Xia Qingqing was somewhat surprised when she suddenly received a large package from Fan Sheng.

There were many things inside: silver hairpins and bracelets, various sachets and handkerchiefs, antique-style rouge and face powder, and two bolts of silk of excellent quality.

Fan Sheng sent a message saying that these were gifts for her, thanking her for the two glass cups, which helped his family through a difficult time.

Xia Qingqing smiled. Just as she had thought, glass cups were very valuable in ancient times. She casually picked up a hollowed-out silver bracelet and played with it, feeling happy for Fan Sheng.

Although she didn't know the specifics of Fan Sheng's family situation, she could tell from their brief conversation that Fan Sheng was short of money, which is why she thought of helping him out.

Looking at the large bag of gifts on the table, Xia Qingqing felt that she had to reciprocate. Strictly speaking, the two glass cups from last time were used to buy eggs and vegetables, and did not count as gifts she gave to Fan Sheng.

After thinking it over, Xia Qingqing finally found four glasses in the system's inventory and sent them to Fan Sheng.

Since this item was valuable in ancient times, let Fan Sheng sell it for more money so he can improve his life.

As for why she wasn't willing to give Fan Sheng a few more, it wasn't because she was stingy, but because glass cups are valued for their rarity; having too many would diminish their worth.

Xia Qingqing stroked the two bolts of silk on the table. They felt light and soft to the touch, and she immediately decided to ask Zhang Hongyan to make two sets of pajamas for her using these silks.

She usually wears pure cotton pajamas, which are very comfortable, but she still wants to try wearing silk pajamas.

As soon as Zhang Hongyan arrived home, her daughter pulled her into the room, where she noticed two bolts of silk on the table.

"Qingqing, did you buy this today? Why did you buy so much?" Zhang Hongyan asked her daughter in disbelief.

Who buys two bolts of cloth at once? And it's not just ordinary homespun cloth, how much does that cost?

Xia Qingqing chuckled and touched her nose: "It just so happened that I bought two pieces. Mom, can you make me a pair of pajamas? You can make two for yourself too."

"Such fine fabric for pajamas?" Zhang Hongyan wondered if she was hearing things.

"That's why we make pajamas! They're so comfortable to wear to bed," Xia Qingqing said matter-of-factly.

Zhang Hongyan: "......"

This spendthrift woman is probably not worth keeping.

Xia Qingqing hugged Zhang Hongyan's arm and said coquettishly, "Oh, my dear good mother, the weather is about to turn cold. It's so comfortable to sleep in silk pajamas. Can you make me a couple?"

Zhang Hongyan couldn't resist her daughter's coaxing and quickly gave in: "Okay, okay, I'll make it for you, just tell me what style you want."

"I want a long nightgown, and a set of long-sleeved and long-legged pajamas, the top should have buttons... Oh, and remember to make it a little loose," Xia Qingqing stated her demands without any hesitation.

Zhang Hongyan looked at her with affection: "Okay, I'll start making it for you tonight. Let me go cook now, otherwise the whole family will starve."

Xia Qingqing grabbed Zhang Hongyan's hand, not letting her leave: "Oh, Mom, don't rush, I still have a gift for you."

"What is that?" Zhang Hongyan asked her daughter suspiciously.

"Ta-da! Do you like it?" Xia Qingqing pulled out a hollowed-out silver bracelet from her bosom.

Zhang Hongyan looked at the exquisite bracelet in her hand, her eyes filled with undisguised delight: "Where did this come from?"

"I bought it," Xia Qingqing said as she gently put the bracelet on her wrist.

Zhang Hongyan stared intently at the bracelet on her wrist and asked, "This must be very expensive, right?"

She estimated that the bracelet weighed about 20 grams, and with the labor cost, it would cost at least 10 or 20 yuan.

Why do I say that? Because this bracelet looks so new, it doesn't look like anyone has ever worn it.

Xia Qingqing playfully stuck out her tongue: "If you like it, just wear it. Don't worry about the price. How about I buy you a gold one next time?"

If she weren't afraid of scarening her mother by taking out too much at once, she would have just taken out several large gold bracelets to make her mother happy.

However, this idea is just wishful thinking. If she actually did it, her mother would probably chase after her and scold her for being a spendthrift.

"Oh, no, no, wearing gold and silver would make me look like a landlord's wife. I'm content with just one beautiful silver bracelet," Zhang Hongyan said with a smile.

"The regulations aren't as strict now. If you're worried about people seeing you, just wear it at home," Xia Qingqing said nonchalantly.

Zhang Hongyan shook her head with a smile: "Wouldn't it be frustrating to buy something nice but not be able to wear it out? It's better not to buy it at all."

"Hmph, anyway, as your daughter, I want to be filial to you, and you can't stop me," Xia Qingqing said with a haughty snort.

Zhang Hongyan was deeply moved, and her eyes welled up with tears. Her daughter was indeed a sweet and considerate daughter.

She forced back her tears and said with a smile, "I'm not going to argue with you anymore. If I don't cook soon, we'll really be starving tonight."

"Mom, I want to help you cook too," Xia Qingqing said excitedly, following Zhang Hongyan into the kitchen.

It was during dinner that Xia Heping noticed his wife had a silver bracelet on her wrist.

He asked with a hint of curiosity, "Wife, where did you get this silver bracelet? I've never seen it before. It's quite beautiful."

"Your eldest daughter gave it to you, right? Or did you buy it for her?" Zhang Hongyan said with a half-smile, sarcastically.

I've been married to this man for over 20 years, but I've never seen him buy me any jewelry.

Xia Heping was scolded by his wife, and he felt a little wronged and confused. What was wrong with his wife this time?

He did want to buy things for his wife, but wasn't all the money in her hands?

Since she has all the money, she can buy whatever she wants. Isn't that a good thing?

Seeing his father's stunned expression, Gou Dan grinned and tried to smooth things over: "Mom, the bracelet my sister bought you is so pretty. When I grow up, I'll buy you lots of pretty bracelets too."

Zhang Hongyan was amused by her son's sweet words: "You, just don't make me angry when you grow up. I don't expect you to buy me anything."

These were her true feelings. Nine out of ten men forget their mothers after marrying a wife, and she was prepared in advance that her son would be one of them.

Dog Egg pouted unhappily: "No way, I definitely won't make you angry, and I'll buy you lots and lots of things."

“Okay, then Mom will be waiting for your good stuff,” Zhang Hongyan replied with a smile.

Xia Heping looked at Gou Dan with a sour expression: "You only care about your mother, what about your father?"

"We have them all, Mom and Dad, and my sister too, we have them all," Gou Dan said with a smile, promising everyone a rosy picture.
