Luckily, I expected this; I was prepared for the child to cry.
[Someone like Juanjuan might not cry when she's in pain or when she's wronged outside, but she's very likely to cry when she's surrounded by gentle things or when she's in a relationship with family.]
Juanjuan held the handkerchief in her hand. What her third brother said was pretty much true; she was still like that.
The child felt a little embarrassed and ashamed about crying.
"Alright, alright, isn't Juanjuan curious about what her parents and brothers gave her?"
Fortunately, Bai Tian changed the subject in time.
Actually, I also want to know what gifts the three sons gave Juanjuan.
None of them knew what gift the other had given them.
"Thank you, Father and Mother. Thank you, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother."
Juanjuan took one of the small boxes, while the other four boxes were temporarily placed on the table next to her, waiting in line for Juanjuan to open them.
The first little box was a gift from my mother. Inside were small pieces of wood of different colors and a blueprint.
Juanjuan took out the drawing and opened it to see six little figures drawn on it. It was immediately obvious that the drawing depicted the Bai family of six.
Bai Tian: [This thing looks familiar, a jigsaw puzzle? Interesting.]
"This is called a jigsaw puzzle. Juanjuan can piece these small wooden pieces together according to the positions shown in the picture, and then it can become a picture!"
Jiang Dai: [Let's put our home together! Juanjuan should love this atmosphere of the whole family being together!]
Juanjuan nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Mommy, I like it very much!"
Then, upon opening the gift given by Bai Tian, they found a stack of... silver notes inside the box.
"That's a bit tacky, but Dad just thinks that it's better for you to have money to spend than anything else. This money is all for you, you can allocate it yourself and buy whatever you want."
Bai Tian scratched his head.
[This might seem a bit vulgar compared to Jiang Dai's approach, but...kids probably like money too! We can teach Juanjuan about money management! Learning to spend money early is a skill in itself.]
Juanjuan held the box and smiled at her father: "Thank you, Daddy."
The box behind it moved slowly and came to a steady stop in front of Juanjuan.
Bai Yunqi smiled and looked at his sister, silently urging her to open his box.
Without any hesitation, Juanjuan opened her older brother's box.
Then the child saw a very beautiful pale yellow jade, carved into the shape of a butterfly, and made into a pendant necklace.
"Wow……"
Juanjuan exclaimed in delight.
The main reason is that this jade butterfly pendant is very beautiful at first glance. It is lifelike and even has a touch of spirit, as if it can really fly.
"Wearing it often is good for your health!"
[This is a piece of jade I selected after searching the entire capital city. It's infused with spiritual energy, nourishing the soul and mind subtly, primarily for gradual healing. It's amazing!]
"good!"
Juanjuan readily agreed, then handed the pendant to her mother, indicating that she would like her mother to help her put it on.
Once the pendant is on, Juanjuan should open her second brother's box.
Although I already knew what gift my second brother was going to give, there was still a difference between hearing about it and seeing it in person.
Juanjuan really liked the Hundred Blessings Sutra copied by her second brother, especially his handwriting; she could even use it as a calligraphy model.
Bai Yunxing: "I copied this by hand, and I hope my sister won't find it offensive."
"How could I possibly mind? Thank you, Second Brother."
Juanjuan thanked her second brother and carefully put it away.
Soon, only one unopened box remained on the table.
Bai Yun'an wasn't in a hurry. With a relaxed, faint smile on his face, he waited quietly.
Perhaps only one remains, and almost everyone is curious about what Bai Yun'an gave as a gift.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Juanjuan opened the box.
There were two things in the box. One was an old book that was a bit yellowed and worn. On the book was a small, pretty square that smelled nice and had petal-like decorations.
I still haven't figured out what these fragrant and pretty little squares are for.
Then I heard the same surprised voice echoing in my parents' hearts.
[Soap?]
