Chapter 135 The Gift
The children lined up one by one to receive items, including food and toys. Although everyone received different things, they were all very happy.
Once the large package was empty, everyone had something in their hands, and even Xiao Taohua, who hadn't come, asked someone to take it back for her.
Little Peach Blossom looked at her excited friends and grinned with a great sense of accomplishment. She was extremely happy!
Lin Guangsheng was naturally happy to see his daughter happy.
"Okay, I'm going home now. Let's go out and play together later." There was still one big package left, and Little Peach Blossom had to continue distributing things. Although she was reluctant, Little Peach Blossom said goodbye to her friends.
The friends were reluctant to part, but Little Peach Blossom had said they would go out and play together later, so they were more focused on what they had in their hands.
"Look, this is a frog."
"Here I have candy."
"Hey, what is this?"
"That's how it should be played."
Anyway, everyone just waited where they were, and they were all very excited about the food and games.
Little Peach Blossom sat on the crossbar of her father's bicycle, where a seat had been installed especially for her. Because she was in a good mood, her legs swung back and forth, and she hummed a song.
The road to the production team was a bit bumpy, but it didn't affect Xiao Taohua's mood at all.
However, when they arrived home, the door was tightly shut.
Little Peach Blossom looked up at her father.
"I'll go ask." He doesn't seem to be home.
Lin Guangsheng asked the people around him and learned that his second brother's wife had taken several children to her parents' home. As for the two elders, they were not at home, and Lin Guangyi was naturally still busy with work and was not there either.
So, I went home only to find no one there.
Little Peach Blossom was a little disappointed, but it didn't matter. She could wait for everyone to come back, since she and her father would stay at the production team before her mother got off work.
The father and daughter took out their keys, opened the door, put the bicycle inside, and then Xiao Taohua said something to Lin Guangsheng before running out.
She just said she was going to play with her friends later.
Everyone was happy that Little Peach Blossom was back so quickly, and immediately started asking her all sorts of questions. Some asked what the city was like, others asked how to play with a certain toy, and some even took her out to eat candy and pastries. In short, before mealtime, Little Peach Blossom had already been fed to her fill by her friends.
Touching her bulging little belly, Little Peach looked at her friends a little embarrassed. She had brought gifts for her friends, but some of them had ended up in her own stomach.
I felt really embarrassed.
But the friends didn't care. It was originally brought to them by Little Peach Blossom, and sharing it with Little Peach Blossom made them even happier.
When it was lunchtime, Xiao Taohua parted ways with her friends. Those who went out at this time should all come back. These days, unless a family is particularly well-off, even Second Aunt Wang Qiu wouldn't eat at her parents' house.
Sure enough, when Xiao Taohua arrived home, Wang Qiu and the others had just returned, and Old Lin and the others had also come back from working in the fields. The whole house was bustling with activity.
Lin Yuqing and the others already knew that Xiao Taohua had returned, and they were just about to go out to look for her when they saw her arrive home.
"Little Peach Blossom, I heard you went to the city!"
"Yes, big brother."
"You also brought them gifts, are there any for me?" Lin Yuqing asked expectantly.
"some."
"Oh, really?!"
"real!"
"Very good."
The others quickly gathered around, asking, "Are there any for us?"
"Yes, yes, we have them all." She then pulled her older siblings and pointed to the bicycle: "It's inside that big package!"
"Wow, little peach blossom, I love you to death!" Lin Lili exclaimed, her eyes shining as she clenched her little hands.
The boys wanted to say the same thing, but they felt they should be more mature, yes, more mature.
The adults chuckled at the child's antics.
"Did you take Little Peach Blossom to the city?" Old Lin asked, puffing on his pipe.
"Yes, you can bring family members."
Old Lin nodded.
Then, Little Peach Blossom, who was chatting with her older brother and sister, suddenly came running over: "Grandpa."
"Hmm?" Old Lin looked down.
Although he didn't care about this adopted granddaughter and usually ignored her, Old Lin still responded when Little Peach Blossom came to him, since she was his eldest son's daughter and he had to give his eldest son face.
What's more...
Actually, Old Lin quite liked this girl.
She's not spoiled and is obedient; apart from being a girl, she's great in every other way.
"Grandpa, this is a gift that Little Peach Blossom bought for you in the city!" she said, looking at Old Lin with expectant eyes.
Old Lin's hand, which was holding a pipe, stiffened for a moment.
"grandfather?"
"Ah, it's for Grandpa. Thank you, Little Peach Blossom."
"You're welcome. Grandpa is Daddy's dad, it's only right for Little Peach Blossom." Little Peach Blossom smiled, then turned and ran back to the package.
Grandma Lin glanced sideways at her husband, then looked at Little Peach Blossom who had run away. For some reason, she felt a pang of discomfort in her heart.
There was Old Man Lin, but not her.
Grandma Lin would never admit that she felt even a little bit jealous.
Yes, she's not jealous.
Then, Little Peach Blossom ran over again, carrying something in her hands.
Grandma Lin immediately took a deep breath, watching as Little Peach Blossom ran up to her, and she seemed unable to let go of that breath.
"Grandma, this is a gift that Xiaotaohua brought back for you from the city."
The child's face wore a bright smile, neither awkward nor fake.
Grandma Lin was a little flustered, unsure of what to do—should she accept it or not? Then, in the next moment, her hand took it without her consent: "Thank you, Little Peach Blossom."
"Hmm, Grandma, see if you like it."
"I like it." Old Mrs. Lin replied unconsciously without looking at it.
But it was this response that made Xiaotaohua's smile even brighter.
However, Little Peach Blossom started handing out gifts like a little bee. There were gifts for Second Aunt, Second Uncle, and Lin Yuqing and the others. As for Third Uncle's family and Aunt's family who couldn't come, they all received gifts. No one was left out.
"This child is so thoughtful." Wang Qiu felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but blink.
"It's just a small favor." Old Mrs. Lin glanced at her. Although she said that, Old Mrs. Lin still couldn't help but touch the gift in her hand. This was a gift that Old Mrs. Lin had received from her juniors after living for so many years. She wanted to open it, but she couldn't bear to.
Wang Qiu remained silent, looking embarrassed.
She was, after all, her mother-in-law, so she didn't dare say anything.
But inwardly, I couldn't help but think, "Old people are really hard to please."
Little Peach Blossom was overjoyed when she received the gift, her eyes narrowing into slits.
Lin Guangsheng was naturally happy to see his daughter so happy.
As for the true relationship with the family, there's no need to tell the children; that's fine as it is.
"Brother, is life in the city relatively peaceful?" Lin Guangyi couldn't help but ask every time Lin Guangsheng came over, otherwise they wouldn't have much to talk about.
"Unstable." Lin Guangsheng's smile faded.
Lin Guangyi sighed: "That makes sense."
What's the matter with the production team?
"As expected, you can't hide it from your elder brother."
