a list.”

“Lady Qin, please follow us to take stock. After confirming that there are no mistakes, the things will be brought back to the county. The masters have chosen a house in a very good location for you. These things will be placed in the house and specially taken care of.”

Steward Ouyang smiled and rejected Mo Ruyue’s suggestion. He turned around and waved to the people behind him. Immediately, a person who looked like an attendant came over with a tray. On it was a thick list of records.

Just by looking at this endless carriage group, it was not difficult to guess how many gifts were piled up on it, so it was not surprising that there were two thick copies of the booklet.

“Then I’ll have to trouble the two of you. Let’s start counting now.”

Only now did Mo Ruyue understand the reason why these two had come so early. There were simply too many things, and who knew when they would finish counting them all.

“Uncles, drink some hot tea to warm your body first. You’ve come all the way here, and it’s been hard on you.”

Qin Qingduo walked out of the kitchen with Qin Qinghao and Qin Qingwan. One of them was carrying a teapot, another was carrying a tray with two teacups, and the last was carrying a box of pastries.

Qin Qingyan and Qin Qinghong were each carrying a basket filled with clean porcelain bowls. It seemed like they were going to send tea to the coachmen.

“Thank you, little brother. I’m really a little thirsty.”

Steward Ouyang’s smile did not falter, giving off a feeling of a spring breeze.
