Because of this, the three sisters-in-law had quite a bit of a scuffle yesterday.
But Jiang Si alone couldn't persuade the two of them.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept the red envelope.
Thinking this, Jiang Si went back to her room and put all the receipts she had on her into her bag.
These were all given to me by my mother-in-law when we divided the family property.
Some of these bills are about to expire, and it would be a waste if they weren't used soon.
"We'll go to the square first, and if we don't run into them, we'll go to the department store."
"I want to buy a gift for each of my second brother's and fourth brother's families."
"Oh, and also my grandparents and parents, they've worked hard these past few days too."
"We don't know when we'll be back next time. If we find some suitable clothes later, we'll buy them a couple more outfits."
Jiang Si explained her plan, and Huo Tingzhou had no objections.
She simply reminded him, "Tomorrow is the day for your return visit to your parents' home. You should buy the gifts for that visit before you go out."
After saying that, he also took out the receipts he had exchanged with his comrades during this period.
Jiang Si glanced at it and saw that the variety was quite complete.
With what she has, that's enough for today.
Just before leaving, Jiang Si suddenly remembered something, "Have the train tickets for the 5th already gone on sale today?"
Last time, because she asked an old classmate, her classmate had someone reserve the train tickets for her on the day they went on sale.
Jiang Si remembered that the other party mentioned that in those days, train tickets were sold three days in advance.
Thinking that Beijing is the first station on the way, tickets might sell out quickly.
Jiang Si said, "Let's go to the train station and buy the tickets first. I'm afraid I won't be able to get a carriage if we go too late."
Unexpectedly, Huo Tingzhou had already arranged these things in advance.
"I've already had someone buy the tickets. We can pick them up near the train station after we finish our business."
With everything arranged so well, Jiang Si had nothing to worry about.
Once they had packed their things, the two of them quickly set off.
However, as soon as the car entered Chang'an Avenue, Jiang Si immediately sensed something was wrong.
Today is Thursday, not a regular holiday, so why are there so many people on both sides of the road?
When they arrived near the square, looking at the huge, dark mass of people in front of them, Jiang Si's trypophobia almost kicked in.
I expected there would be a lot of people near the square today, but I didn't expect there to be this many.
In this situation, let alone going in to look for someone.
They might get in, but it could take two or three hours to squeeze out.
Jiang Si sighed, "Never mind, let's go to the department store first."
Huo Tingzhou responded with a "Mm".
Upon arriving near the department store, Huo Tingzhou parked the car, and the two headed straight for the third floor.
On the way here, Jiang Si had already written down what she wanted to buy.
In addition, I brought enough money and tickets this time, so the purchase was quick.
It was completed in less than two hours.
There was so much stuff that Jiang Si had to take inventory of it after getting back to the car.
I bought a sheepskin hat for Grandpa and Grandma Huo, which goes perfectly with the cotton-padded coat I bought for them last time.
I bought cashmere scarves for my mother-in-law, my second sister-in-law, and my fourth brother's wife.
Jiang Si chose the colors according to their preferences.
Jiang Si bought a pair of leather shoes for Huo's father, and originally wanted to buy a pair for Huo Tingzhou as well.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find his size, so Jiang Si took it upon herself to buy him a belt.
My second brother's two children are now old enough to start elementary school.
Jiang Si didn't buy any more toys.
I bought a schoolbag for each of my two children, and also a pencil case with the multiplication table printed on it.
As for her eldest brother's family, who lived far away in Xinjiang Province, Jiang Si did not forget them either.
Although my older brother and sister-in-law didn't come back for their wedding, they called ahead to send their blessings and even wired me a wedding gift.
The eldest brother's family had gone to great lengths to observe proper etiquette, so Jiang Si naturally couldn't be sloppy either.
Since she didn't know the sizes, Jiang Si bought some fabric and yarn.
I plan to send it to them sometime later.
Knowing that she would be returning to Qiongzhou Island in a few days, Jiang Si also bought a gift for both Sister Hu and Sister Xu's families.
He Ping was naturally involved in this as well.
Next comes buying gifts for the bride's return visit.
The items were purchased according to the list prepared by Mrs. Huo beforehand, including six kinds of pastries, two packs of tea, and one pig's head and one pig's tail.
Finally, there were four apples and four oranges.
While buying fruit, Jiang Si suddenly thought of something.
Many former high-ranking officials also attended their wedding, just like the old man.
Back then, we all climbed snow-capped mountains and walked across grasslands.
These people are now of retirement age, but due to lingering ailments from their earlier years, their health is deteriorating day by day.
So on the day of the meal, coughing could be heard everywhere.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Si said to Huo Tingzhou, "Let's buy all the oranges in this basket."
"You bought them all?"
Huo Tingzhou wasn't worried about the money, but this basket of oranges weighed at least 100 pounds, and they couldn't finish eating so many in a short time.
Jiang Si bought so much, of course not for herself.
"I want to make some canned goods."
After saying that, she explained, "This doesn't require a ticket either, so we can buy more."
"Once it's done, we'll send some to the old leaders in the compound as a return gift."
Of course, making canned goods was just a pretense; she just wanted to take this opportunity to add some spiritual spring water to them.
Jiang Si's reason for doing this is quite simple.
