Chapter 913: Dragon Boat Festival’s Gifts ( 1 )
Chen Anbing wiped the sweat on his forehead and said. “Brother-in-law, before you go back, please stay for lunch.”

Lu Han smiled and refused politely, “Thank you, brother-in-law, but we have to go back now. Our family is still waiting for us to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.”

“Then I will treat you to a meal next time,” Chen Anbing said.

“I will thank my brother-in-law in advance then!” Lu Han nodded.

Thanks to the brief conversation, the villagers no longer felt curious or suspicious. After moving all the grain to the warehouse, Lu Han, Lu Cheng, and Zhang Ermu returned home.

Although people in the city do not celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, most villagers still maintain their traditions. On the way back, the Lu brothers and Zhang Ermu saw many children eating red bean cakes.

At the same time, Lu Jueyu, Li Chenmo, and the children were packing Zongzi, five-color glutinous rice cakes, salted duck eggs, red bean cakes, and thin pancakes in the kitchen. They will give these to family and friends, so they need to be packaged individually.

Lu Jueyu prepared fifteen Zongzi for Father Li and Li Chenze’s family. Eight Zongzi were given to Li Lingyun and Pan Meijia.

For the Lu family, Lu Jueyu prepared five Zongzi for her parents, ten Zongzi for her eldest brother’s family, and six Zongzi for her second brother’s family.

For her friends, she prepared 15 Zongzi for the Liu family, 10 Zongzi for Zhang Ermu’s family, 10 Zongzi for Su Lide’s family, 10 Zongzi for Feng Lin’s family, and 15 Zongzi for Chen Jianmin’s family. She also prepared 5 Zongzi for Doctor Xie and Li Shu.

As for her husband’s subordinates, each person gets one Zongzi, five pieces of five-color glutinous rice cake, five red bean cakes, two salted duck eggs, and five thin pancakes.

After they finished packing up the gifts, there were less than twenty Zongzi left for Lu Jueyu’s family.

Seeing the food, Dong Huang asked, “Mother, can I have one Zongzi?”

“Of course, let’s eat together first, and then give the gifts to our relatives and friends,” Lu Jueyu nodded.

After breakfast, Lu Jueyu handed the gift prepared for Chen Jianmin, Feng Lin, Dr. Xie, and Liu Hua’s family to Dong Li and Dong Huang.

Dong Huang was carrying a small bamboo basket and said, “Mother, Father, we will be back at noon.”

“Okay, be careful on the road,” Lu Jueyu reminded her children.

“Mother, I will keep an eye on Xiao Huang.” Dong Li said.

“Okay.”

After the children left, Lu Jueyu and Li Chenmo went to the Liu family’s house to deliver the gift. They rode the bicycle and visited Father Li and Li Chenze first.

As for Dong Li and Dong Huang, they went to Chen Jianmin’s house first. When they arrived, they saw that Chen Xiang’s three children were also present. At this time, except for Chen Jianmin and his younger siblings, the rest of the family was nowhere to be seen.

When Chen Jianmin saw them coming, he said, “Ah Li, Xiao Huang, what brings you here?”

Dong Li had a headache when he saw the children playing in the front yard. But when Dong Huang saw them, her eyes lit up, she opened the door and walked into the courtyard with familiarity.

“Brother Jianmin, my brother and I are here to deliver some Zongzi for you and your family,” she said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the children’s eyes lit up. Dong Huang took out the food from the bamboo basket without noticing the children’s eager eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Jianmin reached out to take the bamboo basket in her hand and said, “Let’s go in. My parents were going to the foothills and were not at home.”

Dong Huang and Dong Li walked into the living room, followed by a group of children.

After placing the bamboo basket on the table, Chen Jianmin poured a cup of tea for his friends and said, “Ah Li, Xiao Huang, have some tea first.”

When the Dong siblings were drinking tea, the children couldn’t help but look into the bamboo basket. Seeing them like this, Chen Jianmin said, “Xiaobai, go to the kitchen and get a basket.”

“Okay, brother!”

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jianbai had already run to the kitchen. In less than five minutes, he came back with a bamboo basket and several plates.

Chen Jianmin moved the Zongzi from Dong Huang’s basket to theirs. He was surprised when he saw fifteen Zongzi, ten thin pancakes, ten five-color glutinous rice cakes, and five salted duck eggs.

“Ah Li, this is too much,” he said.

Dong Li poured herself another cup of tea and said, “This is what my mother prepared for you and your family. Take it away, or I have to bring it back later. It’s too much trouble.”

Chen Jianmin knew that Lu Jueyu would be unhappy if he returned the food, so he took the food out of the basket. He put the Zongzi on the bamboo basket and the rice cakes, thin pancakes, and salted duck eggs on the plate.

When his younger brothers and sisters saw the food, their eyes were fixed on the food, but no one dared to take it.

Chen Jianmin went to the kitchen and came back with ten red bean cakes. He put it into Dong Huang’s basket and said, “The red bean cake made by my mother is delicious. Bring some back to your parents.”

Dong Li did not refuse and said, “Thank your parents for me.”

“Okay.”

After delivering the food, Dong Li stood up and said, “Xiao Huang and I are going to visit Aunt Liu, Dr. Xie, and Feng Lin. We will take our leave now.”

Hearing that they were going to see Dr. Xie, Chen Jianmin asked, “Ah Li, can you help me deliver something to Shushu? I can’t leave these children alone at home.”

Hearing his friend call Li Shu so affectionately, Dong Li raised his eyebrows and said, “No problem.”
