Chapter 406 Annual Gift List

"Aunt Tang, what brings you here so late? Is there something you need?" Cen Yan changed the subject, not wanting to waste her breath on this woman, Shan Xianxian.

"It's nothing. I just overheard someone saying bad things about you while I was passing by, and I got angry, so I said a few words. You bought so many things, so I'll help you carry them inside," Aunt Tang said with a smile.

Cen Yan didn't refuse Aunt Tang's kindness. She smiled and said "yes" as she walked inside. Aunt Tang helped her while telling her about interesting things that happened in the family compound.

Before leaving, Cen Yan gave her two cans of luncheon meat and a small bag of pastries, which made Aunt Tang feel extremely flattered.

"I'm helping you not so you can give me anything in return, why are you being so polite?" Aunt Tang was very uneasy. She didn't want to take any benefits from Cen Yan, but she couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the canned luncheon meat.

She's lived a long life and has never eaten canned food. Even if she has canned food at home, she only uses it for special occasions. It's a rare treat, and she wouldn't eat it herself, but it's presentable to give it away as a gift.

Cen Yan handed the things to Aunt Tang: "We're like family, why are you being so polite with me? But there aren't many of these, and I don't have many to give away. Aunt Tang, please keep them hidden so that the other women in the family compound don't see them."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely hide it and eat it secretly." Or I'll save it to send to my daughter back home; her grandchildren have never tasted anything so exquisite.

Aunt Tang left happily with the can of luncheon meat. Cen Yan rummaged through the basket for some meat, pastries, fruit candies, and other things, and then took two cans of luncheon meat and two cans of fruit from her spatial storage.

Going to give gifts to Wang Lijuan and Political Commissar Lu is simply inappropriate, as they are Qi Jingchuan's elders, and it would be unreasonable not to show them any courtesy during the New Year.

Apart from that, it seems there are no other favors he needs to do. Qi Jingchuan has very few personal connections on Dongming Island, and there are no people he needs to specially protect because he is the leader of the group. To put it bluntly, there are plenty of people who come to curry favor with Qi Jingchuan.

We'll figure out who's coming over later and then carefully consider the return gift! Finally, there's the list of New Year's gifts for Huang Yuchang, Mi Shan, and Yang Mei, which are part of her social obligations.

Huang Yuchang was her mentor. The New Year's gifts were the same as those given by Political Commissar Lu's family: two catties of meat, half a bag of pastries, half a bag of water, two cans of luncheon meat, and two cans of fruit.

Mi Shan and Yang Mei, who were close friends with the nurses, had prepared two cans of luncheon meat. It was so generous that it was eye-catching, and it would also be inconvenient for them to reciprocate...

On one side, Cen Yan was busily preparing New Year's gifts for herself and Qi Jingchuan's friends, while on the other side, Shan Xianxian went home feeling utterly fuming after a full meal.

As soon as I opened the door, I stepped into a solid chest.

This firm texture...

"Brother Qingguo, I'm sorry, I bumped into you by accident." Shan Xianxian raised her angry little face and hurriedly pulled away from Yu Qingguo.

Yu Qingguo has been much quieter these past few days, but today, his lust is raging.

Niu Xiaofen left with the child some time ago, and coupled with a lot of upsetting things happening lately, he, as a normal man, has certain needs.

I desperately need to vent.

Today, Shan Xianxian accidentally bumped into his arms. The two soft, fluffy objects made his heart clench, giving him a strange, unusual feeling. This was compounded by the sight of the girl's delicate, snow-white face, slightly flushed.

Yu Qingguo narrowed his eyes and said absentmindedly, "Nothing, where did you go?"

"We didn't go anywhere, just went out for a stroll and bought two pounds of fruit hard candy for our family to eat during the New Year." Shan Xianxian's heart raced under the man's gaze, and she quickly lowered her head to hide the displeasure and disgust in her eyes.

She stepped aside to make way for him, saying, "Brother Qingguo, I won't bother you anymore. You go ahead and do your work."

Fortunately, Yu Qingguo was wearing his uniform, clearly heading out for his shift. Normally, Shan Xianxian didn't need to interact with Yu Qingguo for very long, but she never expected that today, he would actually take the initiative to speak to her…
