Chapter 355 It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but too difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
Thinking about all this, Aunt Huo added, "In a few days it will be Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao's first birthday banquet. I've collected quite a few receipts, so you can take them with you then."
"My elder brother and sister-in-law must have made preparations in advance, but it's still a small token of our appreciation."
As she spoke, she opened the bedside table drawer.
He took out three pairs of silver bracelets from inside.
The bracelets are all the same size, only the patterns on them are different.
Every year, the auspicious dragon and phoenix are displayed above.
The fourth brother's family's soy milk is decorated with the character "福" (fortune) and auspicious clouds.
In addition, she had prepared the red envelopes in advance. The money in all three envelopes was the same, so there was no need to mark them.
Besides these, she also bought a basket of eggs and three pairs of tiger-head shoes.
When a child is born in Beijing, there's no restriction on when you visit the hospital.
It's fine as long as you go before the full moon.
The couple were so busy during this time that they didn't have time to think about it.
I'll take this opportunity to make up for all of these.
Worried that Uncle Huo might forget, she gave him a few more detailed instructions.
Uncle Huo wrote everything down. "Aren't you coming with me to take a look tomorrow?"
Aunt Huo shook her head. "I won't go. I have a case to handle and I really can't leave."
Besides, she's a forensic doctor; her hands are covered in blood all year round.
There are taboos in folk customs, and it's best to avoid getting too close to a child before their first birthday.
On the day of the first birthday party, she just went over for a meal, sat a little further away and watched the children.
Uncle Huo wanted to say something more, but Aunt Huo interrupted him directly, saying, "Alright, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Seeing this, Uncle Huo had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The next day, after finishing his work, Uncle Huo took these things back to the old house.
This was a token of the elders' affection for the children, and Jiang Si and Guan Xue accepted it happily on behalf of the children.
Before leaving, Uncle Huo gave Jiang Si the 1,000 yuan bonus he had received, saying, "This is your reward, please keep it safe."
As for whether there might be other compensation later, Uncle Huo didn't mention it.
These are just his guesses. If he were to say them now, and they don't come true in the end, wouldn't that be a waste of everyone's hopes?
Jiang Si didn't think too much about it. After all the people on the list were caught, the sword hanging over her head was gone, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
As a result of this incident, those who used to slack off at work are now all on high alert, afraid of being caught out.
In addition, the weather turned cold, and the construction schedule gradually slowed down.
With Director Yang and his team overseeing the construction site, there shouldn't be any major problems.
So the next day, after the routine meeting, Jiang Si went to see Minister Zhao.
Around National Day every year is the busiest time for my parents-in-law.
Huo Tingzhou had already reported to the military region's flight base a few days ago to prepare for the upcoming all-army competition.
Jiang Si plans to take a few days off to personally organize the first birthday party for the two little ones.
However, she didn't mention these things. After all, there are many people in her workplace, and if she mentioned that she was going to hold a banquet for her child, there might not be enough seats for even ten tables.
Therefore, Jiang Si did not publicize the banquet.
Besides the Hu and Xu families, she only invited Dean Gao, Professor Li, Director Yang, and her own assistant, Xiao Qi.
Then came the master and his wife.
When she got married, Chairman Zhou of the Artists Association personally made her a bloodstone seal. Jiang Si always remembered this kindness, so she specially invited Chairman Zhou.
Needless to say, Chris and Chi Heng will naturally be there too.
As for Minister Zhao, he has to go on a business trip to another city early tomorrow morning and is really too busy, so he has to give up.
However, before leaving the room, Minister Zhao secretly slipped two red envelopes to Jiang Si, saying it was a small token of his appreciation.
Jiang Si couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to accept it.
She'll prepare a return gift separately when Minister Zhao returns; otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate.
After handing over her work, Jiang Si took some seasonal fruit from her spatial storage.
I also used the one-click cooking function to make several bottles of canned oranges with the spiritual spring water, and brought them over to Secretary Yan.
During the conversation, Jiang Si expressed her apology for having previously doubted Secretary Yan.
After listening, Secretary Yan waved his hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, you really don't need to take this to heart."
It's understandable that she had such suspicions, since the other party was trying to drag him out as a scapegoat.
Besides, he had known Vice Minister Xu for decades and still couldn't see through his true colors, so how could he blame Jiang Si?
The person most moved by this was Secretary Yan's wife.
Holding Jiang Si's hand, her eyes were slightly red as she said, "Little Jiang, Lao Yan and I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you clearing his name, we wouldn't even have the courage to live."
"And thank you so much for taking Lao Yan to the hospital last time and paying his medical expenses on his behalf..."
These days, it's easy to add flowers to brocade, but it's too difficult to offer charcoal in the snow.
They will always remember this kindness.
Before leaving, Secretary Yan's wife gave Jiang Si a lot of things and personally escorted her downstairs.
I repeatedly told her to come visit me at home whenever she has time.
Jiang Si nodded.
Just as she composed herself and was about to get on the bus, two somewhat familiar figures suddenly appeared in her line of sight.
The visitors were Secretary Tan's mother and elder brother.
The two were carrying a lot of things and were registering at the entrance of the family compound.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Si couldn't help but smile, and this good mood lasted until the next day.
After lunch, Jiang Si put the two little ones, who were tired from playing, to sleep and then handed them over to her third uncle and Uncle Zhong.
He then drove to Beijing Railway Station to pick up the person.
It's rare that the train wasn't delayed today, and it even arrived at the station more than ten minutes early.
When Jiang Si parked the car and walked quickly to the exit, it was already crowded with passengers carrying large and small bags.
Fortunately, Jiang Si is tall and has fair skin.
He stood out in the crowd.
From afar, Hu Meili spotted her and excitedly waved, "Si Meizi—"
Hearing that familiar loud voice, Jiang Si quickly went to greet him.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the three of them were quite excited when they met again.
After exchanging a few more words, Jiang Si's gaze fell on the Wei brothers, Wei Dong and Wei Min.
It's been almost a year since I last saw them. The two kids have gotten darker and are much stronger.
The second child, in particular, has grown a lot taller.
Jiang Si remembered that when he left, he barely reached her armpits.
It's almost up to her chin now.
Moreover, the second child seems to have become more composed than before.
