Aunt Li was reassigned as the caregiver for Old Master Huo by the higher-ups. As for Aunt Qiu, who was used when Jiang Peizhen's family lived in the villa, she had been transferred.

Jiang Peizhen had been with the family for over twenty years, and Lu's parents were not comfortable keeping her in the Lu family any longer.

So, Mr. Huo applied to his former boss to replace the nanny.

After Lu's mother and Ye Xiuqing put down the dishes they were carrying, Feng Zhiyi pulled them over to sit down. "Mom, godmother, please sit here. Let's sit side by side. After we finish eating, I'll go get the gifts."

"Ling Xiao and I bought a lot of things abroad, including shoes. We brought back more than a dozen pairs for each of you."

"Let me tell you, at Walmart in Paris, a good pair of boots only costs two dollars, which is much cheaper than in China!"

Ye Xiuqing looked surprised. "What? A pair of boots for only two US dollars?" That's only ten yuan in RMB.

You should know that in their domestic department stores and Friendship Stores, a pair of decent quality leather shoes can cost twenty or thirty yuan, and you even need a ration coupon.

Why is it so cheap overseas?

"Are things from abroad really that cheap?" Shen Yaqin was also very surprised.

As she spoke, she had already sat down on the dining chair to Feng Zhiyi's left.

Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "Not everything is cheap. Things like fruit and peanuts are more expensive than in China."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin and Ye Xiuqing finally calmed down a bit.

Shen Yaqin hadn't seen Feng Zhiyi for a long time. Now that her son and daughter-in-law had returned home after completing their mission, she was overjoyed. She kept putting food on Feng Zhiyi's plate and also kept putting food on Feng's grandmother's plate with serving chopsticks, telling her to eat and drink well and stay at home in peace.

Although it was the first time she had met her mother-in-law, she was very easy to talk to, kind and friendly, and easy to get along with.

After dinner, Lu Lingxiao was called to Old Master Huo's study on the second floor by several old men and Xie Huazhang. After Feng Zhiyi helped clean up the dishes, she went to bring over the box containing the gifts.

Several large boxes full.

It's all clothes, shoes, watches, cigarettes, alcohol, and the like that I bought for my elders...

The moment Feng Zhiyi opened the box, Ye Xiuqing exclaimed in surprise, "My God! Are all these things meant for us?"

Shen Yaqin looked at the six or seven boxes full of things and was extremely surprised.

"Zhiyi, buy yourself more clothes and supplies. Just buy us one or two outfits, no need to buy so many."

"We are both old women and men, and a few changes of clothes are enough for us."

There's really no need to buy so much.

Moreover, at a glance, all these clothes are brand-name items and very expensive!

Feng Zhiyi smiled and said, "How can that be? Since we're going shopping, we definitely have to buy something for everyone! We can't be biased or show any filial piety."

After saying that, she gave them a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin and Ye Xiuqing's smiles stretched from ear to ear.

It's all because I'm happy.

Feng Zhiyi always thought of them, and as a mother, she was naturally overjoyed and felt incredibly comforted.

"Mom, godmother, here, these two watches are for you, one for each of you, try them on."

As she spoke, she handed over two boxes containing Rolex watches.

When she and Ling Xiao were choosing watches, they thought of giving each of their elders a Rolex. In China, a Rolex watch sells for 588 yuan, while in Walmart supermarkets abroad, it costs 70 US dollars.

Same quality, but vastly different prices.

Before opening the box, Ye Xiuqing was all smiles and very happy. But the moment she opened it, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my! It's...it's a Rolex?"

"Zhiyi, how much is this watch? I'll pay you, but you've bought clothes and a watch, I can't accept it all..."

"We must accept it!"

Before Feng Zhiyi could finish speaking, she swallowed back all the words Ye Xiuqing was about to say with one sentence: "Godmother, if you don't accept them, then you don't treat Ling Xiao and me as your son and daughter-in-law, and you don't treat us as your family."

"How is that possible?"

She really likes her daughter-in-law Feng Zhiyi very much!

Feng Zhiyi immediately chimed in, "Then don't stand on ceremony with us. No matter what the gift is or how expensive it is, it's all a token of our appreciation as juniors."

"The value of courtesy lies not in its monetary worth, but in the sentiment behind it!"

"Besides, you are my and Ling Xiao's family and relatives, so isn't it only right that we buy you some nicer things?"

"Of course, of course!" Ye Xiuqing nodded repeatedly with a smile.

Shen Yaqin nodded and agreed with a smile, "That's right, Sister Xiuqing, look at me, I'm not polite with Zhiyi at all. As long as she buys it, even if it's worth thousands or tens of thousands, I'll happily accept it!"

Unexpectedly, no sooner had Shen Yaqin finished speaking than Feng Zhiyi actually took out a set of jade jewelry and handed it to her.

"Mom, I picked out this set of jewelry especially for you. I remember your 45th birthday is in half a month. When I was browsing jewelry stores, I immediately fell in love with it."

After saying that, she stood up, took the necklace out of the box, and put it on Shen Yaqin's neck. "I'm putting this on you to wish my dear mother to live a long and healthy life, forever 18 years old!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yaqin's eyes, which had been somewhat dazed, instantly filled with an extremely happy smile.

She immediately burst into laughter, nodding as she laughed, "Oh, good, good! Mom will wear it, she'll wear it all the time, so all the neighbors in the compound will be envious!"

Shen Yaqin was overjoyed!

She reached out and touched the jade necklace around her neck, feeling sweet and happy. It was a birthday gift that her good daughter-in-law had specially brought back for her from abroad!

And, Zhiyi also wished her to stay eighteen forever!

Everyone likes to hear nice things, and Shen Yaqin is no exception.

Upon hearing Feng Zhiyi's words, she immediately felt like the happiest and most blessed mother-in-law in the world!

"And bracelets?"

Feng Zhiyi smiled and replied, "Yes, the bracelets are a pair, and they're full of green. I've looked at them carefully, and there are no impurities inside. You can wear one on each wrist, and it would match well with a watch."

She bought this set of jade jewelry for $3,000.

At the time, she was immediately drawn to the quality of the jadeite set, feeling that it complemented Lu's mother's complexion, so she bought it without hesitation.

"It's very beautiful!"

Grandma Feng, who had been sitting on the sofa drinking tea, nodded happily upon seeing this.
