Jiang Si was unaware of these things, and when she learned that the old man was not at home, she didn't think much of it.
I quickly took out the clothes I had bought for them.
"Grandma, A-Zhou and I just went to the department store."
"I thought this cotton-padded jacket was quite nice, so I bought one for you and one for Grandpa. Try it on and see if it fits."
"Okay, okay~"
Influenced by her mother, Grandma Huo never disappointed the children in such matters.
He immediately took off his outer jacket and put on the one Jiang Si had bought.
The cotton-padded jacket that Jiang Si picked out was the latest style from the department store this year, and it was one-third more expensive than ordinary cotton-padded jackets.
But you get what you pay for.
When the salesperson told her that the filling was duck down instead of silk floss, Jiang Si bought four pieces in one go.
Besides her grandparents, she had already mailed the two items for her third uncle and Uncle Zhong when she passed by the post office earlier.
As soon as the clothes were put on, Grandma Huo couldn't stop praising them.
"Great, great, the size is just right."
"It feels warm to wear and doesn't feel cumbersome at all."
"Sisi, this cotton-padded coat must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Jiang Si smiled but didn't reply. "Grandma, as long as you like it."
"I love it, I love it. Grandma will love anything you buy."
Grandma Huo smiled and, taking advantage of her good mood, told him that she wanted to hold a banquet for the young couple.
Huo Tingzhou had actually mentioned this to her on the way back.
Jiang Si had no objection to this, since marriage is a matter between two families.
Since the elders are keen to hold a banquet, and they happen to be in Beijing, let's hold one to put their minds at ease.
"Grandma, A-Zhou and I have no objection, it's just that we don't know much about this, so we can only trouble you to help us with this."
"What's the trouble?"
Grandma Huo said happily, "I know you're all busy, so you don't need to worry about the banquet. Leave these things to your grandfather and me. We're just sitting at home doing nothing anyway."
"By the way, you should call your in-laws' third uncle later and ask if they have time to come over, so we can all have some fun together."
Jiang Si thought to herself, "There's no need to ask about that."
Even if Third Uncle doesn't have time, he will always make time for it.
But thinking about it, I'll ask anyway.
As soon as they finished their meal, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou told their third uncle about the upcoming banquet.
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle laughed until tears streamed down his face.
No, he had to tell his older brother the good news first thing tomorrow morning.
Bring some more good wine over to my elder brother!
Sniffing, Third Uncle said, "Okay, I understand. Tell me which day you've decided, and Ah Zhong and I will arrive two days in advance."
This question falls into an area of Jiang Si's knowledge gap; she doesn't really understand it either.
Fortunately, Grandma Huo had made thorough preparations beforehand, and she answered the phone with a smile.
After some discussion among the elders of both sides, the date for the banquet was set for New Year's Day.
Jiang Si had no objections, as New Year's Day was only a month away.
Huo Tingzhou still had half a month left on her vacation, and she was almost finished with her work.
After the banquet is over, they can go back to Shanghai for a few days.
With the date set, Grandma Huo was so happy that she didn't care about the young couple. Seeing this, Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou went upstairs together.
After organizing all the bottles and jars she had bought, Jiang Si put the pajamas she had changed out of yesterday into the basin.
And those clothes I bought today, I need to wash them too.
"Leave it there, I'll take care of it later."
Huo Tingzhou took all the clothes from her hands at once, perhaps because Jiang Si's words today had given him some courage.
The moment he touched her fingertips, Huo Tingzhou did not pull back as quickly as usual.
Instead, he held her hand tightly.
Others may not know how much brainpower she used to create those paintings, but Huo Tingzhou knew it perfectly well.
"You've been working hard all morning, go lie down on the bed for a while."
Jiang Si didn't pretend to be tired. She got up very early in the morning and spent the whole morning in the cold wind in the stadium.
Now that I've eaten and drunk my fill, I am indeed a little sleepy.
After she got into bed, Huo Tingzhou took out a military green sheet from his backpack.
They were neatly spread out on the other side of the bed.
Then he took a towel and put it on the pillow.
During the mission, Lao Xiao would often share his wisdom on how couples should get along, whenever he had a spare moment.
The key point is the pitfalls he's encountered over the years.
Huo Tingzhou didn't take it seriously at first, until Lao Xiao said that his wife no longer liked to sleep in the same bed with him.
The reason is that he sweats a lot.
The same bed sheet would darken by a shade within three days on the side he slept on, and the same went for the pillowcase.
The problem is that this can't be washed off.
When they first got married, Hu Meili could still tolerate it.
Now that her child is old enough to run errands, she's not going to put up with anything anymore. She just kicked her husband out to the second bedroom.
When he said this, Xiao Zhengjun specifically pointed at him.
"Your wife looks like she's very clean, so you'd better be careful."
"Once this bed is separated, it will be difficult to go back to it later."
Huo Tingzhou wasn't actually prone to sweating, but he slept alone.
He can't guarantee he won't sweat if he sleeps in the same bed as his wife.
Regardless of whether it's possible or not, he wanted to eliminate the possibility in advance, which led to today's scene of making the bed.
