Lu Lin gave a worthless smile. "I'll call whoever answers."
Gu Mingyue shuddered at the cheesy remark. "Alright, stop teasing Wanwan. Hurry up and take the things out, or she'll really cry."
Looking at her disdainful gaze, Lu Lin thought of the contents of the manual and a question mark appeared on his head.
Wasn't this method supposed to be very effective? Why doesn't it work for her at all?
Lu Lin felt that he must have been tricked by his brothers. He would throw the manual away when he got back, and he couldn't let such a dark history remain.
On the other side, Lu Wanwan was still crying.
She was pretending to be sad, but seeing her brother completely unprepared, she felt more and more upset and finally couldn't help but cry.
"How old are you? Why are you still crying like a little child?"
Lu Lin went back into the house and took out the things.
A beautifully packaged gift box appeared in front of Lu Wanwan, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Is this...is this for me?"
He spoke with a thick nasal tone.
Lu Lin chuckled softly, "Of course it's for you. From childhood to adulthood, I've never missed a birthday present for you."
Lu Wanwan instantly went from tears to laughter, but she still remembered how her brother had said he hadn't prepared a gift, so she tilted her head and complained to her grandmother.
"Grandma, you see, my older brother just knows how to lie to me."
Xia Huiying pretended to pat Lu Lin's arm hard, "Grandma will beat him up for you."
Gu Mingyue also took out the gift she had prepared.
Although it's not Lu Wanwan's birthday yet, since we've already prepared in advance, why not give her a few more surprises?
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Wanwan opened the gift box her sister-in-law had given her, her heart filled with anticipation, wondering what was inside.
"Wow!"
Upon seeing what was inside the box, Lu Wanwan was overjoyed.
Gu Mingyue made a dress for Lu Wanwan, and she did everything herself, from selecting the fabric to making the pattern and sewing the final product.
"My sister-in-law is amazing, I love her so much."
Lu Wanwan happily hugged Gu Mingyue and wouldn't let go.
"I'm glad you like it."
Lu Wanwan was even eager to change into it, but she suppressed her excitement for the time being because she was thinking about the gift her brother had prepared.
My older brother has given me all sorts of gifts before, including notebooks and clothes.
But as I get older, it seems like there are fewer and fewer things I can give as gifts.
Because I had already given her everything I could for her birthday before, my older brother would simply prepare a red envelope. This is the first time he has prepared a gift for her since she became an adult.
Gu Mingyue also wanted to know what gift Lu Lin had prepared. Could it be that he, being such a straight man, had prepared a red envelope again?
Lu Lin looked at the other two who were eagerly waiting and said, "I've also prepared gifts for you."
Gu Mingyue & Xia Huiying: Huh? They got gifts too?
He took out two equally beautifully wrapped gifts from behind him.
Now that each person has one, there's no need to be curious about what else is.
"Why did you suddenly decide to buy us things?"
Xia Huiying felt that her grandson was hiding something from them.
"It's nothing, I just thought this item would be perfect for you guys when I was shopping at the mall, so I bought it."
He looked at Gu Mingyue solemnly and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you this morning."
Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow. "So you're admitting it now?"
In front of his family, Lu Lin's ears burned a little. "It's my fault. Recently, Wanwan has been taking you out a lot. I was worried about you, so I wanted to check on what you were doing."
Gu Mingyue originally thought he wouldn't admit it, but since he did, there was no need to keep bringing it up.
"We are preparing, and we will let you know in a while."
Work?
Lu Lin didn't know what they were busy with, but since Gu Mingyue had said so, he had a good idea.
Lu Wanwan had already opened the gift her older brother had prepared.
The next second, screams erupted from the living room.
Zhong Yuxiu and Lu Qinming, who had just entered from outside, were startled by the sound and took two steps back.
"What's wrong with Wanwan?"
Zhong Yuxiu looked at her screaming daughter with confusion.
Lu Wanwan held up the contents of the box, "My older brother actually gave me a lipstick!"
God knows that her older brother never gave her the things a girl should have.
In the past, gifts were always conventional, or simply a red envelope; gifts like lipstick were never given.
"Mom is back just in time, so I also prepared a portion for you."
When Zhong Yuxiu opened it, she found it was almost identical to her daughter's, and a look of relief immediately appeared on her face.
The child has finally come to her senses; she no longer wants to talk about the birthday gifts she received in the past.
There are all sorts of random things here. It's not appropriate to throw them away, since they're a token of my son's affection, but keeping them at home is really pointless.
Xia Huiying shook the box in her hand and said with a smile, "Could it be that I get this gift too?"
The mother and her two children looked at the similar gift boxes, and then glanced silently at the box in Gu Mingyue's hand.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Mingyue slowly opened the box.
The items were mostly the same, but the only difference was that there was an extra set of skincare products.
Lu Lin's eyes flickered for a moment, "The sales clerk said this is very good, so I bought a bottle."
Gu Mingyue picked it up and saw that it was actually a well-known domestic brand from later generations.
She smiled gently, as bright as spring sunshine, and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Lu Wanwan clicked her tongue in amazement. Sure enough, having a boyfriend makes a difference; the gifts her older brother gives her now are much more normal.
Lu Qinming looked at this person and that person, then at his son who was laughing so hard he looked worthless. Why hadn't anyone prepared a gift for him?
Because of the gift her older brother gave her, Lu Wanwan forgave him in just one second.
Gu Mingyue felt that she couldn't just take his gift for nothing, so she decided to make him a few more outfits while she had the time.
Previously, she had only given him shirts, but now Lu Mingyue thought she could make him a jacket.
After all, given the seasons in Beijing, the weather turns cool after the Mid-Autumn Festival, making it inappropriate to wear a shirt.
On Lu Wanwan's birthday, she invited several close friends over to her home for a celebration.
As soon as Song Miaoyu entered the door, Lu Wanwan pulled her into the house.
Lu Wanwan happily showed off the gifts her sister-in-law and older brother had given her.
"This is just too wonderful."
Song Miaoyu looked at Lu Wanwan's clothes with great envy, wishing she had a sister-in-law like that.
Unfortunately, the eldest brother appeared too late, and he and Sister Mingyue were destined to be apart.
"By the way, Xiaoyu and the others also want us to make clothes for them, as does Xiaolan."
As their orders increased, more and more people learned about them.
The current order backlog extends to the middle of next month, and they are considering whether to temporarily suspend operations, given their limited manpower.
Normally, the work of making clothes is left to Gu Mingyue and the old tailor. Apart from their work, the three of them can only lend a hand and can't help with the clothes making. They can only worry helplessly.
Before they could take any action, someone came knocking on their door.
