Chapter 306: New Year’s Goods

After washing the dishes, Lu Ran and Lu Sheng moved all the New Year goods off the carriage.

“There’s so many!”

Lu Jiang held Lu Xin’s hand and stood at the side, dumbfounded.

Lu Ran was also surprised. “There’s so much. Can we finish them all?”

In the past, they had not even seen them, let alone eat them.

How would Mdm Liu bear to buy these New Year goods? She could not even bear to fork out money for a few pastries.

Even if she bought them, most of them would fall into Lu Ning’s hands.

“Give some to Grandma and the rest, then Aunt Yu and Uncle Li Zheng.”

Matriarch Fu had given her two mansions’ worth of goods. Chu Sihan did not take any of them. If she kept all of them for herself, she would definitely not be able to finish them.

Furthermore, other than the two children, she and Lu Ran did not like to eat these things.

“Okay.”

Lu Ran nodded. “I was about to speak to Brother Tao. I’ll bring Uncle Li Zheng’s portion over later.”

“Oh right.”

Lu Ran pointed at the basket beside him. “Brother Tao sent over half a crate of apples this morning. He said it’s a gift for us.”

“That’s good.”

Lu Sheng took the basket beside her and filled it with some dried fruits and sweet pastries. “These can be a gift in return.”

She had tasted these things on the way. They were quite delicious and children should love them.

Tao Jia had a five-year-old son who would come back only once every new year. Hence, Lu Sheng did not have much impression of this child.

Lu Ran received the basket and walked out.

“Brother, remember to bring the basket back.”

Lu Dahua used to make baskets and bamboo baskets to sell, so their family used to not lack these items.

However, Lu Dahua was still in jail. No one made these now, so there were only a few left.

“Got it.”

Lu Ran replied without turning his head.

Lu Sheng retracted her gaze and continued filling Aunt Yu’s basket.

Lu Jiang said, “Second Sister, I’ll send this to Aunt Yu.”

Xiao Yuan Zi must be very happy to have so much delicious food.

Lu Sheng smiled. “Can you carry it?”

“Yes!”

Lu Jiang nodded.

His appearance reminded Lu Sheng of her childhood in her previous life.

At that time, she and her master lived in the valley. There were no families nearby.

It was only when she was six years old that an old man suddenly appeared next door.

When Master cooked braised chicken once, that old man had been loitering outside her house.

When she saw him, she felt that the old man was too pitiful. Hence, she asked her master to give him some.

Her master was quite generous. He brought a bowl of rice and a small bowl of braised chicken for the old man.

When the old man saw this, he was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

After that, every time her master cooked, he would get her to send some to that old man.

Every time she saw that old man’s happy face, she would feel happy and satisfied.

However, the old man moved away later on.

She asked her master where the old man had moved to. However, her master said that the old man had returned home.

In the past, she did not understand. It was only later that she realized that the old man was not a human at all, but a ghost who died nearby.

She ran to the next door to take a look, only to see that the dishes she had sent earlier had been dried by the sun.

Although the old man had ‘gone home,’ Lu Sheng still remembered how happy he looked when she sent him food.

“Me! I’ll carry it with Brother!”

Lu Xin’s voice pulled Lu Sheng’s thoughts back.

She smiled and nodded. “Be careful not to fall.”

Then, she passed the basket to the siblings.
